Tobacco Farmers Really Contused Over Best Variety to Plant This Year Lenoir County Farm Agent Joe Koonce Jr. this week ad mitted (that most local tobacco growers are confused and he al so admitted that there Is plenty of good reason for them' to be The controversy stems around whait used to be a very simple Question: What kind of tobacco to plant. And It’s Just about time now for the farmer to start mak ing up tala mind what kind of seed he will have In his plant bed But from State College, where the most arid biggest brains on the tobacco growing business are located, there Is a compli Flrat, one of their top men says to farmers that Coker 130 and Coker 140 varieties of to bacco are no longer recommend ed for planting. Uhls does not tell the, farmer that he can’t use these varieties, but merely recommends that he turn to other brands. The reason for this peculiar recommendation is that atone tobacco buying com-, panics have said that they do not kke Coker 138 and 140 va rieties of tobacco. They say it Is too light hod has little or no flavor and aroma. But Just about the time this particular State College boy got through saying this another report is made from all of the fhie - cured tobacco experiment stations which show that Coker 139 and Coker 140 has not only greatly out - produced every - other kind of flue - cured to bacco but has sold tor a higher average, price per pound than any other kind. A difference of about $340 per acre — and to a tobacco fanner $240 per acre is a lot of difference. So the farmer wonders, and naturally wonders what to do. Whether to accept the first rec ommendation that he NOT plant this Coker 130 or to take an other took at those, experiment station figures whton show It to be vastly batter In pounds, In dollars and above all In resis tance to black shank and Gran ville wilt, County Agent Koonce says that1 one Lenoir County farmer has told him that he Is going to plant two varieties in his plant beds, and then when the plant ing time rolls around next April he'll be ready to Jump In the direction that looks best at that time. This Is an expensive burden for the tobacco farmer to have to assume. And Koorace says he doubts that many will go this: far. Koonoe says it is his belief that the majority of fanners will plant the un - recommended Ooker 139 In spite of the bad name It has been given in cer tain tobacco buying circles. But he thinks It will be less than the amount that wbuld have been planted If this confusing news had not popped up. There are two reasons why farmers will still be planting Ooker 139 or 140: First, there will not be nearly enough of the new Dixie Bright 244 to go around. This is the new variety that has been highly recom mended by the State College ex perts, and secondly, the record made by Ooker 139 this year — not only In the various North Carolina experiment stations but on the farms and in the pockets of those thousands of fanners who planted it, housed it and soM it. _ ----- _ -lr_- __ Ain’t the Work; It9s Decisions That’re Tough as Tuesday morning an official of a Kinston bank called the po lice department to report that he suspected someone ‘anas trying to “hustle” his little ole bonk out of $75. Police immediately began an Investigation which resulted in the arrest a half hour later of a young, lightened couple In a local hotel and a six month - old baby girl that \fras feared to be very sick. The slender thread of evi dence against this couple con sisted of a phone call to the bank, asking that a $75 check be cashed for a young woman supposedly the secretary of a bank official In Washington who was passing through Kin ston. The suspicion of the bank was arisen because the call was supposed to be coming from Washington, yet the bank of ficial knew it was a local call. Well the police had the young couple — not married — a sick baby that sounded as if it had pneumonia and looked as if it might be undernourished. The couple very freely admit ted that they were not married, but protested love and affec tion far each other as well as great concern for their tiny baby. They also informed the police that another infant was expected in the spring. The officers called the solici tor and told of the sick baby and their reluctance to put the cou ple in jail with the baby. The solicitor called a doctor and arranged an examination. The doctor found the ibaby not to be as sick as the police had feared. But still hanging over the police were the charges which might be placed against the oouple. They admitted living together in a local hotel, which made them automatically guilty of several violations of the law And they did not deny their attempt to clip the local branch, of Fort Knox. But still the coughing baby, the pregnant mother and the young and frightened father. The cops called the solicitor, they talked with the chief, they looked shout, searchtagly for ad vice and/or sympathy and found, only the latter. Finally, after an anxious hour the couple was booked but was; was sunumonejl back to court “some time next week’’. The solicitor agreed that if they didn’t turn up in court a non pross could be taken in the case. One policeman said, “Maybe they’ll go on back to Norfolk; where they say they come from. We got enough problems of our own here in Kinston without, three more from Norfolk”.
