Big Majority For Quotas Washington, Dec- 15 —(API for ttit' 1 jίHi consecutive year and on tins occasion m wartime .wuthern mci ha\ο voted to produce anil market their cotton under a .strict federal control program. Virtually comp.ete returns from a referendum Saturday gave 694.556 votes for and 37.671 against contin uance of marketing quotas, which were imposed for the first time un der the present farm law in 1338. This vote gave a favorably per centage of 94.8 or far more than the necessary two thirds. It also was the ' highest percentage of any of the five ■ cotton referenda. Federal farm officials had asked that the quotas be continued because of the existence of a two-year sup ply ul cotton and darker prospects lor exports due to the war. In place ol cotton, farmers art? be ' ing urged to produce more food to meet needs of not only this nation out of ils allies in the war. Under quotas, farmers are restrict ed to the sale of cotton produced on Jicir AAA planting allotments. Ex il salis are subject to a stiff penal B y tax. y Approval of quotas assures eontin B .'mice of government price-support ■ { :i'.g cotton loans. g North Carolina farmers voted 659, fgf 917 for the program to 3,366 against.

An appeal to the Negroes ol Hen derson and Vance County: The American Red Cross is asking for funds. During the annua: n il call the Negroes of Henderson and Vance county answered present m sizable numbers by joining tin worthy organization. Hearty responses came from individuals, and all 'he schools of the city and county. ΤΙκ roll call was a peace-time effort on the part of the Red Cross. Since this peaceful effort to rate·: funds for the Red Cross a serions situation ha.- arisen. We are at war! America has b.en attacked.
