and have exceeded consumption
by approximately 300 mlUion
pounds Marketing quotas afford
the opportunity to reduce supply
in line with demand and to
eliminate the present surplus
The quotas, together with loans,
will protect groweis against low j
prices which otherwise could be
expected.
As in the past, Mr. FUlton
pointed out, growers will vote
on one of three propositions:
1 1 1 Dj you favor marketing
quotas for three years ? 1947-49?
(2 1 Do you favor quotas for one
year? 1947, but oppose quotas
for three years? or, <3 ? Are you

its allotted acreage in any one
Of the past three years The
law provides that 1946 allot
ments of nine-tenths of an

The legislation authorising

parity price if quotas are ap
proved

By Ruth Current

, vegetables to be harvested for
storage are beans, winter squash
and pumpkins. These tender
vegetables must not remain out
of doors in a freezing tempera
ture. Tomatoes, peppers, egg
plants should also be gathered,
but these vegetables cannot be
stored for any length of time.
Don't be in a hurry to dig
and store your root crops. This

To the Voters of Macon County:
1 think that all candidates for public office
should make a public statement to the voters,
and I take this opportunity to make such a
statement as candidate for Clerk of the Su
perior Court of Macon County.
1. I am not a veteran and did not lose my
arm in the service, but lost it in a hunting
accident in my early vouth. It would have
been a great honor to me to be able to stand
in t'he ranks of those who served our country
in the Armed Forces, but I was prevented
from doing so by this physical handicap. I
seek no votes on the ground that 1 am a
veteran nor on the grounds of my physical
handicap, and any rumor or impression that
you may have heard to this effect is false.
I am onlv stating, this to clear up certain
propaganda which has been spread to this
effect. ?
2. I am of the opinion that the office of
the Clerk of the Superior Court of Macon
County is a full-time job. and if I should be
elected. I pledge to give my undivided at
tention to the ditties of the office.
.3. I seek no controversy with any person,
regardless of party affiliation. 1 stand for
sound County Government, which represents
all the people of the County. A public officer
is a servant of the people, and if I at)i elected
it will be my aim to serve all the people to
the best of my ability regardless of party
affiliation. I will appreciate the support of
the people of this county and if elected will
endeavor to be worthy of their confidence.
Respectfully,
Clinton Brookshire,
Candidate for Clerk of the
Superior Court of Macon County.

even after the tops have died

A good inch of stem should

Be Due Social Security
The families of veterans, who
have died since discharge, are

ty veterans service officer. This
is true regardless of whether
the cause of death was service
connected. and even though the
veteran had no social security
card Details may be obtained
from Mr Brysen or from the
Social Security office in Ashe
ville.
Ammonium dynamite, gela
tins, and other such explosives
should not be used for ditch
blasting operations. Only nitro
glycerin dynamite is best for
ditching jobs, says Howard Ellis
of State college.
