MOST OF THE NEWS THE TIME _ ? : NUMBER 8 FARMERS VOTE" ON MARCH 12TH Growers To Determine Fate Of New Agricultural Crop Control Bill 'NEEDS TWO-TEIIRD VOTE Tobacco and cotton farmers of Warren county will go to the polls in each township of the county on March 12 and say by the means of ballots whether or i:ot they want the new farm crop control bill that recently passed Congress and was signed a few days ago by President Roosevelt. The announcement of the referendum on the bill was made last Friday after a meeting in Raleigh of some 5,000 farmers from North and South Carolina and Virginia who heard Senator Pope of Idaho and J B. Hutson, assistant administrator of the AAA, discuss the new bill. Bob Bright, count? agent, said fUnf A tV\ AAA 1 V>rP ttTAlll/1 Kfi Vl AM uiao uiaoo i-iicctnift nuuiu uc uwu in the court house here on March 2 to discuss the 1938 farm bill and that the following days educational meetings will be held in various communities of the county. He said that he thought the farmers of Warren, which is a large tobacco growing county, were in favor of the bill and that they would vote for its adoption in the referendum on March 12. It is understood that a referendum only on cotton and tobacco will be held in the county. The referenda regulations provide for a voting place in each community where cotton, flue-cured or ,3 ? -1, TUa nnlle ucun. uuuawuu axe gxwwxx. xxxe twiw will open not later than 9 a. m. end close at 7 p. m. Each producer who grew cotton, flue-cured or dark tobacco in 1937 will be entitled to cast one vote in the referendum for the commodity. The marketing quotas established under the new act for tobacco will be independent .from the acreage allotments established under the agricultural conservation program and the penalties applicable for sales in excess of the poundage marketing quotas for farms will bear no relation to acreage allotments for farms. However, the average allotments will be such that, under ordinaiy conditions, the production on the allotments will be in line with marketing quotas. The act provides that quotas are to be effective, if not disapproved by more than one-third of producers voting in the referendum, if the supply of any kind of tobacco ex ceeds the reserve supply level- The present supply of flue-cured tobacco exceeds the reserve supply level by approximately 50,000,000 pounds; the supply of fire-cured and dark air-cured tobacco exceeds the reserve supply level by approximately 20,000,000 pounds. PROGRAM IS AN A PTACK ON EROSION OF SOIL The new farm bill, recently enacted Into law, will unloose a doublebarrelled attack on soil losses and crop surpluses, according to E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer it State College. The Agricultural Conservation program, which has already been mapped out and placed before farmers, will be continued along with payments to growers who cary out soil building practices. Included In the new Act are provisions designed to control surpluses of tobacco, cctton, wheat, rice, and corn. Through the control of bumper croiis, It Is expected that farm Income ?dll be Improved. Floyd said. In addition, the net? Act Intends to protect the consumer as well as the farmer. By storing away surplus wheat and then releasing it when necessary, a fairly constant level will be maintained. Also crop Insurance will be provided wheat growers. Under the Agricultural Conservation program, North Carolina's flue1 Q'JQ uuicu tuuav/VAi aui.iwusuv iui w" will be 570,000 to 580,000 acres, while the cotton allotment Is 902,525 acres.

If more than one-third of the farmers vote against the quota, It will not be ^Continued on I age 4)
