V-1
The Green Wave High
School football band will be
host to the Ahoskie football
band here on Friday evening:
i at a picnic supper and the two
j bands are to present a joint
show at the half-time period.
Charts and plans have been
exchanged between Director
Jack Bulter of the Williams
ton Band and Director Brown
of the Ahoskie group. All
band members are to take
part in the picnic whether
they are to be a part of the
show or not.
More details on the enter
tainment likely will be an
nounced before Thursday.
The local band will be under
a bigger handicap than the
visitors since their other scho
lastic work does not affect the
work in the band.
Edwards. Wallace Warren and
j Lindelle Ward one each.
The high score brought from the
Scotland Neck supporters a com
plaint that Williamston was de
liberately trying to run up the
score but the statistics do not sup
port this contention. Actually, if
the two pass interceptions, the
punt return and the sensational
run of Rogers are taken out of the
picture we find that the score on
tegular ground play'from scrim
mage amounts to just *21 points.
The longest and perhaps, the
linest play of the night was the
72 yard run by Russell Rogers as
he ran to the right, got nice block
ing for 15 or 20 yards, then ran
past three tacklers, side-stepped
one and ran between two more to
break inter the open and go all the
way. The punt return he made
for 50 yards and a TD was the
next longest dash while in third
place was the 41 yard jaunt Jack
Edwards made for a TD. Rogers
intercepted a pass and went all the
•#»>»• approximately 40 yards,

Peanut Meeting
In Scotland Neck
K Flake Shaw, North Carolina
Farm Bureau Executive Vic
President, nas announced that a
belt-wide meeting of Farm Bu
reau P> anut Committee members
and other producers will be held
at the Scotland Neck limb School
auditorium Wednesday, Novomh r
8 at 2:00 P. M. to give Tar Hi el
and Virginia growers an opp, r
trinity to study the overall pea
nut situation.
Congressman Harold IX Cool v,
House Agriculture Committee
Chairman, has informed Shaw he
will attend.
Shaw said the meeting was de
cided upon Friday, November ,'i
at a session of the NCFB Board
of Directors so that efforts might
| be directed toward an acceptable
! adjustment method on the supply
of Virginia-type peanuts, grown in
both states and now in short sup
ple. He added that the Board had
been requested by various county
Farm Bureau units to bring the
growers of both states together
for an airing of the problem.
The United States Department
jof Agriculture recently announced
a 1951 allotment of 188,541 acres
for peanut production ,by North
| Carolina farmers, or 87,251 acres
; less than the 1950 allotment, Shaw
| pointed out. This repre. cuts a re
duet ion ol about 10 pci cent, he
added.
Shaw said the NCFB has been
| working through the American
| Farm Bureau office in Washing
ton with Congressional Hepresen
| tatives and Senate! : f, r an allot
merit of peanuts by type; The res
jsoii behind the move, he said, l
that at present there is both short
age and surplus of peanuts
; shortage of the Virginia type and
i
a,surplus of the commercial type's.]
"Alt or Iasi month's meeting of!
the NCF1J Boaril," Shaw said, "we
notified the Department of Am
culture and all Congressmen re
dding in peanut areas of North
'arolina and Virginia that we be
:: -ved they should pax the pro
iucer the support price or better
I >r all peanuts produced on his
. crease allotment, so long as they
1 el not exceed his 194? harvested
rca i rather than have the pea
’its placed i i-.uer 1 s.n • t oil

Shaw said only certain areas of
ji th states produce edible Vir
j inia-type peanuts, and that the
■ Jible type brines a substantially
i gher price
