THURSDAY, AUGUST 13TH, 1936 The streets of this city that are now being repaired will certainly make a good impres sion on visitors who might drive around a bit. If we had street signs on these streets the impression would probably be even greater. The signs have been here, but there seems to he some difficulty in the way of getting them up. Soon the cry of the tobacco auctioneer will ring out once again and tH% salt of the 1936 tobacco crop will be started. Prices in Georgia indicate that tobacco will sell much better this year than last year. Geor gia seems to be running about a twenty-five cept average and this belt will probably beat Georgia. If the average does hold to twenty-five cents there will be some money made. Roxboro has always had a good market. It is not one of the largest in the state, neither is it the smallest, but a number of things could be done to im- . prove this market. That same statement will hold true of practically every market as none are as good as they could be. Our market will be stronger this year than last year due to the fact that O. W. Dudley and Co. will have a buyer here.. This company will handle a number of accounts and every little bit will help. Many farmers are curing this week. They will be busy curing for the next month or more and they all report that tobacco is looking good. Roxboro continues to go ahead. One new busiriess con cern opened here last week. Another, a beauty parlor, is to open soon and an auto parts stotlQi will open at once. Only one vacant store building in the business district and fall, the busy season, will soon be here. A few months ago one could hardly find a dwelling for rent. Even apartments were scarce, but that situation has been well taken care of. Small houses have literally jumped up and more are now being built. One finds vtyy little trouble in se curing a dwelling in Roxboro. The housing situation has been well taken care of and we be lieve that thjt store situation will be handled the same way. Readers of many papers have learned the story, a sorry affair, of Mary Astor and Dr. Thorpe. It seems as tho everything has been brought out that could be and not many things were brought out to be proud of. Daughter Marylyn will pay the price more than any of the others involved in the affair. The Clevenger murder has been solved. Martin Moore, a colored boy, has admitted to the crime. It was an awful thing and it looks like Moore is head ed straight for the gas cham ber. Did you see the picture of Moore in the daily papers? Moore doesn’t look like a hard criminal, but rather looks like a man who didn’t know what it was all about. If ever a face had ignorance written upon it that picture had it. It has been said that above the door of the cell where Mar tin Moore is, sontej other pris oner has written, “The Wages of Sin is Death.” Moore didn’t display very much intelligence in evading the officers, but it did appear as though luck was going to be with him. ,Luck changed its course and now he will prob- ably sit in a chair in an air tight room with a little bowl be tween his legs. The bowl will be filled with acid. A man out side the room will pull a handle, a pill or two will fall into the bowl, smoke will rise, Moore will try to hold his breath, he will have to breathe, he will die. More campaigns are being started for safe driving. More need to be started. People know how to drive, but they refuse to drive that way—and we con tinue to kill. o SEMORA NEWS Mrs. Coggins gave the R. A. group a chicken fry Monday.

T. HALL RETURNS FROM MEETING OF CREDIT ASSOCIATE Graham Production Credit As sociation Made Loans This Year Totaling $201,607.00. Returning from Morehejad City, where he attended a group meeting of directors of production credit as sociations, Mr. C. T. Hall, president of the Graham Production Credit Association, which serves Guilford, Rockingham, Randolph, Orange, Chatham, Durham, Alamance, Per son, and Caswell counties, said that the record made by the production credit associations in the first three years they operated is an indication of the service they can offer. In the third Farm Credit Admin istration district, comprising the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida, the total loans made by production credit associations in these states during the three years aggregated $34,155,- 143.00, while this year the associa tions have to date made loans total ing $13,697,865.00, Mr. Hall said. “The production credit associa tions,” said Mr. Hall, “have quickly extended the benefits of coopera tive! credit to the short-term lend ing field. Farmers in every county have access to this credit. For the first time in the records of Ameri can agriculture, loans for produc tion purposes have been made avail able to individual farmers in all parts of the country at the interest rate of 5 per cent a year—and the borrower pays interest only for the time he actually has the money. “The production credit associa tions do not lend government money. All of the funds they loan are obtained from investors through the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank. The associations discount their members’ paper.” Mr. Hall said that the Graham Production Credit Association had made loans to date this year total ling $201,607.00 to 1217 farmers.

Leaf Crop Poorest In History Except For Year Os 1932 Report of Tobacco District as a Whole Coming From Washington Shows Production of 1,106.801,000 Pounds as Compared With 1,296,810,000 For 1935. Had Unfavorable Start Because of Dry Weather. Had Unfavorable Start Because of Dry Weather. FLUE-CURED AT NEW LOW Production of 1,106,801,000 Pounds Compares With 1,296,810,000 in 1935. Washington, Aug. 10—The agri culture department forecast today a tobacco crop of only 1,106,801,000 pounds this year and said the Au gust 1 condition was 61.7 percent of normal, the lowest for this date in history with the exception of 1932. The estimated crop on the basis of the August 1 condition was 4,- 313,000 pounds less than was fore cast on the basis of the July 1 con dition. It compares with a harvest of 1,296,810,000 pounds in 1935 and a five-year (1928-32) average pro duction of 1,427,174,000 pounds. The condition on August 1, 1932 —the one year when it was esti. mated at a lower percentage than this—was 56.9 percent. “Tobacco had an unfavorable start due chiefly to dry weather in June, south of the Ohio and Po tomac rivers,” said the depart ment. “The present forecast x x x indicates a larger crop than was harvested in either 1932 or 1934 but it would still be the third small est crop in recent years.” The department summarized the indicated production of the various types of tobacco as follows: “The production forecast of flue cured tobacco is 658,223,000 pounds, which is slightly less than was in dicated on July 1, but about 18.9 percent less than the 1934 crop of 811,195,000 pounds and 3.1 percent less than the five-year (1928-32) average production. This class of tobacco is much later than usual and, due to poor stands and unfav orable weather conditions in the early stages of its growth, the yield per acre will be considerably less than the usually high yields of the previous two years. Fire-Cured At New Low “Prospects are for the lowest pro duction of record of both the fire cured and dark air-cured classes Os tobacco. August 1 conditions indi cated a production of 98,472,000 pounds of fire-cured, compared with 118,194,000 pounds harvested in 1935 and the five-year average production of 160,588,000 pounds. The indicated production of dark air-cured is 25,625,000 pounds com pared with 31,020,000 pounds in 1935, and the five-year average pro- J duction of 54,111,000 pounds. “The indicated production of bur ley tobacco is 214,729,000 pounds which is 1.0 percent less than was indicated on July 1, 3.1 percent lest than the 1935 crop, and 36.3 per cent less than the five-year average production. Weather conditions during July continued unfavorable over the entire hurley area and the August 1 condition of 68.8 percent of normal is materially below aver age. “The indicated production of the cigar classes of tobacco is l 84,525,000 pounds, compared with 87,943,000 pounds harvested last year and the five-year average production of 170,572,000 pounds.” The indicated 1936 yield and the 1935 harvest respectively by states (in 1,000 pounds) indicated: Virginia, 91,834 and 104,765; North Carolina, 450,548 and 577,435; South Carolina, 65,975 and 89,760; Geor gia, 75,360 and 69,000; Kentucky, 217,300 and 226,718; Tennessee, 74,- 190 and 89,173. o The terracing unit in Guilford county is subsoiling land from 18 to 26 inches deep at a cost of $2 an acre for 18 inches and $2.75 an acre at a greater depth.
