Raleigh, Sept. 27.—(Special)—

them to farmers. The major pro
blem now is to make it possible
for the federal government to
assist in reopening the border,
eastern, and middle belt markets
and release the nearly 600 mil
lion pounds of the 1939 crop still
in the hands of the farmers.
“It is apparent that calculating
individual quotas, notifying grow
ers, and holding a referendum in
the usual manner would delay
the reopening of the markets and
thereby inflect severe hardship
on individual farmers and de
moralize business generally,
Floyd declared. “The best step in
cinnection with the allotments
under these circumstances seems
to be to advise farmers of mini
mum allotment figures prior to
the holding of the feferendum.”
“Under the procedure already
approved by Secretary of Agri
culture Walace for determining
allotments, it is extremely unlike
ly that the 1940 acreage allot
ment for any ‘regular,” or old
tobacco farm, will be reduced
more than 20 per cent, or one
fifth, below the 1939 allotment
of ‘acres to plant,,” Floyd con
tinued. “Any farm on which the
harvested acreage in 1939 was
materially larger than the 1939

allotment cannot count upon re
ceiving an increased allotment
in 1940 by reason of having plant
ed the larger acreage. However,
there is a possibility of receiving
a slightly larger allotment than
in 1939 if it is justified by land,
labor, and equipment found to
be available for tobacco after con
sidering other cash crops on the
farm."
Turning to “new growers,” or
farms on which tobacco was
grown for the first time without
an acreage allotment, the alloi
ment for 1940 will be based on
one-fifth of the 1939 harvested
acreage, adjusted up or down by
local and county committees on
the basis of crop rotation pract
ices and the land, labor and
epuipment available for tobacco
as compared with other farms
similarly situated in the com
munity.”
Allotments for small farms
will first be calculated so as to
be comparable with allotments
for larger farms, Floyd continu
ed. Then they will be increased
by 20 percent, but not above the
acreage which, with a normal
yi, eldwould produce 3,200 pounds
of tobacco. For example, if the
allotment computed for a farm
for 1940 is two acres and the
normal yield is 2,000 pounds
(1,000 pounds per acre), then the
allotment will be increased to
2.4 acres, or 20 percent. On the
other hand, if the allotment is
three acres and the normal yield
is 3,000 pounds (1,00 pounds per
acre), then the allotment will be
increased to only 3.2 acres, rather
than by 20 percent.
The increase of allotments for
small farms is limited strictly to
farms not operated, controlled,
or directed by a person who also
operates, controls, or directs a
nother farm on which tobacco
was produced. In other words, it
is restricted entirely to small,
independent growers.
Floyd also calls attention to
major changes in the agricultural
adjustment act made in amend
ments passed by the last session
of congress upon the recommend
ations of tobacco farmers.
Probably the most significant
from the standpoint of the indivi
dual farmer is the amendment
under which the marketing
quotas for farms will be the
actual production on the acreage
allotment. This means that farm
ers can market without penalty
the actual production of their
acreage allotments, no matter
how high the yield per acre.
Since cooperating farmers can
r.ow market all of their tobacco,
there will be no transfer of quo
tas from one farm to another.
The last amendment of interest
'to individual farmers provides
for a flat penalty of 10 cents per
pound on all sales of tobacco in
excess of the actual production
on the acreage allotment for the
farm.
QUARTERLY PRICES
ARE FOUND HIGHER
Products Go Pp With War;
Warning Against Over-Ex
pansion Is Sounded
Raleigh, Sept 27.—(Special)—;
Improved demand for farm pro-'
ducts during the past quarter of!
this year is indicated by the latest'
price and demand report of the '
bureau of agricultural economics,
which was announced t:day by
Julian E. Mann, extension studies ]
economist of State college. The
basis is the expansion in industri
al activity and consumer incomes
in recent months, accelerated
now by war conditions, Mann
said.
Producers were cautioned,
however, not to expect a “run
away” market, since supplies of
practically all farm products are
more than enough so rcurrcnt
and prospective needs.
The B. A. E. report shows that
there was a sharp rise in domest
ic cotton prices of nearly 1 cent
per pound between September 2
and 7, nearly canceling the Au
gust decline. A sharp increase in
cotton cloth and yarn sales in
early September, as well as pro
spective business conditions, are
favorable for continued high rate
of United States cotton consump
tion.
Mann quoted the report as
showing that exports of cotton
have been greatly restricted since
the outbreak of the war, as have
textile sales in European centers,
but foreign mill activity is be
lieved to have been maintained.

Ordinarily sets are two, or

The large set, standing in a 6-
foot-deep tank, which was flood
ed with water, was furnished in

During the final scenes, while the
church was flooded, a motorboat
entered the set to rescue the
stars, who were marooned by a
hurricane and the resultant flood.
