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.

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.
