TOBACCO PROGRAM - Pre
liminary yields have been com
puted for all farms for the acre
age-poundage tobacco program
which fawner*-will have an
ih e; the -
■ly pa^t sooriAs the
national faCtor'i^delermined,'we
will advise all farmers by an of
ficial notice as to their new al
lotment and poundage quota.
Farmers voting in the referen
dum must vote in favor of the
new program by at least a two-
thirds majority in order for the
program to be in effect for 1965.
The program provides that if
a tobacco producer does not pro
duce his total poundage quota for
one year, the unused poundage
will be added to the quota estab
lished for the farm for the next
year and the acreage allotment
will also be increased by a cor
responding amount. This is true
even though the poundage quota
is the result of tobacco being
leased and transferred during
1965.
The maximum carryover from
one year to the next is 100 per
cent of the quota established for
the farm. A producer may also
overmarket his quota for 1965 in
an amount up to 10 per cent of
his total quota. This overmar
keting will go through regular
trade channels but the amount
will be deducted from the quota
established on the farm on the
following year.
A county wide meeting will be
held prior to the referendum
and all tobacco producers will
be invited to attend in order that
full program provisions may be
explained.
FEDERAL CROP INSURANCE
REMINDER - The Northampton
County office of the Federal Crop
Insurance Corporation has an
nounced that April 30 is the
deadline for farmers to make ap
plication for crop insurance on
their crops for 1965, Those who
are interested should contact the
office on or before this date.
Farmers are also urged to give
a report of their insured acres
to the county office representa
tive as soon as possible. Almost
three - fourths of the insured
farmers in the county have al
ready given a report.
1964 MEAT IMPORTS DOWN-
The Department of Agriculture
has recently announced that the
meat imports to theUnitedStates
for 1964 were down 29 per cent
below the 1963 level. This re
duction is in line with legisla
tion enacted last August as a
means of reducing meat imports
to the United States. As the
amount of imports were reduced
below the 1963 level, it was not
necessary to invoke meat im
port quotas.
ACP - Requests for cost-share
assistance under the Agricul
tural Conservation Program have
been rather small duringthepast
several weeks. Now is an excel
lent time, however, for farmers
to be making plans to seed some
type of vegetative cover on feed

JACKSON - Marshall Grant,
of Garysburg, president of the
Northampton County Farm Bu
reau, todayurged local leaf farm
ers to give a resounding vote of
approval to acreage - poundage
controls in the May 4 flue-cur
ed tobacco referendum.
Grant described the acreage-
poundage measure as “a posi
tive solution to many of the ma
jor problems facing tobacco to
day.”
The plan will be submitted to
eligible growers as an alterna
tive to the present acreage con
trol program. A two-thirds ma
jority of those voting will be re
quired to carry the referendum.
The Farm Bureau leader said
that “the most pressing prob
lem” plaguing the industry is an
excess of tobacco, which has
swollen the Inventory of the Flue-
Cured TobaccoCooperatlveStab-
illzation Corporation to almost
one billion pounds.
“It’s obvious that our acreage
program is not doing the job any
more,’’ he said. “We have to
make a change now to a program
which will effectively keep sup
ply in line with demand. Con
gress knows that we are not liv
ing up to our part of the bargain
when we keep price supports but
continue to grow too much to
bacco. We have an opportunity
now to get our house in order.’ ’
Grant also cited the leaf qual
ity problem, which, he said, “is
brought on to a large degree by
the practices we use to produce
high yields. Take the Incentive off
high yields and we’ll grow the
good tobacco we’re capable of
producing.’’
The resulting improvement In
quality, the local farm leader
noted, would be expected tobring
about a rise in the U. S. share of
foreign market trade.
“We also have the plight of
the small farmer to consider,”
said Grant. “We have already
been told that we face another
big acreage cut in 1966 if we
stay with the present program.
Small growers can’t stayinbusi
ness if we keep losing acreage.”
Grant said that the acreage-
poundage program would remedy
this situation. Under the plan,
growers would be allowed to plant
a 1965 acreage total amounting
to about 95% of the 1964 acreage
allotment. With the present pro
gram, farmers face a 19.55 per
cent acreage slash for 1965, and
a further cut In 1966.
“If farmers have the facts,
we’ll carry this referendum,”
said Grant. “We have to if grow
ing tobacco is going to remain
a profitable business.
“It seems we farmers are
forever facing crises In our farm
programs. This is just one more
that must be faced if we are to
expect the support of the ever
growing number of big city legis
lators who must appropriate the
money we need to operate our
programs on. Let’s not fall in
our responsibilities,” Grant con
cluded.

ested farmers should contact the
county office for details concern

Soil
Conservation
Notes
By JOHN B. LITCHFIELD
Soil Conservation Service
A conservation plan for his
farm was delivered to E, D. Ed
wards, of Severn, last week. The
plan was worked out in coopera
tion with the Northampton Soil
and Water Conservation District.
The program of conservation
farming set up in the plan is de
signed to be carried out over a
period of several years. The
practices to be used were se
lected to fit the needs and capa
bilities of the land.
Field borders have been seed
ed to tall fescue to provide pro
tected turn rows. Drain tile had
been installed to take care of
some of the wet spots. More is
planned to be put in later.
Parallel terraces will be used
to give protection to sloping land.
They will be suppi emented by
contour cultivation, grassed wa
terways and a cropping system
that includes tall fescue.
Laurie J. 'Vann, of Conway, re
cently installed 1550 feet of drain
tile on his farm. This was a step
in carrying out the'conservation
plan he worked out in cooperation
with the district several years
ago.
ACP cost-sharing helped with
the total cost of installing the
tile.
Braxton Ricks, of Conway, has
staked 2300 feet of parallel ter
races as one of his farms. These
will replace old gradient type
terraces that are too crooked for
his farm equipment to operate
on satisfactorily.
The field where the terraces
are to be built is out of produc
tion this year - in theFeedGrain
Program. He will use his farm
equipment to level the old ter
races and build the new ones.
Richard McGee, of Severn, in
stalled 3500 feet of tile this
spring as part of his conservation
program. He has scheduled tile to
go in each year until the job of
draining the wet spots is com
pleted.
He says he has gotten excellent
results with peanuts following tall
fescue in the rotation. The deep
rooted fescue plants help open the
subsoil so that tile can operate
more effectively.
J. O. Baird, of Gaston, is
building more than nineteen
thousand feet of parallel terraces
this spring. He is using his own
heavy earth moving equipment to
do the necessary land shaping
and build the terraces.
