Representatives of two large
| seed dealers outside of the State |
[contacted the Office during the
l| week in an effort to locate surplus 1
| lespedeza seed, advising that aj
! smalll harvest of lespedeza seed '
| was anticipated and that they
were attempting to purchase in
j North Carolina as they under
stood the seed crop was good.
The Program adopted by Frank
lin County Agencies was to work
towards the planting of 10,000
acres of small grain tb be thresh
ed and to be followed by 10,000
acres of Lespedeza. To put this
Program over, operators of com
bines have been encouraged to
harvest all acres that could be
harvested proiitabiy and they
have been assured of good prices
for surplus seed. H. U. Mitchell,
E. M. Mitchell and W. T. Moss
have reported harvesting in ex
cess of 500 pounds of Korean
l.espedeza seed an acre.
j The expected acreages of oats !
i and barley, crimson clover, aus- j
I trian winter peas have not been !
i seeded due to dry weather. How- 1
lever, our leading producers of |
| small grain advised that they ex- 1
, pect to plant t-heir usual acreage |
1 as soon as land can be plowed af- j
Iter rain.
Tobacco grown on plots in to- '
bucco variety tests conducted by j
J. VV. Hudson was graded and ,
weighed separately during the
week. It will be sold Wednesday, I
Oct-. 30. and value of each plot
will be calculated.
One ginner in Franklin County '
advised that all of his cuttou sam-l
l pies had graded middling or bet- i
I ter: whereas, most of the cotton I
! produced in his community had >
| graded strict low middling last
year. He accounted for good grad
i es by proper preparation includ
ing clean picking and careful dry
j ing in the stinshiue before gin
ning.
Tile Extension Agents of
1 Franklin County attended and
participated in Program Planning
; Meeting for the Northwestern
District in Raleigh Monday and,
Tuesday of last week.
Many farmers in Franklin
! County were unable to obtain
Austrian Winter peas and Italian
i Rye grass at lasti minute announ
| ces W. C. Boyce. County Agent.
These materials were available
I until entire supply was requested
and delivered. An additional sup
ply could have been obtained had
I the Office been advised of the de
[ sires of the farmers. Forty Hious
and pounds of Austrian winter
peas and 21)00 pounds of Italiun
J rye grass were secured for distri
bution. subject to request. but j
1 was not near sufficient (1> meet
i the demands of Franklin County

YOUTH CRAFT SHOPS
AT MANTEO AND
BRYSON CITY
While artists worked hard day
after. day on the production of a
colorful pageant depicting the
founding of a nation, others of
less public acclaim were also
working hard on quite a different
display for Roanoke Island ? the
Youth Craft Shop at Mant<eoi
The remarkable thing about
this shop was that it represented
the cooperative effort' of the
youth of North Carolina, making
the articles on their own time,
while a youth worker at Manteo
managed the sales at' the shop.
Conceived in the mind of Mrs.
Pansy B. Fetzer, initiated with the
help of some of her assistants,
and executed by the youths them
selves, the shop has had the en
thusiastic approval of the Admin
istrative Staff, but was carried on
without any financial support.
From every section of the state
came craft articles made entirely
011 the youths own time. As u re
sult of keeping accurate records,
the youth worker who managed
t'lie shop wuW ftJile at the end of
each month to mail to the indi
vidual youths over the state
checks for the amount of craft
work sold. It is true thai these
checks did not cover great
amounts, but they were sufficient
to encourage the youths lo try
broader fields of endeavor. .Many
of them are realizing I he possi
bility of attaining independence
through their own initiative.
Came l>abor Day and the clos
ing of the pageant, "The l.ost
Colony" ? and with it came Wie
lust day of operation of the craft
shop on the coast. But the same
day. marking the President's ded
ication of Mie Great Smoky Moun
tains National Park, marked also
the opening of a similar shop in
Bryson City, at the entrance to
the Smokies. /
The second shop is. as was the
first, managed by a bonded youth
worker, under direction of the
County Supervisor. The youth of
our state are, through tlieir con
tributing to the salable articles
displayed at these shops, proving
themselves capable and willing,
and the craft shops have provoked
enough interest to justify their
being opened again next year.
Yancey County farmers are dis
playing a considerable amount of
interest in the use of lime and
phosphate obtained through the
AAA grant-of-aid plan, says Farm
Agent R. H. Crouse.
