GROUP SUGGESTS BTSC HANDLE NX. TOBACCO 1 ' - 4sa m Mr. Edm m COUNTY ROADS RESURFACED BY STATE FORCES State Highway Commissioner Andy Nesbitt reports the compl tion of road improvement projects in Madison County during the month of July, as follows: 2.1 miles Ivy Bridge Road from US 25 and 70 to Buncmobe-Mad ison County Line; 1.2 miles Upper Shut-in Road from US 26 and 70 to end of pavement; and 0.7 mile Bluff Road from Bonnie Bill Road to NC 209. Bituminous surface treatment was placed on 2.2 miles of Caldwell Mountain Road from NC 209 to Meadow Fork Road. According to Harry G. Silver, county agent, Madison County burley tobacco farmers have been able to participate in the price support system on burley tobac prior to 1962 by Farmers Federa thion of Asheville handling the to bacco which was taken by the government for Commodity Cred it. Since Farmers Federation was dissolved, there was no organiza tion present in North Carolina to legally handle tobacco which was not purchased by buyers and which was to go to Commodity Credit at support price. At the suggestion of Robert W. Scott, Master of North Carolina State Grange, a meeting of agri cultural leaders was called to be held at the courthouse in Asheville on Monday, August 12. At this meeting Harry B. Caldwell, with the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, presided and explained to those rresent that it would be necessary to set up a local organ ization or to combine with and authorize the Burley Tobacco Sta bilization Cooperative in Tennes Bee to handle the burley tobacco from Western North Carolina markets which was to go into Comodity Credit at support price. It was the opinion of those pres ent at the meeting that the vol ume of tobacco from Western North Carolina tobacco markets which would go into Commodity Credit would not justify the or ganization and operation of a co operative to handle tobacco going to Commodity Credit. This group suggested thit the Burley Tobacco Stabilization Co operative from Tennessee check with C W. Sheffield with the N. C Department of Agriculture, to see if their organisational struc ture was set up to enable them to operate legally in North Caro lina end that the Burley Tobacco Stabilisation Cooperative be au tho riled to handle all tobacco from the burley markets of North Carolina going into Commodity Credit.

An across-the-board slash in both individual and corporate in come tax rates, the big objective of President Kennedy's tax revi sion plan, was approved Wednes day by the House Ways and Means Committee. The cuts would apply to income beginning Jan. 1, 1964. Two-thirds of the individual reductions and a bit more than half the corporate .reduction would come on 1964 in come, the remainder on 1966 and subsequent income. The treasury says the individ ual out would average 20 per cent in rates over all, and 15 per cent in the brackets embracing most Americans those with tax able income of $2,000 to $60,000 Lightning Strikes Walnut Home Tues.; Stove Damaged $16,000.00 Needed To Start Work; Would Increase County Income "Production and marketing of trellised, vine-ripe tomatoes has become a profitable business for many farmers of Western North Carolina," Harry Silver, County Extension Chairman, said this week. An example of the value of production sold through one plant, Haywood County Fruit and Vegetable Cooperative, Incorpor ated, in 1963 was $504, 362.20.. A number of other markets and out lets handled tomatoes from the area. "There Is A Future For Additional Farm Income With To matoes," Mr. Silver continued. Markets must be established and efficiently operated if production is to be expanded and more farm (families are to redfeive income from tomato production. Curb markets, fly-by-night operators, or sawmill shed operators offer no dependable market for toma toes or other fresh produce. The future is in sound marketing op erations with permanent facili ties, experienced graders, depend able experienced brokers.- By this method only can tomatoes from Madison County be put oa a Na tional market. Trellised tomato production re quires large labor use per acre, low capital nivestment per acre, arid sound management. In re turn farmers receive excellent in come for labor and land use. This income is obtained during the summer months, when it is badly needed. Tee labor is not heavy (br hard and does not have to be skilled. This type of farm enter prise will fit well in Madison County for these reasons: we have a very limited amount of good cropland and cannot grow large acreages of low income crops, there is a reasonable sup ply of surplus family labor, peo ple of the county can loam the necessary cultural practices on to matoes easily, our climate and soils are ideal for production of large yields of top quality toma toes. The North Carolina Agricul tural Extension Service backed up by the resources of N. C. State College, can keep the county ag ents trained and informed oa dis ease control and cultural practic es necessary for maximum yield. A good local market is urgent ly needed if trellised tomato pro duction is to offer a major source of additional farm income in Mad- json County.
