Aerial Pictures
Taken Of Homes
. In This County
Public* Being Asked to Telp
Identify Fifty-Two
Aerial Photos
During the course of the coming
twelve months, this paper plans
to run about fifty aerial photos of
homes in Martin County. The pic<
tures were taken at random by
a "dare-devil” aerial photograph
9 er of the Zekan-Robbins Company
of Harlan, Iowa, and he picked
his own "shots”. The problem
now is to get the pictures identi
fied, and the owners of the prop
erties are being asked to drop a
card to this paper identifying the
pictures as they appear from
time to time.
The countryside in Martin
County has been mapped on the
surface and from the air. First
hand observations have been
made by travelers in their fast
moving vehicles. Now, this paper
is making it possible to get a
good look at the farm picture
from the air.
No assignments were made The
pilot and photographer flew into
the county one day and snapped
the pictures at random. In tak
ing the "mystery farm" pictures,
the company representatives flew
almost 300 miles back and forth
across the county, swooping
down every now and then to get
a close-up of. a farm property.
Just when the pictures were made
could not be learned, but it is be
lieved they were taken about
three weeks ago. Possible some
of the owners of the properties
photographed saw or heard the
company representatives flying
low about that time. The photo
graphers, it should be noted, are
not to be confused with the air
plane dusters who have been tak
ing the tops of tr.<;es off during
recent days.
® Original photographs of the
properties can be made available
to the property owners, and the
compuny has agreed to make pic
tures also of post card size.
The first in the series of farm
ir.« today. Help

follow is solicited by this paper.
Informers are asked to jot down
the name of the owners and loca
tion of the properties and mail the
card to this paper without delay.
The Zekan-Robbins company,
of Harlan, Iowa, is composed of
_ men who learned their trade in
® the U. S. Navy and Army during
World War II. Zekun and Robbins
psed cameras similar to the ones
they now use, when they were
flying from an aircraft carrier in
the Pacific.
Farming today is big business.

This is the first in a series of aerial photos made of Martin County homes under a special con
tract entered into by this paper and a company in Iowa. A photographer who had never set foot
in the county made the pictures, and they were taken at random. The property owners or those
acquainted with the properties pictured are asked to help identify the pictures by mailing in the
names and locations. The pictures were planned with the idea of giving the readers of this paper

Georgia Tobacco
Markets Weaker
—♦—
Average prices for Georgia
Florida flue-cured tobacco last
week showed a slightly lower
trend on grades sold in largest
volume. Also, quality did not hold
as good as the first two days of
the season. Sales were heavy al
though several markets through
out the belt cleared floors daily
reports the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
Gross sales for the week ending

for leaf grades as these increased
$1.00 to $5.00. Price variations in
most instances were only $1.00
and $2.00. More than 60 percent
of the grades brought $1.00 to;
$7.00 more per hundred than aver
ages set the second week last sea- \
son.
A larger percentage of low
quality tobacco was marketed
during the week. The ratio of
good lugs was smaller. Lugs and i
primings again predominated the
offerings.
Approximately 4 percent of
weekly gross sales was turned
over by growers to,the Stabiliza

