Grape Company Buys Large
Farm To Increase Production
New Owner* Plan To Start
Large Vineyard on Wash
ington County Farm
One of the largest real estate deals
in recent years in this section of the
state was concluded last week when
the Westovdr farm, located four
miles east of Plymouth, was sold by
J. G. Staton to Garrett and Com
pany, wine-growers of Brooklyn, N.
Y. The property, also known as the
Coburn farm, contains 497 acres,
about 325 of which are cleared, and
with its modern barns, dwellings and
other buildings it is generally re
garded as one of the finest farms in
this section of the state.
According to Bill Forrest, local
rperesentative of the Brooklyn or
ganization, Garrett and Company
propose to set out this entire farm
in Scuppernong grapes for use in
the production of their wines. For
the past few years their business has
been increasing so rapidly they find
it necessary to grow grapes since
they are unable to buy their require
ments. Within a year it is expected
to have 100 or more acres of vines
set out, and it is also planned to con
tinue the plantings until the entire
497 acres are utilized for this pur
pose.
The farm was formerly owned by
T. Gray Co bum, but was sold to J.
G. Staton about 15 years ago. The
new owners are .to take possession
about January 2nd.
Garrett and Company originated
in North Carolina in 1835 at Medoc
where they had extensive vine
yards. Later these vineyards were
abandoned, and now that it is neces
sary for the company to grow grapes
in addition to those they buy. West
over Farm was selected as being of
more suitable soil for the growing
of scuppernongs than the original
vineyards at Medoc.
In addition to Westover, Garrett
and Company now own vineyards
in New York and California. They al
so have a plant at Aberdeen, N. C.,
in addition to a plant in California
and the main plant in Brooklyn.
Garrett and Company expect to
maintain Westover in fine condition,
as it has been in the past, making it
one of the finest show places of this
section.
For the past few years the com
pany has bought large quantities of
grapes raised in this section, and it
is said they will continue to provide
a market for them even after they
go into the production of grapes on
a large scale themselves. .

This World
Of Ours..
By DALLAS MALL1S0N
(Editor's Note: Presented here is
the fourth of a series of stories on
the present world conflagration, its
causes, conditions determining its
outcome, the course it is taking and
the effects it will have on our gen
erations and those to come.)
ECONOMIC EFFECTS
OF THE WAR
This story and the one that fol
lows will concern themselves with
the economic effects of the present
world conflict with this installment
dealing with these effects upon the
United States and the following story
with the effects upon the world at
large.
Control and Rationing Here to Stay
From the standpoint of our own
country as well as the whole globe
perhaps the most far-reaching and
revolutionary economic effect of the
World War we are now fighting is
that it is crystallizing and perpet
uating a controlled system of eco
nomics upon us and the entire world.
-Gone forever both for ourselves and
others is the old historic economic
order of laissez fairre individualism
in which everyone was left to do
pretty much as he pleased with raw
materials and the means of produc
tion and distribution pretty much
in private hands, uncontrolled by
the state.
It would be incorrect to say that
this change toward a controlled or
socialistic economy began with the
present armed struggle for it began
in earnest several decades ago in
this country and has received much
impetus during the era of the Roose
velt administration. It is correct to
say that World War II is crystalliz
ing and perpetuating this system,
growing out of the necessity to con
jtrol the wTidle economic order if we
are to obtain the maximum product
ive capacity and the highest econom
ic efficiency which is an Imperative
prerequisitive to the winning of this
war.
Relative Scarcity a Main Cause
The march away from the old free
and uncontrolled economy began
with the anti-trust laws of the last
decade of the nineteenth century
which has given great impetus by
the first Roosevelt in his fights
against trusts and monopolies "in
restraint of trade" with Wilson con
tinuing the general trend; but it was
the present Roosevelt in his N.R.A.
and A.A.A., which really started the
economic pendulum moving preci
pately away from historic laissez
faire individualism or an uncon
trolled economy.
So-called or relative over-produc
tion or over-abundance of both farm
and industrial products and of man
power were the causes of the con
trol of the last ten years; now it is
the relative and actual scarcity of
all of these brought about as a re
sult of the demands of the war ef
fort that is producing the present
rationing which is just another kind
of legal control.
If the war continues for several
years, and it is almost certain to do
this, America will be presented at
the termination of this conflict with
a spectacle and situation wholly un
foreseen and hitherto unplanned for
?a scarcity, either relative or act
ual or both, of raw materials, finish
ed products and the means of pro
duction. The demands of the war ef
fort are becoming so prodigious and
voluminous that several years of
such production and consumption
will so use up many of our raw ma
terials or make others unavailable
in pre-war volume for years to come
that America can no longer as in
the old sense be called a land of un
ending plenty. (And, this, being true
of its whole world, will also effect
our internal economic policies with
the same results, namely, continued

