ALASKAN DEPT
OF U. S. ARMY
If the name Alaska is mentioned
to any soldier who has been there,
It will probably bring to his mind
many thoughts about the wonders
of this Northwest territory.
, In sharp contrast to the bomb
shattered cities and human suffer
ing in many parts of the world,
Alaska .offer J wealth, of ..scenic
beauty unmarred by the "ravages
of war. ..
. For soldiers who prefer the out
doors, this luxuriant countryside is
a sportsman's paradise.
The Alaskan Department of the
U. S. Army has taken "steps to
provide the finest equipment avail
able for these outdoor sportsmen
as well as fer those who prefer in
door sports.
Since the military units In this
land of clean snow and swift rivers
are small, there naturally is less
work to be done and so the men
have more leisure time to use as
they please. -

KENANSVILLE, NORTH CAROUN A FRIDAY, JULY 12th., 1946
1S47 Crop
Rostauiim
Washington, July 1. Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson announ
ced Monday that the 1947 market
ing quota for flue-cured tobacco
will be about 1,148,000,000 pounds
if growers approve goverment con
trols on sales at a referendum to
be held July 12.
Quotas must be approved by at
least 2-3 of the growers voting.
Slight Deereas
This proposed - quota compares
with last year's flue-cured crop of
1,174,000,000 pounds. On the basis
of the indicated acreage planted
and average yields, this year's
crop would be 1186,000.000.
Under the quota system, which
farmers already have approved for
the 1946 crop, growers selling in
excess of their marketing shares
are subject to cash penalties.
Anderson said that if the quota
system is approved for 1947, each
grower will be given a planting
allotment. The total acreage allot
ted will be 1,141,000 compared
with 1,120,000 in 1945 and 1,257,
000 in 1946. ' ,
"Reserve" Quota
Of the acreage to be allotted for
1947, a "reserve" not exceeding
five per cent may be used for in
creasing ' allotments for small
farms and to provide allotments
for new farms.
As compared with 1946, the 1947
acreage, as planned,under the quo
ta system, means an average re
duction in allotments to most in
dividual farms of not more than
14 per cent However, because of
the reserve for small farm adjust
ments and new farms, the net re
duction in total, acreage, would be
about nine1 per cent. " V
Highest m History,
The allotment for this year's
crop was the highest in history. It
was established at that level to
replace war-depleted crops in fore
ign countries and to provide sup
plies for heavy domestic useage. ,
Anderson pointed out that while
available Information indicates a
somewhat smaller crop will be
needed next year, he is authorized
to Increase the quota by any
amount up to 20 per cent at any
time up to March 1, 1947. .

"Votes-cast in the referendum
on Friday will determine whether
acreage allotments are continued
In 1947 according to Mr. Joe E.
Sloan. Chairman of the County
Agricultural Conservation Com
mittee, which is conducting the
referendum in this county.
Marketing quotas will furnish
growers with a method of adjust-
ing supply to demand and can help'
provide fair prices to growers for 1
the tobacco they produce.
At the present time, flue-cured
tobacco growers are producing
above world consumption levels to
build up depleted stocks in fore
ign countries. Marketing quotas af-
ford the opportunity to adjust this
supply to meet demand. .
The Act of Congress under
which the referendum is being
held Friday, July 12, also provides
for loans or other price supports
on flue-cured tobacco of the 1947
1943 and 1949 crops, provided the
growers approve quotas for three
years, Mr. Sloan explained.
The polls will open at 7:00 a. m.
and close at 9:00 p. m. Voting
