CO S S 5 T iews-journal VOICE OF taitooM i' CUAMA VOICI OF fftlCDOM ornarr The Hoke County News The Hoke County Journal VOLUME XLVII; NUMBER 51 THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1053 RAEFORD, N. C. TEN CENTS PER COPY $3.00 PER YEAR The 1 0FII8IMV By the Editor Arnold McKay sent me a note this week asking if I missed the following in the papers recently: "Dallas S. Townsend, New York lawyer and graduate of old Rae ford Institute about 1908-09, and whose family and connections are remembered here, was recently named by President Eisenhower as an Assistant Attorney General in charge of alien property." Well, I didn't miss the news of the appointment, but I just didn't connect it with the Townsends who use 1 to be here. It is inter esting, and gets me to wondering how many other alumni of the old institute have gone on to hinh places without those who are still here ever knowing it. I'll bet a list of the former students at the school would be interesting to see. Got to talking to one just late ly, quite by accident. Knew him all the time, but didn't know that part of his life story. E. T. Mc Keithen, business manager of the Moore County Hospital, happen ed to be going to Washington on the same train with several of us from here, and he told me about going to school here from 1899 to about 1902. Knew most of the numerous aunts and uncles of mine who grew up here, being a contemporary of my Uncle Ru fus Dickson, now of High Point. Mr. McKeithan commented that Will Covington was cutting a fine figure with a beautiful and fast horse to his trotting rig, and that he had just bought a farm out near Bethel and was build ing a home there. He also remem bered having Sunday dinner sev eral times with my grandfather and grandmother and 13 children at their home between here and Bethel. The Jaycees put on. a fine af fair in their beauty contest last year. I wasn't here, being in Na tional Guard Camp at the time, but I know that Mary Sue Up church, the winner, went on and did well in the State contest, and that the community received some good publicity in the press of the State as a resuH. This year they are trying to do it again, and from what I can hear they are not having an easy time of it. The girls around here are not exact ly falling over themselves to en ter, for some reason. We have some pretty ones in the county, I know, and they should be en couraged to enter this beauty pa geant. It's good training for the girls, makes an enjoyable occa sion, and there is alweys the chance that a local beele might go on to become Miss America. It's a worthwhile project, it seems to me, and anything any of us can do to help the Jaycees put it over should be done. Many people around here have been talking about how nice it was here other summers when a deal was made with a cotton dust ing outfit to dust the town for insects, and about how nice it is not this year when it has not been done. Some think just about everyone would be willing to kick in on the cost of having it done this year, if somebody would just figure out how to do it and get the ball rolling. Good job, for any civic club. Here is one for the books. Clar ence English, 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Winford English of Shannon, Route one, went fishing at McNeill's pond ' last Thursday and caught a six-pound raccoon on a hook and line. Seems he raw the animal swim ming, put some pieces of fish on his hook and threw it in front of him. The coon took the bait, he says, and he hauled him to the hank, where his uncle helped out with a stick. That's one rea son people like to fish, I guess . . . you never know what you're li ( Continued On Page 4) Session Of Court Is Devoted To Traffic Violators Thirteen cases were heard and disposed of in Hoke County re corder's court Tuesday before Judge T.

Each grower is being asked to visit the county PMA office and report acreages of wheat seeded in the falls of 1950, 1951, and 1952. This should be done by May 25, 1953, according to Miss Louise Blue, local PMA secretary, as this information will be highly important in setting individual farm allotments of wheat in case acreage allotments and market ing quotas are proclaimed for the next crop. Wheat supplies are beginning to outstrip demand, and production controls for the 1954 crop probably will be nec essary, as directed by law. The Secretary of Agriculture is required by law to proclaim no later than July 1 a national marketing quota on wheat when ever the total supply exceeds the normal supply by more than 20 per cent. Legislation also directs the Secretary, not later than July 15, to proclaim a national acreage allotment for the 1954 crop of wheat. A national acreage allot ment is proclaimed every year except when emergency condi tions exist. The last year in which allotments actually were used was 1950. If quotas are proclaim ed as expected, a referendum among wheat growers who would be subject to quotas must be held by July 25. At least two-thirds of those voting must approve quo tas before they may be made ef fectice. If growers approve marketing quotas, price supports on the 1954 crop would be available to cooperators at 90 per cent of par ity. If growers failed to approve marketing quotas, they would be subject only to acreage allotments but the price support would drop to 50 per cent of parity. Growers of 15 acres or less are not affected by marketing quotas and would not vote in the refer endum.

FARM ITEMS County Agent SMALL GRAIN STORAGE In just a few weeks, Hoke County farmers will be harvesting this year's small grain crop. It appears now that the crop will be very good. Grain farmer? that are planning to store their grain on the farm should now be prepar ing their bins for the new grain crop. The bins should be sprayed with insecticide to keep down the infestation of insects. First clean out the bins good, getting all old grain out of the cracks, then spray the walls and floors with either one of the following ma terials: DDT, Methoxychlor,. or TDE. In using 50 wettable pow der, you would use 1 lb. of ma terial in 3 gals, of water. In us ing 25 emulsion, you would use 2 qts. in 3 gals, of water. Spray until surfaces are wet but will not run off. All of these materials will leave a residue on the wall which will remain effective for several weeks. The amount used will not create a human hazard if used only on the wall and floor of the bin. Many farmers will want to fumigate their grain after it is stored in the bins. Information on spraying the' bins and fumi gating the grain may be obtained from the County Agent's or PMA office. In storing small grain on the farm, remember: (1) Make bins tight. (2) Thoroughly clean and spray empty bins. (3) Get rid of all old grain as soon as possible. (4) Store only dry grain. (5) Fum igate small grains one month af ter harvest if possible. (6) In spect bins each month and retreat if live weevils or worms are found. If any Hoke County farmers are interested in buying metal storage bins for grain or corn, the information may be secured on these by going by the County Agent's or PMA office. Grain farmers in the past have been losing a lot of money each year from insect damage in farm stored grain. This loss in money and grain can be prevented by tight clean bins in good shape when the grain is put In. 47 MEMBERS OF SENIOR CLASS TO GRADUATE NEXT THURSDAY High School Ends Year With Win Over Tar Heel The Hoke High Bucks ended their season last Wednesday after noon with a tenth inning victory over Tar Heel, 6-5.
