Farmers Urged To
Vote Next Tuesday
Raleigh ? Urging every eli
gible farmer to vote in referen
dum! to be held on April 9,
Agriculture Commissioner L. Y.
Ballentine said a large vote will
do more than assure continua
tion of important self -assess
ment programs.
"It will demonstrate the pride
of Tarheel farmers in (heir pro
gressive State, the first to
afford farmers the legislative
means for acting jointly to pro
mote their own business wel
fare," he said.
"As farm investments and i
farm production cesti have in
creased, farmers have come ta
realise that if they are to con
tinue in the business of V**
ducing, they must also be in the
business of sellinf. And though
farm production costs are high,
they do not compare with the
cost of advertising and promo- i
tion. In our highly competitive
economy, with so many types of
expensive promotion competing 1
for the consumer's attention, the '
individual farmer haa no means '
for waging an effective promo- ,
tional program alone. But very i
modest contributions pooled
with those of other lumen pro
ducing the same commodities
add up to sums (adequate (or
vary effective selling programs."
