Hedrick, tobacco U,peciaUst .show tbnft North Caro- i'na irmers grew J,l,uou acr, s of tobacco in 1957, for a return of $358,442,000. Earlier in the year, it had been estimated that 435,000 acres of flue cured tobacco had been planted Before the support was raised from $54.20 to 54.60 the estimated income from this year's crop had been set at $385,000,000. This estimate was based on an average of $60 per 100 pounds of tobacco. Should this average hold true, with the yields being above the expected return, then the total income from tobacco in Easttrn North Carolina could be much higher this year. Corn acreage in Eastern North Carolina is believed to be higher than last year, despite soil bank programs. The reason for this is a marked increase in broiler pro duction, laying hens, and turkey output. Uncle Pete From SATS OKAR MISTER EDITOR: The other day, while I was out cheeking my pasture few, I get to thinking about that argument some Congressmen got in last sum mer about the typical farmer. I wasn't thinking too deep on the subject, in fact I wasn't checking tne pasture fences any to careful , jjy old lady was putting out the wash, and I learned a long time ago that it's a good time to check the pasture fences when the old lady starts talking a about gittlng out the wash. But the Department of Agriculture said last summer that the average farmer has mice In his kitchen and rats in his barn. Some Congressmen took It up and one of them argued that it was a insult to the American farmer, and another Congressman argued that It was true, and that it only pro ved that the farmer needed more help and more relief. It ain't exactly proper, I think, to say that the typical farmer has mice in his kitchen and rats in his barn anymore than it's proper to say that a certain banker who hap pens to be in the penitentiary is a typical banker, That's like saying that the editor of, the Chicago Tri bune is a typical editor. It may be true that a . heap of farmers ain't got no more modern standards than I got out here, but I got more confidence in the American far mer than 'to say he ain't got bo more ambition than. I got. I ain't offering no apology !;fer my farm because it suits me, and If it dont it tint nothing fer Congress to worry about But I think Congress would do a lot better lust to keep giving th'' farmers more (relief and xiutf'taifcing, bout the mice in their kitchen and rets in their barn. tt"s" embarrastng feit us -farmeirs to have all that stuff In the papers Last summer: when I was reading PRICE TEN CENTS c. i V t 1K mmXd 'L Most of the counties in Eastern North Carolina are classified as corn producing counties, and are in for the higher suport price. The corn that is being grown now appears to be filled out and will bring about a high yield per acre. Rains have been just right for the corn. Cotton, which is a dry weather crop, has far.d remarkably well. The lint plants show many bloss oms and it is hoped that it will bring about a good crop this year. Other cops, including family gardens, are equally well off. One discouraging factor to far mers is the high rate of worm and in-ect infestation. It was thought that the s verely cold winter would bring a year with few worms and insects. This however, was not the case. Quite to the contrary, it seems that the bugs are worse than ever. Chittlin Switch all that stuff in the papers I felt like Ed Dolittle's wife felt tb time company came and caught her with only two petticoats on. Well. Mister Editor, by the time I had set on the creek bank fer a couple hour checking my fences nad thinking about the typical far mer, I figured my old lady was through with the wash, so I went on home without solving the pro blem. I'm passing it along to you just as I felt it. The next time your old lady gits the wash tub out, check your pasture fences and see what you can do with it. Tour truly.
