Tobacco Production I
Lower In Spite of
Increased Acreage
North Carolina farmer* indicate
a 1941 flue -curt d tobacco product
ion of 4S7 180.000 pounds, four pi:
cent Below last season, grown on
502.000 in approximately onei
per tent above the 1B40 acreage. J.
J. Morgan. statistician of the Stale
Department of Agriculure reported
on July 10.
"The condition of the flue-cured
crop on July 1. reported at 77 per
cent, indicated a yield per acre <>! 1
S'Jil pounds compared with the le
cord yield of 1042 pounds harvested
last season." Morgan .said, basing his
information on the Federal-State
Crop Reporting Service summary.
"The crop at this time is around
two weeks later than usual in pia
ctica'.ly all areas." he added. "Dry
weather during the first of the sea
son delayed trans-planting and re
tarded early growth. Although most
growers reset two or three times,
stands are considerably below aver
age throughout the State. Plants are
irregular in size, but late June and
early July rains restored soil mois
ture and growth is now evening up
at a satisfactory rate.

When the hogfish feels or detects the
pre: er.ve of an enemy. :t instantly
changes color to match that of its

never catches the transformation un
tile it is complete.
The riband fish is also an out
standing creature of the deep. It
comes from the greatest depths of
the sea which are its natural home.
Volcanic disturbances spew this fish
from its environment at times and
throw it upon the shore. Shaped like
a ribbon, the riband's body is so thin
as to be almost transparent. The
color of burnished silver, in the water
gives off a sheen of great beauty
and depth.
Saltwater Rackteers
It time 10 wake up! An article in
July issue of "The Southern Sports
man" published in Austin Texas,
goes over the sail water fishing pro
blem pretty completely. To sports
men who believed that the ocean was
a vast storehouse to be drawn on
indefinitely, the extradorinary poor
fishing for the past two years has
been a severe shock. And nothing is
being done about it. Shrimp netters
kill not thousands, but millions of
small fish in the inland bay regions.
There should be a law to keep them
out of inland waters. Commercial
fishermen bottle up great hordes of
fish in the passes as they go to and
from the ocean and their retreats in
the bays and lagoons. By stretching
nets, bottling them up. in these pass
es they can slay countless tons of
fish. Something should be done about
it! Don't wait for "George to do it."
Write your state representative and
senator. Let's get some action before
it is too late. George is tired!
Will It Rot!
That's what we call it ? rot! Once
we put our nice bamboo casting rod
in an air tight case. Tne rod was wet.
We forgot to dry it upon reaching
home. Next time we wanted to go
fishing the rod practically disappea
red in our hands upon taking it out
of the case. So ? never put a rod away
damp or in a damp case. Dry it
throughly. Your aluminum rod case
is not necessarily watertight at the
end. It is well to lubricate ferrules by
rubbing them thru your hair or the
side of your nose before assembling
the rod.
Timely Farm Questions
QUESTION: What should be done
?when crops contain too much mois
ture at the time they must be placed
In the silo?
ANSWER: One hundred pounds of
I dry hay. stover or straw Introduced
into the cutter along with each ton
of the green crop will raise the dry
matter content of the mixture ap
proximately 3 V4 percent, says John
A. Arey. Extension dairyman of N.
C. State ollege. Three hundred
pounds of such material, added In i
this way, would convert a crop of 16 I
to IS percent dry matter into a mix- I
ture having nearly 30 percent, ?
Ivery desirable level.
