Yield Estimates Revised Upward as End Tobacco Sellincj Season Nears than a 32 per cent (Stop over last year’s poundage were made.' In September they were dropped even krwen—by some as much as 38 per cent. The 20 per cent acreage reduc tion, the penalizing of high yield ing varieties, the planting of non disease resistant types of tobacco and poor weather conditions that prevailed during much of the grow ing season were ,lumped together and given as sufficient justification for the pessimistic prediction of a 38 per cent drop in total fhie pured tobacco production. r Now, however other factors' are' causing these, same men to view a trifle more optimistically the production picture. They ore ad mitting that they did not take foil consideration of the fact that the tobacco; this year would weigh even if it did^not wtfgfc as much Mr e+aMr’> • ' ' •* ' idsafacter. <'■. • • 4” ' Tobacco program odSfiicials have been confronted in the past with this “Hebei Ingenuity” and through the years loop hole after loop hole has been cemented up with now .regulations to attempt to put an end to “sharp practices” by the tobacco growers. But every time OHe loophole is pegged some clever farmer finds .another. This year a small num ber ef farmers, blessed with an .early crop, finished housing their tobacco in mid-July.. Then they took “bush hogs” and clipped the Stalks off about six to eigh inches above the ground. i The rains came, the plentiful (fertilizer in the ground and the assist by the pruning operation (resulted in as many as two extra croppings of suckers, which were (‘tips” when they hit the ware house floor. for his entire this year. Which is not to be sneezed at*- by any means. Another side of the tobacco far mer that has been slower to come forth than such cleyer practices as the “sucker taps” has been greatly improved management of his entire farming operation, and (particularly of the tabaoco side of the farm. Careful attentieh to the tobacco crop from plant bed to warehouse floor,, replanting until every space allocated for a hill of tobacco is occupied, cropping carefully to re duce waste, care around the barn (to see that every leaf goes into (the bam and that every leaf comes out of the barn, the same atten tion to each leaf around the pack barn and so on to the warehouse floor are the rule rather than the exception now. • i«mr ministers of Jobes county churches met Monday evening |m: die Maysvllle Methodist church; With W.

Record, a Mass of Contradictions Interesting and tragic' to con template today is the record made earlier this year by Eisenhower and his chief legal aidfe Brojraell on the subject of civil rights and the use of troops to enforce them In February of this year Bww nell said, “I think you wifi-find file general rale is that the Governor) Of the state must request the'presi area to enforce th<>,orders of a federal court because I believe that the dommon sense of America will never require ,Jt."' * Brownell in further dodging Sa vin’s questions on this [subject said, "1 am rather disturbed by you even raising these points, because, as I said so many times, public Statements .made by persons who intimate that tber# Is any such tioughtin the minds of anyone here in Washington to use the militia in these case*:dws .apt represent tip true-state of the facts, and I frank ly think that the phly reason 1 can be brought into discussion at in eonhiM the Issue.” is any such thought in the minds of the Congress, the courts or the executive branch of the govern ment.” (Ervin persisted and Brownell continued to evade the direct an swer sought by the North Carolin ian by saying, “There are other statutes that would have to be con sidered in connection with that, and I think you will find the general rule is'that the governor of the state must request the president. We do not want to take away any supplementary aid whit* the .gov ernor of a state may Want/’ boring in and Browr mad and saM the Tar Heel and RBWttas'fil^in The the bleeding-heart liberal chairman of the committee before which Brownell was sweating, Tom Hennings of Missouri, intervened to help bis friend Brownell by ask ing Ervin if he was attempting to establish “the business that the President of the United States might enforce those things a: the point of a bayonet?” Brownell’s bald head got redder and he heatedly replied, “Since there is net the slightest suggestion: on the part of any responsible pub lic official of bringing in matters of the - militia into the civil rights area, I think it wopbi be hisleadt ing really to continue with an' ab stract discussion of a matter not pertinent to the main line of our iym inquiry, here ibis morning. ” Ervhu%st insisting an answer and then Brawnell “I believe there is in here an im plication that the President of the United States would act recklessly and unconstitutionally, and 1 jiyst cannot sit by and have the record contain any such implication as that.” And With that pious incan tation of the name of the “Great White Father” - , “Honest Herb” threatened to leave with, “1 really feel this has gone far enough. It. has no place in these proceedings, and I 'personally cannot stay here and allow any such implication to be drawn.” Then Brownell refused to answer any further questions in. that direction.
