Tim nupr. o c r -J Li .;:v!JijLv TaziAir.vn.tr. riciTii Carolina 'A LOOKIH' UP By: A. M. DAVIS This, without a doubt, has been, and Is in the process of being, one of the most disappointing truck crop years since the end of World War II. The truck crop farmers in this area are having a hard time trying to get enough out of their produce to even pay expenses much less make any profit for themselves. The low prices for produce has been explained by the fact that our crops became ready for harvesting at the same time those in South Carolina and Georgia were being harvested. We hope this explains the situation. If it does we prob ably will not have to face the same problem any time soon and will probably have a good truck crop year next spring. A number of local farmers, un less they change their way of think ing, will not raise truck crops next year. We can hardly blame them after observing the disheartening prices that they are receiving this year. At a glance we hardly know whether this situation is good or bad for the Coastal Plain Vege table Research Farm just estab lished in the edge of Faison. With many people threatening to go out of the produce business, it would not do them much good other than the experiments on corn, is our way of thinking but there is an entirely different point of view that we should consider. Good produce is bringing, as a rule, good prices and to help us grow good grades of produce is what the station is for .The local farmer's problems in being able to grow high grades of produce is the station's problems. Mr. Banadyga, the station mana ger, assured me this morning when I was out there that he wanted all the. farmers in this area to feel that the station was for their bene fit and that it belonged to them and that he wanted them to feel free to visit the station and ask questions pertaining to their crops, and that he would do all he could to answer them. Many farmers are making use of the station and more will be welcome. An example of how a farmer was helped came up only a few days ago. He was administering a poison recommended for a certain kind of bug. He though he knew the kind. of bug that was destroy ing bis crops. The poison did not seem to take effect as it should. He went to the station and asked for help and it turned out an entirely different type of pest was attacking his fields and that the poison he was using bad no effect on it at all-v Another kind of poison was recommended and results were at tained. Mr. Banadyga showed me about 30 different kinds of bugs that at tack our crops. Poisons are made for most of these and it would be Hicks Reunion Held Faisd Sunday FRESH FEEDS MEAN A LOT ' THESE HOT SUMMER DAYS Our Feeds Are Delivered Each Week To Us DIRECT FROM THE MILL IT IS ALWAYS FRESH There' Is No Warehouse Stop-Over In OUR Gold Strap Feeds or Argus Flour SEE US FOR YOUR FEEDING NEEDS BIG DOLLAR FEED STORE ( Your Complete Feed Store) DIAL 249-1 FAISON Members of the 'Hicks family, who can trace their ancestry back to the Hon. Thomas Hicks and Mrs. Elizabeth Williams Hicks of the Revolutionary War period, gathered in Faison last Sunday for their an nual family reunion.

There has been so much wrlttea about the death of Mrs. Lester Kor negay since this paper was last published, that we feel It hardly necessary that we go Into details In this section this week. It Is hard for us to believe that so hor rible an Incident could take place here In our community. We often read about such happenings In other places but this was brought home to us. " We extend our deepest sympathy to Mr. Kornegay and the family. We certainly hope that the party or parties guilty of such gross viol ence will be apprehended and given the punishment they have earned for themselves.

Experiments are being carried on with lettuce, carrots, beets and tomatoes. They have shown good indications of being suited to this climate and soil, have been bring ing good prices on other markets and have not been grown com mercially here. They have been picking tomatoes at the station for three weeks. -.,:!f t Experiments will be made with fall crops of cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, cauliflower; - broccoli, and others.' These usually bring a good price in the fall and would prove profitable If insect control can be carried on without too much cost to the grower. :. ,f.v Next Monday the first Ijleld Day will be held at the station.
