To be sure, the Christmas iberr undertaking wasn't

been anxious inqu rles from those who occupy, un

ragged end of c.v .ligation, if it can be called civiliza

Special Session Needed
Governor J r B hhr.ngbaus is again on the spot
Th.s t.me the tobacco :armers watch from the side
lines while i-tber- po.nt out the urgent need for a
specod -essein ol the North Carolitj legislature to
pa-.- nece--ary laws that would qualify this State to
partic.pate in unemploymerit in.-urance provisions un
drr the will security act. North Carolma, it fa
est'mated, will lose around two and a half m-Ukm
dollars should it fail to bold a special session of the
legislature and past certain laws twice* January 1 |
qualifying it to participate in the unemployment iund. |
A short crop of tobacco was the result of weather !
conditions this year, but the fact that no efforts were
HLde toward control cost Eastern Carolina fanners
thousands of dollars this year. No ooe knows how
successful those efforts proposed under the compel
I tan would have proven, but at that time the only
open was through a special session of the legislature.
Independent dealers wouid have paid more for tobac
co this year had there been a promise of cootrol for
the neat crop.
Now the state stands to lose $2,500,000 if a special
scss on is not held and certain laws passed. Remem
ber ng the fiery action of the governor earlier th's
r - :-r *:r opinion that no sp r at ses- on of th
? rt< - iju ? ak ng body ? il t* field to save a mere
two and a hal m.llion dollars.
It the gather ng of the legislature is so dangecou-,
then why hold a session next January?
Hr- jnenm; iwvti d d r e pi am to the satrsfart O '
< u.oi farners who he reluwd to call a special

. .n upport h - ccmrse when he acts or fails to a t
r. t e need of a special session now.
Preparing for Another Crop

j-1 led- mil be attempted with few except ons,
? e ? teaming l i-t season that the crops' transplant
d it: m beds prepired late did not do as well as those
lant- grown in old beds.
I arr er- in this county, with few exceptions, are
gi> -n favor of sin* type of control for the crop
l ist x a-in Much has twen said about control, but
o tar nut one th ng has been accomplished toward
:.j- rod And the prediction just now is that a large

Tc ore type of control will be handed the fanner, but
tlr tews n to believe that the fanner as an
irdivldual and fanners as a group will cooperate in
>n eti -rt to in-tire themselves aga.nst a bumper crop

I -n* type of control is not advanced, every
