FIRST AND LARGEST
first known school in North Carolina was in Pasquotank
County, 1705-08. North Carolina transports more children to
school in buses and at the lowest rate per child than any other
state. At Durham is the largest hosiery mill in-the world and
at Winston-Salem is the largest underwear facb^y in the
United States. The only tin mine in the United Stgtes is in
North Carolina.

The State College tobacco spec
ialist says good management will
enable tobacco growers to trans
plant this year’s larger crop from
much less plant bed yardage than
was sowrr last season. He urges
a'l growers to provide plenty of
water for their plants, take' n.eas-
iires to control insects, and rpp!,y
materials for blue mold control.
Bennett also advises growers to
take care of whatever old plant
bed cloth they may have on'hand.
Plant Beds Need
Good Management
An extension tobacco special
ist at State College this week urg
ed Tar Heel tobacco growers to
follow proper plant bed manage
ment and thus hfelp prevent the
occurrence of a possible shortage
of plant bed canvas during the
leason.
The specialist, Roy R. Bennett,
says growers in many areas of the
State are having difficulty obtain
ing sufficient plant bed cloth. A
check with manufacturers and
dealers indicates they are making
and distributing at least as much
can\ as as was made last year. 'A
9 per cent increase in tobacco
acreage allotments for 1951, how
ever, .will call for some increase
in plant bed yardage and will re
quire the use of more old canvas
than, was used last year.
Many dealers say they are mak
ing an effort to supply their cus
tomers and deliver canvas . i.o
growers within their area. Bennett
says this will help equalize distri
bution of the canvas that is avail
able. Otherwise, he adds, growers
in /the earlier seeding regions
would tend to buy up the cloth
in the later areas and accentuate
the shortage in local sections.
Bennett urges growers to buy
whatever canvas they need as
early as possible, so that some
redistribution of the supply can
Tar Heels Facing
New Farming Era
Opportunities for operating a
profitable farm business in North
Carolina are available to almost
anyone who desires to obtain a
living from the soil, three spec-;
ialists of N. C. State College de-
clore in a new circular issued this
week.
The publication. “Farming Op
portunities in North Carolina,” is
designed to 'describe brie.fly the
agricul'tural resources of the State,
indicate some of the major
changes occurring which may in
fluence agricultural opportunities
in the future, and discuss some o'
the more important factors to be,
considered in selection of a ‘farm
The authors are Walter H.
Pierce, associate professor of ag
ricultural economics; Moyle^ S.-
Williams, farm management spec
ialist; and W. D, Lee, associate
professor of agronomy. Their 40-
page publication replaces a pre
vious circular on “Selecting a
Farm in North Carolina.”
Pierce, Williams, and Lee as
sert that North Carolina is at the
threshold of a new era in-agri-
cultural development, with tech
nological progress and economic
developments providing both the
necessity and the opportunity for
significant changes in the State’s
farming system.
The authors point out that the
Tar Heel climate, though varied,
is charactized by a long growing
season, abundaht rainfall, and
conditions generally favorable to
agriculture. The ' average mean
annual te.mperaturc is .59 degrees
and the average annual precipita
tion is 49.63. incho.s. The soils are
suited to a wide range of crops.

lar may be obtained fro.ji the local
