OTHERS VIEWS
REMEDY ON TOBACCO

To the Editor: Again the colossal
farce of selling" tobacco is in prog
1ess. Again those for and against
crop control" are heard in every
town and hamlet. Both advocates
and opponents of control are aroused
by the low prices, and last Saturday
meetings were addressed by AAA and
Farm Bureau officials in a so-called
effort to find the cause" and "possi~
BILE remedy for the low prices. It is
not reported that either was discOv-
cred. The cause" is the same as ever
and as every grower and AAA and
Farm Bureau official knows-greed
on the part of the tobacco monopoly;
unwillingness to pay living price for
a product which it controls entirely
So far the crop control program
has succeeded only in charging great
.ly the number of liars and decoivers
among both the farmers who grow the
weed and those officials who are in
charge of the allotment of acreage
and poundage. Favoritism ,discrim-
nation and unjust decisions have
caused a number of suicides, and
hardship and poverty for numerous
others.
Crop control was and is a beautiful
theory, but as at present administer
ed it is entirely useless for the pur
pose for which it was created-to OBJ
tain for the farmer a fair price for
his product. Government grading was
promised as a sure cure for low and
unequal prices. I followed the buy
= orc nm, a foi f1nnV, 10 nd
in a distance of so baskets which the
government grader had marked I dis
covered variations in the price on the
same grade of tobacco from % cents
on one basket to Is cents on several
Of what possible benefit is govern
ment grading outside of providing
more "white-collar" jobs at taxpayers
expense?
l. Crop control at present only con-
trolls the farmer-most of them to
continued hardship, poverty and
bare existence. If the government is
really DESTROYS of controlling tobacco
so that the growers will get living
wage let the government grade all the
tobacco on every warehouse floor;
then have a committee of several ex-
perts from the growers, the COM
panies and the government set a fair
price for each grade. Let the govern
ment build warehouses and then tel,
the tobacco companies that the tcbac-
co is for sale at the price set. Let the
government make loans on tobacco as
1t does on cotton. And if the toaacc0
companies refuse to buy at the price
set, let the government .confiscate
the tobacco factories and run them
for the benefit of the government This
government has already told the to-
bacco companies through the Wage
and Hour law what they must pay
their laborers, and how many hours
they can work them and through the
! he llth boards under what conditions
they can work.
Now if Mr.. Roosevelt's pipedream is
to be of any benefit to the farmer let
The government take him (the farm
err from the clutches of the mos
rapacious monopoly known in Ameri
ca and guarantee him a fair price
for histobacco. Then control pro-
duction. The farmers will attend to
hours and other conditions.

Shell Gas Is
Distributed
By Kirkland

Shell gasoline and lubricatlng oils
and Firestone tires and tubes are dis
tributed in Henderson and the four
county area of Vance, Granville, War
rem and Franklin counties by 0. T.
Kirkland Mr.. kirkland has had the
agency representation in this territory
only about year, but during tina
time has greatly increased the sal
and consumption of these products ir
this section.
Shell gasoline and oils and F'irestone
tires and tubes are no strangers tC
the kirkland territory. Nor is he I'M
known in the area. He has been in
Henderson in the gasoline and tire
business over a period of years, and
is widely known to the trade. He has
won the confidence and esteem of the
business community and motorists in
general.
The fact that Shell and Firestone
sales have increased steadily in the
territory in the past year or more is
a tribute to the hard work and bust
ness management of Mr.. kirkland and
his associate, B. p. Rose. Mr.. Rose IS
a Henderson man, and, while he has
been away for several years, has at
the same time spent most of his life
in business in this community and
section. He numbers his acquain-
tances in city and county, as well as
the outside region, by the thousands,
and his geniality and sales ability
have added much to the kirkland or
ganiZation.
New Shell outlets are being opened
gradually in the four-county district.
some of the more desirable localities
in the city of Henderson have been
occupied by this company, and a
growing business has justified invest
ment of funds in promoting and ex-
panding Shell and Firestone sales.
Mr.. kirkland devotes his entire time
to the business which he has taken
over. Growth during the period has
embraced sales of these major pro-
ducts and the constantly expanding
number of outlets Users of Shell pro-
ducts and Firestone tires and tubes
have found them highly satisfactory.
