President Expected To Sign Quota Amendments Soon As Fealureei in CHARM Magazine RAY’S OF ROBBINS, Inc. RobbinSa N. C. Representative C. B. Deane, who' has actively supported and been one of the strong advocates in Washington of amendments to the 1950 assigned cotton acreage quota law, took the floor in the House on last Thursday and urg ed prompt action on the House and Senate Conference Report which would grant urgently needed re lief. The Congressman was among those who were present late Fri day afternoon when Speaker Ray burn signed the legislation as finally approved by the House and Senate. Mr. Deane pointed out that there was just one more hurdle before the legislation can become law and that was the signature of the President, which was expect ed during this week. The enactment of this law by the Congress, explained Mr. Deane, will bring rejoicing in the “big house as well as in the cabin.” He further explained that since his return to Congress he has advised with scores of cotton growers and has first hand know ledge of inequities that now exist. Deane pointed out that the final bill, as now passed, is not perfect but felt the House ad vocates were fortunate to get anything, because on final pas sage the Senate approved the leg islation by a vote of only 38 to 31. Provisions of Bill In a statement to this newspa per back in early February, Con gressman Deane explained how the amended law will apply. Some changes have been made in the law as finally passed because of the insistence on the part of certain northern Senators, which results in some reduction over the former bill passed in February. The new law provides that; No farm cottop acreage allot ment for 1950 shall be less than (1) the larger of 65 per centum of the average acreage planted to cotton in the base years-of 1946, 1947 and 1948; or, (2) 45 per cen tum of the highest acreage plant ed to cotton on the farm in any one of such three years; neither adjustment to apply if it serves to increase the cotton acreage al lotment above 40 per centum of the total crop land. Mr. Deane explained how the aibove formula would apply to a particular grower. Here is a cotton farmer, for in stance, he said, who produced during the base years of 1946, 1947 and 1948, 225 acres of cotton, 60 acres of wheat, 50 acres of corn, and 15 acres of garden and truck each year. This would total 350 acres of cropland. Under the 1950 cotton-acreage quotas which have been assigned, this farmer has been allotted 80 acres of cot ton. On the basis of the new law, this grower would receive an ad justment ilnder No. 3 of the con ference report since 65 percent of the base years would increase the cotton - acreage allotment on this farm above 40 percent of the to tal cropland. Under the conference report, this cotton grower will receive 40 per cent of the total cropland of 350 acres. Thus it can be seen that this grower will have his acreage increased from 80 acres of cotton to 140 acres of cotton. Bight of Appeal Under the original bill which is continued in the new law, in every case where cotton growers can show the ir actual planting for 1946, 1947, and 1948 was higher than the figures used by the Bu reau of Agricultural Economics, each grower has the right to ap peal to his local committee, and when it can be proven from reli able sources that his planting was higher than the BAE figures, then the local committee is authorized to make proper adjustments. Congressman Deane sounded a warning to cotton growers that, in the view of key leaders in the Senate and the House the cotton grower should begin now to rap idly diversify his crops and not let it be an all-cotton program. He indicated that while the cotton surplus this year should not be alarming, there is every rfeason to believe that future legislation will show a considerable reduc tion in cotton acreage quotas. This year is the time, Mir. Deane states, when cotton growers should make their plans to absorb this shock which is sure to come. A raiding party headed by County ABC Officer C. A. McCal- lum located two small copper stills in a chicken house on the home place of Alfred Hussey, white man of Sheffields township, last Tuesday afternoon. One still, a 30-gallon affair, was set up and filled with mash, ready to go into operation. A 15-gallon still was not in use. Hiusseyj, admitting ownership, was arrested and given a hearing before U. S. Commissioner Lang at Carthage. Probable cause was found and he was released under $750 bond ’for his appearance at the September term of federal court at Rockingham. Taking part in the raid with Officer McCallumi were Police Chief Gamer Maness of Robbins, Deputy Sheriff A. F. Dees and W. B.

Declaring it is not his purpose to enter the Eighth Congressional District race as a personal popu larity contest between himself and the incumbent, W. E. (BiU) Horner of Sanford in a press re lease this week acknowledged his opponent’s being a fine man. However, he stated that “There are many people who find them selves with views different from those which the incqmbent has expressed.” Pointing out that he announced for Congress late, Horner explain ed that he did not do it without a great deal of personal investiga tion. “The groundwork for my campaign was already laid, in fact I’ve been running for the last two years,” he added. When his platform is annoimc- ed, Horner explained, it will call for, among other things, a cessa tion in projects which lead fur ther into socialism, step by step. “I will,” Horner added, “call for more genuine democracy and less government big business and less government meddling and inter ference. I am not in favor of the government running my life and I don’t believe other citizens are in favor of it running theirs.” Horner said the system of gov ernment handouts will lead not only to national financial bank ruptcy but to a weakening of those American ideals of self inde pendence and self reliance that have made this nation great. Last week he actively engaged in campaign work in Davidson, Davie, Yadkin and Wilkes coun ties. “I’ve received a nice recep tion everywhere plus, a most en couraging show of support,” he added.
