P»tfe Pour THE PILOT, Southern Pines, North Carolina Friday, Aug;ust 29, 1941 MARKETING QUOTA' IS SET ON WHEAT, Commissioner Agent Advises Planning Now for 1942 Plantings, Before Wheat Referendum By E. H. GARKISOX, JK County Agont A wheat marketing quota for 1942 has been proclaimed by Secretary of Agriculture, Claude R. WicUard, and growers should make plans now for 1942 planting, before seeding time. The 1942 national acreage allotment of 55 millions acres was announced May 22, 1941, and most farmers have already been notified of their indivi dual allotments. The date for the wheat referendum will be set in the .spring, as soon as the condition of the 1942 crop can be determined. A quota is now in effect on the 1941 crop as a result of the 81 per cent approval voted in the referendum on May 31 of this year. “The wheat supply in sight for, 1942-43 leaves no doubt that a quota; would have to be proclaimed next spring,” R. M. Evans, National AA.\ Administrator, said. ‘'The carry-over we will have on hand July 1, 1942, as a result of our above-normal yielas and reduced exports, is going to be the largest on record for the United States and a 1941 crop even as low as 358 million bushels would bring the supply up to the quota level. "The large supply puts a real chal lenge before wheat farmers. It is a challenge to wor ktogether to adjust acreage and to hold the price-de pressing surplus off the market un til it is needed. The result of such cooperation in the national program is very clear today. American wheat farmers face the same problems con fronting wheat growers in other ex porting countries, but nowhere have the farmers as affective and as dem ocratic a program to protect the’r prices. American farmers are getting far better prices for their 1941 crop than farmers in any other wheat ex porting country.” The 1942-43 supply used in the quota determination is estimated at 1,300 million bushels. This includes the estimated July 1, 1942 carryover of 640 million bushels, and a 1942 wheat crop estimated at 660 mil lion bushels on the basis of a nor mal yield on the 55-million-acre na tional acreage allotment. A normal year's domestic consumption and ex ports amount to 739 million bushels. This is made up of an average domes tic consumption of 90 million bush els and exports of 49 million bushels for the 10-year period ending June SO, 1942.

Home Agent Suggests Planting Vegetables •Miss McDonald Sees Greater Isteed for Garden Crops, with Defense Emergency Because of the emergency situation I and defense needs, more vegetables ire needed on the farm than ever be- ' fore, declared Miss Flora McDonald, -VIoore County Home Demonstration \gent, this week. “V’egotables are vital to adequate .lutrition,” Miss McDonald said, "and many vegetables can be planted now to meet needs this fall, winter and lext spring.” Some of the garden drops which can be planted now were listed by Miss McDonald as purple top and seven top turnips, dwarf essex rape, Siberian or , dwarf Scotch curl kale, southern' giant curl mustard, spinach mustard tendergreen, and Georgia or cabbage collards. Carrots, beets and cabbage may also be included. One Woman on Lists; That’s Mrs. C. C.

C. is to divide a limited market equit- obly among all growers and to pro tect wheat prices and income by koeoing part of the surplus off the market until needed. Since producers who plant within their acreage al lotments have made their adjustment at seeding time, they continue to market their entire production in the normal manner. Producers who ovei- -seed their allotments are called upon under the quota to make an adjust ment in marketings the same as the cooperator made in seedings. Only the smaller of the normal or actual yield of their excess acreage is sub ject to penalty. However, the penal ty may be postponed if the excess wheat is kept off the market and stored under bond, or it may be avoid ed if wheat is taken out of mar ket channels by delivery to the Gov ernment for relief use- Producers who store excess wheat in 1941 also have the privilege in 1942 to take out of storage and market without pen alty excess wheat equal to the amount by which 1942 seedings are reduced below the acreage allotment, measured in terms of normal yield, or equal to the amount the 1942 pro duction falls below the normal yield of the acreage allotment. The marketing penalty, which is in tended to discourage marketing of excess wheat, is related to the loan rate, the law specifying a penalty of 50 percent of the basic loan rate, marketing 1941. basic average loan rate quota level of 998 million bushels. If i cents, rr;aking a penalty rate of between now and the fall of 1942 Pilot Advertising Pays. the supply of wheat should fall 5 percent below the quota level, the Act provides that the quota must be lifted. The purpose of a marketing quota 49 cents. Since the quota serves to protect the value of loan collateral, the Act provides that no Government loans can be made on the 1942 wheat crop I if the marketing quota is voted down. Old Moore Schoolhouse Now Has Classrooms Crowded With 7,000 The old Acom Ridge grade school, up beyond Hemp, is undoubtedly the most crowded schoolhouse in the State. Its four rooms have around 7.000 occupants, with a class being graduated every 10 weeks. This abandoned Moore County school isn’t graduating school chil dren, however; it graduates biddies | from coop to dining room table- The class rooms which, until a year ago,! contained several elementary grades, | are now the fattening grouhds for, 7.000 chickens. | When E. A. Hussey, who has been! marketing chickens and turkeys in' these parts for some years, decided t<5. raise chickens, he bought from the | county the abandoned Acorn Ridge | School, piped it with heating units,; put in an old sawmill boiler, and | shipped in a lot of day-old biddies to start them on their way to broiling ovens. Last week, the first of his barred rocks were ready for eating, and ever to one of his bams they went, to be prepared for market. Besides the barred rocks and reds, which he is raising for sale, he’s got one class room filled with strutting white leg horns, soon to be a source of eggs. With nothing to do but eat, drink and chirp merrily, the school occu pants manage to peck up over 1,000 pounds of mash and com feed per day, and they keep the electric pump, which pulls water out of the old school well, chugging constantly to send enough water to allay their thirst. After the present enrollment of 7,- 000 are cleaned out and aired, and Young ’Uns Earl Dunlap, young s»'n of John R. Dunlap, route 2 Hemp, makes friends with a four-munth-old mule colt of his daddy's. Both Earl and the colt plan to be at the Hemp Livestock Show, although the colt will be the only one up for exhibit. The animal was exactly four months old the day the picture was taken. school will lie idle for two weeks, while it gets scrubbed and aired, ann a new enrollment will be made. ‘‘None of this business of letting a school lie idle four months of the year,” declared Mr. Hussey. “I'm go- 999 are cleaned out and sold, the Uig to keep tbis plant going.” WELCOME TO HEMP!
