Tyson 5,000 Leaf Sales Beyond Goaf Prices Holding Up Well As End of Season Ap proaches Approaching the end of the most successful season the Farmville to bacco market has ever experienced, in point of receipts for poundage sold, sales are growing lighter daily as the 1934 cn^of bright leaf rapidly nears exhaustion. Total poundage for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday . and Thursday of this, the 13th week, amounted to 33^34, for which the sum of $9,55.41 was paid, an average at $2X46. . i . ? ' Prices are holding up well, though a large per cent -of inferior tobaccos are showing up in the.offering each day, which types are having a de pressing effect on the daily and gen eral averages. Receipts this week have brought the total poundage to 18,187,942 several thousand pounds beyond the goal set for the market here this season,-receipts peaching -$5,593,165. 03 and fehe??v?rage $30.75. Tobacconists -are continually -wont ing giuweia against selling scrap tobacco anywhere except on the warehouse- floors, by order of the government In pest years scrap could be sold direct- to the factories hut -under the code it must '-be - sold on warehouse floors and counted in the planter's i sale allotment ! ? 4. Endanger Contracts i With Scrap Tobacco Some tobacco growers are endang- i cring their adjustment contracts by {selling scrap tobacco illegally, wans, ?. Y. Floyd, of State College, director of the tohaoco program in North Carolina. Bossibly some of the growers do ? not know the penalties will be im posed on those who are fodnd mak ing illegal sales of their scrap, he said, and it may be that some do not realize that certain sales are illegal. Those glowers who sell their scrap illegally will be required to cancel their contracts, return all benefit payments received,\ and pay the 25 per cent tax on all their to bacco sold this year. . If court action is necessary to re cover the benefit payments and the taxes due, he -added, the growers will also he. taxed-the cost of such suits as may develop. x i jkU sales, regardless of what type of tobacco* or who ii the purchaser, most be entered on she tax-exemp tion card, Floyd said. Any sale not marked an the card is-illegal. To legalize the sale of tobacco to another person, when the -sale is not made at a warehouse, the grower' must -hate the safe marked on the card hy-a -4eid aaristswtof the fo 'baeco program in his county. The assistant will write the neces sary tax warrant, stating the amount rand price of the weed sold, and legalize the sale. * ~ i 1 ii ??? ii -ir ii ?? ~ ii " ibiniiwtai ?iwm ?? up i ??

"Yours is a working family," he said, "the leaders of back genera tions, -and those of your community today, were and -ere people, who rise - - . at' daybreak . anu work," 7 Education, discussed as a para Hmwuit "factor in the life of*the child B~the future citizen, was, the third landmark, designated 4p D* Mead: ows", who took occasion to pay Ha fine tribute to the reunion presi dent, Dr. Joyner, as an outstanding educator, in whom the entire South Hfcate a justifiable pride. The speaker urged his hearers to be Honest?'?to yourselves, to others, to God?you can stand foursquare and be a leaven that will leaven your entire community," he declared, and defended a Pride in self,famHyand ?Possessions.

Governor Confers With Hutson, Urging Expe dition of Sign - up? Farmville Shows High est Average Raleigh, Nov. 15.?October tobac co receipts this year were more than double those of October, 1933, it was announced yesterday by the State i Federal crop reporting service. " The increase was- noted despite > smaller total sales. Sales last month by producers totaled 116,328,169, ap proximately 56,000,000 pounds be low the figure for the same month of the preceding year, but the av- ? erage price for 33.7 cents per pound this <X:tober was far above the 14.3 cents average for October, 1933. Total sales at the end of October for the season amounted to 325,000, 000 pounds, for which an approxi mate $90,000,000 was paid to pro ducer& Confers With Hutson. Announcement of the continued High returns from the first year's controlled production served to ac cenuate sentiment for a sign-up to extend crop control for a longer period. This sentiment was expressed in resolutions adopted at the mass meeting of growers in ' Farmville last week. Governor Ehringhaus conferred with J. B. Hutson, head of the to bacco section of the AAA in Wash ington by ? telephone yesterday with reference to spading up the sign up and possibly combining it with the referendum on the Kerr bill which will,be held this month. The Governor told Mr. Hutson that sentiment among growers in the tobacco belt was solidified for an immediate sign-up, and expressed \ the opinion that it would be . a good idea to conduct the' sign-up "while the folks are in the best hum# io sign." - He was assured, . )^apKffig||fcr. Hutson that the AAA" would move just as quickly as possible, but that he could say nothing definite \ as to when that would be until it was determined at "conferences on Cap itol HilL" The Governor expressed the opin ion that he saw no reason to delay the sign-up for further legislation? as the AAA has indicated it feels might be wise?in view of the fact that the successful sign-up last year was "put over without benefit of legislation. - . Farmville Price Leads ?? ? ' ' ? ? i - Highest average prices paia were at Farmville, in the "New Bright Belt, where 5,070,794 pounds sold , > for 35,9 cents per pound.
