$hey jfo to the polls, Saturday, July
On, that date, flue-cured growers
from the Carolines will cast ballots
either for or against continuance of:
1. A 10-cent-per-acre assessment
to support Tobacco Associates.
2. Tobacco Marketing Quotas.
Here is some background for the
two referendums:
North and South Carolina depend
heavily on the success of the flue
cured, Tobacco program. Two vital
phases of that program are Market
ing Quotas, which guarantee stabiliz
ed market prices through a support
program, and the export promotional
work carried_on by Tobacco Asso
ciates. " , i<,
Since 1934 growers have enjoyed
the benefits of an acreage control
prograh, and since 1939 they have
operated successfully under Market
ing Quotas with acreage allotments.
Repeatedly tobacco growers have
voted overwhelmingly to continue
this program, which has meant so
much not only to growers bu the en
tire economy of the two states.
Tobacco Associates was formed in
1947 by growers and their allied in
terests to protect and develop foreign,
markets—upon .which they depend
for the sale of some 40 per cent of
.their tobacco each year. In July of
that year, growers in the twoXaro
linas overwhelmingly approved the
present 10-cent-per-acre assessment
for 1947-1949 and again in 1949, they
approved the - assessment for 1950,
1951, and 1952;
The extent of the work done by this
export-promoting organization is
evidenced by the increase in exports
since its formation six years ago.
Exports of United States flue-cured
tobacco have .increased from 359
million pounds in 1947 to 490 million
pounds ih.1951 and'are now about 30
per .emit above pre-war' years.
Through the work of the organisa
tion, new markets have been develop
ed and others . expanded until now
American tobacco growers are no
longer dependent'upon any one coun
try for the sale of their tobacco.
Countries such as Germany, the
Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark and
the Philippines, are now taking from
two to ten times more tobacco than
before the war.
The law authorizing marketing
quotas also provides for a govern
ment loan to support tobacco prices.
If marketing quotas are approved in
the referendum, loans will be made
available on the 1953 crop at prices
equal to 90 per cent of the Parity
prices as of July 1, 1952.
Since Tobacco Associates is fihaneed
solely by growers and their allied in
terests and the Marketing Quotas ad
ministered by the government-spon
sored Production and Marketing Ad
ministration, there will be-two ballot
boxes at the polls Referendum Day.
One box will be for the marketing
quota vote, which will show whether
the growers want marketing quotas
for another year, another three years
or not at alL " '
The other box will collect votes on
the lO-cent-pfer^acre self-assessment
4 for Tobacco Associates.
In both referendums, a two-thirds
majority of the grower* voting is
needed to approve quotas and the
assessment.
J. Henry Vaughan of Elm City,
chairman of Tobacco" Associates’
board of directors explained that a
grower “is any person who has an in
terest as owner, tenant, or share
- crooner in the 1062 croo of flue-cured
_ tobacco.’’ However, Vaughan stress
ed, “no producer is entitled to more
than one vote even though he may
have been engaged in production of
tobacco in two or more communities,
-counties, or states.”
