Red hot fans are the order of the
dayiow that, the Albemarle League
is about to start the home stretch on
its 1947 season. Memorial Field was
jammed with the largest crowd of the
season last Monday night when Eliza
beth City came here to gain another
bit of revenge at the expense of the
Hertford Indians. It was a bitter
grape for the Senator fans to swal
low when : the Indians knotted the
count at 2-2 and then went ahead to
win. . .
We resent the . statement of an
Elizabeth City radio commentator
who in discussing tty lO-0 defeat the
Indiana handed Elizabeth City last
week, called Memorial Field a "bond
box" park. Surely, had four of the
Senators smacked home runs, instead
of the Indians, no doubt the expert
would have gleefully proclaimed the
"hitting power" of his home team
Anyway, Mr. &rougn, well matcn our
field against any jn the country.
The Hertford Indians are hanging
up some kind of a record in double
plays. Although we haven't seen an
official "record, we will argue that the
Hertford infield has completed more
double plays than any club in the
league, and while on the subject, we
will also say that Centerfielder (Ar
chie Briggman leads the league in
stolen bases. Evidently the official
record keeper for the league hasn't
heard about Archie for he credits
some other player as having the most,
a record of six. We ve seen Archie
-steal at' least 15 bases.
Edenton still rides high in that first

Agricultural Conditions
Satisfactory, Says
Dr. Forster
North Carolina farmers can look
forward to a prosperous year in
1948, according to Dr. G. W. Forster,
head of the Agricultural Economics
Department at . State College, who
said the national economy is in a
highly satisfactory condition, and the
immediate future is bright
This means, he believes, that agri
cultural conditions, with a few pos
sible exceptions, will also be satisfactory.
Explaining his reasoning behind
such a prediction, Dr. Forster says
that farm prosperity depends almost
directly on the condition of the na
tional economy. Therefore, a close
relationship exists between the pros
perity of farming in North Carolina
and America's industrial activity.
As Dr. Forster" sees it, this indus
trial activity will remain high 'during
the next several years, and as a con
sequence, the agricultural income of
this state will remain in .favorable
position. tyfc ??r$t
