Raleigh. NT. C ? Another topaoeo
sign-up to limit tobacco growing for
for another two years in North Carolina.
as weVi as in other states, is
being urged by Govern o; "mr.gha.us.
w no last weed wire a 4. xi. tnuson,
chief ol' the tobacco section of the
AAA, urging that the sign-up be conducted
at the time -f the referendum
to be conducted probably the second
week in December c-n the continuation
ox the Kerr-Smith tobacco control act,
effective the past year.
Governor Ehringhmts talked last
week with Mr. Hutscn and followed
up his plea by telegrajn. telling of Ihe
unanimous and insistent approval of
control at the Fa raw i lit meeting a
few weeks ago. He urges that Mr.
Hutson not wait for authority from
Congress, since the sign-up last year
was made and the authority given
later. Now, while the growers arc elated
over the success of the first year's ;
control results, in tiit proper time
for the sign-up, Governor Eh; ingcaus .
urges, saying we have everything (
to win and nothing to lose" by it. ,
A referendum on the Kerr-Smith!;
act will he conducts! no*, later than;"
December loth, and i is believe i that. ^
the sign-up should be conducted at
the same time. AL*\ the reiorenduirj
on the Bankheab cotton control act ,
is to be conducted on Friday. December
14. and it is possible tha- the to- .
baeco referendum wiii be held at the :'
same lime, as there are many conn- i
ties in which 'xjH; tojiieee urei cotton J

cialS report The November collections
are practically all in and only a few ,
hundred dollars tvill be added by the '
end oi the month. Even the "double
month" collections of April, 1933,
amounted to Si.62",000, or about $25.000
less than the present month's col- 1
lections. That was the month in which
the 1933 legislative act, moving up
collections one raonth, was effective, !
and collections were made of practically
two months in that month. )1
License plates for 193-1 reached j
463.043. or 60.754 more than the 407.- '
289 sold in 1933 to the same date, the
end of last week. This is due to the
very great increase in the sales of
new automobiles during the past 3ev- c
era! months, many cf them being for t
only three-fourths, or one-half, or one- j 1
fourth of the year. The i?ytal plate t
sales will not go much high r than i
the present figure, as new 1935 plates (
may be bough i December 1, but may f
not be used until December 15

it is said by those close to

of resignation by someone with

not at this time. While operation

many tanners have drifted into the
castof letting: their horses and
mules shift for themselves. The rations
are limited and the quality of

season, is usual! v bad, indigestible,

This cnodition is aggravated by advanced
age. poor teeth, and less efficient
digestive tracts, found in many
animals. Improper feed Is a serious
matter for old horses and mules. Abrupt
changes of feed, overeating, and
careless treatment often prove fatal.
Horses are less able than cattle
to withstand the effects of bad feed.
The horse or mule fills an important
place "ii the farm, especially in
these days of crop adjustments, Grinnei'Ls
says, and it will pay farmers to
take bettor care of their work stock.

Answer; Thus xfaethod of stimulating
production is being used with success
in many parts ot the eountryThc
