Tobacco Still
N. C. King
Another crop of North Caro
lina's famous "Golden Weed" -s
.oiling to market on the Border
Belt with other markets schedul
ed to open in the next fewr weeks.
Roy Bennett, extension tobacco
specialist at North Carolina State,
believes this is a good time for
North Carolinians t o remind
hem selves of what tobacco means
to the state.
Bennett cited these examples:
The Tar Heel toc.acco cr id 1
ells for about $330 to $530 mil*
lion annually. This is about 48 to
50 per cent of our total cash
farm income, although tobacco
occupies only about 9 per cent of
our land.
Over 200.000 farm families
receive part or most of their in
come from tobacco. More than
10.000 factory workers share in a
$160 million annual payroll. Sale*
of North Carolina tobacco manu
facturers amount to over $3 bil
lion annually.
Bennett cited the following ex
amples to show what tobacco
means in terms of off-farm pur
chases for supplies and services.
Tar Heel tobacco farmers spend
about $21 million annually for
curing fuel. Thev spend about $24
million for fertilizer and another
$20 million for cron insurance.
They pay out $16 million in
waiehouse commissions, about
$15 million for chemicals and a
bout $2 million for plant bed cov
ers.
It even takes $1.6 million worth
of thread to tie the crop for cur
ing. The crop is grown from
$800,000 worth of seed.
Bennett points out that these
figures do not include the cost of
machinery, interest on capital
and many other costs.
“It seems reasonable that North
Carolina should support new In
dustrie*.” Bennett said. “We need
to produce new commodities and
have new enterprises to use our
land, labor and other resources.”
At the same time, he added, we
must recognize that new indus
tries will also bring new pro
blems. and that such industries
will have to be supported and
fostered or they will fail.
Just as we support new indus
try. Bennett believes it is impor
tant that North Carolina remain
united *n supporting the tobacco
industry.
