King To Assist With Planters Veteran Tobacco Buyer Will Be Associated With Peay In New Warehouse A. O. King, Jr., of Tabor City, who has been connected with the Tabor City tobacco market for the past 12 years, will be as sociated with J. W. (Buck) Peay in the operation of Planters Warehouse on the Whiteville market this season, it was an nounced today. Mr. King, a veteran of World Marketing Plan Is Outlined For Wool Producers Pool To Be In Operation ; Only During Week Start ing July 7th . RALEIGH, June 29? A con certed effort to assist North Car- 1 olina, wool producers in market ing their wool will be made next; month, for the first time, through an arrangement made by the . State Department of Agricul ture, with the North Carolina Farmers Cooperative Exchange. | Details of the arrangement were announced today by Rob ert S. Curtis, sheep marketing specialist of the department, and B. W. Kenyon, director of mar- 1 keting for FCX. During the week beginning Monday, July 7, all that a farm er has to do to find an outlet for his wool is to take it to ; any one of the 37 FCX ware- j houses in North Carolina. Upon ! depositing his wool at an FCX J wai-eliou.se, the farmer will re ceive a receipt. Curtis said checks should be received by the growers within two or three weeks after FCX receives the wool. He emphasiz ed that the wool pool would be| in operation only during the week beginning July 7. FCX will handle the wool on a non-profit basis, but will re tain a small fee to cover hand ling expenses. "In the past, many farmers have not been able to dispose of their wool," Curtis explained. "Others have found it necessary to sell to concerns which handle wool only subordinate to their main operations, with the result that the per-unit cost of handl ing the wool has been excessive ly high and farmers consequent ly have had to take an unduly low price. "No longer will a farmer have | to hold his wool for several years 1 because he cannot find a mar ket for it. All that he needs to , do is take it to any one of the j FCX warehouses during the ] week beginning July 7. Because j of the scarcity of storagfe facili ties, wool cannot be received ex j cept during the week designated, ] and all wool brought to an FCX warehouse in that week will find j an outlet based upon the best j prices prevailing in the wool mar kets of the world." FCX warehouses are located at Whiteville, Fairmont and Lum berton.

The win puts the locals back into a tie for first place as Masonboro dropped their tilt to Bladenboro 12 to 11. The locals scored in every inning except the second when Wallace took their only lead of the game 4-2. The Comets tied it up in. the fourth inning when Wilbur Council hit his first homer of the season into deep right field with none on. The Comets then tallied three in the fifth, four in the sixth and three more in the seventh to end the scoring. Council, Ray, Harrelson and Proctor with two for four and Neilson with two for three led the hitting attack of the Comets. The Wallace team got five hits off Dave Neilson with Huffham and Walker getting two for four to lead the losers in that de partment. Tuttle, the losing pitch er, did not retire a single White ville batter via the strike out route. Hardison relieved him in the seventh inning and gave up three runs and hit two White vilel batters. Bud "Mud" Heath was beaned by one of Hardison's fast ones in the seventh but finished the game without a miscue. Proctor's homer came in the first inning when Wallace's right fielder lost the ball in . the high grass and Proctor raced all the way around chasing Buck Har dee, who had singled, in ajiead of him.
