Deere Day, February 5th.
Since establishing its motor
vehicle license bureau nearly
nine years ago, the State of
North Carolina through its var
ious courts has revoked 32,261
motor vehicle drivers* permits.
Last week there were 151 li
censes revoked in the State.
While the licenses were revoked
for various reasons, most of the
I drivers lost them on account of
| drunken driving.
It is estimated that the fines
paid by the defendants in the
more than 32,000 cases amounted
| to well over one and one-half
I million dollars.

buildings under roof and with work

HI. VOCATIONS
Per Acre Tobacco
Tax About $1.100
Tobacco farmers have been won
dering just how they will be affect
ed by the Flannagan Bill, recently
passed by Congress, increasing the
official "parity price" of tobacco.
Here is an interesting comment from
The Progressive Farmer:
"The base period is changed from
1919-29 to 1934-39 which automati
cally boosts the flue-cured parity
figure from 18.3 to 22.4 cents . . . and
lifts burley from 17 to 21.8 cents,
effective with the 1941 crop 'Will
this price increase injure the for
eign demand?' we awkwd K Y Floyd,
'How can these few cents a pound
more for the farmer hurt anything?'
he came back at us, 'when England
and most of the foreign countries al
ready tax tobacco $3 a pound . and
the United States itself taxes tobacco
$1.10 a pound??which means a $1,
100-per-acre tax levied every year j
that comes on each acre producing
1,000 pounds- and larger or smaller
yields in proportion. (Whew!)"
