P. Woodard to get their farm plans signed before April 15. Woodard stated that af ter April 15 it will be impossible to sign any more farm plans and- that unless these plans are signed there will be no way of making payments. Many farmers made out farm plans when they placed their order for grant of aid ma terial. Included on the farm plan sheet are such things as the acreage al lotted for money crops, on which there is a limitation; the number of units which may be earned on the farm; and how these units may be earned. The number of units per farm is figured from the basis of the number of acres in cultiva^ tion and the allotment of money crops. Units for all farms are fig ured by the same method applied NEW YORK INTERESTS MAY CUT 100,000 CORDS OF PULPWOOD IN DARE Old Dare Lumber Company Property May I Soon Be Place For Employment of 100,0001 Laborers to Harvest Crop of Scrub Gum and Pine For Marketing in Hopewell, Vir ginia Rumor of a proposed pulpwood I AT/HOME IS cutting project on the Dare County A -VT ^ r'l?!?'
