Crop Conditions In East Carolina Greenville. April 4 ? Tobacco plants are green and healthy and r tardy art* good, but they are very . small for this time of the season Thsi condition applies to practically all East Carolina tobacco growing counties. On March 24 snow blanket ed this section of the State ranging in depth from 7 inches in the upper counties lo 1 inch or less in Duplin and Onslow, with Cartaret alone " haying no snow-Twf? days of?cold ? freezing weather followed, but ex cept to further retard the growth of plants, no great damage was re ported In some instance's the cloth on plant beds sagged because of the weight nf the snow and froze to the ground killing plants jn that particu lar spot and some plants around the edge of the bed were killed v. her* th* cloth was pulled from ovei them allowing the ground to freeze and pull them up Damage from insects has been neg- . ligible and blue- mold has not appear ed, but there is general complaint, over the size of the plants which have not grown appreciably during^ the past 2 week* However, irtorr fav orable weather has been experienced since March 27 and plants are be ginning to grow Growers are now picking weeds lrom the beds this will break the erttft ot the ground and loosen the soil and the with bet ter weather, will result in a rapid growth of plants from this time on In some sections growers are be- t hind?time?preptiring?land.?btrt?the | smaliness of the plants will allow plenty of time to catch up with this work before transplanting time which, from the present outlook, will be at least two w eeks late Exceptions to this report come from Chorowinity township In Beau fort and Williams Township ni Mar tin w 1 n-'ff* Mime ivport plants-to be ' yellowing and dying from the Vance boro section of Craven and Wolf trap township of Duplin, where some report plans turning vellow and frnm j Halifax township in Halifax County j whi re some report plants in poor condition.

Eight Persons Over KM) Years Old Die During February l<urj?r?t Number of Sueh Cer tificate* Received In Lon^ Number of Yearn ? Raleigh ? Death certificates for eight persons 100 years old and over were received among the February reports made to the State Board of Health's Division of Vital Statistics, of which Dr R T Stimpson is the director. ?:?r? This was the largest number of such certificates received during any single month within the memory of veteran employees in the division, they declared. Of the eight centenarians whose deaths were reported, six were col ..red and two white. The oldest was Mary Parks, colored, of Wilkes County, listed as having been 112, whose death was recently reported in the press. She froze to death, her certificate said. The others, together with race, age, location and cause of death^werfe: iua. Salisbury; lobar pneumonia, frac tured hip Chaney Spell, colored, 106. Black Creek: old age. h"nrf tmnhl?? Flora Blanchard. colored. 103; Hertford; definite cause unknown? fmiuuuiy I'liruiiR' giomciuim1 m-hp rhitis ending in uremia. Squire James Owell, white. 102; | Mount Airy, influenza. Edmund.Short, colored, 102, Wilm ington; old age, heart trouble. William McCrary, white. 101. Bre vard; old age. Henry Wilson- Cabarrus, colored, 100, Washington County; old age. The informant in each case was I the attending physician, except in | the case of the last named, Cabarrus, who had no doctor. It will be many years, however, until there w411 be indisputable proof of the age of a centenarian, as North \ Carolina began registering births in October, 1913. However, death cer tificates of persons born prior to that time arc based on the best available information, this in|formatio*i in numerous cases coming from the record in the family Bible, which is taken as authentic. "Prompt registration of births is becoming increasingly important," it was pointed out by Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, state health officer. "While the law requires registration, the individual is the real beneficiary," he went on, "as proof of the date of one's birth is necessary for entrance to school, for a child's first permit to work, for a driver's license, the right to vote, in insurance, the right to marry, the right to enter the civil service, the right to enter the mili I tary service, for settlement of pen sions, for social security benefits to Mho blind, ictiicmcni for the aged and benefits for dependent children, j There are numerous other reasons. "The birth certificate is the one indisputable proof. Hence, every child is entitled to one. Don't put your child on the spot by neglect." The vital statistics division has adopted a method whereby persons born prior to 1913 may have their birth legally recorded, Dr. Reynolds pointed out. Details of this method may be received by addressing the Division of Vital Statistics, care of the State Board of Health, at Ral eigh. Already, many have taken ad vantage of this, it was pointed out. Steel Makes News In Business World Steel, which is always news in business, last week made several dif ferent kinds ?( news One of the big gest surprises in months was U. S. Steel's declaration of )1 dividend on common stock, since general steel production has declined to around 61 per cent of capacity, compared to better than 90 last fall.
