Demonstrations This * ?r n ml xear rrove rnis L,rop Can Be Made Profitable Turkish Tobacco will grow and produce well in Jackspn county. This has been proven with the beginning of harvest of the crops the eight farmers of the county put in this spring in an experimental program to determine in this type of tobacco production would be practical. The cigarette manufacturers of the country use millions of pounds of Turkish tobacco annually for blending with the regular domestic types grown here for years. Practically all of this tobacco has been imported from Turkey, Bulgaria and neighboring countries. The import duty is high and during the war transportation was a problem. For this reason the manufacturers began experimenting to find out if this type tobacco could begrown in America. A i large number of farmers in Wilkes! county have grown it successfully! ^ and it is believed that Western' W North Carolina can produce the' tobacco very successfully. Eight Jackson county farmers planted a quarter of an acre each this spring under the direction of' the county agent and with the to- j bacco manufacturers furnishing i the seed and guaranteeing the growers 85 cents per pound for their crop delivered to the tobacco buyers trucks on the . farm. * There is a possibly of the farmer receiving more than 85 cents per pound for his crop as the quality controls the price. It can go as high as $1.20 per pound but the tobacco companies are guaranteeing 85 cents in order to promote the production. The Jackson farmers began priming their crops Monday, taking the ripe leaves off and preparing them for curing, which is) done by air and sun. Those enfe gaged in the production here are: Lon Seagle, Sylva;Caro, Wade and Frank Cole at Webster; Jim Johnson. Gav: J. B. Farmer Barkers Creek and Emmett and Candler Reagan in the Qualla area. 4-H Club Members To Attend Camp July 19-23 4-H Club members wishing to attend 4-H Camp at Swannanoa July 19th to the 23rd, please notify ^ the County Agent's office immediately.

"As Baptists we believe in the reedom of the conscience of the ndividual to arrive at his religous convictions from a study of he Bible under the leadership of he Holy Spirit.

Cabe, 25, died Tuesday night of gunshot wounds inflicted under mysterious circumstances in Harrington, Wash. Mr. Cabe, who had been working in a sawmill in Harrington for the past three years, is a native of nek.son county. His body arrived at Moody Funeral Home Wednesday. Funeral services have not been comuleted, but burial will be in Bee Knob cemetery. Surviving are the mother, Mrs. Minnie Cabe of Dillsboro, three sisters, Mrs. John Cloer of Darrington, Wash., Mrs. John Shook and Miss Gertie Cabe of Dillsboro; three brothers, Oscar of Dillsboro, Arthur of Darrington, Wash., and Homer of Gastonia. New Law Gove Processions Oi When you meet a funeral procession on the highway, you do not have to stop, according to Cpl. E. W. Jones, of the state highway patrol. "Often stopping causes congestion, and especially on a curve it can cause wrecks," he continued. "Stopping is dangerous, and passing on at a safe speed certainly does not show disrespect to the deceased," he continued. If the patrolman leading the procession wants you to stop for any reason, he will give you the proper signal, the highway patrolman said. All motorists in a funeral procession are supposed to burn headlights for identification purposes.

President Roscoc Poteet presided and told . of the efforts being put forth by the Chamber to assist the citizens of South Carolina interested in promoting the completion of a 5-mile section of the South Caro| lina highway leading lrom the N. C. State line to Walhalla. Tnis five-mile link lies within the boundary of the National Forest and funds for its completion must ' come through the Agriculture De. partment of the Federal Government. This now seems to be the 'delay on the project. The State j of South Carolina has toe money ready "Tor its part. of the job, and has a.so graded a:iu Mirlaced * e section ol the road ir on tnc Furest boundary to W. connecting with other pared Highways. ; The completion o: l.ns link of road ; is of great importance to Jackson | County as it wili provide a route through the county for a great number of travelers lrom the South and Southeast. The group learned that many of the tourists stopping here comment on the scenic beauty of the Tuckaseigee river drive over 19-A, stating that they much prefer this route to 19 over Soco Gap. Recreation *nd accommodations also came in for much discussion. The main object of the meeting was to make plans for the annual membership drive. President Poteet and the Board of Directors have set Monday, July 18, as the date for starting the drive. Those who will participate in the drive are as follows: Dillsboro to Swain County line, Ed Bumgarner. Dillsboro to Macon County line, Arthur Parrish. Dillsboro to Soco Gap, Jim Cannon.

"However," he continued, "that is not a general practice, and is not usually done after a motorist once finds he is in a funeral procession." The patrolman warned those in processions to Keep a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of them, and be able to make a complete stop in the distance, and at the same time give ample warning to the car immediately behind. The average procession will move down the highway about 25 to 30 miles an hour. This will enable the general motoring public ... to make fairly good time, without too much delay, it was pointed out* / M I
