.GUEST SPEAKER BEFORE GRANGE Harry B. Caldwell, Master Of State Group, Highlights Boonville Meeting M A R K E T IS DISCUSSED ¥ Harry B. Caldwell, Master of the North Carolina State Grange, was guest speaker to a large au dience, at an open meeting of the Boonville Grange Wednesday night. He stated that two issues of paramount interest to the farmers of North Carolina are the continued good prices of tobacco and the equalization of the sales tax. In the first place, Mr. Cald well told the group, unless some thing is done by our government try to hold our foreign market n tobacco, we stand a good chance of losing that after the war. “If this happens,” declared Mr. Caldwell, “tobacco farmers may expect'to have every other acre of ( tobacco they are raising now cut off, because America uses only 50 per cent of our annual tobacco crop. In the second place the method of levying the sales tax in North Carolina is unjust, and works to the disadvantage of the farmer. As an illustration, he said, a farmer buying a tractor must pay full sales tax on his pur chase, but on the other hand, a swamill operator can purchase a tractor for his work, free of tax. The prosperity of the nation de pends upon the prosperity of the pK farmer. In order for the farmer to become prosperous, he must have the necessary representation in the Legislative halls of the na tion, thus assuring him of a fair * price for his products.” Mr. Caldwell told the group that “the Grange is the oldest and # is the only farm fraternity in the • world. The Grange has lived for NOTICE We have bought the cafe known as the “Boggs Cafe” and will now run it as the “Busy Bee Lunch.” We will try to serve you with the best foods possible.

Grange together with all the Granges of the nation are work ing for a better rounded com munity life. The Grange has a program for every phase of com munity life which seeks to give farmers equal opportunities with other groups in all matters af fecting economic and social wel fare; it is a loyal ally of the church and always the unfailing supporter of the school. The Grange is striving to build up the youth of the nation to a higher moral standard.” “It is only a matter of time be fore we stand on the threshold of complete military victory, which has been brought about greatly by the sacrifices and endeavor of our home front, as well as by the valor of our fighting men. The testing times are before us now and we must be on guard to see that we do not forget God. We must rely.on him for strength to accomplish our work. As the day of victory looms closer, we must not forget that we, the farmers, have the greatest responsibility Antique Music Box Displayed At Store An antique music box, encased in a hand-carved mahogany cab inet of elaborate design, is now on display at Isenhour’s, Jew elers, here.

It is more necessary than ever that the farmers meet their food produc tion goals for 1945.” Mr. Caldwell complimented the Boonville Grange on its excellent progress and said that there was every indication that the local Grange was on a firm foundation.

STOKER IS USED FOR LEAF BARN System For Firing Coal To Cure Tobacco Said To Have Advantages Coal stokers seem to offer many advantages compared to other methods of heating tobacco barns, especially under labor shortage conditions and a scarcity of wood, says a new bulletin of the Agri cultural Experiment Station at State College. The publication points out that troubles with stokers are due to the installation of over-si^e stok ers, improper design of the fur nace for stoker use, insufficient flues, and improper draft regula tion. A 30 pound-per-hour stoker is generally adequate for an or dinary four-room bam and a 40 pound size for a five room bam. For economy in fuel consump tion, several definite things must be taken into consideration. Line the inside of the bam with alumi num foil. Fill the spaces between the studs wil “rock wool.” Give the correct elevation to the heat ing system. Regulate the draft with a damper in the stack. Pro vide plenty of flue pipe in the barn. Use a proper size small stoker with a time clock control. Give no more ventilation than is required for proper drying. The time clock gives excellent control of fire during the period «f yellowing. It provides an auto matic rise of temperature as the leaf dries, thus requiring less at tention. There is "an even drying rate both night and day. It is the least expensive and most depend able of all control systems.
