WARNING; DON'T HARVEST TOO SOON
County’s Tobacco Crop Looking Good;
75% Of Growers Planted New Variety
Barning of tobacco is well un
der way in Moore County, with
prospects that there will be plen
ty of good leaf to sell by Septem
ber 3, tentative opening date of
the Aberdeen and Carthage mar
kets, according to F. D. Allen,
county extension chairman.
•■‘The crop as a whole looks
very good, though in some areas
it isn’t as good as we would like
to see it,” ha said. ‘‘However,
most of the county has had good
rain and the tobacco is well-
grown and healthy and looks as
though it is going to be the kind
the buyers like.”
About 75 per cent of the Moore
crop is in Coker 319, a new varie
ty this year. Concerning the will
ingness of growers to plunge
heavily into something new, Al
len commented, “That is typical
in Moore. Our farmers are ex
tremely broad-minded and pro
gressive. They do not cling to the
old when the new promises some
thing better.
“It looks like Coker 319 has
everything, including all the at
tractiveness of Coker 316 but
with the flavor and aroma which
it lacked.”
He emphasized that there is one
danger with the new variety, that
it might be harvested too soon—
“It looks like it’s ready and starts
to turn yellow, but it isn’t ready
then. You have to wait until the
leaves all fill out, otherwise it
cures out slick and unattractive.
If there’s any doubt in your mind,
wait. You can tell when it’s really
ripe,” he counseled.
Moore county’s 1962 crop ave
raged 1,870 pounds p-er acre, for
a total of 9,155,581 pounds grown
on 5,200 acres. This acreage com
prised some 1,800 allotments be
longing to about 1,600 growers.
The number of growers has con
siderably decreased as many al
lotments have been pooled or
transferred by the original own
ers.
Last year’s crop sold for a total
of $5,684,900, at an average of 61
cents per pound.
Rescue Units Find
Old Man Missing
9 Hours Saturday
An elderly Negro, infirm, near
ly blind and mentally childlike,
wandered away from his home at
783 West Iowa Ave. late Saturday
afternoon and was found by Res
cue Squad workers some nine
hours later. A severe electrical
storm took place during the
search.
Luico Hallman, 78, was found
at 2:05 a.m. Sunday in woods be
tween his home and the Moore
County Armory, “wet, weak and
dazed,” according to Deputy
Sheriff J. A. Lawrence, but other
wise in good condition. He was
turned over to his family, who
cared for him on determining that
he did not need hospital atten
tion.
Hallman is blind in one eye,
and vision in the other is weak.
He has wandered away before,
but was soon found. He is the
husband of Mrs. Mary Hallman
who has been widely known for
many years as a leading resident
of the West Southern Pines com
munity and a capable domestic
worker.
Lawrence gave all credit to
members of three units of the
Moore County Rescue Squad, who
responded to a call for aid late
Saturday night and, he said,
“quickly organized themeselves
for efficient searching.” They
worked without let-up during the
storm which raged shortly past
midnight. When members of
Unit No. 4 found Hallman they
were backtracking an area they
had previously searched, but
where they had missed him be-

Schools’ Capital
Outlay Allotted
In County Budget
Formally adopting the $1,471,240
county budget for 1963-64 without
change, at a special meeting Wed
nesday afternoon of last week,
the county commissioners also
divided the capital outlay appro
priation of $460,115 for all schools
among the county’s three admini
strative units on a per capita
basis.
All three of the school systems
—Moore County, Southern Pines
and Pinehurst—had requested
considerably more. Their capital
outlay budgets, termed “minimum
requests” when presented last
May, had totalled $878,580. Capit
al outlay funds are used for
building construction and major
remodeling purposes.
The per capita worked out to
$47.95 for each Of 9,596 school-
children in the entire county.
This is the second year the coun
ty has allotted its capital outlay
funds on a per capita basis.
The Moore County system had
asked for $507,580, of which
$457,480 was earmarked for the
completion of Union Pines, the
system’s first consolidated high
school. Numbering 7,023 pupils, it
will get $336,742, of which some
$300,000 will go to Union Pines,
Supt. Robert E. Lee said this
week. Other needs will have to
be fitted into the remainder.
The Southern Pines administra
tive unit, which had sought $302,-
000, of which $207,000 would be
used for completion of the West

