BALLOTS PlQTftlBUTED
Measuring Sivorrisors Are
Distributing Ballots To
Contract Signers
Ballots on which growers may
..cast their votes In the flui»-cured
tobacco referendum are being
distributed to farm agents In the
tobacco counties.
Th« question at Issue Is whe
ther the growers wish to have
the tobacco adjustment program
continued in the future. The
present program is due to expire
with the 1936 crop.
E. Y. Floyd, of State College,
announced that all share-tenants,
share - croppers, renters, and
landowners who are actually en
gaged In the production of flue-
cured tobacco are ellglbl® to vote
in the referendum, regardless of
whether they have signed ad
justment contracts.
When the county agents have
received' the ballots, they will
distribute them among the grow
ers, Floyd said. The growers
may sign the ballots and return
them to the county agent’s office
any time before 7 p. m. on June
29.
Or if a grower wishes to vote
an unsigned ballot, he may do
so by delivering it to the coun
ty agent in person on or before
June 29.
If the program Is continued, a
few minor changes may be made,
but it will be essentially the
same as at present, Floyd point
ed out.
The future program contem
plates the adjustment of produc
tion to consumption, with bene
fit payments which would tend
to equalize any difference there
might be between the market ■
price and a fair parity price.
Claude T. Hall, of Woodsdale,
chairman of the tobacco grow
ers’ state advisory committee,
has predicted that the referen
dum will roll up a heavy vote
for continuance of the control
program.
Speaking for Wilkes county,
A. G. Hendren. county farm
agent, stated today that voting
may be done at any time be
tween now and June 29 or on
that date but emphasized the
fact that all ballots may be in
his office not later than the
evening of the 29th.
Ballots on which growers may
vote are being distributed by
those who are supervising the
measuring of tobacco acreage on
the farms of contract signers.
The ballot may be marked and
sent into the office ot Mr. Hen
dren and any who do not receive
ballots should call at his office
and cast their votes according to
their own desires and beliefs.
Measuring ot the present crop
acreage is now in full sway and
any who have more tobacco acre
age than their contracts call
for will be notified of how much
to plow up as soon as the mea
suring is finished.

Cooatjr Wo^ Have Te Pay
Oadjr 55 Per Cent of Cost ow
PnMie WotkB Funds
An architect from the firm ot
BentoTn A Benton, of Wilson,
has ^n Inspecting Wilkes eoun-
ty school balldlngs In company
with C. B. Eller, county super
intendent of schools, tn order to
make estimates on cost ot new
buildings and additions.
- This work is in preparation for
making application to the Public
^rks Administration for a
loan and grant with which to
carry on a necessary program ot
school building In several com
munities In (he county.
The need for new buildings
at Mulberry, Millers Creek,
Mountain View, Cllngman an)l
Benham Is apparent, according
to school authorities, and addi
tions are needed at WllkesborOi
Mount Pleasant, Roaring River,
Ronda and Lincoln Heights. It
is necessary that an architect
draw plans before much head
way can he made toward obtain
ing a loan and grant from the
Public Works Administration.
Under the new PWA the Pub
lic Works Administration fur
nishes all funds for the comple
tion of a project, 45 per cent
grant and 65 per cent In bonds
over a period of 20 years at an
Interest rate of only four per
cent.
For example, should $100,000
he obtained for school buildings
the county would have to pay
back in bonds $65,000 and In
terest at the rate of four per
cent. This sum is suggested as
an illustration and the propor
tion to be paid In bonds would
be the same oa.A leap and-AFant
of any substantial size.
