Causes Complaints
On Cotton Quotas

College Station, Raleigh, May TO-
Widesnread misunderstanding has,
been the basis for a large part of the
complaints against cotton allotnents
under the new farm act. I. o. Schaub,
Of State College, said today.
In explaining how individual acre
ages were set UP, the extension di-
rector pointed out that North Caro-
lima was allotted 9O2,533 acres for cot
ton originally. When Congress passed
amendments to the act, the State re-
ceived 32262 additional acres.
Up until this year, the State AAA
office determined county acreage al
lotments. However, the Washington
office set the county goals under the
1898 program. All county allotments
were established on a basis of so per
cent of the sum of the 1887 planted
plus diverted acreage. Dean Schaub
described diverted acreage as that on
which payments were made under the
Agricultural Conservation program
for carrying out approved soil-build-
ing and soil-conserving practices.
Individual allotments were released
by the county committeeman after

Raleigh, May Ii (AP) Guitar
Moore, chairman of the state ARC
commission made public today a re-
port by the United States treasury

The confidential report covered the

company. 1t contained the names of
alleged customers of the company,
some. of whom were listed as buying
VIII, ely in thousand-case lots during
March.
The single company sold close to g.
021 cases of liquor during March to
residents of dry North Carolina coun-
ties, the report showed.
Moore told the Associated Press he
was waiting for reports on other
wholesale houses before turning the
information over to law enforcement
officers in the dry counties.
Names Are Withheld.
Hc asked that the names of the
company and the persons listed as
purchasers be withheld until that
.ime
II am convinced that there are
other wholesale companies which arc

customers in our dry countless" the
ABC chairman said
One Greensboro resident was list

The report was accompanied by a

The liquor, he said, apparently is
being brought into North Carolina by
the purchasers.

tinued, 'the wholesale liquor company

At the Rotary District Conference
in Durham this week the Governors
Trophy, a handsome silver plaque,
will be presented to. the Chapel Hill
Rotary. Club which made the best
average record in attendance, new
members, and in measuring up to
other standards in a two-month con-
test recently conducted by Governor
John A. Park.
In winning the Governors award,
the Chapel Hill Club beat out 40 other
clubs in District 189 which stretches
from Greensboro in the Piedmont to
Beaufort on the coast.
The Chapel HillianS also will be
presented another trophy, a gong, a

The Chapel He'll Club would hardly
be described as, an orthodox Rotary
organization. SIt&seldom sings, mainly
perhaps because it's members have
such poor voices; is not strict in en-
forcing Rotary rules except during
contests, and pays little attention to
the observance of weeks in celebra-
