Control Discussed
The Farm Bureau of North Car
olina called a state wide hurley
meeting which was held in the
Buncombe County Courthouse on
January 21. The purpose of the
meeting was to explain the bur
ley situation as it stands today,
and what farmers may face in
the future,
About twenty people attended
the meeting from Yancey County,
including Mack B. Ray and Paul
Laughrun of the FHA; E. L. Dill
ingham, county agent; Fred Ang
lin, ASC; W. O. Briggs, Rex Mc-
Intosh, Carlie Rice and John Ran
dolph of the Yancey County Farn
Bureau.
Oral Yates and Will Rogers o
State Farm Bureau were presen
at the meeting.
Frank Ellis, tobacco specialis
|of the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.,
was on hand to explain the advan
tages of bpth poundage and acre
age control *and to explain how
to establish a base poundage for
each allotment for each farm. Mr.
Ellis stated that the base pound
age would be established by using
the three high years for each
farm during the past six years,
1950-55, with a maximum limit of j
125 percent of the county yield
and a minimum of 80 percent of
the county yield. The “Base
Poundage Allotment” is the
poundage obtained by multiplying
the base acreage allotment by the j
yield per acre, *.
Yancey County farms would
have a base poundage of 1600
, pounds to 2500 pounds per acre!
depending on the farm yield. |
Mr. Ellis pointed out that the
Department of Agriculture was
• not trying to sell tobacco farmers
this kind of acreage ebntrol for
■ hurley, but that he wanted to ex
- plain how it would work in, case
' that a control like this might
come about. He stated that at the
rate of increasing yields in bur
■ ley that a. control of this type may
• be put before farmers In the near
1 future. Any change would have to
1 go before Congress and be voted
on by farmers to become a law.

presented the Governor a leather bound copy. *
Millions of people all over the
country will be reading about
North Carolina today with the

of Holiday Magazine. In a lengthy
article written by a native author
Ovid Williams Pierce, the state is
featured as "Mother of seascapes
and lofty peaks, of hard-working
,cities and mountaineer villages
and high-minded universities.”
The article interprets North
Carolina's present day prosperity
in terms of its three geographic
regions and the people native to
each area. Although these three

piedmont and the mountains,
were once geographically inde
pendent, their very differences

ian Church. A presentation of
world-wide Christian enterprise
and how it is related to world
problems and how it modifies pre
j vailing trends, leaving , its impact

according to the author, “North
Carolina today has attained a
degree of wholeness, a unity in
its differences that is rare far
any state.”
North Carolina’s western re
gion, Mr. Pierce writes, holds the
greatest attraction for tourists.
This is particularly true since the

heavily-forested often cloud-wrap

combe, Haywood and others. Ac
cording to reliable information
hunters, sportsmen, farmers, aa
well as the general public, appre
ciate this program when carried
out properly. The success of the
program will readily depend ur/n
the individual who administers
the program. This is true in any
business or profession. A very
courteous, wide-awake individual
who is conscientious and mixes
well with people can do a real job.
In the first place the County
Dog Warden’s work will be ediir
cational. He will advise people
about their dogs, help them locate
lost dogs, find homes for surplus
dogs where posible and never jgo
out destroying dogs as some peo
ple might misleads the general
public into thinking. Dogs will
only be destroyed after being
properly impounded for a period
of time and when an owner or
new home cannot be found. Gen
eral Statute 67-32, which is quoted
below, authorizes this program in
North Carolina and shows how the
program may be administered.
G. S. 67-32. Pound; disposition
of impounded dogs. The board of
county commissioners in each
county in which a county dog
warden is appointed under this
Act shall establish and maintain
a dog pound in each county, the
same to be under the supervision
of the couiity dogjvarden, for the
jmrpose'of impounding lost and
stray dogs for a period to be de
termined by the board of county
commissioners during which time
the county dog warden shall make
every reasonable effort to locate
and give notice to the owners of-r
such dogs, or if such owners can
not be located, to find new own
ers for such dogs. The dog ward
en shall keep a permanent pound
record of the date on which each
dog is impounded, and if at the
end of the holding period to be
determined by the board of com
missioners such dogs remain un
claimed by their owners or by
prospective owners, such dogs are
to be destroyed in a humane man
ner, under the direct supervise
of the county dog warden. An
claiming or redeeming a dog at
the pound will be required to pay
the actual cost oi beeping the do-,
in the pound, as well as any In
due, before any such dog may b
released. (Amended \
The Yancey County Agrfictiltur
al Council is convinced’’that with
our small farms something must
be done to increase our farm in
come if our farm families are to
remain on their farms. We must
find new sources of income. Sheep
growing appears to be the sound
est prospect since we already
have a good ready market for
lambs and wool, and sheep can
3asily be added to most of our
farms with a little extra cost of
fencing. This is the only major
livestock project that you can ex
pect to clear with a profit in rnt
years operation. Within 5 years
we can have a million dollar sheep
industry in Yancey County that
will pay annually to our farmers _
an income as great as payroll
from a large industry or factory.
This program, if put Into opera
tion, wilt not-raise taxes. The op
eration of the program will be
paid from the proceeds of the
county dog tax.
