Mr. J. E. Tliigpen. Chief. Mar keting Quota Section of East Central Division, will speak at a Farmers Rally in the Court House at Henderson Saturday. July 13, at 2:00 o'clock. This farm rally is being sponsored by Mr. J. W. Sanders, County Agent in Vance County, and it is planned to serve the farmers of Vance County. Franklin County and other ad joining counties with up-to-date information on the tobacco quota provisions of the Agricultural Ad justment Act. Farmers with or without an Adjustment Program are facing a serious situation and I am sure it is essential that every farmer study the tobacco situation and the marketing quo ta provisions prior to voting in the Referendum Saturday. July 20. FOr this reason I wish to urge every tobacco farmer in Franklin County to attend this meeting and study the situation under the instruction of Mr. Thigpen who is thoroughly fa miliar with the issues involved and the tobacco situation. Reports reaching us from many counties indicate that farmers are showing very little interest in the Referendum that has been called on tobacco quotas for Saturday. July 20. However. Franklin County farmers and businessmen are showing a great Interest in the issues involved and attend ance at meetings held last week was unusually good for the time of year. All farmers in Franklin County are being mailed from this office a copy of Mr. J. B. Huteon's letter giving an outline of the program to be followed in case quotas are in effect. This outline is very brief and every farmer is being urged to study carefully the changes in the pro gram as made by recent amend ments. The Issue Involved In to bacco referendum is one of the biggest Issues that has ever faced tiobacco farmers In Franklin Coun ty and It ,1s hoped that every far mer will study the Issues prior to July 20 and vote bla conviction that an accurate expression of the farmers la Franklin County may be indicated by resnlts of t'hel ballot. Any farmer who will share In proceed! of 1940 tobacco crop will be eligible to vote If registered. Those not registered will be eligible to vote a chal lenged ballot. However, we hope every farmer will avail himself of the opportunity offered to register prior to July 16. Most farmers will be automatically registered from their compliance reports. Regular polling places for Frank lin County will be used during the referendum. Approximately 400 low-lpcome farm families of Crav?n County are expected to file applications under the Federal-State mattress making program, report* Paul M. Cos, assistant farm agent.

Laundered cotton flour, sugar, ? salt, feed or meal bags furnish an ideal material out of which you can make these toys at no cost. They can be staffed with cotton batting or the cotton bag material can be cut into bits for the stuffing. The features of the animals should be embroidered in colored thread. These little animals can be kept clean and fresh as they will stand many tubbings ^Ex tra- cotton bags can be obtained from your neatest baker or de partment store. ?* Other Cotton Bag Sewing ideas are illustrated in a free booklet.
