Crops Look Fine,
But Heavy Rains
Would Be Hurtful
All crops in this section are ’‘look
ing fine,” in the opinion of most peo
ple who have had opportunity lately
to get about in the rural sections, but
heavy rains now might be very hurt
ful to prospects for a quality yield
of tobacco, cotton and corn.
Slight showers have been the order
every couple of days or oftener for
the past week or more. While the pre
cipitation has been in just about the
proper proportion to do the most good
growers are fearful lest a rainy sea
son might set in to do a great deal
of damage.

prepare their objections to the peti

the hearing be postponed until Oc

them sufficient time, Commissioner
Winborne said.
The petition of the railroads is ask

permit them to reduce their rates on
petroleum products ranging from
three cents to 17 cents per 100 pounds

Business has picked up briskly at the hot dog stand in Guysville, 0.,
where crowds have come to see a half-calf, half-dog born to a tw<>
year-old Jersey cow on the dairy farm of R. E. Calvert. The animal

Commission has full jurisdiction.
They have already posted identical
rates with the Interstate Commerce
Commission in Washington which
have not been contested, with the
result that these lower rates on pet
roleum products as applie'd to inter
state commerce will go into effect
August 15, Commissioner Winborne
raid.
Accordingly the freight rates on
petroleum products especially gaso
line will be greatly reduced from such
points as Norfolk and Hopewell, Va-,
and from South Carolina points, while
the rates from North Carolina ports,
especially Wilmington, will remain
much higher unless the Utilities Com
mission grants the petition of the
railroads and orders the same rates
into effect on intra-state shipments
of petroleum products as will Drevail
on inter-state shipments.
One of the principal reasons why
the Utilities Commission declined to
postpone its hearing on this petition
later than August 8, was that it hopes
to announce its decision in this case
before the new and lower rates apply
ing to' inter-state shipments go into
effect August 15, Commissioner Win
borne indicated.
PURE OIL STATION
IS BEING PUSHED
Work is progressing on the Puroil
filling station that is being erected
on the Seaboard “park” site at the
corner of Garnett and Montgomery
streets, and it is expected that it will
be ready for occupancy some time
during the mohfh of August. The oil
company has leased the site from the
railroad for a number of years, and
will operate a modern and up.to-date
filling station.
State Crop Outlook
Is ‘Excellent’
(Continued from Page One.)
very hot weather that prevailed thro
ughout that month, and the tobacco
crop was also suffering from the lack
of rain. A good many tobacco farm
ers had to start harvesting their to
bacco to keep it from burning up in
the fields- The stands of cotton were
the poorest in about 15 years, altho
ugh the hot, dry weatehr in June did
not injure the cotton crop as much
as the other crops, Parker said. Fruit
and truck crops also suffered heavily
from the dry weather in June.
But the rains of the past two weeks
nr so, which have been general over
almost every section of the State,
have changed the unfavorable crop
outlook at the' rinse nf .Tune *nto a
most favorable outlook in the middle
of July, according' to Parker.
“These rains have been of the gen
tile. easy variety which do the most
good to crops, since they sink into
the soil and go clear down to the
roots, while heavier rains wash right
off the surface,” Parker said. “As a
result the fields c 2 corn and tobacco
have taken on new life while the cot.
ton has come otu remarkably from
the bad start maded uring June We
should now have some of the best
corn, tobacco and cotton crops we
have had in several years although it
is still much too early to tell any
thing about cotton production.”
The present indicated tobacco yield
is 775 pounds to the acre, which is
in excess of the average but consid
erably below the yield last year. A
more variable quality is indicated be
cause of premature ripening in many
fieids.
