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

Very small children love their
K>ft, cuddley animal toys. They
:an grasp them and hang onto them
nuch easier than the sturdier and
neavier toys. 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
