"Until these cars car. be sold, it is
i impossible for dealers to handle a

ness." he explained "This means
that factories will be forced to con
tinue on part-time, and thousands
of men in the motor car plants and
in allied industries must remain
either out-of-work or on part tune
schedules."
The primary purpose of the cam
paign he said, is to make known to
prospective owners the remarkable
used car values which now are be
ing offered by automobile dealers
in all parts of the United States.
"The present situation has result
ed in the best used car values in
the country's history We are con

H Hostetler. professor of animal
husbandry at State College
There has been a marked increase

ers have become to depend less on

Sidelights on the New
1938 Agriculture Bill
"How many acres can I plant?"
a the question thousands of North
Carolina cotton and tobacco grow
ers are asking their county agents
this tune The answer can be
given only after the referendum on
March 12 and after county quotas
have been subdivided
If cotton and tobacco farmers
want control of their two crops, they
can impose this control upon them
selves by their own secret votes.
Control will not be imposed from
without Every farmer should
study the new farm bill and vote as
he thinks best.
North Carolina tobacco growers
have a "franchise" for about 70 per
cent of the flue-cured tobacco to be
produced in the nation. Whether
they will retain this franchise will
dtp* isd on ballots cast on March 12.
Dean 1 O Schaub says extension
workers have no personal
in the outcome of the ref
on March 12 except to see
that farmers are informed about the
farm btli and vote their own per

says, the extension service is vitally

Small Grower Aided
Under 18 Farm Act
?k*? smxll farmer a "break
is' one of the purposes of the new
farm act. according to E Y. Floyd.
AAA executive officer at Slate
College ?
Provisions lor larger payments to
? operators of small farms who coop
' erate in the agricultural conserva
tion program, a part of the act, have i
been provided Growers who would i
earn less than $200 under the regu-1
lar rates will have their payments
increased this year.
The following scale will be usedj
when conservation payment are be
ing made
if payment is not more than $20,
the total payment will be increased
to per cent, payments of *20 to $40
w ill be increased $8 plus 20 per
cent of the amount over $20, pay
ment of $40 to $60 will be increased
$12 plus 10 per cent the amount ov
er $40. payments of $<0 to $186 will
be increased $14; and payments of
$186 to $200 will be increased $200.
This scaling upward of the small
er payments will be a first charge
against funds available for pay
ments. Floyd declared
Farmers who take part in the
AAA program this year will qual
ify for payments by staying within
their soil-depleting crop acreage al
lotments and by measuring up to
their sotl-building goals.
The new act. in the main, merely
adds to the present agricultural
conservation program by providing
for acreage allotments, marketing
quotas when producers desire them
and crop loans
If the cotton-tobacco referenda
passes March 12. larger growers
will receive steeper acreage cuts
than wil lthe smaller farmers. Floyd
pointed out.
