How much will tobacco bring
next year? What effect will this
year’s prices have on the produc
tion of flue-cured weed In 1937?
These are among the questions
which Dr. G. W. Forester, agri
cultural economist at the North
Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station, is attempting to answer
in a series of radio talks now be
ing presented on the Carolina
Farm Features program.
The next of these discussions
will be delivered November 4. Dr.
Forster, has already given two
talks on the tobacco situation,
the first dealing with the outlook
for 1937 and the next with in
tentions to produce and outlook
reports as a method of controll
ing production.
Drouth this year curtailed leaf
production sharply, with the re
sult that prices are above those
of last year. However, had not
the weather put a crimp into pro
duction, a bumper crop might
have been produced which would
have dragged prices down to a
low level.
Should no government program
be enforced next year and the
weather conditions turn out ideal,
farmers may expect a drastic de
cline in weed averages in 1937.
Following his talk on Novem
ber 4, Dr. Forster will return to
tho air November IS for the last
in this present series of discus
sions.
Th.j schedule in full for the
week of October 26-31 follows:
Mo;idMv, L. I. Case, "Progress in
Baby Beef Club Wtork”; Tuesday,
Dr. I. V. Shunk, "Avoiding Poi
son ivy’’; Wednesday, Zoology

Ing tnm our comnnlty lor soma

believe that some one would be
so kind as to plnoh hit tor ns In
our absence which would not be
hard to. do. ^
' An automobile trip across the
wooded plains of Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana
and Into the great state of Texas
was indeed a very novel and in
teresting experience. ’Wje hit the
high spots in the great Texas
Centennial (which is being held
in celebration of the one hun
dredth anniversary of Texan In
dependence from Mexico) and
returned home via Arkansas and
Tennessee after a two weeks’ so
journ. As We see it the outstand
ing features of the Centennial
were the Museum of Fine Arts,
The Hall of Varied Industries,
The exhibits of General Motors,
Ford, and Chrysler, 'The Alamo,
The Texas Rangers, The Federal
Building, The Texas State Build
ing, the Great Livestock Show of
dairy herds, exhibiting the most
famous cow In the world with a
record of approximately 12 gal
lons milk and 4 1-2 pounds but
ter daily. The Esplanade which is
the most gorgeous- arry of build
ings, lights, and colors, mingled
together and reflected in a beau
tiful lake. Nature may have a
more beautifiul picture, but this
artificial array la a veritable
panorama of beauty unsurpassed
by anything else on the exhibition
grounds. To go Into detail about
even a small part of the exhibits
would require more space than
we are alloted here. One very
outstanding experience which we
cannot overlook and will never
forget was television. To tele
phone and see the party at the
other end of the line at the same
time is indeed one of the out
standing achievements of the
century. Then the Cavalcade, a
drama wfth two hundred charac
ters portraying the history of
Texas for the last four hundred
years in a most vivid manner was
a most enjoyable and Interesting
feature. The Cosa Mayanna,
"House of Tomorrow” with Its
revolving stage was given at FortJ
Worth which city claims the dis
tinction of being "Where the
West Begins.’’ Most of the above
exhibits are at Dallas and it is
said most , of the Centennial
buildings are permanent and will
be taken over by the state of
Texas and used for a state fair
after the Centennial Is over.
