TOBACCO CONTROL

the foreign countries. Unless we
use these factors to the best of our
ability, instead of our export mar
kets increasing, we will find them
on the decline. As I have illustrat
ed above, nothing can aid the grow
ers of our state to better continue
this progress made toward increas
ing yields and quality, than a con
trol program. Using the base years
1931, 1932, and 1933, the base years
established for flue-cured tobacco,
if planted could normally produce
20 to 25 per cent more tobacco
than the trade will consume at a
reasonable price to the producer.
On January 6, 1936, the tobacco
production adjustment contracts,
which werq an agreement between
the producer and the United States
government, were declared uncon
stitutional by the supreme court of
the United States. This locked the
wheels of progress for continued
cooperation of the growers with
their government for the year 1936.
It was our representatives in the
national congress that got together
and studied the situation with all
expert advice at hand and on Feb
ruary 29, 1936, the soil conservation
and domestic act was signed by the
President. This showed the world
through our representatives that
the farmers were not willing to
continue in an unorganized way.
To dat>e| 131,000 farming units of
North Carolina have grouped them
selves under the soil conservation
and domestic act.
It is true that the soil conserva
tion program is a voluntary pro
gram but it offers to tobacco grow
ers a greater assurance of reaching
the objectives in the problems lim
ited to farm income. The act recog
nizes the right of agriculture to
keep pace with the rate of progress
made by the nation as a whole. The
soil conservation program has the
bases of which are meas
ured by (1) their’treatment or use
of land for soil restoration, conser
vation, or erosion prevention, (2)
changes in the use of their lana,
(3) a percentage of their normal
production of one or more desig
nated commodities qqual to the nor
mal national percentage required
for domestic consumption. The to
bacco producer has the assurance
of the participation of the adminis
tration in Washington during the
temporary period of needed aid. He
also has the assurance of coopera
tion with states. It has the interest
of thq share-croppers, tenants, and

small producers protected. It also has
the interest of the consumer pro- J
tected. It has as its objective the
further expansion of markets and
the removal of surplus, which is so
necessary in the continued growth
of agriculture.
Realizing that the soil conserva
tion program would offer to the j
tobacco growers of the state, and i
other states, a greater flexibility
than any type of control program
that has been propose*’ up to the
present time, it will be very de
sirable if all of the growers would
cooperate with the soil conserva
tion program to the fullest extent,
without having a control program.
However, the leading tobacco grow
ers, the representatives in federal
congress are of the opinion that
there should be at hand a control
program that be operative
by a coordination of similar state acts
that would permit and add in the
enforcement of a control program
at and when such time should arise
that such program was needed. The
advantages in this control program,
better known as the state compact,
would be designed to control the
production only, then those coop
erating with the soil conservation
program would be in line with pro
duction, and at the santq time re
ceive what payments would be of
fered by the soil conservation pro
gram and not have to pay the tax
above the allotments assigned, as

those who disregard the soil con
servation program
The state compact as suggested
would be administered through
committees as the Kerr-Smith al
lotments were. The enforcement
would be made effective by the
regular state enforcement and of
ficers on a board set up for that;
purpose only.
From indication of expression
coming from the farm organiza
tions; namely the grange, farm bu
reau, and other farm organizations,
the tobacco growers will not be
asleep at the switch and when indi
cations are that thfeir interest is not
being protected, they will be heard
from in no uncertain terms. If I
can read correctly, the growers as
a whole are demanding reasonable
satisfactory prices, for an amount
of tobacco no greater than the trade
can consume at a reasonable price.
From this date on farmers realize
thq importance of raising their in
come to compare favorably with in
comes of other business with a like
investment of both capital, skill,
and experience. The tobacco farm
ers of this state and other tobacco
growing statqs do not ask any spe
cial favors of anyone. They do ask
the support of both state and fed
eral governments in the necessary
laws to have equal rights with in
dustry.

OCTOBER WORK ;

Growers Should Check Over Farm -1
at Once to See What Elsie They )
May Do. \
Under the soil-imp, ovement pro- *
gram, payment will be made for a 1
number of soil-building practices *
that can be carried out during the <
month of October. ■
These practices will b e especial- .
ly helpful to farmers who must da I
more soil-building work if they are j
to receive the full amount of pay- j
ments for which they are elegible, j j
said Dean I. O. Schuab, of State.- j
College.
Over the State, he added, there j
are many farmers who have acre
ages of soil-conserving crops that
make them eligible for more pay
ments than they have yet earned
with soil-building practices.
These growers should check over
their farms at once to see what
else they must d 0 to obtain the full
amout of their payments, the dean
pointed out.
He also stated that the payments
are only an additional inducement
for growers to do those things
which improve their land. The soil
building value of these practices is
worth far more than the payments.
For this reason, he said, growers
will benefit themselves by carrying
out more of these practices than
