Farmers Urged to Use Care with Potato Crop Care in harvesting Irish pota toes will help Zebulon farmers put a better quality product on the market and receive higher returns for the local crop, says H. M. Cov ington, extension horticultural ex pert at State College. “Spotted bag” can be held to a minimum, says the specialist, by handling the potatoes carefully, putting them in sacks within 30 minutes after digging, and remov ing filled sacks from the field im mediately, especially during the heat of the day. Generally, dig ging should be done early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Farmers should remove all cut potatoes and those with bruises which penetrate deeply. All tubers with greening, growth cracks, and scab, and those that are badly misshapened or have other obvi ous defects should be removed from the No. 1 package.

START OF A MILLION DOLLAR PILE ' "ffft . ' ■ ''' *£%*** ' ■ , •' v,.' '' ... , '**■_' '' '''' : First coal for the vast stock to be built up at the new Goldsboro plant of Carolina Power & Light Company is shown being unloaded. Eventually this will grow into a store of 100,000 or more tons —about a million dollars worth. Because of the necessity for keeping coal always on hand for emergencies, the coal you see here will never be used. This coal, with much more, will be spread over several acres as a base for the coal to follow. The two 100,000 horsepower units will consume 1,100 tons of coal per day. U&sdIAPITAL REPORTER Hackney Brothers Body Build ing outfit of Wilson nicked for more than SB,OOO last year when they failed to live up to a state school bus delivery contract again has a contract to build school buses. This time it’s for 350 buses at $1,380 each some S2OO each higher than last year but the new contract is all in Hackney’s favor. Last year the buses were to have been delivered by September 1— they weren’t for a couple of months after that. But there was a clause that, if the buses were not delivered, the State could have another firm do them and charge Hackney Brothers for the freight and other expense inci dent to moving the chasis to the new body-builder. One hundred of the buses were taken from Hackney and given to another out SWORN IN Zebulon’s new mayor and commissioner, together with the four incumbent members of the town board who were reelected, were sworn in at a ceremony at the town of fice Monday night.

Carter of Zebu lon, has been returned to the Unit ed States and is now in the Army Hospital at Fort Bragg, where he is recuperating from severe wounds suffered in the Korean war. Sgt.

C., Tuesday, May 15, 1951 fit, costing the Wilson firm some S3O-odd for each bus. This year the Wilson company carefully omitted that clause from the contract, but promised to have all buses to the State by early September, “if possible.” Then they added: “If the con tract is not finished by January 1, we reserve the right to cancel.” In other words, Hackney Bro thers promised to build the buses if it had the time, but the State is without a means of enforcing the contract. Took Care of Larry That contract and a similar one with the Thomas Car Works of High Point for 600 buses at $1,386 each was okayed by the Advisory Budget Commission, which is the board of awards for bids. That Board is composed of Harry Caldwell of Greensboro (who was absent), Alonzo Ed wards, John Larkins, Jr., J.

Extension Expert Says Cotton Report Groups Save Members Money Tne farmer who knows the of- J ficial grades of his cotton is in the best bargaining position when the time comes to sell it, Grady Miller, Wake County agent for the State College Extension Ser vice, asserted this week in re minding growers that the federal cotton classing and market news services will be available again this year. Miller’s statement was coupled with a reminder that August 15 is the deadline date for cotton im provement groups to file applica nt on for the U. S. Department of Agriculture services. Under authority of the Smith- Doxey Act, cotton classing and market news services are free to the grower-members of any unit organized to promote the improve ment of cotton. Each Bale Sampled Under the program, Miller ex plained, cotton sampies are pulled from each bale, usually by gin ners cooperating with the various improvement groups, and sent to the nearest USDA classing office. As each sample is officially class ed, the classing office prepares and returns to the farmer a “green card” showing the official grade and staple length. Farmers who are not now mem bers of cotton improvement groups are urged to contact the county agent for information on groups already organized in the county, or for help in forming a new unit.
