THE DANBURY REPORTER. Established 1872 16 MILLION POUND ; STOKES CROP; k THIS IS THE ESTIMATE j AGENT BROWN FIGURES FOR THE 1939 TOBACCO YIELD—THIRTY PER CENT. IKCIiEASE OV E R LAST YEAR SO.M i; SITCEKSFI 1, ALFALFA CROPS IN STOKI ..*5 | The If 1 .10 to';;icco crop In Stoke K county will total approxi mately tv/euty ;i.c«isan : | a »cs accoi ijtu; to an estimate reles~ ! by County Agent J. F. Bro.vn. This estimate, the County Ain stated, was arrived at after more than fifty per cent, of the tobac co farms in the county had been measured. This i 3 approximately fhirty per cent, more tobacco than was planted in the county in 1933 V when the farmers harvested 12,- 955,000 pound s from 15,200 acres. The 1938 crop sold f° r an aver age of twenty-four cents, bring ing the farmers a total of $3,100.- 000. Present indications are that the 1939 crop will total around sixteen miHion pounds and will have to average around twenty cent s per pound if the farmer 3 receive a cash income equal to the 1938 crop. If this Stokes county crop averages eighteen cents per pound it will fall short by nearly one-third of a million dollar s bringing as much as the 1938 crop. SUCCESSFUL ALFALFA CROPS IN STOKES Many Stokes county farmers can profit by seeding a small acreage to alfalfa. Seeding this legume between now and Septem ber 15 is preferable to spring seeding. Alfalfa does better on *+ heavy fertile clay loam soil that is well drained. A successful al falfa crop requires lime. Four thousand to six thousand pounds will generally be sufficient, how ever H is a good idea to h£We th-2 soil tested before the lime i a ap plied. Fertilizer to be applied at time 1 of seeding should consist of four hundred to six hundred pounds of 4-12-4 per acre. Seed ing should be at the rate of thir ty pounds per acre. It is well to use extreme car# in selecting «■ ed that is adapted and of known quality and origin. The most successful alfalfa crops are grown where a firm seed bed is carefully prepared and plenty of humus put in the soil before trying to grow alfafi fa. The application of large quantitier of stable manure is highly recommended. Some suc cessful alfalfa growers in Stokes county are: W. S. Hart and W - Frank Tilley ef fre Lawsonville community; Sam 8., and Walter Priddy nc* Sandy Ridge; W. C. White, Ross' Store; Fred and El lis Slate, R. C. White and O. O. Grabbs of Mountain Vieyir an ! King communities. An acre of alfalfa sounts two units in meet ing the goil building goal under the Agricultural Conservation Program. Volume 66 Danbury, N.

' "The reasons for a change aro not impressive," lie commented in a formal statement. "For 73 year the last Thursday in No vember has been observed tn I America as a day of Thanksgiv ing, and is so well established in the public mind and in the tradi tions of the people that a chan.,. is not desirable unless there is some compelling reason, i "The suggestion that >t is too close to Christmas and too liar away from Labor Day overlooks 1 .the fact that Armistice Day is rather generally observed. Any t way, if Thanksgiving was tc come midway between Labor Day and Christmas ft would b> fixed for early in November." I i He said he understood orphan ages h a i planned Thanksgiving 1 offerings and a change would dis rupt their plans as well as "rc i suit in much confusion as to many other observances of tho day." „ I Death of Mrs. Ellen Land i Mrs. Ellen Juanita Land, li 7, wife of Charles Land, of Randle man, disd Sunday afternoon at 1 an Asheboro hospital.
