Julian E. Mann, state director of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, announced North Carolina again ranks first in crop insurance measures this week. The emphasis highlighted state performance in coverage and policy administration amid ongoing agricultural support efforts.
North Carolina now leads the nation in farmers under Federal crop insurance contracts with 30,560 in force across 17 counties. Of these, 23,574 were signed in 1930 and 1,986 are carryovers from prior years, with the state showing high signup percentages in cotton counties and strong premium collections.
The State College Extension Service issued four revised pages of Extension Circular No. 312, Cotton Insect Control in North Carolina, with updated guidance on doll weevils and other pests. Authors Walter M. Kulash and George D. Jones note increased insecticide use from 50 tons in 1946 to over 1,250 tons in 1948 and advise precautions with benzene hexachloride and other chemicals while warning about soil effects. Free copies are available locally or from the Agricultural Editor, State College Station, Raleigh.
Kings Mountain American Legion junior baseball team defeated Rock Hill 9 to 7 last Saturday night at City Stadium. Righthander Charles Kirby of Bessemer City pitched 7 1/3 innings, allowing seven runs on nine hits with three strikeouts. Howard Sonny White of Bessemer City relieved in the 8th, Bobby Wells of Clover finished. Jim Huttstetler, a 1919 team veteran, hit two triples driving in four runs. Kings Mountain scored all runs in the first three frames, while Rock Hill’s outfield aided by hard catches limited KM hitters. The clubs had met in Rock Hill May 25 but a transformer caused a lights outage, postponing the game.
In a tangled box score McColl and Grayson held steady with two and four inning stints, Kirby claimed the win and Phillips took the loss as Phillips Grayson and Kirby combined for wild pitches. A catcher and umpire names appear amid scattered statistics and timing notes.
