F. Lee, the North Carolina State President and his wifeTrom Willrow Springs and Mr. and Mrs. N. J.. Cotton from Fuquay Springs were guests at the meeting. Mr. Lee made a very interesting talk and several others made a few remarks. The tobacco allotments for 1956 have not been set, according to, A. K McAdams, office manager of the local ASC Office. “M present we know that there will be at least a 12*7 cut on all i 1966 tobacdo allotments that have ; planted at least 75% of their tobac co acreage in* 1953, 1954, and 1965”, McAdams stated. Before any further ctft can be% made. Congress which meets in S January will have to pass legisla tion asking the Secretary of Agri I culture to set a new national quo* ta. A referendum will then be held ! at which time the producers will l vote on whether they want a new allotmoift cut, say 20%. or no cut at all. If another referendum is called we will vote a higher cut than the 12%. or no cut at all. If the farmers should not vote favor ably in the election, of course there, would be no price support or gov ernment grading, McAdams ex- - plained. ■ Many farmers are .asked for an increase in their 1956 acreage. There is 1/10 of one per cent of | the 1955 allotment that will be I available to make adjustments. That- means that Orange' County with 4,671.3 1965 alloted acres will have about 4.0 acres of tobacco for the enlire county. This is lea* > than 0.8 acres for each townsMgv ; The public will be advised; when 1 this adjustment is made. I TJ* average acreag*.^ allotment /rtDraoge County i* five * afcres “We cau readily See that a large* . part of the total tobacco produced • in Orange County comes from what we would term small farms,” McAdams said. v "^. i “Let's remember this fact, the chief purpose of the tobacco pro gram is to keep the production within or just under the demand of consumers, If we reach the point in production where the supply ex ceeds the demand only reduction in price can be the result”, he added. • • , * Premeasiiremenl service to to bacco growers in the county will be offered after January when the allotment for 1956 is released. Deadline Is Near final orders for fruit cakes will be placed December 4, H. G. Cole man, Jr., Chairman of the Hills boro Exchange Club Fruitcake Sale, announced today. The Hillsboro Exchange Club has been engaged for the last two weeks in. selling fruit cakes for funds to continue' the development of the Recreation Park. “We- need to know how many cakes will be wanted so that no one w il be disappointed," Coleman r said. “If you will decide how many you will need for the Christmas holidays and -will so inform any Exchange Club member, we will make suie thta you receive them."
