M 1 " * " ■ FARMERS MUST OR GANIZE TO MEET EMERGENCIES ' Tobacco Crisis Is Proof of This “Britain’s ban on Ameri can tobacco imports rocked every element of the flue cured industry, but for the farmer himself the crisis proved beyond doubt that unless farmers are fully or ganized they can never hope to overcome such eme rgencies when they arise,” 0. W. Deyton, Yancey Cou nty Farm Bureau President declared today. * As soon as the ban was announced, ' the North Carolina Farm Bureau and the. American Farm Bureau moved quickly to pave the way for resumption of Brit ish buying. Carl T. Hicks, 1 North Carolina Farm Bu reau Tobacco Committee Chairman, went to Wash ington immediately to meet with United States and British government offi cials in an effort to protect the interests of the many farmers who still had huge! amounts of tobacco unsold. The all-out efforts of the Farm Bureau” to restore British tobacco buying thro ugh the Commodity Credit Corporation or a similar agency emphasizes the ser iousness of the situation. The suddenness o?The Brit ish action makes more clear than ever the need for or ganized strength among farmers at all times, and the current campaign for 100,000 Farm Bureau mem-! bers in North Carolina pro-' vides the means for such ★ * j REWARD I i * * * * * * The Town of Burnsville will Pay a Reward of * ★ ■¥ * $ 25 - 00 for information sufficient to convict any } J Person guilty of wilful damage to the Town Meters | * * + { or any other Town property. * i ' i !

The British order to stop buying American tobacco for ‘an indefinite period’ is believed by agricultural leaders to mean the import ban will last until the Mar shall plan for aid to 16 Wes ■ tern European countries is put into effect, unless a Iplan is developed to finance their tobacco purchases in > this country. The adoption of the Mar • rshall plan would enable ' American farmers to stabi lize their production, but if ’; the farmers of this nation j ■jare to fit into the economic : :;picture of the future as J< j they should, they must be': s organized solidly. l The present Farm Bureau t Membership drive in the; t State gives North Carolina,' ‘ farmers an ideal means of < • getting together as they . never have been together in the past. Their success in the years to come, is wholly dependent upon the action they take during this criti cal period.
