Bumper Cotton Crop
Is Forecast For State
670,000 Bales Estimated,
48% More Than Har
vested Last Year
North Carolina caA look forward
this year to a bumper cotton crop
and tobacco production well above
the ten-year average.
This is revealed in the latest fore
casts of the Federal-State Crop Re
porting Service. On the basis of
August 1 conditions, the state’s cotton
crop is estimated to 670,000 bales, 48
per cent more than last year s har
vested crop and second only to the
1944 record crop of 710,000 bales.
This year’s cotton yield was esti
mated at 446 pounds of lint per acre,
as compared with 336 pounds last
year, a ten-year average of 336
pounds and the 1944 record of 464
pounds.
In announcing the forecast, Ray B.
Converse, federal statistician assign
ed to the North Carolina Department
of Agriculture, pointed out that
weather conditions to August 1 had
been favorable for cotton growth and
had retarded the development of boll
weevils. He warned, however, that
weevils were beginning to spread
more rapidly in some sections.
Flue-cured tobacco production for
the state was estimated at 678,950,000
pounds, as compared with 892,205,000
pounds last year. Barley production
in the western counties was forecast
at 16,000,000 pounds as compared
with 14,976,000 pounds in 1947. The
total is 23 per cent below last year
but six per cent above the 1937-46
average.
Production of tobacco of all types
for the United States is now estimat
ed at 1,777,783,000 pounds, with the
flue-cured crop placed at 1,005,007,000
pounds against a harvest of 1,317,-
000,000 pounds last year.
The decline in flue-cured produc
tion is due to reduction in this year’s
acreage allotments.

Industrial experts figure that ap
proximately 7% million work-days are
lost annually as a result of sunburn.
No one knows how many vacation
days have been ruined because of Old
Sol.
We’ve been told the whys and
wherefores of sunburn countless times
but never seem to learn. Outdoor
writer Harold Rogers feels that re
peating a few basic facts might help
us avoid that too-hot-to-handle feel
ing this year.
The intensity of rays which cause
burning are strongest in the summer
months, at midday, and at high alti
tudes. Water, sand and snow strong
ly reflect sunlight, and this reflection
increases the intensity of radiation,
making it easier to burn. Cloudy,
hazy days do not prevent sunburn.
Drops of water left on the skin after
a swim or from perspiration increase
the intensity of the burn. Tan alone
does not protect one from further
burning.
Prevention of burning is largely a
matter of common sense. Take the
sun in very mild doses at first. If it
is midday in the summer, five minutes
is ample. Then add a couple of min
utes each day until your skin is tough
ened.
If you haven’t time or patience to
acquire a tan by gradual exposure,
there are now available many so
called tanning preparations. On the
whole, these will not hasten tanning,
but they may prevent burning.
Those with oils are probably better
for dry skins. Alcoholic solutions are
recommended for oily skins. Non
greasy creams and lotions are usually
a good all-around choice.
Scientific tests indicate the best
preventives are those which contain a
diluted solution of paraaminobenzoic
acid, or esters of the same acid. They
have been found to have high absorp
tion properties, are fairly stable un
der ultra violet rays and do not seem

to irritate sensitive skins. (
If, in spite of this advice, you do
burn, cover the burned parts with
thick gauze kept constantly wet with
a good solution. In case of a bad
burn, it is better to call or see a phy- <

TRAINING PLANS
FOR SELECTEES •
Coincidental with the enactment I
into law of Selective Service au- |
thorizing the expansion of the
Am»7 to 837,000 plus 110,000 eigh
teen-year old one-year volunteers, l
General Jacob L. Devers, Chief,
Army Field Forces, has announced
that training plans for new troops
have been completed. "!
He emphasized the fact that no
special training program for se
lectees under the expansion of the
Army is contemplated and that the
new men will be trained with regu
lar army units under training
policies and procedures that have
been developed and improved since
the end of World War 11. .
General Devers stated that an
eight week’s basic training program
would be employed initially to bring
new and old Army units up to au
thorized strength as rapidly as
practicable. The length of basic
training probably would be in
creased to thirteen weeks after -
units had been filled. After com- 1
pletion of basic training the ma
jority of the soldiers trained in
training centers will join Units in •
the United States or overseas for
advanced individual and unit train
ing. Some will be selected at the
training centers to attend technical
schools for training in military
specialties. No 18-year-old volun
tee. > v\.,i t»e sent overseas.
General Devers also said that
many of the training principles
and methods Which proved so suc
cessful at the Universal Military
Training Experimental Unit at
Fort Knox would be used in, the
training of men under the expan
sion of the Army program.
He said that training procedures
developed at Fort Knox have shown
that the employment of the stu- 1
dent - instructor relationship in
training in lieu of driving methods
employed by “hard-boiled” non
coms have resulted in the promo
tion of individual initiative and ]
resourcefulness, resulting in a bet
ter trained soldier. This, coupled
with emphasis on physical develop
ment, participation in athletics,
educational opportunities and the
granting of the maximum amount
of pe'-sonal liberty consistent with
proper performance of duty, pro
duces a eood citizen as well as a
good soldier.
General Devers added that ex
pansion of the Army cannot be
effected immediately but it will be
realized as rapidly as possible con
sistent with the utmost efficiency
and economy. Some units .will be
organized immediately and others
will be organized on an expansion
schedule, with July 1, 1949, as a
target date for completion. The
Army now operates four training
centers where training divisions are
located. These are: Fort Ord, Cali
fornia; Fort Jackson, South Caro
lina; Fort Dix, New Jersey, and
Fort Knox, Kentucky. New cen
ters will be established at Fort
Riley, Kansas; Camp Chaffee, Ar
kansas; Camp Breckenridge, Ken
tucky, and Camp Pickett, Virginia.
Edenton Sluggers Trim
Nash County Team 9-2
[ Edenton’s Sluggers defeated the
Nashville Cubs, strong Nash County
aggregation, 9-2 in a game played on
’ Hicks Field Sunday afternoon. The
! visitors started off -strong by scoring
’ two runs in the first inning when they
1 made three of their five hits. After
the initial inning, however, Paul Gre
gory, on the mound for the Sluggers,
tightened up and was complete mas
-1 ter of the situation throughout the
’ remainder of the game.
William McPherson, Slugger third
: sacker, helped along the cause by
’ knocking the ball over left field fence
late in the game for a home run with
one runner on base.
