Improving hlg city mo- . Floyd Gives Reason For Leaf Balloting Farmers have been growing moro' flue-cured tobacco than the demand called for, E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of N. C. State College, said in explaining why growers will vote In a leaf referendum July 20. Consumption of flue-cured to bacco In cigarettes and smoking and chewing tobacco Increased a- bout 13,000,000 pounds In 1939 over 1938. However, the 1939 409,0094000 poun^ larger than the current estimated level of world consump tion. This surplus will continue to depress *prlces until It can be eliminated. “This Is why it is so import ant,” Floyd stated, “that North Carolina growers should continue their efforts to adjust the supply to the dema'd under the propos ed 3-year marketing quota pro gram. “Flue-cured tobaced,” ho con tinued, “is a benefit to farmers only If it returns an Income a- bove the expense of growing It. While surplus suptplies are on the' market, it Is less profitable than it should be, and may even he unprofitable. Therefore, t h e quicker supplies are brought In line with demand, and kept in line, the better farmers’ income from flue-cured tobacco will be.” Floyd quoted J. B.

He was always liked by all who knew him and It Is said of him he had but few If any ene mies. He was twice married and both of his wives preceeded him to the grave. Mr. Vilas Walsh and family happened to a very distressing automobile accident some days ago on highway No. 18 near Boomer, when his car collided with a car going In opposite direc tions. Mr. Walsh together with the members of his family were rather painfully bruised and Mrs. Walsh had some bones broken about her face.

Both of these young people aro needed to eliminate the 1939 sur plus if consumption remains at normal levels along with normal yields and allotments equal to those for 1940. A two-thirds majority will be necessary to pass the 3-year pro gram. If more than one-third vote’ against any control, either the 3-year program or control for 1941 only, tobacco will be pro duced without Federal regulation. Wilkes Child 111 From Snake Bite Elkin. — Dennis Plnnix, 10- year-old son of Mrs. Alice Plnnix Is very ill at the home, three miles west of Elkin, as the result of a snake-bite wound suffered when he ■was bitten on the ankle by a large copperhead snake on the farm. The lad had been chopping corn in a field, adjacent to a strip of woodland and, while walking at the edge of the forest, stepped upon the reptile, which he had failed to observe colled on the ground. He was brought to the office of an Elkin physician fo? immediate aittentlon after the attack by the snake. According to the puncture by the reptile’s fangs, the snake must have been a large one. —•v4e*T>'.- Miss Rubv Ddl Watts Is Hostess At Party Taylorsville, July 13.—^Alter the Blledge-Watts wedding ro- heanal In the First Baptist chi/rch of TaylorevlUe Monday evening, Mias Rn-i»/ Dell Watte en- te^lned at a cake-cutting at her home as a courtesy to the couple In whose weddinifi Miss Watts served as msid of honor. Sk'\' . -rr-TSi:^ tm-Vt rale Is a vital aspect of national defense.’’ The nation’s pofrnlatlon, he continued, is now about equally divided, a third each to great city, small city and town and rural areas. ’Therefore, he deduc ed, "urbanism Is no longer the dominant feature In our national life, as rurallsm was in the ear lier days. “Current popmlation trends in dicate that It the great cities, particularly their central dis tricts, are not desirable, even their suburbs in general aro not considered the most attractive places. “The urban slacking is all a- long the line, but generally speak ing It is 50 per cant more aggra vated for the great cities than for the lesser ones. In the suburban field, to which so many look hopelully, the larger suburbs show relative ly and unexpectedly slight gains. This is true even of residential suburbe^lftlcH “V**®*^. In the ebtretry lori^generat RvtBF conditions. • .u “It may well turn out that the many and rapidly Increasing num ber of small suburbs and Interur- ban places wrell-located laterally from groups of suburbs and be tween metropolitan dlstricte, will show the largest gains. The zone of growth seems to be beyond 20 miles from the larger cities.” The nation, Prof. Bailey as serted, “needs criteria of judging business and society different from the traditional one of mere numbers. Quantitative standards must now—and quickly—be re placed by qualitative ones. Our people ami their leaders will need to see things from this new point of view to meet the n^w trends disclosed by the current census.” SNIPES ENTERS ON DUTIES AS WILKES FARM AGENT TODAY (Continued from page onel pared to do an excellent work here.
