Rotary Hears District
Governor Speak Friday
Rev. Malcolm R. Williamson, dis
trict governor of Rotary, addressed
his home club here Friday, as he
discussed "Rethinking Rotary."
Prior to Mr. Williamson's ad
dress, the club received William
Millar as a new member, witn m.
H. Bdwles presenting the plaque
and pin.
The club gave their fellow mem
round of applause as he was pre
sented.
Rotary has come a long way
since February 1905, when a com
paratively unknown and lonely
lawyer in Chicago started the lirst
Rotary Club. Little did he dream
at that time that there had been
conceived in his mind a movement j
which was destined to become
world-wide in its scope. Today
there are nearly 350,000 Rotarlans
in 83 different countires that cher
ish the memory of Paul P. Harris.
"It is a privilege to pledge alle
giance to 'one motto r "Service
Above Self."
"The growth of Rotary, while
not phenominal, has been such a
character that during I he past ten
years, Rotary Clubs have been or
ganized throughout the world at
the rate of five new clubs per
Week.

Soil Thirsty
Sunday's rainfall was something
oi a wash-out,., in the matta of
benefitting the soil. According to
the County Agent's office, there
was "hardly enough water to lay
the dust." The soil was so dry that
what water fell Was absorbed be
fore it penetrated the surface. The
official State Test Farm report gave
a total of barely more than one
twentieth of an inch during the
day.
Not since exuetly a month ago,
on September 22, has there been
as much as a half inch of rain in
one day. Since that date, less than
half an inch has fallen.

Extra Good
Crop Seen Oy
Corpening
What may be "the greatest to
bacco crop In the history of Hay
wood County," in the opinion of
County Agent Wayne Corpening.
should bring in the neighborhood
of $1,500,000 when the market
opens in December.
Increased acreage harvested com
bined with high quality burlcy ac
counts for the value of the crop.
"We've got the heaviest tobacco
this year we have ever had." de
clares Mr. Corpening; ."If will run
about 2000 pounds per acre. When
you figure that we have some of
the best quality ever, the. heaviest
ever, afrd the largest avreagc ever,
you can see that we ought to have
the most tobacco on the floor ever."
The increase In allotments and
the increase in the number of farm-'
ers planting their allotments have
resulted in the harvesting of nearly ',
one-fourth more acres In Imrlev..
The PMA office reports that this
year 2058 allotments were granted
in the county, with 1876 of them
used, to harvest 1379 acres. Last"
year there were 1969 allotments, of,
which 1609 were used. Total acr-
age harvested was 1118. ,
Part of the increase, according'
to Mr. Corpening, Is due to the
CDP Tobacco Commission's meet-
ings and tobacco schools early In'
the year. "Then the contest spoilt
sored by the Community Develop
ment Program and financed by the""
First National Bank is having .
great deal to do with the acreage
set out. Previously, we had been
losing aproximately 300 acres each
jyear by failure to plant full allot
ments. Since weather conditions
I have been generally favorable, and
the tobacco cured out well. It
should grade the highest quality."
