Wallace In Behalf Os Drive. Roxboro tobacco men and the Chamber of Commerce today be gan a concerted drive for an earlier opening for the local weed market. In a combined session this morning, warehousemen and Chamber of Commerce directors unanimously adopted a resolution addressed to Jim Ficklen, presi dent of the United States Tobacco association, urging that this mar ket, along with others in the Old Belt, be allowed to open on September 13 with Oxford and Durham and other members of the Middle Belt. A petition, signed by the pre sident and secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce and ev ery merchant and business man which could be reached, will be forwarded along with the re solution. The petition is being circulated today and tomorrow. Roxboro’s drive is being car. ried on simultaneously with «im. ilar drives in Danville, Winston. Salem and other members of tho Old Belt. A petition carrying the signs, tures of 30,000 farmers over the belt has already been circulated and this will be used to supple, ment the petition of merchants and business men in the various towns. Additional efforts for an ear lier opening were begun yester day in behalf of Person County farmers. S. G. Winstead, in a let ter to Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, attempted to solicit the government’s aid in securing relief for this county with an earlier opening. Person County’s tobacco crop, it is estimated, is at least a month ahead of schedule and this coun ty stands to lose considerable by being forced to wait until Sep. tember 27 before opening. The opinion was expressed by tobacco men in this morning’s session that more tobacco re mained in the hill in both Dur ham and Granville counties now . than in Person. Mr. Winstead estimated that the Roxboro market stood to lose ap proximately one third by being forced to wait for the Old Belt opening. The committee which drew up resolutions for the local market included S. G. Winstead, Melvin H. Burke, secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce, and George Walker, secretary of the Roxboro Tobacco Board of Trade.
