ESTABLISHED 1899 Wallace Plans To Call For Tobacco i Control Vote Soon Dute for Holding Kcfcrcn ?Iiiin Has Not Ibcn Defi nitely Mentioned With .a record-breaking tobacco crop now moving to market, and fearful basic prices will tumble. Unit ed States Department of Agriculture officials yesterday took the first steps to hold a referendum for production control in 1940. but no possible date for holding the vote was mentioned. The action of Secretary Wallace was received with no marked interest, those close to the agricultural sit uation considering it as a step mere ly to have arrangements completed in ample time for holding the refer endum two or three months from now A story, released under a Wash ington dateline, yesterday brought forth some interesting comment, but the general opinion was that no ref erendum would be called in the im mediate future and certainly hot until after eastern North Carolina farmers get a taste of 1939 prices on their home markets The story reads in part, as follows The Secretary ordered the Agri cultural Adjustment Administration" to arrange for a referendum among tobacco growers on marketing quo tas. Two-thirds of the growers of flue-cured leaf must approve the marketing restriction and penalties before they become operative. A similar attempt by Wallace to impose marketing controls this sea son on last year's crop failed when only 56 8 per cent of the growers vo(ted favorably, less than the re quired two-thirds. Under terms of tin Farm Act the Secretary must proclaim marketing quotas whenever supplies of a ma farm crop exceed certain reserve levels Then a farmer referendum must be conducted Although Wallace has not yet offi cially proclaimed the tobacco ipiotas and has until Dec 1 to do so. the AAA announced that this year's large crop "apparently will bring supplies to a level requiring proc lamation of a quota " - No dale for the referendum w as" fixed The government crop report this month estimated a flue cured tobac co crop of 1,028.000.000 pounds, com pared with an estimated world eon sumption level for American flue cured of about 750,000.000 pounds. If the tobacco sales restrictions are approved by two-thirds of the growers eligible to vote, marketing of tobacco in excess of quotas would bring a penalty of 10 cents a pound. Will Keep Tab On Leaf Price Trend In the event tobacco prices show a downward trend following the opening of the markets next week. Plans for holding an immediate ref erendum were virtually abandoned following the successful opening of the markets a short time ago Under the rulings of the Agricultural Ad ministration act, the Department of Agriculture secretary us expected to call a referendum on control on No votnbeT 15 for the 1040-crop. Naming committeesTh all the to* bacco-producing counties this week, the Farm Bureau president is di recting them to keep a close watch on thp tobacco price averages with the view of taking action for a ref erendum immediate ly if the prices range downward Messrs. C. A Hob erson, J R Winslow and S. T. Ever ett. prominent leade rs in the Martin Farm Bureau Federation, have been named on the committee in this county to observe the sales daily and report the price trends. Cotton Carryover Was 13,032,611 Hales The census bureau reported this week the cotton carry-over at the beginning of the cotton year 1939 40, on August 1, was 13.032.611 run ning bales?the largest quantity of cotton held at this time of the year in the history of government statis tics. A cotton crop of 11,412.000 bales this year was forecast earlier this month by the agriculture depart ment. That will be added to the car ry-over to make up the year's sup ply- ' ? There was a carry-over of 11,533, 439 bales a year ago and 4,498,848 bales two years ago. The average car ry-over for the 10 years 1929 to 1939 was 6.744,800 bales. To Tent Eyct Of School Rut Orivert Thit Year ? In an effort to increase the safety surrounding the operation of school busses in the county, the health de partment is planning to test the eyes of all the drivers. Special equip ment is being installed for giving thorough tests, and those who fail to pass the examinations will not be recommended as drivers, Dr. F. E. Wilson, head of the department, said. The examinations will be given during the first few days of next month. Plans Virtually Complete for Consolidating Agencies Here Plans were announced virtually, complete today for consolidating un it offices of the Works Progress Ad ministration and establishing district headquarters for the Farm Security Administration here within, the im-_ mediate future. Arrangements for housing twenty additional employees of the Works Progress Administra tion now located in Windsor and New Bern were handled yesterday. The enlarged personnel will he located in offices