to provide the means to avoid starva-
tion for many families overseas.
Spinach, lettuce, radishes and
some other early crops are at their
best in the spring, Stark advised, and
suggested that plans for new plant
ings to replace these early crops be
ready when these early crops are
past their prime. This is one of the
best ways to get great deal of food
out of small garden space. With the
relatively long growing season that
most Maryland gardeners have, many
crops can be grown to harvest condi-

CAPE FEAR sKYSCRAPER-1

CAPE FEAR SKYSCRAPER-The
news that the board of managers
of James Walker Memorial hospi-
tai is planning to hoist a shyscrap-
er unit above the old structure
makes us gasp, with considerable
delight, for breath.
We haven't seen a skyscraper
since we were in Manhattan last
spring, and u eyes ache for the
sight of one towering against the
heaveas-the Cape Fear heavens.
It's high time, we think, that
Wilmington had a skyscraper, be-
cause a skyscraper is as essential
to a modern city as a hot water
spigot to a modern bathroom.
PUZZLEMENT-The news of the
skyscraper also makes us scratch
u head with puzzlement.
We have tried, and failed, to
discover when James Walker Mem
orial hospital was built.
This much we do know: James
Walker, stonemason, contractor,
and general builder, was born in
Douglas, Lenarkshire, Scotland,
on April 20, 1926.
He came to the United States
in 1916 and worked on such famous
national landmarks as the Capitol
building and the Smithsonian insti-
tute.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-07-02
Al0ngThe Cape Fear

NO ANSWERS-We also know he
built the Marine hospital here in
1857 and the First Presbyterian
church and the D. R. Murchison
residence in we don't know when.
Further, we know he built the
Morganton State institution, also
in we don't know when.
Lastly, we know he died on
March Is, 1901, and that the .aospi-
tai Was nots complete at that time.
But when he laid the cornerstone
and when the doors were thu own
open for the first patient and who,
for that matter, the first patient
was are questions to which we
have, we blush to say, no answer.
MEMORY-LAMPS-We blush, be-
cause we really ought to know those
answers. A skyscraper, you are all
well aware, isn't built in Whining
ton every day of the year.
1t is, to say the least, a most
momentous event. But to give such
an event its full acclaim it is neces-
sary, we believe, that a full history
OF the structure to which the NOM
entous event is happening be
brought to light.
Well, the light we've shed upon
it SO far is like to a FREELY

SURPLUS SHIPS

TOBACCO QUOTAS
SET FOR SEASON
Figures Depend Upon APP.
proval AT Referendum
July II

WASHINGTON, July /. -(P-
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
announced Monday that the 1947
marketing quota for flue-cured to-
bacco will be about LAB, 000, 00C
pounds if growers approve govern
ment controls on sales at a referen-
dunn to be held July IL.
Quotas must be approved by at
least % of the growers voting.
Slight Decrease
This proposed quota compares
with last years flue-cured crop OF
l, 174, 900, 900 pounds. On the basis
of the indicated acreage planted
and average yields, this years crop
would be 1,186, 900, 900.
Under the quota system, which
farmers already have approved for
the 1916 crop, growers selling in ex-
cess of their marketing shares are
subject to cash penalties.
Anderson said that if the quota
system is approved for 1947, each
grower will be given a planting
allotment. The total acreage allot-
ted will be 1,141, 900 compared with
l, 120, 900 in 1915 and 1,257,00 in
1916.
Preserve" Quota
OF the acreage to be allotted for
1947, a reserve" not exceeding
five per cent may be used for in
creasing allottments for small
farms and to provide allotments
for new tobacco farms.
AS compared with 1916, the 1947
acreage, as planned under the
quota system, means an average
reduction in allotments to most III
dividual farms of not more than
IA per cent. However, because OF
the reserve for small farm adjust
|ments and new farm allotments,
the net reduction in total acreage
would be about nine per cent.
Highest In History
The allotment for this years
crop was the highest in history
1t was established at that level te
replace war-depleted crops ir
foreign countries and to provide
supplies for heavy domestic usage,
Anderson pointed out that while
available information indicates tina
q somewhat smaller crop may be
needed next year, he is authorized
to increase the quota by any
amount up to 20 per cent, at any
time up to March l, 1947.
Flue-cured tobacco is grown
principally in Virginia, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Florida and
Alabama.

BRIGHTER FUTURE
SEEN FOR FARMS
Galphin Cheered By Pros
pect OF No OPA
Regulations

A pretty bright future" for the
farmers of New Hanover county
was forecast yesterday by R. w.
Galphin, county farm agent, pro
vided that the OPA stays dead"
1T was the OPA's ridiculouSly
low and unjust prices on farm
produce which has hamstrung the
farmer for so long," Galphin de-
clared.
OPA "PIow Under"
1T was the OPA which caused
over $3.50, 900 worth of New Han
over county lettuce, squash, and
radishes to be plowed under the
SOIL" he continued.
Nov that the OPA is dead,
the farmer once more stands a
chance to make a fair and reason
able profit on his task of feeding
the nation. And if it stays dead,
as 1 hope it will, the farmer has
a pretty bright future ahead OF
him."
OPA's death, Galphin said, coin
cides with the end of the county
spring-and-summer crops. 1.-The
fields are just about empty now,'
he said, land it won't be long be-
fore the farmers start blowing and
preparing for the fall season."
Fall CrOps Planned
He predicted that the fail crops
beans, spinach, mustard greens,
and other salad" vegetables-will
start being planted about the mid
die of August.
And l hope tina. by the time
they r ready for the harvest, the
OPA will be long gone and forgot
ten," he added. THE farmers
incentive will be fully restored;
and if we continue to have a mod
crate amount of rainfall the fall
crops should be the best in years."
Galphin did not, however, see
any immediate jump in local milk
output by New Hanover county
dairy farmers.

And So To Bed

As a local man was driving
through a small town en- route
to the mountains the other day,
his motor broke down on main
street.
BY chance a young fellow
dressed in oil-smutted overahs
and looking very much like an
auto mechanic was standing on
the street corner. The man
called him over to the car and
asked him whether he could
repair it.
In two minutes the motor
was running smoothly again.
cts a good thing you didn't
take your car to an automobile
dealer to get it fixed" the
mechanic said. "He would have
soaked you good for the job"
"Is that 500" said the man
"Who are you, anyway"
"I'm the town plumber
said the mechanic. "Who are
ycu?"
"I'm an automobile dealer

0'Daniels Again Plans
To Block Temporary Bill
Controversial Measure Would Return All
Old Powers To OPA Until July 20;
Cool Dorm .non+ Mooc,,ro "

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Representative J. Bayard Clark OF
Fayetteville, a member of the Rules committee, made one OF his
comparatively rare appearances in house debate Monday to urge
adoption of the resolution extending the OPA untM July 20.
Saying the average American doesn't understand why Con-
gress and the President can't get together on a price control
measure, Mr.. Clark called for swift action to avert the greatest
economic crisis in our history"
His colleagues appIauded after he warned them that "the whole
wide world" would feel the adverse effects if the United States
falls into Economic chaos, for this is the last solvent nation
On earth.
Mr.. Clark who voted for price control without the amend
ments which the President criticized, said the necessity for the
temporary extension was cas- much our fault as the chief execu-
tive's." MIR. Clark told reporters he voted to override the veto
because he felt the compromise bill was the only OPA measure
obtainable now.
