WILKBSBo! sweiieteKlivM r^Show* Higlimr Opoamg Day In 1939 ‘ti&fHcnie; Raleigh, Sept 21. — Average prices were ‘'considerably higrher’’ on the middle flue-cored tobacco belt today—opening day—^than on last year’s first day, the U. S. ag- . lioiltaral marketing service and the stats department of agricul- I tore reported. Increases were from ?2.75 to |7.60 a hundred, the agencies saiu, with greatest gains occurring in fair to fine qualities of lugs and primings and low quality leaf. The bulk of sales ranged from $12 to $27, it was said, though prices ranging from $28 to $32 were “fairly numerous.” “Growers were satisfied and re jections swere negligible,” the re port stated. “The offerings con tained less of the common and low quality grades of leaf than open ing day last year and were con sidered of better quality. The to bacco sold consisted principally of low to fair quality primings and fair to fine lugs. Primings com posed about 60 per cent of the sale. A fire volume of common to fair quality leaf was also offered. Sales were heavy in volume with some markets blocking.’’ To Use $20,000 Check Fr«n City Of High Point To Bwfd It Hayes Family To Meet In Reunion Elkin—Members of the family a '.of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ilayes will meet in reunion Sun day, September 22, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Webster Hayes, in North Elkin.

Elkin.—An initial payment of $20,000 by the City of High Point in settlement of the High Point- i Yadkin county dam controversy, j j may be used to build a new county home, according to D. A. Reynolds, chairman of the board of county commissioners. The money has been earmarked i for this purpose, although no for mal action has l^en taken, it was! said. I Yadkin’s present county home: is said to have long been consid-j ered inadequate and present plans | are to build a larger, more modem i fire-proof structure on a site near-1 er one of the main highways. i Acceptance of the $20,000 pay-1 m6nt of the $75,000 agreed uponj by the City of High Point and j Yadkin county, is considered byi many to be an indication that the city will immediately proceed with plans for resuming construction of the $6,500,000 power plant on the Yadkin river. The check was turned over to the Yadkin commissioners by W. M. Allen, of Elkin, one of the at torneys representing Yadkin in the controversy.

Increased aid to low-income farm families hard hit by recent floods has been announced by Miss Ruth Current, director of home demonstration work for the State College Extension Service. The mattress-making program which formerly limited families with an income of less than $400 last year to one free mattress has been broadened to allow one mat tress to each two members of a family in 17 flooded counties. The counties are: Ashe, Avery, Bertie; Caldwell, Halifax, Hay wood, Jackson, McDowell, Mar tin, Northampton, Polk, Ruther ford, Swain, Watauga, Wilkes, Yadklu and Yancey. Five other counties were affected by floods, but will not be covered by the new provision either because their damage was slight or be cause the mattress program is not in effect there. Many families have been left almost destitute In the wake of these rioods, Miss Current said. Household belongings as well as crops, livestock, and feed on hand were sw^t away er ruined by the water. By supplying the affected low- incomee families with free mat tresses, and giving them other possible aid, it is hoped they will recover from the floods’ ravages much sooner, the State College home demonstration leader said. •Miss Current also reported that ihe mattress-making program tor ihe State as a whole is now turn ing out more than 1,000 finished mattresses a week. Families who are to receive these mattresses assist in the making, supervised by home agents of the Elxtension Service or trained voluntary leaders. Too Few Nails Often Used In Farm Buildings 'be of the proper length should used to fasten each rafter to the top of the side walls. The proper number of nails in such places sometimes seem to be more than necessary but they may mean the difference between a wrecked roof or one In place after a storm. New massive beauty^ new room throughout, In the erection of farm build ings, poor nailing of joints is Often the cause of later damage to these biuildlngs by windstorms. Skimping of the number of nails often means increased upkeep costs, says the U. S. Forest Pro ducts Laboratory, Madison, Wis consin. A poor job of nailing in the construction or repair of farm buildings and the use of too few or too small nails result In weak- nes.ses at Uie joints. Many farm buildings are blown down or sag because not enough or tooj^mall nails were used In their construc tion and while small nails do not crack the lumber so much as larger ones, they are not so ef fective in holding the building rigid. Good nailing practice consists mainly In using the proper kind, •ize, and number of nails for each pattlmilar part of a wooden tructure. In order to get the full strength of the commonwire nail under a sideways pull.
