average to-the lowest mark of the
year, report the United States and
North Carolina Departments of Ag
riculture.
For the three days comprising the
week ending the day before Thanks
giving, the general average of $86.28
was $4.76 below last week and $12.06
under the season's high of $47.38
established the seventh week of
sales. The lowest daily-average was
also recorded during the week when
Wednesday's average dropped to
$31.68 per hundred.
Most grade averages were higher
than the week before with tfie in
ranging from 60c to $4.00.
There, were a few decreases, -mostly
in fair and low lags -and, thin, non

Sales were composed mainly of
common to good leaf and smoking
leaf and low to good lugs. Nonde
script^ and 'dftnaged tobacco contin
ued to appear in large'quantities.
Gross sales were repotted as 6,
131,420 pounds at an average 4>f

The sales limitation of 5 hours a day
was lifted Tuesday and Wednesday
So that warehouse floors could be
cleared for Thanksgiving holidays.
Three markets closed during the
week, Farmville and Smithfield. on
November 25 and Kinston on Novem
ber 26. This leaves only four mar
kets open f6r next week at which
time the season is scheduled to end.
The 1948 flue-cured marketing
quota has been set by the Secretary

tion of about 28 per cent Convert
ing the quota pdhndage figures to
acreages, on the basis of the 1942-47
yields, the 1948 acreage allotments
would total about 909,600 acres as
against 1,257,000 acres allotted in

Bird Club Saturday'niozning and was
read by Tommie Bennett. It stated
Bob Wolff and three companions

pelican nests and several inactive
ones. These nests are heavy, rough
affairs, conlposed of drift branches,
and are about 26. inches across. They
counted 82 immature and 66 mature
pelicans. The immature birds rang
ed from the size of a pigeon to three
fourths grown. The large young
were covered with a white dqwn.
They set up a terrific din, squawking
and snapping their long bills. He said
it was a marvelous sight to see the
mature birds wheeling over their
heads as they examined the nests and
young. ? -

The boys assisted in making
marshmallow squares which were
greatly enjoyed. A
