likes to sing and the pet trick this
Summer has been to make up spe-
cial verses to familiar songs. The
new verses deal with the high
school gossip. None of the poems
are mean, but they tease everyone
pretty hard. We have some knock
out Ansco snapshots of one OF our
songfests.
On beach parties and chill
roasts, we've found that if we take
along softball and bat for be-
fore supper, and if we do a little
advance planning about singing
and some other form Of group fun
after we eat, it helps everyone
have good time.
l guess it's natural that if no
planning has been done for a
party the kids who have gone
around together for some time
will pair off and the party col
lapses. This makes it awfully hard
on the kids who are dating each
other for the first or second time
and the rest of the gang really
doesn't have an awfully good time
either. We try to keep this from
happening. If you're going to have
a party, have one. If you're going
to make Sleeps eyes at each other
pick a night when there's no party.
Don't be a jerk.
Hot-dogs wrapped in bacon,
toasted marshmallows with melted
chocolate poured on graham
crackers; roasted corn, wrapped
in aluminium foil there are so
many things to have to eat. In m;
gang that's half the fun. AS coohs
we're tremendous and we admit
it! And the fun of doing our Own
cooking makes Summer parties
our favorite event.

Your County
Agent Says
TIME TO DUST PEANUTS

Columbus County peanut grow
ers are being advised by Char
les D. Raper, County Agent, to
get ready to start busting their
crop to control leafspot disease
in their peanuts.
The first application of dust,
Raper said, should be put on be-
tween now and July 10, at the
rate of 49, 20 pounds per acre.
Treatment should be continued
at two week intervals for a total
of three applications. However
if it should turn wet fourth APP
plication may be necessary.
busting should be done using
sulfur-copper dust mixture
which contains percent metallic
copper is recommended. Tests
conducted last year showed that
sulfur dust alone gave an IN.
crease of 209 pounds of nuts per
acre ever untreated acre, while
copper-sulfur gave an increase OF
473 pounds per acre.
At an average price of 10 cents
per pounds for nuts, and after
substracting SLIGO per acre for
sulfur dust and So per acre for
copper-sulfur growers who used
sulfur alone increased their pro-
fits by $3.50 per acre and those
who used copper-sulfur increased
their profits by $44.3O per acre.
In addition to the increased
yield of nuts those that busted
to control leafspot improved
both the yield and quality of Ray
sufficient to cover the cost Of
busting.
Raper said that in view OF the
increase in nuts and hay that
Columbus County peanut growers
should put fourth a great deal
of effort to get their peanuts
busted, thereby take up some of
the slack caused by the dry hot
spell to our corn and tobacco
crops.

There's a pretty good chance that
Tabor City will have big super mar
ket and grocery and one of the larger
chain department stores located here
within the next few months. At least
one of these projects is almost beyond
the rumor stage, although there's moth
ing down Oh the dotted line right at
present.

Our theory is this. You can't sell

are going to have more people here to

THIS ISSUE-A DUAL PURPOSE

lid 100 IA DOI1L SA>A wv
This issue of your newspaper comes
out with a two fold purpose. This is
the beginning of the fifth year OF pub
LEGATION, yes, Vol. V, No. /, and it IS
our annual tobacco edition.
Each year newspapers have the
habit of getting into the swing OF
thing when the bright leaf gets ready
to 60 ON the market and they try their
best to come out with little bigger
than usual newspaper. That newspap-
er usually brings you variety OF news
items on the various warehouses, busl-
ness of interest to all that help make
your community function, advertising
expressing the views of warehousemen
and merchants specials that they wish
to put before the public.
Not many newspapers would con-
slider four year operation worthy OF
much comment because i'll the annals
of newspapering, that is mighty
young journal hardly out of three
cornered pants. Yet, in Tabor City
we feel that we have won a moral vic.
tory by being here to commence our
fifth season. Many attempts to esablish
a permanent newspaper in Tabor City
have failed in the past. Only one ever
survived as long as has The Tribune.
No other one ever put printing equip
rnent in Tabor City, and gave you a
truly home town newspaper.
The Tribune is the first to admit
that it's stay here to date has not been
a financial success. People every where
tell us that it's poor business to admit
that you are not getting filthy rich.
But we hold no secrets. We give you
the truth, jokingly or otherwise for
what's it's worth. Yet, The Tribune
now as never before has faith in its
future. The best equipment we have
ever had is now in Tabor City. We are
printing three newspapers here, with
The Tribune the nucleus and backbone
of the organization. We expect to be
with you a long time. Now as always,
though, we need your help. Without
your subscriptions we cannot exist.
Without the continued cooperation of
the advertisers in Tabor City, we can
not exist. The newspaper game is one
of those things that one success is BASED
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1950-07-26

