—Only , •;! nmering hope for the
quick lament which last week
seemed so promising remained to
day as • North Carolina Senate
dug in' %”1 phases of its con
siderate he revenue bill.
Withi - - space of five legis
lative rme a,szfiflHRDLD
lative determine bloc of
“individ i • in the upper house
laid do barrage of amend
ments o :b. tax measure that
seemed c rU.u to throw it into a
joint conference committee and
nullify to a large extent the time
saving Accomplished by the house
steamroller that shoved it through
the junior body virtually untouch
ed.
Chief target of the Senate amend
ment-introducers was the sales tax.
First, tne house conceived levy on
sales of building materials to con
tractors was removed—and with it
$1,500,000 of revenue which must
either be found elsewhere or lopped
off the /appropriations list, which
the Senate has yet to consider.
Then the Senators began to ques
tion exe/mptions granted by the
committee which framed the bill,
and strolng arguments were pre
sented iri favor of a two per cent
exempticfiless levy.
Visitors to the Senate gallery last
Friday h[eard the Democratic cam
paign pledge to remove the sales
tax froml food and “necessities of
life” termed a mistake, and heard
appeals tihat it be disregarded. Fi
nally, after a day-long session,
the senio r lawmakers set the reve
nue bill for special order today
and took a breathing spell by con
sidering other less controversial
matters at their short Saturday
session.
The house meanwhile continued
to mop up its secondary calendar
and waii. for the Senate to finish
up with the tax and appropriations
bills. Tine administration highway
reorganisation measure was pre
sented a: id sent to committee.
Last w eek brought also to North
Carolina a chance for legal liquor
on a sta tewide basis for the first
time in 28 years. The conference
eommittt e on the county option
liquor bi 11 reported it out with a
few char iges in the Senate amend
ments, a nd both houses promptly
accepted the committee report,
making t :he measure law.
Under its provisions, all counties
which do not now have legal liquor
under th e 1935 law may hold elec
tions to determine county senti
ment on the liquor question. If the
county v otes wet, liquor stores will
be set up under county liquor
boards, which will in turn be su
pervised by a state control agency.

Rockingham county must wait,
for the law provides that only one
election on liquor may be held
within a county in a three-year pe
riod, and Rockingham voted dry in
1935. Counties where liquor is now
sold legally are not required to call
another election. Their liquor
stores and present setups simply
will be transferred to the new set
up and go under state control.
The Assembly last week voted to
spend one day in session at Eden
ton, historical town within throw
ing distance of the Atlantic and
background for much of North
Carolina's colonial history. Gov
ernor Hoey will accompany the
lawmakers on their trip.
Have You Tried
the better-balanced fertilizer
for BRIGHT TOBACCO?
^om.2 fjatmetl nevet Inour what a fine
crop of bright tobacco their land will produce be
cause they never try using enough NV POTASH.
Tobacco removes from the soil more potash than
both nitrogen and phosphoric acid combined. Yet
it very often receives the same low-potash fer
tilizer year after year. When yields and quality
suffer, many things are blamed, when this is often
simply due to potash starvation.
Are you sure your bright tobacco gets enough
NV POTASH? Many farmers have been content
with low-potash fertilizers until they tried using
3-8-8 MADE WITH NV POTASH. They found
that the small extra cost of the extra potash in
3-8-8 was their best-paying fertilizer investment,
returning greatly increased yields of better qual
ity tobacco.
Full-grained, high-quality tobacco gives more
pounds than thin, tissue-paper leaf or light
trashy leaf. When you produce 1,000 pounds of
tobacco per acre, an extra cent per pound due to
extra quality will pay the extra cost of 3-8-8
many times over.
It costs little to try 3-8-8 TOBACCO FER
TILIZER. Usually only about six pounds of
average tobacco per acre will pay the difference
between 1,000 pounds of 3-8-8 and 1,000 pounds
of 3-8-5. Farmers who try 3-8-8 keep on using it
because it costs little and pays big!
I
Your fertilizer man knows the importance of
plenty of potash in tobacco fertilizer. That’s why
he has 3-8-8 on sale. Tell him you want to try
using more NV POTASH this year. Tell him you
want 3-8-8 TOBACCO FERTILIZER MADE
WITH NV POTASH—the mixture that con
tains so much extra-profit-producing plantfooc
at such low extra cost. Your tobacco will th
you with YIELDS+QUALITY.
