TOBACCO CROP NOT
HALF PULLED YET
Mild Temperatures Follow
ing Heavy Rains Pre-
vent Damages

Less than half of the tobacco crop
in Vance county has been harvested
and cured UP to this time, according
to growers who have been in the city
in the past few days. 1t is estimated
that curing will be in progress until
after the time the selling season be-
gins here and over the Middle Belt on
8hursday, September 16.
Fears had been expressed that
heavy rains the first part of the week
when more than six inches fell over a
period of four days, might damage
that portion of the crop remaining Iii
the field, but the rain held up Thurs
day before any extensive damage re-
suited. 1t was then feared that hot
sunshine. would do what the rain
didn't do, il it came hard on the
heels of the heavy precipitation.
But Friday and Saturday have seen
overcast skies, with little excessive
heat and with no further rain. It was
almost an ideal situation following the
downpours. Unless the weather turns
greatly unfavorable in the next few
weeks, it is expected the crop can be
harvested in generally good condition.
Reports are that cu1ings so far have
turned out average yields as to quality,
and, despite the bad start of the crop
in the spring, prospects now point to
about normal yields and quality, al
though the size of the crop will be
nothing like as big as was at one time
anticipated.
Fires are burning regularly in barns
throughout the county and the area
as growers press on with the harvest
of their greatest money crop of the
year.

PRAIRIE CHICKEN

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 3.-Texas
is trying to save the prairie
chicken finest OF its game birds
from extinction.
The chicken is a relative of
the heath hen of the northeast
whose last surviving member died
two years ago.
The legislature has closed the
season for five years. Hunters
previously were permitted to shoot
remnants of droves only four
days a year.
The state game department has
been unsuccessful in its efforts to
persuade the chicken to reproduce
in captivity and is seeking other
means to protect the species.
Experts attribute scarcity to
environmental factors rather than
hunters guns.
Eneroachment Of oil develop
ments and extensive irrigation
farming in the south and droughts

west have drastically reduced food

more interesting than otherwise,
was the fact that they were to be
held in celebration of the 147th
anniversary OF the Inauguration
of the Coast Guard service, and
for the winners in the various
events, Congress had made the
necessary appropriations for ex-
pense monies and also for the
prizes for the winning vessels and
crews.
In the article of July z it was
stated that the program was only
tentative as in the event of disas
ter it would be necessary to call
the ships into service, and it was
said today that one of those I'M

the U. S. S. Omaha, recently, was
one of those incidents which had
contributed to the necessary post
porement of the celebration.
