cern themselves actively with the j
betterment of health conditions'." I

Strawberry
Auctions Open
Soon In State
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh. April 23.— Auctioneers
who work mostly by sign language,
in sharp contrast to the loud-chant
ing sellers of tobacco, will begin sale
of North Carolina's strawberry crop
within a very few days.
Some of the markets are likely to
open late this week, with the others j
opening next. Harry T. Wescott, mar
keting specialist of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, said today.
There are markets at Chadbourn,
Tabor City. Burgaw, Wallace, Rose
Hill and Mount Olive. The Wallace
mart advertises itself as the largest
in the world.
Commissioner of Agriculture Kerr
Scott has assigned 45 inspectors, un
der supervision of the market's di
vision. to the auction sheds to certify i
and inspect berries as to grade.
Last year's crop brought farmers
approximately S1.31C.000 as the ber
ries averaged S2.60 per crate.
This year's crop is much shorter j
as to acreage, but increased yield per
acre is expected to make up for much j
of the reduction. Last year's acre- j
age was approximately 7.900, with i
this year's about 2.000 acres less. Last
year's yield was 506,000 crates. Com
missioner Scott estimates that this!
year's crop will reach 502.000 crates,
only a fraction of one per cent off
from 1939.
Commissioner Scott stressed the
value of the inspection service be-:
gun by the Department last year. I
'•An important feature of this sea
son will be continuation of the pro- I
gram to assist farmers in better pack- \
ing and handling methods", he said, i
"Inspectors will devote a part of I
their time to assisting growers in!
modern marketing procedure in an i
effort to bring them maximum prices]
for their crops."
Cooper Said To
Have Eyes On
Washington
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, April 23.—Some seasoned i
observers hereabout have begun to1
explain the comparative mildness of
Tom Cooper's campaign on the theory
that he has senatorial aspirations and
is running against Josiah W. Bailey
harder than against his six averevi
rivals in the current gubernatorial
sweepstakes.
The Wilmington mayor hasn't said
so—in fact he would doubtless deny
it in no uncertain terms and probably
with at least average sincerity for a
politician.
Just the same, those who think he
has his eye on Washington wouldn't
believe his denials and would con
tinue to cite what they believe are
entirely logical reasons for their sus
picions.
The argument is that Cooper is en
tirely too competent a politician not
to realize that his best chance for the
Governor's nomination would be to
raise merry cain from the back plat
form of his sound truck at every
cross road and in every city of the
State.
Thus, it is contended, Cooper
wouldn't have taken without a trace
of resentment the decision oi Dur
ham officials not to let him use his
truck in the Bull City. On the con
trary, running for the governorship
alone Cooper would have eagerly
seized the chance to claim he is being
persecuted. He might even have de
fied the ordinance and got himself
locked up—all of which would have
been "smart" politics, as the folks
see it.
It is also pointed out that Cooper
has studiously refrained from attack
ing anybody by name. He has shriek
ed about the "Raleigh gang" and
lambasted "those organized politi
cians", but he has been all sweet
ness and honey to any specified in
dividual.
One neutral we all would like to
ee definitely declare herself is
;pring. And it's high time she prcu^d
lersell' del'L»i4ely.jspro-summer.
