Board of directors of Tobacco Associate. , Inc., in special session in Finehurst . today, voted unanimously to call a referendum among some 200,000 ; Hue cured tobacco growers of North : and South Carolina on continuance : Cor another three years (1053-54-55) the 10 cent per acre assessment to promote the. export trade of thdir product, . . . Tobacco Associates, a non-profit organization representing all flue- - cured tobacco interests from the producer to the consumer, has tak- en 'the maintenance of export out ; lets for the flue-cured crop as its I primary goal since its formation ; five years ago. In any normal year 1 more than 40 per cent of all the ;'; flue-cured tobacco produced In the 1 United States Is exported; therefore fry any material reduction in exports v -would create a price-lowering aur r plus. , ; - The date of the referendum was ; sot ?set t today's meeting; how 1 ever, it was pointed out by J. Henry . Vaugban, Elm City, Board Chair 't man, that 'since tobacco grower ' will be asked to vote on the con tinuance of marketing quotas some ' time this summer, preliminary . plans were outlined at today's meet ing to bold the Tobacco Associates referendum on the same date and at the same polling places as the quota referendum is held.' . Having for Its authority Public iLaws approved by the 1051 Sessions of the General Assemblies of the two states, the referendum has been called for every county In the Carolinas where flue-cured tobacco is grown. Growers engaged In the Droduction of thin war's crnn nr any person sharing in the proceeds f the erop are eligible to vote. In, two previous referendums, growers have demonstrated ' their overwhelming approval of the self assessment plan to promote over seas sale of their crop: In 1947 with 117,000 growers voting, 07..6 per cent cast their ballots in favor of the assessment and again In 1949 with 148,000 voting, 97 per cent : "SEED'S FOB i DIAMONDS" .

'Before the" war,' he explained, flue-cured .leaf exports, went to re latively few countries with England by far the largest user and China second. From 1935-39 we, exported an average of 359 million pounds annually (England and China took 261 million pounds or 72.9 per cent; all other countries only 98 million pounds.' $ ' : .wv fti. j:' n't ' 'Since the war, he said, 'we have exported very little tobacco to Chi na and exports to England have been greatly reduced. However, in 1950-atl, our exports averaged; an nually .408 . million ipounds even though zmgland and china reduced their average annual purchases from 281 million in prewar years o 200 miHtoniin 1950-61.

Though well-pleased with the work of Tobacco Associates in de veloping foreign outlets for the golden leaf, Vaughan said, the job remains a continous one.' He said foreign taxation policies, government monopoly practices of many foreign countries, and diffi culties in maintaining satisfactory trade relations between other coun tries and the United States remain major problems. - Vaughan pointed but that the foreign aid program of the United States is being changed to give military rather than economic aid 'Since it is very unlikely that toy funds will be used to purchase such items as tobacco,' he explained that the major problem facing the indus try today is filling the wide gap be tween exports and imports.'

This means, he says, that the pullets will not grow out as they should and the hens will not lay as many eggs as they could if they don't have a constant sup ply of cool water on hot days. One way of having water avail able when needed is to install an automatic system. This saves time and labor and makes the job of caring for chickens easier. If water is available from1 a grav ity or pressure system it can be piped to the pullets on range and TO THE BOARD OF THE PEOPLE OF MY APPRECIATED. lX J--- ' 'J.. A to the hens in the laying house. Another method used by some growers to provide a regular supply of water to pullets on range, is iu have a barrel or drum on skids. a .mieot or float from the barrel or drum will keep water before the pullets If the drum is kept filled. The water can oe Kepi cooi uy painting the drum with aluminum paint or building a sheiier over me drum and water fountain.

Feed consumption by rats ana mice costs the poultry industry many thousand of dollars each year,, say poultry specialists of State Col lege. Poultrymen had about 9 per cent more young chickens on farms April 1 than a year earlier and their laying flocks totaled a little larger. Consequently, egg produc tion through the rest of 1952 pro bably will ru nabove a year earlier and prices will continue below 1951 levels. 4 Atirmtttvm nrlracf ai w w ari v v v Allbtral trafo'fasl tloug, ojy Hrml Phone 3321 hi ii
