since the war that E. C. T. -C. has
had a football team, but from their
record it surely will not be the last.
E. C. T. C. has won four football
games, lost two and tied one.
The opposition in the Thanksgiving
Day game will be tough as the Popf
Field Flyers are made up of talent
from some of the best high schools
and military teams in the United
States. The Flyers have a record
this ybar of winning five, games,
losing one and tying one, having
.played some of the smaller colleges
and military teams m North Caro

for minors on advance sale. Prices
of the tickets at the gate will-be
$1.60 for adults and 85 cents for
minors. A capacity crowd is expect
ed at this game, since this is the
only football game to be played in
North Carolina on
Day.

other words, if you lived lit
Oklahoma, for instance, and decided
te grow tobacco, you bortd grow ft
all right, but 40 per cent of the 1940
average price received by farmers
tafald llfrfo to be ttfcrfficpd by you
for every-pound sold. If this average
price waa 50 cents, then you would
pay a penalty of.90 cents for each
pound marketed.
Of course, the same situation would
hold if you were a new grower ifc
Ndrih Carolina or in any other
Stota, ,
And tiarffe how the tobacco-pro
ducing states have something near a
corner on the market ,
On December 1 of each year, the
Secretary of Agriculture makes a
study of tobacco conditions?and if
the supply for tobacco exceeds the
demand, he calls for qn&taa for the
following year and sets them up for
the tobacco groWers. Since 1940 he
lias called for a quota each year,
In 1989 there waa no control. That
year tobaeeo averaged in this State
tl&66 per hiiadred pounds. The to
bacco crtfp that year waa the largest
ip .to that
In 1940, tobacco had been back
ftid*r control, but we were still suf
fering from dver-j-reduction in 1989,.
nsd'tobakco averaged $17.27 per hun
dred pounds that year.
For the 1941 season, tobacco aver-1
iged $29.31 per hundred pounds;
1942, $58.40 per hundred; 1948, |
W.20; 1944, $48.96; 1?46, $48.88.
Had there been no ceiling for 1948,1
1944, andl945, tobacco would have |
tone to a much higher price.
