Zone new feature that has

you build it new.

Improvement. The participation
in forestry practices doubled for
1862 and is expected to be. even
greater this year. These Y rrac-
tees consist Of clearing, poison

Farmers who are interested in
forestry practices should contact

1868 Feed-Graln Program, adj
ministered by the Asses. This
program pays farmers for re-
ducing their production Of corn,
barley or grain sorghum. Base
acreages and payment rates will
be mailed to all feed grain pro
ducers within the next two
weeks. The sign-up for this pro

through March %.
Last year the ACP program in

Too Many Cars
At Fire Scene
Chief Warns

Fire Chief Phillip Gay today
warned citizens that unless more
consideration was given the fire
department in the future he
would be forced to ask as. ist-
ance from the sheriff and police
department in controlling traf-
fic problems in the vicinity of
fires.
The warning came after a
couple Of instances within the
past few weeks. at which time
fire trucks and members of the
fire department were detained
in their efforts to reach fires
by spectators vehicles, which
blocked thoroughfares to the To-
cation of the fires.
We are trying to be reason
able about the situation bu t
lately things have been getting
out of hand. Cars have been
lining streets On both sides for
block or more where fires are
and at times the fire trucks and
firemen have been delayed sew
eral minutes simply because
they couldn't get through. Fire
can cause a lot of damage in
just a few minutes Gay said.
If spectators would park a
block or two away from t h E
fires and get their vehicles off
the roads, there would be no
trouble If the situation con
tinues, we are going to ask the
police department to give tickets
to those who won't comply"

Tobacco Volume Decreases.
Bulk OF Crop Has Been Sold

Fall Short OF
Expected Weight

Volume on the Farmville dark
fired tobacco markets last week
was the lowest for any full week
of auctions during the current
season and the outlook is
for continued low volume, low
and fair quality offerings, and
prices that correspond.
Farmville's three warehouses
last week sold 402 300 lbs. of
dark-fired tobacco for Sl45 1888 SO
which is an average of S36l3
per hundledweight. In addition
to the dark leaf, 25,620 lbs. of
sun-cured tobacco were sold for
s. ,097 02, averaging S2770
For the season the Farmvllle
markets are slightly behind last
year. So far this year, the Farm
vile warehouses have sold a to-
tai of 3,l28, 700 lbs. OZARK and
sun-cmed leaf, for ST .205 1913.
Last year at this point the rec
ord showed 1898 1874 lbs. for
$l.3l2, 322.
Considerable doubt is being
expressed in Farmville that the
estimated crop of 1888 900
pounds for the Old Belt market
will be met. That is the official
estimate of the U. S. Crop Re
porting Board. Last year the
total was 1O.0O5 1868 pounds for
the Old Belts three markets in
F willie, Blackstone and
Lynchburg.

Bclt-Wide, the sales last week,
including resales, totaled LIN
778 pounds, averaging $37.l6.
For the season through Jan. IL,
7,690.3l8 pounds have been sold,
averaging $39.68. Last week S
average Of S37.l6 was a drop of
$2.65 from the Jan. 40 return.

Homer Russell, the Kotzebue Cab owner, and his taxi driver took a trip here from Kotzebue on the 24th of November. Homer drove his cab here to visit his dad and friends. NOOrvik was his home before he went into business in Kotzebue. The rather amazing part of this story is the fact that the trip was made without ben eft of any roads. The entire trip was on bay and river ice. It is the first time that an automobile has been in the village. Some of the people said it was the first time they had ever seen a car.
 The Noorvik Community Com- cil met in October and selected a group of young people to work as a Medical Fund Drive Con- mittee. This committee, which the Council selected with the aid ot the Principal Teacher, decided to have a movie each Friday. This committee also sells refreshments and popcorn.
