rr Than Tomorrow Ni^lit
For the third time, Rocky Mount
may break into the Coastal Plain I
Baseball League line-up, according
to unofficial reports received here
last evening. Official comment.was
withheld .but it is understood that
Snow Hill is ready to sell its fran
chise for about $2,000 and that Rocky
Mount is seriously considering the
proposit ion. Rocky Mount is to
give its answer not later than to
morrow night, one report coming
from a reliable source stating that
Snow Hill would definitely continue
in the circuit if a sale was not ef
fected.
The Coastal loop is having a dif
j ficult task in perfecting its line-up
for the coming season. Nearly every
club in the league found organiza
tion difficult, and while the line-up
is complete it is possible that club
changes will follow. Snow Hill, be
fore it organized for the Coming sea
'son. was about to surrender its fran
chise to Rocky Mount Organization
efforts proved successful and Rocky
Mount withdrew. New Bern, now
organized, was about to withdraw
and offer its franchise to Rocky
Mount. And now Snow Hill is ready
to sell again, this time with a degree
of certainty.
Rocky Mount is calling on its fans
for $3,000 by tomorrow night If
they come across it is thought that
the franchise transfer will be effect
ed
It isn't likely that the proposed
franchise transfer will alter the
schedule adopted by the league at a
meeting held in Greenville last
Thursday night
Explaining that he had not been
officially notified of any franchise
transfer, League President Good- j
mon stated this morning that he did
not know when a league meeting :
would be called to pass on the sale
if such a sale is effected.
Defense Continues
At A Rapid Pace
Americans, with their fondness'
for alliterative phrases, now find i
that the defense situation and all it
embraces in affecting business and
industry, can be encompassed by
three main^-ca tegor ies?Production.
Priorities and Prices. No important
change in the pell-mell pace of gen
eral activity. A report on one of the
prime keys in the production picture
is encouraging It shows Uncle Sam'?
machine tool industry well on the j
way to the "impossible" levels OPM
Chief Bill Knudsen asked for. The
industry set an all-time high in 1939
at $200,000,000 worth of machine
tools. In 1940 they more than dou
bled their output, to $450,000,000.
Now in the first two and a half
months of 1941, they have hit a pace
8 per cent faster than a year ago,
making the estimate for whole year
of 1941 around $750,000,000 "worth.
Unified Soil Testing
Program Arranged
Arrangements have been com
pleted whereby the soil testing pro
gram of the Department of Agron
omy of N. C State College and the
Soil Testing Laboratory of the State
Department of Agriculture have been
unified, it is announced by Dr. L
D. Baver, new agronomy leader at
the college. "It is felt," he said, "that
coordination of the activities of the
two agencies will remove much of
the present^confusion in soil test
ings."
The Department of Agronomy of
the Experiment Station will be re
sponsible Air the 'research necessary
to improve the technique and meth
ods of soil testing, and will provide
the basic information and sugges
tions to be used in making fertiliz
er recommendations
The State Laboratory will make
the various soil tests, and will send
the individual recommendations
back to the farmer. Information
blanks and boxes for forwarding
the soil samples to the Laboratory
will be sent free, upon request to
the Soil Testing Service of the State
Department of Agriculture, Raleigh.
Dr. Baver said that farmers may
1 obtain the boxes and information
blanks from county farm agents of
; the extension service, from voca
tional agriculture teachers, and from
progressive fertilizer dealers. They
will be fully informed in the pro
. ? (!ur? necessary for accurate taking
Variety
Aii agreement has been reached
with the livestock industry for
Army purchases of a wider variety
of meat products, assuring more and
fancier meats for American soldiers
Wheat
Wheat stocks in the United States
on January 1 were estimated at 725,

of soil samples, and the submission
of pertinent information required in
