THE DANBUItY ItKI'OKTER TOBACCO CO-OPS TO VOTE MAY 8 Now Direct*•••* F ; - Pivldtms— Growers To Fat" Crisis In Danville May 1 (). , Raleigh, May Members of the Tob:sc.o Growers Co-operative As sociation in three >t\lc". have been mailed ball its for the coming ole tiun of directors and " ill vote on Saturday, May S, in th • (•lection of a managing board to guide the as sociation in its fifth ;>.nd last year of operation. Much importance is attached to election of directors for the tobacco association in its last year because of the difficult problems which will face the management. Expanses of the association have been cut to the bone by the releasing of its district and local field service nten, all dis- i . trict and local graders and all ware j house employes with the exception 'of district men for the purpose of. handling \he physical, property of 1 the association. I The question of receiving the ltt2'>. crop is being left to the decision of ' the board of directors to be elect '1 ( by the delegates for whom the mem jbers will cast ballots at the countv seats of all important tobacco coun- j ties in the Carolinas and Virginia i jthis week. j The ballots which are now in the j hands of the members must be cast. by noon of May 8 at the county' seat of every tobacco growing coun- J ; ty or mailed so as to reach the elec- * i tion conintittoe of each ,county at the court house before noon of that. i day, to be effective in this election The delegates who are elected by th • balloting of May S will meet at' I designated places in each of the 22 | electoral districts of the association j .on May 15 to elect the directors | from their districts.

As soon as detail of roadmen have completed their survey of that stretch of road, they will then start from Ridgeway and work to Martinsville, for the purpose of surveying a right-of-way for the early completion of a permanent road hetween these two points. Last year a corps of engineers lo cated the right-of way for the new road from Fieldale into Rocky Mount, which .signified the linten tion of the highway denartment f o consider that piece of road soon, when more appropriations are to be made. So far as can be learned there if not a farmer in the enniy who lias planted any tobacco so p ("ants are small yet. REAL ESTATE WANTED— There are buyers H all parts of the country.
