Junior Martins Win Over Powellsville The Williamston Junior Martins won another game by a 5 to 1 score over a strong Powellsville team, which has been undefeated for two seasons. Garland Wynne, hurling for the Martins, held the visitors to eight well scattered hits, while the Mar tins gathered nine long safeties off Ted Miller, former Williamston Mar tin hurler. The leading hitters for Williams ton were Fenner Wallace, with a triple and a double, and Sonny Boy Wynne, with two for two. The batteries: Junior Martin: G. Wynne and H. Wynne; Powellsville: Miller and Johnson. The Junior Martins and Boar Grass All-Stars will meet on the lo cal diamond Sunday afternoon. The exhibition is slated to get underway promptly at 3:30 o'clock, and a large crowd is expected to turn out for the affray. Navy Sub-Chasers In Mass Production Far from the ocean-prowling U boats whose extinction soon will be their assignment. Navy sub-chasers are to be turned out, ultimately at the rate of one a week, by the Pull man-Standard Cur Manufacturing Company's new shipyard now rising on the shore of Lake Michigan near Chicago. These will be the first all steel anti-sub patrol craft built in the mid-west. Other Great Lakes yards are turning out the regular wooden ones, 110-footers, but the Navy needed a company with long experience in working heavy steel, and these 50 sleek, diesel-powered avengers will be built by workers who in peacetime pioneered modern streamlined trains. Although almost all present employes of the car works will work on the ships, several thousand men will have to be en gaged from outside and trained in shipbuilding crafts. It was pointed out that many skilled workers, in cluding welders, riveters, electri oians, pipe and frame fitters, sheet metal workers, poiners, painters, plumbers and cabinet makers are readily adaptable to shipbuilding. Retail Trade Shows A Steady Decrease ?

Smith and Sons ROBERSONVILLK, NORTH CAROLINA Food Supply Will Be | Largest On Recordj Barring unpredictable develop ments, the total food supply this year \ will be the largest on record, accord-1 ing to a statement made by the U. S Department of Agriculture. Farmers indicate their will plant record acre ages of many crops. Production of milk and eggs is rising in seasonal volume. Marketing of livestock is also expected to increase in coming ! months. A summary of the situation by the > Bureau of Agricultural Economics shows that both the production and consumption of feed will set new high records this year, provided all production and marketing goals to meet the war needs are reached. Con sumer and Government demand for farm products continues to rise, yielding fanners higher priees and income. Costs of agricultural pro- 1 duction also are rising?notably farm wages?but net returns to fanners have been larger to date this year than last Biggest acreage increases this yearj will be in oil crops?peanuts, soy beans, and flaxseed. While goals for peanuts and flaxseed may not be met, the soybean goal may be ex ceeded Larger acreages of feed crops also are being planted to maintain feed supplies in abundance for con version into increased quantities of milk. meat, eggs and other livestock products. Bigger acreages of food crops indicated include rice, pota toes, sweet potatoes, dry beans, su gar beets and truck crops. The 11142 wheat crop may total 795 million bushels, to be added to a car ry-over of 630 million bushels on July 1st next. The total supply would be enough to take care of domestic needs for two years. Wheat trans portation and storage facilities will be taxed in handling the new crop. The carryover of cotton is likely to total 10 million bales, and to this will be added a crop from a larger acre age than in 1941. Some 600 million bushels of corn wlil hi- in the carryover supply of feed grains this year, and to this will bo added the crop from more than ^11 million acres of corn fanners re port they intend to plant this year Good yields of com and other feed grains would result in a supply of feed next fall and winter more than ample for increased numbers of live stock on farms at that time. The large pig crop produced last fall is coming tu market in increas ing volume now, and a big spring crop is in prospect. Slaughter sup plies of hogs during the next six months will be 15 to 20 per cent larg er than during the like period in 1941. But the market supplies of fed cattle will be smaller this spring and summer than last, and fewer early j lambs and grass-fat yearlings will be marketed prior to July 1 this year than in tire same period of 1941 Production of milk continues to set new high records. An increasing pro- j portion of the production is being | manufactured * into concentrated products. Production of evaporated milk and cheese has been up to cur rent requirements, but a consider able additional expansion is sought in the production of dry jskim milk Forecast is thai pi ices received by farmers for whole milk at wholesale are likely to be considerably higher than a year earlier during most of j 1942. Production of eggs was much larg ct this winter than last, and is rising now in seasonal volume. The total j output this year may exceed produc tion goals calling for an increase of I 13 per cent in 1942 over 1941. Sup | plies of poultry meat this year will, be the largest on record. Six to 10 per cent more chickens and turkeys will be raised on farms this year than last, and the output of commer cial broilers is expected to set a new \ high record. Potatoes and other fresh vegetables should be in larger supply this year than last, and a high record pack of canned vegetables is being planned by processors. $ Pvt.

North Carolina:?"In crossing an in tersection.u? .highways. or the inter section of a highway by a railroad right-of-way, the driver of a vehicle shall at all times cause such vehicle to travel on the right half the highway unless such right side is obstructed or impassable." In other words, it is unlawful to pass another vehicle at any highway intersection or railroad grade cross ing. Reports Big Savings In ^ ar Production United Aircraft, which itself has passed back $26,000,000 in savings on government war jobs after achieving mass-production economies, reports further - savings in voluntary kick backs from its subcontractors, one of which is cutting the price $2,250, 000 on one airplane engine part alone ... 1 Tea Tlu Government has ordered tea supplies to wholesalers limited to 50 per cent of the amounts handled in the same period in 1941 because of difficulties of getting this product from tea-producing counties.
