Turkish Tobacco Production Is To Be Expanded In This Area
It is a far call from Turkey to Alleghany and Ashe counties, but experiments in the production of this aromatic
leaf have been so successful during the past three years, that the program is expected to be greatly expanded next
year. The above pictures show how it is handled: At the upper left may be seen people gathering the leaf. The next
is shown in the upper right hand corner. In the lower left is a model barn with a drying rack. The
q{ storing after being cured is shown in the lower r ight picture.
Fanners are raising 34,667,000
turkeys this year, 16 percent less
than last year according to the
preliminary estimate of the Bu

reau of Agricultural Economics.
This is the smallest crop since
1943, but 5 per cent above the
1939-43 average.

Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D.
Everyone makes mistakes.
That’s why pencils have erasers
on one end. He who makes no
mistakes does nothing, but he
who makes too many loses his
job.
A letter from a discouraged
correspondent is on my desk.
This young man has had a hard
time, but so have other people
had hard tunes. He made some
mistakes, loSt his job. He is try
ing a new one and is discouraged.
“I am sick of living and don’t see
how I can keep the job I now
have much longer. The time for
a man to learn a trade is not
when his nerves have gone as
mine have, and when he is up
in years and spirit-broken as I
am.^The time for a man to learn
how to overcome an inferiority
complex is not when he is as old
as I am.”
All 'this from a young man
who is under 30 years of age.
He has made mistakes, but who
doesn’t. The thing to do is to get
up.-and try it again. There is a
lot of value in those old mottoes
placed at the top of Copy Books
of yesterday in which we prac
ticed penmanship, one comes
to mind: “If at first you don’t

L. P. Caudill, of the Sparta
community, was assisted last
week by personnel of *.e Soil
Conservation Service in sampling
some of his fields. He also, ap
lied some nitrate of Soda on -e
pasture field and found that it
over doubled the grazing.
J. H. Doughton had his fields
sampled in 1945 and treated them
according, to their needs. Last
week he had them sampled again
to see how these fields are com
ing along and if more treatment
is needed.
J. M. Truitt, of Vox, seeded la
dino clover in oats in 1946 This
year he mowed it twice for hay,
receiving good yields of high
quality hay. He plans now to
graze his ladino, being careful not
to graze it too closely.
Hugh Halsey, of the Piney
Creek community, who is doing
a good job of dairying sees the
need of quality hay in his dairy
ing enterprise, so he seeded about
5 or 6 acres of his best crop land
to ladino clover this spring. Hugh
is well pleased with his clover
so far.
Walter Spurlin, of near Hooker,
was assisted this spring by the
Soil Conservation Service in get
ting his main crop fields in a strip
rotation. Walter is well pleased
with these strips since they have
saved his field from loosing top
soil this summer.
A good 'dairy cow requires a
large quantity of water, and the
milking cow needs considerable
more than the dry cow.
succeed, try, try again."
It is surprising what one can
do when he really makes up his
mind to try; puts his mind, heart
and every effort upon the new
undertaking.
I went into the ministry at
about the age of this correspon
dent It was new work, entirely
different Prior to this time, I
had been in the manufacturing
business. I was working on ma
chines, books, not people. A man
can learn a new trade evep when
he is 40. I recall once teaching
a 40-year-old machinist to play
the piano. Someone sold him a
piano as he loved music, but he
hadn’t realized that a piano must
be played.* Then, with his money
invested in it, the only way he
could get it out was by playing
it. He took lessons with grim de
termination, practiced regularly,
learned to play to his own satis
faction.
Anyone who has reasonable
strength and ability can get a
job today, but not by sitting
down and pitying himself.
This correspondent needs to
get down on his knees and ask
the Lord’s forgiveness for this
self-pity, ask for guidance and
then get up and go out and hunt
a job, or else make up his mind
to like the one he has.
