N. C. F. B. Fed. Why Vote For Tobacco Quotas 1. In 1932, the tobacco farmers were all broke. We had no pro gram. In 1933, an attempt was made to produce and market tob acco in an oderly manner. Since that time, except for one year (19 39), we have had some kind of a tobacco program supported by quotas either on acres or pounds and price support In a ten year pe.iod, the income of tobacco gro wers was advanced from approxi- i mately 35 million to 309 million I dollars. Statistics will also show that similar gains were made in food and feed crops and living conditions were improved in a j like manner throu ghout the to I bacco producing states, much of which was made possible by the extra income from this Crop. 2. In compliance with the re quest of many of the leading to-J bacco farmers who pioneered with the quota provisions of the law when it was an unpopular is sue and had to be sold and proved to many of our leaders. Congress has seen fit to grant a spocial pri vilege to this group by the passage oiM Joint Resolution No 144. The ; esponsibillty rests with the tobac co grower to reaffirm his faith in thi quota provisions of the tobac co ct. This is considered the most importent referendum ever helJ, th-3 Government has forced abar. onment of quotas on all othei crops except tobacco, and unless a la' ge percent of our tobacco grow ers go put and express their ap pro al in this referendum, in my opinion Congress next year will fail to give us the privilege of vot ing for quotas for 1945. 3. The Food and Feed f rogram is Item No 1 in our defense pro grsm. I realize that the tobacco farmers of North Carolina are as patriotic as any other group In the nation, but if we sell our 1943 to bacco crop for an average of above 4Cc per pound and quotas at the, some time are taken Off of tobac co for 1944, there will be a large number of our farmers who will transfer from food and feed .pro duction into the wholesale produc tion cf flue-cured tobacco. Another contributing factor to this switch ' has been the collapse in price of meet perishable food crops in N. C, this year. 4 Price support means to the tobacco farmer exactly what the , Mitiimum Wage and Hour Law means to the laboring man. We know now that regardless of what happens to the War or anything ' else, tne 1943 tobaco crop cannot : sell foi less than 90 percent cf pa-' rlty. Ihis guarantee perhaps will not mean much to us this year, but within a short lime alter the end of this war, It will very likely be the economic salvation vl the tobacco farmers In this section. Price support by the Government on flue-cured tobacco is absolutely wae our right : as produce to contingent upon controlled produc ticn and the very day that we su.s- ponr. quotas we autoiToncuny ask the Government to guarantee ou.' price I 5. The purpose of quotas cn tlu- cured tobacco is to limit the pro duction to its proper relationship to the demand and to avoid huge surpluses that will hang over the heads of the farmers ana necessi tate heavy expenditures on the part of manufacturers in the form of p.ocessing, storage, insurance, and interest on their investments. Quotas At the sama time guaran tee a fair income to the farmer for his labor year in and year out Quotas are democratic in that all producers of. the commodity af fected are "entitled to an equal vote beardless of whether he pro duces 1-2 acre or 100 acres. We realize that in order for quotas to be effective we must have the ov erwhelming approval of the pro ducers. Therefore, we require a two-thirds majority before quotas are declared law Tobacco quotas are not monopolistic because we I C'tiU U iUbvilL c)L J U a Places For Tobacco Re --I All Gas Coupons Must Be Inscribed Before Presentation Steps to assure protection ag ainst misuse of gasoUne rationing coupons have been taken by (he OPA in ordering that all motor ists and other gasoline users are f eqquired to endorse in Ink on the face of their ration stamps the li cense number at the time of re ceipt of the renewal a ations The new method of handling gasoline (rations began July 22.
