Every such loss burns a little | larger hole in the pocket of every citizen as that much of our coun ty’s wealth is gone and can never benefit anyone,” the former Zeb ulon resident continued. “Wood-using and wood-proces sing industries have large invest ments in our county. They, in ad dition to the timberland owners, pay a lot of taxes to support our schools, build roads, support our government, and provide jobs for a lot of people. Their ability to continue this contribution to our economic welfare is dependent up on a continuous supply of forest resources. Lets not permit forest fires to curtail it. Lets Keep Wake County Green,’’ Mr. Bunn conclud ed. Week of Prayer Is Observed by W.M.U.

Davis Sons, Publishers Second Leaf Increase Meets Disfavor Here; Royster Hits New Plan Zebulon tobacco farmers were watching this week for an an nouncement concerning an in crease in tobacco acreage for 1949 above the 5 per cent announced last fall. Most local tobacco grow ers are opposed to any further in crease at this time. Fred Royster of Henderson, president of the Bright Leaf Warehouse Association, last week placed his organization on record as being against the increase. He cited the billion-pound crop of 1948 and the one and one-half billion pound carry-over, as of •July 1, 19488, as reasons for no increase this spring. Last year the acreage cut was 27.52 per cent, and the poundage drop was 16 per cent; farmers re i ceived approximately the same for the 1948 crop as they got for the 1947 crop. Much dissatisfaction was regis tered last year when the 5 per cent increase was announced, with most criticism being directed at the U. S. Department of Agriculture for poor timing of the announce ment; most farmers felt that re ! vealing the increase before the markets closed would force prices down, and subsequently tobacco prices did drop an average of 5 per cent. engineering with 565, civil en gineering with 470, general en gineering with 301, industrial engineering with 202, chemical engineering with 76, and geological engineering with 182. Included in the enrollment of the School of Engineering are Donald W. Alphin of Wendell, David R. Arnold, Jr., of Zebulon, William C. Coley, Jr., of Wendell, Ronald B. Greene of Zebulon, Rod erick W. Horton of Zebulon, Jack Potter of Zebulon, Horace B. Rich ardson of Wendell, and Warren G. Tyson, Jr., of Wendell.
