ASSOCIATED PRESS AKD CENTEAt PRESS 36 Men Are Measuring Crops Here Will Determine If Acreage Pledged Ha& Been Retired From Production Thirty-six men working in pairs all over the county are engaged at this time in measuring acreage planted to tobacco and cotton by means of check ing on compliance by farmers with the terms of their contracts signed with the government for reducing their crops in 1934. In sonr.e townships as many as six men are at work; in others the num ber is less, depending on the size of the township and the number of farm ers in the area. The workers have been equipped with measuring apparatus and took the field today in most instances. They wiil determine whether or not the grower ij complying with the terms of his contract in the quantity of to bacco and cotton being grown. In other localities where the wont has gotten under way. very few viola tions of the agreement have been re ported, it is said Kadi of the 36 men at work receives compensation of $2.85 per day for his services. This is paid by the govern ment. The pay includes the use of au tomobiles, and each worker or team cf workers furnishes the necessary gasoline, paper, pencils and other equipment without additional compen sation other than the daily pay. J. W. Sanders, county farm agent, w.io is in charge of the work, said to day tie estimated two or three weeks world be required for completion of the undertaking. He does not antici pate rnhny infractions of the contract agreements, and thinks that most ot i the anticipated few that may be found will be due more than anything else to unintentional excesses. Fellow-reeling is the essential condi tion of the social state.

In the Eastern North Carolina bell. Mr. Lanier acted as laison officer yesterday between the warehousemen, who offered a conflicting schedule ol opening dates rrom that offered by the buyers, who have heretofore fixed .he opening dates. The differences were adjusted by M. L. Wilson, acting secretary, by ac cepting the buyerjs’ dates, but pro viding that the larger hrastern North Carolina and Middle Ben North Caro lina markets must open on a “re stricted” basis, thus avoiding the nec essity of closing the markets in Geor gia and South Carolina to provide the necessary sets of buyers. The South Carolina and border North Carolina markets will open on August 9, and those in Eastern North Carolina in August 23, but the open ing will find only two sets of buyers for Wilson and Greenville, and prob ably also for Kinston anc?

TOBACCO OUTLOOK STILL ONLY FAIR Crop Needs Rain for Matur ity; Cotton Shows Some Improvement The outlook for tobacco at the end of another week is only fair in Vance county, according to J. W. Sanders, county farm agent. He said today that the crop is needing rain, but is not particularly suffering for want of it. It will not be many days before to bacco will ; Jtually be retarded for want of moisture, however, if showers are delayed much longev. Rains have been promised in weath er forecasts for the past several days, but they have not been received, al though indications hav pointed to rain, several times. Cool weather at the first of the week brought little rain fall, but the days and nights have again turned warm. Tobacco is rather spotted in places, also. Stands are good in most in stance, but there are a number of fields about over the county that have not matured so far as. they should. Some have started “buttoning", and growth has thus been stunted. There have also been complaints of insect damage and farmers nave found it necessary to get into the fields in the fight against cut worms. The crop for the most part is no ticeably free from grass. Cotton is showing some improve ment as the result of the dry weather, and locks better now than it has at any time since planting was finished in the late spring. But rains now would be a big boost to tobacco in particular, and would not hurt cotton.
