Corn Yield Checks
On 4-H Projects
Average Yield* on 25
Projects 70.45 Bushels
Per Acre
Corn yields have been checked on
25 4-H Club corn projects, according
to County Agent C. W. Overman.
These projects are one acre each and
Mr. Overman reports yields range
from 36.59 to 107.45 bushels per acre.
Three projects yielded over 100 bush
els per acre, one between 90 and 100,
two between 80 and 90, seven between
70 and 80, six between 60 and 70,
tjiree between 50 and 60, two between
40 and 50, and one between 30 and 40
bushels per acre. The average yield
per acre on the 25 projects was 70.45
bushels.
Bennie Monds of the Center Hill
community found that G-717 grown
by his son Louis, a 4-H Club mem
ber, last year outyielded his com
over 12 bushels per acre with the
same treatment. He was so well
pleased that he planted a large por
tion of his crop to G-717 this year.
Mr. Monds finds that his crop of
G-717 is yielding approximately 105
bushels per acre this year and says
it is the best corn crop that he has
ever grown.

September Saving
Bond Sales Total
$32,112 In Chowan
Chairman T. C. Byrum
Urges Purchase as
Best Investment
T. C. Byrum, chairman of the
Chowan County U. S. Savings Bonds
Committee, announced this week that
according to the monthly report just
received from State Director Allison
James in Greensboro, total Savings
Bonds sales in September for Chowan
County amounted to $32,112.75. Os
this total $26,512.75 was in Series E
Bonds and $5,600 in Series G Bonds.
The total September State sales in
North Carolina’s 100 counties were
as follows: Series E Bonds $3,404,-
900; Series F Bonds $255,022.75;
Series G Bonds $1,430,400; total E,
F and G sales $5,090,322.75.
In announcing the above figures,
Mr. Byrum further stated that “there
is now underw r ay a campaign ift North
Carolina to promote savings through
the sale of U. S. Savings Bonds, par
ticularly aimed to reach our farmers
who are in the process of marketing
tobacco and other fall crops, as well
as at business and professional men
and women through the Bond-A-
Month Plan, which is in operation at
banks, and at industrial employees,
through the Payroll Savings Plan
which is available to them where
they work.”
Mr. Byrum continued “that thous
ands of North Carolinians have found .
|U. S. Savings Bonds the safest, sur
jest and most profitable way to put
extra dollars aside for the future, .
which is thoroughly substantiated by ’
\ ■

the very fact that they have.thus far
in 1947 invested $65,664,495 in U. S.
Savings Bonds, and that North Caro
linians are now holding better than
$412,000,000 in Series E Bonds alone,
and over $800,000,000 in the com
bined Series E, F and G Savings
Bonds.”
Another Very Deadly
Enemy Os Cotton Is
Called Tojttention
“Fire-packed” Bale Said
To Cause Staggering
Loss
The boll weevil is a deadly enemy
of the cotton industry, each year con
suming millions of dollars worth of
cotton, and is consequently the object
of a mighty battle on the part of the
farmers.
But another deadly enemy who gets
only a fraction of the industry’s at
tention compared with the weevil, is
the “fire-packed” bale, according to
John H. Todd, spokesman for the
National Cotton Compress & Cotton
Warehouse Association.
The “fire-packed” bale is one in
which a spark or bit of fire is acci
dentally encased at the gin.
In the 1945-46 season, 90,894 bales
of cotton were damaged by fire. At
today’s prices, that would be more
than 14 million dollars worth of cot
ton. This staggering loss brought
about a drive throughout the cotton
belt to fight cotton fires and particu
lar emphasis was placed on the “fire
packed” bale. Results of the drive
were reflected in the fine record of
the 1946-47 season, when in the first
half of the season the number of cot
ton fires were reduced by 40% and
the total number of bales involved in
fires by 79%.
Records of the Cotton Warehouse
Inspection Service show that for the
most recent period studied (the first
half of the 1946-47 season) 47% of
all cotton fires were definitely caused
by “fire-packed” bales. On top of
■this it is believed that the majority
of the 39% of cotton fires attributed
to “unknown causes” also resulted
from fire-packed bales.
It is reasonably believed that ap
proximately 87% of all cotton fires
occurring during the first half of the
1946-47 season were attributable to
“fire-packed” bales, Mr. Todd stated.
One fire-packed bale endangers
thousands of other bales if not seg
regated, Mr. Todd emphasized. “If
we are to remain the fine record of
last season again this year,” he added,
“and’ save 'the industry many millions
of dollars in fire losses, we must all
pull together to stamp out the largely
preventable ‘fire-packed’ bale.”

Edenton High School’s Aces on

games won and lost when they de

field 7-6. The Aces outplayed Green
ville far more than the score indi

made, but were called back by the
referee. Edenton also registered 19
first downs while holding the Pitt
County boys to four.
Early in the first quarter Wheeler
passed to Goodwin, who scampered
47 yards to crass the goal line, but
the play was called back due to a
penalty for holding. Again in the
second quarter the Aces drove 65
yards and with the ball on the two
yard line Jack Habit crashed through
the center of the line, but the officials
ruled that it lacked inches of being
over. The half ended with the score

At the start of the third quarter

yard line. At this point Russell

for a touchdown. Bobby Byrum also

Greenville scored its touchdown
near the end of the game. - With the
ball on the four-yard line in the only
serious threat of the game,' Perkins
skirted right end on a double reverse
to score. The try for extra point
failed.
The Aces continued to play an im

Earl Goodwin showing strength in
the line. J&ck Habit, Bobby Byrum
and Russell Wheeler carried the brunt
of the offensive play; while Andrew
