THREE YEAR WEED
PROGRAM OFFERED
Loss OF Important Export To-
bacco Markets Results
In New Proposal

RALEIGH, June 16-Loss of i'm
portant export tobacco markets as
a result of the European war has
caused the birth of a three-year
control program on which flue'
cured leaf growers will vote in July,
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer
of N. C, State college, said today.
Congressional action has set up
amendments to the present AAA
program which will allow conrroll-
ed production in 1871, 1912, and 1913
if a two-thirds majority of growers
vote in favor of the plan.
Last year, flue-cured leaf farm
ers produced a crop under no re-
strictions. AS a result, a 100000
900 pound surplus was piled up to
slut the market. On top of t.1at,
beginning of the present conflict
last September, throwing further
confusion into an already democrat
lied market.
Following the British action,
North Carolina and other southern
farmers readily approved market
ing quotas on the 1910 crop in Or
der that the government could
work out a loan agreement to take
up hat portion of the crop normal
ly bought by England.
Even with this assistance, Floyd
pointed out, the average price paid
for the 1889 crop was only 14.S
cents a pound, as compared with
an average price of 22.9 cents for
the previous five-year period.
And today" the State college
AAA officer went on, "the situa-
ton is even worse than last year.
The war has destroyed or badly
manned other markets, and the
British have taken up only n
million pounds of the IT'S 900. 900
pounds bought for them by the U.
S. government. In addition, the
huge surplus from last cal still
hangs heavily over the market"
Meetings to acquaint growers
with provisions of the ~three-year
controlled production plan will be-
gin soon in all flue-cured tobacco
counties.

In most cases, Floyd pointed
out, the l941 farm allotments
are changed but little from the
1910 %aIlotments, except on indl-

changes have been made in farm

such changes take rotations III

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When Peter the Great ordered
the building of st. Petersburg (now
Leningrad) he took step to give
Russia a badly needed seaport.
Much of Russias history is to be
explained by efforts to obtain sea-
ports.
Russia was not so large in Peters
time as it Is today, but even then
1t covered most of Eastern Europe.
Despite that, it had no ice-free port,
which would give Russian ships en-
try to the Baltic Sea and the At
lantic Oceon. The port at ST..
Petersburg was closed by ice, as it
is today, during the winter months.
Peter the Great died early in jan
uary, 1725, from an illness which
had been brought on, in part, by a
brave deed. Seeing some sailors in
danger of drowning, he had jumped
into icy water and had helped to
save them. A cold followed, and
then other illness.
We might tell of other persons
who ruled Russia in the 81 years
which followed, but this is only a
short history of the country and
we must now take up the next i'm
portant ruler-Catherine the Great.
There are many who think she was
not truly great. and so did not de-
serve the name. You may judge
on this point as our story goes on.
AS child, Catherine was Ger
man princess. When only 16 years
of age she married the heir to the
Russian throne At the time of her

wedding she changed her name
from Sophia to Catherine and also
changed her faith from Lutheran to
Greek Catholic.
GATHERINGS husband was raised
to the throne in 1851, but he did
not enjoy the honor long. Cath
crime carried out plot to take the
power from him, then she became
the ruler of Russia The husband
was made a prisoner, and died
shortly afterward. The story was
given out that he had died of dis
ease, but it seems more likely that
he was murdered.

plot Brought Power to Catherine
BY Fred Nehe'

When she became Russia's ruler
Catherine was 80 years old. She
had a clever mind and strong
will. Officers of the state did not
dare to stand in her way when she
wanted to do something.
At one time Catherine called to-
gether men from many parts of her
empire. She listened while they
talked about laws which they
thought should be made for the
good of the country.
After listening to what was said,
Catherine made plans to bring
about some changes. Perhap she
would.have done much good If there
had not come to Russia a state of
war. In the years which followed
there was fighting against Poland,
against Turkey and against Sweden.
In our next story we shall see what
happened to Poland while this en-
press was on the throne.

West opened a club. Dummy
played the queen. East the ace and
the return of the 10 forced the
king. Declarer then drew trumps
and, as he still had a losing club,
took the spade flnesse. When this
went wrong, East also cashed a club
to set the hand two tricks.
Feeling that he had erred, South
asked us If the hand could have been
made. Our answer was yes, provided
only that the trumps were divided.
After the club return, dummy'S ace
of spades should be played, then a
small spade trumped. Declarer should
then lead diamonds twice to dummy
and trump two more spades in his
own hand. Next dummy's three
trumps should be played and, as
South would have only two trumps
left, he could discard his club.
South's ace-king of diamonds would
take the last two tricks.
The II tricks won by this line of
play would consist of the following:
One club trick. one spade trick, three
ruffs by South, dummys three top
trumps and four diamond tricks. In
other words, by trumping three
spades in his own hand declarer
would have made six tricks in
trumps.

LYNCH BILL FACES SENATE
FILIBUSTER BY so. TORIES

Washington. Apr, (CNA)-An open
threat of Southern fillibuster against
the anti-lynching bill voiced here by
Senators Connolly of Texas and Biibo
of Mississippi as the Senate Judiciary
Committee voted, IL to a, to report the
bill to the Senate floor.
Senator Connolly, one of the quartet
opposing a favorable vote on the meas
ure, declared that the opposition would
resist the bill ito the utmost"
Connolly was generalissimo of the to-
ry forces, in 1888, deadlocked the Sem
ate for eighteen days to thwart the
will of the Senate majority and the
American people "The Mannerheim
line won't even be starter to the
fight we'll put on" the Texan threat
ened.
"And l." said Bilbo will give them
everything I've got in my shop" In
the 1888 filibuster Bilbo indu1ged in
the most virulent abuse and slander OF
the Negro people.
Friends of the measure pointed out
this week that the delay of the Senate
Judiciary COMMITTEE in reporting out
the bill worked in favor of the fill
busters. The international Labor De.
fense declared:
| "Part of nv filibustering technique
| IS to delav as long as possible bring

Although, it has been 1910 years
since our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ assembled with His disciples in
the Upper Room, in Jerusalem to
talk over the plans of the Kingdom of
God, and it was just after the pass
over that He said to His disciples
with desire | have desired to this
passover with you before I suffer and
He took bread, and blessed it, and
brake it, and gave it to His disciples,
and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks,
and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye
all of it: For this is my blood of the
new testament which is shed for many
for the remission of sins. But / say
unto you, will not drink henceforth
of the fruit of the vine until that day
