Negro Farmers To
Tour Oxford Farm

Through the cooperation of the
North Carolina Extension Service,
Dr. R. R, Bennett. Tobacco Spec
ialist. and the Oxford Tobacco Ex
periment station, a tour has been
arranged for Martin County Ne
gro farmers to observe the experi
ments being conducted with flue
cured tobacco, Thursday, August
7th. 9:30 A. M. to noon.
Farmers making the trip will be
able to observe different varieties
of tobacco grown, cultural meth
ods used, fertilization, curing and
disease control.
Farmers interested in going
should contact R. M. Edwards,
Negro County Agent, Williams
ton. R. A. Broadnax, vocational
agricultural teacher. Williamston,
or Mr. A. B. Wynne, vocational
Agricultural teacher, Parmele.
A bus will leave Williamston
for the tour Thursday, August 7th,
at 6:00 a. m.
SOME JOB
r
If one man harvested, cur
ed, and sold North Carolina's
821,000 acres of flue-cured
and hurley tobacco which will
be produced this year he
would be employed for more
than ten thousand years.
This may sound like a
startling figure, but according
to II. Brooks James in charge
of Extension Farm Manage
ment at State College, it is es
timated that the labor requir
ed for harvesting and selling
‘ the crop amounts to over 21
million hours. Figured at 40
cents an hour, this labor
would be valued at approxi
mately eight and one-half
million dollars, he said.

At the meeting last night the
board heard a request from prop
>rty owners represented by Tom
Skinner and Urbin Rogers fcr the
opening of an alley between
the Roanoke-Dixie and Planters
warehouses.
Residents on Faulk Street a
makeshift thoroughfare to the
Odd Fellows Cemetery, asked
that the street be improved.
Recognizing a similar request
some time ago, the authorities in
vestigate d and learned (hit the
town had no claim to the street,
that the Virginia Electric and
Power Company had a right-of
way where Faulk Street is sup
posed to be, and that the proper
ty owners had built almost to the
edge of the right-of-way. An ap
peal is to be directed to the | rop

the fire-fighting apparatus and
volunteer firemen, police and
other officials, and to prohibit
parking within a block of a fire.
Ordinances are to be prepared and
submitted to thp board for final
approval.
Requests for a water line on
Perry Street, near Sunny Side
inn, and water on Edgewood
Avenue, near the fairgrounds,

A new method of harvesting
, peanuts and hay is being propos
ed by experimenters who have
made practical tests down in
1 CJeoi gia and found them satisfac
tory, according to Paul J. Mitch
ell, Jr,, director of the National
Peanut Council’s office of re
1 search and development. The
new plan eliminates just about all
hand labor, including shaking and
stacking, and according to Mitch
ell, enhances the value of both
the hay and peanuts.
Mitchell’s announcement of the
results of the experiments con
ducted at the Georgia Experiment
Station follows:
"Peanut hay is removed from
the ground by cutting and rawing
with conventional hay mowers
and rakes. Hay thus obtained is
over twice as heavy in weight and
protein content as hay obtained
by stacking 01 windrowing pea
nuts.
“After the hay is removed, the
stubble with nuts attached is dug
with a plow peanut digger. After
the nuts are loosened from the
soil, the stubble with nuts attach
ed is raked into piles with a hay
rake. This stubble is then de
posited on crude racks built one
| and one half to two feet above the
j ground. This stubble can be pil
ed four to five feet deep in these
| cribs. A covci is placed over the
racks to keep out rainfal1. Within
a ft w weeks the nuts are cured.
| and tiie quail!\ and yields are sup
ei ior to any obtained by any other
known methods of curing. Nuts
jcurod with the tops removed can
j be threshed twice as fa 1 as nuts
j cured with vines attached; also,
nuts tiius obtained are cleaner
[and more fit e from foreign mat
| ter.”
For practical t< Is of tip curing
j method in the fields of this area,
I the National Peanut Council with
headquarters at Atlanta, Ga , ad
eises that it will work closely with
any farmer who will harvest a
portion of his crop by this new
I method and furnish details of all
I procedures necessary.
