have decided to give to this all-
important drive, but have put
off their contributions. I want to
urge them to wait no longer.
“Although 55 counties have
gone over their goal, we are
still about 25 per cent short oi
the money needed to insure an
adequate and increased program
of education, research, and ser-
vice in the coming year.
“In every county I am

immediately send the gift to state
headquarters in Houston."

Mr. Hobby reminded workers

Questionnaire
During the1 Lavaca County
ACA County Committee meeting
that was held Thursday, June 3,
at their office Ih Hallettsville, Mr.
Edgar Freytag, Chairman of the
Committee, announced his office
was now in the process of meas-
uring 1948 peanut acreages
excess of 1.0 acre that will
picked or threshed this year.
All known 1948 peanut growers
were mailed a questionnaire on
May 1 which in part requested ended the game,
that each producer notify the
ACA • office when they were
through planting their peanuts,
in order that reporters would
then be in position to call at
their farms to measure the acre-
ages. Freytag said “those produ-
cers that have not reported with
this questionnaire, if their pee*,
nuts have been planted, should do
so immediately.”
There are no allotment restric-
tions on the 1948 crop but meas-
uring this years’ acreages will
give the Department of Agricul-
ture better records for establish-
ing 1949 and 1950 peanut allot-
ments if they should be imposeo
by the Secretary of Agriculture
as provided by a Referendum
held in December, 1947, which
carried by a two-thirds majority
for three ;
1948 allotments were suspended.

a 1948 automobile can be brought
for $1600, in view of the fact
that most automobiles seem to
be going into huge black markets
i that are commonplace in large
cities and in-which new '48
models often sell at 25 or 2b
hundred dollars .. . ( l
LOCAL DEALERS deserve
credit, for providing a way to
beat the black market through a
written contract with terms per-
mitting no resale of a new car
unless it is sold back to the
dealer. Under those conditions
persons intending to keep cars or
trucks for their own use have
avoided the necessity of paying
black market prices for passenger
