Start Work On Tobacco Mart Cards Tobacco Growers Asked To Make Requests for Marketing Cards Not Later Than August 1st Tobacco contract signers in Pitt County have been asked to go^ the farm department in Greenville and file a request for their marketing cards between now and August 1st. If this is done, E. F. Arnold, direc tor of the farm office said Tuesday, cards will be in the hands of all con tract signers by the opening of the marketing season, and if it is not done growers will be subjected to considerable delay. Without the requests, Mr. Arnold said, his office will not know how many marketing cards each grower needs and consequently work will be stalled until the information has been provided. The farm director said every effort was being made to have cards in the hands of all growers by the opening date of the tobacco markets, set for August 26, and fanners can greatly expedite the work by filing their re qeusts as promptly as convenient. Should all requests be in the office by the first of next month, the de partment workers will be given suffi cient time to place cards in the hands of all growers in time to sell on the opening sales, but if this is not done, delay is unavoidable. Mr. Arnold urged all growers to take this matter under consideration and to move immediately to assist his department in completing the an nual task in (hie time.

The supervision were given about six weeks to complete the work. The checking actually started on June 11, and with the finish line in sight only slightly over forty days will be re quired to complete the task.
