N. C. Cotton Crop
Se t At 635,000 Bales
New Estimate Up 25,000
Bales Over Septem
ber Forecast
Prospects for North Carolina’s cot
ton crop have improved since Septem
ber 1 and the State’s lint production
is now estimated at 635,000 bales, ac
cording to the cooperative Crop Re
porting Service of the State and Fed
eral 'Departments of Agriculture.
The new estimate, based on October
1 conditions, is up 25,000 bales from
the September forecast. Such a crop
would be 454,000 bales larger than
last year’s short cotton harvest and
56,000 bales above the 10-year aver
age crop of 579,000 bales.
Lint yields are now estimated at
399 pounds an acre compared with
151 pounds last year and a 10-year
average of 369 pounds.
“Favored by good weather during j
August and September,” the Crop I
Reporting Service stated, “cotton
opened much earlier than usual. Grow
ers took full advantage of ideal har
vesting conditions during September
and picking is well advanced in all
areas. Approximately 188,000 bales
had been ginned prior to October 1.”
For the nation as a whole cotton
production is now estimated at 16,931,-
000 bales, or 360,000 bales below the
September forecast. •
Senior Class News I.
By ANN COFIELD
Hi There ! ! 1 i
Oh, what a wonderful week-end! Os .
course, you know all about it but we
just can’t stop talking about that (
magnificient homecoming game. The .
Aces played a superb game and came
out on the winning end with an 8-6 ■
score. We are very proud of our
team and their triumph over the fav
ored Perquimans Indians. Congrats,
fellows ! ! 1
In harmony with a good football
game was a good homecoming parade,
sponsored by the sophomore class. The
parade was very successful and the
seniors are happy to have had repre
sented in it, a float prepared by mem
bers of the senior class. Our float
was a red, white and blue welcome to
the alumni.
A very nice parade was topped off „
by an exhibition of floats during half
time of the game when the Sweetheart
of the football team was crowned. The
band gave a fine performance in the
parade and climaxed a thrilling game
with a victory march down Hicks
Field.
With an entrance in the float con
test and the Senior Football Queen
Glenn Twiddy, competing for “Sweet
heart of Football and Gene Ward for
king, the seniors had quite a lively
interest in Homecoming.
After the game the senior class
sponsored a homecoming dance. With
congratulations and with happiness
and pride all around, the dance was
lots of fun and everyone enjoyed it..
Well, I suppose I’ve talked enough
about the perfect week-end, which you
already know and have heard about
over and over, again, so I’ll tell you
about how the seniors almost missed
it. Really we didn’t but about 5 A.
M., on October 16, we were sure we
would. It was with half-closed eyes
and sleepy yawns that the seniors
stumbled through the early morning
darkness on this day, getting ready
for our trip to the State Fair. How
ever, once our crowd had formed, all
telling at once of their struggle to
open their eyes, we regained our fes
tive mood and by the time we left-
Edenton we were all happily singing
and talking.
When we arrived in Raleigh about
ten o’clock we were all ready to take
in the fair. First the class saw the
many interesting and attractive ex-

hibits from all parts of the state.
After taking in the ferris wheel and
other rides, we were seniors just long
enough to pick out gifts and souvenirs
for ourselves and friends back in
Edenton.
Finally, stuffed with cotton candy,
pop com, and candy apples we left
the fair behind and headed for home.
It was a nice ride back, with every
one in a carnival mood, we talked and
sang every possible song including
popular, classical, Christmas, football
and children's songs. -
An exhausted and hungry senidr
class stopped in Bethel to eat and
rest, mostly eat. With this reinforce
ment the remainder of the- trip was
quite nice and with a happy sigh, we
agreed it had been a perfect day and
said, ‘‘Good-night.”
With the fair and homecoming be
hind us, the senior class has settled
down to business and to work again
on our year book. The seniors en
gaged Mr. Stevens of Elizabeth City
to take individual photographs for
the “Edentonian.” Beginning with the
senior class on Tuesday, October 30,
he has been in Edenton this week tak
ing the students’ pictures. With work
on ads and photos well underway,
I much progress has been made on the
• annual.
Well, I believe you are about up to
date on the senior news now but be
fore I go I’d like to wish “Good luck to
the Aces from the senior class.” As'
you know they are meeting another
strong and favored team tomorrow
and will need all our support.
Well, I’ll see you next Thursday so,
“Bye, now.”
