The houses, each a story and a
half, are on the corner of Syca

are being built by Clarence
Hinton and J. Strickland.
The Milton Strickland home
• tion, said Sunday.
“We expect the largest crowd
and the finest offerings of any
type conference this year,” the
Kenly man told the Record. “We
are sparing no expense to make
our showing a success.”
Catalogues for the show are in
production now, and are expect
ed to be completed by December
1. Chief exhibitors and sellers
are Kirby and P. M. Horton of
Zebulon, Route 4, vice president
of the North Carolina Poland
China Association.
“I have some mighty fine gilts
I intend to offer,” said Horton.
‘They will be bred to my boar,
whose sire was a champion and
whose grandsire was a grand
champion. Interested persons
can see the boar at my Sow Pal
ace at any time.”
Horton had the champion sow
at the North Carolina State Fair
this year, and Kirby exhibited
the champion boar. Other ex
hibitors at the Zebulon show will
come from Franklin, Harnett, and
Wilson Counties, and are expect
ed to bring only the finest gilts.
(Kirby is from Johnston County,
and Horton lives at Fall Branch
in Wake County.)

Farmers Must Place Fertilizer
Orders Early Says Wake Agent
317 Persons Aided
At State Fair Booth
Os Wake Red Cross
A total of 317 persons were giv
en first aid at the Red Cross
First Aid Station operated by the
Wake County Chapter of the Red
Cross during the State Fair, ac
cording to a final report made to
C. A. Dillon, chapter chairman.
At least three of the persons re
ceiving aid came from Zebulon.
The station was open 75 hours,
and 73 volunteer Red Cross work
ers participated in the project.
This number of volunteers in
cludes: physicians, nurses, nurses’
aides, trained first aid personnel,
staff assistants, Boy Scouts, and
motor corps.
In addition to the 317 men,
women, and children who receiv
ed first aid—all for minor inju
ries and ailments—2os others
were assisted in some way by the
Red Cross personnel on duty in
the station.
The report to Chairman Dillon
says, in part: “The First Aid
service rendered during the Fair
was in line with Red Cross policy
to provide first aid wherever
large crowds gather, and your ex
ecutive office cannot praise too
highly the efficient manner in
which every member of the volun
teer staff perform his or her du
ties. It was a very successful
project.”

Farm Bureau President Recommends
Care in Grading Tobacco for Market
When tobacco is brought from
the curing barn, special care
should be taken in cooping it in
the packhouse, says E. H. Moser,
president of the Zebulon Farm Bu
reau and president of the Wendell
Chamber of Commerce.
Answering the question that has
arisen in the minds of so many
toacco farmers during the recent
warm, damp weather period—
What can I do with toacco that is
too high in order—he offers the
following suggestions from Roy
Bennett, extension tobacco special

Crops Certain to Fall
Short of Actual Needs
To be more sure of getting fer
tilizer requirements for the 1948
crops, Tar Heel farmers should
place their orders early and ac
cept the fertilizer as soon as it
can be delivered, says Wake Coun
ty Agent J. L*. Reitzel.
Basing his statement upon in
formation received from the Plant
Food Institute of North Carolina
and Virginia Inc., he advises far
mers who have a dry place and
can store their fertilizer to place
their orders and begin to accept
delivery of it.
“Since such a large tonnage of
solid nitrogen is being -pent to
foreign countries, it is necessary
for farmers in this country to use
a larger per cent of liquid nitro
gen than normal,” said the ounty
Agent.
“Tank cars for shipping this ni
trogen is very scarce, and the nor
mal supply of tank cars is not
sufficient to ship this concentrat
ed form of nitrogen. Too, it has
to be used immediately upon de
livery by spraying the liquid into
superphosphate, which makes up
the base for mixing commercial
fertilizer.”
With the large demand for fer
tilizer in the West, and all over
the United States, it would be
most unfortunate for any of the
regular allocations of nitrogen for
this section to have to be divert
ed because of insufficient storage
space at the manufacturing plants,
Reitzel continued.
Since this particular area is so
deficient in producing the grain
requirements for the livestock,
farmers should do everything pos
sible to get the fertilizer needed
to produce the grains, hay, and
pasture needed for the limited
amount of livestock, he said.
Supper Saturday
At Pearce Church
There will be a supper at
Pearces Church, Saturday night,
Nov. 1, from 5 o’clock until 8
o’clock. The proceeds will go to
the Class Room Building Fund.
The menu consists of pig bar
becue, chicken barbecue, slaw, po
tato chips, pie and coffee.
The plates will be children 35c,
adults 75c.
Hostesses: Mrs. Nathaniel Up
church, Mrs. Ivan Pearce, Mrs.
Pettigrew Pearce, Mrs. Plybum
Pearce and Mrs. Clifton Perry.
ist at State College.
Should tobacco become too high
in order in the pack or in handling
the sorting and typing operation,
it should be dried out before be
ing packed down or marketed.
This may be done by placing it
back into the curing barn and fir
ing the barn at low temperature,
about 100 degrees F. High tem
peratures in drying tobacco that
has already been cured will usu
ally darken the color and the fire
hazard wi 1 be increased drasti
cally.
