a payroll of some proportions. Esti
mates are th atthe plant would be in
operation through the emergency, and
might continue so rtwo or three years.
Those who have been active in bring
ing the cattle into this state say that
a packing industry might well result
from this nucleus as a sarted, and
local persons interested in obtaining
one of the canning establishments for
Henderson say it would be a big asset
to the community.
One of the requirements is that the
property would be furnished to the
government rent free, with some pro
vision made locally to reimburse the
owner of the property. Those having
property to offer that might meet the
requirements are asked to confer with
Mr. Dorsey at once.

BIG IMM
Outlook for Quality Yield Is
Now Much Better Than
Feared
CROPS ARE MEASURED
Practically No Violations of Contracts;
More Farms Under Than Over;
Adjustments Are Being
Made
As the result of generous rains in,
the last two weeks, tobacco has staged
a remarkable comeback from the state
of rapid deterioration which had set
in at the time the rains set in. There,
was not too much precipitation, just
enough to do the work necessary to
bring the crop out. Observers of th
growing weed say it gives promise now
of maturing into a crop of fairly good
quality, and much better than had been
anticipated two v/eeks ago.
Curing is under way in nearly all
parts of the county now, and will be
continued for several weeks before the
crop has been harvested. Most of the
curing in progress now is of bottom
leaves, and reports are that it is cur
ing out a fair quality of the leaf.
The quality will improve as the upper
leaves on the stalk are pulled and
placed in the barns.
Committees that have been engaged
in measuring the crop during the past
few weeks to determine the degree of
cooperation by growers in their con
tracts signed with the Farm Adminis
tration are stil lactively engaged in
that task, which has been found to be
a considerable job. It ha sheen found
that nearly every grower has done
his best to abide by the terms of his

The encampment was declared a
success in every way. The girls were

Tubercular
Clinics End
For Season
Defin it e Statistics
Not Available, But
Number Is Estimat
ed at 116
Two weeks of tuberculosis clinics at
the Scott Parker Sanatorium here
came to an end at noon today after
some 116 persons had been examined
Dr. W. T. Thornton, of the State Tub
erculosis Sanatorium, was in charge
of the clinic. White patients were ex
amined the first week and part of
the second, and colored applicants
were taken the latter part of this
week.
Dr. Thornton was high in ms praise
of the sanatorium’s equipment, which
has recently seen the addition of a
new and modern X-ray and: rluero
scope outfit.
: Definite statistics were not avail
able today as to the reactions of
patients to the tests given them, but
Dr. Z. P. Mitchell, health officer, who
arranged for the clinics, said he hop
pd to have that data early next week.
There were numerous applicants,
and while practically all were taken, it
is believed this is perhaps the largest
clinic of the kind ever to be conducted
in this county.
