My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

DeKalb County's Hemp Production to Expand in 1944
From the February 27, 2019, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1944, 75 Years Ago.
"According to the announcement made this morning by E.E. Houghtby, the manager of the War Henp Industries at Shabbona, the hemp quota for DeKalb County will be increased by several hundred acres this year.
"He stated that due to the extension of the hemp program in DeKalb County for 1944 it appears there will be an opportunity or new growers to sign contracts for production of this essential fiber crop."
