SOYBEAN PROSPECTS BETTER

Raleigh, N. C.-The outlook for
soybean production on September
/ showed considerable improve
ment over a month ago, according
to the State-Federal Crop Report
ing Service. Based on growers
September l reports, a yield of Is
bushels is currently estimated.
This compares with yield of Is.
S bushels in 1851 and the 1941-5O
average of 1878 bushels.
August weather brought much
needed rainfall to the important
soybean producing areas of the
State. In some sections insects,
principally army worms, had in
tested the crop and were doing
considerable damage to foliage.
Weather from now through har-
vest still holds a major role in
determining the outcome of the
crop.

COTTON PRODUCTION

Raleigh, N. CAS- of Septem-
Der l the 1852 Tar Heel cotton
crop was placed at $4,000 bales.
This is the same as the forecast
on August l and compares with
$4,000 bales harvested in 1851
and the 10-year 194150) crop
of $4,000 bales, according to the
State-Federal Crop Reporting
Service.
Acreage for harvest is now es-
timated at $4,000 acres-3,OOO
acres more than was harvested in
1851 and $4,000 above the acre
age in 1850. The 10-year average
cage harvested is $4,000
acres. Abandonment since July /
is estimated at 10 percent
slightly less than average.
For the Nation as, a whole a
production of 13,889,0O0 bales is
indicated based upon September
l conditions. This estimate is
based upon an indicated yield per
acre of 200 pounds from 24.693-

mately 1,413,000 bales of the 1852
crop had been ginned to Septem-

READ THOSE INSTRUCTIONS
HOME ECONOMIST URGES

Unless a homemaker can keep
up with her labor-saving equip
ment, she won't get the full re-
turns for the money invested in
it. United States Department of
Agriculture household equipment
specialists have observed that old
er women, especially, need to rea-
lie that it pays to change their
ways to suit the new appliances.
State College Extension Home
Management Specialist Mamie
Whisnant agrees that sometimes
new equipment can be handicapped
or even harmed by old habits.
When equipment isn't properly
used, the job will not be SO well
done, it may require unnecessary
time and effort, and it can mean
more repairs to the machine.
Close analysis of the instruct
ion booklets given out by dealers
may help to solve the problem.
But unfortunately, many, home
makers do little more with the
leaflet than carry it home and
throw it away-without once look
ing to see what it says. It's too
bad that dealers can't hand out
a new set of habits to homemakers
as they do instruction bulletins.
In laundering equipment it is
often mistreated. Precision is very
important when using an automa-
tic washer, but how many women

Millions in Values and Oppor-

People
By WADE LUCAS

Washington, N. Gas residents
of this coastal country explain it,
''The ground is burning again in
some of these parts and it's burn
ing bad"
And they are quite right too, as
visitors to Beaufort, Hyde, Craven,
Tyrrell, Camden, Perquimans, Cur
rituck, Gates, Carteret, Washing
ton Pasquotank, Dare, and some
other coastal counties can vouch
for once they have seen ''the
ground on fire."
The ground in this case hap
pens to be the numerous peat for
nations that have long been writ
ten about since the first time that
George Washington invaded dark
and gloomy Dismal Swamp to do a
bit of surveying.
While peat fires are not unusual
| in North Cardinals coastal coun-
try and while they have burned
constantly in some parts and in
termittenly in others for untold
centuries, the current ground" or
peat fires have served to increase
the menace to the great timber
tracts in this heavily wooded area
of the State.
The numerous fires, especially
one that recently developed in
about 600 acres of the huge hold
ings in Beaufort County of Allen
D. Swindell, have caused great
concern to Ralph C. Winkworth of
New Bern, district forester for the
Division of Forestry of the State
Department of Conservation and
Development in District Four en-
bracing the counties of Craven,
Beaufort, Carteret, Greene, Hyde,
Jones, Lenoir, Onslow, Pamlico
and Pitt.
Where It's Found
Peat formations in North Caro-
lima, Winkworth has found, are
largely found in portions of Beau
fort, Washington, Tyrrell, Hyde
and Dare counties, with some in
the counties in the northeastern
section of the State. Peat or
ground fires were only recently
extinguished after considerable eff
fort just outside New Bern on the
road to Washington.
Virgin stands of juniper and cy-
press once stood on the areas now
made barren in many instances by
a succession of peat fires. Large
logs can still be found buried in
the peat and in some cases are in
good state of preservation. Pres
ent stands of pond pine usually
are surrounded by dense growths
of brush, reeds and grass.
"The change in timber grow
ing" says Winkworth," in what
are known as the peat areas was
apparently brought about by rea-
son of the fact that the areas were
drained for logging and agricultu-
raj purposes. Fires began imme-
diately as swamps dried out and
have continued ever since. Very
little of the original timber was
ever removed because of the eff
fcts of fire."

Cuts in Foreign Aid
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Il A reduction in United States
foreign aid funds is favored by
nine of every 10 incoming Con-
gressmen willing to take a stand
in an Associated Press survey.
Some of this 80 per cent pro-
tested hotly what they called
waste and poor results in the $87
billion the United States has sent
its allies the last IL years.
Others, among the 10 per cent,
defended the program as provid-
ing the .most defense per dollar.
81 Senators for Cut in Aid.
Thirty-one Senators called for
foreign aid cuts in their replies,
while Senator LANCER. Republican,
of North Dakota said fatty:
Nothing for foreign aid" Six
House members urged no new
foreign assistance appropriations
and 143 proposed cuts, using
words like severely dras-
tically. )"
-Four Senators, some with reser-
vations, opposed reductions, while
replies from % Senators showed no
pronounced leanings now. Only l6
Representatives-13 D e ocrats
and three Republicans-indicated
support for anything like the pres
ent program. Forty-tWo Repre-
sentatives made noncommittal re-
plies.
Suggestions included:
/. l. A complete new study of the
whole program.
. 2. Making loans instead of out
right grants
/ 3. Shifting emphasis from Eu-
rope to the Middle and Far East.
4. Ending economic aid grants
but keeping military assistance
and the point four program of
technical help.
Up to $5 Billion Mentioned.

toned specific figures, the most

This is less than the amounts
