Whiteville Mart
| To Close Oct. 14
Local Tobacco Market Will
Close On Thursday; Over
19,000,000 Pounds Have
Been Sold To Date;
Prices Strong
Sales Supervisor M. S. Smith
announced today that the sea*
$on's sales on the Whiteville
-?j
mart to ciaic womu paso mc
JD.OOO.OOO pound mark. The local
market will close Thursday.
Oct. 14. after experiencing the
best season in its entire history.
Sales Supervisor M. S. Smith
is making a special appeal to
all farmers in this section who
still have tohacco to sell to rush
it to the market at once. With
the type of weather we arc having.
Smith declares, the weed is
in grave danger of rotting.
The prices on the Whiteville
Market are very good and an
unusually large number of outstanding
sales have been made
recently. Mr. Bullard of the
Oak Dale section sold 5 lots of
choice tobacco which ranged in
price up to 77 cents. Another
local farmer sold 175 lbs. which
averaged him 61 cents.
The present season has been
unusual in that the prices for,
tobacco at the closing of the,
season are as high or perhaps
higher than they were at the
beginning. Even scrap tobacco is
bringing a very satisfactory
price.
Gives Advice On
Strip Cropping
Cardwell Urges The Use Of
Stable Manure In Building
Up Gulleys In Field;
Advises Soil Conservation
(By GUY A. CARDWELL)
"Maintenance of strip cropping
consists in maintaining a thick
MM/<ii>tli of oecinc in thn nrntno.
givn in \'i v* v?|.?o in i.iiv vvvv
tive strips and in keeping the
strip in the proper position on
the field."
i What has been said regarding
crop rotation' maintenance will
apply in large measure to strip
crop maintenance. Weak places
In the strip, that is. places where
the vegetative cover does not
Jb furnish sufficent protection
against erosion, should be reinforced
with additional seed and
fertilizer. Well rotted stable
manure will always be found to'
be more effective for this purpose
than commerical fertilizer.
Where a small gully is beginn-1
jfi? to form across the strip, it j
will be necessary to plow in topsoil
and also to fertilize and to
reseed. A little straw or other >
fitter placed in the bottom of
Jhe gully before plowing is very
effective. Where the gully has |
been allowed to assume larger
proportions it may be advisable, j
in addition to the above treatpent,
to pave the area lightly
.with small brush anchored firmly
to the ground.
( Where crops are rotated in
strips the badly washed places
or deep draws should remain in
the close-growing crop, even
when that strip is in row crop.
Prompt action in repairing a
ll'amaged section of a strip is
especially important if strip cropping
is to be effective in controlling
erosion over a period of
years.
H Strips of permanent hay should
be kept free of weeds by
thorough preparation of the seed
bed by the use of only high
quality seed in amounts sufficent
to establish a thick growth
the first year, and by judicious
clipping. The hay should be cut
at the proper time and high enough
from the ground to avoid
retarding the next growth. When
it becomes necessary to plow up
ja permanent strip, such as alfal1
fa, and use for cultivated crops
for one or more years, lespedeza
oi} clover should be grown in the
area between these strips during
this period.
The contour lines laid out for
Arip cropping where there are
no terraces should be maintained
by plowing a back furrow at

Wild Duck Crop
Best In Years,
Survey Reveals
New York.?The largest migration
of wild ducks in three J
I years will be heading southward,
as duck hunting seasons open in j
| northern states on October 9, ac-1
! cording to a survey by the More j
Game Birds Foundation.
1' The webfoot increase, however,
will be nothing for duck hunters
to become excited about, the
Foundation warns. America's
' wild ducks hit the bottom of the
worst wildfowl depression in his(tory
in 1934 and almost any turn
\! for the better can now be recorded
as an increase.
I Heavier rainfall in north cenj
tral states which reflooded the
drought-stricken sections of the
j great mid-continental "duck facI
tory" brought larger duck crops
during the summer breeding seajson.
Minnesota records a 50 per
I cent, increase, mainly of teal;
| Nebraska and North Dakota, 25 j
. per cent., and South Dakota 50
i per cent.
Aiding the waterfowl come;
| back in this hard hit duck pro.
ducing section have been $21,!
j 769,337 of federal funds and $1,
1248,851 of "Duck Stamp" fees
,; used for waterfowl refuge establishment
the past three years.
' "However," the Foundation
points out, "drought and agricultural
reclamation of over 70,000,000
acres of wild luck areas have
relegated the United States to a
minor status as a duck producer.
Eighty-five per cent, of our waterfowl
now have been driven into
; Canada to breed?principally in j
, limited sections of Manitoba.
Saskatchewan and Alberta."
In Manitoba, according to a!
survey by the Manitoba Fish and
Game Association, of the 55
i most important wildfowl breedI
ing grounds, 21 areas produced
I more ducks than last year, 22
> i f?i? th0 samp duck I
I 11(1(1 0|/piUAlHi?vv.j
crops, while 12 had less ducks.
Northern Saskatchewan and Al1
berta produced good crops the
I past summer but droughts again
' took toll of waterfowl in south'
j em sections.
Despite the small increase this
year, the waterfowl situation is
still precarious, the Foundation
. believes. "Not until ruined portions
of the Canadian 'duck fac,
tory' are restored can we again
have really good duck shooting!
in the United States," the Foun-1
, dation declares.
