Warmer Weather
Aiding Tobacco Plants
Greenville, N. C, April 27
1943 Until Easter Sunday, cool,
windy weather continued to retard
the growth of tobacco plants; how
ever considering this handicap,
their present condition is generally
satisfactory. Stands are irregular
because of two or three sowings.
and scarce in many bedSj but war
mer weather for the past several
days has brought an improvement
in conditions. Blue mold is making
disease come from all parts of the
dease come from all parts of the
Belt, but as yet it has not reached
an alarming stage. Two wind, hail
and rain storms passed over this
section of the state on the 12th
and 13th doing, except in a few in
stances, very little damage to
plants; however, the unusually
hard rains packed the freshly
ploughed land and will necessitate
Goose JNest Townships in Martin,
hut their radio tothose reporting
"normal Damage" is about 40 to 1,
so generally speaking worm and
insect damage is only normal
throughout the Belt. '
A little tobacco was planted In
the early sections last, week; most
ly from the first sowings and more
will be planted this week,"-but It
will be next week before any great
amount of tobacco is set out and
probably -May-aOtlv-before plant
ing really begins in .earnest. Con
tinued warm weather may advance
these prospective dates a few days;
blue mold may delay transplanting
further. The Greatest and most
general complaint from growers is
the scarcity -and lateness of the
plants and an anticipated shotrage
of labor. -

Motorists Advised to
Endorse Gas Stamps
Before Purchase
Motorists in this county were
urged by H. M. Morrison, chair
man of the local War Price and
Ration Board, to endorse their
gasoline coupons in advance and
thus avoid the inconvenience and
delay,, both to them and to their
dealers, of having to do so at the
filling station when they buy gaso
line. Failure to make the proper no
tations on the back of coupons be
fore gasoline is delivered, constitu
tes a violation of the mileage ra
tioning regulations Mr. Morrlso.i
pointed out. ' . . . '
- "License numbers and the ab
breviation Of the state should be
written on the backs of all cou
pons before going to the station,
or when the book is Issued. This
will save the time of the motorists
and the attendants who ' must
otherwise take the time to do this
for each transaction. Without this
endorsement; the filling stations
are. not to accept coupons," the
ration board chairman explained.
'A "While, this write-in require
ment may seem, burdensome it is
a Valuable weapon in the hands of
the Office of Price Administration
In combatting black market gaso
line transactions. The endorse
ment Is our only check on dealer
practices. It is our,, main check
on consumer practices.
"We must remember the reason
for gasoline rationing' to conserve
our tires by controlling mileage, to
make .them last ; until new ones
can be produced," added" Mr." Mor
rison. "Wemust not overlook any
means of safeguarding the miles
available In our tires for those
who need car transportation in do
ing essential war jobs. :
