"We have been spared stark tragedy," said farmers, " and we should give until it hurts from our crops." A CROP Assistant finds "many good souls whose hearts and minds are willing and ready to push cn and do the best we can." As a result of Mr. Key's survey is was found that in several coun ties a 15% cut in productviity was in prospect, but the general senti ment is that we should go on with the program "To keep faith with ourselves as Christians and with the hungry overseas whose needs are far greater than ours we must go on," voiced the Executi\ e Board in emergency session, "and we feel that the farm people will want to share their crops com mensurate with this faith."

"It was bad, but it could have been worse," McCullum said here this morning. "Three of my sons and another boy were in a nearby field when the storm came up and had just been debating whether to go to the house to get out of the rain." There was a flash of lightning and a sharp repeat, the field crew reported, and when they looked toward the house one entire end of the building was afire. The lightning struck about 3:30 in the afternoon. In the field at the time were John, Jimmy and Fentress Mc Cullum and Happy Edge Mr. McCullum said he lost all except two barns of tobacco from a six-acre crop.

Since last Friday, sales on the ι Tabor City tobacco market have 'been fairly heavy in comparison ) with those thus far, and near full i sales have been held daily. Sales ! Supervisor Don Hughes said today that the full 2000 piles allowed here daily would be sold for the remainder of the week. Through Tuesday's sales, the first 12 days of the season, 1,368, 730 pounds have been sold, bring ing farmers a total of $681,466.63. The floors of local warehouses were pretty well filled today (Wednesday) and the market will pass the million and a half pound mark during today's sales. With good, heavy sales for the remaind er of the season, the local market can surpass last year's total poundage despite the fact that only a fair crop has been harvest ed in this area this season. Steady to slightly lower average prices were paid for most grades cf South Carolina and Border North Carolina flue-cured tobacco during the third week of sales. Quality of offerings was aiso lower than the previous week and vol ume of sales was fairly heavy. According to the United States and North Carolina Departments of Agriculture the declines were $1.00 and $2.00 per hundred in most instances. Several increases mostly $1.00 were recorded. The gains were centered on lugs. A large number of grades remained unchanged. General quality of offerings was lowered because of more common and low leaf and nondescript. The percentage of leaf grades jumped sharply with a smaller ratio of lugs and primings. Principal mar ketings were low to fine lugs, low to good leaf, low and fair prim ings, low and fair cutters and non descript. Volume of sales the first part of the week ranged from heavy on a few markets to light on the majority. Deliveries increased con siderably towards the latter part until several markets were re ported blocked. Gross sales for the week totaled 35,877,013 pounds at an average of $53.14 per hundred. The average was 62c Under the week before. Season sales were raised to 70,114,589 pounds aver aging $53.81. Receipts of the Flue-Cured Stabilization Corporation under the Government loan program through Thursday were around 6 percent of gross sales. Season de liveries remained at approximate ly 6 percent of sales. GOOD PRICES ANTICIPATED FOR YAM CROP E. W. Fonvielle, president of the Tabor City Marketing Company, and other produce brokers in this area, said this week that the price for yams this year is expected to be high again and that there would be more potatoes for sale than in 1951. However, Mr. Fonvielle pointed out that there still was not a large number of yams planted this season and that the crop would not be too large although expected to be some larger than last season. Last year yams averaged $3.83 per bushel to the farmer on the Tabor City produce market but only 253,000 bushels were sold as compared with mor'e than a half million bushels the year before. Farmers, apparently anticipate ing a drop in price this season, did not raise their potato acreage very much this year and as a re sult production is not expected to reach the 1950 figure. However, there is every reason to believe at the moment that the price will be just as good as last year. The potato crop is not believed to be damaged extensively by the hot and dry weather and accord ing to most farmers who raise potatoes, a good yield will be made if rains continue for the next 30 days. The market here will open ahm it Ortnhpr 3.
