ISSUES WARNING
AGAINST ILLEGAL
CORN DEALINGS
Raleigh, February 16?A warn
ing against the use of illegal mea
sures in the purchase and sale of
corn has been issued by C. D.
Baucom, superintendent of th?
Weights and Measures Division of
the State Department of Agricul
ture.
Under North Carolina law, Bau
com said, corn may be legally
bought and sold only on the basis
of the bushel measure when shel
led. He also said the law stipulates
that a bushel of shelled corn shall
weigh 56 pounds.
Some corn buyer> have been re
ported as making offer- for un
snucked corn on the basis that 81

rounds is equivalent to a bushel of
Celled grain. Sales on such a basis
usually mean a loss to the farmer,
Baucom said, as almost any k.nd of
corn will shell out more that a bu
shel of grain from 81 pounds in
;he shuck.
"It is unlawful," he continued,
! "to buy corn by the stand, basket,
barrel, tub or hamper. Any person
who buys corn by a measure which
Lshells out more than the quantity
I represented by said measure is
[ guilty of a misdemeanor, punish
i v.ble by fine or imprisonment or
iboth.
j "Unfortunately the victims of il
j '.rgal com deals usually are tenant
larmers. who can least afford a
j 11 ?ss cf their product. But 4he mat
ter goes even further, f -r when a
tenant sells corn on a sh >rt-mea
.-ure basis, it may mean tr.e land
lord a'so will take a lo-s on the
portion of tne crop to wiiich he is
ent.tlefi. The fair and leyal basi*

pound-. Wnen un.-hucked or on
the cob, corn should be sold by

much the swelled grain will mea
uie."

Feb. 28 Dead Line For
Filing Farm Reports
Mr. D. C. Higd on, chairman of the
Jackson county committee, states
that an extension of time for the
filing of Performance Reports un
der the Agricultural Conservation
Program has been received. In
stead of February 15 as a closing
date, farmers in the county now
have until February 28 in which
to file a report on the practices
carried out last year. Only about
50 percent of the farmers in the
county have Tiled Performance Re
ports to date, whereas Mr. Higdon
states that probably 2000 farmers
have participated in the 1947 Pro
gram either by carrying out some
of the practices or through the use
of conservation materials. This
extension of time will give these
farmers a chance to come to trie
county office and complete their
report on 1947 practices.
Elon Takes Two
From Catamounts
Elon's Christians won two vital
North State conference games from
Tuck McConnell's Western Caro
lina Catamounts last Friday and
Saturday nights at Burlington, Fri
day by a 44-42 score in a game
that went into an extra period and
Saturday by a 46-37 count.
In the rist game the Catamounts
held a 21-17 lead at halftime and
led on up until there was eight
seconds to go when Elon's Smith
hit a field goal that tied the game
at 38-38. In the over time period
the Christians managed to think
three goals to the Catamounts two
for a two-point victory.
In the second game the Chris
tians were ahead at halftime 21-17
and sparked by Ganes with 20
points came out on the long end
of a 46-37 score.
Bob McGinn was high for the
Catamounts for both nights with
13 the first and 15 second.

BRIEFS?IN DETAIL
By Bobby Terrell
The Catamounts of Western Car
olina round out their basketball
schedule Monday night when they
take on the Maryville College
Scotties at Cullowhee. The Cats
have enjoyed a successful season
this year under the tutorship of
their new coach, Tuck McConnell.
They started off with six straight
wins before Maryville broke their
string at Maryville with a 44-39
defeat. The Catamounts will be
out to win this game for revenge
and also t oclose out their season
with victory.
After the Maryville game the
only other game the Cats will play
will be in the North State confer
ence tournament at Elkin.
The Sylva Hurricanes came
through at Murphy and won the
class "A" tournament champion
ship. Everybody was glad to see
them do that because of the poor
football season they suffered this
year.
Oddities: In the two games be
tween the Cullowhee Catamounts
and the Elon Christians last week
both halftime scores were the same.
In the first game the Cats led at
the half by a 21-17 count, and in
the second game Elon was out
front at the intermission by a 21
17 score.
Last year at the end of the reg
ular season th^Catamount, under
the leadership of Marion MacDon
ald had won 13 games and lost 13
games. They had scored 1311 points
against 1311 for their opponents.
