No cotton producer should exceed
his acreage allotment expecting
to be exempt from marketing
penalties under the long
staple provisions, unless he is
planting seed of a pure strain of
Sea Island or American-Egyptian
cotton, and unless he is planning
to gin it on a roller gin. according
to E. Y. Floyd, state AAA
executive assistant.
"Even under these conditions,"
Mr. Floyd said, "the cotton must
staple one and one-half inches or
better to be exempt from provisions
of the marketing quota
law."
Mr. Floyd pointed out that Sea
Island and American-Egyptian
cotton are not generally adapted
to North Carolina, and that growers
attempting to produce these
types are taking a chance on
very low yields per acre. He said
growers who want to help in
meeting the nation's wartime
needs snould concentrate their,
efforts on increasing the staple
length of their cotton as much as
is practical.
corrotnrv of Agriculture Clau
i de R. Wickard recently appealed
to the nation's ectton farmers to
plant their full acreage allotments
this year, especially in
j; longer staple varieties, in order j
to have sufficient supplies to j
meet demands brought on by the j
;!' war.
The Commodity Credit Corpor- j
ation has announced increased (
premiums under the 1942 loan J
program on cotton one and one- i
eighth inches and longer in order i
to assure producers the same per j
acre return from longer staple j
varieties. Staple lengths of one

I Speed-Up Of

A speedup in distribution of
rationed automobiles was seen
yesterday on both the dealer and
rationing board fronts after the
speech here by Cyrus McCormick,
chief of the automobile section,
Office of Price Administration,
j The fact McCormick brought
out the difference between tire
and car rationing was praised on
both sides and a less rigorous
policy was predicted for the future.

logwood Is
Now In Bloom
By'Thompson Greenwood
The dogwood's blooms this Easr
season stood out in contrast
the light green of the spring
>ods, and along the highways
d deep in the swamps of Easrn
North Carolina the forests
r a few days are like great
iwer gardens. The leaves on the
ger trees are still young and
all. and for a short while the
auty of the dogwood reigns
preme. In the summer it is
Jden among large trees, but
r one month out of the eleven
during one blight spring month
Easter time?it is the queen
the forest.
Small, unfit for use in great
wmills and pulp mills that
ew up and gulp down the pines
d the gums, the American dogHid
is fast becoming the magnient
flower of springtime.
"At the time of the crueifixl,"
a legend has it, "the dog>od
attained the size of the
k and other forest trees. So
ong and firm was the wood
it that it was chosen for the
nber for the cross.
"To be thus used for such a
ael purpose greatly distressed
e tree and Jesus sensed this,
d smiled upon it and in His
ntle pity for all sorrow said to
'Because of your regret and
:y for my suffering I make
u this promise: Never again

ort petals, and in the center
the outer edge of each petal
ere will be nail prints, brown
th rust and stained with blood.
" 'And in the center of the
iwer there will be an image of
e crown of thorns and all who
s it will remember that it was
on a dogwood tree that I was
iicified, and this tree shall not
mutilated or destroyed, but
erished as a reminder of my
ath upon the cross'
The story has been told and reId,
as are all legends, and the
ought is beautiful?for this
ister season?1908 years after
e death of Jesus. The tree has
lg been used as a poetic term
r the cross. For in the dark,
ary days before Christ a tree
is often used in the haste of
tting to death criminals.

tree is explained by this legd:
"As Adam lay dying, he
nt his son Seth to the angel
at guarded Paradise, to carve
bought from the tree of life,
le angel gave it, and Seth carid
it to his father, but found
ti dead. He planted the bough
on his grave. In the course of
ne, Solomon was building the
nple, the tree was cut down,
t it refused to be fitted into
y part of the Temple, and was
iced over a stream to serve as
bridge.
"By and by the Queen of Shecame
with her gifts and of ings,
Seeing the tree, she
>uld not walk over it, since
e recognized that the Redeem
of the world would suffer on
"Long afterwards the Jews
9k it and cast it into a stagi
nnnt pool, Which-derived a mirft?j
culous virtue from its presence: I
an angel descended from time to I
time and troubled the water, and
the first that stepped in after the I
j troubling was healed. There itre-j
jmained until the time of our
| Lord's Passion, when it was tak- j
! en out of the pool and fashioned j
into the Cross on which he suf-1
fered."
But even when we leave the
shadowy sweetness of legends and
emerge into the realistic world
' of the twentieth century, we still
find the dogwood a thing of
beauty to the lovers of nature. It
climbs through the maze of underbrush
to add its bit of liveliness
to a spring that brings
chills and a rush of arms with it.
However, those same tyrants
who would have used the dogwood
tree hundreds of years ago
jfor the Cross of Jesus are using
^t today in the war against Hirh.
According to reports, the European
dogwood is now being cut
(down and used as a means to
i kill men, women and children,
jits wood is made into charcoal
|for powder to be used in shells to
maim anil Jull.
Men of war describe it as "the
very best charcoal for gunpowder."
But in Columbus County this
spring the dogwood Jras risen
again out of the swamps, out of
the thickets blooming, brightening
the darkening forests, bringing
white floating beauty to (he
trees and a certain quiet peace
into the hearts of men.
