Blue Mold Scarce
In Tobacco Plants
Lumberton, April 18. Tobacco
transplanting will get underway in
earnest in the Lumberton area during
the next week, with Indications that
farmers will have plenty of plants in
good condition for setting out when
the time arrives.
This forecast is the feature ot the
d bi-monthly tobacco crop con-
tion report ust issued by Jasper
C. Hutto, supervisor of the Lumberton
tobacco market. The Lumberton re
ports are based on field observation
and investigation by approximately
150 tobacco farmers.
"Considerable transplanting has al
ready been done to the south and east
of Lumberton," the report said, "but
the territory as a whole will do the
biggest job from April 20 to May

The supervisor said blue mold
was not dong any great harm, and
that insects have damaged tobacco
plants this year less than in any year
in recent time. The report said also
that rains have been abundant in
all directions and that there are no
dry spots. Tobacco plants on the
whole are small, but healthy.
'Scarcity of labor is the biggest
hindrnnae, of course," the report said,
"but the older men will call for more
help than ever from the women and
children. Some way the job will be
done."

Large Losses From
Pullorum Disease
The pullorum disease, commonly
called white diarrhea, causes larger
losses than any other poultry disease
and is especially bad during the first
four weeks in the life of the chick,
reports H. C- Gauger, poultry patho
logist at State College.
He points out that ehicks infected
with the disease generally have droop
ing wings and ruffled feathers. They
huddle together, chirp a good deal,
and act as if they were cold. Intern
ally, the chicks will show one or
more of the following abnormalities,
small gray spots on the lungs, heart
and gizzard; unabsorbed yolk and
swollen kidneys.
Spread of the disease may take
place in the incubator. Again, it
may spread during the brooding
period from infected droppings.
Range stock and adult birds may
also become infected by coming into
contact with dropping from infected
birds, and hence the need for clean
range, Gauger explains.
He suggests that poultry growers
kill and either burn or bury all sick
and undersized chicks. Allow at least
one square foot of floor space for
every two chicks started. Thorough
ly clean and disinfect the brooder
house and its equipment as frequent
ly as possible. If chicks have been
on the ground around the brooder
house, it is well to confine them un
til the disease is under control.
"This frequent cleaning and disin
fecting program will tend to check
the further spread of the disease in
the brooder house, but it will not
prevent the loss of chicks which be
came infected in the incubator,"
Gauger says.
In making purchases, ajk for pul-lorum-free
chicks.

War is a long way from North Carolina
-but in so many wayt it'i mightyclose
to us. Our men are fighting all over the
world our factories and (arms are -producing
an endless stream of supplies
our troops depend upon. But even that
isn't all it wouldn't be enough!
We have so much more to do right
here in North Carolina jobs that are
up to all of us, jobs that must be well
done. In the 4th War Bond Drive, for
' instance. North Carolinians bought
$172,000,000 worth 37 above our
pao4a but we're keeping right on buy
ing snore and morel We've gladly given
our money to the Red Cross and hun
dreds of thousands of fcours of our time
to making surgical dressings and kits for
our men overseas.
We've supported and worked for the
U.S.O. and various war relief groups.
We've built and maintained an efficient
Civilian Defense organization. We've

