C- G. POINDEXTER,
10-16-4tM Sheriff Wilkes County
Raleigh.—North Carolina farm
ers are again in a favored position
regarding their 1944 crop year
according to Frank Parker, crop
reporting service statistician of
the N. C. Department of Agricul
ture. Of course setbacks, floods,
droughts, insect pests, late sprin.g
plantings, extreme shortage of la
' bor. war time prices of things
farmers must buy, lack of ade
quate transportation, and other
handicaps have been experienced.
The big thing is that despite all
all these, by overtime work of
“old men, wives, children, and
the rare real farm “young” men,
farms have produced almost rec
ord crops. Prices have been gen
erally good, but comparable
profits with other industries are
rare. Tractors have often been
operated all night. Livestock was
eared tor during the dark morn
ing and evening hours. There was
no loafing on the farms.
The labor shortage is telling
now. declared Parker. The harv
est of cotton is far behind, prep
aration for fall seeding of small
grains has been delayed, and hay
making extended over a longer
period than usual.
The fall season has not been as
dry a.s usual. Thu.s. fall plowing
was permitted when time would
allow. Sojbean prospects are
poor due to insect ravages, late
summer pasturage about average
for most counties, and farm tniit
crops better than usual. Tobacco,
cotton, and peanuts as cash crops
made extra good yields per acre.
Yes sir. North C'arolina larmers
are sitting in the saddle in spit,’,
of many handicaps, said Parker.
Early in .-Yiigust crop prospects
were nnusually good, after serious
dry conditions prior to July 13th.
Corn promised to produce record
yields. While still good, rain
storms and dry weather in many
areas have reduced the prospective
crop. The fodder has turned
dark from mildew, making its
feeding ;'alatabili(y less valuable.
Vet the 21.’> bushel yield per .acre
is exceeded only liy the record
yields of 2 2 bushels produced in
!''41 and 1943. 'I’he total crop of
bushels is fourth high
est on recerd, despite attractive
ness of coii.Petitive crops.
Hay CHIPS are showing up well
for 194 4 despite variable and of
ten unfavorable dry and wet con
ditions. The average all hay Oc
tober yield estimate of 0.94 tons
per acre is about the same as last
year’s yield and 3 per cent above
the 10 year average, according to
Parker. The state’s production of
1,204,000 tons is larger than any
hay crop produced in the state
excepting last year’s record pro
duction.
Pastures have been extremely
variable. Eastern Carolina simply
had no pastures prior to mid-July.
The western counties were dry to
early August. Since then condi
tions have improved and pastures
are in much better shape. How
ever, reported conditions is still
one point lower than the 10-yea''
(1933 42) average for October 1.

Major Bong Gets
His 30th Jap Plane
Allied Headquarters, New Guin
ea.—Maj. Richard Ira Bong, lead
ing American ace, has run his
string to 30 Japanese planes shot
down.
Recently returned to action as
a gunnery instructor of the far
eastern air force, the Poplar, Wis.,
llier was credited officially with
downing two more enemy air
craft.
It had been understood that
Major Bong, on his second tour,
would make no combat missions.
But he accompanied his “class” of
lighter pilots on a recent mission
and they were jumped by more
than a score of Zeros.
Their teacher went to work. In
rapid succession, he sent two
down in flames.
When Hong lefl the i'acific af
tor his first tour he was credited
with 27 planes. However, he was
sure he had downed a plane over
Hollandia harbor although no one
else saw it fall, and it was listed
as a probable. He pinpointed the
position.
Salvage crews were .sent out by
Maj. Gen. Ennis Whitehead, com
mander of the h’ifth air force and
located the wreckage at the indi
cated point. That gave him his
28th.

Bern, who was named by the Na

of 194 4’ has again been ordered to
overseas duty,
Conderman became ‘‘fighting
mad” upon receipt of news that
his only son, Lt. Robert J. Conder-
man. Marine aviator, had been
killed by the Japanese in their
Initial attack on Wake island. Af
ter persistent efforts to enlist in
military service had been unsuc
cessful because ot his age he
learned to fly at his own expense,
saying that he planned to buy a
plane of his own to go and fight
the Japs.
Finally accepted by the Marine
corps as a mail officer because of
previous postal experience, he
went overseas with the First Ma
rine division. On Guadalcanal he
spent most of his spare time hunt
ing Japs in the jungle and is
credited with a number of kills.
After contracting malaria he re
turned to the United States and
was assigned to Camp I.,eJeune as
camp mail officer in charge of the
11 postoffices on that post.
Conderman’s new assignment of
duty will again take him to the
Pacific war zone as a mail officer.

Borneo Refineries
Allied Headquarters, New Gui
nea, Oct. 13.—Five groups of hea
vy bombers, escorted by fighters,
plastered the oil refineries at
Balikpapan, Borneo, Tuesday, it
was announced by headquarters.
A total of 135 tons of explosives
was unloaded on the vital petrole
um center which produces 15 per
cent of Japan’s aviation gasoline.
It wa.s the sixth and heaviest raid
in the neutralization campaign
against Balikpapan which was be
gun recently.
This raid also was the first es
corted attack on the Borneo base.
Fighter planes flew over 1,500
miles to protect the heavy bomb
ers, believed to be the greatest op
erational distance for fighters in
the history of aerial warfare.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s com
munique said the cracking plant
at Balikpapan had been rendered
totally and probably permanently
inoperable, and the paraffin re
finery was heavily damaged dur
ing the latest assault.
Thirty-six Japanese fighters
were destroyed, with 10 more
probably, during Tuesday’s raid.
American lossc-s were three bomb
ers and one fighter.

A PLAIN STATEMENT
ABOUT THE
PULPWOOD SITUATION
P ULPWOOD CUTTERS, contractors and producers can justly
feel proud of the job they are doing in increasing the production
of a vital War Material. Although the demands of War for Pulp-
'wood are far greater than the supply, the emergency is being met the
American Way—hy doin^ something about it.
This Battle Is Far From Won
The products of Pulpwood—Paper and Paperboard-are classified by
the War Production Board as the Natioris Number One Critical War
Shortage. The shortage is still serious and the more men we ship over
seas, the more territory we occupy, the more shooting that is done, the
more pulpwood will be needed to deliver the goods on schedule.
The Need Will Continue
