Tobacco Growers
Will Vote July 12
Flue-cured tobacco growers
realize that foreign trade must
be maintained if a fair price is to
be realized for toblacco above
normal domestic requirements
according to information from
the State Department of Agricult
ure.
To what extent this will be
maintained will be largely deter
mined July 12, when flue-cured
tobacco growers of the Carolinas
decide whether they will vote
upon themselves an annual asses-
ment of 10 cents per acre of to
bacco acreage for the years 1947,
1948, and 1949.
If two-thirds or more of -the
tobacco farmers vote in favor of
the assessment plan, the money
v/ill be collected on the warehouse
floors according to the method,
rules, and regulations as deter
mined by the board of directors
of the Tobacco Association, Inc.
When the money is collected, it
will be paid to the treasurer of
the association and used along
with funds from other sources
for the purpose of stimulating,
developing, and expanding export
trade of flue-c.ured tobacco.
Difficulties have been exper
ienced for some time in main
taining export outlets for flue-
cured tobacco. Because of the sit
uation in foreign countries and
the need for a program to protect
producers, the farm organizations
warehousemen!, tobacco leaf
eriporters, bankers, merchants,
fertilizers manufacturers and
dealers, as well as other farm and
business leaders in flue-cured to
bacco producing states took the
responsibility of organizing the
Tobacco Association, Inc. The
organization was financed the
first year by tobacco farmers and
allied interest making voluntary-
contributions.
Since it is to the public interest
that the farmers engage in grow
ing flue-cured tobacco may have
an opportunity and privilege to
join together in raising reasonable
and necessary funds to promote
export trade of flue-cured to
bacco, authority for the referen
dum was approved by 1947 sess
ion of North Carolina and South
Carolina General Assemblies.

Supply For This Season
We respectfully submit the following suggestions
which we believe will be of great benefit to all
concerned.
Your Cooperation Will

Be Appreciated
1- Increase the storage capacity of youri fuel
tanks as there is a possibility of a fuel short
age in the near future.

rangements as soon as you conveniently can.
