senator LeBlanc Says South
Has Great Industrial Future
Now is the Time to Start Getting
Somewhere, Says HADACOL Owne
Lafayette, La (Sp.)—Senator! I
Dudley J. LeBlanc. colorful owner I
of HADACOL, wants the South to] j
sell its advantages to ihe nation ?
just as he is selling IIADACOL
to the rest of tlie counti>
The Senator spoke to about £
5011.000 people on his recent half j
million dollar good-will tour of |
10 southern stale- His theme was |
the fallac y of the South producing j
raw products, shipping them j
north for processing and then J
paying freight to bring the fin
ished product back borne.
The Senator pulled bis band
kerchief out of Ins pocket waving
it to crowds that ranged from
25.000 to 00,000. “This handker
chief teas made from cotton
grown in the South. he said
"The cotton was shipped to
Massachusetts and made into this
finished product. Then we in the
Sou^h paid the freight oil it hack
hcfteie where- we grew the cotton.
“That mill in Massachusetts
furn^ahed employment to lolks up
there and paid lavs that created
schoo's and improved their econ
only. Why couldn't those northern J
folks move factories down here 1
and give employments to our
folks'' I tell you, they would if -
we sell them the wonderful ad
vantages of the South just as we
are selling llADACOL to the rest <
of the nation.”
Senator LeBlanc is spending a j
great deal of money on colored *.
sound pictures of the HADACOL "
Good Will Show to display the
advantages of southern industry, r
He plans to show these in thea- r
ters. He is also preparing an n
elaborate booklet to distribute l
throughout the north.
Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc
"I fed that when a firm has
become as large as HADACOL
that it owes it to its people to do
more Ilian sell just itself,” said
Senator LeBlanc.
Senator LeBlanc presented
Mickey Rooney, Burns and Allen,
Carmen Mi rand i, Con nee Boswell.
Roy Acuff, Krnest 'I'ubb. Minnie
Pp;ui, Sharkey and His Dixieland
Band, Frakson the Magician, and
Marie Germain LeBlanc.

rale of more than $2,000,000 per
month and the Senator is plan
ning to increase sales to $50,000,

Greene County Farm Bureau is
the first to report success in the i;
organization's current state-wide 11
membership campaign. ;<
Headed by Dr. J. H. Harper, | >
Snow Hill, president, the Greene 1 I
County group signed up some (
'2,400 FB members, 300 more than |
the county unit's minimum quota 11
and 100 more than its maximum j;
quota. The state-wide drive this I
year is for a minimum of 80.000 <
members; th maximum is 100,- 1
000. 1
Greene's report came at the 1

sided over by Dr. Harder. Speak !
.en- included; D. S. Weaver, Hal-1

ation president and NCFB Tobac-1
co Committee chairman.
E. B. Garrett. Raleigh, Director,
State Soil Conservation Service,
made bril l remarks NCFB ('resi
dent Edwards commended Ins
neighbors for their successful
membership drive and introduced
Weaver
Weaver urged his listeners to
maintain their tobacco and cotton
quota programs and, at the same
time, to take steps to supplement
income from these cash crops with
a sound livestock program.
For farmers to keep their right
ful place in our economy. Weaver'
said, is a challenge to every far
mer. He emphasized that farmers
must keep informed to help them
selves to slay in pace with changes |
in agriculture and our general
way of life brought about by
scientific advances of recent years.
Hicks summarized the tobacco
Stabilization program, lie stressed
the fact that the program has been
carried on since the Fall of 194(i
\ and that, while it has proved of
tremendous value to producers,
it has been operated without cost
to the government. ®
Increase Interest
In Pasture Lands
Indications arc that some 1,000 |
acres of permanent, improved ;
pasture will be seeded by Duplin I
County Negro farmers this fall,
says Riddick E. Wilkins. Negro
farm agent in Duplin for the State
College Extension Service.
Wilkins says almost every far
mer is putting in from half an
acre to 20 acres of pasture. The
large number of office callers re
questing help in soil sampling in
dicates that an unusually large
number wili be using improved
methods of seeding.
Although pastures are in spot
light, farmers also arc showing
a great deal of interest in corn
production It's not unusual, says
Wilkins, to hear this subject dis
eased on street corners, at com
munity stores, and anywhere else
farmers happen to meet.
First Negro farmer in the coun
ty to harvest a 100-bushel-per-acrc
corn yield this year was Aubrey
Murfree of Route 1, Warsaw, who
produced 100.f) bushels on an acre
of N. C. 27 hybrid.
