New Farm Corn
AIIotments Now

Any producer who intends to
plant corn in 1855 on a farm
where no corn was planted dur
ing the years 1852, 1853, or 1854
should apply for new farm
corn acreage allotment if he
wants price suppo' on corn or any
ACP payment in 1855, Lloyd
Roby, Chairman of the Madison
County Agriculture; Stabiliza,ion
and Conservation Committee, said
today.
Marketing quotas do not apply
to corn, the chairman explained.
However, under the acreage allot-
mcnt program, the production Of
corn in 1855 on a farm which has
no corn acreage allotment would
make the producer on such farm
ineligible for any payment under
the 1855 Agricultural Conscrva-
tion Program.
Application forms for new
farm" corn acreage alloiments arc
available at the County ASC Of
flee. January Is, 1855 is the last
day such applications may be fill
ed.

Invented Heaters
Blamed In Deaths

Recent deaths from carbon mon
oxide in Ohio have caused the
Franklin County Safety Director
TO consider manslaughter charges
against landlords as one answer
to the problem of heating rooms
with invented heaters.
Twenty carbon monoxide deaths
were recorded between Christmas
and New Years Day.
The danger is a real one, be-
cause the gas is deadly and not
detectable by odor or reaction un-
til almost too late.
Watch your own heaters, and if
you are running this needless
risk, do something about it now

County Fair In Balance As
Board Adopts Resolution
$4,000 Needed By
Jan. II For Debts

The Madison County Fair
Board resolves that unless supple
mental financial conditions and
other existing circumstances are
cleared up by Tuesday, January
IL, 1855, plans for the 1855 fair
be cancelled"
This resolution was the culnina-
tion of the Fair Board meeting
held here last Wednesday. All
members Of the board present
answered in the affirmative for
the adoption of the resolution.
The meeting began with the ten
dering of the designations of the
secretary, Robert Hines, and the
president, John Sanford. Both men
gave as their reasons outside i'm
fluencc brought TO bear on the
board and politics played in the
appropriation Of funds they claim
are due the board from the County
Commissioners. The designations
were tabled by the remainder of
the board.
The financial condition of the
fair operation led the board fo
request levy from the voters last
November. This request was the
only one Of ten to be denied. As
result, the operation ended with
approximately a $4,000 deficit for
1854 as in 1853.
It is said to be within the DOW
or of the county commissioners TO
advance money from the general
fund to pay this deficit, but they
have allegedly refused to do so
without an audit OF the books.
Secretary Bob Hines says the
books are ready for audit and in
spection. Crux of the trouble is
repeatedly the salary of the sec
retary. established for the past
year by the board at $500. To
date. the secretary has not receiv-
cd this salary, saying. Il felt that
while the society was so much in
arrears, it would be unfair for me
to pay myself.
Hines further stated that I'VE
are jeopardizing the future of the
farm kids in the community by
playing politics., referring TO the
! great interest in the fair BY the
. All and other farm groups.
Sanford also objected to poll
) tics" in the operation of the board,
: and included his objection in his
, resignation.
: The board explained that COM
, mitments for fair concessions must
! be made early in the year and
! that the outstanding debts would
, put them at a disadvantage in
bidding for these concessions at 3
conference to be held in the mean
future. People won't back lis Il
they can't get their money" they
said.
The county commissioners are
said to have agreed to advance
some $500 for expenses, but
: balk at the larger figure. Only one
n OF their number was present a

: he did not claim to speak for nol
q to hold the same opinion of Tn,
