IIednesday, august [UMBERTON Mf | FOR AN0T1 limberton Market Has [Seen Steady Growth Durling The Past Three Years I And Further Increase Is I Indicated I. day for the tobacco growI just around the corner. At L o'clock, Tuesday. August 10, Emberton's warehousemen will t jles for the 1937 market| season. The result will be |veritable flood of money pourL into the pockets of the toI - i wers of Kastern North I : i the rate of $300.00 [ .jiw.oo ,j*r mirule. It will be I )>?. inning of another great season for Lumberton: a [s,in lliat will see all past rec[,? eclipsed. Even now. this Loco marketing city is astir; fat preparations are being fjo for opening day and for L succeeding days to _ come. Lehonses have been improved; L have installed new and Le modern sky lights; some [ve been made larger; in fact, [piovements have been made practically every warehouse in o tobacco section. Uptown, the n chants and business men are eparmg to give the tobacco cues a warm welcome. The :y ..t large is prepared, betr then .er before, to rare for r thi usands who will be there ily for the next three month.1. Ir. speaking of the coming opint; as the beginning of a sean which will see all former undage records eclipsed, the itement may sound boastful: t to those who have traveled ? cr ..... territory lruiu wiuvh l.uiu^B:on draws tobacco, it will be ^K,ptod as a fact. No market reached a higher peak in pop^Eritv than the Lumberton marK and no market has a brightK future ahead. Of course, Br, is a reason for this marHt's popularity. Higher prices ^B tobacco are the major reaB but when a grower is told I^Bout the higher prices, he wants ^Biiething more than talk: he ^Bnts concrete evidence. In this such evidence is easy to Hr Eterv man who raises tobacH knows that a growing market I a high market. He knows that ^Bmers flock to a market in ^Bolesale quantities when the Hv.s of that market's paying ^Bher prices is abroad. That is Hiat has happened in Lumber^B. s case. Several years ago. Lumberton ^Bs a small, struggling, one-sale ^Buket, with two or three small ^Biehnuses set in one block, and ^Wing only a few million pounds tobacco annually.

Three sets of buyers are needed to handle the great vol1 time of tobacco brought there each season. Instead of two or 1 three small warehouses occupying a part of a block, there are seven big warehouses, two big redrying plants, and five company factories, all together covering ten city blocks. To give an idea how .fast the Lumberton market has grown, sales figures for the past three years are listed: In 1934, the Lumberton market sold 13,272.S5S pounds of tobacco. The i increasing popularity of the 'market sent the 193f> sales up to 17,250,454 pounds. And in 1956,.' ' an ever growing list of new pa-, ! trolls, attracted by higher prices brought 19.575,65S pounds of tobacco to Lumberton. This is an inciease of nearly 50'; over a itwo year period; and part of it was made during a season when oil Atltoo loi.o-o >??? Vlll^l i I 4(1 I HV ku Vtl'iC showing decreases. Lumberton's increase is concrete evidence of the higher prices paid on her market. Ot course, higher prices build a market, but there must be a I reason for higher prices. In i Lumberton's case, one reason is 1 good warehousemen; first-class i warehousemen of top-notch ealii bre.

Cardwell) Cash crop farmers in the Coastal Plain and Tide Water sections of the Carolinas have made remarkable progress during recent years in breeding and feeding hogs for shipment to packing-house markets. Frequent mention has been made of the "Shay Method." in North Carolina, and the "Sharkey-Hawkins Method," in South Carolina, under which hogs are quickly made ready for market. The splendid results aeeruing from the use of feeding methods advocated by swine divisions of Agricultural Colleges in the Carolinas liave been largely responsible for the fact that hogs have become a money-crop on numerous farms throughout this section. In view of the interest that has been developed in hogs and corn, T fool Ihot oovfnin infiimntioTi ilf? velopcd at Auburn, Alabama, from work extending over a 15 year period, showing the hogging off of corn was substantially more profitable than harvesting and marketing corn, in all but three years of the fifteen years, should be a matter of general interest to farmers. Lack of space prevents use in this article of the table of figures making comparisons between hogging off of corn versus harvesting corn in Alabama. An average of the figures for the 15 years shows a profit of S4.06 per acre, or 28 cents per bushel, in favor of hogging off corn cornpaved with harvesting and marketing coin. An average price of $1,112 per bushel for corn in the field would have been realized dining the 15 year period if the rorn crop had been marketed through hogs. The corn should be sufficiently mature to be in the glazed stage when the pigs are turned into the field. Soft corn has a tendency to scour pigs. Hogging off corn is a fattening process and it is advisable to use pigs for this purpose that will be finished when the corn is cleaned up.

THE STATE PORT PILOT. To Be One le Source Of Money jfc ? ; to 125 pounds when turned in the r field give best results. r Corn when fed alone does not constitute a satisfactory ration ! for any kind of hog. Corn is deficient in both protein and min, eral. Soybeans grown with the ' corn will supply the protein deficiency. A simple mineral mix ture of equal parts of charcoal, lime and salt will supply the necessary mineral. If no feed such as soybeans are grown with the corn, it is advisable to place a self-feeder containing both tan-, kage and mineral in the field i with the hogs. Hogs that are nearly finished should be removed from the field 1 when there are yet a few scattered grains and part of ears 011 the ground. Breeding animals and early fall pigs make gooil use of any corn left by the fattening hogs. A field of corn yielding 10 bushels per acre will carry twen| ty 125 pound pigs for about 15 days. Plenty of clean water and some shade will increase the rate and cut down the cost of gains. This is particularly true during the early fall when the weatuer is hot. It is good farm management to let your hogs harvest some of your corn while you pick your ' cotton.
