P. Humphrey of Proc-torville, N. C.

arrived in Hartford Sunday to enlist the Connecticut growers in his drive. Most of the tobacco-growers, he claims, regret the outcome of the December 10 referendum in which the marketing quotas failed by a narrow margin of the two-thirds vote required by the Agricultural Adjustment Act for the continuance of the quotas. The negative vote, he asserts, was the result of a campaign engineered by the large tobacco concerns of the nation. Mr. Humphery has traveled through most of the Southern tobacco states urging the farmers to petition their congressmen for a new referendum.

He is also seeking a revision in the national farm act making imposition of the quotas dependent on a simple majority vote rather than on a twro-thirds majority as now required. "Without marketing quotas there threatens to be such an expansion of the 1939 crop that no one will make any money," he said. Accelerated Badness. Truro, N. S.

There the residents recall a fright they had some time ago over a strange animal in the woods.
