cial program for her Oakland con-
cert which will be presented on

days spent here we're occupied in

a worthy cause. When she was APP

readily consented to play con-
cert i'll Oakland for the benefit OF
the Moose lodge.
Rev Atwell said that aside from
her lifelong career as a public
performing concert pianist her I'M
usual and flexible talents had been
equally distinguished in the re-
cording world. She has held a top
rating in radio, television and re-
cordings for many years She has
played concertos with the major
symphony orchestras here and
abroad and has played with the
worlds leading chamber music en-
sembles.

Final Date Set
For Requesting
Wheat Allotments

Saturday September l, has been
established as the final date on
which farmers may request wheat
acreage allotments for the crop to
be harvested in 1857 on new wheat
farms, it was announced by II. Rob
ert Dewitt Chairman of the County
Agricultural Sterilization and Con
scrVation Committee. Acreage al
lotmentS have already been estab-
lished for all farms in the county
which were known to have harvest
ed wheat in any one of the years
1854, 1855 and 1856 and these farm
ers have been notified of their
allotment. All farms on which no
wheat was harvested in any one of
these years are classified as new
wheat farms Acreage allotments
are established for new wheat farms
only upon request. Any farmer de-
string to request an acreage allot-
ment should contact the County
ASC office in Oakland not later
than September l.
Dewitt stated that it was impor-
tant for any farmer who plans to
plant more than Is acres of wheat
on one farm TO have an acreage al
lotment. because any one harvest
ing more than this amount without
an allotment large enough to cover
the acreage is subject to penalty
on the excess wheat. Farmers who
plant less than Is acres and have
no allotment would be ineligible
for price support on the wheat, but
under present law, there are no
other penalties in such cases.
