Nations Burley Growers Favor
Marketing Quotas For '38 Crop
Farmers in AShe And Watauga
Counties, However, Vote
Against Proposal.

Bt an overwhelming majority of
about 10 to /, the hurley tobacco
growers in the IA states in which
the fair-cured weed is raised, last
Saturday voted in favor of estab-
fishing marketing quotas on this
years crop.
The vote in Ashe and Watauga
counties, however, was an entirely
different story and the growers in
North Carolina's II hurley produc-
ing counties only voted about 4 to
for the proposal. The final count
in Ashe was 800 for and 388 against.
In Watauga 2SS voted against the
measure and l39 for it. OF the II
western Carolina counties, Graham
was the only one to 60 against the
crop control plan. Its count was 81
for and 189 against.
The referendum was held in Ohio,
Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Virginia,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, South Carolina, North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and
Oklahoma.
AS two-thirds Of the total hurley
farmers voted in favor of the crop
control program, the proposal will
be effective on this years crop and
the AAA will apply marketing pro-
visions of the new farm law to limit
sales of the hurley crop to 305, 000,-
900 pounds, a decrease of about
1OO, 100000 pounds below last years
production.
