' PLANNING ISN'T NEW .
THE way a lot of people are talking these days, you'd
think planning is something new.
But anybody who's ever run a farm or a factory knows
that if you don't plan, you can't get the most out of
what you have to work with.
Co plan properly, the farmer has to kpoV about crops,
soils, seasons, tools, and stock; and the man operating a
factory has to know about machines, markets, science,
and tiio'.neering.
Yel. for all this specialized knowledge which each of
these activities requires, the manager# of both farm and
factory have much in common in their planning. They
have the same problems—to mention a few —of em
ployment and taxes, of costs and a fair profit, of setting
aside reserves for* "rainy day.''
*>And they have the same objective in their planning
—to do everything they can for their country today,
and, tomorrow, to make a fair living through greater
•ervice to their fellow American*. General Electric Cam-,

Folger Urges Growers \
To Adopt Quota Plan
In Referendum I |
Asserting that "we cannot at'- j
I ford to open the door in tobacco
production to people who think
they can go into it successfully,
I but whose efforts will only servo
to disrupt the program and re
duce the price to be paid for to-' *
ibacco," Rep. John H. Folger rcc-j®
ently urged growers to adopt the
tobacco quota plan in the referer.- E
dum among farmers which will
be held July 24.
Folger spoke at a called meet- ;
ing of agricultural and civic lead- j
ers of the State to consider pian i j
for an educational campaign on
tobacco quotas.
j E. Y. Floyd, of the Extension
Division of N. C State College, j e
was named chairman of a steering g
committee which will push the
$
campaign for an affirmative voto I
on the quota plan in all sections t
| of the State. 1
Folger said that passage of the 1
plan would guarantee a fair price 
for tobacco next year and that it
would prevent farmers turnir -j
away from the production of es
! sential food crops in order to' ui
i
crease their leaf acreage.
I Dean O. I. Schaub of the r?itc-
College Extension Service, who
presided over the meeting, saM
\ that control of tobacco acre tuo
! I
| for the next three years was neo •
cssary. He described the meeting
as the "most important for North
Carolina farmers since marketing
: 1 •
quotas were first discussed in
1 1933."
Governor Broughton, in a mes
sage to the conference, urged
adoption of the quota plan, as
serting that he was "backing it
100 per cent."
The Governor will speak in be
half of the program on a State
wide radio hook-up at 9:30 p. r:.,

INDUSTRY must continue to ex
