THE DANBURY REPORTER. VOLUME XXXIX. TO POOL THE CROP BIG MEETING AT WINSTON Of Union People Passes Important Resolution —To Decrease Acreage In 1911 Winston-Salem, Jan. 13.—Al though not officially given out, it is reliably stated tonight that r the tobacco growers of the State, . in session here today, passed a \ I resolution calling upon the grow ls ers, to pool the 1911 cropf upon the plan of the burley growers of Kentucky. The resolution also calls for the establishment of a dry prizery to facilitate the handling of the crop. A second resolution was passed, it is said by which the growers agree to decrease the . acreage of the 1911 crop. This \l resolution was followed by a re- V fusal to enter into any arrange ment to offer prizes for the larg est yields per acre, because the principle of offering prizes for in creased yields is in direct oppo sition to the movement for de creased acreage.

Shuford of Newton, Catawba county, chair man of the executive committee were among the prominent mem bers present.

PETREE, County Agent F. C. D. Work. Taxes Being Paid at Slow Rate. It is said that the people have not been so slow in paying their taxes for quite a while as they are this year. Scarcely more than one-tenth of the total taxes have been paid at this writing, Jan. 18th. One cause for fnis is probablv the fact that a majority of the farmers have not marketed their tobacco. On account of the short seasons they have been unable to strip much of the weed. The public school teachers will soon finish their schools and will want their money and various other ex penses of the county must be met, and the people should pay as soon as possible. Sheriff Jones will begin his third round next Monday for the collection of the 1910 taxes. Be prepared for him. , Apron Party. Perch, N. C., Jan. 13. —Mrs. Geo.
