Wheat Growers
Must Have Their
Marketing Cards
Penalty Imposed If Sold With
out Cards. Can Be Gotten
From Farm Agent.

For a grower to$sell wheat
without being subject to penal
ty, it is necessary for him to have
a marketing card which can be
obtained from the county agrl-
cultural committee, it was an
nounced this week.
In referendum held last May,
the wheat growers voted to have
marketing restrictions this year
with the view of getting the
price up on wheat.
According to the regulation,
wheat growers without market
ing cards will be subject to
penalties if they pay a thresher
or a mill with wheat to cover the
toll charges. It does not apply,
however, if cash is paid for such
services. Threshers land millers
have to keep complete records.
Any farmer having less than
Is acres of wheat this year can
get marketing card at once by
applying at the farm agents Of
flee. If he has more than IS &C
res, he will have to make appIi-
cation and wait for the crop to
be measured.
It is estimated that there are
around 900 wheat growers IN
Ashe county. Most of these, it is
stated, are small growers, with
an average of approximately 2
acres.
The present market price of
wheat is around $1.20 per bushel.
The county agricultural COM
mittee met yesterday and set up
wheat production quotas for 1912.

Plans For The New River
Soil Dist. Are Announced
Complete Study of Soil Con-
ditiOns and Farm Practi-
ces to Be Studied.

Station McIver, conservatlonlst
of the newly approved New Rlv-
err soil conservation district, an
nounced this week that plans
were being mapped out to help
the farmers in Ashe and Ale
ghany counties carry out a pro-
gram designed to obtain the
maximum soil and water conser-
walton through good land-use and
farm practices.
To obtain the help of the Fed
eral Department of Agriculture
the board of supervisors of the
district have planned that a COM
plete study of soil conditions and
cropping practices will be made
of each farm applying for help.
The farmer and a representative
of the district will then go over
the entire farm to discuss each
erosion problem and make plans
to remedy it.
After this is done a plan is pre-
pared by the farmer and the dis
trict representative whereby the
farmer with the help of the dis
trict may put into operation the
soil conserving practices agreed
upon. Work will be scheduled
over a period of years depend
ing upon the ability of the farm
er to get the work done and the
resources of the district to help
him.
Cooperation of Individual farm
ers with the district in their eff.
forts to conserve soil on theil
farm is strictly on a voluntary
basis.
After an individual farmer
makes application to the district
for help, the district will make
soils map on an aerial photo
graph of the farm showing the
type of soil, degree of existing
erosion, present land-use and
slope conditions. This map is then
used by the farmer and the dis
trict planning technician in plan
ming a complete soil conserving
