File Now For
Premeasurement
Farmers Advised
Cherokee County cotton growers
can arrange for official measure-
ment of their 1954 farm cotton-
acreage allotments prior to plant-
ing time, the County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Committee announced this week.
To get the premeasurement ser-
vice, which is being provided on a
cost basis, a cotton farmer must
file a written request with the
county ASC office prior to March
1, 1955, says Mr. J. M. Vining,
committee chairman. The rate to
be charged for the service in Che-
rokee County has been established
at $7.00 per farm plus $2.00 for
each additional plot over one plot,
and payment based on this rate
must be made at the time the re-
quest for measurement is filed.
"The premeasurement is purely
optional," says Mr. Vining, "and
is offered as a service to growers
who prefer to have an official
measurement to use as a planting
guide." The chairman explains
that all cotton acreage in the coun-
ty will be measured as soon as
possible after the ootton "Comes
up" to determine compliance with
the acreage allotment - marketing
quota program. When compliance
is checked, the farm will be con
sidered to be within the farm ac
reage allotment if the crop is
planted within the premeasured
area.
Mrs. Everett Wallace was host-
ess to the Ponta W. H. D. Club
January 20. Seventeen ladies were
present with Mrs. S. H. Bobbitt
in charge of the program.
Mrs. Wallace gave a very inter-
esting demonstration on less ten-
der cuts of meat. She cooked a rib
roast, and beef hearts.
The next meeting will be Feb-
ruary 3, in the home of Mrs. Roy
Banks.
Sheriff's Life
"Humorized" In
Talk Recently
Some folks may think that a
Sheriff has a fairly easy time of
it. Well, a Sheriff now days must
be a man of vision and ambition,
a before and after dinner speaker,
a night owl, and a day hawk.
He must work all night and ap-
pear strictly fresh the next day,
learn to sleep on his feet, but not
on his desk.
He must be able to entertain
without becoming too boisterous,
drive through snow twelve feet
deep at ten below zero, and work
all summer without perspiring.
He must be a man's man, a la-
dies' man, a model husband, a fa-
therly father, a devoted son-in-
law, a good provider, a plutocrat,
a Democrat. Republican, a new
dealer, an old dealer and a fast
dealer.
He must be a safety promotion
credit manager, corres-
He must visit his constituents in j
hospitals as well as in jails, be'
ever willing to eat or drink, and j
always pick up the check.
He must be an expert driver,
talker, liar, dancer, traveler,
bridge player, poker hound, torea-
dor, golfer, diplomat, financier,
capitalist, and philanthropist, an
authority on chemistry, psycholo-
gy meteorology, criminology, and
have a knowledge of civil engi-
neering, safety engineering, chem-
ical engineering, electrical engi-
neering, mechanical engineering,
and just plain engineering.
He must also have the curiosity
of a cat, the tenacity of a bull dog,
the determination of a taxi driv-
er, the diplomacy of a wayward
husband, the patience of a self-
sacrificing wife, the enthusiasm of
a jitterbug, t h e simplicity of a
jackass, and the assurance of a
college boy.
That's all it takes to be a good
Sheriff.

Wright, Supt. Police, Baltimore &
Ohio R. R., before the NSA con-
ference.)
