Sound Buying
Means Customer
Satisfaction

Neither new nor secret is
the formula for success follow
ed by Leder-Potter Depart
ment Stores which open their
newest establishment on Rail-
road Street of Tabor City
March IA.
But over the years that
formula has proven to be sound
and here is how J. p. Potter
explains it all:
There is a standing invita-
ton to manufacturers of top
quality goods to provide us, in
the sample rooms of our buy
ing office in Whiteville, with
samples of the best goods they
have available and hundreds of
such samples are brought there
each Year.

sample" Mr.. Potter said, land
remove all those that we feel
are not up to our standards.
Those that remain represent
what we call best values for
the money and these are the
ones that we order for Leder-
Potter Department Stores.
Each of our stores through
out the Carolinas also has di-
rect access to the tremendous
resources of the New York
mercantile industry through
our resident buying agency in
New York City. There, more

ing unit.
There are two methods of
loading the bins for drying in
storage. One is to fill the bin
and dry the grain as a single
layer. A more practical method
is the multiple layer system. A
layer Of grain is placed in the
bin and when almost dry an adj
ditioral layer is added and
died. Controlled supplemental
heat should be used with this
system to maintain proper dry
ing temperatures and humidity
and to cut drying time. It's i'm
portant to follow the manufact-
ure's instructions in loading the
bins, says Calhoun.

be used for such CROPS as small

In-Storge Grain Drying Explained
By v. P. |. Agricultural Engineer

What's involved in an in-stor-
age grain drying system? j. l..
Calhoun, agricultural engineer
at Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
says it has three componentS,
These include one or more stor-
age bins can be installed in
existing buildings Round metal
bins are becoming popular in
Virginia. The bins must be
equipped with an air distribu-
ton system. A common method
is to force air under a crop dry
ing floor then up through the
grain. Metal flooring is made
especially for crop drying. It has
openings small enough so grain
won't pass. but large enough so
the drying air can pass through
it.
In a natural air drying system,
the drying air is supplied from
a motor and fan unit. However.
natural air drying isn't recon-
mended in the eastern part of
the state because of high humid
ity. In-storage drying using sup
Elemental heat is a better choice
for such areas.
Supplemental heat does three
things. It raises the temperature
of the air, it lowers the relative
humidity of the air, and it in
creases the drying speed.
There is danger in overdrying
grain by using air that is too
warm, cautions Calhoun. The
heater should not raise the air
temperature more than about Is
degrees.
The burner is usually control
led with humidistat-a device
that automatically cuts off the
burner when heat isn't needed.
When relative humidity is high
the drying rate is slow. and the
humidistat turns on the burn
err.
In-storage drying using sup
Elemental heat. makes it pos
sible to dry grain regardless OF
weather conditions. The only
difference in natural air and sup
elemental heat in-storage drying

choice for farmers who want to

A drying system can help pre-
vent spoilage losses and it has
other advantages, too. With a
drier, grain can be harvested

To Appeal Case
Attorney General Finan said
the Court of Appeals decision
would be appealed to the Unit

he said the chances Of winning
the case were remote because
the high court has already up
held a decision by an Illinois
district court in a similar case
The State might follow two
courses as a result Of the Court
Of Appeals decision:
/. It could, in the future,
exempt Federal contractors
from the sales tax. This would
answer the courts finding OF
discrimination, but would cost
the State So million a year.
2. 1t could continue to
charge Federal contractors and
also impose the 3 per cent tax
on contractors working for the
State. This would raise the cost
Of State projects, but the State
would lose no tax revenue.
