Damage Due to Late ;
Harvesting Varies
Considerably
Favorable weather during the past:
week in the Vtrginia-Carolina area j
resulted in resumption of harvesting
of peanuts still in the field and some
increase in the movement of farmers ,
Stock. This movement, however, still
continues light Damage in this late
harvested stock varies considerably. .
Some lots do not show excessively
heavy damage considering the late:
date for harvesting, while other lots,
show a very high percentage of dam
age. In the Southeast movement of '
farmers' stock peanuts to mills has
been extremely light. Most of the
remaining farmers’ stock are being
held for seed. In the Southeast some
mills have ample seed supplies, while
Others appear to be a little short.] 1
Planting continues in a limited way inj
south Texas. In the Southeast plant-j 1
ing is still several Weeks away unless. 1
an unusually early period of warm,
dry weather prevails. Some mills ;
in both the Southeast and Southwest :
are now using a fairly large propor-]'
tion of their available labor for mix- 1
ing fertilizer and to a limited extent
to the preparation of seed.
Demand for cleaned and shelled
goods in all sections continues far
in excess of the available supply, with
the exception of cleaned fanevs in |
the Virginia-Carolina area. There;
seems to be some accumulation of
fancys in the hands of some millers.!
For other grades in all sections prac
tically the entire movement is under j
previous commitments. Sales f. o. b.

FIGURING THINGS OUT
ytaZatfeitffy'
Awhile back I was learning Sonny how to handle
a shotgun so he could figure out where Brer Rabbit
natchelly was going to be on his next jump. Sonny
got the idea mighty quick for a boy his age. Maybe
it’s because he’s noticed how us farmers always tries
to do things the natchel way. For instance, it just
comes natchel to use Chilean soda to give our crops
a quick start and keep ’em growing strong and
healthy.
Us farmers has been using natchel soda for more
than a hundred years. Seems like just being natchel
makes it different from any other kind.
Maybe folks wont be able to get all the soda they
tcant this season , but if we’re careful with what we
get it may do.

Attempt To Reorganize i

Willie Goodwin, Jr., former presi
dent of the Junior Civic League and
vice president of the colored post of
the American Legion, is active .in re
organiging the Junior Civic League.
At a meeting to discuss reorganiza

it is service that our community needs,
most and that “we nuist lend an ear
to a just cause, working together to
correct things when they go wrong.
We must humble ourselves and be a
servant for humanity. The age of
selfishness has long passed and gone
and we must strive to do a courage- ,
ous part toward falling humanity.
Let us respond to a cause that is.,
worthwhile, a cause that has been
made prevalent through long and bit-,
ter suffering of falling humanity.
Let us continue our efforts to servo
our community, for by so doing wo
are serving our Gold and our nation."
