,SEEDBEDS BEING
PLANTED RAPIDLY
But Growers Have Month
Yet, If Necessary, To
Sow These Beds

Tobacco growers in this county and
section are putting in much of their
time in planting and cultivating their
seedbeds for the 1887 crop, and it was
estimated roughly today by j, w
Sanders, county farm agent, that pro-
badly half of the beds have already
been placed. y
There is an abundance of time yet
however, for those who have not fin
ished this planting. 1t was recalled by
Mr.. Sanders that scarcely a seeded
was put in in 1886 before the middle
of March. The exceedingly cold wealth
er that prevailed prevented the SOW
ing. Yet the sproutings were suffi-
GENTLY speedy and produced plenty
of young. plants for setting the fields
for the growing Of the years crop
Adverse weather conditions in the
spring and early summer were the
factors that reduced the years pro-
duction.
During the past week there has
(seen less rain, have been several days
Of favorable sunshine and mild tenn
peratures that afforded growers ar
opportunity to get around to theil
plantbed sowing, and most of them
lost no time in attending to- the job
But there is yet muchsAto be done
with favorable weather conditions
the last of the see18eds can be 1sowr

Fears Are Felt Con1pacts
Act May Fail OF Its Aim
Georgia Not Moving Rapid ly Desired, and South
Carolina Cooperation Ma Hinge That State
Talk of Federal Contr oil Heard in Washington

While North Carolina and a few
other states have adopted tobacco
compact acts, assent still has to be
given by the legislatures of South
Carolina and Georgia, neither of
which is showing any great speed in
the matter, and apprehensions are be-
ginning to be felt lest the whole pro-
ject may collapse for lack of I'M
animity of cooperation.
The Kentucky legislature has enact
ed a compact measure, but it has
variations from those adopted in
North Carolina and Virginia, the lat
ter two being identical in all essen
tails, providing, according to reports
here, that neighbor states to the north
must adopt like measures if Kentucky
is to give it's assent That affects bur-
lev, however, almost in its entirety.
Compacts bills are under considera-
ton in the South Carolina legislature,
with good prospects of passage, and
indications that the law adopted there
will be virtually identical with those
of North Carolina and Virginia. But
there appears to be a hesitancy in
Georgia to condition cooperation
there on action in Florida, where lit
tie, if anything, has been done so far.

Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-02-13

There is little disposition on the
part of the growers in the Carolinas
and Virginia to go into compact
arrangement without Georgia, accord
ing to those in position to know, and
there is not such tremendous en-
thusiasm in Georgia for going into the
agreement. At least it is by no means
as unanimous as in these other states.
If compacts were signed in the other
major flue-cured producing states
without the assent of Georgia, it
would mean that the sky would be
the limit for Georgia growers, who
could plant to their hearts content
without restrictions, with fine pros
poets for top prices if the other states
reduced materially.
Meantime, movement has been
started in Congress for another AAA
regulation covering tobacco. Repre-
sentative Flanagan, of Virginia, au-
thor of the government grading act
has said that there will likely be little
control under the compacts because
of the difficulty in lining up all OF
the states concerned. What will come
of this, or even of the compacts
measure itself must be decided in the
next few weeks, however

seven different kinds of crop seed
corn, oats, wheat, soybeans, lespedeza
rye and cowpeas. The seed had to

mixture, disease, presence of noxious
weed seeds and other factors. On an
other table there were thirty differ

{. Y. FLOYD TALKS
To GROWERS HERE
Says Compact and Soil Pro-
grams Will Dovetail if
Both Operated

E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist of
N. c. State College, Raleigh, was the
speaker at the mass meeting of Vance
county growers here Friday for the
discussion of the soil conservation
program for 1887. He came in the
place of H. A. Patton, State COM
pliance supervisor for the soil pro
gram, who was unable at the last min
ute to fill his engagement
Mr.. Floyd said the soil program
would dove-tail with the tobacco COM
pacts measure if the latter finally
were put into effect.
The speaker did not confine his re-
marks to the tobacco angle of the soil
conservation set-up, but discussed
that government project from the
standpoint of crops and agriculture
in general.
The mass meeting of growers in the
afternoon filled the court house to
overlooking and many milled about
in the lobby and on the court house
grounds because they could not get
inside Most of those who attended
stayed through the meeting which
was presided over by J. w. Sanders,
county farm agent, and opportunity
was given for questions. Mr.. Sanders
said the growers were intensely in
terested and indications were that
most of them would cooperate in the
program for the year.
Landlords and tenants alike were
invited to attend the meeting.
In the forenoon Mr.. Floyd met with
the county agents staffs and commit
teemen in discussing the soil program,

i rejoice in the things 1 can do as a
country girl for my home and my
neighborhood.
II believe I can share in the beauty
around me; in the fragrance of the
orchards In spring, in the weight of
the ripe wheat at harvest, in the morn

to express this beauty in my own life
as naturally and happily as the wild
rose blooms by the roadside.
II believe I can have a part in the
courageous spirit of the country
This spirit has entered into the brook
in our pasture. The stones placed in
its way call forth it's strength and add
to it's strength of song. It dwells in
the tender plants as they burst the
seed cases, that imprison them and
push through the dark earth to light

meadow lark. With this courageous
spirit too, can face the hard things
of life with gladness

work I can find joy in common task

HOPEFUL SIGNS in:
CANCER SITUATION
Optimism in Fight Against
Deadly Disease Is Right
Now Most Ever

At the beginning of 1897 there il
more hope and optimism manifested
in the fight against cancer than prob.
ably in any previous year, says the
weekly bulletin issued 10y the State
Board of Health. Science is redoubline
it's efforts to find Sthe answer to one
of it's greatest unsolved mysteries, the
cause OF cancer. Men high in the field
of medicine are pushing forward their
studies in vital research work. Grants
and donations to hospitals and in
situations are being made that the
fight against cancer may he carried
on with new and better weapons. and
throughout the country the message
that many cancers can be cured if
discovered and treated in time is be-
ing taken by a field army of organic
ed women under the direction of the
American Society for the Control of
Cancer
There are two facts in connection
with cancer statistics that are par
letin. One is that the American Col
lege of Surgeons records no fewer
than 24,44O cases of cancer which.
treated in time, have been permanent
cured. The other is that the cancer
death rate for white women under IS
years of age has shown no upward
trend in the past twenty-five years
and that the course of death rate for
the age period of 35 to 81 has been
significantly downward. Only in the
ages after IS has the cancer death
rate among white females shown a
rise. This assuring note that NOR
tality from cancer is not on the in
crease, especially as it effects women.
is set forth in the statistical bulletin
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company for October.
While cancer will never be a pleas
ant subject, says the bulletin, increas-
ing numbers of men and women are
willing to know the facts and use in
telligence in dealing with them Con-
sequently, prompt and competent me-
dlcal diagnosis is making it possible
Tor an increasingly large number to
De cured of this disease, whereas in
former days the tendency was to de-.
Ter diagnosis until there was no
nope for cure. Yet, says the bulletin.
tnere are people who still put their
trust In salves, injections. electric
'Deits and pills, and who still die from
cancer, while surgery, X-ray and
raolum, when applied early have been
able to save thousands
