C f ' f - " ; L . ....... J. fHM- T DAY, 'AllwwT 1C S ALLOnZD .1 Is Increase Over Amount Previously ,-Allowed for Public .The Stat Department of Agrl ( ilture has reported that raanu--fucturers and dealers have been allotted 678,000,000 pounds of flue-cured tobacco for domestic use instead of the 482,000,000 rc-nnds previously quoted. The new quota represents an increase of 113 million pounds ov - w last year's allotment Other claimants on the 1944 flue-cured crop including the nation's allies, r . will receive an additional allot- , ment of 19,600,000 pounds, in- 'Teaaing the total for this purpose to 2,000,000 pounds, the depart ment said. ' . ' . . , .... ThTlncre wlotments result ed from an increased over-all poundage production forecast by the crop reporting services of the nation. Latest estimates of total flue cured production included an increase of 150,000,000 pounds ov er the July forecast, made during a-severe drought which existed at that time in the flue-cured belt. CHAP PRODUCTION CTCOTTON IJZZD Competition Keen with Synthetics ' The keen competition feetn'een synthetic fibres and cotton . de mands that everything possible be dons to produce cotton on a cheaper per pound basis and tbat b th grade and staple of cotton be improved, says Director .2, , O, Schaub, of the State, college-extension service. . He points out that both grow eis s and .. cotton ginners have - a part to play in the program 'for better cottons. He urges the for mation of ginners associations in every one of the cotton producing, counties of North Carolina, and that, these ginners work for1-hotter ginning practices and cooper ate with the program. "It aeems to me that all agencies laving' to do with cotton need to be brought together in a coordinated pro gam," says Dr. Schaub. .x ' He issued an appeal to the grow eta to pick their cotton -as soon as it become! well open and ftuf-i fy, and that they deliver it to the ginner only when well dried eot and In the right condition for good ginning. . . . , f; " ,'. Most g!n. damage to cotton oc curs early In the season and aft-1 er rainy conditions during the harvesting season. If the moisture content of the cotton is relatively high a good job of ginning cannot be done, regadless of how good the giiimr is in handling the cotton ot how (good the gin machinery is. Mechanical driers cannot take Care of the situations that often arise in ginning damp cotton but they do work to improve the grade f average cotton. ;iv: PRC:iICT10N r: .ZCASTJJPPED :'i 21,370,000 ILb.
