MEDDLESOME BILL I SENDS LETrERi SPECULATION ON WHAT CAUSED THE PLANT DE STRUCTION 1937 TOBACCd , CROP—SAM WOODS MAKES , MANY TRIPS—THINKS SAN- , DY RIDGE* DEPARTMENT i ADDS MUCH TO REPORTER. I |, Sandy Ridge, Feb. 7, | At Young's School. | The past sunny days have been) well used by the farmers prepar- | I ] ing for another crop of tobacco, j M'any additional square yards of > ' plant bed have been added wit: j the hope of being roady for the, ■ plant destruction again, if i. j should come- I wonder who o j what was responsible for such a peculiar plant destruction last pSanting season. Experts have, s said it wag caused by a worm in ' the stem of the plants, others supposed that if it was wonr.. that it was a judgment sent or. the crop because of to muc ! strife and greed over the crop. At a countty meeting i n one of the nearby counties not ago, a farmers meeting waa held) and this subject was being dis | cuss ef~ and the specialist said Was a' worm. At tfeis junotuce r one prominent farmer rose up 1 and said that he wlas able tr' ' prove differently and did so by ;an analysis that he had made' I out of the State. This is being | .published. In ohort it was im pure salty fertilizer that killc the plants. There are still a few cases | whooping cough in the oommun j ity, several children over it an ;Uack i n school. One death caw ied by the disease, an infant c Mr. and Mrs. Tom Mabe. The funeral was held at North Vie\ church last Friday, conducted ;by Elder Ed Priddy and burial lin the church cemetery. The CCC boys are making im provements on th* firm of San Woods. Much soil conserving is needed in this section. Messrs. D. C., W. V. and Ban ner Wood made a trip recently in the mountains Sam Wood trips so often, for lack of space and time we can't report now. Last Saturday Warren am' Milton Davenport and their fam ilies from Winston-Salem visited the camp of their parents who are teachers at Young's school, j Howteard Davenport and wife of High Point visited the sam. camp on Sunday. In the after noon a hurried trip was made to i Pilot Mountain. I think the 1 Sandy Ridge de- . partment adds much to the Re- i porter •' ( Other things might be said buf s time will not a'low.
