PMA Members
Plan For Nov.
Burley Election
Approximately 50 community
committeemen last Thursday dis
eased plans for the coming burley
tobacco acreage control referendum
and the committee elections when
they met at the County rroaucuui.
,h M:.nai2enient Administration
olliee.
A. W. Fergu;,on. county commit
tee chairman, presided over the ses
sion. Haywood County tobacco grow
ers will take part in the referen
dum on November 26 to decide
whether I hev want acreage controls
continued, and if so, whether they
want them continued for three
years or for a shorter period.
The committee elections will be
held December 2 and 3.
Jeff Enloe, district PMA field
representative from Asheville, de
clared that f was of utmost im
r,ria.u.. to the county for the to
bacco acreage control system to be
nnnl i. 111(1
The referendum will be held in
all the hurley growing states.
A two-thirds favorable majority
is necessary to continue the con
trols. If the vote goes against continu
rnce of the quota system, the bur
,ey growers would be able to pro
duce" as much tobacco as they want.
On the other hand, however, they
would be making a gamble, for they
would not be able to depend on a
"floor price" to insure them against
a heavy drop in prices.
If the quotas are dropped, so
will the government's price support
system for the 1950 crop. For this
vpar's croo it is 40.3 cents per
pound.
This price support, a Washing
ton dispatch said last week, is like.
ly to be higher next year since the
new agricultural act will be in el
feet for the 1950 crop.
The purchase price was not dis
closed, but tax stamps on the docu
ments filed In the Haywood County
register of deeds' office Indicated
that it ranged altogether between
$5,000 and $6,000.
The proposed plant, which will
represent an Investment of up to
$100,000, will produce chemical
fertilizers of analyses approved by
the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture.
The first unit of the factory is
expected to produce an estimated,
25 000 to 30.000 tons during 1950
for farms from the Georgia border
to Black Mountain.
nlant will employ 18 to 20
workers during normal production
periods, and 40 to ou in rusn
periods.
The first unit will be an 80-by-.160-foot
ono-story building about
30 feet high and. constructed of
steel and masonry.
The size of the plant will be in
creased as the demand for the
products increases.
Plans for the building already
have been sent to an architect, and
representatives of the new business
are expected to come here within
the next ten days to look for homes
for purchase or rent.
Spokesmen said the executives
were induced to locate their plant
in this area because of the sav
ings in freight and transportation
rates and the tremendous progress
Haywood County has made in agri
culture during the last ten years.
The names of the group will be
revealed later, but the members
were described as highly success
ful leaders of the fertilizer indus
try. Residents of the area have no
cause for worry as far as odors are
concerned, it was pointed out.
