most important for the tobacct

E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialis
at State College, was namec
chairman of the steering com
mittee which will push the cam

the quota plan in all sections o;
the State.
I. 0. Schaub, director of thi
State College Extension Service
who presided over the discussions
pointed to a great need for con
trol m tobacco acreage for thi
next three years.
"This is probably the most im

Schaub.
I , In stressing the necessity fo:
peed in pushing the campaign
1 Schaub reminded the group tha
only a few days remained befori
the vote.
I Congressman John Folger wh<
spoke briefly, declared, "We can
not afford to open the door in to
tacco production to people wh<
think they can go into it success
fully but whose efforts will servi
only to disrupt the program an<
reduce the price to be paid fo:
the tobacco."
Warns Against Indifference
I Floyd expressed the opinion tha
'the only opposition to the mar
beting quota program will be tha
indifference." He told thi
Sroup that "farmers will be ex
tremely busy for the next severa
B*ttks."
I Many of the speakers partici
piting in the discussions exprcssei
Bhie opinion that the success o
failure of the entire marketinj
quota idea will rest with the to
tacco farmers of North Carolina
since more than 65 per cent o
the entire vote will come fron
this state.
j Schaub pointed out that th
passage of the plan "not onl;
will guarantee a fair price fo
tobacco next year, but will pre
fant farmers from turning awa;
from the production of essentia
food crops so as to increase thei
*af acreage."
He said that the referendun
*as made possible by a specia
act of Congress and pointed ti
he fact that ballots for the vob

! RALEIGH, July 20.?W. Kerr'
I Scott, Commissioner of Agricul-j
t ture, has urged the tobacco farm-j
ers of North Caorlina to support
"wholeheartedly" the marketing
i quotas program in the referendum)
which will be held on July 24. {
"We must give this program!
t much of the credit for the pros
perity the producers of tobacco
l have enjoyed during the past eight
s years," declared Scott in pointing
i to the necessity for a continuance1
) of the plan which was put into
) effect in 1934.
r Scott referred to the fact that
s this State produced more tobacco
- last year under the quotas system
. than in 1943 when the acreage
i that could be devoted to the)
1 growth of tobacco was unlimited,
p "We mu?t not forget the fact
that during the past five years
t the yield of leaf to the acre has
. averaeed nearly 1,000 pounds as
i compared with an average yield
, of 693 pounds to the acre for the
, years prior to the inception of the
. program," said Scott.
In pleading for an affirmative
r vote for the marketing quotas,
- Scott said that while the acre
age under the plan has been ap
proximately 20 per cent less, the
, yield per acre has been 36 per
r cent more, with the total State
. production of tobacco up nine per
, cent in the past five years over

The War Department is in ur

operated by tho Transportation
- Corps throughout the world and
there may be some jobs that
Brunswick County men can file.
[ These boats, which American
T.np-builders are delivering to the
i War Department in ever-increaa'
ing numbers, run from 40-feet up
to approximately 170-feet in
length and are not combat vesf
sels. As completed, they are used
u both within and without the Uniti,
ed States, in some cases in theaters
of operation but not necessarily
in combat zones. They vary
in type from small launches to
_ the larger freight and passenger i
vessels, and are used for harbor
boat service,. inter-island freight
s and transfer service, etc. They
are powered by steam, gasoline
and diescl engines.
There is an immediate need for
