TOBACCO GROWERS
TO VOTE JULY II
Will Decide On Ten Cent
Assessment For Export
Promotion

North Cardinals flue-cured to-
bacco growers are scheduled to
go to the polls July IL to vote on
the issue of whether they favor
an assessment of ten cents per
acre for the purpose of promoting
the export trade of their product.
Director I. o. Schaub of the State
College Extension service yester-
day explained the salient points
of the special balloting, which will
affect every person in the state
occupied with the production of
nue-cured tobacco.
Authorized by the 1947 session
of the state General Assembly,
the referendum has been called
by the directors Of newly organized
Tobacco Associates, Inc, for every
county in North Carolina where
flue-cured tobacco is produced.
The annual assessment of ten cents
per acre will be effective on the
1947, 1913, and 1919 crops, Director
Schaub pointed out, if the measure
is approved.
A register of eligible voters will
be prepared by county and COM
munity committeeman, and opera
tors of farms on which flue-cured
tobacco is being produced this
year are asked to list with these
officials the names and addresses
of all persons sharing in the PRO
ceeds of such crops.
The eligibility of any person to
vote may be challenged if his
name is not recorded on a regis.
tration list.
Growers will be required to vote
in the community in which they
live, unless no polling place is
provided there. In this case, they
may cast their ballots at the near.
est place.
Another exception is allowed fo1
a grower who may not be in his
home community or county on the
day of the balloting. He may Obtain
a ballot at the most conveniently
located polling place and cast il
by signing his name to it anc
mailing it to the office of the
county agricultural conservation
committee of the county in which
he is a grower.

In Life OF Machinery

Kept busy preparing and' planting
the land-new machinery and re-
placement parts are still scarce
and expensive, SO the farmer must

such as the modern automobile,

instances with no fabrication what.
ever.
Consequently, farmers are prone
to consider fabrication lightly
until suddenly they realize the
machine is worn out long before
it's normal span of usefulness; and
only a new machine, or expensive
repairs to the old n can put the
equipment back INTO service.
The length of life and freedom
from trouble of any farm imple-
ment is determined largely by the
fabrication it receives. The ex-
pense and time invested in good
fabrication pay large dividends.
For horse-drawn equipment, the
practice of gong over the machine
with the oil can once or twice
daily has prolonged the life OF
many farm tools; but with the
coming of high-speed, tractor
drawn machines, the oil can will
no longer answer the fabrication
problem.
The pressure gun method OF lu-
bricating farm machinery IS posi-
tive and is superior to lubrlca
ton through oil holes and grease
cups. Pressure grease fabrication
not only forces the lubricant into
the bearing, but forces out the
old dirty gritty grease through the
ends of the bearings and forms
a protective collar or dust seal for
the bearing.
Chassis grease or lubricants OF
sticky consistency cling to bear
ing surfaces better than Oil, and
will not be washed out as readl-
ly by rain and water.
Farm machinery has progress
ed a long way from the "axle
grease era, and no longer car
a moeer farmer operate success
fully with a bucket of axle grease
and an oil can.
Effective fabrication must keer
the metal surfaces apart continual
". In other words, the OIL OF
crease film must not fail. By care
full and proper fabrication, frlc'
tion is reduced, bearing surfaces
are protected and the ravages Of
weather reduced to a MINIMUM
The purchase of proper lubrl
cants and good l%ubricating equip
ment is a wise and sound invest
ment for every owner and operator
of farm machinery.

PAINT PROTECTS
FARM BUILDINGS
Prevents Decay And Rust
As Well AS Improves
Appearance

While it may be true that the
quality Of paint is not quiet as
good as it would be in normal
times, it is still good enough to
make the painting of farm build.
ings a fine investment.
Not only will the appearance
OF the farm be greatly improved.
but also the actual protection of
the wood and metal from decay
and rust will more than pay for
the money, time and effort spent
for painting.
In general, only the best quality
OF paint should be used. The cost
OF painting consists of the cost OF
the paint and the cost of the labor.
1t takes just as much labor to
put on poor paint as it does to
put on good paint. The life OF
good paint is many times that
OF poor paint, and usually the ap.
pearance and protection are much
better when good paint is used.
Preparation
The directions on the containers
should be followed exactly. Per
haps one of the greatest mistakes
made in painting is failure tc
stir and mix the paint thoroughly
This should be done over and over
until absolute uniformity is obtain
ed, because a much better pain
job will result if complete mixing
is done.
Preparation of the surface fol
painting is also important. All
old paint should be carefully
brushed SO that looose particles
and fine powder are removed. Il
this material is painted over il
will result in a poor job with les!
protection and a shorter life
Usually more than one coat is re
quired and the method for mixing
for each coat, as described on the
container, should be carefully fol
lowed.
Painting should never be done
in damp or rainy weather. Fol
lowing any rain at all, allow a
least two full days of strong sun
shine. When the pores OF Woo
are filled with moisture, tne woo'
is not in a condition to make tn
best use of the paint upon it.
Paint brushes should be care
fully selected and very CAREFUL,
preserved. They are hard to get
very expensive, and should b.
taken care of well. Any hardwar'
dealer can give full directions TO
caring for paint brushes.

It is the opinion of agricultural
economists, Scott said, that a de-

consumption than on cigars.
This is important in view OF
the fact that North Carolina pro-
duces Ct per cent of all flue-cured

He said that a decline in con-
sumer income might cause some
smokers to shift to pipes and cut
tobacco for hand-rolled cigarettes
,-oespite the fact that cigarette
nrices have not advanced as much
above wartime levels as have
nrices of most other items.

is based largely On the produc-

TOMATO DEVELOPED

strain of tomato-proof against the
late blight fungus and not merely
resistant" to it's likely to be
made available to growers in the
near future, according to Daniel
M. Click, world famous seed
grower of Smoketown, Pa.
Click recently made a tour OF
the Glades and East Coast sec
tons of Florida where he studied
the late blight situation which has
become so serious.
"Last season we had several
new types of tomatoes growing on
our farms which showed special
promise in this direction-immuni
ty to the late blight fungus" Click
said. land these have been de-
veloped by our plant specialists"
He indicated that the immune
type of tomato might be announc-
ed at any time during 1947.
Click Seed Farms at Smoketown
are credited by Florida growers
with having saved the uat
once before, several years ago,
by announcing new types OF to-
matoes which were virtually I'M
mune to nail-head rust. Up to that
time, rust had threatened to wipe
out the tomato industry in Florida
and other states.
Click stated that since virtual.
" all methods for control OF
the late blight have failed, a ne"
strain which is immune to the
fungus is the only answer: He IN
dicated that his organization now
may have just such an immune
type of tomato, already worked
out, although seed for this STRAIN
would be scarce for many years.
