in the coming year with a situa-
ton similar to that which exist
ed in 1856 when the Flue-
Cured Sterilization Corporation
was forced to receive under loan
large stocks of leaf which are
even now unSold," declareu
Hicks.
Sterilization as of December
ID. 1858 held 2l8.5 million
pounds of leaf from the 1855
crop, 2e2.5 million Of 1856 leaf,
90 million pounds of 1857, ano
about "a million pounds of 1854
tobacco for a total of $3.50 mil
lion pounds Of old stocks. max
ing a total of $50 million pounds
on hand.
The large stocks on hand from
the 1856 crops are due prim-
arily to the fact that Stabiliza-
ton was forced to receive under
loan large amounts of certain
varieties found to be mild, lack
ing in flavor and unsuitable to
the trade, according to Hicks.
Growers in 1856 planted a
large percentage of the total
flue-cured acreage with these
undesirable tobaccos and con-
Sequently our cooperative has
carried the burden" said Hicks.
In addition to old stocks, the
Sterilization Corporation held,
on December 10. over las mil
lion pounds of 1858 tobacco
which represents about 1873 per-
cent of the years crop.
Hicks sees, "A real danger of
the 1885 situation recurring
IN 1859, especially if buyers con-
tlnue to find certain varieties
lacking in qualities and oroma
desired for making cigarettes"
Farm Bureau officers. local
farm and field men and other
farm sources report a current
run on seed supplies of the Cox
er 1877 Hicks variety which indi-
Gates that much of the flue-cur-
ed acreage in North Carolina
will be planted in this variety
unless farmers change their
planting plans.
Complaints about the quality
of Cocker 1877 Hicks began to crop
up in mid-marketing season In
1858, and Bureau Executive
Vice-President A. c. Edwards on
his return from a European in
Spection tour told of foreign
buyers reluctance to purchase
and use the variety.
Only two domestic tobacco
companies are reported able to
secure their total tobacco needs
from offerings containing excess
Slve amounts of Cocker 1877 Hicks
tobacco and Hicks and Edwards
feel that excessive production of
the variety would aggregate a.
delicate marketing situation in,
1859.
Nevertheless. Hicks belives,
All the blame cannot be placed
N one variety. II an excessive.
percentage OF the total acreage
$ planted in any single variety
we would run into the same
problem"
It's natural for growers to
eek out the variety which pro-.
.uces high yields and provides
Ugh disease resistance, but we
must consider the long run int

practice restraint to insure the

N. {. Baptist Hospital Plans
Major Program Of Expansion

In a transaction paving the
way for extensive expansion of
its services. North Carolina
Baptist Hospital has purchased
the Twin Castles Apartments
property which adjoins the hos
pital.
Announcement of conclusion
of the sale of Twin Castles A
partments was made jointly by
Egbert L. Davis, Jr., chairman
of Baptist Hospitals board of
trustees, and George B. Kemp
ton, Vice President and Director
of Twin Castles Apartments,
Inc. Mr.. Davis explained that
the additional property will pro-
vide the institution with growth
space for the next 40 or so
years.
Acquisition of the apartment
buildings and the seven acres
of land they occupy gives the
hospital Is acres bound by Haw-
thorne Road, Queen, Everett and
Beach streets, and Grove Park
and WeStwood avenues.
The successful conclusion of
negotiations means that the hos
pltal soon will begin a broad
program of expansion which
will result in a significant con-
tributlOn to the training of per-
sonnet for the care of the sick.
a new type OF housing accom-
modatlunS for persons who need
to be IN the hospital but do not
require full nursing care, and
additional beds for the use of
acutely i'll patients.
Part of the l25 units in the
Twin Castles Apartments will be
used for living quarters for stu
dents of the seven Paramedical
schools operated by Baptist Hos
pital
The present Nurses Home will
be used for patients who do not
need intensive nursing care and
who come TO Baptist Hospital
for diagnoStic studies or who
need 10 remain near the doctors
for period of convalescence af-
ter their treatment for acute
illness within the Hospital. This
building is physically connected
to the hospital at the corner of
Hawthorne & Queen Streets.
AT the present, IT'S young wo-
men are enrolled in the School
OF Nursing. However, the hos
pital hopes TO expand this valu-
able training to more students
with these housing facilities.
Many young women of North
Carolina who have wished to
enroll in the school have had to
be turned away because Of the
lack of room. Last year, l78
applied for admission but only
II could be accepted. With the
added space in the apartments,
the enrolment will be expand
ed. Likewise, it will be possible
for the Schools of Practical
Nursing, AneSthcsia. X ray

oglSt. Pastoral Care. and Medi-
cal Record Librarians to be en-
larged. These schools, with the
resident and intern training pro-
gram and the clinical teaching

The North Carolina Exten-

Live Bait No
Better Than
Artificial Lure

If you're a "minnow man.
don't Scorn the fisherman who
snaps an artificial lure on his
line.
The chances are, he's CATCH
ing largemouth bass as fast as
you are. And, he may even take
more lunkers, claims the Mer-
curry cupboard company.
The controversy of live VS.
artificial bait has ranged ever
since an early-day cane poler'
ran out of crawdadS. One story
has 1t he ripped off a piece OF
his brightly colored shirt-tail
and baitcd up, proceeding to
aStound his fellow anglers.
Thus began a dispute that has
split the fishing fraternity into
two warning factions. Ask the
man who dunkS a worm or hell
grammitc what he thinks about
plug casters and he's likely to
flip the lid clean off his bal,
bucket. The advocate of artifi-
Gals holds his adversary in
about equal contempt.
Actually, both methods catch
fish. But handmade lures enjoy
"a better than two-to-one edge
IN effectiveness. This was found
when scientists in Illinois con-
Quilted n survey to determine
which technique caught the most
fish. Artificials proved far sup
erior. both in numbers and in
size.
The style of fishing probably
accounts for this wide differ
ence. In casting. n man covers a
lot of territory and exposes his
lure 10 many fish. Live bait ang-
ling. on the other hand, is much
more restrictive, depending
mainly upon fish movement, but
deadly when fish are finally
located.
The wise fisherman would do
well to use both methods, try
ing plugs first, then switching to
bait if fishing's poor. After all,
the final choice is up to the bass.
Science has not yet been able
10 direct the whimS and fancies
of largemouth.
