Cotton . Situation Jn
By Frederick H. HeMelblrg,
executive vice president,
C. Cotton Promotion Assn.
Cotton is an old crop in North
Carolina. It is Intertwined, itradl'
tionally, with the past glory and
tragedy of this state and the en
tire Southeast. Unfortunately ft is
relegated by sentiment in some
minds to the era of the mule, and
slowly but surely yielding ground
to new things in agriculture.
. It has, been' well ' said, "There
are two' kinds of fools jn the
world-Those who think .because a
thing is old it Is 'good; and those
who think because a thing is new
it is better " , ' ;
'.- Cotton is an old crop. For thai
reason it drserves no considera
tion. Cotton Is not a new crop.
For 'that- reason Jt should not be
condemned ' " J

Cotton is a dependable -cash crop.
It la indigenous to North Carolina's

how to produce it. Generally they

Duplin Receives
$49,200 Stream
Clearance Money
Duplin County has been appro
priated $49,200 for stream clearance
projects in the County according
to an announcement today by Fal
son W. MJowen, County Auditor.
The appropriation is for clear
ance of Maxwell Creek for $19,200;
.Cypress Creek, $24,000 and Grove
Swjfmp, $6,000.
The clearance has bem appro
ved by the Federal Civil Defense
Authority and wor kwill begin in
the near future.
Many of the streams in Duplin
have been cleaned under previ
ous appropriations. IlowevoV,
these which are to receive clear
ance have been overlooked in the
past.
The clogging and silt which have
washed into the creeks prevents
adequate drainage and in many
cases i is responsible for damage
to farm crops.

not make the most efficient gains

By separating them during growing

The drift is obvious. The economic

Permitting cotton acreages to de

grow it, is the primary adjustment
under present conditions of gov

Uncle Pele From Chitflin Switch
SATS
DEAR MISTER ERITOR:
A story in the papers Snday sav.s
folks has to git acquainted with
the new space vocabulary and pay
more attention to space matters.
I'm pretty well trained in space
matters, was raised in a famil
of eight living in four rooms. We
conquered the space problem when
I was a boy. And as fer gittmg
me a new space vocabulary, about
all I need to know is the ICMB
stands fer I Can Be Murdered by
one of them long range shotguns.
I'm a heap more concerned over
another kind of space right at this
,. T ,
time. I see where the Senate voted
the other day to pay $965,000 fer
parking space next to the new
Senate ofice building Considering
that we ain't got but 96 Senators,
that comes to $10,052 09 fer each
Senator to git parked every
morning or on such mornings as
he comes to work. The piece states
the lot will hold 285 automobiles.
I reckon the other 189 spaces is
fer stenographers and constituenst.
We bought the whole state of
Florida from Spain fer not much
more than we paid fer this park
ing space. Looks like this space
business Is gittJng to be a big
problem, both up yonder and down
here.
Newspapers is devoting more
words to money matters and space
matters these days than evrything
else put together. If it ain't a new
space plan it's a new money plan.
Fer instant, this feller was talking
on television last night and he
said we could cure all our fih-
ance troubles If everybody paid
cash on the barrel-head. The pore
feller don't seem to know that in
1958 the stores don't have no bar
rels and the customers ani't got
no cash. ;
Even our preacher got to talk
tg about money matters Sunday

need adjustment to control the
level of feed in the eating area.
I am still surprised at the
numbe of people that are using an
antibioac in the drinking water
for the first few days. This to me
is a foolish waste of money unless
the poults are sick. All the feed
companies that I know of are
using an antibiotic in the turkey
starter and I see no need of giving
them more drug in the water.
Feed prices wijl be a little dif
fcerent this summer than last. It
isn t so much the price of feed per
hundredweight as it is the cost
per pound uf gain that is impor
tant ;o you. Ask your company
for some records showing what the
feed conversion of their feed1 will
be, and then you can more accur
ately determine what your feed
cost will be.
Incidentally, storage holding of
turkey is disappearing fast.
