ers Urge Support of Grow ers; 700 Estimated at Mass
Meeting in Audito rum of High School

Some 700 or more farmers of Vance
county attended a meeting in the au
ditorium of Henderson high school
Friday night, listened to a detailed ex-
PLANTATION of the new crop control law
by E. Y. Floyd, of N. c. State College,
AAA administrator for North Caro-
lima. and then heard earnest appeals
by several other speakers that they
vote affirmatively for control in the
cotton and tobacco referenda through
out on next Saturday, March II.
So far as could be learned from ex-
pressions of the group, control is Ger
tain to be carried by large majority
in Vance county.
J. w. Sanders, who presided at the
meeting, announced that the polls
would be open from 8 a. m. to Z y
M. there will be no absentee voting
and no voting ty proxy, that every
one must appear in person to cast HI;
or her ballot One individual could
vote only one time, no matter how
many farms he may own, and if he
owns farms in several different parts
of the county, he must vote in the
locality where he lives, the county
agent said.
w. e. Fenner Rocky Mount ware
houseman and farmer, spoke IN an
earnest appeal to the growers to ratlfy
the control agreement March Il, and
declared "this is the most critical test
the farmers have ever faced" There is
only one issue at stake, he said, and
that is whether the farmers want to
i l. 70 h,>
eight and ten cents tobacco of 1881
and 1882, or whether they want to
have control and receive prices for
their crops about in keeping with aver
ages obtaining for the past few
seasons.
Mr.. Fenner got a round of applause
for President Roosevelt when he men
toned improvement in conditions
during the Roosevelt administration
as compared with what they were
when he came into office. "Tll never
go back on him. Fenner said. He said
the money lending agencies are for
control because they know farmers
note is worth moe when the crop is
smaller and prices higher. He BELT
tied the claim that a reduction in the
flue-cured crop would result in foreign
nations growing flue-cured tobacco
and taking the American market. He
said there was something in tobacco
in this section that there was nowhere
else in the world.
Short talks were made by w. F.
