vorably. The first yam re- ;
ferendum was held in 1961 and
92 per cent of the voters cast

ducers' self-help promotional
program.

No More Climbing In
Torrid, Dusty Barns
Farm Bureau News
On* day last summer, a boy
banging tobacco In a barn on
Raymond Johnson's farm near
Morrlsville tangled with a nest
of hornets In the topof the barn.
The boy fell, but luckily another
boy, hanging tobacco below him,
broke his fall.
That near-tragedy Is one ol
the things back of the "no
cltmb" barn that Mr. Johnson
has In operation this summer.
Just one, because there are
many other advantages to the
mechanized hanging In the new
barn.
When Mr. Johnson built his
new barn this year, he rigged
It up with loose tier poles
and an electrically operated
system for raising tobacco on
the poles. His brother-in-law,
Carl Rowe, who's a carpentry
foreman with a Raleigh con
struction firm, designed the
system.
Here are the things Mr. John
so n and his family like about
the new hanging system:
1?It saves money. With the
new system, It takes four hours
to fill a barn compared to five
the old, climbing way.
2?It eleminates the hot, dusty
and hard work of climbing In
the barn to hang tobacco and to
bring It down.
3?One man and a crew ol
women and children can hand
le all the hanging.
4?Tiers don't have to be nail
ed Into the framework of the
barn.
5?Hanging tobacco Is com
pletely safe.
The Rowe system Is not ex
actly new, since several barns
In the state have been set up
for automatic ralslngoftobaccc
sticks. But it's simple enougt
so that It could be Installed
In a great many of the 150,001
conventional tobacco barns lr
North Carolina.
"I believe the raising could
be done with the power take
off on a tractor," says Mr.
Johnson. "You might even set
up a system with a hand-operat
ed winch."
Mr. Johnson put about $150
into the automatic system. Of
the total, $80 went for the motor,
which Is new. A used motor
could work Just as well. But
even with a $150 outlay, he
figures hell recover his initial
Investment in five years.

venson said he went to Orr's
Service Station upon hearing the
shots and that Vaughan andCap
ps drove to where the rifle
was being fired, and where they
found Rufus Ballentlne with the
rifle In his hands.
Stevenson said that Rufus
Ballentlne admitted that he fired
the shots.

vote may be cast by either part
ner, and corporation's vote may
be cast by an authorized officer
of the corporation.
Because of the vital part that
the ASC community and county
committees play In the farming
affairs of the county, Smiley
said, It Is important that each
farmer give serious considera
tion to the men elected to these
posts. "It Is highly desirable,"
he said, "that the committee
men be currently active farm
ers who are best qualified for
the committee work and who will
be representatives of the var
ious sections and types of agri
culture in the community."