on the other success. That is, you can't
sell advertising unless you have
quantity of subscribers and you can't
even produce the newspaper without
the advertising.
The Tribune feels fortunate to be
located in a town with the vast posi-
b,lieies of this one. 1t is fortunate to be
in operation in Tabor for another to-
bacco season, a season that promises
to be good one. Farmers have had
their troubles with the elements. Some
crops were hurt by too much rain, some
were hurt because of too little rain:
some were hurt from excessive heat
Yet, despite it all, most tobacco men ex-
pect pretty fair crop and some pretty
fine tobacco to be sold on the local
market as always.
Hopes are running high as to the
price it will bring. The same elements
that have damaged our crops here.
have practically ruined some farmers
in the eastern belt. Hail took heavy
Toll there, Winds did damage, and
more recently flood waters cut wide
swarth through five county area. 1t
is catastrophe that some farmers have
lost so much of their crop. They are
going to have a hard road ahead for
the next II months. But if the old sup
ply and demand law still holds the
prices in the balance, and sometimes
we wonder if it does, then tobacco
stands fine chance of selling the high
est this year that it has ever sold.
All such remarks are pure conjec-
ture. No one knows. The Georgia
Florida sales are indicative and tell
some kind of story, but to get the true
story, you will have to see your own
tobacco being auctioned off.
It's our belief that you will get the
most for your money as farmers by
selling your crop in Tabor City in one
of our four spacious warehouses. Make
This Tabor City's greatest season.
Bring your tobacco here. Get the high
est possible price for your crop and
thank God for the privilege of living in
a country where you can sell your
commodities where you want to and
where you can profit most therefrom

Gifts of Food-and Understanding

hungry, and it dies hungry. CROP is at
lacking that problem"
But programs such as this one are i'm
portant in relieving spiritual, as well as
physical, hunger. In telling of his visits to
localities in Europe and Asia where CROP
has distributed these food gifts, DIR. Miller
reported a deep rooted appreciation in the
minds of those who were helped
They'd eaten the food; the food was
gone. But behind the food was this-that
there were people across the world with
common faith and common God that
hadn't forgotten" he said
These simple gifts of food, Inadequate as
they must be in satisfying the vast hunger
of the worlds people, are touching the
hearts as well as the stomachs of men and
women in many lands. They are strengthen
ing the bonds of human sympathy and I'M
derstanding in ways that may ultimately be
of great importance to the cause of world
peace
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-12-01

NUMEROUS farmers of Montana and
" Wyoming have joined with those of
other parts of the United States in sending
gifts of food to needy people of Europe and
Asia during the past three years. These
overseas shipments have been made through
the agency of CROP christian Rural Over
seas Program)- The goal this season is
total of l $50 freight carloads of food. Dur
ing the previous three years the food gifts
from American farmers have totaled 1855
carloads.
This commendable rural effort has con-
tributed in substantial measure to the relief
of hunger abroad. In the words of Dr. Ray
mond w. Miller, consultant to the Food and
Agriculture Organization of United Nations:
"CROP is sending these thousands of
tons of food to fill up the empty wrinkles in
mems stomachs. Hundreds of millions of
people go to bed hungry every night. Half
of the worlds population is hungry all the
time. A child is born hungry, it lives

More Grain and Livestock

YvHERE is reason to believe that the
Il greatly expanded defense program upon
which this country is ernbarking may have
to be accompanied by full agricultural
production effort. With consumer demand
increasing and with the needs of the armed
forces to be met, an enlarged requirement
for food and particularly for meat seems
inevitable It will take while to gather
Roadway but agricultural programs must
anticipate conditions months and years
ahead.
The administration would like to see
sharp increase in meat production because
past experience has demonstrated that full
employment at good incomes means more
meat on the family tables all over America
when the meat is available A stepped-up
demand from present high levels would ne
cessitate price controls and rationing unless
matched by increasing production.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-12-01

A recent advertisement for stock ranch
for rent brought more than 80 replies
There is a similar call for good grain
farms as well as for irrigated farms that
are large enough for efficient operation But,
as we have indicated, there has been little
evidence of any runaway movement of land
prices
1t is to be hoped that the market stays
upon moderate course. Land booms are
destructive to all except spectators and the
comparatively small number of older farm
ers who wish to dispose of their land in
order to retire.
While the country may be in for some
more initiation there are probably enough
uncertainties in the situation to discourage
spectators from getting into the market in
big way, at least for the present. The in
ternational picture. could change quickly.
And if commodity prices and wages really
get out of hand the law enables the presi-
dent to apply. controls right across the
board.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-12-01
Editorials
A Healthy Demand for Land

WHILE there has been no general rise in
w land prices in recent months there has
been marked firming of the market since
the Korean war started and the expanded
defense program was announced. Real es-
tate dealers report that most of the demand
for land has come from actual operators.
Scared city money seeking an initiation
hedge has not been very noticeable so far.
Compared with a few years ago, there
are not many grain farms or stock ranches
that are definitely up for sale. One dealer
who is in close touch with the situation re-
ports that there is particularly active de-
mand for good stock ranches with modern
house and located on school bus line, or
within a reasonable distance of school. He
says he could sell 100 such places right away
if they were available.
Many inquiries are being received from
tenants, as well as fre1n war veterans, or
young men who have grown to maturity
and want places of their own
The demand for farms and ranches that
can be rented is also far ahead of the supply.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-12-01

But any material increase in the produc-
ton of meat would require more feed grains.
Present supplies of corn would seem large
when compared with those of other years
The reserve supply is estimated at 57,000,-
600 bushels, the highest on record. But the
government dare not let corn storage stocks
melt away too fast with world conditions as
they are today. A short crop with reserves
down could be disastrous, particularly if
accompanied by reduced production of other
grains.
So it is anticipated that corn allotments
for the 1851 season will be set at levels that
would permit total acreage of near rec
ord proportions. And it would not be sur
prising if acreage restrictions were largely
removed from wheat for 1852 harvest It is
altogether possible that substantial guam
titles of this grain will be needed for live
