Grain Signup In
Advanced Stage

The signup Of Prince Edward
county farmers under the 1862
feed grain program is now well
underway. according to Thomas
G. Xix. chairman of the Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Con-
servation Committee. The pro-
gram covers corn and grain
sorghum in Virginia.
Applications have alrea
been filed for 1876 farms for a
total. diverted acreage of 1146.
The advance payments COM
puted for the farms in the
county total $14,822.
March 30 Deadline
The signup period will extend
through March 80 for the pro-
gram which will be operated al
most like the 1861 feed grain
program.
The detectives Of the current
program are the same as last
year; namely, to increase farm
income. to further reduce the
excess feed grain stocks, to re-
duce government costs of farm
programs. to reduce the risk Of
serious overproduction of meat
poultry, and dairy products. and
to assure consumers of fair and
stable prices for these products.
All producers of corn and
grain sorghum are eligible to
take part in the feed grain pro-
gram, which calls for the diver
sion Of acreage formerly plant
ed to one or more of these
crops into an approved soil-con-
serving use.
Voluntary Program
The program is voluntary, but
program participation by farm
ers who produce these feed
grain crops is required if they
want to be eligible for price
support ON their feed grain
crops, including oats and rye.
For corn and grain sorghum
there must be a minimum re-
duction Of 20 per cent from the
farms 1e59-6O average acreage
Of these crops and the producer
must not exceed the FARMS bar

State Courts Public Schooling
Interpretation Expected Monday

The Virginia Supreme Court
OF Appeals is expected to render
decision Monday on a petition
which asks the Court to order
reopening of the Prince Edward
county public schools because
the petitioners contend. the Vir-
mia Constitution makes public
education mandatory.
The States highest court took
the petition for writ of man
damus entered in September,
1861. by the Rev. l.. F.. Griffin
and his elementary school age
son. L. f. Griffin, Jr.. Under
study early last month after
hearing legal arguments by at
torneys
The petition names the county
board of supervisors as respon-
dent, or the body to which the
court is asked TO issue its legal
directive. It contends the super
vlsors are frustrating and cir
cunlyentlng desegregation or
ders of federal courts by their
refusal to appropriate funds for
public schooling aud thereby de-
nying public education to Ne
grOeS.
Sections Cited
The petition cites Sections 1873
and l56 Of the Virginia Consti-
tuition as authority for the Su-
prene Court to require the
county board to end its non
apprOpriating actions.
Section 1919 reads: The Gen
eral Assembly Shall establish
and maintain an efficient sys-
tenn of public free schools
throughout the State
Section 1876 designates the
board of supervisors as the
agency for the leyying and col
lection of such local school
taxes as may be imposed to
supplement state funds. Attor-
neys for the petitioners claim
Section 1856 is mandatory: at
torneys for the board contend it
is pernissive only. Board attor-
news also contend Section 1919
does not direct itself ocountieS.
Attorneys on both sides have
not indicated in any way what
decision they expect the first of
next week. Generally. however,

to bring a legal answer. for the
