NORTH CAROLINA LETTUCE
CROP SHORT

Dry weather, when moisture was
needed to mature properly the crop,
and the probable influence of late
frosts in weakening the plants, cut
severely the yield of North Carolina
lettuce. According to reports from
the Federal-State market news re-
preventative at Wilmington, local
estimates placed the seasons car-lot
movement at 400 cars, of which 308
had been shipped to May Is. Nov
ement during the second week of
May more than doubled and totaled
196 cars. Up to May 16 last year
513 cars had been forwarded of the
seasons 537 cars.
The preliminary estimate of 1850
acres for the State represented a
decrease of 10 per cent from the
preceding season. Condition of the
crop was reported as S5 per cent
on April l, 1926, compared with
100 per cent on the same date last
year and five-year average
for April of IS per cent. Some
Improvement occurred, however, dur
in the first half of the month, and
production was forecast at approx
mately 100000 crates, or 10000 less
than in 1925.
As has been the case generally
throughout the southern States,
North Carolina lettuce was delayed
by the cold weather of early spring.
Although the first car moved only
four days later than last season,
shipments during the entire month Of
April amounted to but % cars, as
against 326 in April, 1925.
The acreage of lceberg-typc let
tuce in North Carolina was increased
over 200 per cent this year and con.
stitutes 1915 per cent of the total
crop, with Romaine taking another
20-25 per cent. Big Boston, how
ever continues to be the leading com
mercial variety grown in the vii

ty appears to be above average. Dry

RETRosPEcTloN

Looking over the past, during the
time that Tom j. Terral has been
governor of the state we cannot
point to a single action of his dur
ing that time that he has done for
the state in anyway but to occupy
the place called governor. We do
not feel unkindly toward Governor
Terral, instead, we feel kindly to-
ward him personally. On the other
hand, unless the man we elect to
the offices of the state perform
some duties, other than in name only
we cnnot for the life of us see the
necessity of such office.
In the past there has been long
lists of glory added to the name OF
other governors. Constructive meau-
res have been enacted by the legis-
lature at the suggestion of the Cover
nor. Our public school system has
been forever benefited because of
constructive measures inaugurated
during the McRea administration.
All down the line, with few except
ions, our governors have made a
record of service to the state.
Governor Terral points with pride
to his mo pardon" record. He
should point to the record with
shame. 1t is just as much the duty
of the Governor to investigate these
cases, as it is to perform any other
duty. He has turned a deaf ear to
the pleding of the just and unjust.
In so doing he is not performing the
duties of the Office as provided by
the state. The Journal does not
favor the promiscuous granting of
pardons. We do favor law enforce
ment. But there are men charged
with murder, walking the Streets of
Smackover and elsewhere, who yet
have time to serve in the peniten-
tiary, while those convicted of lesser
crimes bearing petitions signed by
the county judges, jurors and pros
ment. But there are men charged
