A Larger Burley
Tobacco Acreage
Allotment Sought
County Agent Files Report And
Requests Increase In AllOtt-
ment For 1888.

County Agent C. J. Rich this week
requested E. Y. Floyd, of the Elk
tension Service, to use his influence
to give Ashe county larger base
acreage for the 1888 hurley tobac-
co crop.
According to a report which Mr..
Rich sent in yesterday, there were
around $50 acres of hurley tobac-
co raised in Ashe last year and the
base allotment only gave 40 acres
For the 1888 crop Mr.. Rich and
the county committee are requesting
that the base acreage allotment be
increased to 1853.
Under the provisions of the new
farm bill, farmers will be fined for
raising over their allottments this
year and will not participate in
the benefits, either.
eve do not want to be selfish or
freedy, but we would appreciate
a much larger county allotment, y
Mr.. Rich wrote. "WeD are wonder
ing just how the National goal OF
100000 acres of hurley tobacco is
to be distributed out among the
states. Would it be unreasonable
to ask if the hurley counties of the
state should not have an average
of 1000 acres each?"

By Defeating Lansing Tues.
Grassy Greek Boys Licked Riv-
ais At Healing Springs, q
to IL. Play Cove Greek.

Virginia Carolina boys won the
Ashe county basketball tournament
Tuesday night when they defeated
Lansing in a play-off game on the
Healing Springs court by the count
of % to II.
Led by Don Walker and playing
both an excellent offensive and de-
fensive game, the VIC lads didn't
have much difficulty in trouncing
the team that gave them plenty of
trouble throughout the playing
sea on and tied the standing up in
tbs last scheduled game.
Several fans who saw the game
said that Coach Morphis' boys, how
ever, were off rather badly. Their
floor game was far below par and
they missed many Grip shots.
This victory gave Coach Barnum's
teams the Ashe championships as
the girls came out on top when the
season ended In the near future
they will meet the strong Cove
Creek boys and girls for the cham
pionship of the Appalachian asso-
citation.
The date for these games had
not been set when this was written

Hope To Raise Enough Money
To Pay Parsonage Debt. add
ed Attraction" Offered.

This Sunday will be dollar Day.
at the West jefferson Methodist
church!
In announcing this unique and
modern title for church service
Rev. w. j. Huneycutt, pastor, stat
ed that the local merchants are
having "Pre-Easter Trade Days
this week end and he thought it
would be a good time to have a
Dollar Day" at the church Sun
day.
The purpose of the Dollar Day.
is to raise enough money to pay the
$4,000 that the church now owes
for materials and labor on the par
eonage, Mr.. Huneycutt said. He
is hoping that the attendance viii
be unusually good Sunday and that
everybody will bring along one dol
lar. The pastor states that it doesn't
make any difference whether the
dollar is a new or old one, whether
it is paper or silver, just so long
as it is worth one hundred cents in
United States currency!
In the language of the circus or
theatre, special music will be rem
dered by the male quartet from
Appalachian State Teachers Col
lege as an added attraction. The
pastors brother, Jerome, is a mem
Der of this quartet. Mr.. Huney-
cult has chosen as his sermon top
ic, "The Supreme Importance Of
Worship. He will talk briefly to
the children on, talking pictures"
It is believed that this is the first
time an announced dollar day"
service has ever been planned for
church in Ashe county and The
Post is looking forward to seeing
what effect it has on attendance!
Using the editorial 1--WE" in the news
columns, 1--WE hope the church is
filed to capacity.

DISTRICT SCHOOL
SYSTEM FACES
HUGE DEFICIT.
Drastic Economy Moves
Must Be Made

Facing a large deficit in the
I93s-39 appropriation for heat and
light the entire District school
system is confronted by a drastic
program Of economy during the
next several months.
Activities of numerous civic
groups using school buildings for
their gatherings will be affected

down of Community Center activi-
ties Is also threatened.
SURE DEFICIT
The program was authorized
late yesterday by the Board OF
Education in approving a report
Of its finance committee indicating
q sure deficit of $27,5 below the
past year for fuel, gas and elec'
tricity.
Asserting that drastic saving
must be brought about during this
fiscal year" the report said:
This necessity is further in
tensified and reinforced by the
fact that several buildings which
came into use during the last
school year were not in use in
1887 but will be in use the full
IL months of the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1885,"
REVISION IN SCHEDULE
The report said the deficit not
only caused serious situation in
itself but called attention to the
revision in the schedule of cost
Of electric current which will in
crease cost of electricity in certain
larger school units where large
amount of electricity IS used be
tween the hours of 4::30 and $3.50
p. m" in the late fall and winter
months.

owners, the Public Utilities Com

ton by the Taxicab Drivers Union,
Local AT, for a boost in fares to
meet costs of the new compulsory
