In 1938 we removed control, and op ened the way for states south of j lus to plant all they wished.

Governor closed the ware-! ! houses and ordered a control elation. Of course we voted con trol almost solidly, for we hi»--J learned our lesson in one year. But in this experience we lost 10 percent of our former allotment acres. If we should lose 10 per cent every year control is voted off, we soon would be grea'iy handicapped.

If this j election fails it will affect the | market prospects at once f.,r i buyers will consider it unwise to 'buy up high-priced tobacco arid j store it, when by delaying anotn |er year they may get mucn 1 cheaper tobacco. We canr.ot change the immut able law of supply and derrux'icl j There is no way under the heav •ens to control and sustain living prices unless we control produc tion. If our tobacco prices tal'.j j a sharp "nose dive" and destroy |our financial structure; Mr. W- I er, how will you pay your debts if you are owing any and snv > I j your property; or, if others are i owing you how will you collec* ? and if you are out and desire to get in debt who will extend ercd i it on the strength of growing t - 'bacco? Better give one sober [thought belore shutting your eyes land ears and taking the plun.v.e. IWe havi a worthy control p!, n which is adjustable and workahk* and is the best that has or ever will be designed for taking cue of the problem of tobacco grow ers. It is in the hands of men a! Washington and North Carolina who know how much tobacco stock is on hand; how much is required to fill the needs of trade, and how much should be grown to supply all that is rc : quised, and they can adjust the - acreage accordingly—up or down —and at the same time avoid over production and ruinous prices. . :This is OUR PLAN and the gov- ( ernment is not bossing us as . J.' . ;• -j 1 some would like to have us be lieve, but merely assisting u.s t > enforce OUR PLAN, and but fur this government control feature the plan would go to pieces. \V._- ' I will sell as much tobacco in tin.- ' long run under control plan r.s 1 under wide open plan. This is , i because that only a certain , amount of tobacco can be constim- j ed yearly, which normal times i" j about 775 million pounds, ar. either plan will produce that , amount - one at living prices ar.d , the other at pauper prices. Of , course if wide open much mo: ■ tobacco would be produced an.i sold or given away for a year or HO, then farmers would be BOUSED down proper and forced to give , : it up till the glut was used up, i and that would bury good prices to rise nc more. I If there are those who feel ika'. i they haw not been treated laic- ! ly, plefire don't junk the l n;st s; s- ' ten! ever devised for our tobai... J interest but strive to stay wit'i . it. It may be a misur. i'. rstan!inj. • It may be that someone handling the allotment of acres has ac l . tual!y been unfair either ignor i antlv or because he is unworthy i to have tiie job. I have no res- j 1 peet or apology for any man in \ such position who would mis treat any farmer, black or white, i i * i • for prejudice, or religious or po i litical reasons, or in order to give f PUBLISHED THURSDAt* "| a relative or friend the advaofc age.. is , r .
