There are about 1,300 eligible voters in Haywood county for the hurley referendum which will be held Saturday. A large vote is 'expected by the AAA county com mittee. The polls win open a. i i c; The referendum will decide U muiWotinir ouotas shall be in ef- Ifect for the 1944-4(5 crops, 1944 alone, or not at all. The referendum Saturday will be in accordance with a Joint Reso lufion approved by Congress on July 7 which provided for procla ... i i nil nf ouotas on burley and flue-cured tobacco for the market ling year 1944-45. Quotas will not be in effect, however, unless ap proved by at least two thirds of all i eligible producers voting in a na tional referendum. Flue-cured growers approved quotas for a per iod of three years by a majority of 7 to 1 in a referendum held on I July 24.' If quotas are approved, acreage allotments for individual farms will be increased in 1944 by 20 per cent of parity. If quotas are not approved, no restrictions will be placed on the number of growers . :u or the amouni oi rooacco which may he marketed, and no price sup ports or loans can be made availa ble under existing legislation. T. Weaver Cathey, member of the State AAA Committee, said: "This referendum will give tobac co growers, themselves, an oppor tunity to decide whether market ing quotas will be in effect for the coming year and the following two years," he declared. "Any person land owner, tenant, or sharecropper who has an interest in the 1943 burley crop is eligible to vote, but no person may vote more than once regardless of the ex A nt' of his operations." Marketing quotas on burley to bacco now in effect were voted by growers in a referendum in 1940. Quotas have been in effect On Bur ley tobacco each year since 1938, with the exception of the 1939 crop. "Any person, landowner, tenant or sharecropper, who has an inte rest in the 1943 burley tobacco crop is eligible to vote in the ref erendum, but no person, corpora tion, or other legal entity is eligi ble to vote more than one time, re gardless of the number of crops of tobacco he may have an interest in, Mr. Boyd said. "Persons who believe they are eligible to cast a ballot, but who are not listed on the register of eligible voters, should cast their ballot at their nearest polling place. These bal lots will be challenged, and if it is determined the voters were eligi ble, the ballots will be counted." Mr. Boyd stated that the county committee wishes to stress the point that with marketing quotas the production of burley tobacco can be held within the territory now raising this crop.

Registered Here fords Will Be Sold Saturday At Clyde Auction Sale Want Ads Bring Quick Results Definite proof that Want Ads in the The Mountaineer get results, was evidenced by three users of this column this week, as they reported quick action. Hugh Jolly advertised a portable typewriter. It was sold within three hours after the paper was published, and calls con tinued to pour in for several days. "It beat all for results," he said. Brading Gas Company lost a pair of trucks from the gas truck. The finder saw the Want Ad and in a short time, Brad ing Gas Company had the trucks back. Mrs. Brown rented her garage apartment with a Want Ad. She had used this means of keeping her apartment rented for a long time. The rates on Want Ads are 25 words for 25c a minimum of 25c per issue. I Much interest is being shown in the auction sale of 72 head of reg istered Herefords which will be staged at the Clyde stockyards on Saturday, Oct. 23, starting at one o'clock. The 72 head of top grade animals have been brought to this section by the Haywood Hereford Breed ers Association. -In the lot of ani- mals, are 46 choice females and 26 iquality bulls. The sale will be conducted by Earl Gartin, one of the best auc tioneers of purebred cattle in the nation. i Well known Haywood breeders have been to outstanding Hereford ing animals for the sale. Among the well known blood lines of cattle which will be offered for sale on Saturday, includes: W. H. R. Breeding, Laurie Domino, Don Blanchard 54th, W. H. R. Car los Domino 31st. Several calves of Laurie Domi no, famous Hereford bull which was bought by several Haywood breeders several years ago, will be included in the sale, it was said.
