Not Over Half of Tobacdo Farmers Have Cast Votes The time (or voting in the to bacco program referendum comee to a cloae in thia county tomor row, reports from the office of the county agent today indicating that hardly more than half the eligible votera had participated in the bal loting. Yesterday, jutt about 1,300 votes had been returned, and all but 4 of that number favored a continuation of a tobacco pro gram similar to the one now in effect. Assistant County Agent M. L. Barnes today again explained that the vote now underway does not in any way obligate the farmer, but waa arranged aolely to get the views and expressions of the farm ers. The lack of interest is expected to reflect itself in the program that agricultural officials will advance after the present control system expires. Should the farmers wish the program discontinued at the close of this marketing season, it is almost certain that the govem nfent will Aispend its activities and willingly allow a return to the old system of producing and mar keting.
