CIGARETTES TO GO UN RA
TIONED The shortage of cigarettes ex
perienced throughout the country
reflects the bad distribution due to
war time conditions and the fact
that the arm.d forces are now
smoking a fourth of the country's
total production, but no rationing
of them is contemplated, the Office
of Price Administration states. The
War Food Administration reports
that the number of cigarettes be
ing manufactured for civilian and
soldier consumption is the great
est in the history of the tobacco in
dustry. Only a negligible amount
of tax-free cigarettes ia sent abroad
for consumption other than by our
armed forces. Black market ope
rations and hoarding are also be
lieved to be factors contributing to
the spotty distribution and civilian
shortages.

Old Hickory 30th Division Again Makes
Outstanding Record In Another War
LAND BOOM PERILED RURAL
AMERICA
By Claude R. Wickard,
Secretary of Agriculture
History is threatening to repeat
PFC. GLENN C. ROGERS, son
of Charlie R. Rogers, of Fines
Creek, is now serving with the
armed forces in Southern Fiance.
He was inducted in the service on
December !, 1042, and took his
basic training at Camp Claiborne,
La. From the latter he was trans
feired to Camp Howze, Tex., and
from there to a port of embarka
tion. Ut fore entering the service he
was employed in an automobile
body factory in Detroit, Mich.,
when he had resided for the past
fifteen years.
itself in the farm land market.
Another farm land "boom," is
closely paralleling the one that
ended so disastrously after the last
war, is building up in this country.
Both the price of farm land and
the number of farm sales in many
areas have been rising at about the
sume rate as in the last war. If
this trend continues, Rural Ameri
ca had better watch out.
One encouraging sign is that
actual hind prices haven't yet
reached the high level of 1919-20.
But still we can't say now how
much higher these prices are like
ly to go because, in the World War
I period, the high point in the land
market was not reached until more
than a year after the fighting stop-
The Old Hickory 30th Division,
of which Company H. National
Guard unit from Waynesville is a
part, has covered itself with glory
in Europe, according to reports
from various sources overseas.
The Division captured the fam
ous Belgium Fort Eben Emael on
Sept. 10 and two days later became
the first allied unit to enter Hol
land. By September 20, forward ele
ments of the Division were across
German frontier, dug in close to the
Siegfried line and ready to attack.
The ;50th Division was in training

were at Camp Atterbury. Ind. The
Division's Commander, Maj. Gen.
L. S. Hobbs, was also in command
when the Division was at Camp
Atterbury.
The 3()th Division according to
the II. P. reli ved the First Infan
try Division in the vicinity of Mor-
ped.
It would be sad indeed if the
Nation should witness another
seige of farm land foreclosures,
bankruptcies, and forced sales such
as hundreds of thousands of rural
families experienced after the bot
tom fell out of the land bomb that
accompanied the World War 1 per
iod. For 13 hazardous years after
1920, land prices were on the down
hill trail. And that statistical fact
doesn't begin to tell the full story
of human trugedy and misiry. Be
cause when a wave of bankruptcies
hits a community, everybody suf
ferslender and borrower, busi
ness and professional people alike.
It will be particularly unfair for
returning veterans, who want to
buy land, if they have to compete
in an inflated land market. For
them, or farmers either for that
matter, to go heavily in debt on
land prices bid up far beyond long
time earning capacity is an invi
tation to disaster.
So my advice is: Don't buy land
at inflated prices. Put your war
time income into sound invest
ments, such as war bonds, so that
you can benefit f rora that money in
the years ahead.

40 Years
Of the 1943 Crop The 9 markets of this territory sold 67,790,882 lbs. at an AVERAGE of $48.59 per 100 pounds.

GREENEVILLE
Its average is virtnafly one cent higher than all other Tennessee markets and one to two-thirds cents higher
than that of other states.
While the GREENEVILLE average is $49.13, the N. C. crops when figured separately averaged much more,
this being due to its growth being almost all of uniform average size, length, color and texture so stands out
in favorable comparison with that of the average quality of other sections This average uniformity of merits
permits its classification in fewer GRADES with the result each CROP requires less basket floor space. (Fre
quently the commissions on a single basket exceeds by double that of whole crops grown elsewhere). These
facts account for Tennessee markets eagerly soliciting the patronage of the N. C. grower.
Since the percentage of this crop took secojnd
growth and late in curing it is lacking in grade uni.
formity, size and color, therefore it will be less easy
to grade than the average stalk of last year's crop
which was of an average thinner leaf and yielded a
larger percent of the higher quality smoking types.
While the same crop price ceiling of 41c for last
year is agreed, due to a less percent of high quality
Grades, it will not average as much as that of last
year at the same Grade Price Ceiling. LIMITED

With much of the crop being late, together with
labor shortage the sale season will likely extend into
March However, the Grade Price Ceiling being fixed
the same Drice will hold throughout the entire sale
season, therefore, it is hoped growers will market
the crop at their convenience.
Regardless of the price ceiling we know the
medium and better grades will be in demand and that

next day began the historic Mor-tain-Rarthelmy
defense in which
the Division stopped four armor
ed German divsions which Hitler
had ordered to break through to
Avranches and the sea, separating
the American First and Third
Armies.
A drive across France followed
and Sept. 1 and 2 put the finishing
touches on a march that carried
the doughboys 180 miles in 72
hours to Tournal, Belgium, which
was lattr turned over to the British.
The 30th Division was created
in July, 1917 from National Guard
Units of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Tennessee. It was
recalled into service in Sept., 1940,
with national guard units of these
states plus Georgia.
A number of units were drawn
off during a long training period
and replacements brought in men
representing nearly every state.
Major Gen. Hobbs received the
Silver Star for the Division's cross
ing the Virf River in the Battle of
St. Lo and an oak leaf cluster for
gallantry when he took personal
command of a task force which
screeni d the Division's advance into

The lamp has a 100-watt bulb in it
and the lamp of ooal weighs one
pound.
Pulverized and blown into the big
boiler of a modern power-plant, a
pound of coal provides enough
steam to generate one kilowatt-hour
of electricity.
That much electricity, in turn, ui
light the lamp for ten hours long
enough to read this newspaper and a
couple of novels. Or it will ran a
small radio for 25 hours, a food mixer
for 13 hours, a washer for almost 7.
"So what?" you say. The point is
this. 25 years ago, it took about
three times as much coal to produce
a kilowatt-hour of electricity as it
does today!
The efficiency which get several
time as much white light from black
coal has benefited YOU in many way.
It has made your electric service
better and cheaper year by year. It
