TRUCK PROGRAM
HELD FAVORABLE
Strickland And Galphin
Pleased With Results Of
AAA Conference

Recommendations favorable to
truck crop growers in Southeastern
North Carolina under the 1941 ag-
ricultural adjustment administra'
ton program were adopted by the
executive committee of the nation
al vegetable conference in Wash
ington, D. c., this week, Harry S.
Strickland and r. w. Galphin, who
attended the meeting, reported yes
terday.
The conference expressed the be-
lief there should eventually devel.
op a coordinated program which
would aim for tn sterilization Of
production and effective marketing
plans within the industry to the
end that reasonable income would
be restored to vegetable growers.
Representatives pledged them
selves to render assistance in fur
thering the work and desire to as.
sure extension service agencies
that vegetable growers will pro.
duce for consumers adequate
quantities Of quality vegetables at
reasonable prices.
The conference recommended
that under the program all vege.
tables, whether annual or peren-
NAL, including Strawberries a n d
rhubarb, grown for marketing
fresh or for processing, shall be
classified as vegetables.
All coWpeas, sweet potatoes
when harvested for market, bulbs
and flowers, shall not be classified
as vegetables, the conference re-
commended.
A recommendation that the pay
ment rate per acre for the vege-
table acreage allotment and de-
duction rate per acre for vegeta-
bles planted in exees of the acre
age allotment remain as in 1910
was also made by the conference.
The confence urged the design
alton Of all counties in which 100
acres Of vegetables for m a r k ct
have been produced as vegetable
counties, and continuation Of the
present sol, building practices.
The committee recognized h e
need for extensive organization of
the vegetable industry in order to
bring about effective education and
cooperation within the industry. It
recommended that funds and per-
sonnet be made available through
the extension service Of the U. S.
department Of agriculture and with
cooperation of the AAA in order to

CHICAGO, June 7-R-War
news, which seemed more cheerful
to grain traders today, encouraged
enough buying to lift wheat prices
more than a cent a bushel.
Reports Of the spread Of smut in
soft winter wheat, strength in Sc
curities and development of wealth
or in the southwest believed to be
more favorable for black rust also
encouraged buyers. Some purchas-
ing was attributed to northwestern
-four interests.
Wheat as well as other grains
closed at about the best level of
the day, with the principal cereal
l IA to l 5-8 cents higher than yes
terday, July 81 to 80 rs, September
81 So to IL. Corn finished un-
changed to SO up. July 63 3-8 to IL,
September 81 7-8 to g.; oats un-
changed to 3-8 higher; rye 1-8 to
IL up and lard II to % higher.
Some buying of wheat came from
previous short sellers. B. w. Snow,
crop expert, said presence of smut
in winter wheat is reported over
a large area, especially severe in
the soft winter wheat states of the
Ohio valley. He had reports from
central Illinois that as much as 10
per cent Of the heads in some fields
were destroyed.
The weather map showed rains
fell in the southwest and temper
atures were high, which some deal
ers regarded as suggesting posi-.
Bile spread of rust. Kansas state
college botanists reported rust is
in many fields in central areas.
Some strength in wheat also was
associated with reports that the
government intends to buy over
the weekend quantities Of whole
wheat flour and cereal for relief
distribution. Recently some private
flour business is believed to have
been worked because Of the fact
that prices Of wheat we're near the
minimums. l

To Be Signed Here

New Hanover county yesterday

for enlistment in the Civilian Con-

July l, J. R. Hollis, public welfare
superintendent, was advised by
T. L. Grier, supervisor Of CCC Sc.
lection.
The date and place for enroll.
ment for nine colored boys from
the county in the July CCC quota
will be announced later, Hollis
said.
White boys who enlist will be
sent to CCC encampments in the
western part Of the United States
and parents must give their writ
ten consent to this arrangement.
In connection with the current
CCC enrolment, Hollis acknowled-
ged receipt of the following letter
from the director Of the CCC corps
which reads in part:
1.-THE CCC is not a part Of the
army of the country. While I am
sure that if they are needed to
defend the nation or uphold its
right, CCC men would be among
the first to respond to a call for
such duty. Enrollees cannot, under
existing laws. be indicted into
these armed forces. They would
enlist or be drafted into national
defense service just as any others
of their age not in the CCC."
