In- Soil and Water Loans Available For Farmers From Our Readers The 1958, tobacco crop Is 90 in the growing field now and will be 100 by this week end. There has been the best supply of the finest tobacco plants this area has experiences in any year on record; plants of uniform size and a healthy root system to give the plan's a good start in the growing fields. The state of North Carolina r - ceived the heaviest rainfall on re- i cord: for the time of year; on a leader will pay sis.so at Camp Tuscarora and $11.50 at Camp Car ver.

The lateness of the 1958 tobacco crop has narrowed down to about one week from that of 1957 and with the present weather prevail ing for the next 4 to 5 weeks the 1958 tobacco crop will be as early as the 1957 crop. If history repeats Itself; and It irenerallv docs; the 1958 tobacco eroD will be very desirable one for the trade, should have good color, not too heavy, a fine texture with plenty grain, there should be very little slick pale faced to bacco In this crop.

My old lady starts house cleaning and re arranging the furniture. Fer Instant, I've moved that sofa in the parlor ever spring fer 30 years. I've wore place in the upholstery off the dern thing' pushing it from one corner of the room to the other. But it ain't no use arguing with your old lady when spring gits here. It's better to just listen even if you ain't hearing nothing. Of course, I iin't complaining a bout spring, just about the way vvimmen abuse it. It's mighty nice ever year to come to the end of the longest, nose-blowingesr, dis agreeable winter you can remem ber. It means it won't be long til you'll be nejoylng the longest, dri est, hottest summer you have ever saw, including the mosquitoes. A dam and Eve made several mistake, but the worst they made was not swatting them two mosquitoes in the garden of Eden. And I don't think much of Noah's Judgment fer taking a pair of'em aboard the Ark. In spring It's mighty good to see the trees putting out, the cal ves gitting frisky, and the grass gittlng green. But I try not to git poetic , about these things, try to use restraint Long ago I come to remember that if the buttercup is in bloom, the weeds can't be fer behind. Any piece of farming land looks mighty pretty in the spring, when it's .just broke and there ain't a weed in sight. But spring is like a politician at election time. ; ft Sounds good and most folks fall for. it but spring and pollticlsas; with their promises run out, summer comes with hot weather and flies and weeds in the crops and taxes gittlng high er, and no more paved roads than you had before the election. And I never fergit that summer brings fruit canning time, the time when my old lady can screw on a fruit jar top so tight it'll take a can operner, a chisel, a hammer and 20 minutes fer me to g:t it off next winter. I see by the papers where Poland upped her defense budget 80 mil lion dollars fer the coming year, the exact amount of our "aid to that country.
