Cotton Prospects
Take Upward Trend
1950 Crop, However, One
Os Shortest In North
Carolina
On the basis of reports from grow
ers and Census Ginnings to December
1, cotton production in North Caro
lina is now estimated at 180,000 bales.
This is a slight Increase over the
previous forecast, but still one of the
shortest cotton crops of record. Pro
duction last year totaled 466,000 bales,
i The 10-year average production 4s
1578,000 bales.
Lint yield per acre is currently es
timated at 152 pounds compared with
259 pounds the previous and the
10-year average of 373 pounds.
North Carolina cotton growers har
vested 565,000 acres this year com
pared with 860,000 acres harvested
during 1949. The 10-year average
(acreage harvested is 738,000 acres.
\ The 591,000 acres in cultivation on
July was about 32 per cent below the
869,000 acres in cultivation July 1,
1949, and 21 per cent below the 10-
year average of 760,000 acres in culti
vation on this date.
The North Carolina cotton crop got
off to a slow start due to adverse
weather conditions at and immediate
ly following planting. Night tempera
tures were too cool for normal cotton
growth through most of the month of
May.
Rainfall was below normal for the
first four months of 1950. Growers
had considerable difficulty in getting
full stands and replanting was much
above normal.
(Fleahopper and plant lice caused
considerable damage to young cotton
in many Piedmont sections. Above
average rainfall during May, June and
July—particularly in eastern areas—
caused considerable flooding and wash
ing of soils.

Abandonment due to poor stands,

usually large this year—amounting
to 26,000 acres or 4.4 per cent of the
acreage in cultivation July 1.

Seven Rules Advanced
To Help Curb En
teritis Losses
A question frequently asked by
swine raisers, “How can I guard
against losses brought on by swine
enteritis?” is answered by the Ameri
can Foundation for Animal Health.
(Seven steps to help curb enteritis
losjjgs were suggested by Foundation
authorities:
“Isolate newly-purchased swine from
the home herd for at least three weeks,
until they are known to be free of
disease.
“.Control internal and external para
sites which weaken the animals’ re
sistance.
“Keep swine away from old hog lots,
contaminated pastures, cow pastures,
Stagnant pools and other sources of in
fection.
“Keep feeding and watering equip
ment clean.
“Check rations carefully especially

agnosis and isolate the ailing animals
from apparently healthy ones.”
“Actually,” the Foundation said,
“swine enteritis is not a single di
sease. ’lt covers a dozen different in
fections and disorders. Causes and
symptoms vary so much that a veteri
nary diagnosis, herd survey and study
of feeding and management practices
may be necessary to stop a suspected
outbreak.”
Enteric diseases not only cause
heavy death losses, the Foundation
said, but often leave pigs in such a
condition they may never gain pro

A Toss Up
Pat was engaged putting a water
main into the poorhouse. Saturday
came and the boss saw Pat dolefully
examining his pay packet. “Mistake
in your wages, Pat?” he asked.
“Oh, no,” said Pat, “but I was just
wondering whether me or the water i
would be in the poorhouse first.”
