A Request For Increase In
Price For Broilers Was
Also Made To OPA
Growers and shippeis of sweet
potatoes in Columbus county have
joined others in the State in placing
before the War Food AdiDinisUataion
and the OPA requests
that no celling price be put
on sue-, potatoes and that, if a
ceiling is established, it be set
"as high as possible to compensate
for tlie light yield of this
yeai's crop and the increased cost
of production, storing, curing, and
marketing."
The requests were presented
formally in Washington on
Thursday by repiesentatives of
growers and shippers of all states
which pioduce sweet potatoes.
Among those attending was Randal
B. Etheridge, head of the markets
division of the State Department
of Agriculture, and he also
conferred with members of the
rornlina Pnnfrrpqeinna 1 HPIP
in umwituH ???
gation in regard to the price of
sweet potatoes and request for an
increase in the ceiling price of
broilers.
In discussing the meeting in
Washington, Etheridge Friday said
that the floor price for U. S. No.
1 sweet potatoes is $1.30 per bushe
1 during December, and that
this ceiling will be pushed up to
$1.50 in January and to $1.65 in
February.
Best-grade sweet potatoes were
bringing from $3.50 to $4 per
bushel on New York wholesale
markets throughout the day Friday.
BROILER PRICES
"We ate requesting an increase
in broiler price ceilings in view of
the fact that the present ceilings
were fixed when feed was much
cheaper than at the present time
and when the price of baby chicks
was much lower. Relief must be
given to the broiler industry if it
is to survive," Etheridge declared.

AAA Committee Says Some
Land Owners In Selling
Land Are Making Irregular
Agreements About
Tobacco Allotments
Farmers of Brunswick County
who are buying or selling land
should contact the AAA Office
at Supply and made arrangements
for a meeting with the
County Committee, it was anounced
by C. O. Bennett, Chairman
today.
Mr. Bennett stated information
had come to the County Committee
that some land owners selling
land were drawing up an agreement
among themselves that no
tobacco would be transferred to
the party buying the land. Mr.
Bennett states that this is strickly
against regulations and the
County Committee could not approve
a transaction of this kind.
According to the regulations
where a sub-division is made a
break down of the tobacco allotment
may be based on the part

part of any increase the farm has

Where a sub-division is made and
the farm has remained one farming
unit since the beginning of
the AAA Program this will be
made on the percentage of cropland
basis. In case of disagreement
between the producers or
the above methods the County
Committee may divide the tobacco
allotment on the cropland
basis or on the part each tracl
contributed.
Mr. Bennett also said that one
tract of land owned and operated
by the same person or by husband
and wife within a county
may be combined if operated ai
one farming unit. Any part of a

-leaviest Drains On Wartime
Gasoline Stocks
Have Been Made In
Region Of Rockies
EDITOR'S NOTE: Here is
the third of OPA's scries on
current gasoline problems, this
one on "Getting Gasoline to
War."
The main problem of wartime
letroleum transportation is that
rou can't load on ocean-going
anker alongside the refinery at
m inland point like Tulsa, Okla.,
ir Wichita Falls, Texas.
Gasoline must be transported to
. seaport where an ocean-going
anker is loaded and sent on its
nission overseas.
For that reason, the heaviest
Irains on wartime gasoline stocks
lave been made in the regions
ast of the Rockies because of
heir nearness to gulf and Atlanta
ports.
Before the war, 95 percent of
he east's gasoline came around
Florida in tankers which carry
letween 60,000 and 154,000 barels
per trip. On an average a
anker left a gulf port every 100
ninutes.
The Axis knew this. As soon as
var broke out, the Axis concentrated
submarine attacks on coatvise
tankers and sank many of
hem. The rest of the tanker,fleet
lad to be diverted to supply the
Suropean and Pacific theaters.
It was up to the government to
mprovise and more than 100,000
ail road tank cars and countless
'leets of trucks and barges were
x>lized into a west-to-east oil
;ransportation system.
As a result, essential military
md war plant needs were met and
nost automobiles were kept rollng
through rationing and sharing.
Dne of our major home front victories
came out of it.
The question often arises: "Who
allocates the gas supplies?"

Army And Attacks
This newspaper along with
more than 1,250 others in 27 pulpwood
producing states were asked
this week to continue their efforts
to increase pulpwood production
in 1944 because of the growing
military need for pulpwocd
products to press the Allied attacks
on the Axis, both in Europe
and the Pacific.
Walter M. Dear, Chairman of
the Newspaper Pulpwood Committee,
in letters accompanying
Citations to newspapers cooperating
jn the newspaper pulpwood
I campaign, thanked the weekly and
small daily newspapers for their
cooperation in 1943 but urged
them not to slacken their efforts
in 1944. j
"Pulpwood is still a vital war
material, made scarce by the
manpower shortage," he said, "Our
fighting forces will need it as
long as the war lasts, as long as
there is an American soldier on
foreign soil."
At the same time, Prank Block,
Director of the War Activities
Committee of the Pulpwood Consuming
Industries, in a letter ac- '
companying War Bond awards to
winners of the recent newspaper
contest for the best local pulpwood
campaigns, indicated increased
governmental and industrial
activity in the 1944 Victory Pulpwood
Campaign.
The War Production Board, the
Agriculture Department and War
Food Administration, the War
Manpower Commission and the Sfj
Office of Price Administration, he
said, are preparing a 1944 program
to encourage and facilitate
greater pulpwood production.
Mr. Block praised the newspapers
and their local pulpwood
committees for their work in
1943, and urged them to redouble
their efforts and "help win the
war in 1944."