over Hardens' Department Store next to the Branch Banking and Trust Company. Plans, while still pending, are virtually certain to materialize for housing the district headquarters of the Farm Security Administration on the second floor of the York Building on Washington Street The consolidation program of the Works Progress Administration. bringing many of the workers back here who were with the organization at this point prior to its disentegra tion some time ago. will likely be ef fected not later than September 1, it was unofficially learned. Offices for the enlarged forces are being ren* ovated. and they are to be available within the next ten days. Several of the WPA employees will bring their families here with them. The present program proposes a permanent set-up of its district head quarters here, the authorities ex plaining that no changes other than additions were likely before June 30. next year Employing eight persons, the Farm Security Administration plans to establish its district headquarters here on a permanent basis lmmed iately. accoiding to information gain ed today from Town Clerk G H. Harrison. Many Farmers Forfeit J Soil Benefit Payments ANNIVERSARY Charlie Bowers, popular mer chant, is completing his first year as manager of the local lielk Tyler department store. Mr. Bowers and members of his staff returned Wednesday from an ex tensive buying trip. Four Cases Called In Recorder's Court By Judge H. OJJeel SeHhoiial liicreuM' in (lonrlj Activities Due Following Market Opening Its docket reflecting a mid-summer slump in crime", the Martin County Recorder's court was in session hard ly more than an hour last Monday when Judge H O l^-tJ called four cases for trial. Only two new cases were ixlaced on the docket tor con sideration, Solicitor I) K Johnson pointing out that fewer litigants were in the court than for any other session in recent weeks. An increase in the court's busi ness is anticipated now that the to bacco markets are opening, and peo ple start moving around more. Few t ntertain the least desire to fight, but when general business shows an increase, that increase is reflected in greater numbers of crimes such as fighting and drinking. The proceedings in the court this week were.of a minor nature, and there were few spectators in the courtroom during the short session. Charged with larceny and receiv ing, John Sam Moore pleaded not guilty, but the court differed with his claim and sentenced him to the roads for sixty days. The case charging Robert Wil liams with an assault on a female was nolprossed Charged with an assault with a deadly weapon, William Harrell pleaded not guilty, the court sus taining his claim after evidence in the case was heard The case charging John E. Cooke with non-support was continued un til next Monday, August 21. Having failed to abide by a form er judgment of the court. Albert Sparrow was sentenced to the roads for a term of ninety days. The defen dant was charged with an effective knife attack upon a Martin County man several months ago. Close to 100 stitches were necessary to close the rips in the man's body, reports on the attack stated Homr Affenl In Planning Trip To World'? Fair Home demonstration club women under the direction of Miss Lora E. Sleeper, Martin home agent, are planning a visit to the New York fair the latter part of this month. A special bus has been procured, the agent pointing out that reservations should be made immediate^. The fire of the trip is $28.80. Less Than Forty Percent Complying With Soil Program 0\rr|iluuliii? Will (lout Furni its in C.uiiiiI\ Vii-ll Omt 8 lOO.(MHUH) Martin County farmers, as a whole, have forfeited well in excess of $100, 000 in soil conservation payments as .. ,1'sult of increased plantings of the various soil-depleting crops, accord ing to unofficial reports received to day from a preliminary survey of the program compliance work. Pos sibly sixty per cent, the survey shows, have forfeited all claims to the benefit payments, and less than 25 per cent complied with the terms of the program to earn a greater por tum of the special payments. A very small percentage will participate to the full extent of the program bene fits About fifteen per cent will i ceive varying amounts up to possi bly 50 per cent of the maximum ben efits, it is believed. Under the 1930 program, Martin | County farmers, by participating 100 per cent in the program, could have earned a total of $219,500 in soil con servation payments and $32,845 cot- | ton price adjustment payments. Special Assistant T H. Slade in the office of the county farm agent points out that very, very few farm ers planted in excess of their cotton allotments and therefore will be eligible for the cotton price adjust ment payments which will be dis tributed upon base allotments