TOBACCO The tobaccomen of
North Carolina and this includes
the producers, too are already
getting set for another season.
They had J. B. Hutson, president
cf Commodity Credit Corporation,
in Raleigh all day last Friday at
a series of conferences, but the
press had not one word on it. And,
o far as is known, this is the
first inkling the general public has
had of Hutson's appearance in
North Carolina. However, appro
ximately 100 tobacconists and agri
cultural leaders gathered here for
the meetings and discussions
hinged around ceiling for this
year's crop. The results of the
meeting or meetings will not be
known for some time yet. Opinion
is that tobacco price ceilings will
be just as high or higher this year
than they were last.
The burley folks in this state
expect this to be their biggest year,
nd the Boone warehouse owners
are doing everything possible to
persuade the War Production Board
to let them increase their storage
space.

CHANGES There is something
in the Bible to the effect that those
who live by the sword will die by
the jword, and many county super
intendents who have paid more at
tention to political rings than to
the operation of their school sys
tem may find themselves out of
the running when the legislature
convenes here next January. The
legislature, like it or not, has final
say-so on the county boards of
education and therefore on the
county superintendents, which are
named by the boards. In the re
cent primary, the picked men of at
least six superintendents lost out,
largely because they were the
favored candidates of the super
intendents. Hitlerian methods
practiced by some superintendents
with regard to their teachers and
principals may pay big dividends
for a time, but pretty soon the law

these returns sometimes throw
superintendents out the political

MILK The N'urth Carolina
Dairy Products Association has set
up about the nicest offices in Ral
eigh on the eighth floor of the
Insurance Building, with Marcus L.
Ham, widely known public rela
lions man in this state, as execu
tive vice -president.
The first issue of the Associa
tion s News Bulletin appeared
last week, and will be published at
least once each month and in be
tween as the need arises. W. S.
Obenshain, of Charlotte, is presi
dent, and George Coble, of Lex
ington, is one of the vice-presidents.
The Association is made up of
dairy processing plants in this
state, and its aim is the encour
agement of more consumption of
ice cream, milk snakes, cream and
dairy products in general.
Some time this summer the Asso
ciation will sponsor the publication
of a 120-page dairy recipe booklet.
The publications division of the
State Department of Agriculture,
assisted by Miss York Kiker, de
partment home economist, will
write the book and do everything
( xcept pay for it. Incidentally, the
publication will have 16 four-color
pages, and is the most ambitious
project of its kind every attempted
in North Carolina.
More Ice Cream
For June-July
June Quota Is 85 Of
June, 1942, Sales; July Is
75 Of July, 1942, Sales.
Ice cream manufacturers are be
ing permitted to make 85 per cent
of the amount made in June, 1942,
according to K. a. Davenport, gen
eral manager of the Pet Dairy
Products Company. This is the
largest quota given ice cream man
ufacturers in many months.
The May quota was 75 per cent
of May in 1942, while July of this
year will be limited to 75 per cent
of the July, 1942, sales.
The August quotas will drop
back to 65 per cent, which is the
basis of operation in the ice cream
industry at this time.
The increase for May, June and
July was due to the increase in
milk production throughout the
nation, Mr. Davenport reported.

MOVING John Harden, who
did a good job with Gregj; Cherry's
publicity, will begin work with the
Greensboro Daily News setup any
day now. Harden had been manag
ing editor of the Salisbury Post
for several years when he took the
March-April-May job with the
Cherry folks. Rumor has it he
received $1,000 for his night and

with the Greensboro papers will be
pretty important. Harden and his
good-looking wife were brought up

hit the down trail too swiftly, the
government will step in officially.

UNION If your memory is good
you will recall that John L. Lewis
has been trying for three years to
organize a milk producers union.
Well, he has not been successful
largely because he knew more
about mining than milking. But
the State Grange is now hard at
work on a plan to organize the
farmers who sell milk to processing
plants. If you are a farmer and
not satisfied with the price you re
ceive for the milk you sell, get in
touch with Harry B. Caldwell,
Greensboro, and eventually you
will help yourself on milk prices.