Wheat Growers
Approve Control
By Thin Margin
-
Coin |>a ralivrly Small Vole
( a.'l In Referendum
Last Friday
Washington. — The nation’s
wheat growers have voted once
again to accept controls on their
next year's crop—but the margin
was the thinnest ever.
The outcome means that the
government will continue pay
ing high support prices for wheat
—somewhere between 75 and 90
per cent of parity. The rate is not
yet decided.
But it also means that, in Sec
retary of Agriculture Benson’s
own terms, controls on what the
farmer can plant in 1955 will be
the toughest ever.
Growers supporting controls
cast 73.3 per cent of the vote in
Friday's referendum, the Agri
culture Department calculated.
Since a favorable vote of 66.7
per cent was needed to continue
controls, the margin was thin in
deed—much slimmer than was
expected from advance indica
tions.
i.igni turnout
Some 267,000 farmers voted—
a light turnout. Nearly a million
were eligible by virtue of plant
ing more than 15 acres of wheat.
The I maI outcome was in doubt
for hours, until North Dakota
came in with a whopping majori
ty of "yes" votes—46,206 to 2,073.
Had controls been rejected, the
support price of wheat woud have
dropped to 50 per cent of parity—
the standard said by law to give
farmers a fair return for their
produce compared with their pro
duction costs. But farmers would
have been able to grow as much
wheat as they wished.
The "yes" vote means high
Supports but stricter-than-usuul
controls on what farmers can
plant.
The referendum was held un
der a law which provides for rig
id acreage controls whenever the
supply of wheat on hand is above
"normal.”
It was the smallest “yes" per
centage ever rolled up in a wheat
urogram referendum andcono
and Ml per cent lit 1941.
The unofficial totals—complete,
official figures won't be available
for three or four weeks- show
that 195,801 farmers voted for the
control program and 71,303
against. One year ago the vote
was 390,221 "yes" and 57,221 "no”.
Agriculture Department offi
cials had several explanations foi l
the light total vote and the in
crease in the "no” vote compared
with last year.
Marvin L. McLain, chief of the
department’s grain branch, said
i drop in vote was expected since
ast year's total was unusually
ligh. He said there probably also
vas a lack of interest because
"ongress and the administration
lave not yet settled on the sup
port level.
In addition, Mr. McLain said,]
iorae farmers may have thought
hey were voting only on wheth
:r to accept controls—not on
vhether to continue high sup
lorts.
It’s not known now at exactly
vhat level wheat supports will
>e pegged next year. The pres
•nt law would set this at 90 per
cut of parity. But Congress is
onsidering President Eiscnhow
r's recommendation ol a flexi
ile system ranging from 75 to 90
icr cent. The House has passed
scale sliding from 82 1-2 to 90
icr cent. The Senate hasn't acted
nit its Agricullture Committee
ecommcnds continuation at a
igid 90 per cent.

The 4-H Club is the uldest rural
organization in the nation and
North Carolina has the largest en
rollment of any state in the na
tion. This past week, July 19-23,
boys and girls from all over the
state met in Raleigh. N. C., at
State College for 4-H Club Week
—a week of fellowship, fun, and
education.
Martin County may be proud of
the part she played in 4-H Club
week. Although there were only
three 4-H girls representing the
county, each was striving to full
fill the 4-H club motto, “To make
the best better”.
Joan Carol Coltrain, eighteen
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Coltrain, of Farm Life
was one of the 27 4-H’ers in the
state to be tapped into the Honor
Club This is the highest honor
which a 4-H Club member can
attain. Joan Carol has been very
outstanding in 4-H Club work and
intends to continue in the 4-H
Club at Woman's College in
Greensboro where she has enroll
ed for the fall term.
Catherine Rogerson, 15 year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Noah
Rogerson of Bear Grass won fifth
place in the State Dress Revue
out of 9ti contestants. This is the
first year that she could enter the
Senior Division. Having woo
first place in the County Revu<
she was then eligible for th-i
State Revue.
Betsy Roebuck, fourteen yeaf
old granddaughter of Mrs. Arthur
Lilley, went to her first 4-H Club
week. She along with the other
two girls will tell you, "It was a
terrific cpi*rience!”
During the week there were
many demonstrations given by
district winners in competition for
the state winners. To name a few
of these demonstrations, there
were vegetable demonstrations
on production, marketing, and

Conservation, Dairy management,
Beekeeping, forestry, public
speaking and Tractor operating.
There was a talent contest fea
turing the talent of the state win
ners? On this program the boys
and girls saw other 4-H’ers doing
everything from a ventriloquist
act to acrobatics. There is quite
a bit of talent in the 4-H Clubs of