rather than on actual plantings. In other 1 words, the farmer who had a cotton allotment and planted no cotton is el igible to participate in the cotton price adjustment payments. I Between 35 and 40 per cent of the farmers have already applied for their cotton price adjustment pay ments which possibly will be made available dunne thi- bittor purl?uf. September or early October. The cot ton price adjustment payments are available to all cotton farmers even though they failed to comply with the soil conservation program for other crops. I Those farmers who overplanted their cotton allotments will realize that the staple is under a strict con I trol program and that no payments I from any source will be available to them, nor will they be allowed to | borrow more than 60 per cent of the I loan value while the cooperating far I mer can borrow to the full extent of the loan value. The main soil conservation pro gram was deserted to a great extent when Martin farmers turned to to bacco in a big way. Late estimates in dicate that tobacco growers in this county increased their tobacco plant ings by more than 35 per cent in ex cess of their base acreages. The ex cess tobacco production and the re sulting penalties will wipe out in possibly sixty per cent of the cases all the benefit payments that would ordinarily go to those farmers. Strange as it may seem, the great r~ (Continued on page six) SCHEDULE | After enjoying a half holiday each afternoon since early June, Williamston merchants and oth er business houses are now back on a full-time operating sched ule, the last of the special holi days having been observed this week. Constituting about all the va cation many employees and em ployers will get the half-holi day schedule has met with a marked success here this sum mer, and it is generally agreed that flttle dlfflenity will be en countered in instituting the schedule next summer.

Sanitary Drive Is Meeting^ ithSome Degree Of Success Ba<l Condition* Found IK i Health Korcen on First Inspection Trip WittiHTTvston's drive rr?r improved sanitary conditions, sponsored by the town authorities and directed by the health authorities, is now gaining momentum after getting off to a slow start week before last, late reports from the health office indicating that property owners, as a whole, are fall ing in line to give the movement a strong support. Already several store owners and operators have complied with the rules and regula tions governing the clean-up move ment. and their participation will be recogrtized by a designated poster. .. Starting the?clean-up?movement at the request of town officials, the health forces described many back lots in the town as being nothing more than community dump heaps where ideal breeding places were maintained for flies, mosquitoes and rats. Even little children were said to have pillaged, around in the gar bage thrown out and scattered pro miscuously at the back doors of some establishments. Making a second inspection of the backlots this week, the health forces explained there was some improve ment over the filthy, nasty and bad ! conditions existing a few days be ? fore Notations of irregular handling j of garbage and refuse were made, and pleas are being directed to tin property owners, urging them to take 1 immediate action to further promote ! the clean-up movement ?A card.of recognition awaits cv | cry business house operator cooper ating in the movement, reports front similar campaigns in other centers j stating that the cards carry weight i in the eyes of the store patron.

Four Stills Wrvclii'rf In Ctunity Thursiluy The illicit liquor business, nppar ently renewed on a larger scale in anticipation of fair tobacco prices next Tuesday, was nipped in the bud, partially at least, yesterday when county officers, led by Special Depu ty. J?lb?Roebuck raided. in two townships and, wrecked four plants. Three of the plants were found in Bear Grass and a fourth in William ston Township. The operations, at nearly every one of the plants were advanced on a-comparatively small scale, the owners possibly finding it difficult to get their activities prop erly financed. One of tlm four lanb was an unusually crude one, the of ficers stating that an old gas drum was used for a still and that the con nections were made with pump pipe Very little beer was found at the plants, the total amount hardly ex ceeding 400 gallons. Two of the stills were made of copper, one of 40 gal Ion and the other of 20-gallon eapa city The special enforcement officer was assisted in the raids by Deputies Haislip and Peel Firemen (ivt Firxl Full In A Mnnlli Yextrrilay Members of the local volunteer fire department got their first call in exactly one month when they were called to a small two-room col ored home on Hatton Street, Ex tended.
