Hoke County growers have ^
$1,100,000 stal^e i. the flue-cured
tobacco referenduf Saturday, July
12.
*
This is the amount they receiv
ed for their tobacco that was ex
ported in 1946 and represents 40
per cent of the $2,750,000 Hoke
growers received for their crop
last year.
N. H. G Balfour, Lumber Bridge,
County Farm Bureau President,
today .urged all flue-cured farmers
to get out and vote Saturday, as he
disclosed these important facts.
“In qthe.r words,” Balfour said,
“40 cents out of every dollar tob
acco brings to growers must come
from sales to other countries. The
referendum will determine whe
ther the farmers are willing to
assess themselves 10 cents per
acre--or aibout 4^ cents per year
for the average producer during
the next three years. That market
meant $200 per acre or almost
$1,000 to every flue-cured grower
last year.”
Balfour revealed that the 896
Hoke County farms produced 5
200,000 poundh of flue-cured tob
acco from 4,503 acres last year.
“If two-thirds of the farmers
voting in the referendum Satur
day approV J the assessment, “Bal
Touc/.&aij||. “tt btoad three-year
program will be stepped up imm
ediately. Tobacco Associates, a
nonprofit organization formed to
administer the program, is already
operating, with the full cooper
ation of the farm bureau, the Gr
ange, the State College Extension
Service and tobacco allied inter
ests.”
Balfour emphasized that )lhe
security of a healthy foreign mar
ket is vital to everyone lixirig in
the flue-cured belt and added that
the program is endorsed by bank
ets, warehousemen, and alf other
businessmen.
■The following North Carolina
toibacco and business leaders, all
directors of Tobacco Associates,
are taking a leading part in the
drive to “get out the vote” Satur
day: T. W. Allen, Creedmoor;
Claude T. Hall, 'Woodsdale; P. N.
Taylor, White Plains; J. H. Vau
ghn, Elm City; J. E. Winslow, W.
H. Woolard, J. H. Blount and J-
H. Ficklin, all of Greenville; H.
P. Foxhall, Tarboro, and Edwin
Pate- Laurinburg. J. B. Hutson
former U. S. Under-Secretary of
Agriculture, is president of Tob
acco Associates, and E. Y? Floyd,
Raleigh, a tobacco farmer and
director of the Plant Food Insti
tute of North Carolina and Vir
ginia, is secretary.
These and other leaders throu
ghout the belt realize that only by
a large vote in the referendum
will flue-cured producers impress
National and International govern
ment and trade authorities of the
seriousne^ of tobacco export pr
oblems. Every grower in the flue-
cured tobacco belt is urged to vote
Saturday, July 12.
