Leaf Crop
In Haywood
Is In Good
Condition
Recent Hail Storms
Cause Little Damage
Reports County
Agent
Recent hail storms in Haywood
county have not caused serious
damage to the Burley tobacco
crop, since most of the planls were
young enough to outgrow tin
cuts, reports County Agent Wayne
Corpening.
Indications are that this year's
crop will be much larger than that
of 194(, when many of the acres
allotted to ihe county were not
used due to the lack of plants.
Three recent hailstorms fell in
the Fines Creek, Iron Dull and
Cruso areas, with very little dam
age done except in lower Iron Duff,
according to Mr Corpening. In
general the tobacco is in very good
condition at this time.
Measuring teams for the Agri
cultural Administration have
turned in reports on 704 farms of
Ihe 1,741 growers who have allot
ments, according to Miss Mary Sue
Crocker, chief clerk at the AAA
office.
About one in every 10 farms has
recorded an excess planting, aver
aging about two-tenths of an acre:
although several places have not
planted their complete allotments.
Growers who overplant have the
choice of cutting down and receiv
ing price support from the govern
ment, or paying market penalties
on their excess tobacco.
Over the burley section of North
Carolina, estimates have placed the
crop at a 16.5 per cent increase over
last year.
Reports of measuring teams have
been turned in for all of Clyde
township and parts of Waynesville,
Crabtree, Jonathan Creek and
Beaverdam.

by Professor R. H. Ruffner of State

Using examples of the types
from the Osborne farm herd which
he remarked was the oldest Guern

North Carolina, Prof. Ruffner
showed how animals earn their
proper classification of excellent,
very good, good plus, good, fair,
or poor. "The type animal and

The professor also brought out
that a good bull was invaluable in

Large Audience
Attended Fourth
Annual Dairymen's
Banquet Tuesday
"The fanner holds in his hand?,
the destiny of the nation.'' Dr.
: Clyde A. Erwin, stale superintend
ent of public instruction told 300
Haywood dairymen, business men
i and civic leaders at the fourth au-
nual banquet held here Tuesday
night, in the cafeteria of the Haz
elwood school.
Dr. Erwin called for a continu
ance, and more rigid practice of
soil erosio'n, and improvement of
soil. "Those who deal with agi irul-
ture should leave the soil better
t,lan when they started, if this 11,1-
tion 's lo continue to produce it.,
own food."
"When we realize that w,.
am
solely dependent upon n tt-inrli
layer of soil for all agriculture, and
that in the last 300 years, hall of
this layer has been washed into
rivcr3, then we realize the .'.bane
ful record. At the same rale,
America will be receiving food
from other parts of the earth, in
stead of sending It abroad."
"The raw products of agricull tin
produced today is the destuvy of
America tomorrow," Dr. Erwin con
tinued. The speaker struck an optimistic
note, as he predicted a bright fu
ture for dairying in North Caro
lina, and "longed to see the day
when this state produced sufficient
dairy products for home consump
tion and no imports would he

"We hope to continue the lunch
room program 1n the school si of
the state, and there, as always,
stress the use of more and mjtrV;
milk. We realize that our greate-l.
asset is our boys and girls, and
one of our aims is a hyalfhicr
citizenship."
"Dairying is on the threshold of
a great day. The field is unlimited
and the demand is steadily r.i ow
ing." Dr. Erwin brought out Hie many
natural advantages for dairying in
Haywood, and the advancement
which had been made in recent
years, with bettor herds, improved
dairying facilities, and more pride
in the industry as a whole. He
