'AAA Officers Tells Why Quotas Needed In the referendum on cotton and flue-cured tobacco quptas for 1938, scheduled for December 10, producers of North Carolina will have a chance to decide for themselves whether or not they want to keep the supply of cotton and tobacco at a more reason able level than to keep excessive supplies that ruin prices from piling up in the future, says E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State College. "Quotas also protect the farmers who plant within their acreage allot ments from having their efforts de- feated by those who overplant," ?ld;onnection AAA officer pointed out that with quotas in effect There are estimated to be more this year, the national cotton allot-than 600,000 active cases of tubercu ment was not overplanted. The na- losis in the United States. Boy tional allotment was about 27,500,000 Christmas Seals. I 1 WVeedLn t ire UKAT 1 .'AVi;r JSS your hair gray? b It going gray?

Cleaners are increasingly convinced of the shortage in the crop and also of the poorer quality on the whole. And a word about this poorer quality. Although some sections re port very good quality, there is no doubt but what the Virginia type pea nuts generally are running lighter in weight than usual and that many lots as received at the mills are of lower quality than in the Average year. The shelters and cleaners, however, are grading more closely and more carefully than usual, and shipments of shelled and cleaned peanuts are said by the trade in consuming cen ters to compare favorably with the offerings of Virginia type peanuts in previous seasons. Prevailing prices farmers' stock, delivery point basis: Virginias, Jum bos, best 3H-3 S-8c, few 8e, medium Jumbos 8 -3 8-8c; Bunch, best 8 3 8-8c, few 8e, medium 3-3 l-8c; best shelling stock 8-3 8-8c, lighter weight 2 -3c according to weight, size and condition. Spanish, basis U. S. No. 1, mostly 97 Mc, few $1.00 per 30-lb. bushel, poorer 80-0c per bu shel. The November estimates show ed a decrease of about 2,000,000 pounds from the October figures in the Virginia-North Carolina area. acres and producers actually grew about 26,450,000 Acres. This indi cates, he said, that quotas were one factor in keeping the adjustment ef forts of cooperating fanners from be ing defeated or made less effective by those who otherwise might have stay ed out of the program. Floyd said every farmer owes it to himself to learn all he can about the 1939 AAA program, and then vote his convictions in the December 10 referenda. Meetings to explain the program are being held throughout the cotton and flue-cured tobacco sec tions, to be climaxed by a mass meet ing of farmers at the Kaieigh Memo rial auditorium on Thursday, Decem ber 1, to hear Henry A. Wallace, sec retary of agriculture. Separate ballot poxes for cotton and tobacco quotas will be provided at community polling places for the December 10 referenda. Any farmer who produced flue-cured tobacco in 1988 and cotton producers of a staple of 1 inches or less are eligible to vote. ia - .'. Htm York, N. 33 MMt md AaotyA. BETHEL NEVVS 1 Mr. and Mrs, D.
