Cash income from the sale of wool in 1940 totaled $61,000 compared with $57,000 for the previous year. “Tar Heel farmers sheared 44,- 000 head of sheep during 1940, cr 8,000 less than in 1939,” Handy said. “The wool yield in 1940 was 211,000 pounds compared with a production of 239,000 in 1939, or a decrease of 12 per cent. “Sheep numbers failed to de cline for the first time since 1938. “The number of sheep on all PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N- C. North Carolina farms January 1 was estimated at 50,000, approx imately the same as last year,’ he added. “Os special significance is the decline in sheep numbers which has taken place since the Civil War period. For the 20-year per iod following the Civil War—lß6s to 1885—the number of sheep cn farms averaged approximately 500,000 head or ten times more than the approximately 50,000 on all farms the first of the year. “The 1940 value of all sheep in the State was placed at $298,000, or $3,000 above last year.” Most of the sheep raisers are located in the northwestern counties of the State. The summary of wool proiuc tion and the number of sheep in the United States follows: “For the United States, the 1940 production of wool, both shorn and pulled, totaled 449,- 763,000 pounds and was the larg est on record, according to the U. S. Agricultural Marketing Ser vice. Os this total 387,703,000 pounds were shorn wool and 62,- 000,000 pounds pulled wool. “The number of sheep shorn in 1940 was 48,479,000 compared with 47,394,000 in 1939. The average quantity of wool shorn per sheep in 1940 was eight pounds compar ed with 7.96 in 1939. Sheep grow ers received a cash income of $110,058,000 from the sale of wool in 1940 compared with $84,324,- 000 for the previous year.” o Strike Increase Foreseen Today By F. H. Shuford Raleigh, April 3— An increa.: ing number of strikes in North Carolina, the by-proctuct of an expanding economy, was fore seen today by Labor Commission er Forrest H. Shuford unless money is obtained to establish a State labor conciliation service. An act of the recent General Assembly directed the Labor De partment to establish such a ser vice, but no appropriation was provided. Shuford said $7,000 to SB,OOO annually would be need ed. The labor commissioner said he had been asked what his depart ment was doing about the strike at the American Enka Corpora tion’s plant, near Asheville, where 1,500 employes walked out Saturday. “We have an inspector station ed at Asheville, but so far neith er side had invited our assistance in helping conciliate the dispute, “Shuford said. “It is doubtful how much help we could be because we are swamped with our regu lar duties and we don't have a man who is especially trained for labor conciliation.” It's Easter ;jmm f The most exciting Hat /■H \ 'JL I y> Styles seen this Spring.

The miltiary revolt agamst the Axis alignment began at 2 a. m., Thursday, and took con trol with the force of the army behind it. The public, vigorously disap proving the Axis pact, hysteri cally cheered the new regime and called with increasing fervor for war against Germany. o Demonstrations Eight Forsyth County farmers have received TVA triple super phosphate and calcium metapho.s hate for demonstration purposes, reports S. R. Mitchiner, assistant farm agent. Shuford said he would discuss the problem with Governor Broughton with a view to ob taining the required allocation from the emergency and conting ency fund. Including the strike at the Enka Rayon Plant, there have been six strikes of more or less size this year in North Carolina. Char lotte had a trucker’s strike, Holly Ridge a construction strike, and Burlington and Greensboro tex t;le disputes which kept large numbers from work. THURSDAY APRIL 3, 1941. King and Queen Ignored London, April 3—Big black headlines and long stories telling of the anti-Axis coup in Yugo slavia and of British successes a gainst Italy in Africa crowded pictures of Britain’s King and Queen out of the British press to day.
