R. A. Fields will again serve the] market as the efficient sales super-1 visor. The duties of publicity di^c-1 tor have also been delegated to his} care and attention again this This group of representatives from | every firm, corporation and identified with the purchasing of tobacco onr this market, was organized in 1907 to serve as a clearing house,, where any member might be heard regarding any problem connected with the selling and buying of tobacco on this market, with recourse to special investigation and action in its solution.

A majority of theee, buyers residing here for years or returning For successive seasons, «ue well known and are highly regarded by the fanners. , Two sets of buyers, representing •very known company and many independents, make up the corps 'on che Fannville market and aire among the best to be found anywhere. In:hided among these companies are two local buying firms, A. C. Monk ft Company, which has bought extensively of the tobaccos on this market since A. C. Monk purchased the first pile sold here on opening lay in 1904, and-the Fannville Leaf robacco Company, which was formed bn 1940 with H. Neal Howard, former head of the local branch of the W. B.

SLAP THE JAPS WITH SCRAP" & .. i " . The waiting line of horses and wagons outside .the smithy of "C. V. Moore, Horseeboer," hmg ago stopped getting a rise out of towns people of Wellsboro, Peon. la thousands of other towns throughout the country the hone is coming beck and his coming is being taken for granted. . Hie war has called farm hones and mules to the colors. There are in America today 14,000,000 horses and mules, about J.2,000,000 of which are old enough to work. Jhese, plus 1,600,000 tractors and 1,MO,000 motor trucks, provide the power for the nation's 6,000,000 farms. To torn in the added production the government has called for, both the hones and the machines must be kept busy. Horses, like mm, can work harder than usual in emergencies. Many horses that in peace time worked only 500 to 600 hours a year can be worked many more hours provided they are gradually hardened to work, fed correctly and cared for property. Possibly one reason that some horses have put in no more time is that the farm-owner did not have enough animals to pull heavy machinery. One way of getting around that is to swap hones with neighbors. Many extension services are making available free plans for multiple hitches which not only enable heavy jobs to be done with four-legged horsepower but also save the time of a driver since one man can handle four to eigfet hones hitched together whereas it would take from two to four men to handle the same horses if they were worked in pain. ROY H.PARK. The sweet potato laboratory at Gilmer, Texas, is working toward increasing the yield per acre of high quality potatoes and removing the lower grades from commercial markets. > North Carolina farmers are taking advantage of the three-year wheat crop insurance contracts nowbeing offered by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, according to E. T. Floyd, state AAA executive assistant, WN.C State College. The Insurance guarantees 75 percent at the normal yield set tip for each wheat farm against losses due to causes beyond control of the grower, such as flrar floods, windstorm, hail, and drought. Premium rates vtfry from four-tenths to six-tenths of a bushel per acre, which at present pices is w> average of about 60 cents per acre. Hie insurance, however, may be obtained without an outlay of cash .premiums being deducted from any indemnity due the farmer, ot any payment due him under the AAA farm program. Closing date for making application is September 15, and none will be accepted after that date. Applications may be made at any county AAA office. As a rpault of consumer demand, experiments are underway in several sections at the United States to breed a type of hog with more lean meat in the bacon.
