With Primary F1ue Weeks
OFT; Campaign Warming Up
Several Interesting and Ha rdFought Contests Being

cratic Balloting of Saturday, June

State senator this year, since the Of
flee goes to Warren county under the
gentlemen's agreement for alternat

Warren, which constitute the six
teenth senatorial district.
The primary race is expected to
take on added interest and to become

The only major county office for
which there was no contest in this
years primary is that of clerk of the
superior court. No one filed against
E. o. Falkner, who now holds the

would not be any. The result is one of
the most interested and hard-fought
battles the county has had in several

TOBACCO PLANTING
IN VANCE IS BEGUN
Blue Mold Has Been Very
Slight; Abundance of
Healthy Plants

Transplanting of tobacco from
plantbeds is already off to a good
start in Vance county and this section
of the State, and growers are getting
satisfactory stands, so far as CAM be
determined so far, according to
County Farm Agent j. w. Sanders
Planting is not so generally in pro
gress as it will be in another week
or ten days. but the good seasons
that have prevailed in the last week
or so have given the farmers almost
ideal weather conditions for getting
the young plants into the ground in
the growing fields.
Blue mold damage has been very
much less serious this year than last.
in fact, has not been sufficiently pre-
valent to cause any great alarm any
where in the county, unless in rare
instances. There is an abundance o.
healthy plants, sufficiently large to
be set in the growing fields. A week
ago there were generous rains, and
this weekend has given promise OF
more recipitation on plants that have
already been set.
Dissatisfaction of growers with acre
age allotments under the new crop
control act is not delaying the process
of trans-planting. They are free to
go ahead on acreage that has been
provided. If increased allotments are
authorized by the AAA in Washing
ton, there will be plenty of time yet
at least in this section, for that pick
up to be reached and "set" in time
for a good growing season.
Because of the control regulations
the crop will be less than last year
and there is an abundance of good
plants in the beds.