Union Pines Bids
To Be Discussed
At Monday Meeting
The Moore County Board of
Education, meeting Tuesday night
with T. T. Haye^ and Calvin
Howell, architects, postponed till
Monday action on bids received
the previous week for completion
of the Union Pines consolidated
high school, between Carthage
and Vass.
On Monday, the board will
meet jointly with the county com
missioners and the board of pub
lic health at the commissioners’
regular meeting, to elect a new
member to the county ABC board
to fill the unexpired term of Jer
ry V. Healy, who died recently.
At this time, said Supt. Robert
E. Lee, board members plan to
discuss the bids with the com
missioners and answer any ques
tions they may wish to ask. Then,
with the architects, they will go
to the school site to make an in
spection of the portion already
built and decide which bids to
accept in view of the funds avail
able.
At last week’s meeting, 19 bids
were received in seven categories.
The number was fewer, and some
bids were higher, than had been
anticipated. Categories covered
were: structural and foundation,
exterior walls, completion of caf
eteria, gymnasium, music and
dressing rooms, shop and audi
torium. These would cost some
thing over $400,000 to complete.
With about $300,000 available,
the board still hopes to let enough
contracts to be able to put the
school plant in use in September,
1964.

crease since the 1948-49 school
year. The increase includes both
East and West Southern Pines
schools.
Three factors are responsible
for the increase, Mr. Jenkins said.
First, funds were provided by
the 1963 General Assembly which
permit the allocation of on§. ad
ditional teacher for every 15
teachers, instead of one for 20
as in the previous biennium.
Second, funds were provided to
revise the base teacher allotment
formula to take into account in
coming first graders and outgoing
seniors, changes in population,
and the “dropout factor.” South
ern Pines had only four percent
of students dropping out last
year.
Third, a definite increase in
the local schools’ average daily
attendance—the true base for a
year-by-year allotment.
The Southern Pines Board of
Education, at its July meeting,
decided to employ the extra teach
ers to take care of increased en
rollment, to add extra courses, to
provide a guidance counselor, and
to reduce class size to make possi
ble more individualized instruc
tion.
Farmers Day Will
Draw Thousands to
Robbins Saturday
Robbins is anticipating the
biggest Farmers Day Saturday in
the eight-year history of this
unique event, which each year
draws increasing attendance from
a widening ^area.
Curtis Hussey, wagon master,
initiator and promoter, estimates
there will be 250 entries in the
Grand Parade this year—“all of
last year’s and then some.”
They will form a parade of old
wagons, carriages and buggies
brightly refurbished for Farmers
Day, horses, riders and livestock.
The parade will start at 10 a.m.
Way land Kennedy, general
chairman of the community’s
Farmers Day cooperation, said
this year those entering the
parade are invited to come the
day before and spend the night,
camping out in the old-time way
on the wooded town park. Lights,
and Water are close at hand, ice
water will be provided in tanks,
and the area is accessible to the
downtown district where all fami
ly needs may be filled.
With an estimated 10,000 at
tending last year and many more
expected this year, parking is a
major concern of the committee.
The task has been handed over
to the Moore County Rescue
Squad, along with their prime
duty of first aid.
The Rescue Squad and also the
Jaycees are giving away ponies
in drawings—the Jaycees with a
pony cart, and the Rescue Squad
with a saddle.
Trophies will be awarded in
nine categories: best team of
horses, best team of mules, best
riding horse, best working horse,
best individual mule, best colt,
best pony, best rig and oddest
rig. At least 20 mare and colt
entries are expected.
Many of the visitors will as
usual enter into the spirit of the
day by appearing in old-time
garb, including authentic cos
tumes of another day.
