Sales Supervisor Expresses
Belief That The Market
This Year Is In For
One Of Its Most Successful
Seasons
August the 12th marks the
opening of the famous Fail
Bluff tobacco market, the oldest
market in the border belt. Preparations
for the largest opening
in the towns' history have
been completed and the buzz of
constant activity heralds the approach
of the great event.
Merchants are stocking their
windows to accomodate the hundreds
of tobacco farmers and
visitors who will swamp the
thriving city. Warehousemen arc
scurrying here and there, making
last minute arrangements for
the grand opening. An entire
host of busy workmen and .warehouse
personnel are placing everything
in order to receive the
golden weed. Foreign licenses
mark the arrival of expert tobacco
buyers and the many visitors
who are roving the streets
of the "oldest tobacco town" in
Columbus County to see the
wonders of the harvesting and
marketing of tobacco.
Giant Opening.
The sales supervisor of the
Fair Bluff market, C. B. Townsend,
announced his expectancy
of the greatest opening the inhabitants
of Fair Bluff have ever
witnessed. One of the largest
advertising campaigns ever
launched in Columbus county
swept the countryside, this
pastseason. This campaign, under
the careful quidance of Mr.
Townsend. was produced by the
gigantic efforts put forth by the
cooperative spirit that exists between
the warehousemen and
businessmen of Fair Bluff.
Mr. Townsend expressed his
belief that such a wave of publicity
for Fair Bluff would boost
the market considerably and
that the tobacconists of the city
could expect the most successful
season yet experienced.
Better Than Ever.

A host of advantages offered
J this year affirms the boast that
s the Fair Bluff market will be
better than ever. The best of
Warehouses manned by the best
of experts guarantees a better

Bluff market.
( This year, four mammoth
warehouses swing wide their
doors and stand ready to serve
the farmers from far and near.
These warehousese afford the
most modern housing arrangei
ments to comfortably accomo

. tobacco. These warehouses are
also operated by the most experienced
veterans in the ytobac
co business.
! Commencing the '41 marketing
year, Grainger Warehouse and
Dixie Darehouse combine forces
under the steady leadership of
one of the South's greatest tobacconists,
R. C. Grainger. Another
combination on the Fair
; Bluff market brings together
the old and the new. Powell
Warehouse, the oldest warehouse
in the border belt, joins hands

FARMERS FACE PROBLEMS
IN COMBINING SMALL GRAIN
I Harvesting small grain with
combines has become a definite
practice in rural North Carolina.
Hundreds of baby combines have
been bought by farmers within
the past few years.
D. S. Weaver, head of the State
College Department of Agricultural
Engineering, says three major
problems have been encountered
by users of the improved I
machines for harvesting grain. |
iThey find it hard to properly j
harvest grain with a high mois-1
ture content; they have discover-1
ed that the machines have to be
operated at the proper speed;
and they have learned that the
machinery must be adjusted in
accordance with the type of grain
being harvested.
First, he says, grain which has
a moisture content of more than
14 per cent cannot be safely combined.
As a general rule, the
i combine should be put in the

Myers Warehouse
George A. Myers, Sr., And I
George A. Myers, Jr.,
Are Again Operating
Their Tobacco Warehouse
At Chadbourn
Myers Warehouse, operated by
George A. Myers and Son, in h
Chadbourn offers one of the best a
known father and son business a
arrangements in the entire tobacco
business. "j
George A. Myers, Sr., is one of
the outstanding tobacconists of !
the 'Border Belt. He has been in i
the tobacco warehouse business je
continuously at Danville for half
a century, and he has already! ?
completed a quarter century of [ ^
service at Myers Warehouse in ?
Chadbourn. Not only have his efforts
been successful in a mater- ^
ial way, his efforts in the inter-1
est of the farmers have made him |
one of the most highly respected j
and honored men in the business. I 8
It is a rare privilege for a
young man to be able to be as- 8
sociated with his father in a
successful business, but this priv- | c
ilege belongs to young George r
A. Myers, who has worked with ?
his father both at Danville and
at Chadbourn for several years.
A good tobacconist in his own!
right, he is a great help to his i8
father, and a combination of their e
efforts just about insures a satis- 8
factory sale for any farmer who
leaves his tobacco in their hands. 8

grain about ten days after the 1 s
grain would normally be cut with I f

- -l*~- I i
"Probably the greatest losses," j.
Weaver said, are caused by hav-! ](
ing too little clearance between
the concaves and the cylinder of ^
the combine. This has a tendency ^
to grind the straw so fine that it ^
is impossible to separate the
grain from this finely chopped /
straw. It is much better to have J
an occasional grain of wheat left
in the heads than it is to set up *
such conditions that further sep- ^
apation of the grain and the
finely chopped straw are impos- v
sible. *
Finally, -the State College man t
declared, the combine should be v
operated at the speed rccommen- .
(led by the manufacturer. Slight
variations from the adjusted rate
may be justified by differences in
Vie condition of the crop and by I
the height of cutting.

teen in the tobacco warehouse
msiness for 20 years. For three
ears he was on the Lumberton

ection. In his home town of
I'uquay Springs he not only is
, leader in the tobacco business
mt plays a leading role in the
ivic and political life of his comnunity
and is a former member
