New Crop For Tarheelia?

If the experiment with Turkish tobacco
by North Carolina farmers proves as sue
cessful this year as it was on small scale
last season, it can be safely predicted that
new and highly profitable crop will be
added to the many crops now being grown
in this State.
Under the direction of the State College
Extension Service, farmer experiments
with the Turkish leaf were conducted for
the first time in North Carolina in 1945.
The area chosen for the venture was in the
vicinity of West jefferson, Ashe county.
Nineteen cooperating growers produced
limited quantities of this type OF tobacco.
And tobacco manufacturers are said to
have declared it to be equal to or better
than the imported product.
The Ashe county program is being re-
peated this year, and dozen new tobacco
growers in Caldwell county have also
agreed to make the experiment.
Some of the Nations tobacco companies
have advanced money to assist the grow
ers with the crop, which requires constant
attention. The manufacturers are vitality
interested in the success of this experiment
because they need Turkish tobacco in the
production of cigarettes. In order to give
the manufacturers the type of Turkish leaf
they desire the farmers must exercise
greatest care in it's cultivation and prepara-
ton for market Special curing racks are
necessary and the leaf must be given treat
ment previously unknown to farmers in
this State.
Those directing the experiment say that
the production of the crop is responsive"
and for that reason manufacturers have
guaranteed producers of the small-scale
crop rs cents per pound for the cured
product"
An interesting feature of this expert
ment is that only farmers without previous
tobacco-growing experience have been
chosen for the Turkish trials, because in
tricate rules must be followed if satisfac
tory results are to follow In order to grow
Turkish tobacco successfully an expert
enced tobacco farmer would find it neces-
sary to "un-learn'' many rules followed in
the production of flue-cured and hurley
types.
The larger-scale experiment with this
new crop will be watched with much in
terest this year. If brand of Turkish
leaf acceptable to manufacturers should
be grown this season by 81 farmers in two
counties, there would seem to be no reason
why North Carolina should not eventually
become leader in the production of this
highly valuable commodity.

Paris blood and thunder" house before the Nazis.
 It wouldn't ke right to reveal too much about the plot. but this much can be told: In a Mayfair fiat, Stephens fiat, you meet Stephen, whose wife has walked out on him, as he is entertaining fHs mistress, Grena. There is a phc.le call, Wife Jan, is returning. There is a vio- lent scene between Grena and Stephen-and scuff1e with, due to a ha.dy dagger, messy results. Now along comes the landlord, Matthew, who lives downstairs. To make things more pleasant he is, further more, sadist. With a certain de- gree of relish, Matthew begins to ask questions. They are odd ques- tions, for they always skirt the sub ject of a possible crime and never probe directly into it. J. Lee Thompson, the author, has a twist for his final act, & twist Of the Payment-Deferred variety. Steph- en, as the play ends, finds himself facing new horror, that of being ineScapably charged With a murder he didn't commit.
