acres of rice 77,154 acres of to
bacco and 12,076,011 acres of
wheat, including winter wheat.
These figures are not yet final
because of the fact that some
counties have two lists;
one; Farmers who could not
sign because the county alloca
tion of funds was exhausted, and
two: Farmers who desired to
out more acres in the acreage re
serve than the initial fam' limit
Tor each of the crops.
- Until farmers on these lists are
signed up, the figures wilL con
tinue to increase, the USOA says. -
The department estimates that
it will be mid-March before the
final figures on cotton and tobac
co are in, and near the end of the
month for other crops.

For Witchweed
Farmer representatives from
eight counties in North Carolina

weed has been found, went on
record as favoring a Federal
quarantine against this recently
discovered pest of corn and other
crops fit a public hearing called
by the U. S. Department of Agri
culture in Washington, D. C,
March 5.
About 60 persons, including
farmers, state and USDA pest
control officials and. research
workers, Congressional repre
sentatives, and others interested,
attended the hearing, held in the
DpartmenCs 'South Building.
A committee of eight farmers,
one from each of the affected
counties four in North Caro
lina and four in South Carolina
presented a statement at the
hearing endorsing a Federal
witchweed quarantine in the in
terest of their own and other
states. They urged, however, that

tic weed. Bill Hooks of White

and new Power-Crater en
gine rated at 35 hp plus (man-
rating).
A new roll-shift front axle
which also changes the spac
ing of front wheels for row
widths is now available for the
first time in a tractor. This
combines with power-shift
rear wheels introduced by Al
lis-Chalmers in 1948 so that
all wheel spacings can be
changed without blocks or
jacks.
Among other Allis-Chal
mers “firsts” included in the
new tractor are two-clutch
power control; automatic
Traction Booster; and Snap-
Coupuer hitch.
A brand-new line of “ROLL
IN” quick-hitch cultivators
that can be rolled into posi
tion and quickly put on or re
moved without wrenches has
been designed for the D-14.
These are a part of the com-l

able for this tractor. Adv.
