Tobacco TOPICS

The local tobacco markets have few
weeks to run. Yet they have already
set money record for a single year
here The poundage record set last
wear still stands ahead OF the present
hounds sold but even that mark Is III
sight and authorities think 1t Will be
shattered by the ever expanding Tabor
City Market.
The thing Of which we should be hap
DIV, is the fact that farmers selling on
this market have already received more
money than ever before in single year.
That CT course, comes from the tact
that never before have prices been 50
good for 50 long. And they are still
good and the holiday has done nothing
toward hunting the price. As matter
Of fact. at least one local warehouse
had higher average one day this week
than they have had before during the
season.
The local market is definitely on the
rise. Persons are hauling tobacco INTO
Tabor City from all surrounding towns
and taking advantage Of the high prices.
One man from a nearby village selling
tobacco here this week was asked why
he sold it here instead of in his home
town "Wen," he said, Il have to sell
nv tobacco here so | can get money to
spend at hcme." And that's one reason
why the local mart continues to rise to-
ward the ranks of the leaders.
A record in poundage this year Will
do much to give this market added pres
tige comes another season. Tobacco IS
still pouring into the warehouses and
there IS every reason to believe that a
poundarp all-time high mark will be set
before the curtain falls on 1871 leaf
sales.

YOUR farm
AGENT Says
Charles D. Raper,
County Agent
PASTURE

"Pass the lime and phosphate,
Mama, this grass tastes dead 10
me-"
If your animal on pasture could
talk that is what they would say.
During the past several months
farmers from all our Columbus
County and various agricultural
workers have made remarks ABOUT
the discriminating tastes OF AMI
mails on pasture.
The other day l heard this story.
A farmer had a blind horse that
he put out on pasture. In thls
pasture was plot which had been
| treated with a complete mixed fer
tilizer, and the blind animal ate
continually from the treated pas
ture. The horse was observed eat,
| ing near the edge Of the tertlllzed
plot one day when he finally hosea
| into the unfertilized area. He I'm,
mediately drew his head back and
continued his meal in the fertlllzed
pasture.
Up in Wake County, Mr.. L. I.
Weeks, County Agent, makes TINS
report. Two dairymen in Wake
County, R. Wilbur Yates and W. b.
Franks, both of R-4, Raleigh, ex-
perimented with their cattle by
placing a good application of lime
and phosphate on certain sections
of permanent pastures. lmmeal-
ately upon entering the pastures
the cattle found the treated areas
and refused to Craze the unfertll-
lied parts. All of this proves that
animals have very fine taste and
will always select forage which IS
high in mineral content because
nature has taught them to eat
foods which are best for them.
Permanent pastures should be
started this fall with a good appI!-
cation of lime. And seeded next
February or by March 10.
| According to the following rec
concentrations:
l. Select a heavy, dark soil.
2. Apply 2 tons ground limestone
and 400 to 600 pounds of super
phate per acre.
3. Stubble or cover crops should
be chopped up with a disc and let
on or near the surface. This should
be done as early as possible this
fall. Disc again and then smooth
with a spike tooth harrow two or
four weeis before seeding.
i. Broadcast 100 pounds of Mu-
riate of Potash pr acre and har-
row with spike tooth harrow
just before seeding.
5. Sow the following mixture
per acre February Is and March l.
Kobe Lespedcza Is pounds
Dallis Grass 10 pounds
White Dutch Clover 2 pounds
or Ladino Clover 2 pounds.
(Moculate clover seed. Use two
times as much inoculant as recon-
mended by the manufacturer).
6. When seeding, sow half of the
seed one way then cross with the
other half for even distribution.
If seeded by hand cover lightly
with a spike tooth harrow, weeder
or brush drag.
7. Do not Craze until growth is
5 to 6 inches high. Craze moder-
ately the first year.
8. Weeds must be kept under
control Raise cutter bar of mower
above grasses and NOW as often
as necessary.
8. Apply one and one-half tons
of ground limestone per acre every
5 years. Apply 200 pounds of Is
percent superphosphate and 100
pounds Of Muriate of potash per
acre every year.

