yields draperies and lights with superb

quently hears some one remark,
"what does the Government mean
by a normal crop of cotton" in
figuring the monthly cotton con.
dition reports. The: following
explains what is meant by a nor
mall crop:
A normal condition as applied to a
crop is what the crop ought to produce
under ordinary conditions, that is, with
the usual method of cultivation, with
good average weather conditions, and
without any unusual loss from plant dis
ease, insects or other injurious influ-
ences. A yield under such favorable
conditions would be normal yield, which
is more than an average, but less than
the highest possible yield. And a con-
dition which may produce normal yield,
is normal" crop. or condition of 100
per cent. For example, If the condition
of the cotton crop on June 10th were
such that only three-fourths of a yield
could be expected, the condition would
be reported at rs per cent; if only one
half normal crop could be expected,
the condition would be so per cent; if 10
per cent more than normal yield could
be expected, the condition would be ITO

There is to be a second pri.

race for Solicitor, between F.
Donald Phillips, of Rockingham,
and Mr.. G. H. Russell, of Laurin.
burg, and we, the undersigned
icitizens and voters of Richmond
county, wish to urge every pa
Itriotic man and woman in the
Thirteenth Judicial District to 60
the polls on July 1st and help US.
to nominate Don Phillips. In our
opinion Mr.. Phillips is a lawyer
with just as much ability as his
opponent and we know him to
be a man Of the highest charac-
ter and integrity and the valuable
services which he rendered his
country in the time of peril
should be the added weight by
which any voter should determ-
inc his choice for Solicitor. In
other words, knowing that Don
Phillips is the equal of his op-
ponent in character, integrity,
ability, and knowledge of the
law, the fact that he was a SOL
dier. who was wounded and gas
sed on the battle fields of France,
who was willing to make the su-
preme sacrifice for his country
in order to make the world safe
for democracy" should be the
determining factor in the mind
Of every fair-minded and patriotic
voter in deciding for whom he
or she will vote for Solicitor. 3
Don Phillips received 7,944
votes to 3,941 for Mr.. Russell in
the first primary-more than two
to giving Mr.. Phillips a lead
of 40O3 votes over Mr.. Russell.
We confidently hope and expect
Mr.. Phillips to receive at least
three votes to every one for his
opponent in the second primary,
and we appeal not only to the ex-
service men to bring about this
result but also to the fathers,
mothers, brothers and sisters OF
the ex-service men to avail them,
selves of the opportunity to show
their gratitude and appreciation
for the services rendered by Mr.,
Phillips and all other World War
veterans. During the World
War, men all over this nation
made declarations that upon
their return, the soldiers would
be shown every consideration in
both public and private life, ard
let it not be said that these de
clarations were hypocritical and
insincere so far as the Thirteenth
Judicial District is concerned.
