Voters can vote for the end of controls, for. controls' for one year, of for continuation of controls for three mre years.' The i Same alternatives are true with regards Tobacco Associates. Farm leaders in this part of the country are urging a strong vote in favor of retention of the controls for the full three year period and evidence points to’ an overwhelming vote for just that. The leaders want a full vote out as well as a big majority fo/ con trols since they want a big .par ticipation to show that the to bacco farmer is taking an active interest'in his economic well be ing and not accepting controls from a negative point of view. In Lenoir and Jones counties, meetings have been held in which organizations were set up aimed toward getting the maxi mum vote out in favor ofr the 'controls. Committees for each ^township in the two counties have been active for the past two weeks and these two coun ties hid fair to have a1 big .pro portion of their eligible voters out and voting in'favor of the two propositions included in the referendum. t Questions on who is eligible to vote have arisen and it has been pointed out by farm officials that any person who shares in the flue-cured tobacco crop this year (1949), either as owner, op#, rator. sharecropper or tenant is entitled to vote.
