growth in demand for manufactured |
tobacco und of the pace set by North
Carolina in leading the nation in-to

amazing annual increase in demand,
he said, well informed men ill the to j

"I confess," Mr. Mcla-an continued,
"that 1 cannot see that the figure?
bear out this contention. It seems to

produced but an increase in the pro 1

ceded that there can be no restoration
of generally sound business condi
tions, until agriculture is placed on a
parity with other industries, thereby
restoring the purchasing power of
the farmer."
A. B. Carfrngton, president of the
Tobacco Association of the United'
1 States, is quoted as saying that j
America's tobacco trade is it very
good condition, with exports of to
j bacco increasing and domestic manu
facturing showing increases in many]
lines.
The increasing importance of bright!
tobacco as a type was dealt with" by
the speaker.^
"Bright tobacco," Mr. Carrington
said, "holds a strong position in>
foreign markets, especially the cigar-j
! ette types, and provided there is no
| increase in the crop, outlets for a good j
; sized crop will continue to be found,"
Mr. Carrington said that "one of the
' outstanding features of the tobacco
: trade in 1928 wax the continued and j
| persistent demand for cigarette to
! baccos, both at home and abroad. This
type has become so eminent in the in
; dustry that it represented over half ■
, the. crop and three-fourths of exports!
| in 1928."
j "Cigarette production in jtself," he |
continued," "has shown an unfrroken j
upward trend since 1921, and the*
output of registered factories in 192 M,!
us indicated by stamp sales amounted
|to nearly 106 billions. This produc-j
tion represents a domestic leaf cony)
sumption of about 41K,000,000|
pounds."
Exports of tobacco for the year!
1928, he said, represented a grand
i total of 584 million pounds, the great- i
lest amount exported in the history j
I of the industry, with the exception of i
! 1919 when a tremendous surplus, ,oc-|
j-casioned by the war, was* moved. In!
i that .year, he said, 777' million pounds
were sent abroad.

The Kdentonoand Wehlon hatcheries,
Mr. Moore stated, belong to the L'nit
ed State* and are sustained in, part
by the State. All the fish are placed
I in North Carolina streams,
j During this season, about 16,Of>0,1)00
young rock have been taken from the
Weldon hatchery. Three million of
l the small fish were placed in the
j waters of the T«r river at Rocky
j Mount, Tarboro and Greenville. Half
, a million were placed ill Contentina
■ creek and the balance released in the
Roanoke. According to the game war
den, it is estimated that not more
than 5 per cent of the young fjteh
live when they ar«* released in 'the
open rivers as they are only about the
size of a pin head and are very deli
cate, They have many enemies, chief
of them being the German carp.-It
was pointed out, however, that if the
fish are placed in ponds until they.are
tt-vfew incites long about 75 per cent
i of them may be raised.
Mr. Moore stated that no one knoWs
| what becomes of young rock and shad
when they leave the inland waters,
j It is known that they do not return
1 until three years old, returning then
: to raise their young.
The fish warden stated that many i
fish had died, in Hyde, i'amlico audi
Beafort streams a few-years ago from I
gas formed fronr decaying vegeta-'
tion in the low and hot waters of
I the small creeks, and shallow bays.
' The gas forming would rise in bub
| bles to the top of the water leaving
; an insufficient amount of oxygen for
| the fish to live on.
The carp was described as the
j greatest enemy that game fish have.
An outline of the fishing laws as
THE ENTERPRISE
apply to this section was riven and
the importance of protecting the Ash
was stressed. Mr. Moore told about
the handling and preparing the Ash
for market. The scales of the herring
are used to make pearls and Du^o.
The work of the conservation de
partment enipracing the enforcement
and operation of the game laws, is
carried on Mr. Moore said by the fees
received from the hunters and fisher-
The department has released about
3,000 pair of quail, 2,000 pheasants
and a number of turkeys in the State
during the past year or two, it was
stated by the warden. ■ V-j
Mr. Moore asked the club to spon
sor the formation of a game preserve
in this county, stating that the con
servation board is endeavoring to es
tablish such preserves in every county

j departed this life December 27th, 1928.
About six months ago you left
us, father,
For a bright and fairer home,
And our hearts are filled with sorrow
As we go our way alone.
What pain you bore, dear father,
We will never know,
Only God knows how we hated to see
you go;
But He knew best, and called you
home to rest.
Friends may think you are
And that wounded hearts are healed.
They do not know the sorrow
I' Our wounded hearts conceal.

Where loved ones hearts are united
