COTTON FARMERS URGED TO
RELEASE UNVvAflTED ACRES

Cotton farmers who do not in
tend to plant their full cotton al
lotment in 1862 are urged to re-
lease it to the County ASC Com
mittee. The acreage released can
be planted by other cotton farm
ers who have small allotments.
Cotton planted adds to the farm,
county and state income, also helps
to maintain cotton history for our
farms, Asses officials state.
Under present cotton regulations
farmers who do not plant or re-
lease their cotton acreage will lose
some of their allotment. Some cot
ton must be planted within a three
year period to hold an allotment
on a farm.
Visit the Asses Office before
March %, and release any unwant-
ed cotton acreage, and get details
on the effect of releasing cotton.
Farmers who have small allot-
ments and wish to obtain addition
al acreage for 1862 should also
contact the Asses office and make
their request. No acreage can be
given to farm that does not al
ready have an allotment.

Variety Vacationlanders don't
have to travel far during the winter
months to enjoy the luxury Of a
Spring vacation in New England
village-type surroundings. Sounds
rather odd? Well, perhaps, but the
statement Is, nevertheless, factual.
For in the near-central position of
North Carolina is an area Of glor-
kous sunshine and normally moder-
ate temperature. And here are vii
lagos with the flavor of New
England painting.
These villages are far. enough re-
moved from the seacoast to be free
of dampness and far enough from
the mountains 10 the west to es-
cape the chill bite of winter. The
sandy soil, a sea bottom perhaps a
million or so years ago, readily alb
serbs moisture and thus provides
q low humidity. Add it all together
and you have the villages of Pine
hurst and Southern Pines in the
famous Sandhills region.
Pinehurst was created in 1895 to
serve as q holiday resort and no
thing more. It's New England APP
pearance is something more than
coincidence. It was the brainchild
of James Walker Tufts of Boston
who had been most impressed with
The winter climate. He purchased
thousands Of acres Of then cut
over pine woods and engaged the
services of the great landscape
architect, Frederick Law Olmstead,
to build restful community for
people Of moderate circumstances.
Execution Of the plans resulted in
the planting Of over 100000 trees
and shrubs, many Of them Of a
foreign variety, adjacent to the
roads and paths.
Just down the road from Pine
hurst, and similar in appearance, is
Southern Pines. Today both are
little villages with big regulations.
One is impressed with the many
cottage-style homes and numerous
hotels, sheltered from the winding
lanes by stately long-leaf pines
oaks, huge magnolias, bright-berTi-
ed hollies, dogwood and shrubbery
30 the point that some are barely
visible. Here the tourist can revel
IN many hours of pleasant, relax
ed driving, amidst some Of the pref.
hest scenery Variety Vacationlanc
affords.
What else does this area offel
pleasant viewing?i Well, in citing
a few major attractions, l will men
tion the world-renowned hotels, the
dhampship golf courses, spirited
riding horses, fox hunts, horse
shows, trotting races, tennis, skeet
shooting, fishing, pdcnicking, tally
