Nov. 20: Annual Meeting of CADA, State College, Raleigh, A good number of people feel a "super-duper" garden cannot be grown in the late summer and fall but T. J. Harrington of the Vicksboro community has proven other wise. In one picture, Mr. Harrington is shown holding a handful of cucumbers and the other hand full of greens. In the other picture, you see a vine full of tomatoes and volumes of butterbeans and snapbeans in the background. We have had a rather ex tremely dry fall, so Mr. Har rington set up his irrigation system to furnish the needed water supply. By the way, Mr. Harrington was one 6F the unfortunate tobacco pro ducers in that community to have a complete loss of his croD by hail. I don't mean a 100 <7, loss by insurance standards, but a no-harvest loss?period. A good number of our Warren County citizens grow some fall vegetables on a hit and miss basis but Mr. Har rington has demonstrated fall vegetables can be easily grown every year if. irrigation is applied. People not fully occupied with non-vegetable crops could add thousands upon thousands of dollars to the family income and net worth by growing vegetables for the table and freezing, canning, ""drying and storing the sur plus. SWINE REFERENDUM In a refrendum October 1, Tar Heel swine producers voted in favor of a five cents assessment on each head of slaughter hogs sold with the money to be used in promot ing pork production, market ing and consumption. With ballots from 92 of the 100 counties counted, 3,989 voted in favor of the proposal and 1.363 voted against it. The two-thirds majority of those voting needed for ap proval was met. The program becomes ef fective January 1. Beginning with that date, packing plants, auction markets and buying stations will collect a nickel for each slaughter hog sold. The funds will be sent to the state commissioner of agricul ture to be turned over to the N. C. Swine Association. The board of directors of the association, made up of purebred and commercial pro ducers, will administer the fund. L. A. Fowler, refrendum chairman for Warren County, stated that even though the vote was light, swine produc ers in this county did vote in favor of this program. EXPERIMENTAL TOBACCO Among the many things seen and heard there whs one outstanding statement made at the Experimental tobacco display held in Durham last week in which Jack Hawks and the writer attended. In the display was the actual to bacco that had been cured using three methods. All the tobacco was pulled a little green, one-third .cured fast, one-third cured medium and one-third cured slow. Tobacco buyers indicated they preferr ed the medium cure best. It was pointed out that slick to bacco was the result of twp things: (1) pulling too early or (2) curing too fast It was further pointed out that to bacco must be cured at that speed which will set "the color desired. Book learning might help a tobacco curer but all indications point to the fact that some common sense and brains on the side sre neces sary ingredients. HIGH FUEL BILLS make you hit the ceiling?
