May Destroy
Cotton Excess
College Station, Raleigh, July 5.
North Carolina farmers who have
unknowingly overplanted their cot
ton acreage will be given one week
to dispose of the excess after they
receive official notice of their 1939
acreage, it was announced today by
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer
of State College. Compliance sup
ervisors are now at work in the
counties measuring acreage planted
to each crop and comparing it with
allotments.
Floyd said that whenever it is de
termined that there is an acreage of
cotton on a farm in excess of the
allotment, a careful check is inaugu
rated. First, a different rotometer
operator than the one who originally
computed the acreage is assigned to
the farm. If an excess still is found
another supervisor is sent to the
farm to check the acreage, and to
determine from the grower where
the mistake, if any, was made. Tlien
a formal notice is sent to the farmer
and he has one week from the date
he receives the notice to destroy the
excess cotton.
The State College AAA head
quarters has advised all county of
ficers to be sure that farms are
measured before cotton bolls are ma
ture, so that notices may be mailed
promptly to every overplanted farm.
“In any case,” Floyd said, “where
the county committee finds that a pro
ducer made an effort Lo stay within
his acreage allotment, but an excess
acreage of cotton was planted be
cause of lack of knowledge of the
acreage in the fields, the producers
on such farms will be considered as
having disposed of the excess acre
age prior to the stage of growth at
which bolls are first formed, if such
disposition is made within one week
after notice of the amount of excess
cotton acreage is mailed to, or made
available to, the operator of the
farm.”
BASIS FOR DEFENSE
SET, JOHNSON SAYS
Charlottesville, Va., July S.—(AP)
—Assistant Secretary of War Louis
Johnson said last night the United
States had laid the basis for, and to
a considerable extent already exe
cuted, a defense program to repel
any threat to the western hemis
phere from Point Barrow to Tierra
Del Fuegro.
Johnson, speaking before the Uni
versity of Virginia’s Institute of
Public Affairs, said t national defense
for America means winning a war
and at the same time “preserving the
fabric of Democratic government set
up by the constitution.”
General George V. Strong, assist
ant chief of staff, war plans division
of the war department, declared “we
must be prepared to defend the west
ern hemisphere against aggression
successively or simultaneously from
Europe and Asia”, in summarizing
“the national defense problem as it
appears at present”.
Commander Leland P. Lovette, in
charge of public relations for the
United States navy, said “the com
bined use of diplomacy, naval pawer
and land power attain the ends and
the preservation of national policy
both in peace and war.”
CADET ASKS CLIPPINGS
BE KEPT AT HOME
Kinston, July 5. —One eastern
North Carolina novice at West Point
a cadet of short standing, has writ
ten his parents urging that if his
home town paper had anything to
say about his admission to the mili
tary academy they not send him
clippings. Upper classmen would re
quire him to memorize what was
printed, he explained, and it would
be humiliating lo have to recite what
the Bugle said about him, his family
and his forebears every time he met
a group of his military betters. Pap
ers containing references to the youth
and predictions that he will some day
be chief of staff have been put away
by the family. The cadet may see
them on his first furlough.

BIG GOLD RESERVE
ASSEMBLED IN U. S.
New York, July S.—(AP) —A huge
potential “war chest” of gold has ac
cumulated in the United States and
Canada for the account of England
and other foreign countries, mostly
since the crisis last summer leading
to the Munich pact.
From informed banking sources it
was learned today approximately
$250,000,000 was added in June to the
fast-mounting foreign-owned gold
store, making a record total of about
$1,225,000,000 held here under “ear
mark”.
This is gold set aside in special ac
counts and does not enter into the
figures for the nation’s monetary sup
oly (,as reported by the United States
treasury.
Much, if not the bulk of the “ear
marked” gold, is "regarded in bank
ing circles as .reserve buying power
which could be used for purchase of
war supplies in this country, provid
ing neutrality laws permit.
The ban on credits to foreign na
tions in default of debts owing this
country, it was pointed out, makes
gold reserves here more important
as the road to purchase of war sup
plies than during the last war, when
the allies were* able to get credits.
Nearly half the total has been
placed under earmark this year. The
shift of gold here by England and
Holland particularly, appears to have
inci'eased with the rise of prepara
tions for war by the British and the
increasing threat of a showdown be
tween the anti-Hitler front and the
Berlin-Rome combination.
In addition to the metal sent to
New York, more than $300,000,000
was reported in banking circles to
have been placed in reserve under
earmark in Canada, mainly for Eng
land, making a total of about sl,-
500,000,000 in North America.

BELK FIRM PURCHASES
ANOTHER STORE SITE
Marion, July 5. —One of the most
important real estate transactions
here for many years was consum
mated Monday when the Belk-Broom
company took over the Morganton
property, including lot extending
through the block and four story
mercantile building, on South Main
street.
The building was constructed for
a department store about 1920. In
1931 the Belk-Broom company leas
ed the property and opened a de
partment store under the manage
ment of Vernon T. Eckard who has
made several modifications for ex
panding business during the eight
years occupancy.
Plans of the company for the near
future call for improvement of the
property and extension of the build
ing to double the present capacity,
Ms. Eckward said.
