WORKMAN'S Miss Westmoreland Gradutes At Meredith Miss Margaret Westmoreland was one of five seniors at Meredith col lege granted degrees in the mid-year graduation exercises Saturday. The mid-year graduating exercise was initiated in February, 1946, af-i ter Meredith college adopted the ac celerated program of study during war years. Two other graduating ex ercises are held during each year; the regular commencement at the close of the College year, in May or June; and another at the end of the summer session each August. FFA To Plant About A Million Trees In State During Year Close to 500,000 trees will be planted in North Carolina this year by members of the Future Farmers of America. The project is part of the reg ular instructional program for these farm youths who are devoting time to conservation farming and land i use. It is being conducted in cooper- | ation with the Division of Forestry and Parks, Department of Conser vation and Development, the Ten nessee Valley Authority, and pri vate agencies. The trees will be set on land which is eroded, too steep, or in other ways not suitable for culti vation. In some instances, school demonstration forests will be start ed on land owned or controlled by local schools. Shortleaf and Loblolly Pine, Yel-j low Poplar and White Pine seed-! lings will be used in this continuing reforestation project. State Certifies 38?378 Bushels Of Seed Potatoes ! North Carolina Irish potato grow ers will have 38,378 bushels of | home-grown, certified seed available j for purchase this spring, officials of the State Crop Improvement' Asso ciation have announced. Foil Mc Laughlin, research instructor in ag ronomy at State College, completed i his inspection of the seed crop last week. j The approved potatoes were pro-! duced by 88 growers who will now \ be able to place certified seed stock [ on the market. The potatoes of 12 j additional growers were rejected, j McLaughlin said. Some of these re-j jected potatoes will be marketed as; non-certified seed. Avery County growers produced j 26,433 bushels, or about two thirds! of the total amount certified. Other counties producing certified seed in clude Ashe, 6,000 bushels; Mitchell 1,995; Watauga, 1,700; Haywood, 1,200; Henderson, 400; Transylva nia, 300 each; and Alleghany, 50. Ring rot and net necrosis, two serious potato diseases, were the main reasons why about 4,000 bu shels of seed failed to meet certifi cation requirements. McLaughlin said ring rot is so serious and so easily spread that in harvesting, storing and cutting seed pieces that no tolerance is allowed in certified! seed stock. In most cases samples were double-checked by State College plant pathologists who used the gram-stain testing procedure. Net necrosis, found mainly at lower altitudes, is a tuber disease appar ently associated with purple top and blue stem wilts. Because it causes' hairy sprouts and weakens the po tato plants, only 5 per cent tolerance is allowed. Sequoia was the principal variety grown. Only a few Essex and Ka chadin seed were produced. AIR MAIL Air mail volume for December broke all records, according to the Postoffice Department. Reports from the field indicate an increase of 40 per cent over December, 1947. More than 13,500,000 pounds were handled this year, as compared with 9,116,693 pounds in December, 1947. Much of the increase was at tributed to air parcel post, started last September. Forty-nine countries of the world are now carrying on soil conserva tion plans largely patterned after those being followed by United Stat es farmers. Average tobacco production in the State in 1948 was 1,236 pounds per acre ^s compared' with only 1,145 pounds per acre the previous year. Estimates on the 1948 corn crop now place the-State average at 31 bushels per acre. Total production was about 69 million bushels. Production of farm machinery last year exceeded the previous record, established in 1947, by about 115 per cent. Why be disappoint ed with your meats?
