USE OF TRACTOR

Specialists Say Machines
Can Be, More Widely
Used On Farm
Can the farm tractor com

Maybe not, but modern pow

much wider use than at pres

says the agricultural engineer

And to provide its point, thi
department recently took to the

Surviving, in addition to her
parents, are two brothers, Ray

farmers the latest mechanical
equipment used In cotton and
corn production.
Using a five-acre demonstra
tion field in each of the coun
ties selected, the department
will utilize tractors and other
machinery In planting and cul
tivating row crops Each field
will be visited two weeks after
planting for the first demon
stration in mechanized cultiva
tion.
In announcing the demon
strations, J. C. Ferguson, exten
sion specialist in agricultural
engineering, said North Caro
lina farmers are now operating
approximately 35,000 farm trac
tors, but of this number prob
ably not more than 20 per cent
are being used for planting and
cultivating row crops.
"Less than one tractor In
every 10 is being utllzed in all
of its capacities, as evldenceo
by the fact that workstock U
still maintained on the major

power," Mr. Ferguson said.
The demonstrations will con

vations, on schedule, until the
crops; are laid by in mid-sum

Even with reasonable care,. a new typewriter

if you should use one only half that time, the

A DISTINGUISHED RECORD
OF LEADERSHIP
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF TO THE FARMERS
OF NORTH CAROLINA
FORMER GOVERNOR
J. MELVILLE BROUGHTON
/
CANDIDATE FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE
I ~
As Governor, Legislator and Public Servant, Former Governor Broughton Took An Active Part in the
Accomplishment of These Progressive Measures for the Farmer:
J Former Governor Broughton has been engaged actively in farming for over twenty-five' years and is
" Himself a flue-cured tobacco grower. v
Mr. Broughton has been active in securing better prices for tobacco. In October, 1943, While he was
Governor when the price for tobacco collapsed, he declared a marketing holiday and kept the mar
kets closed until he was successful in working out plans for better prices ahd a stabilized market. In
1945 he personally appeared before officials of the Office of Price Administration insisting on an increase
in the ceiling price for tobacco. The increase was granted which meant more than 10 million dollars to
the growers of tobacco. In 1946 he appeared before the proper government agencies insisting that ceil
ing prices and allocations on tobacco be abolished. This was done and meant millions of dollars to the
growers.
<2 He has long been a member of the Farm Bureau and State Grange and has probably spoken to more
farmers in farm meetings than any person in the State; He delivered one of the principal addresses at
the annual meeting of the National Grange at Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1944. He appeared on the
program of the National Farm Bureau meeting at San Francisco in December, 1946.
#
A Mr. Broughton was instrumental in establishing the Flue-Cured Tobacco Stabilization Corporation
" which has meant many trillions of dollars in increased income to farmers. He prepared the charter
and by-laws for this organization and has worked closely with the organization since its establishment.
B Mr. Broughton in 1947 drafted the legislation authorizing the establishment of Tobacco Associates, Inc.,
and prepared the charter and by-laws for the organization. Tobacco Associates is proving to be of great
benefit to tobacco growers in the European Recovery Program and the continuation of satisfactory Fed
eral farm legislation for tobacco.
?
g Mr. Broughton has been actively connected with the dairy industry of the State. While he was Gov
ernor he approved the program and prbcured the allocation of funds to set up at State College the best
dairy equipment for institutional purposes to be found in any institution of the South.
wj Mr. Broughton has shown great interest in other agricultural crops produced in North Carolina, such
? ? " as cotton, peanuts, and fruits and vegetables. He collaborated with State Marketing Specialists in draft
ing the Commodity Referendum Act passed by the 1947 General Assembly under which farmers may act
jointly with dealers and processors in promoting the sale, distribution and consumption of farm prod
ucts. At the present time he is advocating the establishment of processing plants for Irish potatoes to
place potato-growing on a sounder and more profitable basis in North Carolina.
