VKllMtle grocer of North Wil-
toaboro, and two of hU clerks,
Bruce Dearman and Richard Min
ton, were f%ed here Thorsday in
a 'itoclal h’earlng in tJ. S. district
eenn on chargee that they had
.failed to make complete reports
•( sugar sales, as required under
toe 'federal alcohol control sta-
tates.
Pearson, member of the firm
•of Pearson Brothers, was fined
1600 and was placed on probation
lor 12 months. The two clerks
were fined $100 each and put on
probation for 18 months. Each
of the three pleaded nolo conten-
dre.
Agents of the alcohol tax unit
reported 2,000,000 pounds of
sugar sales not properly reported
by the firm, and that a large
anantHy of such sales were made
to another firm at Mountain
View.
In imposing sentence Judge
Johnson J. Hayes called attention
to the close tie-up that often ex
ists between sales of sugar in
hulk and the operations of illicit
dlstlllerlee.
""Dearman admitted that various
sales had not been properly re
ported but he said it was over
sight and not an intention to
“protect’’ customers.

Growers To Ballot
On Tobacco Quotas
Faced with a market situation
more serious than that of 1930-
32, flue-cured tobacco growers of
North Carolina and other South
ern states will go to the polls July
20 to vote on a three-year con
trol plan.
Recent amendments to the quo
ta provisions of the AAA program
have authorized this referendum,
which, if voted on favorably by
a two-thirds or more majority,
would set up quotas on the 1941,
1942, and 1943 crops. Hereto
fore, growers have voted on only
their next crop.
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive of
ficer of N. C. State College, said
any loan arrangements to sup
port the market will depend upon
a decision by growers to regulate
marketings. A majority vote a-
gainst quotas would automatical
ly eliminate any government
loans.
If quotas are voted for three
years, the AAA executive officer
explained, domestic manufactur
ers can pay fair prices for their
tobacco without fear of excessive
production during the period.
Then, too, the export trade will
be more likely to make purchas
es at reasonable prices, and the
government can give maximum
support to prices for the export
grades.
Probably the greatest factor in
the present distressed situation
is the 19 39 crop, which was
grown without regard to allot
ments. Flinging caution to the
winds, growers barned a 1,160,-
000,000-pound crop, 34 percent
higher than the previous record
crop of 1937. The result was a
400.000. 000-pound surplus.
The second reason, and per
haps almost as great as the over
production factor, was the loss of
or the seriously curtailed ibrelgn
markets as a' result of the pres
ent European conflict. Coming to
gether, the two dragged price:
down to an average of 14.8 cents
a pound for the season. Tiie prev
ious five-year average was 22i9
cents.
In response to the British :i(ov-
ernment’s campaign for increased
home food production, more^tiian
2.000. 000 acres of graselai^-have
been plowed up and are now‘be
ing planted to food crops. .
