C. BANKERVILL. Raleigh, July 6. —The apparent slowness with which signed contracts are being received from cotton grow ers should in no way be construed as indicating a lack of interest in tha reduction program, according to Dean 1.. O. Schaub, in charge of the cotton production campaign in this State. County agents first appointed local committeemen on the basis of one to each 100 growers. It soon became evi dent that these committeemen could only visit and inspect the fields of about five growers a day. Some of the committeemen have reported that it is impossible to explain the con tract,: visit the field or fields offered for reduction and secure the definite information needed to make an esti mate of the average yield for a large nurqber of growers, each da^. In some Instances more committee men are being secured so as to fa cilitate the work. As these new men gain experience it is expected 4 that the campaign will speed up. Growers are becoming aware of the necessity to cooperate w.th the gov ernment to the fullest extent Dean Schaub added. The present crop is growing rapidly and wi h the large acreage planted there is ample foun dation for the belief that another huge crop will be harvested to add to the cotton surplus already existing. Dr. Schaub said this campaign will deter mine definitely whether the cotton far mers of the South are willing to co operate with their government in the attempt to help solve the serious pro blem of over-production. For the cam paign to fail would be a tragedy for the South. However, contracts are being re ceived more rapidly as the local workers gain experience, and the di rector says the reduction movement may be a success in spite of present i handicaps. , ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER WEVELT THINKS MOST PROGRESS IS Avoidance of Further Inter national Commitments !

It is already a foregone conclusion that the State convention of Young Democratic (Clubs to be held in Wrightsville Beach bn Saturday will go on record as favoring repeal by#an overwhelm ing vote and that most of the Young Democrats will be active in the pre election campaign. It is not expected howevevr, that the convention will in struct the Young Democrats to take part in the campaign as an organiza tion, *lnce it is agreed by most of the leaders in both parties that the cam paign should be carried on along non partisan lines. But more and more Democrats and Republicans, both young and old, are coming out in open advocacy for repeal. The biggest factor in Y:he changing sentiment here in North Carolina I with regard to repeal, observers agree is the realization on the part of most people, even those who in the past have been strongly in favor of this amendment and prohibition that there is not and has not been any such thing a3 prohibition. Most of these are now willing to admit that the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act have not stopped the manufacture or drink ing of hard liquors that there is pro bably more drinking among girls and boys of high school age than ever be fore and that the average bootleg liquor is interior in quality to that formerly manufactured under govern (Continued an Page Six), Daily Increase i n Number of Contracts Received Re ported by Dean - Schaub, However MUST PICK UP FAST " TO ATTAIN SUCCESS Campaign Slated fto Close Saturday Night; Only Small Percent of 90,000 Cotton in State Have Been Asked To Sign, Schaub Says Raleigh.
