The undersigned qualified as Administrator of the Estate of Dewitt Hall, deceased, of Cleveland County. Claims must be presented by November 22, 1949, or be barred. Debts should be paid to the Administrator, T. J. Hull, as of November 22, 1918.
The nation’s farmers will spend a record 18 billion dollars to produce 1948 crops, per Charles E. Clark of the State College Extension Service citing a U S Department of Agriculture report. Cost rates rose sharply from 1946 to 1947 by 22 percent while farm prices rose 20 percent, with 1948 early months showing corn costs up 14 percent against a 17 percent rise in prices.
In 1948 many counties report a record seeding of permanent pasture. Teague notes a forecast crop yield of 690000 bales for North Carolina amid Cyclone weather and agricultural outlook.
The Kings Mountain Herald reports farm costs are higher across the board with insurance, taxes, wages, and prices for machinery and inputs reaching new highs. Land rents and values climb while some product prices fall. Experts urge farmers to shift crops and livestock toward hogs, improve crop efficiency, and leverage favorable cost price relationships next year.
The State's commercial seed producers represented by the North Carolina Crop Improvement Association and the North Carolina Foundation Seed Producers Inc plan their annual meeting January 6 and 7 in Concord. Dr. R. P. Moore announced the full program featuring awards in the state corn production contest, 4-H and vocational participants, and a barbecue for 100 bushel club families. Notable speakers include L. Ballentine, E. Collins, James T. Conner Jr., W. V. Secrest, John W. Weaver, and Glenn Klingman. On day two, Farm Agent F. W. Morrison, and M. A. Abrahamson discuss seed marketing and economics.
The city commission will consider an ordinance to annex 18.68 acres in Crescent Hills and Nessler area at a December 20 1945 meeting at City Hall. If a petition by 139 qualified voters or 15 percent of Kings Mountain voters is filed, the election on annexation must be held in both the city and proposed area. The description begins at a point where the current city limit intersects Crescent Hills and Nessler lines and proceeds along the existing boundary to determine the annexed tract.
