The Rue-Cured Tobacco
Agreement is Most
Successful; Those Who
Sign Reduction Agree
ment Will Receive
Equalizing Payment
Washington, Nov. 28.?The printing
having been done, officials of the
agricultural adjustment administra
tion yesterday stated they would
at aUce. inaugurate the work of dis
tributing the contracts among the
growers of flue cured tobacco, the
progarm being designed to control
production in 1934 and 1935. It is a
proposal that has received the earn
est consideration of Secretary Wal
lace and his aides, and their hope is
that the farmers will continue tc
manifest a co-operative spirit It was
also announced yesterday that equal
ization payments would be made tc
those farmers who sold their tobaccc
on the border markets in October, or
before better prices become the rule.
Since the upward trend of prices
officials here have frequently men
tioned . the successful handling of the
tobacco problem in the flue cured
territory as an example of what the
administration hopes co accomplish
in farm relief with respect to crops
generally in all parts of the country.
Growers who signed agreements and
who sold tobacco on the South Caro
lina and bonier markets from Sep
tember 25 to October 28, will receive
a price equalizing payment of 10" pei
cent of the value of the tobacco sold
on those markets during that period.
The reason for this difference in the
date to which payments are extendi
in eastern North Carolina and the
South Carolina and border markets
is that the price advance was not as
rapid there as on the eastern North
Carolina markets," Mr. Hutson said.
"A careful analysis of available in
formation for the different markets
indicated that in the case of the
South Carolina and border markets
? -J oo e
ix required uuui vcvumn iwi
advance in prices corresponding Ic
the advance that had taken place ir
eastern North Carolina by October 7
In reaching a decision at to the ex
tension of the equalization payments
consideration was given to price
changes by grades in both sections
the quality of this crop in both sec
tions as compared with previous
crops and the changes in the average
prices this year as compared witl
previous years."
About $4,000,000 will be paid tc
growers through the price equaliza
tion payments. This will be in addi
tion to payments to be made to grow
ers for reducing flue cured tobacci
production as required under the
agreements.
With respect to the contract the
feue cured growers will be asked te
sign, it is set forth, under the cap
tion: "Performance by the secretary

payment of seventeen dollars and fif
ty cents ($17.50) per acre of the ren

Chevrolet Manager -
Makes Announcement\
Chevrolet is now in production on
lew 1984 models as the beginning of <
lext year's , program, M. E. Coyle, 1
General Manager of the Chevrolet 1
Motor Company announced today. 7i) a
Empiyment is nearly normal in-the 1
?orge Plant in Detroit, the Foundry i
n Saginaw and the Carburetor and i
[lie Casting Plant in Bay City. 1'lie 1
>ther manufacturing plants located in i
riirtt, Detroit and Toledo have already 3
lalf their regular employes back at
vork and the production at the varh- ]
>us assembly plant is starting slowly.
"We are, however, fully staffed
vith our regular employes, who are
>eing summoned back to work as ?
leeded," Mr. Coyle stated. c
Radical styling and engineering i
hanges, with increased speed and ?
conomy, are promised. Independent
ront wheel suspension, providing: a 1
:ushion ride with "km>e action'' t
springs, recently announced for all 1
lew General Motors models by Presi- t
lent Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., will help i
nake the 1934 Chevrolet the most ex- *
ensively improved annual model since *
he car was stepped up to six cylin- 1
iers in 1928, according to the Cheynk 1
et executive. c
"Manufacturing operations are be- e
ng pushed ahead with all possible 1
lispatch to get a full quota of regu- 2
ar Chevrolet employes on the payrolls e
vith a minimum of delay," Mr. Coyle
stated. "As soon as sufficient display v
ars to stock the company's 10,001) 4
lomestie dealers are in ihe field the *
mblic showing will be held," he said, 2
In the first ten months of 1933 the c
company built 609,000 units, 55 per- c
:ent more than in the full twelve
nonths of 1932 . This sharp increase,
achieved mostly in the past sb
nonths, enabled the company to fair
sh its 1933 program with hourly
wage rates 20 percent higher than a;
he beginning of the year.
"We believe," said Mr. Coyle, "tha;
:he most effective contribution Amer
ican industry can make to the genera}
welfare at this time is to get all its
regular employes back on the payrtffl
is quickly as. possible, give them As
many hours work as the law allows
or sales volume will permit and u
the highest wages commensurate wiii
the work being done in their local itiea
"In the fifteen cities where vie
operate plants we have tried to paw
wages as high or higher than obtai^?
id in other industries or plants m
those cities for this same type of
work. By this method we hope to in
spire an understanding between tHq
men and the management cf our mu
tual problem of keeping factories
operating that men may be employed^
"Consideration for the workmen hais
been and" will continue to be a major
factor in the determination of our ai$-i
nual program. We are, to* a greatajij
;xtent than ever before, spreading
vork as widely as we can and ehdeav
>ring through the build up of parts
nventeries, to avoid any severe dips
n our employment chart."
Ife;: Coyle stated that ho definite
iate for the public showing of |ihe
1934 cars had yet been determined.
3e add he felt sure, however, that it
vould be held in ample time to ena
>!e the company to participate fully
n New York automobile show acti
rities, where Chevrolet by virtue of
eading the industry in production and
tales will for the eighth Ionsecutive
rear occupy first place.

FILLER IN FERTILIZER |S|K
COSTLY TO TARHEEL FARMERS
Ivi v- V-*'.; \ ?'" ? ''1 tVh ? .*' rrA*^
?
Filler material used largely inflow
frade fertilizers and consisting prin
ipally of sand and other inert ma
erial is costing North Carolina farm
rs about one million dollars a year.
This startling statement was made
ecently by Dr. Oswald Schreiner of
he United States Department of Ag
iculture in urging before manufac
urers the use of a smaller number of
grades and a minimum plant food con
ent of at least 16 percent. In ask
ng that filler material be eliminated,
)r. Sehreiner said estimates by the
Jureau of Chemistry and Soils indi
ate that in normal years 900,000 tons
>f filler are used in mixed fertilizers,
nvolving in North Carolina alone an
additional cost of $1,000,000 to farm
srst.
? ? ? ?
In contrast to tome other states
irhere the minimum plant food con
ent is 24 p rcent, North Carolina
tas more than 20 years used fertili
;ers with an average/ of only 14 per
exit of actual plant food and the use
f worthless filler is increasing.
