!
Smokes folks along with
representative tobacco growers
from five states comprising the
Flue-Cured Belt assembled in a
mass meeting in Raleigh on Mon
day, after hearing the Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace and
Chief Tobacco Section John R
Hutson, discuss the AAA pro
gram and the basis for increasing
the crop to 85% in 1935, voted
unanimously to thank the
government for its aid to to
bacco growers and to endorse
the administration plans for tho
coming year.
I
Wallace told growers in the!
mass meeting in Raleigh why'
the AAA felt it wise to produce.
F}ue-Cured tobacco sufficient to
supply the domestic and foreign
trade. He stated that the tobacco
farmers of North Carolina are
better off than any other group
in America and cautioned them
against a governmental created
r.:onoply at the expenses of the
public. The Secretary made a fine
impression on the thousands who
gathered to hear him and there
is no question but that everyone
went away with a clearer under
standing of the government'.?
i
purpose to establish a fair re
turn for everyone.
NO BLANKS YET
The application blanks in
■which there is considerable in
terest to be used in filing ap
plications for tax-exempt allot
ments have not been received i.i
the office of the County Agent,
and in view of the fact that tho
form which will be used has
again been changed, these
blanks are not expected before
the 2nd Monday in March.
CONTRACT SIGNERS MAY |
HAVE ALLOTMENTS
RAISED
Any contract-signer whose al
"loted pounds are too low for his,
allotted acres may apply to tho!
county committee for an increase'
in pounds. The committee i
authorized to use 3% of tho
County's base poundage with
-which to take care of requests
of this kind. However, it should
i
be borne in mind that where in
creases in either acreage or'
poundage is made the grower is
rendered ineligible for any rent- !
al or benefit payments under tho
contract.
Where growers request that
their poundage be increased to
bring the figures up to where
the production allotment will be
in proportion to the acreage al
lotted under their contract, and
the request is granted the grow- j
ers automatically surrender their
rental and equalizing payments. '
TRANSFERS WILL NOT BE j
ALLOWED
"Look to the pounds," will be
n good slogan this year. It is
stated that growers will not bo
permitted to either purchase or (
Borrow their neighbors allotment (

cards with which to
cards with which to sell theii
tobacco in 1935 and a good plai
will be set as a production go-i
only the allotted pounds pro
vided the pounds are not out ol
proportion to the acres. If »i
grower is allotted five acres- an.i
3200 pounds under his contract
and he realizes that he can pro
duce SOO pounds of tobacco U:
the acre, it will be to his in
terest to plant only four acres
even though he is allotted five
acres.
On the other hand if a growei
is allotted live acres and 6400
pounds and realizes that he pro
duces only 800 pounds to th
acre it will be his business to
reduce the poundage in his con
tract because figures so much
out of proportion would not gain
for him anything. He will be
neither able to sell his surplus
poundage to his neighbor nor t
realize in any other way upon i*.
BETTER APPLY FOR
PRODUCTION' LOANS
Some of the allotment cards
are still out and the prospects
are that the equalizing payments
will not be here for at least 30
or 60 days. Where farmers need
production Credit it will be well
to place an application for a
loan now. This may be repaid
when the tobacco checks arrive.
Last year the farmers in this
section through their own Pro
duction Credit Association loan
ed several thousand dollars and
collected every cent of it. In
the flourse of a few years this
Association with continued suc
cess and increased membership
will be in position to supply its
members with all necessary pro
duction credit from its own or
ganization. Those who line ui
with the Association now will be
able to establish a credit rating
which will later prove beneficial
and to have a part in develop
ing an organization through
which considerable good can be
rendered to the people as a
whole.

When You Come To
Town
Don't forget that the Danbury
Reporter's new quarters are in
the Joyce eld slore building
right on the corner below the
Taylor old hotel.
You come here and don't
come to see lis leaving behind
some substantial remembrance,
and you are out of luck as well
as we. You miss that sweet
solace of conscience which comes:
from a duty well done, while we
are short on that cordial ex
pression of good will and
practical encouragement which
is necessary to the continued
prosecution of our interesting but
sometimes disheartening service.
Now you will, won't you?
