Veteran Glass Visits
Experiment Station
36 Young Farmers Are
Benef itte4 By Obser
vations
The veterans’ farm training class of
Chowan High School visited the Tide
water Field Station at Holland, Va.,
Monday. The Tidewater Field Sta
tion is a sub-station of the Virginia
Agricultural Experiment Station and
was set up primarily to study pea
nuts. However, as was observed by
the veterans, the scope of the station
now embraces several field crops and
livestock production.
Upon arriving at the station the 36
young farmers were greeted by E. T.
Batten, superintendent of the station,
and Mr. fatten conducted the tour- of
the farm. The first experiment now
in progress observed by the ex-ser
vice men was the use of penta-chloro
phenal and fuel oil as a substitute for
creosol in coating fence posts. If the
method is successful, it will provide a
cheaper and more practical means of
preserving farm posts.
The peanut tests' observed involved
fertilizer practices, variety tests, crop
rotation and use of 2-4-D as a weed
control, which greatly aroused the in
terest of the veterans. Mr. Batten
stated that for six weeks after plant
ing there was no need for plowing at
all to destroy weeds in the 2-4-D test
and that it is his opinion that pea
nuts can be grown successfully with
out any hoe labor through use of the
weed killer.
Corn variety tests and plant thick
ness and the development of com hy
brids were seen on the tour. Mr. Bat
ten was especially high in his praise
of Dixie 17, Pioneer 510 and U. S.
262. To the surprise of the group,
the superintendent recommended a
low nitrogen fertilizer for corn, his
reasons being that bothersome suck
ers are avoided and that nitrogen can
best be used for corn as a side dress
ing.
In the soybean tests the S-100 and
Lincoln varieties showed up good for
early hogging. Wood’s yellow and
Ogden varieties appeared to be best
for the oil market. '
The veterans farm training program
for Chowan High School is under the
supervision of E. S. White, teacher of
agriculture. Mr. White asks any vet
eran who is eligible for this training
and who is interested in entering the
training to contact him at the agri
culture building at Chowan High
School.
BASEBALL
(Continued from Page One)
Edenton 7, Hertford 5
In Hertford Wednesday night of
last week, the Edenton Colonials won
their third consecutive game from the
Indians 7-5 to sport a 3-1 edge in the
semi-finals play-off series. The Co
lonials had an up-hill fight on tjieir
hands, coming from behind when the
Indians gained a 4-run lead in the
first three innings. The Indians
scored two runs in each of the second
and third innings and added their
final run in the eighth. Harmon
Young hit a home run for the Indians
in the second, scoring Kimbrell ahead
of him.
The Colonials were unable to score
until the fourth inning, when one
run was tallied, but in each of the
sixth, seventh and eighth two runs
were registered, which lead the In
dians were unable to overcome.
Garman, who trimmed the Colonials
in the first semi-finals game, was
again on the mound, but was less ef
fective than in the first game. The
Colonials solved his slants to the tune
of 13 hits, so that he was yanked
from the mound in the ninth. John
George finished the game wifhout
yielding any hits.
Lester Jordan went the entire route
on the mound for the Colonials and
allowed seven hits.
Trot Leary led at bat for the Co
lonials, getting three hits. Hoch, Joe
Wheeler and Bohonko made two hits
each. Sires was the best Indian slug
ger with three hits to his credit.
Edenton 7, Hertford 1
The Colonials wound up the semi
finals series Thursday night on Hicks
Field, when they completely out
classed the Hertford Indians by a
score of 7 to 1.
Bill Herman, on the mound for the
Colonials, pitched a spectacular game,
looking at one time as though he
would turn in a no-run, no-hit game.
He held the Indians hitless until the
eighth inning, when Nowell and
Young singled and in the final frame
Bella singled. The three singles were
all the hits made off Herman.
The Indians’ lone run was made in
the eighth, when Nowell hit to left
field. Joe Wheeler made a desperate
attempt to make a shoe-string catch
in order to prevent the first hit of the
game for the Indians, but the ball got
away from him and Nowell reached
third base. He scored on Young’s
single. In the final inning Bergeron
wafted and Bella singled. Cayton
flied out and the Colonials made a
double play, ending the scoring threat.
The Colonials scored a run in each
of the first and second, with the bases
loaded twiee in the initial frame. John
George, Indian moundsman, started
off very wild, wafting Hoch and Joe
Wheeler, the first two hatters to face
him. Bohonko then bunted and Hoch
was safe on the play at thirch Hoch
was later forced at home by Pratt’s
grounder. With three still on bases,
Leary fanned, and Wheeler scored
I when a wild pitch by George passed
Sires, Hertford’s catcher. Bohonko
flied out to end the scoring.
In the second Murphy walked and
Pratt singled. Herman popped out,
5 after which Hoch singled and Murphy
raced home. Wheeler and Bohonko
'both hit flies for easy outs.
Two runs were marked up in the
sixth. Leary and Fulghum singled in
f succession and were advanced on
. Murphy’s sacrifice. Pratt then hit a
, neat single to right field, scoring
. Leary and Fulghum.
t Three hits and a walk netted three
| runs in the seventh. Wheeler doubled
. and Bohonko singled, with Wheeler
■ scoring. Parker was out on a -fly,
after which Leary walked. Fulghum
singled, scoring Bohonko and Leary.
John George started on the mound
for Hertford, but was taken out in the
seventh after one out and two were
on bases. Morton finished the game,
allowing only one more hit. The Co
lonials touched George for eight hits.
Pratt, Bohonko and Fulghum led the
Colonial batters with two hits each.
Loan Rates On 1948
Cotton Are Released
Amounts Based Upon
Staple Lengths and
Grades
Government loan rates on the 1948
cotton crop have been announced,
says C. W. Overman, county agent.
A copy of these loan rates may be
obtained at the county agricultural
office.
Loan rates are based upon staple
lengths and grades. Staple lengths
in the loan table range from 15/16
inch to 1)4 inch. For instance, the
loan rate on middling grade 15/16
inch staple is 31.37 and 1)4 inch,
same grade, is 43.67 cents per pound.
Therefore, the loan price on middling
cotton will range from 31.37 to 43.61
cents per pound. The range in loan
prices is as follows:
Good Middling 31.87 to 44.92
Strict Middling 31.72 to 44.67
Middling 31.37 to 43.67
Strict Low Middling —30.22 to 38.72
Low Middling 26.57 to 28.22
Strict Good Ordinary —22.07 to 22.17
Good Ordinary 20.02 to 20.12
Spotted Cotton
Good Middling 30.62 to 35.72
Strict Middling 30.47 to 35.62
Middling ——-—28.42 to 32.62
Strict Low Middling —24.72 to 24.97
Low Middling 20.57 to 21.07
“As soon as your cotton is ginned,
have your ginner or a certified samp
ler draw cut samples from your
bales,” says Mr. Overman. “Send
these samples to the Board of Cotton
Examiners, Raleigh, N. C. You will
receive a class card showing the
grade and staple of each bale thus
sampled. On your loan table, check
the grade and staple for your cotton
and you can determine the loan value.
With this information you will be in
a position to intelligently market
your cotton or put it in Government
Loan.”
Parcel Post Big Cog
In Postal Service
Poundage Soars From
Few Million to Billions
Os Pounds
The advent of speedier nationwide
worldwide air parcel post service Sep
tember 1 brings back to minds of old
timers the introduction of similar
surface operations 35 years ago. It
was in 1913, according -to Postmaster
Silas Whedbee of Hertford that par
cel post first made its appearance in
the United States. ,
The service at that time was estab
lished primarily to aid farmers and
hamlets, located off the beaten paths,
in expediting their products to mar
ket and, in turn, receiving sorely
needed goods from larger cities. How
ever, mail order houses and other es
tablishments were quick to realize its
value.
Transportation facilities in those
days were still slow and tedious. Mo
tor-driven vehicles were few and the
roads which they traversed were fre
quently impassable. Too, trains were
giving off more sparks and smoke
than speed. There were no commer
cial planes in those days, either, and
only the foolhardy visioned the rapid
approach of this air age.
Then it took days to transport par
cel post packages across the country.
Some parcels were forced to go by
virtually every movable conveyance
before they reached their destination
—particularly to the more remote
sectors.
From that modest beginning, parcel
post has grown to become an integ
ral cog in the far-flung American pos
tal operations. Its annual poundage,
keeping step with the progress of
transportation, has soared from a few
million to billions of pounds of as
i sorted commodities.

