Those Stokes county people

the burden of supporting the
aged and helpless was about to
be turned turned back on the
county, are invited to read the
following:
"I want to tell you here and
now that the federal government
has no intention of turning the
relief problem back to the local
units and has no intention what
ever of liquidating its relief pro
gram."
These words came out of
Washington yesterday, were in
spired by Franklin D. Roosevelt
and were spoken by Harry L.
Hopkins, works progress ad
ministrator.

ner, associate director of the in

TOBACCO GRADING I
ORDERED IN KY.
WAREHOUSEMEN IN NORTH
CAROLINA SEEKING BY IN-j
JUNCTION TO STOP FED-1
ERAL GRADING CROP IN
STOKES HALF SOLD —,
PRICES ON SOME MARKETS'
HIGH, OTHERS DRAGGING, i
A dispatch from Washington
says while some of the ware
housemen in ttorth Carolina arc
seeking by injunction proceedings i
to stop federal grading, tobacco
inspection and market news ser
vice have been ordered by the:
>
acting secretary of agriculture |
for four tobacco markets in the!
burley district of Kentucky.
A referendum was conducted by
the bureau of agricultural eco-'
nomics during the week Novem-1
•
,ber 2-6 to ascertain the senti- 1 .
' ment of tobacco growers who sell
J tobacco at Mt. Sterling, Cynthia-!
na, Horse Cave and Bowling.
Green on the question of having]
free and mandatory inspection of!
tobacco offered for sales on those |
'markets. The results of the!
'referendum have been tabulated'
and show that of the growers j
I voting, approximately 96 per |
cent favored the service. j
| Action in selecting inspectors
is under way, the bureau says,,
jand several men will be in the
field before the end of Novem-,
ber conducting tobacco sorting
demonstrations among growers
I
as a move toward the better pre
|
paration of tobacco for market.
The department at Washington
I further explained: "Tobacco
price reports are a necessary ad
junct to tobacco inspection ser
vice. The object of the in
spections is to inform the grower
the grade of the tobacco he has
on the warehouse floor. The
price reports show him the cur
rent average prices for the
various grades. Taken together,
these two afford the grower a
means of guarding against er
rors in the sale which might
otherwise result in tobacco goin.;
at unreasonably low prices and
consequent loss to the farmer.
"Under the law no charge can
be made for either the inspection
service or tobacco price reports.
The service is furnished free and
is intended for the information
of growers and others concerned.
No restriction is placed on any
grower as to the time or place he
shall sell his tobacco."
The crop is nearing the latter
end of sales in North Carolina.
In Stokes County the crop is
probably more than half sold.
Good grades are still bringing
good prices on 9. me n arkets. On
others the price appears to drag
