1,950 Cotton Crop
One Os Smallest
Since Year 1885
Only 1945 and 1946 Har
vests Less Than Cur
rent Year
Farmers this year are expected to
harvest the smallest cotton acreage
since 1885, with the exception of the
1945 and 1946 harvests.
That’s what the Department of
Agriculture says in a report received
by Congressman Herbert C. Bonner.
The harvest acreage for this year is
estimated at 18,366,000 acres. That’s
33 per cent less than last year’s har
vest acreage of over 27,000,000 acres.
Acreage reductions resulted from
reinstatement of cotton acreage allot
ments and marketing quotas.
North Carolina’s acreage this year
is reported to be 34 per cent lower
than last year’s 869,000 acres. That
gives North Carolina a 1950 acreage
of 570,000. The average for 1939-
1948 was 750,000.
According to the Agriculture report,
the number of boll weevils emerging
this spring was the heaviest on record,
Mr. Bonner said. The infestation re
sulted in an intensive and widespread
poisoning campaign.

Guam Discussed

used quite frequently.
Speaking of the Guamanian Bars,
Mrs. Ballenger said that the only
thing about them to remind us of
the States are such names as the Co
coanut Grove, Brown Derby and the
Surf Club and, of course, the ever
popular “juke box.”
“Guam came out of the war with the
appreciable idea that industry was a
full-time job. But the idea was not
enough, she said. Today with the
help of the U. S. Navy, Guamanians
may point with pride to recently com
pleted gleaming white buildings which
house the Guam Congress and the
Police Department. These, are a few
items of construction in a program
not entirely completed yet, one which
qualifies Guam as a center of advance
ment.
“Since 1898 Guam has been under
naval government. However, in Sep
tember, 1949, the island changed its
y traditional suit of navy ‘whites’ for
civilian attire when the Honorable
Careton A. Skinner was appointed by
President Truman to serve as Guam’s
first civilian governor.
“A recent survey showed that 42
states and four foreign countries were
represented by school student?. This
past season registration reached an
all-time high of 9,000 pupils. There
are 22 schools on the island, only two
of which are American.”

Two delightful solos were rendered
during the evening by Miss Carolyn
Elliott, who sang “Je Buis Litania,” by
Thomas, and Miss Carolyn Swindell,
who sang “One Kiss,” by Romberg,
with Miss Susan Thigpen at the piano.
A social hour was enjoyed with Mrs.
Irene Ruffin and Miss Inez Felton at
the punch bowl.
Mrs. Ballenger also spoke very in
terestingly about Guam at the Rotary