“I am entirely convinced that the
color of a lure does make considerable
difference on the many days when
they’re (bass) not striking well.”
1 That Jason Lucas, well known author
ity on bass, talking.
He finds that a red-and-white plug
brings best results if it’s shallow run
ning. Silver scale and bronze scale
are very good on shallow running
lures. But these are also good in
deep fishing. The same might be
said of orange.
However, in deeper fishing there
doesn’t seem to be a rule regarding
size, action or color which works con
sistently. It’s a case of trying every
thing until one finds what they want
at the time.
In the hot weather of mid-summer
when the best bet of all is to fish the
very bottom in quite deep water, Lu
cas is satisfied with a plain white
plug or one mostly white, and one of
a dirty-brown color.
You’ll find one retrieve is all that
is necessary. Let the lure sink clear
to the bottom and rest a moment,
then sweep it along a little distance;
not too rapidly, and let it sink and
rest again. Then watch out for the
outsize granddaddies!
A bass seems to prefer to hide be
hind weeds, stqpe, or logs and spring
out on passing prey. He usually
strikes in the middle or toward the
head. For that reason, in bass fish
ing Lucas removes a spinner placed
well ahead of the lure; too many will
strike the spinner and miss the hooks.
Contrary to common belief, a bass
rarely strikes a plug hard, but gener
ally takes it lightly in his lips. The
usual angler works his lure far too
rapidly to be aware of this. A slow
lure will nearly always get more
strikes than a fast one. But there
can be no daydreaming. The angler
must be wide-awake and ready to
set the hook in a flash. This is par-

ticularly true in surface fishing.
In surface lures color doesn’t seem
to matter much. It appears to be the
action, the ripples and Utile splashes
that count most. But here, as every
-1 where, the longer a plug remains
within feeding range of a logy bass
the more likely he is to take it. It
should be moved or twitched occas
ionally to let him think it is alive . . .

Farmers Are Advised
To Check Fire Safety
Examination of Fire Ex
tinguishers Important,
Says County Agent
If past experience means anything,
September should be designated
“Check Your Fire Extinguisher”
month, C. W. Overman, county agent
for the State College Extension Ser
vice, suggested this week.
Fire hazards increase during the
winter months, the agent said, point
ing out that generally favorable
weather conditions following Labor
Day allow plenty of time for over

Mr. Overman said that figures re
leased by Fire Protection Institute,
national safety organization, show
that October fire losses in this country
last year increased 37 per cent over,
loss totals for September. The Oc
tober loss totalled nearly $55,000,000,1
he said.
“Many of those losses could have
been prevented if property owners had
taken time last' September to elimin
ate fire hazards and to make certain
that fire extinguishers and other first
aid equipment were in good condir

The county agent listed two basic
rules to keep in mind in checking ex
tinguishers. “First, be sure it is an
