 The bill exempts from militia service all persons exempted by United States laws such as judges, court members and officers of the Alaska Legislature. It provides that the guard will consist of members of the militia who shall be volun- tarily enlisted The Federal gov- ernment shall equip the units.
 The measure would make the Territorial Government the ex of ficio commander of the militia and of the Alaskan National Guard when not in Federal service. The Secretary of War, under the bill, is authorized to issue arms and equipment to the Territorial Guard.

BRUNSWICK BOOSTS
WHEAT PLANTING
County Agent J. E. Dobson
Reports 200 Acres Being
Grown This Year

SOUTHPORT, Jan. -. - Never
noted as small grain growing coun-
ty, experiments have been made in
Brunswick county during the past
three or four years, with results of
such an encouraging nature that
County Agent J. E. Dodson states
that over 200 acres are being grown
in wheat this year.
Last year in the lower part of the
county wheat averaged 80 bushels to
the acre. At the Oaks Plantation,
directly on the Cape Fear river and
in the eastern section of the county,
they have been averaging 20 bushels
Of wheat to the acre for the past
four years. This Oaks Plantation
production is an exceptionally good
yield for so near the coast.
Mr.. Dodson says that small COM
bines are largely responsible for
small grain farming moving into the
coastal areas and eastern North
Carolina. Another factor is that, he
believes, small grain will do even bet
ter here than it will in the Pied
mont.
During the past few months new
the neighboring county of Columbus.
This mill has been a great encourage
ment, this winter, to more farmers
planting wheat and other small
grain.
This winter over 100 acres Of bar
ley and 400 acres of oats are being
grown, in addition to the wheat.
| These crops, and some 200 acres of
Austrian winter peas, are looking ex-
| tremely well. The winter peas are
worthless for feed, but extremely
valuable as a soil improver. MI.
Dodson estima ,es their value on
Brunswick county lands as soil i'm.
proved to be not less than $1,000
per acre.
In March, he says, much of the
small grain acreage will have lespe.
deZa sown along with the grain. This
will result in two crops with only
| OllC pl Cpdl dllOll VI lllO oO1l. llS 1CS'
pedeza, in addition to the forage, is a
great improver.
Stating that the price on hogs had
been dragging bottom for the past
two years, Mr.. Dodson anticipates
that Brunswick county, where swine
raising is carried on rather e-+ ~
sively, will get better prices for both
pork and hogs on the hoof during
the next two or three years. About
the so-called cash crops Of cotton
and tobacco, he is not so optimistic.
Cotton may bring fairly good price,
he thinks, still, the farmers here in
Brunswick must gradually make a
change from their present cropping
system.

Cotton Growers Offered
$25,OOO,OOO In Goods

WASHINGTON, Jan. H. Up -
The Agriculture department Offered
cotton growers $25,000,O0O worth Of
cotton goods free today if they would
reduce 1941 paintings sufficiently tc
cut a million bales off the govern
ment's previously announced pro-
duction goal of 100000 bales.
The offer was made, Secretary
Wickard said, because the war had
virtually closed export markets, and
action was needed to prevent further
accumulation of surpluses under
government loans. Loan stocks now
total about 100000 bales.
Under the offer, each cotton farm
er agreeing to further reduction
in his acreage would receive govern
ment stamps which could be used
for purchase of cotton goods at regu-
lar retail stores. The stamps would
be redeemed by the Agriculture de-
partment.
