Important For
Farmers To Make
AAA Reports Now
Chairman Urges Farmers To
Make Report Under 1914
Program

Farmers of Ashe county should
report the practices they have
carried out under the provisions
of the 1914 AAA program as soon
as they have completed carrying
out these practices, according to
T. J. GRAPHICAL, chairman of the
Ashe county AAA committee.
''It is more important this year
than ever before, that practices
be reported early so that farmers
who have not earned their full
payment may have an opportuni-
ty to do so by carrying out addi-
tiona1 practices before the close
of the program year, and we
would like to have report on
every farm in the county before
the first of December" Mr.. Gray
heal states. eff each farmer
would report his practices the
next time he is in West Jefferson,
we would have most of the reports
completed by this date"
To receive credit for practices
on the 1914 program they must
be performed by December 81,
1914. We have only two months
left in which to perform these
practices so what has already
been performed should be report
ed now so that farmers may be
informed as to what they need to
do in order to earn their full pay
ments, Mr.. GRAPHICAL states.
