Fix Support Price In ASC Corn Plan The Department of Agriculture has announced that the minimum corn price support rate in the com mercial corn counties of North Carolina will be $1.65 per bushel on farms planting within their al lotment and $1.40 per bushel on farms where the planted acreage exceeds the allotment. Washington County is a com mercial corn-producing county. In court; James Henry Sanders, colored of Plymouth, driving a motor vehicle without operator's license, $25 and costs; " Shirley Yvonne Overton, Wash ington, drivng a motor vehicle without operator's license, $25 and costs. the noncommercial counties the support rate will be $1.36 per bus hel. The acreage of corn planted on the farm will not be a factor in determining eligibility for price support in the noncommercial areas. In the commercial corn area where a producer operates more than one farm, he will be eligible for the support rate of $1.65 per bushel on the underplanted farms and $1.40 per bushel on the over planted farms. Corn must grade No. 3 or better except for moisture content in or der to be eligible for a price sup port loan. Complete details on the 1956 corn price support program will be announced later this month, it was stated. Farmers desiring aditional in formation may contact the county ASC office. Business Now At Crossroads In The Nation Washington.—It is apparent that U. S. business is at the crossroads. Chances are excellent that the na tion will experience a prolonged steel strike—in progress as this is written and that a settlement may cause another round of inflation. If the price of steel is again hik ed to compensate for whatever raises steel workers get, which is always the case, then prices may rise on automobiles, kitchen hard goods, and many other steel-influ enced hard goods. Employment is now high, with 65,000,000 working and take-home pay growing, but take-home aver ages for industrial workers have dropped slightly in recent months, and the trend may or may not be reversed, in the next few months. Business looks good for retail merchants and chains and for gro cery stores and dry goods stores. Building is also booming. But, de spite larger stocks of steel held by some automobile companies, a pinch could develope if the steel strike continues for a considerable length of time. And other industries may be af fected sooner. Economists disagree on the direction the economy is headed. There are indications cre dit restrictions will be soon cased and the soil bank program may be of some value to farmers this year. But the crux of the economic pic ture is to be farming and industrial developments in the next few months. A good year is almost imperative for farmers if the farm economy is not to continue to exert a drag on expansion of the national eco nomy. Developments between now and November will answer this question. A pickup in the automotive and hard goods field, coupled with a farm incline, might make for an inflationary trend of very good business It’s true that farm in come has become a relatively small part of the economy but it still is a major influence. Farm prices have started up, and if they continue in this direction, it will be highly significant. New models are expected to pep up the automobile industry after the strike. With inventories build ing up, and consumer credit on the rise, the steel strike may not have too much of an adverse effect on the economy after all—if it is ter minated within a reasonable time. Geologists Uncover Roots Former Mountain Range -«— East Lansing, Mich.—A “'lost” mountain range once raised mighty peaks all across Michigan’s upper peninsula. Geologists uncovered “roots" or deformed foundation rocks of the mountains during iron ore explora tions. There is evidence that the range extended from Minnesota through Wisconsin. Michigan and into southern Ontario. That was a nestimated 760 mil lion years ago. Erosion since then has worn away the Michigan moun tains to nothing. Tips From Couniy s Agent on Cure oi ]: New Variety Leaf i; Helpful Information Hand- !' ling Dixie Bright 244 Re- j! leased From Agent's Of- ( fice Here ji The county agent’s office releas- |' ed some pertinent information this |' week relating to the curing of to- | bacco which should be of interest | to county growers. I Dixie Bright 244 tobacco should | be harvested and cured similar to | the way Dixie Bright 101 is hand- | led, it was said. It is not expected | that Dixie Bright 244‘will cure and | handle like Hicks and Coker 139 | for these varieties are outstanding | in this respect. I In the recent hot dry period the | “sun-baked” tobacco generally was I not mature and was mostly tight- I faced —- not open-grained. This I “sun-baked” tobacco usually is dif- I ficult to cure. I Where tobacco is spaced close I and has large growth the first one I or two primings approached ma- I turity with little sunlight. The 1 over-ripe leaves are apt to be dead • and chaffy. If too many leaves are I removed from the plant at one I time some of the leaves will be on I the green side and will cure green. ' Heavy fertilization with nitrogen frequently causes serious difficulty in getting a good cure. Tobacco that is over-fertilized with nitro gen may be hard to dry and have a tendency to sweat and cure dark or brown. , Leave the tobacco in the field as long as possible. If the tips of the , leaves begin to fire slightly this , would be in the right direction. | Mature tobacco that has finish, oil | and some body is of better quality j and easier to cure. I The following summary was |' given: - |' 1. Over-fertilized tobacco is fre- |' quently hard to cure; l' 2. Let the tobacco become well- |' ripened and mature before har- |' vesting; l' 3. Tobacco that contains exces- |' sive water should be well ventilat- I ed in the yellowing stage to reduce I the water content as much as pos- I sible; I 4. Provide plenty of ventilation I and move the temperature rather I rapidly to hasten drying in the I leaf-drying period except when the I tobacco tends to cure pale or light I color. Under the latter conditions I let the tobacco become well yel- I lowed and follow a rather slow I drying schedule will usually cure ' tobacco with more of an orange I color. -*--■— _WRECK (Continued From Page 1) reported that Duchesne suffered in ternal injuries. Bud Lovic of Plymouth, Robert Sawyer of Roper, a crew from the Edenton Marine Base in a 40-foot crash boot, two coast guardsmen from Elizabeth City and a group of Marines in a 14-foot boat all search ed for the body of the woman for hours, with grappling hooks being used. The body surfaced by the crash boat, it was said, concussion of the propeller causing it to rise to the surface. Both cars were listed on the pa trolman's report as demolished and the value of the vehicles was esti mated at $1,750 to the 1956 Ford and $200 to the older model. Gilchrist charged Fredrickson with careless and reckless driving. He said Fredrickson told him that he had “had a few beers to drink at Albemarle Beach and was en route to the Marine Base and fail ed to see the other vehicle in time to avoid crashing into it." Two Marines from Edenton, Wil liam W. Lajoie, 20, and Lawrence Richard McLares, 21, met death on the bridge earlier this year. That accident happened April 27, the car striking a bridge abutment. ^topics" (Continued from Page 11) spot also for professional photo graphers. Mr. and Mrs. Winslow reported a most enjoyable trip.
