Heater Well Co., Ral eigh, N. C. April 22 \ W- TOBACCO CROP, FLUE-CURED, MAY BE SLIGHTLY OFF J. J, Morgan Os State Agriculture Department Makes Prediction As To Crop For This Year. RALEIGH, Sept. 4 Prospects for the North Carolina flue-cur ed tobacco point to a crop of 555,570,000 pounds, approximate ly two per cent less than last year’s production, according to J. J. Morgan, statistician of the State Department of Agricul ture. The rainy period of July caus ed unusually rapid growth of flue-cured tobacco, Morgan said, and the dry hot weather the last of the month ripened the crop too fast, “producing a compara tively thin-leaf, light - weight crop.'" “The August outlook for the State indicated a flue-cured yield per care of 965 pounds, compared with 1052 pounds for 1942,’’ Morgan said. “In the western half of the Old Belt, weather conditions have be.en j fairly favorable, and crop pros- ; rrets are promising. In the east ern portion of the belt, however, j dry weather ha? reduced yields i sharply. Excessive rains in the j Eastern and Border Belts bleach- ; ed fertilizer, packed soils, and caused some tobacco to wilt. To bacco on light soils was badly stunted by the rains, and yields j are very poor. “Throughout the center of the Eastern belt, where rains were not unduly heavy, most farmers haver a godd crop of tobacco. Grovers generally are pleased with the color of tobacco coming out of the barn.’’ Morgan made; the following estimate? of yields per acre and i production' by belts compared j with 1942: Old and Middle Belts Yields j per acre, 880 pound.?; down seven per cent. Production, 201, 1 520.000 pounds: practically no change from last year. Eastern North Carolina—Yield j per acre, 1025: down eight per cent. Production, 289, 050,000; down two per cent. N. C. Border Belt Yield per : acre, 1000 pounds: down 13 per cent. Production, 65,000,000; down seven per cent. Burley tobacco Yield per acre, 1050 pounds; dawn nine ; per cent. Pjoduction,. 8,087.000; i up eight per cent. “With an acute shortage; of primers or croppers, and with the crop ripening so rapidly, farmers nave been hard pressed in earning the crop,” Morgan said. "Field lasses from drown ing, lack of labar and curing space have been heavy on some farm; and above average for the State.’’ HOGS The War Meat Boa:d is urging growers to market their hags early. The spring pig crop was 22 r.t-r cent larg . than last year. This Soldier May Be Your Boy | jf'- Kvi | bmp* - ' BUY WAR BUNDS i I’ve got a home, too, Mister!

Longhurst And All-Stars Win One Each So Far. The Longhurst Champions, on Thursday night, behind wallop ing bats and puzzling pitching defeated the Person County All Stars 15 to 3 in the second game of the series being played to raise funds for the p’rogram of teaching Bible at Roxboro High School. Thursday’s game was a little more than a com ple-reversal-of the opening game which the All Stars iwon 13 to 4. In the games thus far both teams have proved that they have tremendous batting power. There seems to be a great deal of controversy as to who will win the third game of the series which will be played on Thurs day night, September 9. The The fourth game will be played on the following night, Friday, September 10. These remaining game? will probably be the last of the season and soft ball fans and those interested in the Bible program are urged to support these games in even larger num- ! bers. "Lobo” Stephens was the one who on Thursday pitched the Champions to victory by limit ing the All Stars to five hits and only three runs. The Longhurst Team pounded out a total of 18 j hits, three of which were made i by W. Gilliland and almost all j the other Longhurst boys hit safely, twice. “Red Painter was i the fielding star of the night. He made two beautiful catches I which otherwise would have pro--| bably gone for home runs. Chaw j Harris with two hits led the hit- : ting for the losers.

This article has no place on the sport,page,''but since that is the only spot left,, we are placing it theb^. In the Times every other week, on Thursday, is a column called “Person Review.” That column is for sol diers, Sailors, Marines, or what have you, and it was intended that folks at home clip the column from the paper and mail to him or her who is in service. Many of our readers are sending it to the boys and girls in ser vice and it is our opinion that they are enjoyng it. As one Lieutenant said after reading the first copy “I would like to put on the list of someone in order to re ceive it every time it is printed.” He is getting it. This boy is now in the North Atlantic but Review reaches him sooner or later. This review is simply what the name implies. It is a two week’s review of the news of Person County and can easily be clipped and inserted in a letter to a person in service anywhere in the world.
