AH ?w North Carolina, farmers; an jetting ready to harveet their cotton crop, described as below this year by J. C. Ferguson, extension ^cotton gin specialist at State Coilegj. In west** and certain Piedmont counties, the arop is 80 to 88 per cent of normal,1 in the more central regions about 70 per cent, and in the coastal counties the crop is fair, althdhgh boU weevils have wrecked consider-] able damage. Ginning of the 1838 crop w3t start -about 9tatamber 1&. At least a half doses completely new gin outfits have bean placid in the State this summer, Ferguson said. Also, several of the] older fine base added new equipment. Beceuae of the better class work which the modern gins turn out,] many of the older, more obeolete out fits axe being forced out of business.! Last year, there wen about 950 ae-H tive gins in the State; this year, if the rednctim trend of the past ten years continues, the number will be j smeller. Ferguson pointed out that ginners dreed the first few bake of cotton J to go through their outfits, because -growers usually haul in green pick ings. This results in excessive wear] on the gins, as well as rough prepa ration of the cotton. Several ginners have indicated they may not open their outfits this year until green cotton has had e chance to j ?? dry out. Approximately ten driers-have been added in North Carolina this summer, bringing the total of these devices to 20. The driers have not been added to encourage growers to haul in wet cotton* but to accommodate those far ram whose cotton could not be ban died in nay other way. Farm and Home Week Attracts Big Crowd With the return of approximately 1,600 delegate* to their homes, books were closed last Saturday on the 35 th chapter of Farm and Home Week, one of the most successful, ever held. Most of the delegates remained at State College, scene of the annual event, the entire week, while others attended a part of the program.

George Sockwell, imminent Guil ford County farmer, will head the men's division of Farm and Home Week in 1939. President of the wo men's division for next year is Mrs. W. E.
