This organization will work for the farmer and the warehouse men, but mainly for the former. Plans are for it to operate in much the same manner as the N. C Dairy Products Association, I lie National Peanut Council, and other groups of this kind. Look for further announcements about it within the next 10 days. TOBACCO PRICES Prices for tobacco have been lower on the Old Belt markets than on the Middle and Eastern Belts. Here is the reason given by the experts: tobacco producers in the Middle Belt, and this is even more true in the East, are big land owners, and they plant scores of acres. and they sometimes represent their counties in the Legislature, I and they are bigwigs in the farm organizations, so the buyers know there will be trouble if they don't. pay the best possible price. On the other hand, the growers in the Winston-Salem area are as a whole comparatively small landowners, planting from two to 20 acres. They don't carry agreal deal of influence. So, even though the to bacco in the west this year is better than in the rain-damaged east, prices are lower, because the buyers feel they can gel by with it. As said above, the experts give this version of the relatively low prices on the Old Belt markets. Buyers have not as yet given a better reason. not only busy these days on the football field (as witness last Sat urday) it is also raising money right and left. The goal for Wake County alone is $500,000, and this is only $(5.000 short of the Mere dith College drive for the whole country. i i nc dovs are now running srr, oik! place at old Wake. Bostwivk and Hunter dormitories have been turned over to the women, and on the first three days of school literally scads of boys were about over town finding rooms as best they could. iviiurv you arc going to get a lot of advice thrown at you to drink more milk. The State Dairy I'roducts Association is now con sideling a broad advertising pro gram. JONATHAN Everybody is ask ing what has become of Jonathan Daniels since the death of Presi dent Roosevelt. You know, he got out of the White House saying he was going to work for a publishing firm. He is doing some writing as signments for this company, and docs a piece now and then for some liberal rag like the New Re public or the Nation. A while back he had a little piece in Liberty magazine. Although he is at home here every few days, he is doing quite a bit of scribbling a lot of k free lance. In other words, he sells it wherever he can. POULTRY Poultry and egg producers take warning. For the first time since the emergency period began, Raleigh last Satur day had more poultry on hand than the stores could sell. SUCCESS You may look for more Turkish tobacco in North Carolina next year. It was grown this stason by farmers for the first time in the United Slates. Producers of Haywood, Alleghany and Ashe counties report that their experimental plantings have done well, and experts believe now that Tarheelia can grow even better Turkish than Turkey. The tobacco grown this season will be sold to companies working with Duke Uni versity in the project for 75 cents per pound. Note: Under normal conditions. lurKisn sells tor about twirr much as hurley or flue-cured. as UP Forest (Fats) Heath, former ly of Harmony in Iredell county and now a big asphalt dealer of Raleigh, was one of the officials at the Wake Forest-Army game. He and his wife and Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Martin went up for the game, the latter having sons on the Army and Deacon elevens. Funny thing. Heath never played football, but he is one of the top flight officials. Good money in it, too. HOW TO One of the best how- to publications ever urndurpH in this state is "Selecting a Farm in North Carolina." Set up and writ ten by Extension Service econo mists, it is being distributed out of North Carolina by the State News Bureau. Although it has the veteran in mind, you should read it yourself. See your county agent. SPEECH State Democratic offi cials have not reelased plans for seating the people who come to Raleigh to hear President Truman. There will not be any tickets passed out that seems definite. However, the Democratic leaders in each of the counties will be in the choice seats one way or the other and you can count on it.
