The Agriculture Department also announced t hat Great Britain has bought 80 million pounds for their use. With the opening of foreign markets a.uain 1n:- American tobacco, there is every reason I., believe that the prices will remain at least to the 1947 level, or perhaps higher. The state department of agriculture has ju.-t released figures showing that heie in stern North Carolina, the 1947 burley crop lni almost 15 million pounds, and sold for 5(1 iliS.OOO, for an average of 42.3 cents pei P'.i.nd. The 1946 crop of burley in this area b i .inht an average of 41.5 cents per pound. The Flood Hits Us V hen the Columbia River went on a ram p.i.t on the Pacific coast, we read about it, an.; our sympathy went to those who suf teied from the severe flood. Little did we think at the time, that the flood would af fect us here in Haywood. Fiom a wholesale seed buyer, wc learn th.it much of the cover crop seeds urnwn in that rich valley were destroved. and that there will be a definite shortage durum the coming season. It seems that vetch and Aus'iian winter peas are the main seed crops :ri.v . :i in that section on the western coast. Tl.,' small acreage and unfavorable weath er ci editions in the midwest have cut the mm. on clover seed crop to about fiftv per ieiii our informant told us. O H. Tedford. who recently came here and t itered business, is a veteran of the seed business. He processes seeds and keeps up wi'.li '.he national market. The outlook, ac cui'i o Mr. Tedford. is anything but bright tor c ver crop seeds for the coming season, hnii we all know, here in Haywood, a cov ei ci'up is important to every farm, since it ii a nd builder. We've Just Put It Off A :nidwest editor who. was here with the Natn.nal Editorial Association, recently wiote of his trip and remarked: "I fail to understand why North Carolina has not told the world more about her majestic moun tains and the inspiring scenery that is found in all parts of Western North Carolina. When the world finds out about this garden spot of America, the place will be over-run with vis itors." The visiting newspaper man is not the first to call this to our attention. We know the need, but just for first one reason then an other, have not gotten around to doing as much about it as we should. Would It Be Mrs. Governor? Down in South Carolina, there are six can didates out for the place as governor for 1H50. Among the six is Mrs. Graham Pavne Curry, a pretty 28-year-old mother of two children. She is a native of Fletcher, N. C, and is really serious about the campaign. She is hoping that her campaign will induce-more women to offer for office, and take more interest in public affairs. To date the state has had one woman senator and one representative in the general assembly. Those-of us in North Carolina who are still in the midst of a campaign for governor, will look with interest on the coming cam paign just to the south of us. Since Mra. Curry is a former professional t ballroom dancer, we expect she is ready to Twep on her toes, and perhaps tep on the toes of her five opponents. Can Vandenberg Swing N. C. Into GOP Column? Monday in Philadelphia the: National Re publican convention will convene and about four or five days later, a nominee is expected to be named by the delegates. Of course there is a lot of speculation as to the man the convention will name and in this connection, the Chapel Hill weekly says that if ''Senator Vandenberg is nominated that North Carolina may shift over into the Re publican column as it did back in 1928. This is what the editor of the paper in the University City has to say on the sub- j et : " A prominent citizen of Chapel Hill who has never voted for any presidential candi date except a Democrat in the 49 years since he was 21 he is the kind that is spoken of as a rock-ribbed Democrat' tells the editor , of this newspaper that he has made up his i mind to vote Republican this year if Van tienbert: is the nominee. "When he says that, he is reflecting the opinion and intention of many North Caro linians. How large a body they make up, nobody knows, but it is by no means impos- ; sible that their number is large enough to turn the balance and put North Carolina's - electoral vote in the Republican column. North Carolina went for Hoover in 1928. True, that was because of a widespread bit ter religious prejudice, and no such fanati cal motive is present this year. But there is widespread hostility to Truman, who is, of course, the inevitable Democratic nominee, and thousands of voters who are not actually hostile to him are so indifferent to him that they will kick out of the party traces if the Republicans put up a man they admire. " No formidable number of Democrats will bolt their party to vote for Dewey or Taft or Stassen. but they will desert in shoals if they have the opportunity to vote for the Senator from Michigan. In North Carolina as elsewhere in the nation, no man who has a chance of being nominated for the Presi dency, on either side stands so high today in the public esteem as Varvdenberg."

They acquire their hand icap as children from, the way their parents take out their neu rotic lee lings on them. For in stance, a mother who is neurotic ally Jealous of her husband is likely to make sure she will never "lose" her children by letting them grow up so dependent oo her that they cannot leave her.

Second. Government Services, Inc., of Wash ington, have taken over the facilities at Fon tana, and are proving to be an asset in bring ing hundreds of people into this area that hurl never before heard of this section. The fact that there are no hotels right in the Park, and living quarters must be se cured outside the Park boundary, means that the adjoining territory must provide the nec essary accommodations. This area must realize that we have keen competition when it comes to seeking the traveler's dollar as other sections of the coun try are making; a strong bid for the same business. Cross Sonic Barrier With the announcement that U. S. planes have crossed the sonic barrier, approximate ly 800 miles an hour, comes the thought that with the next total eclipse of the sun it will be possible for scientists with photographic equipment to go aloft in one of these sonic planes and photograph the eclipse at totality, which is normally about eight minutes, for as long as they wish for with a plane going at that speed in the same direction as the eclipse is moving, which is approximately 1,000 miles an hour, or in. other words the speed of the earth's revolution, The above paragraph perhaps seems rather involved so to make it somewhat more ob vious let us remember that the earth is 25,000 miles in circumference and makes one revolution every 24 hours or at the rate of approximately 1,000 miles an hour. It is evident then that a plane traveling at 1,000 miles an hour could get into the total eclipse and go with it for the distance- of the earth's circumference, of course provided his fuel would last. Another analogy would be that a plane could go up in darkness and travel at 1,000 miles an hour and stay in darkness forever if his fuel would last that long.
