1947 was the greatest on record
and much larger than in 1946.
The unusually large slaughter
is sharply reducing the num* er
of cattle on farms. Slaughter in
1948 will be less than this year’s
record, according to the USDA.

mercial early Irish potatoes in
North Carolina indicate that
they expect to plant 23,400 acres
in 1948, or two per cent less
than they harvested in 1947.
according to the Federal-State
Crop Reporting Service.
The Service added that the
1948 intended acreage in other
states which normally sell their
potatoes about the same time
that North Carolina does i s

year's.

In Memoriam
In loving memory of our hus
band and father, John Charles
Whitson, whom God called away
four years ago today. January
21, 1948.
[n the cemetery softly sleeping.
Where the flowers gently wave
Lies the one we loves so dearly
In his lonely silent grave.
Friends may think we'll soon for
get him
And our wounded hearts be
healed.
But they little know the suffering
That’s in our hearts concealed.
God knew your load was heavy
Though you never complained
So he took you home to Heaven
where
There is no grief or pain.
Mrs. John C. Whitson
and son. Bill.

Agriculture Spokesmen
Warn Against Sale of
Illegal Tobacco-Curer
Raleigh—Reports that some
dealers are offering for salei
mechanical tobacco-curers that,
fail to meet state requirements
have been received by C. D.
Baucom, superintendent of the
Weights and eMasures Division
of the North Carolina Depart
ment of Agriculture.
He warned that regulations
that became effective last Sep
tember 1 require that all types
of mechanical tobacco-curers be
tested and approved by the De
partment of Agriculture, and
forbid the sale in this state of
any curers which do not carry
permit tags indicating that they
have been approved.
“Dealers make themselves li
able by selling tobacco curers
that do not carry permit tags
as required by law.” Baucom
said. The penalty for violation,
be added, may range from $50
to $500 in fines and from 30 days
to one year imprisonment.
The burden of obtaining ap
proval and supplying the tags
lies with the manufacturers.
Baucom explained. He advised
dealers to check any mechanic
al curers in stock and, if they
do not carry permit tags, to get
in touch with the manufacturer
before making further sales.
Most manufacturers are en
deavoring to comply with the
new regulations, said Baucom.
adding that he believed the com
plaints he had received had re
sulted from the sale of curers
carried over by dealers from
last year.

At the meeting voluntary state

session and to make every effort
in their power to secure the nec
essary additional appropriation.
At the request of the local unit. [
every civic organization in the
city agreed unhesitatingly to pre
sent the matter for discussion at
its next meeting. In several of

The Junior Chamber of Com
merce not only voted unanimou
sly to endorse the request, but
voted to send a copy of the reso
lution to every other Javce.' club
in the state and suggest similar,
action on their part.
