Tobacco Situation
Discussed At Farm
School Last Week
■Scientist Offers Timely
Suggestions for Crowing
Finer Tobaccos
By D. W. Brady
Assistant Farm Agent
S. N. Hawks, Tobacco Extension
Specialist from State College, dis
cussed the tobacco situation at the
Farmers' School in the Courthouse
in Williamston. Mr. Hawks said
this year we will stress quality
rather than yield. He pointed out
that most farmers had a pretty
good yield and more attention
must be stressed on the quality
of our tobacco. He said in order
to keep />ur foreign tobacco trade
we must keep a good quality and
continue to improve it. Mr. Hawks
stated that most phases of tobacco
production in as much as quality
is concerned can be controlled by
the farmer. In setting tobacco in
the field the plants should not be
put in the fertilizer band but
should be set in between two
bands of fertilizer. If this cannot
be done the next bo“t thing to do
is to mix the fertilizer in the row
with a plow.
Tobacco should be harvested
when it is ripe and only then,
otherwise some will be cured
green and other cured brown or
spunged.. Lemon color is the color
that is bringing the highest dollar
so we should strive for this color,
Mr. Hawks stated.
If there is no disease involved
and one can choose his own va
riety 402 and Bottom’s Special
have been leading in dollars per
acre, 402 having a slight edge on
the latter. Less suckers from these
varieties according to experiments
have been found.^
A great many farmers are hav
ing difficulty with diseases. Cn
light soil without much rotation
Oxford No. 1 is good for black
shank. Vesta 33 is very resistant
to black shank. Vesta 44 or 47 do
well on heavier soils. Vesta 30 or
33 stands up well against the dis
ease. Black shank is a soil-born
disease carried by many means..
Be careful^where you get water
may have come from a diseased
field. When Granville Wilt ap
pears, Oxford 26 is resistant to this
disease, it this "variety is handled
properly, the quality is good.

Painfully Hurt In
Bad Car Accident
Saturday Evening
New Model Car Reduced To
Scrap Fit For The
Junk Yard
-•
Two persons were hurt, one of
them painfully, in a bad automo
bile wreck a short distance east of
Gardnerls Creek on Highway 64
Saturday a. evening about 10:00
o'clock, ffhe accident was onp of
two reported on the highways in
this county over the week-end,
the other, involving a truck and
school bus near Butler’s Bridge on
Highway 125, having been a minor
one in which no one was hurt and
! property damage was limited.
In the accident near Gardner’s
Creek, Miss Hattie Moore, local
young girl, suffered a broken col
lar bone, cuts about the face and
bruises and shock. Another pas
senger in the 1949 model Hudson,
owned and driven by Allen Van
Landingham, Sylvester White,
suffered a back injury, but he was
able to continue to his home near
Williamston. VanLandingham ap
parently was not hurt.
Driving east on the highway
apparently at a fast speed, Van
Landingham was said to have
turned his car sharply to the right
to avoid hitting just a common
ordinary hound dog and lost con
trol of the machine. Reports stat
ed that the car traveled 309 feet
after leaving the hard-surface,
that it rolled over possibly five
times, jumped a four-foot fence,
landing sixteen feet away on its
nose and coming to a stop with its
wheels in the air.
The driver was thrown out be
fore the car jumped the fence.
White was lost when the machine
was sailing through the air. Miss
Moore fell out apparently just be
fore the car made its last somer
sault, Patrolman E. P. Simmons,
making the investigation, stating
that she was found lying beside
the overturned machine.
Treated in the local hospital
Miss Moore was quoted as saying
the car was running between 6C
and 65 miles an hour.
The top of the car was smashed
down to the seat tops, Patrolman
Simmons stating that the damage
would possibly run around $1,50C
or $2,000.
Last Friday morning about 8:0(1
o'clock, Miss Dorothy Gurganus,
was driving a school bus to Ham
j ilton when a G and H log truck
crashed into the rear of the bus,
injuring no one and causing about
$25 damage to the truck and very
I little to the bus, according to Pa
trolman N. P. Narron who made
the investigation.
The patrolman said the school
j bus driver stopped the machine
' before entering Highway 125 from
a dirt road near Butler’s Bridge,
that she saw nothing in sight and
turned toward Hamilton. About
that time the truck rounded the
blind curve and bumped into the
bus. No charges were preferred
against anyone, Patrolman Narron
, said, explaining that there was no
apparent negligence on the part of
anyone, that it was a dangerous
blind spot in the road system.