BIG June Meet
Well Attended
By Elder /. w. Kilby

The Big June meeting was held
according to the old time honored
custom and practice that it has
been held for the last hundred
years or more. The Senter as
ISOLATION will hold its ninety
third session in September and
the church organization dates
even farther back than that.
The members in general who
attended this session expressed
themselves freely in their belief
that this was one of the best SEES
sions held in a long time. There
was much love and fellowship
manifested among those who at
tended and there was an old
timey atmosphere existing among
the crowd in general.
The Old Baptist, as they are
commonly known by the people
who look on from the outside,
and not very popular sect as
far as the religious social func-
tioning of their church is con-
cerned, but they stand very high
in their attributes of devotion to
their beliefs and practices of their
church.
They are very strictly devoted
to the doctrinal tenets to which
they have conScientiOusly held to
for all these years. They believe
that it is as much wrong to prac-
tice an error as it is to preach
an error, that it is as much wrong
to worship in songs Of praise with
a song that is unsound III senti-
ment as it is for their ministers
10 preach an unsound sentiment
Many people attended from the
different states, even from some
oi the western states. The visit
.ng ministers who were in attend
ance were Elders. D. P. Broad
way, Of Salisbury; c. B. Kilby,
Of Sparta; l. w. Kilby, Of WEIGH,
W. Va; B. H. Blevins, OF Trout
dale, Va. Their home ministers
were Elders Ed Davis, Dewey
Rotten and L. V. Bagley.
After the preaching services 4
fifteen minute internisSiOn was
held to make preparation for tie
communion services. After that
part Of the service a bountlful
table was spread for the nOurish-
ment Of the natural body, and the
day was ended with everyone 60
ing home happy to look forward
to the Big June in 1947. Many
that were there this year will not
be there next year, bot many new
faces and new hearts will greet
each other then to renew &C
quaintances and find love, fell
loWship, and hear the gospel
preached again, So that the cycle
goes on until the Lord sees fit
to call us all home.

Timely Hints
BY RUTH CURRENT

Home canning is as important
this year. when falrinc stalks
overseas, as it was any summer
during the war. Every jar OF
good home-canned food that a
family puts up for itself will do
its bit toward making the worlds
food supply go around.
Luckily, this year no serious
shortages in canning equipment
are expected.
Enough of the right tools for
the job makes for efficiency in
the kitchen, as in any other work.
shop. But too many utensils, Ike
too many cooks, have the oppo-
site effect. Duplicates and ur-
necessary extras that tend to col
lect in kitchen drawers and cup
boards take up space, slow down
work, and waste time and en-
ergy.
Occasional wedding out of all
kitchen equipment that does not
do enough work for its keep is
recommended by home manage
ment specialists. Get rid Of the
unnecessary pans and kettles, the
broken knife or wobbly egg beat
er, and the fancy gadgets that
lave proved unsuccessful.
One of a kind is enough for
rany items of equipment - one
Knife sharpener, for example, and
one bottle opener instead of a
handful as in many kitchen draw
erS.
Sometimes doubles make for
e, cheney, however. Two meas
uring cups, one for dry and one
for liquid ingredients, are needed
for rapid work. Twin sets of salt
and pepper shakers-one at the
stove and one at the mixing cen
ter-save steps.

Weather Causing
Tobacco Troubles

Weather conditions are chiefly
responsible for tobacco plants
having narrow, thickened leaves
and premature buttoning of the
crop, according to r. R. Bennett,
Extension tobacco specialist at
State College.
A number of farmers from va
riouS sections of the state have
been reporting such conditions
and have become alarmed, think
ing some disease may be re-
sponsible for the condition.
Il have just returned from a
trip through many of the tobacco
counties" Bennett says. I'm Will
son | found tobacco plants scat
tered over the field with narrow,
thickened leaves and this prema-
ture butLoning. In one end of the
field about one-quarter of an
acre was shaded by several large
"dCSI OdAS. O11uSl L1lS S1ldOS,
where it had been unusually dark,
cool, and damp, every plant show
ed the described conditions.
Whereas, in the open field,
where plants could get some SUM-
light, a small percentage of the
plants were abnormal. Most of
the buttoning and the narrow,
thickening leaves is due to lack
of warm sunlight, excess rain,
and cold nights and days.
"Plants generally have started
off with a poor root system be-
cause of the presence Of abundant
moisture after setting.
Il would advise frequent Gull
tivation to aerate the soil and the
putting of all the dirt around the
tobacco that the crop will stand"
