CAST A BALLOT
The most talked-sbout subject
among North Carolina farmers today!
is the new farm act.
And perhaps the most discussed!
section of the act is that part having!
to do with marketing quotas on cot-1
ton and flue-cured tobacco. When I
Congress wrote that provision into!
the bill, it also cleared a way fori
farmers to accept or reject a restrict-1
ed production of these two crops. I
In 81 of the State's 100 counties,!
growers will journey to community!
polls March 12 to express their opin-1
ion of marketing quotas. If two-1
thirds of those voting want restric-l
tion on their 1938 tobacco and cotton!
crops, then the quotas will go into
effect on this year's production.
In order to get a representative
cross-section of the producers' wishes,
then it will be necessary that every!
grower of these crops cast his ballot. I
If you dont vote and are opposed to
the provisions, the county committee
can place quotas on your production
anyway if the necessary majority
want control.
On the other hand, if you want
your crop restricted so that prices
may be held up next year, then you I
should do your part by visiting the
polls on March 12 and marking yes
on the ballot.
Anyone who produced tobacco or I
cotton in 1937, whether he be land-}
lord, operator, tenant, or sharecrop
per, will be eligible to vote.
Vote as you please?but vote.
GOOD NEWS, WE HOPE
The worst of the business reces
sion is passing, according to John D.
Biggers, who directed the recently
concluded unemployment census. Mr.
Biggers says, "We are scraping along
the bottom of the recession now . . .
we will soon see signs of improve
ment, at least in the consumer in
dustries."
The Cleveland business man be
lieves that the recession was caused
largely by the fact that industries
built up large stock of goods early
last year and his basis for expecting
improvement lies in the belief that
consumer demand has largely ex
hausted the supplies. This, of course,
means that new goods must be man
ufactured.
We have no idea whether Mr. Big
gers knows anything abottt the re
cession or not. In view of the high'
percentage of error that dogged the
prophets of the depression, when
prosperity played them a dirty trick
by staying "around the corner," we
are inclined to wait and see what
happens.
This doesnt mean that Mr. Big
gars' views are not encouraging. He ;
is an eminently successful business
man. What he thinks is vastly more
important, on the basis of probable
? knowledge of conditions, than any
number of predictions by politicians
and editors. Besides, he may be
right; it is not possible for all the
business leaders to be wrong all the
time. '

BOOZE BRINGS ARREST
Chicago. ? Discovering the absence
of the family of Ignez Schwinn, who
were spending the winter in Florida,
James Bleaing, 28, pried open a win
dow of their home here. Everything ?
was fine. He helped himself to a j
bountiful meal from the well-stocked j
larder, enjoyed a bath, using plenty j
of sweet-scented soap and perfumes, ;
and then, donning a pair of Mr. j
Swinn's silk pajamas, prepared to go !
to bed. Before doing so, however, j
he couldn't resist sampling a bottle j
of whiskey he had discovered, This !
proved his downfall. He got drunk, i
made too much noise and was ar- j
rested. i

Small Grower Aided' .
Under New Farm Ad
' it';' ? -
Giving thfe small farter a "break"
Is one of the purposes of the new
(arm act, according to E. Y. Floyd,
AAA executive officer at State Col
lege.
Provisions for larger payments to
operators of small farms who coop
erate in the Agricultural Conserva
tion program, a part of the act, have
been provided. Growers who would
earn less than ^200 under the regu
lar rates will hive their payments in
creased this year.
The following scale will be used
when conservation payments are be
ing made:
If payment is not more than $20,
the total payment will be increased
10 per cent; payments of $20 to $40
will be increased $8 plus 20 per cent
of the amount over $20; payment of
$40 to $60 will be increased $12 plus
10 per cent the amount over $40;
payments of $60 to $186 will be in
creased $14; and payments of $186 to
$200 will be increased to $200.
This scaling upward of the smal
ler payments will be a first charge
against funds available for payments,
Floyd declared.
Farmers who take part in. the AAA
program this year will qualify for
payments by staying within their
soil-depleting crop acreage allotments
and by measuring up to their soil
building goals.
The new act, in the main, merely
adds to the present Agricultural Con
servation program by providing for
acreage allotments, marketing qqptas
when producers desire them, and crop
loans.
If the cotton-tobacco referenda pas
ses' March 12, larger growers will re
ceive steeper acreage cuts than will
the smaller farmers, Floyd pointed
out.
