Nat Referendum
On December 14
—^—
Peanut growers of North Car
olina and other states will vote
December 14 in a referendum on
peanut marketing quotas Per
sons eligible to vote include all
farm owners, operators, or share- j
croppers who were entitled to
share in the proceeds from a crop
of peanuts produced during 1950,
on a farm with a picked or thresh
ed acreage of more than one acre
G. T. Scott, State chairman of
the Production and Marketing
Administration, explains that if
two-thirds of the votes are favor
able, quotas will be in effect for
1he 1951, 1952, and 1955 crops of
peanuts unless the Secretary of
Agriculture determines that quo
tas fin <>ni' or more of these years
should be terminated because of
increased demand or a national
emergency
If more than one-third of the
growers oppose, quotas will no'
be used for the 1951 peanut crop
In this case, another referendum
will be held next fall for the fol
lowing three peanut crops.
If quotas are approved, price
supports on the 1951 crop of pea
nuts must be set at a level be
tween 80 and 90 percent of parity
as of August 1, 1951, the begin
ning of the next marketing year.
If quotas are not approved, the
law requires that the level of
support be let at 50 per cent of
parity.
Scott says growers will be no
tified of the 19.il acreage allot
ment established for their farms
prior to the voting on December
14 In general, he asserts, the 1951

Zero, the Greenland husky ca
nine nf “Timber Fury," film ver- ,
sion of James Oliver Curwood’s
thrilling story of the north coun
try, “Retribution,” is considered
by his trainer, Jimmy Griffin, to
be the biggest ham in Hollywood.
He loves applause and is ac
tually unhappy when he isn’t be
fore the cameras or on the stage.
He’ll go through his repertoire of
tricks a', the barest signal from1
Griffin, and occasionally does a
few on an unasked for basis !
when enough people are around
to appreciate same.
Almost human in intelligence,
Zoro can do almost anything.
He’ll carry a cigarette to the des
ignated person. He can type,
growls over the telephone after
knocking the receiver off the
hook Hi' knows his cues and
allotment will be based on the
1950 allotment established for the
farm.
The State allotment for 1951
is 188,451 acres, compared with
a 1950 allotment of 225,202 acres.
The decrease reflects the down
ward trend in overall require
ments for peanuts and will ne- |
cessitate a moderate downward
adjustment in most farm allot
ments from the 1950 level.
seems to be complctly camera
wise. When a script calls for him
to be killed, he'll jump high into
the air and fall on his exact mark,
well within camera range.
In "Timber Fury," which is be
ing released by Eagle Lion Films
this Saturday at the Watts Thea
tre, Zoro plays the pet of a lum
ber magnate,’s daughter. In one
of many exciting sequences he
saves the hero from a murder at
tempt by the villain.
