ton. Wayne explained, an acre
age allotment was determined
for the commercial corn area
each year except in time of
emergency. Compliance with the
farm acreage allotment for corn
was REQUIRED in order to qualify
for corn price support.
For 1856, however, producers
in commercial corn counties
could qualify for the full price
support either by complying
with the farm corn acreage AL
Iotment or with Soil Bank corn
base acreage requirements.

If more than one-third of the
votes approve corn acreage al

will be in effect for 1857 only:

AS the hunting season opened
on Thanksgiving Day. a number
OF hunting parties went out all
over the state, and / have no
doubt that the birds and the
rabbits were badly frightened.
Back in the old days, it was
different. The Durham Sun in
March, 1896, reported tina,
hunting rabbits appears to be
good business in Alamance. One
man is said to have killed 60 in
a days hunt, carried them to
town and busted the corner on
the chicken market"
1t also reported that T. E.
Cranwell and F l.. Tatum re-
turned from a hunt at Flat river
with 40 birds, II rabbits, seven
squirrel, one hawk. one big owl
a crow, and jay bird, adding
the gentlemen did not consider

The hunting bug never infect

Maj. Gen. Julian Smith, U. S
M. C., sent me a couple of ducks

what to do with them: therefore
II was a distressing present. The

would believe my connections

day l began wondering to whom

But | decided to try my hand
at hunting, although my expert

The only game laws l knew
were those published in the

plain citizens must be shot
from January / to December 81
Senators, governors and
members of congress may be
shot during any political cam
paign and within so days there
after.
"A Lawyers collecting bills
and houSc-to-houSe hawkers
may be shot at any time. Hunt
ers in search for this game are
also allowed to use a setuffeo
hub or butcher knife.
Yankee colonies may be shot
with impunity at any time, while
a squirrel gun is recommended
for diSpatching majors and cap
tains.
If any man is caught drink

empty guns occasionally did
such wonderful things. Finally
we were off.
What fun! Tramping over
