HOG MEAT RATES
HIGH AMONG FOOD
IN THE CAROLlNAS.
Ham and Barbecue Fame Excels
As Visitors From Altar
Come to Eat.

North Carolinians would cast a
heavy vote for barbecue and coun-
try cured ham if an election was
held on their greatest treat" in
the food line.
This was indicated from a
sampling of tastes among State
officials, editors, broadcasters, and
hotel, restaurant and food mer-
chandising executives by the State
Advertising Division. The straw
vote was conducted to compile the
latest information on North Caro-
lina's favorite food for a Chica-
goan who wrote Governor Hodges
that he is writing a story on gas
Economical features of all the
states for a national magazine.
Responding to the request for
the Governor, State Advertising
Director Charles Parker stated
that the diversity and multitude
Of superlative North Carolina
dishes makes it impossible to Sc
lect one. He listed three as fol-
lows:
North Carolina
Country Cured Ham
This is subject to launch the
Tar Heel gourmet into superlatives
and words to the wise-because
genuine North Carolina Country
Cured Hams are like great vim
tages. Only small percentage OF
the States extensive pork produc-
tion can attain this exalted estate.
Formerly available only direct
from farms with an especially
gifted ham curer, the art of curing
has spread and genuine North
Carolina hams are finding their
way to wider markets. This ham
is no kin to the pink, bland prod
uct described in the Tar Heel
State as packing house ham,.
Its origin is "smoke house, and
its red meat is redolent with the
aroma of hickory smoke. Six
months is minimum age for these
hams, and connoisseurs who like
their ham really robust age them
with tender care for two years or
more. The curing process is SINH
lar but there is a difference in
flavor and texture of hams from
eorn-fed pigs, and those fed on
peanuts-mostly in the northeast
ern part of the State. Peanut fed
meat is softer. Both types have
their loyal following.
North Carolina Barbecue
This is succulent young pork,
slow roasted over hickory Goals
and holly seasoned. 1t is served
cOarsley chopped, not sliced or
ground. It is at its prime when
hot off the Goals, and is served
that way when possible, but it
can be refrigerated and sold
through commercial outlets. The
origin of North Carolina barbecue
is lost in ante-bellum lore, but
within memory its preparation has
been unchanged in the time-honor-
ed method.
Tar Heel Hushpuppies
This is a corn meal bread, deep
fried, and equally good with
North Carolina barbecue and sea-
food, of which North Carolina is
an important producer. Legend has
It that hushpuppies originated in
plantation days when slaves cook
edrcorn meal batter in grease re-
manning in the huge iron skillets
IN which country ham or fish had
been fried, to feed hunting dogs
to keep them from barking while
their masters Toasted.
The straw vote also brought out
enthusiastic votes for North Caro-
lima oysters, salt herring, spoon
bread, pickles, peanuts, strawber-
ries and unusual sweets.

LEAF AVERAGE HITS
$58.22 In TABOR

The farmer has a smile on his
face but his fingers are still
crossed as he hopes for continu-
ed higher prices on the tobacco
markets in the Border Belt.
In Tabor City, the price av-
erage jumped skyward Monday
as Bob Black, sales supervisor
reported S58.22 per hundred on
the days sales. He stated that
Mondays sale was one of the
best reported anywhere in the
Border Belt.
The rise in prices has been
general throughout the Border
Belt this week but the leading
market in average price has
been the local warehouses.
Black reported full sales eve
ry day except Wednesday. II is
expected that full sales will be
held for the next two weeks.
Reports by the day for the
local market are as follows:
Wednesday - $4,000 pounds;
Sl4O,309.32; S53.18 average.
Thursday - 342,3s6 pounds:
Sl87, 577.69; S54.78
Friday - 1892 pounds:
5000, 323.OO; $54.56
Monday - 39O,954 pounds;
s227,521.32; S5s.22.
Tuesday - 386,752 pounds;
S222,256.52; S57.46.
One official explained that
the increase in price was due to
the better grade of tobacco be-
ing placed on the floor. Whether
or not the price will remain on
the upswing is a question no one
seems to be able to answer. No
one has yet been able to explain
the low prices paid during the
opening 10 days of the Border
Belt markets. A special commit
tee appointed by D. D. Cox,
president of the Columbus Farm
Bureau, Is expected to report
its findings on low prices to the
l5-man Flue-Cured Tobacco
Advisory Committee in Raleigh
Friday.
