Harrington Company’s Peanut Picker Popular With Farmers The only concern manufacturing peanut pickers and hay balers in Eastern North Carolina is the Har rington Manufacturing Company of Lewiston, which was founded in 1922 by the late J. L. Harrington, father of the present management and a pioneer in the peanut picker industry as well as an inventor of note. Since the beginning, their pro ducl has found instant favor with the peanut farmers, and their pick ers and balers are used extensively throughout the peanut belt of the United States. The present General Manager of this company is L. Gay Harrington who, at the age of 31, is one of the youngest executives of any such business in the country. He is as sisted by his brother, J. P. Harring ton who is sales manager, having charge of all sales, and his brother, J. C. Harrington, who is Superinten dent of the plant, and who has per sonal supervision of all machines manufactured. This rare combina tion has been the cause of the pro duct of this Company to be known wherever peanuts are grown. Their main plant is located in Lewiston, North Carolina, where a large force of local workmen is em ployed, and much of material which goes into the manufacture of their pickers and balers is obtained in this section of North Carolina. They recently built and are now operat ing an Iron Foundry for the manu facture of their own castings. This year they introduced a new line of plow castings which will be sold un The Best Cooks Are the Best Judges ot Flour and The Best Cooks Use LIGHT WHITE FLOUR H.E. Harrison Wholesale Co.

Ghesson farm, 100 acres cleared, two tobacco barns, three tenant houses and main dwelling, plenty of outbuildings. See J. R. Man ning, Plymouth, N. C. GREW FROM COLT TO CHAMPION WHILE THIS WHIS KEY MELLOWED IN OAKEN CASKS! 4 _______ Pt., No. 24 80c Qt„ No. 23 $1.50 Farm Notes By W. V. HAYS, County Agent Even though we have a short crop the Agricultural Adjustment Ad ninistration has made it possible for our cotton farmers to receive a fair price for this year’s cotton. Farm ers who cooperate are to receive 12c on cotton allotted to their farm. Growers should file in the County Agent’s office a receipt for cotton sold within 15 days of the date of sale. All farmers can file their sales certificates regardless of whether they will participate in the farm program or not. They will be paid the difference between the average spot cotton market and 12c per pound provided they comply with next year’s farm program. -« A peanut diversion program has been announced similar to that 2 years ago. This means that peanuts may be diverted to oil mills for this purpose and insure our growers a price of 3 1-3 cents per pound. This should assure better prices for good peanuts marketed from this year’s crop. A number of our growers have stakes set in the fields and are ready to begin harvesting next week. Most of our farmers have reported pros pects for a good crop. A number of people are probably wondering whether their farms are ever going to be measured because our compliance men have not visit ed their farms. We will measure up every farm in the county for which a work sheet has been signed as early as we can possibly do so. Farmers are advised to go ahead with regular farming operations, discing up tobacco stalks, etc., re gardless of whether the land has been measured or not. The boom around Plymouth is making it very hard to secure young men qualified to do this work. All producers of early Irish pota toes are permitted to vote for control of this crop. Next week we will hold a meeting at the Schoolhouse in Cherry, Monday night, September 27th at 8 o’clock. On the 28th a sim ilar meeting will be held at the Creswell Schoolhouse where this program will be explained. All po tato producers realize that for the past few years a good many pota toes have been produced. We now have the opportunity to produce less potatoes and receive the same or more money. In other words by working our potato crop in the Soil Conservation Program we will have some assurance of good prices or at least better prices for our crop of potatoes.

It QUESTION: Is it worth while for Camel to spend millions more for finer Tobaccos? I ANSWER: » Camels are the largest-selling cigarette in America! IT is homespun fact that noth ing man does to tobacco can take the place of what Nature does. People prefer Camels because Camels are made of FINER, MORE EXPENSIVE TOBACCOS—Turkish and Do mestic— into which Nature put extra goodness.
