North Carolina industry experienc
ed what is believed to.be a record
breaking growth in ' the first six
months of, 1946, according to the re
sort of Paul Kelly, Assistant Direct
or of the Department ' and head Of
the Division" of Commerce and Indus
try, made to the summer meeting of
the Board of Directors of the N, C.
Department of Conservation and Dev
elopment at Morehead City.
One hundred eighty-one new indus
tries and an even '100 expansions
within existing industries, providing
jobs for an estimated 28,638 new
workers, requiring an approximate
$62,491,500 in new capital investment,
to provide an estimated $47,939,000
in, new annual payrolls are listed in
the summary prepared by Philip
Schwartz, industrial analyst.
As compared to the over-all 1945
figures, which were thought at the
time of their release last Spring to
constitute the most rapid growth in
any similar period in the State, the
first six months of this year showed
181 new plants (in operation or iniacrefJ ghould harvested; said the

485,000 Bales
Production of cotton In North Caro-,
Una for; 1946 is estimated at 485,
000 bales, according to the first of
ficial estimate of the Federal-State
Crop Reporting Service.
This represents an increase of 18
per cent over last year's short crop,
but is 21 per Cent under the 10-year
(1935-44) average production. The
acreage planted this year is 34 per
cent less than the 10-year, average.
Based on present conditions, it is
expected that 406 pounds of lint cot
ton per acre will be - produced this
season. This is 37 pounds more than
was realized in 1945 and 65 pounds
above the 10-year average yield. The
acreage planted this year is placed
at 580,000, or three per cent more
than last year.
If abandonment follows the average
for the past 10 years, about 673,000

29,000,000 to $47,000,000 in appro
ximate investment; 17,000 to 16,000
new workers; and $29,000,000 to $21,
000,000 in approximate new annual
payrolls. .
In 1945, new textile industries (all
types) were predominant with a to
tal of 78 out of 225, or approximate
ly 34 per cent. This trend has con
tinued steady and even stronger in
the first six months of 1946, with a
total of 96 out of 181, or approxi
mately 53 per cent. Textile mill pro
ducts, with an approximate 39 per
cent, and apparel and other finished
products, with an approximate 16 per
hcent, second and fourth respectively
in the new compansonscale, seemed
certain to establish, with the new
textile industries figures, even more
firmly by year's end North Carolina's
position as the leading textile manu
facturing State of the nation.
Continuing, too, the state's record
as the leader in furniture and finish
ed lumber products, new industries
in those categories were 16 per cent
of the total, Surprising, and heart
ening to state leaders, was the 8 per
cent shown in food, and kindred pro
ducts in a state which raises much
but has processed little food commod
ities. And the 6 per cent attributed
to miscellaneous indicates that the re

Board and other agencies toward the
P i development of original new inaus

Itipa in tjikinir effect.
This latter trend is shown even
more clearly in the approximate in

Meat Supply And Prices
Expected To Take Jump
The supply of meat during the
fourth quarter of 1946 is expected to
be from 18 to 20 percent larger than
last spring, according to John Win
field, market newsman with the N.
C. Department of Agriculture, who
based his opinion on figures contain
ed in a release of Bureau of Agri
cultural Economics figures. How
ever, Winfield added, price rises at
present are out-distancing the rise
in incomes, especially in the case of
pork and beef.
While the North Carolina pig crop
of 651,000 head in the spring season
of 1946 was 63,000 head, or nine per
cent, more than production in the
spring of 1945, this is still 66,000
head under the 10-year average from
1935-44.
Cattle and hog receipts declined on
all major markets during the third
and fourth week of July, Winfield
Stated, and this Jias furthered the
gradual price rise for these slaughter
animals. The reduction of cattle re
ceipts at 12 principal markets for
the month of June was 30 per cent
below the corresponding period of
last year.
Meat production in the calendar
year 1947 may be a billion pounds
smaller than this year and about
three billion pounds below the 1944
record output, Winfield concluded.

Praises Memorial
Perquimans County's living war
memorial, Memorial Field, has been
praised and lauded not only by local
residents but by many former resi
dents who have visited this commun
ity during the past summer, however,
one of the finest tributes paid the
field was voiced this week by L. M.
Newhpld, former resident who now
lies at Rutherford, N. J.
While visiting here this week Mr.
Newbold stated when he first viewed
the field it was a thrill to see such a
splendid Memorial; for its she and good root, systems, other stalks wlU

One of the principal reasons why
hybrid com produces larger yields
than open pollinated corn is due to
the absence of barren stalks.
Dr. R. P. Moore, seed improvement
expert of the Agricultural Experi
ment Station at . State College, sug
gests that farmers make checks on
their corn this summer where they
are growing both hybrid and open
pollinated corn.
The hybrid should produce an ear
on every stalk, with many stalks
producing more than one ear. Stand
is very important and the number of
plants per acre is often the deciding
factor in large yields per acre, where
the crop is given full fertilization.
Barren stalks will be found in the
open pollinated corn.
Growers will also note that the hy
brid corn has a very uniform root
system, according to Dr. Moore. On
the other hand, they will also find
that while some stalks of the open
pollinated variety have exceptionally-

Just any hybrid corn is not a guar
antee of good yields. Dr. Moore says
that while one hybrid may be well
suited to one section of North Caro

to open pollinated corn in another
section. , W '