Opposes Further
Increase In The
1949 Leaf Acreage
Fairly Ortaiu Now Thai tin*
Tobacco Acreage Will Be
Helil To 5 Percent
Fred S Royster, Henderson
President of the Bright Belt Ware
house Association, declared that
at a recent Washington conference
of flue-cured tobacco interests
Thursday, February 24, he
“Strongly opposed any further in
crease in the 15)49 acreage quotas
because there is no basis in fact
for any such increase.”
Royster said the conference was
called by the Tobacco Branch of
the United States Department of
Agriculture to examine the pres
ent situation and decide whether
there should be an increase in
quotas above the 5 percent in
crease already announced. At
tending the conference were mem
bers of the Production and Mar
keting Administration state com
mittees from North Carolina, Vir
ginia, South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, the flue-cured states, and
representatives of farm organiza
tions and the Loose Leaf Tobacco
Exporters Association.
In making known his strong op
position to an additional quota in
crease for 1949, Royster issued the
following statement:
“The 1946 flue-cured tobacco
crop totaled 1,352,000,000 pounds,
so the recommendation was made
that the 1947 quotas be reduced
by 15 percent. The Department
of Agriculture, however, insisted
that 15 percent was too much of a
reduction and so the quotas were
reduced only 2.3 percent."
“As a result, the 1947 crop total
ed 1.317,000,000 pounds and at the
end of the 1947 marketing season
stocks taken under loan by the
Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative
SL.’ dization Corporation amount
ed to 2. 2 000,000 pounds. At the
same time, the 1947 c rop prices av
eraged lightly below parity.”
“Realizing the position we were
in, we insisted that the 1940 crop
be reduced 27-52 percent. As a re
sult of this reduction growers re
ceived practically the same gross
return ‘as they did tor tile 1947
time the decrease

was being con
"The 1948 crop totaled 1,090,
000,000 pounds and the July 1,
1948, carry-over was 1,5150,000,000
pounds. This was the largest car
ry-over on record except for that
of July 1, 1940—when the flue
cured grower was not even receiv
ing a living price for his tobacco.”

RAINFALL
---
January and February of
this year were not dry months
by any means, but hardly half
as much rain fell as was re
corded in the first two months
of 1948, according to Hugh
Spruill, bridgekecpcr on
Roanoke River here. He stat
ed that 3.G5 inches of rain fell
last month, pushing the total
for the two months to 5.31
inches compared with 9.86
indies recorded in the corre
sponding months of 1948.
Mention April 2
As Quitting Date
For Legislature
Now Predicted People Will
Have Chance To Vote On
Road and School Ronds
According to the Raleigh
"Round Up", North Carolina’s
legislators, their pay running
short rapidly, /re expected to quit:
Raleigh on or about April 2.
The Round-Up goes on to say:
The revised Revenue Bill has I
I been adopted. The Appropria
tions bill should be ratified by the
latter part of next week.
Despite all the talk about new
taxes, little, if anything, of con
crete nature has been done about
them.
State employees' and teachers’
salaries will be raised about 20
percent, effective as of last Oc
tober 1. The $30,000,000 "hard
times” fund which was set up by
Broughton at $20,000,000 and fol
lowed by Cherry with $10,000,000,
will likely be spent within the
next 20 months to meet greatly
enlarged appropriations. We are
dragging bottom.
Remember this: The income the
State expects to get within the
next two years has been set so
high that any appreciable drop in
it will necessitate one of two
things: a decrease in salaries for
teachers and State employees or a
special session of the Legislature
to increase taxes.
Governor Scott is going to get
those bond issues for roads and
I schools before the people. Before
| adjourning, the Legislature is ex
I pected to clear the way for the
j people to decide, themselves,
whether they want to spend an;
extra $200,000,000 for roads and
$50,000,000 for school buildings.
The governor has said all along
the people want them; and he will
wage a vigorous campaign for
their adoption. If he can get these
two projects across, his adminis
tration will likely be recorded as
a success.
While adjournment talk is be
ing heard, nothing has been done
to make it possible to move the
State’s mentally ill from the com
mon jails to a place where ade
quate and proper treatment may
be had.
A revenue bill, calling for $130,
406,500 for the first and $128,584,- j
500 for the second year of the com- I
ing biennium, was passed last
night without a dissenting vote.

