THURSDAY, AUGUSTJ^IM
POOLE’SJIEDLEY
By o. scxyrr poole
Prom Wednesday, Aug. 11th, till
Tuesday through trains did not pass
over the A. & R- Railroad, because
a trestle over Beaver Creek had
been washed out by a freshet. A
»great deal more rain has fallen in
the Fayetteville section than about
Raeford.
But since Tuesday the I8th, long
trains and all locomotives of the
cMnpany has are running day and
night as before.
Will Gilchrist, colored, had a bale
of cotton ginned on the 15th of Aug.
This is said to be the earliest that
cotton has been ginned. I do not
know how early cotton was ginned,
but a few years ago, gins were
running full time the latter part of
August.
The Canadians, Americans and the
British raided the coast of France on
Wednesday, Aug. 19th, and bombed
Dieppe (whatever that is), landed
and had regular war for a day, then
returned to Britain. Losses were
heavy on both sides, it was reported.
Morv'en, Anson county, has ginned
and sold the first bale of cotton
every year since I was old enough
to read, but I have not heard that
news since I quit new'spapering. Mor-
ven is there still, but I don’t know
about the cotton.
People cannot stand the thought
of work. It makes you sweat in
hot weather and that is the only
time stuff grows. And as folks can’t
stand work, we must make arrange
ments to quit eating. It takes sweat
to get v'egetables, bread and meat.
The Germans seem to be making
no progress in their invasion of Rus
sia, but the Russians annihilate a
number some days, retreat the next,
and the Germans at great cost con
tinue to gain. However, there are
those who say Germany will never
conquer Russia, nor will the Japs con
quer China.
As I have written before, no man
can accurately state the value of a
day’s work. Some are more skilled,
and therefore can earn more. Others
because of scientific knowledge are
more valuable.
On the night of August 8-9, after
the Marines had gained a foothold on
the Solomon, Islands, a strong Japan
ese fleet was sighted, intent on dis
lodging the Americans and the Ameri
can Navy moved out to intercept
them, and in pitch darkness one of
die most terrific sea battles of all
time was fought, therefore losses were
heavy. They say whoever fired first
won a victory. Japs may boast, but
American ships have held that part
of the Pacific since that memorable
nitfit
Two Carolina Negroes were “decr
orated for bravery in action,” says
news from the Southwest Pacific.
One of the three victories over'the
Jap leaders Anhy and Navy
say the occupation of the Solomons
means a succession of occupations to
-follow, until Tokyo is reached.
Hoke County soldiers are scattered
nearly all around the globe. That
they are the equal of any troops on
this earth, 1 haven’t a doubt. That
was the record they made in World
War I.
.It seems to me murders, crime of
all sorts, is more common since the
war started, and accidental deaths
are certainly more frequent. But
the News and Observer says there is
not so much sabotage as during the
World War I.
The Rt. Rev. William T. Manning,
Episcopal Bishop of New York, says
Senator Robert R. Reynolds (D-N. C.)
by a speech in the Senate, “will
cause ill will and bitterness between
us and our allies.” Reynolds said in
a speech in the U. S. Senate a few
days ago that the United States should
ask Great Britain to give immediate
independence. Bishop Manning said
the Senator’s speech was sabotage.
Until comparatively recent years,
Japanese lived apart from all the
world. We wish they had kept that
up. The peoples of the world thought
they had possibilities, but they seem
to be devoid of character.
China is retaking much of her lost
territory by defeating the Japs. Those
heathens will be on sick lot after
they have been driven from all the
- captured China and East Indies. But
just that is in store for them.
yield is an important item. All in
demnities are payable in wheat, or
the cash equivalent, and this pro
tects the grower against loss of an
important commodity.”
When contracts are written on the
1943 crop, the 1944 and 1945 yields
also are automatically insured, Scott
said. Premiums are payable annu
ally, and the insurance may be can
celled by the grower if notice is
given to seeding the second year’s
crop. ,
Premium rates in North Carolina
range from four-tenths to six-tenths
of a bushel per acre, which at pres
ent prices is between 40 and 60
cents per acre. If the grower desires,
he may obtain insurance without a
cash payment, premiums being de
ducted from any indemnities or any
payments due him under the Agri
cultural Conservation Program, Scott
said. '
have developed, a very satisfactory
variety that is resistant to the Black
Shank disease. This variety, as yet
unnamed, may be released for the
1943 season.
‘^A resistant variety of Granville
Wilt and Mosiac also appears in
sight,” said Dr. Baver. “The three
diseases—Black Shank, Granville
Wilt and MosiacL^ctost the tobacco
farmers of the flue-cured area well
over a million dollars annually.”

New Flue-Cured
Tobacco Varieties
Are Developed
Two new varieties of flue-cured
tobacco have been developed by the
N. C. Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, in co-operation with the Bu
reau of Plant Industry of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, it is an
nounced by Dr. L. D. Baver, Ex
periment Station director of N. C.
State College. One of the varieties,
now bearing the name “No. 401,” will
likely add $40 to $50 per acre to
the income of tobacco growers, as
compared with a number of other
varieties they are growing. Dr. Baver
reported.
Both the No. 401 variety and the
No. 400, the other new variety, have
some resistance to diseases, the re
search leader said. Th No. 400 is
highly resistant to the black rot
disease. The black root rot infests
areas in the Old Belt (Piedmont area)
and the No. 400 variety is not recom
mended for the New Brgiht or Border
belts.
The No. 401 variety, however, is
recommended for all flue-cured belts.
Dr. Baver said. It may be planted
anywhere in the flue-cured area.
Th No. 401 variety was developed
from a cross between the Cash and
No. 400 varieties, and both of these
varieties show some resistance to
leaf spot diseases.

nounced that the Experiment Station

4943 Yields
I
More than 1.500 North Carolina
farmers already have obtained insur
ance on thei r 1943 wheat crops,
affording them protection against
losses due to causes over which they
have no control, according to G. T.
Scott, chairman of the State AAA
Committee, with headquarters at
State College. ■
The insurance is being offered far
mers by the Federal Crop Insurance
Corporatoin through county and com
munity AAA committeemen, and pro
tects yields against damage from hail,
windstorm, drouth, floods and other
similar causes. The contracts guar
antee growers 75 per cent of the
normal yield established for each
farm.
“Crop insurance is a vital part of
wartime farming,” Scott said. “A1
though the nation has vast reserves
of wheat, loss of land, labor and
materials has no part in our agri
cultural production program. The in

prevent, and even if he uses all his
