A. STALLINGS TRENTON. Dec. 11. — A. V. Thomas, the looking-ahead agri tural agent we have interviewed, with Trenton the county seat, is hopeful and -optimistic that his county will make up every penny of the 1948 loss from the tobacco acreage reduction. He is the most optimistic agricul ural agent we have interview He has already held a county wide meeting at which Dean Schaub spoke, but in January he is holding thirteen meetings through all sections of the coun ty, endeavoring to get the mes sage and the urgency to every Jones county farmer. The starting point in the think ing of Thomas is that in 1947 Jones county put in three hun dred acres of permanent pas ; Hu-'? of iarlino clover, dallas grass and lespedeza grass. There is the foundation for a large increase in livestock pro duction which is the main re liance in making up the tobacco deficit. Thomas points out that in 1948. not in a long range pro gram. but in the one year of 1 9 4 8 any Jones county- farmer sell for more than the loss from ,can grow sufficient feed for enough additional livestock to tobacco. Actually in one year the tobacco loss can be over come with livestock production and a profit made on the loss. That is optimism with inspira | tion if the individual Jones county farmer will listen and heed. Add these significant facts to those three hundred acres of permanent pastures installed this year. There are ceven 4 H clubs, two at Trenton, Pollocks ville and Comfort and one at i Maysville. There is an older Youths organization with mem bers beyond the 4H club age. < There are thirty-two boys in pig Samuel G. Williams, Mrs. Rai ford Trask. Mrs. Everett Hug gins. Mrs. T. S. Bradshaw, Mrs. Roger Greenleaf, Mrs. Robert ! Anderson, Mrs. Henry Von Oesen. Mrs. Harry Stovall. Jr., Miss Lillian Bellamy, Mrs. T. H. Wright Jr., Mrs. William Emerson, Mrs. Bryan Broadfoot, Mrs. William Barfield, Mrs. Ed metts and Mrs. Alex Fonvielle, Jr. :hains using Duroc, Spotted Po land China and Poland China Breeds. Each member gives two pigs out of the first litter to start two new boys in the chain, rhe Maola Milk and Ice Cream Company of New Bern is furn shing the money to start a iairy chain, in which each boy will give the first heifer to start off a new member. There is the Sears Roebuck company poul ry chain in which each mem oer is given a hundred baby ;hicks. Twelve pullets out of each hundred are sold and the money used to buy baby chicks :or additional members. Among ;he adults who already have iurebred livestock on a com mercial scale are Dr. Paul iVhittaker with Spotted Poland Hiina pigs and Black Angus cat le; E. E. Bell and Julian War ren with Hereford Beef cattle; N. W. Lowry, Cyrus Batts, B. O. raylor with Duroc hogs; J. C. West and B. R. Harrison with Poland China hogs. Note that J. M. Foscue, Jr., has not grown any tobacco'’ in four years. His ;wo hundred acres are given aver to hogs, small grains, soy oeans, lespedzea. He has his awn hammer mill for making "eeds. In Trenton there is a cooper ative marketing plant that this /ear sold 117,000 pounds of les pedeza seed, two thousand bush els of oats, five hundred bush els of soy beans. The farmer does not have to own stock. He can bring his products there and pay a slight cost for marketing. The presidet is J. S. Pollock with V. L. Pollock secretary treasurer. Among the directors are J K. Dixon, Jr., Leon Par ker, H. A Parker, W. E. Phil lips and J. M. Fosco. Jr. There is a five-county cooperative livestock market at New Bern, with J. M. Foscue, Jr., of Jones county president. and John Booth, of Pollocksville. man ager. There is a sweet potato curing house at Pollocksville operated by E. E. Bell. The Kin ston Packing Plant will soon be in operation. That is the Jones County farmers are in reach ol markets. Thomas is emphaizing thai each farm should produce its own food and feed and that actually, tach farm in the coun ty can produce surpluses, other than tobacco, for cale. He rec ommends that the corn be mar keted as meat, Jones county has nine thousand acres in tobacco and iwentytwo thousand acres in corn. We hope it does not lose a single penny m 1948 from tobacco reduction. OFFICERS ELECTED LUMBERTON, Dec. 11—Lumb erton Merchants association has elected C. E.
