VILLE, ".NORTH CAROLINA .Ic i.iust 7atch Gomp2tition' In Production Of Tobacco By THOMPSON GREENWOOD Editor N. G. Dept of Agriculture - v- l It is about time for us North Carolinians to realize that neither this State nor the United States has a corner on the production of tobacco. Since this golden weed consti tutes the economic backbone of North Carolina, It is imperative that we keep an alert eye on what other areas and other countries are doing with this crop. Tobacco is King in North Caro i mm, uui - - - CHINA . .. China In 1944, despite eight years of war and famine, produced an estimated 909,067,000 pounds of tobacco. In 1940, China grew 1,. 131.962.000 pounds. INDIA India has been producing tobac co since the seventeenth century, going to American tvDe flue-cur ed In 1928. For the past four years India has averaged 51,000,000 lbs. of flue-cured tobacco each year. Her potential production of flue- . cured tobacco is virtually without limit BRITISH EMPIRE COLONIES Tobacco experts believe that the principal threat to North Caroli na's export trade in flue-cured to bacco will come from the British colonies of Rhodesia, Australia, and Canada, where there is cheap land and cheap labor. The British colonies are allowed a preferential duty rate of two shillings per pound on all tobacco imported by England. In other words, a' Canadian exporter can send his tobacco into England 50 cents a pound cheav?r than a North Carolina exporter. EXPORT TOBACCO It Is important to remember that the perapita consumption of to bacco in England is right up near the top - and England is North Carolina's best customer in flue cured tobacco. The future of American flue cured tobacco -- and this might also apply to the future of North Carolina tobacco, and in some measure to ine ruiure or iNortn Carolina - - depends upon our pro duction of quality lerf at a price that will meet foreign competition.

Jrliiust Sane Men Early in March, national press Wires carried a Story from Wash ington to the farthest corners of th country, about 10 members of Con gress who said they thought ths national budget should and could be balanced. They were half-and-half senators and representatives. Seven were Democrats and nine were Re publicans and they made it plain by signing a written statement. They are:. SENATE HOUSI - Byrd Cox Bridges Doughton Taft Halleck Tydings Knutson Vandenberg Martin Walsh Taber Wherry Whittington White Woodruff My hat is off to these realistic statesmen. I hope their ranks soon embrace the entire Congress. Our Debts are Huge America's next chance to have balanced budget will be in the fiscal year of 1947. It starts July 1. 1948 and ends June 30, 1947. The United States is already in debt for every thing it has. This does not mean all the country is worth, but it doe mean an amount equivalent to the value of everything the people of this nation have saved since their ancestors started saving. The national debt is 280 billion dollars. That figure approximates the value of all the farms and farm improvements in the country, all the city real estate and city im provements, all the manufacturing plants in the nation, all the bank accounts, and all the insurance poli cies, all added up. Starting Over Agaia The United States stands now where some pioneer settler of colo nial days might have'stood If, his log cabin had burned with everything oi food and clothing inside. Closer to home: The energetic young family, man with two children, who has just finished paying for an $8,000 resi dence, can depend on starting now to buy it all over again in taxes, paying no more than his rightful share of the national debt which is $2,000 per man, woman and child. Tax on this enormous debt will be 1 a new, yearly expense lor our gov eminent It will be a big one too Interest on debt alone will cost Uncle Sam more than he ever raised by taxes in any single pre-war year. If there ever was a time When America's common people deserved a balanced budget so they could look frankly and boldly at the truth of debts and taxes, it is now. Fighting Has Ceased There are ways to start balancing the national budget and the sooner it starts the better. The war is ovtr and war bureaus can be reduced In size and cost The number of fed eral employees can be cut more than most of us imagine. Deficit spending (spending what we do not have) can be stopped also if we really, set our heads to do it By doing this we can save what we do have left With all savings gone, we have something left The settler whose cabin burned had his energy and his good name left. The home owner who - must start buying all over again In taxes,- still has his credit and a job we hope. Just so the United States, with prestige among nations and a sound economy, has something left; something of value that must be preserved. Mrs. Mattie S.

SCIENCE SCRATCHES POISON IVY OFF LIST Science has happy tidings this summer for American vacationists allergic to that "Dracula" of sum- merve getation known as poison ivy. The good news comes in the form of a new war-born cnemxal calied 2, 4-D (Dichlorophenoxy ac etic acid), now available to oper ators of vacation playg.-junds and owners of summer homes and camps. When sprayed on poisn plan's, this new running mate of the other chemical wonder, DDT, will ren der the obnoxious wead totally harmless. The nasty stuff sora collapses soon after spray mg. js the chemical penetrates t , the very roots of the pit it and actu ally strangles it to death. Ex-wi-n-rnts conducted show that 1600 square feet of weed infested area can be covered with approximately 51.00 worth of 2,4-D, or Weed-No-More. Each year additional thousands who have never contracted ivy poisoning before find themselves no longer Immune; therefore cut ting or pulling the plant and roots out by hand Is a chance ni t woith risking. It has also been proved that ivy poisoning may be contracted merely by contact with smoke from fires in which the plants are being burned. KiHlng them by spraying not only is much simpler and more effective but eliminates any danger of a per son's becoming sensitized. Once the ivy poisoning enters the blood stream the victim is us ually faced with six years of sum mer misery before it "burns" It self out Merely being near the plant growth, even without actual contact, of ten causes a reoccurren ce, . according to published case histories. . .
