Sutton, president of the Carolina Power and Light company, an nounced today that a third gen erating unit would be installed in the company’s steam electric generating plant here. This unit will have a capacity ;,of : lOOjPflO horsepower, ^ which means a 75 peb cent increase in the Lumberton plant’s capacity. This new unit should be in pro duction by the end of 1952, Sut ton said. Equipment already has been ordered and engineers of Ebasco, Inc., builders of the orig inal plant here, will be moving in soon for preliminary work, with several hundred construc tion men and technicians to follow in a few months. The Lumberton plant was basically designed for two 67,000 horsepower and two 100,000 horsepower units. The first one went into production Sep tember 30. 1949. and the second on June 10 of this year. When the new unit begins pro ducing current, Sutton disclosed that the Lumberton plant, operat ing at capacity 85 per cent of the time, will be 'capable of pro ducing over one and a quarter billion kilowatt hours per year. At present construction on a 200,000 horsepower C. P. & L. plant at Goldsboro is under way and the first unit of 100.000 horse power is expected to be in pro duction by the middle of 1951, with the second unit in produc tion a year later. These two Golds boro generators. Sutton said to day, will be capable of producing over a billion kilowatt hours per year—or about 550 million kilo watt hours each, when operating at capacity 85 per cent of the time. The C. P. & L. president pointed out that until the first unit at Lumberton went to work, the company had no generating plant east of the Cape Fear steam elec tric plant near Moncure. C. P. & L.’s far-eastern plants will be the two largest now on its system, and both are designed for further expansion when need ed. 0 J. J. STAFFORD DIES Tom Campbell is the new man ager of the Colonial Frozen Foods plant here, replacing James Hen drix who has accepted a position at Fort Bragg. J. J Stafford, husband of the former Mattie Keith of Raeford and a former resident of Raeford, died yesterday morning at Duke hospital after an illness of five weeks. He was 73 years of age. Funeral will be at his home in Garland at three o’clock this af ternoon. 0 Mrs. Harold Stone and two sons of Falls Church, Virginia, arrived last Wednesday for a visit with Mrs. Stone’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Warren. . Farm cooperatives are “the greatest force today' in helping to keep our private enterprise system aliye,” a Farm and Home week speaker said in Raleigh Tuesday. Dr. J. Ken Stern of Washing ton, president of . the American institute of co-operation, assert ed that development of coopera tives “is not only for farmers but for society as a whole.” He was heard by some 2,500 North Carolina farm men and women attending the 42nd annual Farm and Home week at N. C. State college. On Tuesday -night the men and women heard an address by Dean Rusk, assistant secretary of state for Far Eastern affairs. On Wednesday night the^ dele gates paid tribute to Dean I. O. Schaub, director of the State coll ege agricultural extension ser vice, and heard an address by Goverqpr Scott. Also appearing on the program yesterday were Elizabeth McGee of Spartanburg, S. C., the 1959 Maid of Cotton, who participated in a cotton style revue. Mrs. J. S. Gray of Franklin, president of the North Carolina Federation of Home Demonstration clubs, pre sided over the revue. The group went on tours of the Morehead planetarium at the Un iversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and also toured Duke University ,at Durham yestc’day afternoon.^ Following the governor’s ad dress last night and the tribute to D.ean Schaub, a fire-fighting demonstration'’" was conducted near the coliseum, in which the use of equipment for extinguishing rural fires was shown. A building was fired and allowed to bu’.n partially before the fire was brought under control by fo.g- producing devices. Dr. Stern told the delegates:. .. “Why do we need farm co-op eratives; I needn’t remind you that the ti’end today in this coun try, (and understand that I am not opposed to it) but the trend definitely is toward few'er and larger businesses. “The small businessman and the farmer have a problem in common of trying to hold their own in a competitive society wi’h big business and big labor..” The best choice for farmers, he continued, is to “combine our ef forts in purchasing our supplies, marketing our products, and per forming other services that are essential and needed in our farm operation.” Processing Draftees To Start Monday In Fayetteville Pre-induction processing in the Fayetteville_ area, comprising 26 counties of eastern North Caro lina, will begin August 7 intsead of a week later, as previously an nounced, and the number of se lectees has been boosted from 450 to approximately 1250.

(Continu^ on Page t) Tobacco Red Hot On Border Belt As Markets Open • *«• Sales Light On Opening Day But Several Markets Have Highest Average Ever Tobacco prices joined the ris ing trend and leaped to the high est peak in years for an average of approxi-ma-tely .S56 per hundred pounds as auctions began Tues day pn Border Belt markets in North Carolina and South Caro lina. Nearly 50 per cent of the Bor der Belt crop remains in the field and^ farm, fa.milies are fighting a race with hot days to reduce loss from over-ripening. • T’nis kept farmers off the tobacco .market in large numbers, cut the tobacco placed on the floor brought prices that sent'a feeling of opti.mism surging through all m.arkets. With most bids ranging from $5 to $10 above governm.ent sup port prices, commion tobacco sold all day from $35 to $60 per ICC pounds and choice grades soared to an average top of $63 to $70. Some choice grades brought prices as high as $75 and $30, with a top of $91 seen. Light Sales Tuesday’s offerings were less than last year’s opening gross of 10,178,163 pounds, which sold of ficially for $51.84, because of the big percentage of the crop still on the stalk. Warehousemen on all markets anticipate light sales for the next two weeks. And the concensus was that prices will continue good if Tuesday’s sales can be taken-as an example. W. P. Hedrick, tobacco market ing specialist with the State De partment of Agriculture had es timated total sales to range be tween 6-million and 8-million pounds. The Border Belt’s total crop has been esti.-nated hy the government at 238-million pounds. The 1949 crop totaled 243.325.000 pounds. Great Britain has made new threats of reducing her consump tion of American flue-cured to bacco.. but . there was scattered buying by the British companies on various markets. ‘Romp Sale’ A ‘rump’ or extra sole was at tempted by the Hemingway,. S. C.. market Tuesday, but only one major buying company and three independent companies were re presented. The Hemingway mar ket attempted an extra sale last season, but abandoned the plan after 24 days. Lake City. S. C., and Lumber- ton had announced earlier that they would attempt the extra sale but the plan was abandoned. “Rump” sales drew opposition from farmers last year when the price they got for tobacco on ex tra sales was $1 to $5 less per 100 pounds because of laci of repres- sentation by the majoring buying, companies. J. A. Winfield, marketing spec ialist for the United States and North Caroilna Department of Ag riculture, said that general qual ity was not as good as last year because of less cutters and more primings and nondescript. Few leaf grades were offered for the opening, with principal offerings being fair to fine lugs, low and fair primings and fair cutters. Few Tags Turned Few tags were turned to get the benefit of the government sup port program and some farmers admittedly turned their tags to signify rejection of bids offered so they could move their tobacco to another section of a warehouse in anticipation of a higher price. In South Carolina demand for medium and I'^w qualities—like that in North Carolinar—was good throughout the day. Some mariiets reported that the quality was bet ter than that last year.
