Letters To The
Editor
SOLDIER BUYING BONDS
Editor The Mountaineer:
I receive The Waynesville
Mountaineer weekly and think it is
a swell newspaper.
I recently read in your paper
where Haywood was short on their
bond quota. I would appreciate it
if you would tell the bond com
mittee that I have bought two
bonds, $125 in all, that I gave to
the county's credit.
Yours sincerely,
Pfc. John B. Deweese.
July 14, 1944
Camp San Luis,
Obispo, Calif.
Editor's Note Since the above
was written, Haywood reached her
goal, after such patriotic people as
Pfc. Deweese and others had dug
deep into their pockets and bought
heavily.
Three Haywood Youths

Vegetable Contest
Three Haywood county youths
have enrolled in the fourth annual
National Junior Vegetable Grow
ers' Association $6,000 production
and marketing contest according to
a recent announcement by Prof.
Grant B. Snyder, of Massachusetts
State College, advisory chairman of
the organization.
The three Haywood contestants
are: William Whitesides, of the
Bethel section; Walter Hollings
worth and Bob Francis, of Waynesville.
Man (summoned into court for
speeding, to judge) I wasn't go
ing 40 miles an hour, or 30, or
even 20.
Judges Steady now! If you're
not careful you'll be backing into
somebody.
Drive Begins On
Japanese Beetle
Raleigh Placement of 8,000 yel
low bucket traps for determining
the spread of the Japanese beetle
in the State has been completed,
C. H. Brannon, chief of the Ento
mology division of the N. C. De
partment of Agriculture, reports.
Long experience, Brannon said,
has shown that the beetles spread
from shipping centers to rural
areas, hence the placing of the
traps in 80 towns.
Brannon explained that a sweet
smelling chemical in the trap at
tracts the beetle, revealing its lo
cation. Subsequently, infected
areas are treated with arsenate of
lead and other chemical deadly to
the beetle or the grub.
State Gives Data
On Tobacco Crop
Raleigh The State Department
of Agriculture Crop Reporting Ser
vice predicted that the increased
tobacco acreage in North Carolina
this season will more than offset
decreased yields brought about by
droughts in the central and eastern
sections of the State.
Burley Belt acreage, 11,000,
last season, 8,500; yield per acre,
1150 pounds, last season, 1225;
total production, 12,650,000 pounds,
in 1943, 10,412,000 pounds.

Wheat Crop Totals
9,186,000 Bushels
Raleigh Frank Parker, statistic
ian with the State Department of
Agriculture, reported that North
Carolina's wheat production this
year is 9,480,000 bushels, the larg
est wheat crop on record.
Parker attributed the record
breaking quantity of wheat to the
unusually large acreage and the
big yield per acre.
The acreage this season was
558,000 acres, the largest since 1919
when 621,000 acres were devoted to
wheat. The yield per acre this
year was 17 bushels per acre com
pared with 12.5 bushels in 1943.
