Washington.—A genersilly un
favorable outlook for flue-cured
tobacco during the 1940-41 sea
son was reported Monday 'by the
Department of Agriculture on the
eve of the capital parley on pro
posed amendments to the AAA
tobacco program.
Abnormally large prospective
supply and reduced export outlets
are the major factors in the
gloomy picture forecast for flue-
oured tobacco growers by the
department.
Reduced exports and the large
1939 production of 1,132,400,000
pounds are expected to result in
flue-cured slocks as of July 1 to
taling 1,450.000,000. This Is
more than 53 per cent larger than
fluecured stocks a year earlier.
These facts will be reflected In
the meeting Wednesday at which
the entire legislative program for
flue-cured tobacco is to be thrown
open tor discussion. Growers,
farmer representatives, mem'bers
of Congres.s from all flue-cured
tobacco areas, and other interest
ed individuals are expected to
participate in the meeting.
The piano pupils of Miss Ellen
Robinson will be presented in a
recital in the auditorium at 3:30
Thursday afternoon, April 4th.

There was an eminent lawyer
in New York, years ago, who was ^
fond of displaying his legal learn- •,
ing, especially to members of his
office staff. He was not too proud
to give even the office boy the
benefit of his wisdom and his
experience.
Someone asked the boy;
“How .much does your boss pay
you?”
The boy said, “Ten thousand
dollars a year."
“What, ten thousand a year for
an office boy?’’
“Yes,” said the boy, “Four dol
lars a week in cash and the rest
in legal advice."
