Single Package
Labor Bill
Is Predicted

Washington, Dec. 22-(AP)-
Democratic Chairman ]. Ho-
ward McGrath predicted today
the new Congress will pass a
Single package" labor bill. He
said it will provide for:
l. Outright repeal of the Taft
Hartley law.
2. Reinstatement of the Wag-
ner Act.
3. Revision Of the Wagner
measure, mainly along the lines
President Truman outlined in
his 1947 state of the union mes
sage.
McGrath told a reporter that
while he has not discussed tn e
matter with Mr.. Truman, there
is no basis for reports that the
administration may decide a.
gainst asking complete elimina-
ton of the Taft-Hartley Law.
OF course we are going to
press for outright repeal" said
the Rhode Island Senator. "How
can there be any doubt about
that? The party platform calls
for repeal and the President
campaigned for it."
McGrath said he looks for re.
peal, restoration of the Wagner
Act and revision of the latter
measure to be handled simultan
eously.
The Senator added that he is
not ruling out Wagner Act
changes in addition to those Mr..
Truman urged two years ago.
The Wagner Act was the basic
labor law prior to enactment Of
the Taft-Hartley Act. The latter
law actually is a Wagner Act re-
vision designed, according to it's
hackers, to put labor and ma
nagement on an equal basis.

Agent Ballentine Says
Crops In 1948Are Most
Expensive To Produce

WINTON.-Hertford Countys farm income
for 1913 is expected to reach an al-time high Of
nearly eight and half million dollars County
Agent ]. w. Ballentine said here yesterday.
while I believe our crops this year will
bring in more than ever in history, know that
the 1948 crops were the most expensive ones
Hertford County ever produced" Ballentine add
being paid in to farmers of the county, but he
said he had his doubts whether the net income
would be as high as it had been at times in the
past
"A good price for tobacco saved lot of peo-
pie over here this year," he said. First there
was the acreage allotment cut with which to con-
tend, then we found that our yield per acre on
tobacco was slightly below the 1947 level. How
ever most of the Hertford County farmers sold
their tobacco on the local markets where the
crop average was little more than $5100 per
hundred nonds"

PentecOstal Holiness
Christmas Program To

The cantata will include a

Following the cantata gifts
and bags of fruit and candy will
be distributed among the child
rem of the Sunday School.
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-12-22

le more than S5l.OU per
hundred pounds"
Actually our total farm in
come outlook is like that Of
many of our neighboring coun-
ties" the County Agent said.
"For that reason our estimates
are based on the five chief mon
ey producers - peanuts, tobac-
co, cotton, corn and hogs. OF
course, we are hoping to diver
sify our farming and have gone
in for some soy bean production,
but small grains, livestock and
other sources Of income are still
negligible over here"
Peanuts Biggest
Peanuts will account for the
biggest Fart of the Hertford
County record breaking crop,
bringing in an estimated $780,
900. Ballentine said the peanut
figures for the present crop are
strictly a guess, since the major
ity of the peanuts grown are still
in the fields unharvested be-
cause of the unusually wet fall.
However he said there were a.
bout Is, 600 acres Of peanuts
grown in the county on which
the yield was approximately L.
AGO pounds to the acre. II too
many of the nuts are not ruined
by water damage, it is esti-
mated they will sell for about
eleven cents a pound, the esti-
mated figures given by the
County Agent.
Following peanuts in none
tary Importance came tobacco
in Hertford County, Ballentine
said, he pointed out that the ac-
reage allotments for the county
came to 3,947.9 acres and that
each acre produced approx =
mately 1000 pounds of tobacco.
Based on the 51-cent market av-
erage for the sales season the
estimated tobacco income would
be $2,4l7, 400.
Nearly at the million dollar
mark for Hertford County for
1948 was cotton, where the Coun-
t. Agent pointed out the yield
had increased and said cotton
production was well over the
1947 mark. He said about $500
acres of cotton were under cul-
tivation and estimated the aver
age yield per acre at 450 pounds
of lint cotton or about 9 bales
to the acre. Cotton sold for
around $3.50 per bale for the cot
ton and $40 for seed during the
year, and the estimated income
from the cotton crop was $994,-
500, which Ballentine said was a
conservative estimate of the
money realized from cotton.
Corn was planted on $1,000
acres in the county during the
year, and County Agent said re-
suits were excellent. He made
particular mention of the num-
ber of farmers who entered the
cotton contests and pointed out
that the county winner had 1894
bushels on one test acre, while
the county as whole produced
an average of 80 bushels to the
acre. Based on the government
support price Of $161 per bushel
the estimated corn gross income
would be $875,840 Ballentine,
however, said a number of far
nlers are selling their corn now
to get ready cash and are selling
under the support price.
He said he figures hogs would
account for about 100000 Of the
county's gross income, and said
he figured what soy beans were
sold commercially would bring
in about $4,000. All these pro :
ducts figured together would
give Hertford County an esti-
mated gross farm income of 3d.
357, TAO for the largest money tot
al ever.
BY crops the figures show:
Peanuts $3,850.0
Tobacco 2,4l7, 400
Cotton 9o4, 500
Corn 875,840
Hogs 100000
Soy Beans 10000
