Cantaloupe CropMarketed Better

i ' ; f- ~t

Raleigh, July 26—Adoption cfbetter grading and packing met-cds has brought North Carolinafarmers premium prices for theircantaloupe crop this season, Ran-dal B. Etheridge, chief of theState Department of Agricul-ture’s markets division said.

“A program is now being de-veloped in the cantaloupe sect-ions with emphasis being plac-ed on the state of maturity atwhich cantaloupes should beharvested in order that they willbring maximum prices at ter-minal markets and also the ad-vantages of continuing the use ofapproved methods of gradingand packing,” he explained.

“The harvesting and packingof immature cantaloupes will inmany instances demoralize themarket,” ’Etheridge asserted. “Aneffort is now being made by themarkets division to prevent im-mature melons from being ship-ped.”

SNAP BEAN CROP .

WILL BE LARGER! Handy Reports Crop Will

Be Larger This Year.

Raleigh, July 26—Snap beangrowers in western North Caro-lina expect to harvest a crop

two per cent larger than in 1940,Russell P. Handy, junior statis-tician of the State Departmentof Agriculture,-announced today.

“A snap bean production of270,000 bushels, or about 6,000bushels above a year ago, wasindicated on July,” Handy said,basing his information on a U.S. Agricultural Marketing sum-mary. “The crop this year willbe harvested from an estimated3,000 acres or nine per cent un-d.er the 3,300 acres harvested in1940.

An estimated snap bean yieldof 90 bushels per acre, 10 bushelsabove a year ago, but 10 bushelsunder the average of “recentyears” 'was reported.

Handy explained that Hender-son county leads all other west-ern counties in the production ofsnap beans.

Western North Carolina far-mers last year received an ave-rage price of 50 cents per bushelfor their snap bean crop, or atotal return of $144,000.

“The crop in Western NorthCarolina was only partiallyplanted on July 1 and none ofthe acreage is ready for harvest,”Handy said. “A few beans havebeen picked in the Southwestsection of Virginia, but the maincrop will be harvested duringthe latter part of July and thefirst part of August. Recentrains have been very beneficialto late plantings.”V

IRISH POTATOESGO TO 22 STATES

North Carolina PotatoesSent Out Over WideArea Says Expert.

Raleigh, July 26—North Caro-lina potato producers have al-ready shipped 4,704 commercialcarloads of potatoes into 252cities and towns in 22 states, the

District of Columbia and Canada,A. B. Harless, marketing special-

ist of the State Department ofAgriculture, reported today.

“Shipping point prices duringthe 1941 season were higher

than in 1940,” Harless said. “Theseasonal range (June 4 to July

9) was $1.15 to $1.90 for 100-pound sacks as compared withthe 1940 price range of SI.OO to$1.90. Incidentally, during this

season most of the trading wasat prices above $1.35 compared

with the bulk at $1 to $1.30 lastseason.” Harless said “that wash-ed potatoes during the seasonsold at prices 10 to 15 cents per

100-pounds sack higher than

unwashed potatoes,” explaining

however that “fewer sheds were

equipped for washing this year.’”

The U. S. Surplus Marketing

Administration purchased many

cars of U. S. No. 1, size B, pota-

toes for relief purposes at 70

cents per hundred at variousNorth Carolina points to aidgrowers whose crops were smalt

sized as a result of the early sea-son dry weather.”

The North Carolina Irish po-

tato crop this year was estimat-

ed at 2,954,000 bushels, approx-imately 40 per cent under lastyear. Yields were reported un-usually light due to the spring

drought. Late in the season, how-ever, diggings and shipments

were delayed following a seriescf heavy rains.”

“Quality of the cobbler variety

was only fair, running heavily

to small sizes in many fields,”Harless said. “During the lateharvesting season the rains

caused many potatoes to go to

market showing dirt and theshipping quality was not excep-tionally good because of rot orbreak down.”

“Carlot movement commencedon June 4, six days later than for1940, 11 days later than in 1939,

and about 3 weeks behind 1938.Shipments during the third week

totaling 1,412 cars were theheaviest for the season.”

CUP LESPEDEZA,URGES AUTHORITY

Crop Should Be ClippedNow, Says W. H. Darst.

Raleigh, July 26—Amendmentsto the State seed law limitingthe weed content of lespedezaseed offered for sale and federalstandards designate “U. S. No. 1”hay as having 10 per cent or

less foreign material “make itessential for farmers to clip les-pedeza fields to control weeds.”W. H. marketing spec-ialist of the State Department ofAgriculture, said.

Warning that “lespedeza haslittle ability to suppress weeds,”Darst said that “while the crop

l

may grow and survive in com-petition with weeds, under suchconditions the yields will be ma-terially reduced.”

“Newly seeed lespedeza fields,intended for seed, hay or pas-

sure shoul be clipped soon aftergrain harvesting,” he empha-

sized.. “A second or third clip-

ping may be necessary especial-ly in fertile soil or after heavi-ly fertilized crops.’”

Darst reportsd that “duringthe comparatively dry Springthis year, newly seeded lespedezasuffered severely, and for theState as a whole the stand wasreduced and in certain localitiespractically destroyed,” adding“thin stnds of lespedeza are u-sually accompanied by a heavy

growth of weeds, especially af-ter summer rains.’

“Newly seeded lespedeza insmall grains should be clippednot only to control weeds, butto remove the tall stubbel andstraw after the combine,” he said.“This material should be rakedoff the field if the crop is to be

harvested for market hay. Itshould not be destroyed, but de-pending on quality, may be

baled for litter or it may be pil-ed in the barnyard for cattleto work over and tramp downfor manure.

“In second year lespedaezafields, weeds are often even moretroublesome than the first year.The clipping of weeds in lespe-deza fields will pay well in

ter yields of higher quality hay

and seed.”
