RECEIVE BENEFIT PAY

RULES ABOUT THE TOBAC
CO CONTRACTS—THE FARM
ERS CONVENTION TIME
10 PLANT FALL GARDENS.
To the Farmers:
Application for marketing cards
are coming ir- rapidly, the field
supervisors have made a good
start Ir- surveying tobacco fields
and growers who had failed to
■wgn acreage reduction contracts
during the winter and spring
are getting their names
on the dotted line.
Everyone should get a clear
understanding relative to making
applications for marketing cards.
First, growers should sign their
names and give their contract
numbers on the application. Sec
ond, cards are needed only in
cases where more than one per
son is to sell tobacco under the
contract. Third, it is well enough
to get the application for mark
eting cards in this office at an
-early date but the cards cannot
be issued until after the farms
are surveyed and certified.
Fourth, when only one card to
market under a contract is desir
ed, no application for card need
be made as this will be issued
anyway.
Saturday Day For Making
Contracts.
Tobacco growers to receive the
benefit payments such as rentals
and equalizing fees must sign
acreage reduction contracts dur

growers in making their con
vided growers call upon the com
mitteemen. To make these con

regular reductions in their acre
age and production which pro
vides that the grower reduce his
three year base and production
by not more than thirty per cent. :
Those who are unwilling or are
. inable to make these reductions
in the same manner in which
those did who signed early in the
year, should not apply for the
regular reduction contracts.
i
Allotments o' Men Without Base.
As announced sometime ago,
the county committee will give
allotments to tobacco growers
wh 0 have recently come into
possession of farms on which to
bacco has not been grown during
the past three years and to those
i
who for any reason are unable to
sign the regular contract. These
allotments to be distributed by
the committee will provide that
the growers, either landlords or
tenants, will be able to sell small
crops of tobacco tax-exempt. No
rentals or equalizing payments
can be made under thin plan, but
