Friendsville Youths
Arrested For Theft

Apprehension of three youths at
Friendsville, and the obtaining of a
confession from them, has solved the
Friendsville postoffice robbery and
several others in that vicinity, accord
ing to county authorities.
The three arrested last week were
Ebert McCombie, II; James King,
II; and Foster King, Is. They waived
hearing and are being held in the
county Jail on charges of breaking
and entering.
On April 10, the boys, according to
their confession, entered the post
office building. Several dollars in cash
was taken from two small tills there
and the same night Frazee's service
station was entered and $500 in
pennies taken. Authorities said most
of the money was recovered, the pen
MES having been buried in a quart
and two pint jars.
Sheriff j. w. Owens said the arrest
of the three would probably clear up
the several petty robberies that had
been committed in that vicinity
within recent months.

FARMERS BEING ADVISED
OF WHEAT REFERENDUM
Would Be Subject to Marketing
Penalties If Voted Upon Favor
ably on Saturday, May 81

Farmers are being advised by letter
this week of the national wheat refer
endum which is tentatively announced
for May 81. The Congressional Act
requires the Referendum to carry by
two-thirds majority; and should the
Referendum carry, it will affect all
farmers whose normal yield exceeds
200 bushels of wheat.
Farmers of this county would be
asked to vote for or against this ref
erendum at four designated areas in
the county.
If the Referendum carries, all farm
ers choosing wheat allotments and
harvesting within their ALLOTTED acre
age would not be subject to marketing
penalties, but would be eligible for
parity and ACP payments. Should a
farmer not choose an allotment he
would be subject to marketing quota
penalties if his normal production ex-
ceeds 200 bushels and he would not
receive a parity payment.
Should the Referendum carry. 1t
provides a penalty of SO cents per
bushel in excess of the normal pro-
duction on the farm and the farm
would not qualify for the total pay
ment of Is cents per bushel available
for any allotment farm harvesting
within their allotted acreage.
According to John H. Carter, county
agent, farm supervisor will be call
ing at various farms to assist farm
ers if they choose to have their farm
listed as an allotment farm. 1t is not
compulsory that the farm be listed as
an allotment farm, but if the normal
production exceeds 200 bushels the
farmer would be subject to marketing
penalties whether or not he had ever
participated in the Agricultural Con-
servatlon program.
