FARMERS PREPARE
1888 WEED CROPS
Growers Getting Seedbeds
Ready, Though 1887
Crop Is Not All Sold

With the 1887 crop still not quite all
sold, farmers in this county are al
ready breaking and preparing their
seedbeds and some have already
planted them in preparation for the
1888 tobacco crop, it was learned to-
day. This is trifle earlier than
usual in some instances, but growers
have taken advantage of the mild
weather generally that has prevailed
since the first of the year to obtain
their start in getting seedIbeds sown
so that termination would not he
unduly delayed.
Last year there was talk of a short
age of plants, but most growers were
able to obtain supplies sufficient to
set their acreages, and would have
grown an unusually large crop of to-
bacco had not heavy and continued
rains toward the end of the growing
season in late summer interfered,.
Sowing of seedbeds viii have no eff
feet on the size Of the crop, so far as
government control is concerned. If
provisions of the farm bill now in con-
ference in Congress are completed
and the bill enacted into law well in
advance of planting time, as is gen
orally expected, settings of tobacco
plants in the growing fields could be
limited to allotments made, no matter
how great the supply of healthy plants
might be. Most growers always take
care to sow enough seedbed areas to
allow for insect or pest damage and
still have enough to meet their re-
ouirements. Great seedbed areas do
not necessarily mean a huge crop in
prospect, even when there is no con-
troll.
But the 1888 crop is already under
way while farmers are still engaged
in selling the remnants of their 1887
production yields.

Raleigh, Jan. 12-Scientists dispute
whether or not there is a fly which
lives entirely on oil, but figures from
the United States Census of Ameri-
can Business, indicate that in 1885
more than 10000 North Caro!inians
lived on oil" in the sense that they
made their daily bread by employ
nent in the petroleum industry.
This count, made regularly by the
United States Bureau of the Census,
showed that in the retail marketing
of oil products there were engaged
total of 1920 full time employees.
earning a total of $3,OS8,00O, and 963
time workers who earned total OF
$4,000.
In the. wholesale field there were
employed 1,O65 full time workers who
received $2,693,O0O and 48 part time
employees whose earnings reached
$4,000.
Thus there were 11,185 full time
EMPLOYEES, who accounted for a pay
roll of $5781 900, and 1,O11 part time
workers earning $245,000 for the
year.
AS for the fly mentioned in the
IlrSL pdrdSIdpu, IAC pSI1 ~ ~
one of more than 10000 species OF
flies known to science. The "petro-
leum fly lives in shallow pools or
waste oil in the California oil fields.
It has long been the subject of scien-
tific controversy Some experts have
contended that the fly eats and dl-
gests crude petroleum. Others assert
it gets it's sustenance from dead in
sects caught in the oil.
In 1912 experiments revealed the
larvae could be raised to maturity in
filtered, sterilized OIL A few years
ago a prominent entomologist dis
puted that conclusion and offered ex-
detrimental evidence that the nut
riment found by the flies comes from
the bodies of other insects.
This question may be moot, put
there is no questioning the fact that
that if the North Carolina folks who
Give on. oil' ever get together in
real organf alton, such as is being
sponsored by the North Carolina Pc
troleun Industries Committee, they
will have much to say about the po-
litics and government of the state.
