To Fix Opening
Date Next Week
For Leaf Market
Tohaeco Association of The
United States Ends
Annual Meeting
Meot'ng in Raleigh next Tues
day, a committee of the Tobacco
Association of the United States
will fix the dates for opening the
flue-cured tobacco markets for the
coming season. The crop in this
section is well advanced over that
of a year ago and some of it will
have been cured before the dates
are fixed. Whether the commit
tee will take into consideration
the the early crop in this section
remains to be seen.
The association, concluding its
annual meeting at Virginia Beach
yesterday afternoon, voted to con
tinue last season's auction sched
ule of five hours daily. Sales will
be limited to 400 piles per hour for
each set of buyers and the piles
are not to exceed 250 pounds in
weight, the maximum allowed in
the past two years.
The meeting Vas addressed by
Rep. Harold Cooley, J B. Hutson
of Tobacco Associates, and the re
tiring president, Clyde B. Austin,
of the association.
Austin told the association that
tobacco sent abroad under ERP
‘‘should be a real aid in recon
struction for foreign govern
ments,” both as an "incentive pro
duct and as a source of internal
revenue.” Besides, he said, "it
gives our farmers and industry an
outlet for tobacco for which there
is no demand in this country.”
Urging cooperation among to
bacco growers, dealers, ware
housemen and exporters, Austin
said “we will need careful guid
ance . . . to keep our industry on
a free enterprise and competitive
basis.”
“We have supported govern
ment aid to create purchasing po
wer for exports ... in the belief
that these <*vill aid European re
covery and our own agriculture
. ..r*one in be r, h o ve ve..,
that the effects of any program of
price supports and export grants
or subsidies must also be consid
ered from the consumpr‘s stand
point, whether that consumer be
domestic or foreign.
"If we subsidize American pro
ducts or types of products which
have become obsolete, or that
have lost consumer demand, we
are striking a blow” at the Am
erican competitive system.
Austin urged support of a farm
program "which will maintain
reasonable stocks of tobacco to
guard against crop failures and to
provide for possible increases in
domestic and export consumption.
We must, however, assure that
these surpluses do not reach un
manageable proportions, and that
they are not dumped at prices
which would injure those who
bought their stocks at going mar
ket prices and those who are rais
ing the present crops in good
faith.
"We must provide a long run
farm program which protects all
our farmers against wide fluctua
tions in farm income and assures
them a fair return for their ef
forts.
"I want to also suggest that we
work toward a better understand
ing and formulate some equitable
yardstick for the control of old
and new markets and the place
ment of buyers in the various
belts.
“I would also strongly recom
mend that our association main
tain a representative in Washing
ton during this postwar adjust
ment period.”

| COUNTY BUDGET |
-
Meeting tomorrow morn

of commissioners will set up
budget figures I'or the 1948
49 fiscal year. The authori
ties are faced with rising costs
in several departments, par
ticularly in the welfare and
relief departments. And it is
going to be difficult to hold
the existing rate. It is pos
sible that an increase in the
rate will follow.
No official figures are yet
available, but revenue in
some departments is gradual

Fur Conviction Of
Guillv Parties
Fire, believed to have been of
incendiary origin, destroyed the
corn barn and a tenant house on
the John Williams farm near Gold
Point last Friday night and early
Saturday morning. Officers are
investigating the fires and are
working on one or two minor
clues. During the meantime, Mr.
Williams is offering a $100 cash
reward for the arrest and convic
tion of the guilty parties. Sus
picion points to one or two parties,
but no arrests have yet been made
in the case, according to informa
tion coming from the sheriff’s of
fice.
The corn barn, containing only
a small quantity of corn, was fir
ed and burned between 830 and
9:00 o’clock last Fi iday evening.
The owner and several others
went there but the fire had gained
too much headway to be checked.
Several remained there until the
fire had completely burned itself
out and when the last person left
there wasn't a single spark to be
seen. Some suspicion arose at that
time, but not too much thought
was given to the unexplained
origin of the fire at the time.
Five or six hours later, at about
2 00 o’clock Saturday morning,
the six-room tenant house was
found burning rapidly. It was
then that the owner reached the
conclusion that a fire bug had
been operating there.
As far as it could be learned no
insurance was carried on the barn
and only $500 was in force an the
tenant house which would cost
A bachelor tenant lived in the
i house, but he hud been staying

was reported to have lost all his
belongings in the fire.
No general alarm was rounded
and no report on the f.re was
! heard here immediately.
Notice of the $100 cash reward
was posted this week by Mr. Wil
i liams.

Tobacco Farmers
Hold Acreage To
Assigned Quotas
Farmers Asked To Keport
Soil Ituildiii^; Practices
Dandled To Dale
Chocking "ii approximately
seventy percent of the crops in
this county to date, the office of
the county agent has found that
tobacco farmers have held their
plantings well in line with the as
signed quotas, according to a re
port released by T. B. Slade, sec
retary.
It was reported that quite a few
farmers bad planted slightly in
excess of the allotments, but near
ly everyone, if not everyone, had
destroyed the excess before the re
ports were prepared and submit
ted to the old Triple A office. As
far as it could be learned no farm
er had intentionally exceeded los
'r: - ■ i.-i •- ■■ po.:'.:..'Uic
ilrar-Wi-e fdarjaiii-KS -i).>:♦+*
found when the remaining thirty
percent of the farms are checked.
Mr Slade pointed out that while
there have been no sizable ex
cesses found, it is quite evident
that most of the farmers planted
right up to the allotment.
It has been ruled that the farm
er planting in excess of his allot
ment will not be eligible for par
ity loans It was also pointed out
that penalties imposed on excess
plantings will be collected this
year right at the warehouse when
the tobacco is sold. Heretofore, it
was possible for the farmer plant
ing in excess to estimate the sur
plus, pay the penalty prior to mar
keting time and have an adjust
ment made when the crop had
been sold in its entirety.
Farmers, partk ipating in the
soil conservation program, are be
ing asked to report their soil
building practices to date as soon
as possible. It it not necessary
for them to report directly to the
office of the county agent, Mr.
Slade explaining that they may
mail in their bills received for
lime and pasture seed.
For their 194 7 soil building
practices, Martin County farmers
received approximately $4!i,,r>00.
The maximum they can receive
for the practices in 11J4H is $27,000.
Jt has been pointed out that a
shortage is anticipated in Austrian
winter peas, vetch and clover
seed, and the office of the county
agent advises fanners to place
their orders without delay. A fair
ly plentiful supply ol rye grass
seed is in prospect, it was said.
