Engineers are vital to our col-

Hunt County cotton farmers i
were reminded today that the

reapportioned cotton acreage
getting close.
The reminder that March 3 is
the final date for the farmer to
take action came in a letter from
the ASC office to all cotton pro-
ducers in the county.
The letter pointed out that it
was important that the farmer i
release any part of the 1965 cot-
ton allotment he did not intend
to plant.
The releasing of this acreage
i will maintain the. same history
credit for the farm as if it were

It will also enable the county
