TOBACCO SALES

1t has been interesting to study the
figures recently released by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture on tobacco
sales in the Border Belt this 1856
season.
Farmers have taken cut after acre
age cut in the last six years including
Il whopping II per cent one this sea-
son. Yet, in the face of it all, tobacco
sold in Columbus county remains at
record heights. AS matter Of fact,
IN so far as Columbus County is con-
cerned, this season was among the
best on record.
Last year was Il good tobacco year
for this area and folks were pretty
happy. With the cut this year, there
was lot Of doomed talk, and we
admit that we too have the feeling
that tobacco is on the way out. Yet,
i'll so far as price and production are
concerned, this 1856 year was the
best Of them all in Columbus county.
The four markets in Columbus sold
more TOBACCO imam was SOlQ last year.
And they paid out more money than
was paid out last year with a higher
average per pound than in 1855. In
all the three yardsticks Columbus
faired mighty we'll this season.
Then when you take the entire
North and South Carolina Border
Belts together YOU find only a $4,000
pound reduction from 1855. Farmers
have truly been able to beat the devil
around the stump and come up with
more and more on less and less.
We are also quite pleased that the
governments take of this years crop
in this belt was 81 per cent less than
a year ago. The figure still must come
down a long way from the 10 per
cent it was this season before the
tobacco situation will be healthy. But
there's no denying that in so far as
the next six months are concerned,
farmers of this area have every reason
to spend about as much money as
they spent last year.

fact that electric motors are highly
efficient, ranging from 60 percent in
one-quarter horsepower motors, to IS
to 80 percent in the five and seven
and one-half horsepower sizes. An
other important feature is that a
motor of the exact size needed can
be obtained to fit each task to be

ELECTRICITY PAYS

Electric power is rapidly taking its
place on the farm as major source
of energy to increase production, save
labor, and prevent waste. 1t is said
that there are approximately 600 cleo
trical appliances used about the farm
and farm home. This is an amazing
number when it is realized that basic
ally there are only four uses which
these appliances can NAL &c of electric
power.
Obviously, the first is light, which
has been used in many ways to in
crease the working day of the farmer,
to increase, production, and to pre-
vent loss and other waste which fire.
quently occurs on the farm.
The second use is for heat, and
many appliances make only this one
use of electric power. Water heating,
cooking, electric hotbedS, and brood
erS represent some of the various
methods by which heat is applied to
the business of agriculture and farm
living.
The third use of electricity is for
power, typified by the electric motor.
Electricity is an ideal source of
energy for driving all tools and ma
chinery previously operated by hand.
\ quarter-horSepower motor is equiv
alent to two men on any task which
it can perform. When this fact is
recognized, it will be apparent that
continued hand operation of equip
ment is a useless attempt at economy.
The fourth application of electric
power is relatively little known, al
though it is used III practically every
home. This is the relatively new field
that electronicS constitutes the control
of electric power with either gas
filled or vacuum tubes. The most
common example of this is the radio
tube. Other examples OF electronIy
tubes include fluoreScent lights, teIe-
vision viewing screen tubes, and sew
eral other special tubes which are
gradually being applied to automatic
controls OF farm equipment.
Light, heat, power, and electronicS
are the four basic forms, which can
be used in approximately 900 differ
ent devices, can really help the farm
family to do their work, to enjoy life
and to have living standard second
