Last week end was the Eighth
Annual Ohio Folk Festival in CO.
iumbus and our All Junior lead
ers were well represented with
five participating in the training
sessions Saturday morning and
afternoon. Those attending were
Jeaneen Ball, Grace Brumbach
Kay Heddleson, Arlene Hender-
son, and Barbara King. The
same group stayed for the dance
Saturday night and was joined
by Mary Jane Thomas. From
what the girls told me l gathered
that they had fine time. They
also said that it would have been
a lot better if there had been
some boys along.

vote for marketing quota refer
endum Thursday, April % from
800 a. m. to 500 o'clock. The

1t was released by Chairman
William H. Archer, of the ASC
committee for Noble county that

Burley growers voting in this
referendum April %, approve
the quotas on the new basis,
quotas for Burley tobacco pro-
dueed in 1855 viii be in effect
and price supports will be avail
able at 80 percent of parity to
those producers who do not ex-
ceed their farm tobacco acreage
allotments.
If more than one-third of the
Burley growers voting in this

Barn Tour Enjoyed
Bv County Aqenis

After they had practically
decided to build the proposed
fourth club show rooms and
exhibit hall at the Noble county
fairgrounds from the blueprints
of that constructed at Old Wash

the county extension office
decided they had better look
around and perhaps gain better
ioeas.
With this in mind, Agent
Floyd Henderson and Paul jon
ard, L. E. Hedge, Dale Hedge
and Ladd Wheeler took off last
Thursday and enjoyed a barn
tour at GAINESVILLE, Lancaster
and Chillicothe.
All these ideas will now be
combined and eventually it is
believed that blue prints will
be drawn up and definite plans
announced for the construction,

Zach minister has until April
Is, 1857 to file an affidavit request
ing coverage; however, if he wants
credit for his 1855 earnings, he
must file his affidavit by April 15
1856. Once an affidavit is filed, the
minister must continue under so
