The market for fryers and
broilers was fully steady this
week throughout North Carolina.
On Friday, some prices advanced
from one to one and a half cents
per pound and confirmed market
ings were quoted at 15 % to 17
with most at 17. However, at
many points, closing prices were
unsettled and better than half of
trading was to be determined
later. Receipts of live birds at
local plants, by the way, averaged

continued support and purchase of War Bonds. NROTC students
from Duke University were training at Ft. Caswell; Wallace
Moore had made the first delivery of cantaloupes to Southport
for the season; and W. S. Wells had recently purchased a 16-ton
truck for delivery of seafood to northern markets.
The Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation had just been
awarded a huge $800,000 loan by the REA for improvements to
be made within the county. The Whiteville All-Stars had handed
the Leland nine its first defeat of the season, 12-6; Trinity
Methodist Church was to hold a picnic on the grounds on the
following Friday; and the root of the yucca plant was noted to
have been used by the Navajo indians for washing wool and
shampooing their hair.
It was June 29, 1949, and plans for feeding wild turkeys at
Orton were being disrupted by coons. Wildlife officials had
sought to encourage the growth of the county turkey population
by planting chufas, a favorite food of the game birds. Coons,
however, with'no apparent desire to have turkeys invade their
realm, had been merrily digging up the food plants as fast as
they were being planted. Two recent graduates of the University
of North Carolina were pictured that week on page one. They
were Bennie Brooks Ward and Earl Bellamy. The tentative tax
rate for the county had been set at $1.65; Long Beach, or the
road thereto, was to celebrate its tenth birthday on the follow
ing Monday; and another beach, Holden’s, was getting a jam-up
new road leading there from U. S. 17.
A report that week said that a total of seven stills and three
men had been captured in moonshining raids by county law of
ficers during the month of June. Just getting under the wire
in the June bride department were Miss Josephine Moore, the
bride of Claud Wharton Rankin; and Miss Mary Wyche, re
cently married to Harry Mintz. And not quite qualified in the
June Dept.. Miss Betty Todd Corlette was nontheless engaged to
Percy Lee Pair.
It was June 30. 1954, and the front page feature that week
was a picture of the old BOQ. or new hotel, at Caswell Bap
tist Assembly. Several young ladies could be seen draped artisti
cally about the landscape and while the caption read “Caswell
Visitors,” it might better have spoken of “Southport High School
Beauties.” Sportfishing was in the news, and prospects were
considered good for the coming few days; menhaden boats were
making the same good reports; and even the shrimp catches
were on the upswing.
AMOS SPIAWN had devised a special contraption called a
“hog catcher”, which contrivance was duly described in Not
Exactly News. Our editorial writer had urged readers not to be
come a statistic over the coming Fourth of July holiday; local
shrimp houses were featuring free catfish bait—shrimp heads;
and dancing, carpet golf, archery, shuffleboard, bingo, and sun
dry rides were making Long Beach take on a Coney Island aspect.
26.50 to 29.25; and good heifers
from 23.00 to 28.00. Good and
choice vealers were quoted at
32.00 to 35.00; and good and
choice butcher calves at 25.00 to
30.00. Commercial cows sold for
20.00 to 23.75; and commercial
to good bulls for 20.00 to 24.50.
The price of shelled corn was
steady to weaker at leading
North Carolina markets this
week. No. 2 yellow corn closed
at 1.40 to 1.43 per bushel in the
eastern area; and 1.50 in the
Piedmont section. No. 2 white
corn ranged from 1.30 to 1.36
in the east; and brought 1.45 in
the Piedmont.
Winter wheat prices were about
steady. No. 2 red was reported at
1.75 to 1.78 per bushel in the east
ern area; and 1.73 to 1.80 in the
Piedmont section. Oats were
quoted at .62 to .66 per bushel
in the east; and .65 to .74 in the
Piedmont.
No. 2 yellow milo ranged from
2.30 to 2.55 per hundred pounds.
Spot cotton prices declined
from .90 to 2.65 per bale in
Charlotte this week. On Friday,
middling 1 1|32 inch was quoted

Cotton Penalty
Has Been Set
Marketing quota penalty rates
on “excess” cotton of the 1959
crops of upland and ^xtra long
staple cotton were announced to
day by the U. S. Department of
] Agriculture. The penalty rate on
upland cotton is 19.1 cents per
pound, and the penalty rate on
, extra long staple cotton is 40.9
j cents per pound,
i Controlling legislation directs
' that the marketing quota penal
ty rate for upland cotton be
50 percent of the parity price
per pound of cotton effective as
of June 15 of the calendar year
in which the cotton is produced.
The parity price for upland cot
ton as of June 15, 1959, was 38.18
cents per pound.
Legislation also provides that
the penalty rate on extra long
staple cotton be the higher of
50 percent of the parity price or
50 percent of the support price
for this type of cotton as of June
15. The parity price for extra
long staple cotton as of June 15,
1959, was 81.90 cents per pound.
Since 50 percent of the parity
price is higher than 50 percent
of the support price, the appli
cable penalty rate for 1959 crop
extra long staple cotton is 40.9
cents per pound (which is 50
percent of the June parity price).
Growers approved marketing
quotas for the 1959 crops of up
land and extra long staple cot
ton in refrendums on Dec. 15,
1958.
When cotton marketing quotas
are in effect, a farmer who does
not comply with the cotton acre
age allotment established for the
kind of cotton grown on his farm
is subject to a penalty on his
farm marketing excess. The cot
