Weekly Review Of The Farm Markets In North Carolina Muriel for Farmer's Sloek IVaniit Somewhat More Xelive Raleigh?Feed markets advanced materially during the past week re flecting principally the limited sup plies available for immediate ship ment wrth an active demand from all classes of buyers, the U. S. and North Carolina Departments of Agri culture reported in the weekly mar ket news service review. Wheat feeds advanced $1 to $2 per ton Soybean meal was also up $1 to $2 while cottonseed meal declined from $1 to $2 per ton at producing centers. The index number of whole sale feedstuff prices advanced about 4 points to 105.0 compared with 100.9 for the previous week and 117.1 for the corresponding week last year. The market for farmer's stock Vir ginia type peanuts in Eastern North Carolina is somewhat more active, and although the price level has not shown much advance a number of millers are offering slightly higher prices than they did a week or two ago On a delivery point basis best jumbos will command 4 1-8 to 4 1-4 cents and occasionally 4 3-4 per pound and best bunch 3 3-4 to 3.05 cents. Spanish farmers' stock con tinues nominally at 85 cents per 30 pound bushel. Meanwhile the dam age to the growing crop from the heavy rainfall and floods does not now appear as serious as first thuuglit. From the standpoint of tonnage Tar Heel farm commodities holding the spotlight on the northern whole sale fruit and vegetable markets this week were okra and sweet potatoes. Market trends in New York were mixed with okra weaker at 75 cents to $1 per 1-2 bushel basket and Jer sey type and golden sweet potatoes down to $1 to $125 a bushel. The p.,!-),! Piomi?variety, however, strengthened slightly and closed at $1.50 to $1,75 a bushel. Quality egg production continued light but current collection supplies were plentiful in the Raleigh area during the past week Farm prices, however, continued steady with hennery whites eligible for 26 to 27 ' cents per dozen and current collec tions for 16 to 17 cents. Live poul try values also held steady at 13 to 14 cents per pound for colored hens and at 17 to 18 cents for heavy fry-1 ers. I At Chicago, strictly good and, (choice grain-fed steers and yearlings i again had dependable actiim on lo cal and outside account, advancing 25 to 40 cents during the week, which included holiday. The same was true of comparable grades of heifers, while short-fed steers and grassy she stock did not fare so well. Hogs I lost 15 to 25 cents and native spring lambs edged forward 15 to 25 cents Finished sUffS topped at a" new high on the crop. Hogs sold at $7,75 early, closed at $7.50 down, while all late lambs sales were downward from $9 50. In contrast Hog values ruled fully stead ythroughout the period on the Rocky Mount hog market. At the close, tops for good and choice 180 to 225 pound weights were un changed from a week ago at $7.10.

The ele mentary total was 595 as compared with 585 in 1939 111 litde "tots" were enrolled in the first grade by three teachers, while a real problem was created in the second grade by the enrollment of 98 children. A brief exercise marked the open ing at the high school where Rev. John Goff conducted a brief devo tional exercise and Principal D N. Hix commented on details of the school program and plans for the year. At the grammar school teach ers were busy classifying pupils and issuing textbooks. By Monday text book distribution will be completed I and the regular schedule of classes | will be underway 1 Home Gutter* Preparing For The Cold Weather | ? Tu save fuel costs, a number of lo cal liunu owners are having their buildings insulated with Gimco Rock Wool An application of this wool, which is blown into the walls of the construction or home by spec ial machinery, will also make the building cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Mr. Jesse Hardy, manager of the Coastal Insulation and Distribution Company, of Kinston, has been here for the past two days insulating the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Ring A number of homes here have already been insulated and the owners state that the wool is an important factor in keeping their homes warm in the cold months and cool in the extreme hot weather. Mr. Hardy is making surveys of several homes here and giving the owners an estimated cost of applying the wool without obligation to the owner. The U. S. Surplus Marketing Ad- . ministration has been authorized to purchase up to 5,000 tons of dried [xacties for distribution to needy families of the country. higher at $7.35 top and the Florence, S.
