Mr. Moore has been a familiar face on the Whiteville market for 13 years and has steadily developed an excellent reputation for honest and square dealing in the tobacco business. He operates the Planters warehouse in Henderson and at one time, with W. B. Daniel, was the proprietor of the Star Warehouse (now Brooks) here. Mr. Moore, backed by 25 years of good experience, is a close friend to thousands of Columbus farmers. He knows good tobacco and is well familiar with its sales. Mr. Jackson first came to Columbus County 18 years ago when he operated a warehouse in Chadbourn. Seven years later he moved over on the Whiteville market where he has totaled up a record of over 25 years of experience in the tobacco business. He is associated with the Acrees warehouse in Danville and, all in all, has been a very successful warehouseman.

C. A Demand Exceeding The Suppply Of Sheep Is Given As Reason For Keen Interest In Sheep A demand, far exceeding the supply, for commercial ewes and i registered rams is indicative of I a very definite increase in the interest in sheep throughout North Carolina, reports L. I. Case, Extension animal husbandman of N. C. State College. Response to the interest, in the form of importations of Western ewes and rams, has been suggested to county farm agents by the Extension specialist. Case said that Kentucky, one 1 of the major lamb-producing States, is now buying about 80 percent of her ewe stock. Tennessee and Virginia are also increasing purchases of breeding sheep. I County agents are compiling lists of fanners who are interested in buying Western ewes, and registered rams from either Western North Carolina or neighborling States. "We think we can jbuy Western ewes for around throughout the duration of the current season. That auctioneer, Sid Cutts, boasts an outstanding record of nearly 25 years in the chanting line. Having started out back in 1917, Sid Cutts has blazed a prominent trail from Virginia to the Carolinas. Sid comes from Oxford and is sure to make a big hit with the farmers of Columbus County and sur rounding communities. Clyde Jeffcoat, a veteran of many years, will be back to take his job as floor manager at Farmers this year. Mr. Jeffcoats has held down this important post for several years and is well prepared to treat the farmer right. In the office George T. Pegram and J. M. Fleming, of Henderson, will be on hand to serve in the bookkeeping department. They were here last year and well known to be capable men of wide experience. W. Wood, of Clarksville, Va., will replace Frank Jackson as bookkeeper while C. W. White will be back at his old job as clipman. As Farmers emerges into their sixth year, many farmers throughout this section are expected to be in on the higher prices that the Whiteville operators hope to pass out in the selling of the 1941 crop of golden weed.

Bulletin Tells Of Mold Control Report Compiled By Vari-I ous Groups Should Prove | Beneficial To The Farm( ers Of North Carolina I Blue mold is one of the most serious problems of tobacco (i growers of this and other states. ; To provide a better understand-' ing of blue mold, also called ji I "downy mildew," and to describe ! i t effective methods to combat it, ; a report has been compiled cooperatively by representatives of i jDuke University, the agricultural]! ] experiment stations and extension ! services of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, and the; N. C. Department of Agriculture., This report is contained in Extension circular No. 229, entitled , "Blue Mold of Tobacco and Its j | Control," which is available for j j free distribution upon request to I ; the Agricultural Editor of State J I College, Raleigh. I The circular lists the symptoms I of the disease, both in seed beds jand in the field ; tells the causes I of the disease and the factors af-1, fecting its development ,and de-! i scribe? control treatments. Three methods of treatment j are listed: (1) by benzol (benzene) fumigation, (2) by paradi(chlorobenzol (P.D.B.) fumigation, , land (3) by sprays. In explanation: : of the difficulties encountered in1 controlling blue mold, the report 1 says: "Treatments used for di-' seases of other crops were not ] $10.50 for pearlings and $6.501 'for lambs, delivered." Case said. I The ewe's are mainly coming into the Southeast from the Northwest, and are HampshireRambouillett cross-breds. They will weigh about 75 pounds at , the unloading point. They are , plain in appearance but will develop nicely under good care and | will shear about 8 pounds of high quality wool. They are practically ; parasite free. When they are bred ! as yearlings thqy will usually bring from 90 to 100 percent I lamb crops. After the first year' I the ewes bought by Kentucky; |sheep men have averaged about! 1130 percent lamb crops. , Case also reported to county: I agents the sources of registered! | rams available at this time. He I suggested that farmers interes-1 ted in increasing or entering the j sheep-raising business should eon- I tact their farm agent immedij- 1 tely. Several Eastern North Carolina bankers have shown interest in financing the importations : of Western ewes. ! amjgjsjHjarajajHJHfErejHjajsjaHflg ON touse J ?? 1 r, AUG. 12 I r, AUG. 14 I (, AUG. 18 I , AUG. 20 ?

The first outbreak of blue mold i on cultivated tobacco in the Uni- i ted States occurred in 1921, when i it was noted in Florida and Georgia. For some unknown reason it did not again attract attention until 10 years later when it reappeared in Florida and Georgia and spread rapidly into all tobacco producing states east of the Mississippi River except Wis- j consin. Gives Hints On Turkey Raising Parrish Says That Most Turkey Growers In North Carolina Using Brooders This Year C. F. Parrish, Extension poultryman at N. C. State College, says it's time to talk turkey and offers the following suggestions to turkey growers as a means to more satisfactory results: Most turkey growers in this j state, Parrish says following an i inspection trip around the state,' apparently are determined not to' let this year's crop of turkeys "freeze" and are using brooders at temperatures of 110 degrees. "Don't let the poults jam up too nlnen In t h,, hrnnriers and no the I.. .. ... ? , other hand, don't 'cook' them," 1 the poultryman says, urging that; the house should be opened often enough to provide plenty "bf fresh air. Young turkeys are great foragers, so plenty of forage should be supplied them on a good range. If dry weather has ruined the range or pasture, soybeans should be planted at once. Four inches of mash hopper space should be supplied for each poult until the tenth week; then, the space should be increased to one foot for every two turkeys as the birds near maturity. The turkeys like to "wash their hands" before and after eating, Parrish says, and in providing a suitable "wash room" for them, a piece of wire (hay baling size) | should be strung above feed hop-! pers so that the birds may clean i their beaks. This facility lessens j feather picking, the specialist1 added.

Mul- j lins warehousemen are busily en-1 gaged in completion of their organizations in anticipation of the opening on that day. Preparations are being made for the sale of millions of pounds of the gulden weed to be handled on the warehouse floors in Mullins during the 1941 season. An unusually large number of buyers representing more than a dozen different tobacco companies are arriving in Mullins now with their factory personnel and will be ready on August 12 to make their bids to the sing-song chant of the auctioneers. Mullins is the largest tobacco market in the South Carolina belt and has had this distinction for a number of years, which is due in a large part to the utmost confidence tobacco growers, who sell in Mullins, have in the Mullins warehouse. Growers know the ability of these men who have grown up in the tobacco industry and know that they will exeC^ every effort to get top prices for^ every pound of tobacco placed on , the warehouse floors. Mullins warehousemen have spent their entire lives in building the Mullins market and live | in the city the year 'round. They 1 devote their full time to the ad- j vancement and strengthening of the mart, which naturally works to the advantage of the farmer selling his tobacco in Mullins. Growers know also that the tobacco companies and warehouse men have spent a great deal of money on the Mullins market in order to give farmers the best facilities for marketing their tobacco. There are 12 mammoth warehouses in Mullins, modern in every respect, and growers can always find space to put out their tobacco. Positively no floor space reserved on the Mullins Tobacco Market?first come first served.