tor Pastures Willi Farm
ers Last Wednesday
—<$.—
By I). W. Brady
Assistant Farm Agent
Sum Dobson led the discussion
on pastures at the Farmers’ School
in the Courthouse Wednesday af
ternoon. Mr Dobson stated that
in the last few years much had
been learned about the pasture
program. He stated that about
three years ago when he joined
the College Extension Service
very little was said about Ladino
Clover, the new and wondrous le
gume. However, he said, it is now
the main talk of the farmers who
have tried it. He showed a picture
of an old carpet grass pasture that
was once recommended. One half
of this carpet grass pasture had
been renovated and Ladino Clov
er had been added. The results
were that twice the amount of
milk was produced the first year
on the renovated part where La
dino Clover had been added. The
second year showed an increase of
three times the milk that was pro
duced on the old pasture. Mr.
Dobson stated that dairy farmers
over the state stated that there is
something about Ladino Clover
that produces more milk than any
other feed they have ever used.
It was pointed out that this section
is well adapted to its growth, that
farther south, it has the tendency
to go out in the summer time and
farther north it has the tendency
to freeze out in the winter. From
20 to 30 percent protein may be
had by grazing Lad Ini»t
Mr. Dobson stated that we used

Recognizing the need for a
greater /crop' diversification in
Martin County, merchants and
other businessmen last week took
definite steps to promote an ex
panded acreage and better quality
sweet potatoes. Willing to dig
into their pockets to help advance
the sweet potato program, the
business leaders in cooperation
with the Farm Bureau Sweet Po
tato Committee members, are
looking to 4-H club members and
Future Farmers of America to
help lay a solid foundation for the
sweet potato business in Martin
County.
Definite rules and regulations
i have not been announced, but it
I was officially learned that free
' trips to New York are to be made
available to the five tup winners
j and that other valuable prizes will
be awarded. The trip will include
visits to places of interest in
Washington City and Philadel
phia and an extended tour of New
York City. "We plan to show the
boys the works in New York, in
cluding visits to the Statue of Lib
erty, Empire State building, the
ocean liners, Radio City and the
sights on Broadway,” M. M. Lev
in, a member of the committee
working with Assistant Farm
Agent J. W. Sumner in formulat
ing plans for the contest, said this
week.
The contest, designed to stress
quantity and quality along with
methods and costs, will be limited
, to members of 4-11 and Future
f Farmers of America clubs in Mar
tin County.
Those interested in entering the
contest are directed to contact
Agent J. W. Sumner as early as
possible but not later than April
15.
Commenting on tne contest, Mr.
Levin said that business men and
others had already pledged sever
al hundred dollars to finance the
New York trips and special
awards.
"We are going forward with
plans to have a market ready for
j operation in the county next fall,
and present indications point to a
greatly expanded sweet potato
acreage this year," Levin said.
It is estimated that more than
1.000 bushels of the best seed have
l been purchased by county /arm
I ers so far, and farmers seem to be
greatly interested in the program.
A few plan to enter the program
on a fairly large scale, but most
farmers plan to start out on a
