Details of the new Federal farm
program will be explained to farm
ers and others interested at a meet
ing to be held here on Friday, April
3, according to announcement today
from N. c. State College, which will
send experts here to outline the new
act. In the meantime, J. w. Sand
ers, county farm agent, will attend a
meeting of county agents at State
College next Monday and Tuesday
for an intensive and exhaustive study
of the new tobacco sign-up program
for the state.
Meetings similar to the one here
will be held on Thursday, April 2, in
Franklin county, and on Saturday,
April 4, will be held in Granville and
Warren counties, according to the an
nouncement.
Details of the new farm program
will be presented to North Carolina
farmers in series of mass meetings
to be held in 95 counties, beginning
March 26.
Seven teams from the State College
agricultural extension service will be-
gin in the east and work west until
the entire State has been covered,
said Dean I. O. Schaub, director of
the extension service.
In the tobacco growing counties, he
added, the speakers will also stress
the Importance of united action by
the growers to control production I'M
der the voluntary contracts and the
State compact plan, if the latter is
adopted.
The farm agent in each county has
been instructed to arrange for the
meetings and invite vocational teach
ers, home agents, other agricultural
leaders, and every farmer to be pre-
sent.
County and community committees
will meet with the farm agents in the
morning prior to the mass meeting
to be held in the afternoon
When possible, the dean said, the
mass meetings will be held in the
courthouses. Otherwise, the farm
agents will select a suitable and con-
venient place.

have been studying the situation.
Three-Fold Program.
The three-fold plan as recommended
by the governor and approved by the
tobacco men and farm leaders here,
briefly is as follows:
l. TO work for the interstate pact
plan for controlling tobacco produc-
ton in the tobacco growing states and
for the enactment by Congress of a
law validating State pacts.
2. To push an immediate and volun-
tary sign-up campaign among tobacco
farmers in all the tobacco growing
states to limit production in 1886 to
70 per cent of the old AAA basic al
lotment
3. To work for the allotment of at
least $50,O00,O0O from the soil conser-
walton appropriation to be used in
paying tobacco farmers for planting
soil improving crops instead of tobac-
co, and which should be enough to
pay them bonus of about cents a
pound on all the tobacco they pro-
duce if not in excess of the 70 per
cent VI lie UdSlC acreage dllOCIIl0uI.
Ready To Call Session.
Governor Ehringhaus reiterated to-
day, as he did to the tobacco meeting
here Tuesday and again last week,
that if and when Congress passed the
necessary premissive act validating
State pacts, he will call a special ses-
sion of the North Carolina General
Assembly to pass a state pact law, es-
pecially if in the mean time South
Carolina passes such an act. But there
is still great doubt in the minds of
many tobacco men and others fami-
liar with the tobacco problem if a
state pact law, without these other adj
juncts, would prove of much value In
reducing the 1896 tobacco crop, even
if Congress and South Carolina even
tually act. At any rate, most of the
tobacco farmers. seem in favor Of go
ing ahead with the second and third
points of the Ehringhaus plan with
out waiting for Congress and South
Carolina.
