Prize Contest
Treasure Top Contest An
nounced By Manufactur
ers Of Popular Beverage
Probably the most spectacular
competition ever to be offered to
the public begins with the open
ing of the Pepsi Cola "Treasure
Top" Contest offering $203,725.00
in cash prizes, it was announced
today, by Mr. J. W. Jackson,
President of the Pepsi-Cola Bottl
ing Company of Wilmington.
"In my opinion," said Mr. Jack
son, "America has never seen
anything like this before. There
are over 15,000 cash prizes for
the public plus over 900 cash
prizes for the dealers who help
their customers to win.
"Every entry wins at least a
"Treasure Certificate' for 100
points in the Family Sweepstakes,
and the family who wins the fam
ily sweepstakes gets as first prize
$25,000 in cash.
"In addition to that, there are
51 separate cash prizes awarded
each month in every State of the
Union. All you need to enter the
contest is one Pepsi-Cola bottle
top with a design hidden under
the cork. The detailed rules will
appear in the newspapers and can
be obtained as well from your
favorite retail store.
"In addition to the contest."
Mr. Jackson pointed out, "It's
going to be a lot of fun for
every man, woman and child to
collect and trade these Pepsi-1
Cola Treasure Tops and try and
get complete sets of the different
insignias.
"In the monthly contests one
Treasure Top is enclosed with a
25-word statement on 'Pepsi-Cola
Hits the Spot Because . . . In
addition, the entrant states the
number of different Treasure Tops
they have so far collected. The
| number of tops so collected makes
I no difference in the awarding of
jthe prizes which are judged com
pletely on the merit of the state
j ment. Every entrant gets at
least a Treasure Certificate for
100 points for the big Family
Sweepstakes.
j "At the end of six months,
when the Family Sweepstakes
close, the 100 families in the Unit
ed States having the greatest
'number of points will be the final
ists in the Family Sweepstakes
contest. Among these 100 fami
lies, 40 family prizes will be J
awarded?the first prize being I
$25,000 in cash.
| "The entire contest will be j
j judged by the Reuben H. Donnel
; ley Corporation, the nationally i
known judging organization.
"All Treasure Top entries should
be mailed to P. O. Box 12, New
York 8, N. Y."

Farmers To Plant
I Big Peanut Crop
News That All Quotas Have
Been Lifted Probably
Will Be Greeted With
Enthusiasm By Bruns
wick Growers
Because they afford a rich
source of food, fats and oil, all
peanut quotas for 1948 have been
lifted. Brunswick county farmers
may plant what acreage they
please in. peanuts this year, ac
cording to J. J. Hawes, secretary
to the AAA at Supply.
During the past two or three [
years the peanut production in
Brunswick county has not been up
to normal, due to the extremely!
wet late summers and fall. De- j
spite this, hundreds of the farm-1
ers still look upon peanuts as a J
very vajuable crop for the hay
and nuts that it produces, as well I
as for the fertility to the land on !
which it is planted.
With the quotas off the peanut!
acreage and with the tobacco |
acreage cut 27 percent, It is very |
probable that this year will see
the planting of the biggest peanut
peanut acreage in several years, i

We have insisted all along that
the United, States Department of
l'Agriculture comply exactly with
the requirements of the quota
provisions as set out in the law,
and we now insist that the crop
of flue-cured tobacco for 1948
be reduced to the extent that
supply and demand will be kept]
in balance and that the reduction
as already announced be maintain

velopments on or before March 1,

a need for additional tobacco.
