ation near Greenville,Tenn. J
Representatives from
the USD A, Experiment '
Station, and Extension Ser
vice from all Burley To- "
bacco growing states were
in attendance.
The Conference was fea
tured by demonstrations
on priming and stringing
tobacco, identification of
diseases, fertilization, top
ping and suckering, curing,
types of barns, use of heat,
grading and marketing,
and plant bed management.
The Conference was very
much concerned over the
prevention of the spread of
Black Shank disease. This
disease was observed in the
field and in experimental
plots. It makes plants turn
yellow, wilt and die with a
characteristic blackening of
the roots and stem near the
ground, hence the name
black shank.
At first the disease ap
pears on only a few plants
in the field with a greater
loss the following year. Pre
ventive measures fairmlers
can use are to keep equip
ment and people out of the
field, have the disease def
initely identified, bring no
baskets to the farm from
places where black shank
infection is known to be
found- get plants
Tfom places that might
have infection, and avoid
drainage from infected fie
lds. Do not use water from
streams that might drain
from infected areas to wa
ter beds or transplant. Once
the field becomes infected
it should be put into grass

staple food, which keeps

specialists of the U. S. De

say. However, they remind
housewives that sugar kept
too long hardens or “cakes”
and then is more difficult
to use. This is particularly
true in humid summer wea
ther when sugar may be
come damp.
Retail grocers the coun
fly over have reported that
demand for sugar has tri
pled in recent weeks. Many
housewives have been buy
ing extra for preserving,
as usual at this season, but
current demand is far be
yond normal. Heavy runs
on sugar are reported from
large cities where few wo
men do canning. Many re
tailors have not been forced
to ration sugar to their
cusomers simply because
they have not been abftrto
bring in supplies fast
enough. -
The run on sugar has ca
used unnecessary short
ages in some places and will
mean that the woman who
has overstocked eventually
will have to use up hard,
caked sugar—or will waste
it.
The temporary shortages
have oowo iboeouao ,
eries have been unable to
to refine and deliver sugar
to keep pace with current
buying. There is no overall
shortage—in fact, supplies
of sugar are more than am

and other supplies which
could be sent if needed.

sey, is the most content and satis
fied man in Newport, Ky. In fact,
he says there isn’t a thing in the
world that can irritate or up6et
him now that he is on the HAD
ACOL band wagon. If there ever
was a man who thought HADA
COL is the most wonderful thinj
in the world, it is Link Robinson,
since he learned that his system
lacked Vitamins fi», B«, Iron, and
Niacin.
Here is what Mr. Robinson has
to say about HADACOL, which is
now supplying liberal quantities
of these essential elements: “I
have been a steel worker for over
twenty years. When you are a
steel worker, you have to do
plenty of good, hard work, and
you need lots of good, substantial
food. But when a stomach is in
as bad a shape as mine was . . .
I couldn't eat, I had gas pains,
stomach bloating and nervous
ness: well, I just couldn’t eat the
proper foods I needed. My boss
told me about HADACOL and I
started taking it immediately. Af
ter the second bottle I could tell
a definite improvement. Now I
can eat the foods I need to eat
to really be on the job. In fact.
I can eat anything I want to. I
am net nervous anymore, either.
Bist of all, I haven’t got those
terrific gas pains and no more
stomach bloating. HADACOL is
the best ever. I recommend HAD

Countless thousands are bene
fiting from HADACOL . . . even
hundreds of doctors are recom
mending HADACOL to their pa
tients whose systems lack Vita
mins Bi, B«, Iron, and Niacin.
HADACOL is so wonderful be
cause HADACOL helps build up
the hemoglobin content of your
blood (when Iron is needed) to
carry these precious Vitamins
and Minerals to every organ, and
every part of your body— to the
heart, liver, kidneys and lungs,
even to the eyes, hair and nails.
Give remarkable HADACOL a
chance and if you don’t feel bet
ter with the first few bottles you
take —you get your money back.

THE YANCEY RECORD
AROUND THE DISTRICT
By George Vitas, U. S.
’ Forest Ranger
Recently a party of 26
University of North Caro
lina students, headed by Dr
D. S. Gibson, Professor of
Geography, toured the Mt.
Mitchell District. This was
the third annual tour of the
District by Dr. Gibson. The
students got a down-to
earth look at the Forest.
We were particularly pleas
ed to find that the class
consisted of folke of all ages
Mrs. L. R. Sturdivant,
who taught at the Yancey
Collegiate Institute in Bur
nsville, way back in 1912
and 1913, was one of the
students. After a pleasant
chat with Mrs. Sturdivant,
we are inclined to think
that one of the secrets of
staying perpetually young
conies with the desire to
learn new things, no mat
ter what your age.
Carl Dalton, who manag
es the camp for the Opti
mist Club, tells us that one
of his night visitors is a
young black bear who bar
rels into camp after every
one has turned in and com
mences to paw around in
the cans that are buried in
the garbage pit. He sets up
quite a racket and manages
to pretty well churn up the
earth around the pit by
daylight.

Plymouth Announces Production
of Luxurious New Utility Car
Production is under way and ship
ments are being made to dealers
throughout the country of the
Plymouth Special Suburban, accord
ing to R. C. Somerville, general
sales manager of Plymouth Motor
Corp.
The Special Suburban is an all
metal utility vehicle with luxury
sedan refinements. Patterned along
the lines of the DeLuxe Suburban,
which Plymouth first introduced in
1949, the new Special Suburban has
retained the styling and utility fea
tures which made the DeLuxe Sub
urban an immediate success. In
addition, there are 37 different im
provements which add to the car’s
beauty and comfort.
The exterior of the new car is
richly trimmed with chrome and
there are many interior refinements.
Seat cushions and backs are up
holstered in tan Bedford cord; the
instrument panel, the windshield
garnish moldings and the door
THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1950‘
garnish moldings are tan leather
grained, and the radio grille is
chrome-plated. There are arm rests
for both front and rear seats, and
assist straps for the rear seats. Ap
pointments throughout the interior
have been carefully planned to pro
vide maximum comfort and, beauty.
The Special Suburban offers the
same three-cars-in-one utility that
characterizes the DeLuxe Suburban.
It has the riding comfort of a fine
sedan, and is easily converted into
• a roomy cargo carrier. j