collected scrap and rubber, tin and fats.
Whatever has been asked. North Caro
lina has done and then some!
The men and women of the Greyhound
Lines, like their fellow-citizens of North
Carolina, have shared in all of these
activities. They've also shared in the
vital job of moving wartime manpower
in uniform or in work clothes. On
special occasions . they've transported
U.S.O. Camp Shows and brought part
ners to camp dances. Greyhound buses
by making near neighbors and good
neighbors of all the communities they
serve in this State by linking cities,
war plants, farm centers, and military
camps and bases are helping to keep
North Carolina's war efforts rolling to
ward Victory!
Employers Must Report
Name And S.S. No.
In Making Tax Returns
During the month of April, em
ployers who are subject to the Social
Security Act, will make their pay
roll tax reports for the first quarter
of 1944. Each employer, concerned,
is required by aw to report the name
and account number of every em
poyee, and the wages paid him during
th previous calender quarter. This
tax return is sent to the Bureau of
Internal Revenue; and then, the wage
data shown thereon is transmitted
by that agency to the Social Security
Board. Here is is recorded in an
account, maintained by this board for
each individual worker. Benefits
which will be paid in later years to
the insured worker or to his surviv
ors will be based upon his wage re
cord. An employer who fails to in
clude in his tax return, the name and
account number as well as the wages
of each employee may unwittingly
cause the loss of benefits, later on,
to an employee or to his family.
In this conection, Mr. Allen T.
Boger, Jr., manager of the Fayette,
ville office of the Social Security
Board said, also, that both the name
and the account number of every
wage earner covered by the Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance system is
necessary for Identification purposes.
"On the books of the Social Sec
urity Board there are thousands of
Smiths: there are hundreds of John
Smiths; and scores of John Arthur
Smiths;" he explained, "so in order to
keep the wage record straight for
each of these Smiths, the Board must
have the account number as well as
the right name of each. The sarnie is
true of other names, such as Jones,
Johnson, Brown, and Jackson. Many
persons have the same family name;
and a surprising number have hte
same first, middle, and last name.
That is why the Board must have both
the name and the account unmber of
the worker in order to identify his
wage record.
Martial Law
Ruled Invalid
HONOLULU, Apr. 13, Martial
law in Hawaii, starting point of the
Pacific war, was ruled invalid by a
federal judge but military leaders
proclaimed it still in force today and
said violations of general orders would
be subject to provos'. court trials.
The War Department prepared
to appeal a decision by Federal Judge
Delbcrt E. Metzger that a provost
court was without authority to try
a navy yard worker and sentence
him to prison on convction of assault,
ing two marine sentries.
The judge's ruling yesterday came
at the conclusion of a trial at which
Hawaii's military governor, Lt. Gen.
Robert C. Richardson testified martial
law was vital to protect the islands
from existing perils. Adm. Chester
W. Nimitz, another witness, had said
Pearl Harbor was in danger of suoh
attacks as the one which started
the war Dec. 7, 1941, so long as a
single Japanese aircraft carrier re
man is afloat.

Hunting Veins
Of Coal Field
Near Sanford
Drilling Has Started In Chatham
County By U S. Bureau Of
Mines.
GULF, N. C, April 13. Drills bit
into the soil and rocks of Chatham
county today probing for veins of an
old coal field which mining engineers
say might produce as many as 46,-
000,000 tons to help fill the nation's
fast depleting fuel bins.
The drilling, financed by the U. S.
Bureau of Mines, is the first explora
tion for coal in several generations
in North Carolina, the State Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment says. The Bureau of Mines
long since has become convinced thut
the Deep River coal was irretrievable.
First tests are being made about
two miles south of here, but others
will be made over aw ide area of Lee
and Chatham counjies in the central
section of the state. The deposits in
this area have been worked intermit
tently and unsuccessfully since Revo
lutionary days, but a series of dis
astrous explosions in 1925 and 1930
halted operations.
Recently old shafts were cleared
and around 25 tons of "token" coal
are being mined daily.
The Department of Conservation
and Development says the coal ex.
ploratory project is part of a wide
spread search by the Bureau of Mines
to uncover strategic minerals in
North Carolina, which long has been
regarded as a geological curiosity
because of the presence in the state
of 300 minerals, most of them in non
commercial quantities.
The program resulted from a pre
liminary survey ordered by Gover
nor Broughton last year. Drillings
uncovered one of the largest de
posits of Tungsten known in Amer
ica, in Vance county, which already
is in production. After the coal pro
ject, drillings will be made for iron
ore in the western part of the state.
can, formerly of Sheridan, Wyo.,
pointed out that both General Rich
ardson and Admiral Nimitz agreed
there was no danger of actual in
vasion.
Col. W. R. C. Morrison, executive
officer to General Richardson, said
the War Department would appeal
the decision immediately.
