Tobacco Growers Can Boost Market Prices i Tobacco growers themselves can do a great deal to boost weed prices this season, said E. Y. Floyd, extension tobacco specialist at N. C. State Col s lege. , The first thing, he said, is to keep , off the market all scrap tobacco and i all lower grades which bring less i than six cents a pound, s Heavy offerings of inferior and scrap leaf tend to glut the market . and depress prices, he pointed out. 1 Furthermore, a pound of scrap counts , just as much on the allotment card as L a pound of good tobacco. , Since tobacco is ‘a good fertilizer, ; Floyd stated, growers will find it ad ” vantageous to save their scrap for . fertilizing purposes. A ton of weed contains 86.8 pounds of nitrogen, 10 l pounds of phosphoric acid, and 114.8 , pounds of potash, j But he warned against the use of [ tobacco to fertilize fields on which 1 tobacco is to be grown next year, as j in some cases diseases would be car ried over to infect the new crop. , After the growers have sold all [ their leaf that will bring more than , six cents a pound, they should take the unused part of their allotment cards, if any is left, to their county j agents, who will try to sell it at the ( rate of four cents a pound. This would give the growers four . cents a pound for the unused part of ’ their cards and at the same time , allow them to keep their inferior ! weed at home. . However, Floyd pointed out, con tract signers whose allotments were neither raised nor lowered this year | are due to receive deficiency pay ’ ments in the event that they fail to produce the full amount of their al ! lotment. These growers should consult their county agents before selling any part , of their cards, as they might lose ’ more than they would gain. The ' agents will explain why, Floyd added. k Young People Entertain I County Home Inmates ; The Young Woman’s Auxiliary of ; the Edenton Baptist Church enter • tained the inmates of the County . Home with a special program Sunday i afternoon. Following several hymns i special prayer was offered. Members • visiting the Home were: Mrs. A. T. i Bush, Mrs. J. Frank White, Jr., Mrs. | Augustus Harrell, Mrs. John Lee Spruill, Mrs. Raymond Mansfield, Misses Frances Ward, Lena Mason, and Maryland Parks. Miss Lillie Wood and Mrs. Mclver Ward spent Tuesday in Norfolk, Va. To make the necessary « provision for this security is not always the most difficult part of such a program. The assurance that such provision will continue to provide ade- I quati' protection, that it will prove dependable, and (hat the requirements of his family will always be met, has often proved a I greater obstacle to the •ompletion of such plans- THE CHOWAN HERALD.

In 1932 Jack Sharkey defeated the German and gained the undisputed championship. Then in 1983, the giant Italian, Primo Camera, became the champion by beating Sharkey. Max Baer followed and put Camera out of top position in-1984, only to be decisioned over by James J. Braddock this year. And now with young Joe Louis, the sensation of the ring, on his hunt for Braddock, it looks like the Negro will settle the heavyweight scramble for a few years anyhow. And so it goes—up and down, but seldom down and up again. Cheer Leaders Take Note In order for the Edenton Ajees to put all they’ve got in the game, they have to have plentyr of rooters to urge them on, Here’s where the cheer leaders come in. Keith MacDonald, Uni versity of Washington yell king, says that in order to be a good leader of yells one has to do t four things: 1. Keep your back straight. 2. Keep your wrists locked. 3. Keep your arms and legs in line. 4. Never get down on your knees. It gets your white pants dirty. Now, you cheerleaders of Edenton High, take note. A foot ball team shows just as much fight as their cheering section. Let’s give them some real en couragement! On the Gridiron Well, what do you think of the football situation now? After view ing Duke’s decisive victory over South Carolina last week, the Devils look like they are going to prove a real threat both in the State and Southern championship fights. Coach Wallace Wade sent in most of his Devils, and still they proved j too strong for the Gamecocks. His ] third team which played most of the ; 1 fourth quarter rated along with South Carolina first. Looks sorta; bad for Washington and Lee, last year Southern Conference winners, who will play Duke this Saturday in Richmond. In my opinion a champ ion will fall. But over in Tennessee, where Car olina goes this week-end, things are . much tighter. Last year the Vols ] FREE RADIO ATLAS CQUPON 7m, 1 would Ilk* • Ft— Philco Radio Atlas of tha World.
