Prices equal to 90 per cent of par ity are guaranteed in 1946, which is substantially the same as last sea eon, and it is pointed out that every government program has provided premiums for large peanuts. For that reason growers are urged to plant large type Virginia peanuts, using good seed and proper soil treat ment to insure a good crop. Tremendous Increase In Hybrid Corn Noted Pleading for patience among seed dealers, W. H. Darst, director of the Seed Laboratory division of the State Department of Agriculture, declared recently that the tremendous demand for hybrid seed corn germination tests this season has thrown the laboratory about eight days behind schedule. Asserting that "there never has been anything like this sudden in terest in hybrid corn," Darst pointed out that his division is receiving ap proximately 10 times as many sam ples as; last year. He explained that the increase on hybrid seed does not come solely from the increased amounts, but is also due to the fact that each sample necessitates about six tests, or one for each hybrid in the sample. If the increased samples of hybrid seed corn being received are an ac curate barometer of contemplated hybrid acreage for the State this year, North Carolina farmers should plant about three times as much hy brid corn as in 1945. The Statistics division of the Ag riculture Department estimated that 4.9 per cent of the corn crop in this State last year was hybrid. Meantime, the samples are swiftly piling up in the State Seed labora tory, and even stenographers' desks and tables are being utilized in the attempt to find filing space for them. Darst now has four seed analysts, two germination analysts and two recording Clerks working about 10 hours a day in an effort to place the tests in the hands of dealers and pre vent a delay in sales.

Predicting that total pulpwood re ceipts might drop 500,000 cords be low the receipts obtained in 1945, in dustry spokesmen stated these pre dictions would become a certainty un less the volume of woods workers is increased considerably." All possible means of expanding pulpwood production as a basis for boosting production of paper and paperboard in 1946 were considered in separate meetings by various sec tions of the association. Among the .any plans proposed for .increasing domestic output of pulpwood was a suggestion by J. L. Piland, Veterans Administration rep resentative, who urged that an or ganized group of former seabees be recruited to cut pulpwood in forests and in farm woodlots, thus adding additional manpower to the total now employed in woods work. Certain groups at the convention held that even available supplies of pulp would likely become "pinched" as a result of the pulp and paper in dustry 8 shift from war to peace time operations. "Pulpwood supplies must be in creased materially in the remaining months of 1946," it was stated, "if necessary paper and paperboard con sumption requirements are to be met." Mills in this area are urgently in need of more top quality pulpwood now, in order to meet the necessary reconversion demands.
