Y. Floyd, AAA execu tive officer, of N. C. State College. This means, he continued, that in the early cotton-producing counties of North Carolina, the issuance of stamps may begin in early July, with the bulk of the stamps expected to be distributed during August ano September. The iState College man said this estimate is based on past experience in checking cotton performance dur ing a normal growing season. A late growing season would, of course, delay issuance of stamps to farmers in the areas affected. Cotton stamps will be available to growers who make further voluntary reductions in their cotton acreage this year. The stamps can be used to purchase cotton goods in local re tail stores, Floyd pointed out. Fanners may earn stamps at the rate of 10 cents a pound on the nor mal yield of the acreage reduced. A grower interested in only one farm may earn a maximum of $25 in stamps, except that an operator with two or more tenants or sharecrop pers may earn up to $60. A farmer interested in two or more cotton farms may earn up to $50, but not more than $25 of this amount can be on any one farm. Floyd warned that every cotton farmer who takes part in the sup plementary program must be on re cord in the county AAA office as to the acreage he intends to plant in cotton this year.

Admiral Ilinitz Commissions Navy Service School Built by Henry Ford Auto Manufacturer Makes One of His Rare Appearances Before Microphone Dearborn, Mich. When its huge building program got under v, ny, the Navy faced another huge problem, the training of men in the highly technical duties which crews are called upon to perform. The existing naval training sta tions were already full. Turning to industry, Navy officials found that the Henry Ford Trade School, situated in the heart of the Rouge plant, was perfectly suited to such training. Henry Fold not only offered the facilities of both school and plant to the Navy for this pur pose, but also said he would build barracks for 1200 students, mess hall for 2000, administration building, provision storage, recre ation rocm, athletic field, a steam generating plant. The offer was accepted, and on December 6, 1940, the first shovel of earth was turned on the bank of the Rouge River. Forty days later the first contingent took up quarters in the newly erected buildings. The inauguration cere monies were described by Com mander C. P. Cecil as "unique in the history of the United States Navy for we are dedicating the first Navy Service School ever to be operated in connection with civilian industry." With naval officers on the out door platform beside him, and 200 enlisted men drawn ur in front of the school's administ.a tion building, Henry Ford said that: "During the present crisis our organization wan'.s to do everything possible i ) help America and the Presicsnt. Th-j Navy being our first line of de fense, I feel that the training of these young men will vit.-lly Hanafit our nation. And. wh-" '' crisis is over, we enn then re claim these n char.xal!y tra'ned young men in our industries." In turning the facilities of school and plant over to the Navy for training personnel, Edsel Ford explained that his father had established the Henry Ford Trade School 24 years ago "because he believed in usin the facilities of the Ford Motor Com pany for something more than the building of motor vehicles. He believed that these facilities could also be used for the build ing of youth." Rear Admiral C. W. Nimitz, who came from Washington to repre sent Secretary Knox, accepted the facilities of school and plant. "I can think of no better place for this extension of the Navy train ing program," he declared. "I wish, Mr. Ford, to express to you the appreciation of the Navy Depart ment for this fine demonstration of patriotism on your part." The new Navy Service School will be under the administration of Rear Admiral John Downes, Commandant of the Ninth Naval District, which includes 13 states and has headquarters at Great Lakes, Illinois. After explaining that the men to be trained here come from both the Pacific and the Atlantic, as well as the Great Lakes, he ;.dded: "We know that Mr. Ford hi here established the finest schoc! in the world for training men in the mechanical trades. This will be the most important training center that the Navy has for schooling its newly enlisted m?n in the mechanical duties which they will be called upon to ;crform immediately upon join- TRAVELING AROUND AMERICA 1 ' 4- m ' Phott Grtut lint LUCKY LADY THIS looks as It Croesus had said It with flowers! As a matter of fact these orchids cost less than we'd pay here in the United States for a very ordinary variety of rose. They were bought In Caracas by travelers visiting Venezuela on one of the 12-day cruises from New York. Orchids grow wild In the Jun gles and forests of Venezuela and Colombia springing from lichen covered trees and moss-grown rocks. They are called parotitot by the natives. They are not, however, parasites they use their host only tor support, not for nourishment, for they manufacture their food from the moisture-laden air and from sunlight. Among the more ought-after plants are the Christ mas orchid and the perfumed orchid . in Colombia, and the rare Easter orchid of Venezuela. In all there ere some seventy-live hundred dif ferent knows speclee of orchid . ranging from the exotically beauti ful bloHomt of the rare ; plant : irntcn U -"worth ereral thousand foliar, to the tery ordinary look ing variety from which vanilla Is manataetared. Less than half a century ago orchid growing regions of Colombia and Venezuela caused about as much of, a stampede as California did in the gold rush days. The orchid hunters maintained the ut most secrecy regarding their hunch es and their finds using maps with secret markings, going through elaborate maneuvers to cover up their trail and talking not at all. Today with orchids under cultiva tion here In the United States the hunting fever has died down. Yet growers still need to import fresh plants from the Jungles with which to Invigorate their stbek, and they are always on the lookout for new species. So orchid hunters still go adventuring journeying tar Info unexplored regions in search of their gorgeous prey. They endure heat and hunger, and fatigue, run the gamut of Jungle Insects and animals, expose themselves to ma laria and jungle fevers even to . death Itself in order that, some beautiful woman may wear the moat beautiful of all this royal fu-, 11 of flowers. : Xdra Mai Stabs.