The 46th Week
Of The War
Price Administrator Henderson
ordered nationwide rationing of cof
fee, effective at midnight on Novem
ber 28th, on the basis of one pound
each five weeks?about a cup a day
?for all persons who were 15 years
of age or older when they register
ed for sugar supplies on May 4-5.
All retail sales of coffee will be froz
en at midnight, November 21, for
the week before rationing begins
in order to permit merchants to stock
their shelves. Consumers will not
have to register to obtain coffee.
They will use their sugar rationing
book. To get the first coffee ration,
the consumer will be required to
surrender the last stamp?no. 28?
in the sugar book. Subsequent ra
tions of coffee will be on coupons
taken in sequence toward the cen
ter of the book.
Rubber Director Jeffers reported
chemists would deevlop "within five
or six months" a 100 per cent syn
thetic tire good for all but military
and heavy truck duty, but such tires
will be allotted for essential civilian
driving only. "Sometime after mid
1943, we ought to have enough syn
thetic tires to make an appreciable
difference in the situation regard
ing essential driving.
Sometime in 1944 we ought to
have enough to begin to furnish tires
to civilians for family use. he said.
Special gasoline allowances will be
made for motorists who must move
their cars "in the event of a bona
fide change of residence," but not
for moves from summer to winter
homes. Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard said meat* consumption of
2 1-2 pounds a week per person
would mean considerably less meat
for persons "who have always had
control and rationing.)
Thus in order to guarantee every
one his share of the goods we have
it will be necessary to continue our
system of rationing or control. Until
recently we would be terribly alarm
ed at this, calling it the rankest sort
of "socialism." Probably in the fu
ture we will take it in our stride as
a matter of course.
Unemployment and Other
-1- Eeaidnes of War
Some of the other most important
effects or economic consequences of
the present conflict are as follows
with a more detailed discussion be
ing given in later articles:
(1). It will be impossible for our
government?and it will try hard
to do so ? to prevent widespread
mass unemployment following this
war.
(2) Great as has been and is the
disorganization, confusion and waste
caused by the change from a peace
to a war economy, the return to a
peace economy, or more accurately,
the further change to a genuinely
styled world economic order with us
as the leading nation in it, is going
to produce an even greater degree
of disorganization, waste and con
fusion.
(3) The general tax burden of the
people while not as heavy as during
the present war will continue to be
heavy and will never return to any
thing like the pre-war level.
(4) The first ten years following
the present war, as were the twen
ties following the first World War,
are going to see a tremendous boom
in certain industries and in gener
al business, following a temporary
sloughing off immediately after the
war, and this side by side with mass
unemployment, bankruptcy and de
cay of many businesses and general
economic confusion.
(5) Despite efforts to prevent it,
we are inflated and the degree of
inflation will continue to grow just
so long as the war lasts which means
a consequent greater deflation at the
end of the war with all of its attend
ant evils.

back to active duty if they leave
their jobs at the mines or if the need

is studying a plan to return older
soldiers to civilian life.

ed "amazing results," and has rais
