Franklin County Agent Dean Reports Tobacco Crop Off 25 Percent In hU monthly report to the County Commissioners, County Agricultural Agent, C. T. Dean, Jr. discloses that tobacco In come In the county may he off as much as 25 percent. Dean, who Is presently In Pittsburgh, Pa. to receive a National Ser vice Award for his services to Franklin County farmers, reports a short cotton crop and "one of the best corn crops on record." Dean's report follows: Farmers are itlll In the pro cess of marketing their 1965 tobacco crop. Earlier In the marketing season farmers In general were not too pleased with the way their tobacco was selling. During the past two weeks prices have picked up on several grades. Heavy leaching rains during the growing season created some problems In tobacco pro duction, but most farmers fol lowed the recommended prac tices necessary to make a good quality crop. This was espe cially trite during harvest sea son when they allowed the crop to get thoroughly ripe. As tlfe end of the tobacco marketing season nears It ap pears that Franklin County's tobacco Income will be oft near ly 25% as compared to 1964. Weather conditions, acreage reductions, and tthe new acre age-poundage program contri buted to the decrease. The new acreage-poundage program will be an asset to many In dividuals In that they may carry forward to 1966 any pounds that they were short of on this year's poundage quota. Most farmers report that their cotton yields are coming up short. Excess rain and one of the worst boll weevil and boll worm Infestations ever have cut yields. Some farmers that were k able to control insects are making a bale or more per acre. John Lee Wilder, Route 2, Frankllnton, has pick ed 40 bales on his 37 acres. Many are harvesting their crop by machine. Farmers have begun harvest ing the best corn crop ever. Several buyers report that their storage facilities are already filled to capacity. fllaAjtui WzlJL Qompany. WELL BORING - DEEP WELL DRILLING WARRENTON. N. C. "A Well A Day- The Martin IV ty" N. C.

TAYLOR (HARDWARE FURNITURE East Nash Street Phone GY 6-3423 Louisburg, N. C. A recent survey shows that 90% of the county's tobacco farmers have cut their tobacco stalks and plowed out the roots. Many seeded a winter cover crop on the land. Rotation of tobacco with Ne matode resistant crops long has been recognized on one of the best and most practical methods of controlling nema todes. Rotation can Increase the value per acre several hun dred dollars as compared with continuous tobacco culture. Ex periment Station results and farmers' results the past few years have shown Fescue to be one of the. best crops to use In a tobacco rotation. With this In mind more and more acres of Fescue for rotation are being seeded each year. Also, many farmers are using Fescue In rotation with other crops. The majority seed the fescue In with small grain. Many farmers are taking ad vantage of the good weather to harvest their cotton. Even though the yield will be low due to Insect damage and ex cess rain farmers realize that top quality brings top price. They also realize that to have top quality you must harvest early and keep It cjean and dry. At least three new mechanical cotton harvesters have been added this season. Franklin County farmers Doctors Talk By Rembert Benjamin, M.D. Infectious mononucleosis, or "glandular fever" has become a fairly commonly encountered disease among children and young adults. The groups most frequently affected of all are those in high school and college. The actual cause of this disease process Is not defi nitely known; however, all ex perimental evidence leads us to believe It results from a virus infection. It apparently is not a highly contagious Infection, and does not have epidemic qualities. The mode of transmission is thought to be from direct contact. The usual picture Is very similar to that seen In an acute viral Infection. There Is a characteristic period of on set accompanied by sore throat, nasal stuffiness, coughing, headache, and the general complaints of influenza. One of the characteristic features with this disease is general ized enlargement of the lymph glands, particularly with those in the back of the neck. Probably the most Important reason for recognizing gland ular fever early Is that treat ment, although very simple, Is at the same time extremely singular. Absolute and strict bed rest Is mandatory, and Is required usually from three to six weeks. Many times sub-cllnlcal or unrecognized acute phases of this disease occur, followed by a disguised remission for a period of time. In these cases there is later a gradual loss of energy, sluggishness and head aches and other symptoms of general malaise, and posslbiy a low-grade fever. These un fortunate individuals are more resistant to a prompt recovery once the sub-acute or chronic process had developed. This disease Is usually not serious or fatal. However, it can be extremely debilitating, when it occurs In an extremely active and vital group of in dividuals. You will long remember the savory crunch of these Crisp Lemon Cookies with tea. For 8 dozen cookies grease baking sheets and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream together 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter or margarine until light and fluffy. Blend in 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind and 1 tea spoon lemon extract. Beat In 2 eggs, one at a time. Add 4 cups sifted enriched self rising flour alternately with 2 tablespoons milk. Beat well after each addition. Chill dough at least 2 hours or until It can be easily handled. Roll 1/8 inch thick and cut with 2-lnch cookie cutter. Place on baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately remove to wire racks and cool. You can still make many friends by speaking nicely about people. It can be said of modern busi ness leaders that some die, but few retire.
