to to to to The FARM OBSERVER By Bill Humphries AVERAGE SUPPORT PRICE for the 1958 crop of flue-cured tobacco will be $54.60 per 100 pounds. This is $3.80 higher than the $50.80 average which was! in effect last year. Also, it is considerably higher than the minimum average support price of $54.20 announced this past April. A schedule of price by grades will be announced Farm Calendar officially within the next week TUESDAY. or so.

Representatives from a all Tobacco field day, Lower, Coastal Plain Research Station, segments of the industry met in Greenville. Washington late last week to State 4-H dairy judging condiscuss possible adjustments in test, Raleigh. the schedule. Why is the average support price substantially 1 higher this year than it was in 1957? There are two reasons. First, the parity index-which indicates the average prices paid by farmers, including interest, taxes, and wage rateshas gone up considerably in the past 12 months.

Second, the support average depends partly on average market prices for flue-cured tobacco during the preceding 10 years. Since market average reached an all-time high of $55.40 last year, the average for the past 10 years also has increased. THIS YEAR'S average support price, of course, represents 90 per cent of parity as of July 1. If 90 per cent of parity is $54.60, what would 100 per cent of parity be? The answer: $60.70. AS OF yesterday morning, two cases of "discount" tobacco had been reported in North Carolina for the 1958 season.

State ASC Administrator H. D. Godfrey says one case is in Bladen County and the other in Columbus. Both involve mixed plantings, and both were reported by variety identification specialists. The specialists were trained during the week of June 23 and began work on June 27.

REPORTS indicate that the job of checking compliance with acreage allotments is proceeding more smoothly this summer than in several years. Farmers with excess plantings were given only seven days this year to notify the county ASC office as to what they intended to do about the excess. Apparently this regulation has worked out well, for there have been only a few about it. From Brunswick County, ASC Manager Ralph L. Price reports: "All farms have now been measured and office personnel are rushing to get the last notices 1 in the mail.

Those few farmers who haven't received a notice will receive one within the next few days. We are happy to report that the number of excess farms is much smaller this year." In Greene County, Manager W. A. Hardy says: "Measuring, remeasuring, and witnessing of disposition of excess acreage of all allotted crops for 1958 have been completed. We appreciate the fine spirit of cooperation of all farmers in the county given to the performance reporters and county office in performing this sizable job.

There were fewer excess farms this year than in the past several years." John J. Bailey Edge- ATTENTION Hog Producers Swift Co. Rocky Mount, N. C. (South of Fairgrounds) Daily No Selling Charges Buys Hogs No Waiting COMPARE OUR PRICES ON ALL GRADES BEFORE SELLING.
