PAGE fi |jr ? He Knew About This Barn Burning In the wind up of the tobacco curing season many B.unswick farmers are still losing their barns by fire. Interviewed Monday, County Commissioner A. P.

Of course, the two trials will cost the State much more than Meadows is charged with embezzling (about 81S.000), but you can't say your old N. C. isn't persistent. Incidentally, reports are that most people are "tired of hearing about the old mess." However, if you want to get some real lowdown on the business, talk to an E. C. T. C. graduate. ' SHEEP If you own and sell ' sheep or know anybody who does, read this little announcement: Beginning August 5, the Commodity Credit Corporation will subsidize lamb prices, in other words pull up the price, an average of $2 per hundred pounds. Those sheep growers who sold their lambs three weeks ago for S15.8S (which is a good price) per hundred would have been paid $17.88 under the new plan. The subsidy wil he $2.15 per hundred for lambs weighing more than 90 pounds. 5 COLTRANE By the time this ! leaches ycu, the D. S. Coltrane situation may have been cleared. , However, at this time the Assist| ant Commissioner of Agriculture : has not decided whether to go j with the fertilizer firm at $8,300 or siay wan me siaie ac ?t>.uuu. All of which just illustrates how much we North Carolinians love cur native land. WARREN?Talk is developing that Lindsay Warren, U. S. Comptroller, may come home to run Tor the Senate in 1948. Chances arc good he won't do it. He's making around 512,000 per year now, his job has about 10 more years to run, and the race with J. M. Liroughton, J. W. I Dai ley, and W. B.

Lynn Nisbet is the feller. As editor for the N. C. Association of afternoon dailies, his writings have a total circulation of j 15,000. Compare this with Carl 1 Gcerch and his State Magazine I (circulation about 15 000), the Charlotte Observer (100,000) the the Raleigh News and Observer (88,000), the Agricultural Review (70,0001, and you can understand how one man con sway and mould public opinion. What makes Nisbet's comments so popular? Well, , he never tries to mould public opinion, he never sets himself up as the Great Writer, he never crusades, and he is seldom a1 major or a minor prophet. ! COAL?Aie you a flue-cured tobacco producer. Well, put this down as a major prophecy. By 1955, you will be curing your to- ; b-acco entirely by coal. Our woods are virtually gone. Oil is eXpen-l ; sive. Recent tests conducted at the Oxford Tobacco Experiment Station show that coial is two j thirds cheaper than oil, und is : considerably less expensive thanj ' wood if you have to buy it. Coal 11 companies arc now making plans | ' for rural deliveries and stokers s will be released for farmers byj2 the thousands by 1950. A stoker' costs about the same as an oil | burner and it will last a lifetime. You can go to bed and leave it. ' The control of Granvill Wilt is regarded as the outstanding research achievement ever accomplished in this State. E. G. Moss, director of the tobacco farm, says the facts discovered about ; coal is curing tobacco will rank next in importance to Oxford 26, the tobacco which resists Gran- ^ ville Wilt and cures better than " most other strains of leaf. j BEAR?W. B. Austin of Jeffer| son, member of the State Board of Agriculture, took a drive up to g Clingman's Dome last week. He | saw signs which warned visitors (not to feed the bears. Well, he I wanted to see one, promising ! himself and friends there would j > be no fraternization. And so the energetic Mr. Austin left the party at the parking grounds and went by foot path to the top of H the peak. Oil the way up, he saw an overturned can and pro! needed to kick it out of the way. | Up to his right the bushes bc| gap rattling and the noise grew / | louder, moving in his direction. | Being a big man on a steep and . | rocky trail, he knew there was I little chance to make a getaway. | He stood there and sweated in < the 60-dcgrce temperature. , Austin got his thrill?but the ' "bear" was a big police dog which some climbers up ahead C had brought with them.

Behind * Your Bonds Lies the Might of America I iil llli lfcj LEAD AND SILVER Discovery of gold attracted the Nation's attention to Idaho in 1360 but the surrounding "worthless rock" that gold hunters spurned 25 years later became the foundation of an enterprise that brought the state into first place in the production of 1 lead and silver. Elimination of waste, big-scale operations and new scientific processes of milling, smelting and refining have enabled the industry to provide livelihood for 50,000 people. It has added to the Nation's wealth that will be enjoyed by holders of War Bonds. U. S. Treasury Derailment 1 Five hundred cubic feet of inpired air enters the nose every 4 hours.
