Some Grades Higher
But Quality Lowers
Old Belt Average

During the second week of sales
on the Old Belt flue-cured tobac-
co markets post average prices
were higher but quality Of offer
lngS was lower. Volume of sales
remained light.
According to the United States
and Virginia Departments of Ag-
grlculture the increases ranged
from 25c 10 Sc per hundred. Most
We're from 81 n SO when compar-
ed with opening week. The few
losses recorded were mostly for
nondescript and low primings.
General quality of offerings was
not as good because of more poor
and low leaf and nondescript. Also
there was a sharp increase IN the
percentage of leaf grades WITH
less slugs and primings. Bulk of
marKetings consisted of low TO
good Tugs, poor to fair leaf. low
and fair prin.ings and monde
script.
Deliveries were a little heavier
this week except for opening Gay
OF last week. Gross sales, however.
were only 13.9o2,771 pounds at
an average of S4989. The average
was S1.87 per hundred under the
initial week chiefly because of a
larger DerrpOtapa of i,fa,-iO,. LOFT
Season sales were placed at g
92l403 pounds averaging 5000.
Durng the same number of
sales days last year 50737.856
pounds were sold at an average
of S48.59.
Receipts Of the F,ue-cured Sta
bilization Corporation under the
Government loan program this
Wcc:, through Wednesday amount
ed to 1913 percent of gross sales.

HOWDY. FOLKS,


A few scattered dust clouds the
past month or so have got me quite
worried, though the recent SHOWS
have been blessing.
You know, not nearly enough of
us farmers and ranchers are taking
conservation seriously. A few of
us are doing a fine job, but the
vast majority are doing only the
easiest, less permanent practices,
and some aren't doing anything.
Our nation is dependent upon the
land we are managing for its well
being and it is neither good citizen
ship nor fair to future generations
to misuse it.
This talk of conservation is not
a passing fancy. We are losing
thousands of acres of productive
top soil every year to water and
wind erosion. On top of this is our
declining fertility. With our popula-
ton increasing two and one-half
million persons per year, and prac-
tically all of our arabic land under
production now, it should be evil
dent to all that we are going to
have to take care of our land if
we are to maintain our present
standard of living.
The time is rapidly approaching
when the government will be forced
| to step in and enact laws to enforce
the practice of conservation on the
land in order to protect the well
fare of the nation. Let's all pitch
in and make this unnecessary. You
know, Folks, Democracy and free
dom are wonderful things, but they
have to be earned. If we are to
keep our freedom and government
by the people, we must demonstrate
by our actions that we, as people,
are capable of governing ourselves.
Is it important to keep water
where it falls? Well cutting OF
alfalfa requires some 325,800 gal
Ions of water per acre to grow il
and one inch of rain is equal to
about 100 tons of water per acre.
Conservingly yours,
CONSERVATION CHARLEY

TrefoiI Variety
Recommended

A WINTER-HARDY, late-matur-
ing variety of birdsfoot trefoil has
proved itself under Montana condi-
tons and is now recommended for
use in irrigated pasture mixtures in
the state. The variety, named En-
pire, grows well with most grasses
and produces good midsummer pas
lures. Yields have been good in tests
at Bozeman, Creston and Huntley
branch experiment stations. AS with
other varieties of the legume, En-
pire will not cause bloat in livestock.
Further information on the variety
may be obtained from your county
agent.

Mrs. Wood Wins Place
On College Park Ballot

Mrs. Yolanda F. Wood has won
her fight to have her name
placed on ballots in College Park
as candidate for city council
from the fifth ward in next Mon
days election.
In Prince Georges County Cir
cult Court at Upper Marlboro
yesterday, Judge j. Dudley Dig

had refused to print her name
on ballots, saying she was not a
free-holder.
Judge Digges did not rule on
the question of whether Mrs.
Wood owns property or not. But
he said the law specifies that
elected officials must qualify as
free-holders and if Mrs. Wood
wins, the problem can be re-
solved before she takes Office.
Mrs. Wood. through her at
torney, Hervey G. Machen, had
contended that she and her hus-
band are buying property where
they live at 9066 Baltimore boul-
evard under a verbal agreement
with relative.
