Automolr'le production declined substantially. although retail sales rej :*s remained fa. irahle. Cram's it-ports, nevertheless, saw in the second sucessive wcek : y contraction in output "increasing evidence that the industry's peak operating levels for the year haw passed." Freight carloadings d*. - clined a Ihtle. in a week in which is a smaii gain in tiie seasonal average, and electric power out put was off about 2 per cent, or a trifle more than seasonally, but the report reflected the fir.-t WCCK of daylight saving.

Electrical equipment manufac turers are currently operating at levels sharply above a year ago, with the electrical refrigerator business continuing to break re cords. Good operating reports also came from various of the glass, fertilizer, chemical, tobacco products lines. Private building products, paper, paints and l'oo 1 contracts let in April were the best since August. Retail trade reports indicated the greatest activity in apparel and house-furnishings, but intev er! spread to many oilier divi sions.

It is concerned, however, with the interests of the farmer, par ticularly the tobacco farmer and therefore feels that the Fiftl Congressional District of North Carolina needs a change in rep resentation at Washington. His past conduct is tho on'v basis on which to attempt to de termine what will be Congress man Frank Hancock's future at titude towards the farmer. In the light of his four-year recoi l, we feel justified in asserting that Hancock has fallen far short > f proving himself the farmers' friend. Numerous opportunities to forget self and help "the folks back home" have been past ed up. Hancock vigorously objected to the Administration's effort to re imburse the farmer for tobacco tobacco acreage taken out of pro duction. He termed the benefit payment "a sop to the farmer." It' that was a "SOP." what does the farmer call the SI t»'?0 per year salary increase Hareoek vo' ed himself.

Mchane knows farming, si: • appreciates the fatr.ters' p obloms and she is sympathetic with I'--' needs of the soil tillers. Her re cord in the past two sessions of the North Carolina Legislature proves she is the farmers' friend. She thinks and votes as a farmer. She can be depended upon. She does not consider that her obli gation to her constituents has been discharged in her campaign speeches and does not look upon her entrance into legislative halls as a symbol of casting aside the interests of those she is pledged to represent. For these reasons, The South ern Tobacco Journal endorses the candidacy of Lily M. Mebane ::r ' Congresswoman from the Fifth District of North Carolina.

To offset this damage Poo.'c recommends that all soils be carefully examined and the neces sary plant food supplied. Only certified seed or plants known to be be free from parasites that cause disease, should be used. For next year's planting, select f. ?ed from strong, healthy plants. Varieties known to be resistant to certain diseases should also be selected for planting on infected soils, he says.
