Bureau Reports Resujts Tobacco Shrinkage study Tobacco, from the time it leaves the hands of the growers until it is placed in process of manufacture, may lose as much as 45 per cent in weight from shrinkage and other causes. Losses vary with the different types of tobacco, ranging from 31 per cent on flue cured, which is used chiefly in the manufacture of cigarettes, to as much as 43.5 per cent on some cigar filler types, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics has learned in a four-years’ study of tobacco shrinkage and weight losses. The factors of loss enumerated by the Bureau are (1) losses of particles of dirt and tobacco in cleaning and packing, (2) reduc-; tion in moisture content and chemi cal changes during fermentation, and t 3) losses due to the removal of stems or midribs of the leaves, i AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION— The easiest and surest way to enjoy the distinction of living to a ripe old age is to properly care for that God-given mechanism— your body. There are no spare parts for sale at bargain counters. When one of your vital organs fails pre maturely, through neglect or hard ■ use, you’re finished. With the bless ings of modern medical science that now exist, there is little ex cuse for this happening. Recently a life insurance com pany, in its advertising, stressed the importance of taking the tuber culin test. This little test adequate ly proves the soundness of the old adage that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” You should make it your business to investigate the tuberculin test and protect yourself and your children with it. FORD USED CAR SALE Ford dealers throughout the U. JS: during September will cooperate with the Ford Motor Company in a second annual nation wide used car and truck clearance sale, mark ing a new trend in automotive mer chandising, it was announced to day. The sale will continue throughout the month, with over 100,000 used car and truck sales as the goal. The clearance was inaugurated last year and achieved signal suc cess. Renewed and guaranteed used cars wdll figure prominently in the national sale, it was explained. Ford dealers displaying the R & G emblem renew used cars in accord ance with rigid specifications laid down by the factory and issue a written, money-back guarantee to the buyer. In preparation for the approaching clearance, dealers have extended their participation in the R & G procedure. EUROPEAN WAR SCARE Europe is disturbed by the pos sibility of a general war as Mr. Hitler reveals that Italy, Germany and Japan have an understanding which binds them together, Eng land and France having adhered to an agreement of some sort, with Russia more or less alone on ac count of her insistence on coramun nism, which is looked at askance in most other quarters. The war scare is reflected in the United States by a decline in stocks, something which an expert along that line expects and often is able to turn to his own advantage. The pure investor, however, or the man who is trying to build up an income is left wondering whether the person not conversant with the market game had better depend on stock, or on the old fashioned sock which after all has survived many a crash that has put the Wall streeters out of business. A dollar in hand, like the proverbial bird, is worth two in the bush. THE 70 CAR LIMIT Among the endless series of as saults committed by labor union leaders on agriculture, the federal law' limiting the length of all freight trains to 70 cars is notable. It is not law as yet, to be sure, for the House of Representatives adjourned without acting on the bill which the Senate had passed off-hand. But when Congress next ’ convenes the railroad unions will no doubt turn on the heat, and it is , doubtful whether the combined ef forts of farmers, shippers, con-i sumers, railroad stockholders and railroad managements can keep it from going through. The argument that a freight train longer than 70 cars is unsafe is simply not true. On some lines in some country even 70 cars are too many. On most Class A rail- ! roads the records show that much longer trains are hauled regularly and safely. The real purpose of such a law, as anyone w'ho has watched the i railroad unions for the last forty J years will know without telling, is j to force the railroads to employ | surplus men. They look backward to the happy days of 1920, when WILLIAM G. McADOO turned jback to the roads private manage ■ ment 50 per cent over-manned, run down, the men overpaid and work ing only when they felt like it, with a system of working rules that has hampered efficiency and raised icosts ever since. The railroads declare—and they are usually correct with figures— that the additional costs of operat ing 70-car trains would be SIOO,- 000,000 a year. All of that would have to be added to freight rates, and much of it paid by farmers. The railroad unions, however, care nothing about costs, and very ; little about freight rates. They (expect farmers and other big ship pers to pay any rates demanded of them, and like it. If farmers insist jon not liking it, and even oppose I the 70-car limit, what is that to the leaders of the unions ? They need the extra' members and the increas |ed dues.—Farm Journal Editorial.

Wilson Tobacco Prices Skyward By Geo. L. Wainwright. The Wilson tobacco market turned its prices skyward last week and held all grades to levels not ex ceeded in many years, as the con cluding days of operations marked an average of $24.73. Thousands of tobacco farmers last week from all eastern coun ties saw their product wend its way to new heights, as the five sets of buyers seemed to freely slash their pocket books and let fly a gilded stream and steady flow of the “where with” that all farmers re ceived from displaying their leaf before the strongest competitive force in the w’orld. Tobacco slid up to $75.00 per hundred. Both local and far distant cus tomers of Wilson’s market last week made high individual averag es for their leaf, and homeward bound each day carried the glad tidings of the high prices in Wil son. The good news has been de livered to every tobacco growing corner. The Wilson market is now top ping the list and is seeking still greater honors, as the 1937 season progresses. Everything is work ing in a most harmonious manner and warehousemen, buyers, and farmers are pulling one for all, and all for one. There were no block sales in Wilson over the week end and this week’s sales are coming up to all expectations for the high dollar. | RED WELLS J. B. Murray of the Mt.

No Cause for Alarm “There is no cause for alarm over the number of escapees from prisons and prison camps of North Carolina,” says Wm, Curtis Ezell, Director of the Division of Institu tions and Corrections of the State Board of Charities and Public Wel fare. “I have just examined the rec ords for the period during which the State Highway and Public Works Commission has had the re sponsibility. During the four years, July 1, 1933, to July 1, 1937, the prison division handled a total of 83,745 prisoners (except for reci divists). During this whole four years a total of 2,630 prisoners have escaped, or 3.14 per cent. “However, when we look at the recaptures we find that 2,340 of them have been recautpred. Thus, there were at large on June 30, 1937, 290 men who had escaped in the four years, and in the hand ling of nearly 84,000 prisoners. That Cotton Mather was a pion eer in corn breeding.
