Pennsylvania Club Trains In Tarboro Tarboro, March 28.?Marty Mc Manus and Company, of the Wil liamsport Baseball club and offi cials arrived here ytesterday after sylvania mountain home, to start a month of spring practice here at Bryan Park, Tarboro. The bus spent Saturday night in Richmond, after a lot of trouble from "running hot" and the boys ar rived here at 3 p. m. pretty well fag gad out, Manager Marty McManus stated today that practice would be light for a few days until t(ie boys were loosened up, and that it would be ten days before the regulars began to "try". In the meantime the rook ies will get a thorough going over, and it will be rookies who will play an exhibition game at Plymouth on Saturday of this week with the semi-pro team there. Reporting yesterday from Tar boro's training camp in Florida, Manager Guy L Shat/er says he is well satisfied with the first few practice days and was surprised at the possibilities of his men. Al though not fully aware of what it will take to compete successfully in the Coastal circuit this season, Shat ty holds big aspirations for winning the bunting. In addition, Tarboro has ordered ten other men to report to Tarboro for spring practice. r Ladies Attention! Forget about cooking that Thursday night supper ?

Interesting Bits Of Agricultural News Low Although the United States is con fronted with a cotton surplus of more than 13,000,000 bales, it has less than 2,000,000 bales available for export during the six months ending August 1. Kotenone Rotenone-bearing roots, used for centuries in the tropics as a fish poison, are becoming increasingly important in this- country for the manufacture of insect poisons. Loss Wool producers of thus country suffered a loss of almost $46,000,000 in income in 1036, compared with 1937, despite increased production. Prices fell from 32 cents in 1937 to 19 1 cents in 1938. Wax Potatoes Two Cornell University scientists found that treating seed Irish pota toes with a 30 per cent 231-B wax emulsion while still in a dormant condition resulted in a stimulation of sprout growth, an earlier emer gence of plants* and a correspond ing increase in yield. Peanuts It now appears likely that North Carolina farmers will plant fewer acres of Spanish type peanuts this year and devote a large acreage to the Virginia type. Cotton A $75,000,00 export subsidy pro gram to move the government's huge surplus cotton stores has come under consideration of the Agricul tural Adjustment Administration I?ower The farmer is paying a lower av erage interest rate on his farm mort gage today than at any time on rec ord, according to the Farm Credit Administration. ? Smaller This year's American corn acre age will be the smallest in 40 years, and the area sown to wheat wnll be 18 per cent less than last year, pre dicts the Federal Crop Reporting Board Expecting Thirty Youngsters Here For Training Work ??? Seven Young Men To Reach Here Sunday At Their Own Expense Plans were announced virtually complete today for opening the Mai - tins' trial camp here next Monday, the club manager, Paul O'Malley, explaining that he wanted and was expecting at least thirty young men to participate in the four- or five day school. ? "We cannot?pay the boys* ex penses during the school, but any youngster showing promise can ex pect a contract with the Martins," the skipper said Seven young men from New York are planning to reach here next] Sunday to attend the school, O'Mal ley stating that he was very an xious for Martin County youths who are interested in and have ability to play the game to attend the trial camp. The school is open to all, but the skipper thinks it wise for a young man to be at least 17 or 18 years old before attending camp. "1 don't know today just how many boys will report for the school but we'll call in assistants to help carry on the work if necessary," O'Malley said, adding that every thing possible will be done to offer the youngsters some good training and to make their stay here pleas - ant. The first session of the school is scheduled to get underway next Monday morning at 11 o'clock, O'Malley adding that he and his as sistants would continue on the job just as many hours as are necessary to devote individual attention to each young man attending he school. Surplus Crops To$e Bought With Stamps Interest of the retail trade?par ticularly among food merchants ? is being aroused by the department of agriculture's current plan to bring surplus farm erotxs to needy citizens through regular channels of distribution. To be tried first in few medium-sized cities, the plan I will function about as follows: To' those on relief who so desire, orange colored government food stamps will be issued as substitute for part of direct cash disbursements now be ing made. These stamps can be used at any food store for the purchase of necessities at prevailing retail prices. ^ As a special inducements 50 cents worth of blue colored stamps will be issued for every dollar in orange stamps The blue .stamps mil lie used to buy surplus commodities desig nated by the department, possibly eggs, citrus fruits, prunes, rarsins and butter. Stores will be able to raMi jh*? stamps at th<' pf>stf?ffi<'<* at any bank If this method of dis tributing surpluses proves successful the eventual aim is to do away with the present system of buying up surpluses through the Federal Sur plus Commodities Corp, and having that government agency distribute direct to the needy.
