D. Baucom, superintendent of the State ??=.33ST* WeW"" I; Although refusing to give the name ?f tha warehouse or the town in whfch it is situated, Baucom asserted that a_ warehouse opeartor reported rinding rocks, in four baskets. Bau com said the rocks varied in weight from six to 15 pounds each. He said no warrants have been drawn, pending other violations, add ing that he had no definite informa tion as to who placed the stones in the baskets. Conviction of this weights viola tion carries a fine of $?,500, 80 day* t? * year in jail, or both, according to Baucom. 1 Corn Yields Are Eaafly Estimated 1 An easy method of estimating eon fields has been prepared by Dr. Enter-1 ion Collins, in charge at Eatenrion Agronomy at State College. By the use of this method fanners can | ? study of exactly what they are do ing in corn production and why yields par acre are not as large as they iheuid be. Thi plan is to weigh the shucked Corn on fifty running feet of row at tbout five or six places in the field to get average conditions. Then mul tiply the weight of corn for the fifty reet by a certain factor, AtpwwHwg 0n the width of the row, and this gives the bushels of corn per acre. Dr. Collins took into consideration the fact that field corn is rather high in moisture as compared with com mercial corn and other such matters in determining the "factor" to give fe*hels per acre from pounds of ihucked corn per fifty feet of row. Here are the factors: Multiply the bright of shucked* corn from fifty running feet of row by-3rtS inches for 42 inch rows; 2.95 for ? inch roam; 2.76 for four foot rows; 2*1 for five foot rows; and to wiB discover that it taki m^l Si ^re,ti PrtKh,f* ***** yields, but if plants are increased, food avrower ||b the _ 9*r hybrid, he barren family five on the local _ of tobacco I. on the warehouse floor* for two day* sales at the regular selling time of five boors per da) and mors was coming in to be sold. As usual, how ever, the, warehousemen on the Ferm rille Market rose to the occasion and with the excellent cooperation that is always displayed here, the.block WM broken by Wednesday and activities were going forward smoothly. The new schedule Is backing op the sales approximately two days and is increasing the -pressure from the producers' end. It is new certain that grading work and marketing ot to bacco must be slowed down because the selling time has been reduced 40 per emit and some damaged tobacco is making its appearance on the ware house floors. No official announce ment has been made about the con tinuance of the new selling schedule; but it is likely that it will be main tained during a greater part, if not during the remainder of the' market ing season. The Fsrmville Tobacco Market through Friday, September IS, sold 10,561,418 pounds (ft tobacco for $5,400,951.60. Since the three hours limitation come on, ie. for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, the market sold 1,888,222 pounds for $681,912.46. The total poundage for the season through Wednesday of this week was 11,944^40, which brought producers the gross sum of $6,062, 864.06, for an average of slightly over $51.00 per hundred. It is the opinion of most observers on the market that with the congested conditions now being relieved and tobacco being marketed oil a limited basis that prices will show an ap preciable rise in the near future. Fanners an urged to grada their tobacco carefully, keep it in good con dition, and to market ti gradually. | Farmville continues its tins reputa tion of the past in being the "Stead iest Market in the State." ' Farmers Urged To VacoxtateHoss Against Cholera Outbreaks Raleigh, N. Car., Special:? Farmers were warned today to guard agginst the danger of out breaks of hog cholera-in the hazard ous months of early fall. This is one of the seasons of great est danger from hog cholera, the American Foundation for Animal Health declared, and livestock men were advised to keep a close watch on their swine droves and have all pigs vaccinated early. Vaccination, along with sound sani tation practices and proper feeding, constitute the heat safeguards for a mire pig crop, the Foundation point ed out. Because infection can be spread by I a hog. coming down with cholera, even | bpfore pronounced symptoms appear, hog raisers were urged to keep a I c|ose watch on their droves for signs | of lover, loss of appetite, or weak If evidence of illness appears, spspect cholera first," the Founda tion' statement said, "and have a vptedinarian make a diagnosi# at opce. sJMTi v., ':: "In the.meantime, if piga have not been vaccinated, it is wise to have this done immediately, makiing sure, first, that they are in condition to receive the immunization.

J " f '' Wallace, in a letter made puiic Tuesday, said "a school of military thinking' advocated a'preventive war on Russia before the Soviets have atom bombs. Wallace denounced each thinking. .v Two Steps Mr. Truman took two derisive steps in abort order late today: 1. He arranged for a gag on Wal lace for the deration of the Paris Peace Conference. Coincidentally, it may last through much of the Con gressional campaign as well. 2. Ha, got from Secretary of War Patterson and Secretary of the Navy Forreetal a joint letter completely disavowing any such "thinking" as Wallace referred to, aad had his aides release it to newsmen imme diately without comment. The text of .the letter follows: "In the letter of Secretary of Com merce Wallace dated -July 28, pub lished in the newspapers this morn ing, the statement ia made that .'a school of military thinking* ia -advo cating 'a preventive war, an attack on Rossis now before Russia has atomic bombs.' " "There ia no basis for this state ment. There is no such military thinking in the War and Navy de partments. We know of no respon sible officers in the Array or Navy who has ever advocated or even suggested a policy or plan of attack ing Russia."'"''' ;:v '? Mr. TVuman apparently told Wal lace emphatically that he stands four-square behind Secretary of State Byrnes sad the methods Byrnes is pursuing, which Wallace criticised. -:".f ' - ::i.rS- : Wallace, who favors more concili atory treatment of Russia and who has expressed fear that present policies may lead to war, told re porters; 'Confident of Peace.' "The President is very confident of peace with Russia.* -Wallace returned a teroe "no" to a question designed to fun down definitely whether the President had told him he must leave the Cabi net if he could not keep quiet, Sk:" Whatever the give-and-take be tween the two, it took two hours and 28 minutes. " /tod Wallace's agreement to "make no public statements or speeches" made it Certain'that there will he no voice with Wallace"h official stand ing raised against Byrnes' policies during the present critical phase of diplomacy! To that extent It was a victory for the Byrnes camp. ;Jn another sense it constitutes only a truce, however, for Wallace will be free to resume his fight when the Paris conference ends. v:' The terms of the agreement- were embodied in one sentence pencilled on a piece of paper and obviously drafted in consultation with the President. Wallace read it to re porters with a grin: "The President and the Secretary of Oommi eroe had a mbst detailed and friendly discussion after which the Secretary reached toe conchy# eion he would make no public statements or speeches until toe conference in Paris is com TOBACCO LABOR i&jS V'BO?<TLT nkkobd in an interview with Prank E.
