F:M AND HOME. WEEK
TC3TPONED UNTIL 1949
Farm and Home Week, annual
State-wide gathering" of , farmers
and farm women which had been
scheduled on the State College
campus from . August 30 to Sep
tember 3, will not be held in 1948,
it has been announced by Dr. I.' O.
Schaub, director of the North Car
olina Extension Service. ". '
Decisioij to postpone the event
until the summer of 1919 was
made in Raleigh recently after a
conference of. of ficers of the State
Farmers Convention and the North
Carolina Federation of Home Dem
onstration Clubs with Dr. A. C.
Bulla, Wake' County health, officer,
and other College and farm lead
ers. " ' "' , -
- Director SChaub expressed regret
that the College could not have
the farmers and their wivetfv as
guests this . summer. "We " feel,
howev'er'iiiat the decision to post
pone Farm and Home Week is
advisable under the circumstan
ces," he said. "We could not ask
the people of ithf. State to take
any health risk by attending so
large a gathering." , .
- It - was also 'decided to cancel
plans for the older youth .gather
ing which had been suggested as
a substitute for the annual 4-H
Club Week. The 4-H . program,
scheduled for the weelr'df August
23, had previously been cancelled
because of the .prevalence of polio
in the State. . ' ' l.
. The College had made plans to
entertain 5,000 or more farm men
and women and had prepared one
of the; best programs in the re-'
cent history of Farm and Home
Week. More than $6,000 worth of
farm machinery, equipment, and
other gifts had been secured for
use as prizes.
Colonel J. W. Harrelson, State
College chancellor, said that plans
would be started immediately for
a larger and better . Farm and
Home Week in 1949.

Tobaco prices set an all-time
high on North and South Carolina
Border markets as the 1948 sales
season got .underway; with an op
ening day average of 56.09 per
hundred. This was 3.61 above the
previous ajl-time high established
in 1946 and 7.21 above last year's
opening day's average. Prices for
good" quality tobacco continued to
advance ;durine the second and
third sales days. The trend at the
close of the week was lower, how
ever, with most of the " grades
showing 1.00 to 4.040 breaks when
compared with : Thursday. -
The volume of . tobaeco offered
opening day was heavy with .just
over 8 1-2 million pounds, while
the- -quality . was better - than the
tradeexpected. Fair to fine lups
and fair cutters made up the bulk
of the offerings. -
Thfinarkets closed the i week
Fjriday with lugs ranging mostly
from 40.00 to 64.00; cutters, from
mqstly 61.00 to 600;' primings,
from mostly 25.0QV to 56.00;' and
the best thin nondescript, at 15.50.

first three days of the week totaled
approximately 22' million pounds
at an. axerage of 65.12 per hund

. .Cotton prices continued to move
steadily downward in the ten spot
markets during' the week. Spot
market sales increased in volume
under fairly active inquiry. The
trade, ' however, was apparently
waiting for the first official -crop
report, which, will be issued on
Monday, August 9. The V. S. De
partment of Agriculture announced
the 1948 cotton loan program. The
powder you have on hand is still
fresh, it . may be tested in this
way: If. the mixture bubbles en
ergetically, the baking powder is
still active and can be used safely.
If the bubbling is very slight, or
it does not bubble at ail, the bak
ing powder has lost its strength
and should be thrown away.

Heavy marketings pf new crop
.
grain, alon with favorable crop
prospects for corn, were the pri
mary factors in causing grain to
continue downward. Prices for
wheat, oats, and grain sorghums
dropped below loan levels early in
the week; j However, " the market
was more stable toward the close.
Iarge quantities of tyheat were
placed, in storage under the loan
program. Wheat - prices have de
clined about 1.00 per bushel from
the' November peak. Corn is down
also nearly 1.00 per bushel from
the high level established in Jan

Egg prices moved up from' -one
