Ranger Reports 566,000
Baby Trees Are Planted
More than 566,000 forest
tree seedlings were sold in Moore
County during the last planting
season, the Moore County
Ranger’s Office reports. The
reforestation projects were
carried out on both abandoned
croplands and non-productive
woodlands in different parts of
the county.
The non-productive woodlands.
County Ranger Wicker ex
plained, were areas on which
past harvest operations had
removed the most desirable
trees and left cull trees and trees
of inferior species to occiq)y the
site. These “weed trees” prevent
the establishment of straight,
healthy young trees.
Such areas had to be “site
prepared,” Wicker said,
meaning the areas were
prepared for planting by
removing the weed trees. (Using
bulldozers especially equipped
for forestation work, the weed
trees were pushed into small
windrows.) OR (In areas too
steep for mechanical site
preparation, large trees which
had to be removed were injected
with a special chemical causing

THEY WORK — Anyone who isn’t a firm believer in seat belts should ask Curtis
Mabry of Durham what he thinks of them. He was the driver of this car which
overturned Thursday morning after trying to avoid a collision with another car on
US 1 near the Holiday Inn. Although his wife was slightly injured in the accident,
both were wearing seat belts. Aberdeen Rescue Squad personnel on the scene
credited the seat belts with preventing serious injuries in the mishap.
THE HAPPY FARMER” — Robert Bowman of
near West End may not be the fellow the tune ‘‘The
Happy Farmer” was written about, but he was
pleased with the $87.00 a hundred his 3,000 pounds of
tobacco brought on opening day Monday. He’s hoping
the price will go up before he brings the rest of his
tobacco to market, but describes the price he got on
the first lot as ‘‘real good.”

Middle Belt tobacco markets
opened Monday in Aberdeen and
Carthage, with average opening
day prices running at a record
high from nine to ten dollars a
hundred above last year’s
opening figures.
The three warehouses in
Carthage, Farmer’s, McConnell
and Victory, reported sales of
295,509 pounds of tobacco for
$258,539.44, an average of $87.09 a
hundred.
The two warehouses in
Aberdeen conducting sales.
Planters and Hardee’s, reported
sales of 274,590 pounds of leaf for
$237,962.12, an average of $86.66
per hundred.
On opening day last year, the
Aberdeen markets averaged
$76.44 a hundred and the Car
thage warehouses reported an
average of $77.77 a hundred.
Farmers selling at the
warehouses or just watching the
auction sales appeared generally
pleased at the opening prices, but
don’t expect their net profits to
be much higher even though
prices are up almost ten dollars a
hundred over last year.
