A referendum on continuance of ;he plan under the provisions of he Kerr-Smith act will be conducted next month, Dean I. O. Schaub of State College announced following he meeting. The referendum is required by the jrovisions of the Kerr-Smith act, md in it the producers will decide vhether a tax will be levied again n 1935'on sales of tobacco grown by aroducers not operating under the icreage reduction contracts, and if >o, what its rate will be. Five States were represented In he gathering at State College at vhich J. B. Hutson, Chief of the Tojacco Section of the AAA, and I. O. Schaub of the College led the dis :ussions. The referendum may be conducted jy mail or county agents may make rersonal contacts with each signtr )f the Kerr-Smith act. E. Y. Floyd )f State College is chairman of the sxecutive committee, which func;ions :in an advisory capacity lor forth Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia. Strong For Plan With dissenters silent if present, farmers and their representatives voiced their enthusiastic approval of ;he tobacco acreage control plan and suggestions for its continuance. After considerable discussion, the growers voted to ask the agricultural idministration to extend the contacts now in existence to cover a five-year period and adopted a mo ;ion by C. T.Hall, president or the Morth Carolina Tobacco Growers' Advisory Board, providing that J. B. Hutsoia, chief of the AAA tobacco section, be empowered to adjust the jrogrsim to changing conditions from time to time. In the afternoon the executive ;ommittee agreed on the sponsorng of the extension. It has not, however, been definitely decided as to vhat years the five-year extension will cover and until a more comDlete summary of the growers' opinions is available, it will not be iecided as to whether the five years will .include 1934 and 1935, the two pears; now under contract, or whether the period will begin at the expiration of the present contracts. One of the meeting's two chief problems had been the length of the jxtension. Some representatives felt that five years was too long, due to the inevitability of changing times. Mr. Hall's motion apparently settled (Continued on Page 8) TAL KEYHOLES TON SILVER you divert your highway funds we will penalize you thirty per cent of your federal aid road money. North Carolina is to get about $3,000,000 per year in federal aid money during the next biennium and if the diversion is continued the State will lose a million bucks through penalties each year. Which means a loss of $2,000,000 in highway construction that can be obtained if the one million iron men taken from motorists are used on roads and your Uncle Sam comes across with the full allocation for this State. BIG LOSS?The estimated value of exhibits lost when the east wing of the main building at the State Fairgrounds burned is not a drop In the bucket to what they were really worth. The display of mounted game and birds loaned for the fair by C. N. Mease, Mount Mitchell forest warden, was the result of fourteen years' hard work and it will take that long to collecc others to replace those lost in the fire. Rare specimens of insects and other life in North Carolina cannot be easily replaced although they bore no great monetary value. GOOD STORY?Former Governor O.

Rodwell this week submits the following article prepared by Wickes Wamboldt: "There is no more disheartening feeling than the belief that your country does not appreciate a aauifice that you have made for it. Nothing so discourages, so depresses a man as the stark realization that ' although he has given his best, per[haps his all> to help his nation, and 'to benefit his fellow countrymen, his efforts are not appreciated or J have been forgotten.

Debtors Fail To Seek Home Loans "Hard-pressed property owners in Warren county don't seem to be taking advantage of the relief which is offered through the Home Owners' Loan Corporation," Gilbert Scott, appraiser, commented tnis week, "The people in this county are in good financial condition or either don't know that they can save their mortgaged homes through this organization," Mr. Scott reasoned, adding that the number of application received so far from people in this county don't begin to compare with the applications which have been made in other counties of the state. The Home Owners' Loan Corporation loans up to 80 per cent of the appraised value of the property upon which application is made tor a loan, Mr. Scott stated. Mr. Scott was named appraises for the corporation several weeks ago. Prior to the appointment of Mr. Scott, this work was being looked after by Harry Fishel of Vaughan.

MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 42 (vers Honor tan John Kerr Hold Public Rally At School And Barbecue At Warehouse Thursday TOBACCO CHIEF IS HERE Congressman John H. Kerr was honor guest at ft public rally at the school auditorium Thursday afternoon and at a barbecue at Boyd's Warehouse following the speaking as an expression of appreciation for his work in obtaining increased tobacco prices. The entertainment was sponsored by tobacco farmers and warehousemen. About four hundred persons, mostly farmers, were present at the auditorium. A hundred or more additional guests were present at the cue. Present to tell about the tobacco program and to pay honor to Judge Kerr were J. B. Hutson, chief of the Tobacco division of the AAA, of Washington, D. C.; J. C. Lanier of Greenville, tobacco code administrator; and E. Y. Floyd of tobacco division of the state extension service, Raleigh. J. Edward Rooker, Sr. veteran warehouseman of Warrenton, acted as master of ceremonies. Following invocation by the Rev. O. I. Hinson, Methodist minister, Mr. Rooker extended a welcome to those present in behalf of the. town and in behalf of the Warrenton Tobacco Board of Trade. He praised the work of Bob Bright, county agent, and to his corps of assistants and in introducing Judge Kerr later in the afternoon paid liim a most eloquent tribute. Mr. Hutson said in prefacing his remarks that his duties were very pressing and that he did not have the time to come to Warrenton, but that he came Dezause ne nuu wuruu with Congressman Kerr in Washington on the tobacco program and wanted to be present in his honor. It is probable that tobacco growers will be allowed to Increase the production of tobacco in the bright belt next year 1;o the" extent of ttp- '-"M proximately 100 000,000 pounds provided the growers vote to continue their curtailment program and provided further that there is no decrease in consumption, Mr. Hutson said. Telling of the part that the curtailment program was playing in the price being paid for tobacco, he said that the growers of the bright belt in 1934 would receive 1150,000,AAA * moo rvrai'Q UUU lUr Uieir Ui jlom vaatj nv?.w (paid $120,000,00(1; and in 1932 they only received $43,000,000. Prefacing his remarks about tile 100,000,000 pounds probable increase for next year, Mr. Hutson said that in 1933 production was about 100,000,000 pounds greater than consumption and :in 1934 it was approximately 100,000,000 less than consumption. Ed Turner, chairman of the county tobacco committee, said that it was the intention of the committee to honor Bob Bright for his work among the tobacco farmers Jointly with Congressman Kerr, but that the committee was remiss and that Mr. Bright had to do practically all the work in getting up the entertainment, driving his car all over the county for the past two days making arrangements. He expresised his regret that the work should have fallen to i;he agent, thus preventing him from being honoi*ed upon this occasion. "I am ashamed of this," Mr. Turner said. "It ought not to have happened." 1M> Tumor flvnrosspH his thanks | for assistance rendered and said that he wanted to especially than* the Warrenton warehousemen who contributed so liberally towards the cost of the barbecue.
