2 Cars Wrecked
Near Union Grove
On Highway 271
A wreck which occurred at
4:15 p. m. Saturday on U. S.
Highway 271 near the Union
Grove School demolished a 1941
Ford, but no injuries were sus-
tained.
Officers reported that the. ’41
Ford, driven by E. E. Dean of
Avery, Tex., rounded a -curve
and go t on the wrong side of the
highway, and hit the 1950 Ford
on the left side. It Was driven by
Calvin C. Reynolds of Gladewa-
ter.
Mr. Dean suffered only minor
cuts and bruises, while Mr.
Reynolds was uninjured.
COTTON CROP—
(Continued from Page One)
surplus which brought on this
year’s controls, has been sold,
according to government offici-
als.
Removal of the curbs does not
mean that the farmers won’t
continue to get Federal price
support on the 1951 crop. In fact
the new farm law provides that
cotton prices must be supported
at between 80 and 90 per cent of.
parity next year, and Secretary
of Agriculture Charles F. Bran-
non is expected to set them at
the top figure.
The call for more cotton next
year means 6,000,000 bales more
than this year’s, crop and on a
par with the 1949 near-record
production.
Can Produce Much As Possible
The green light has been giv-
en cotton growers now. to pro-
duce ail they can.
Mr. Brannon’s goal of “at
least” 16,000.000 bales does not
mean that farmers will limit,
their output to that amount. The
opportunity for unlimited pro-
duction, plus the guarantee of
high price supports, gives them
the incentive to produce all they
can.
MIRROR SERIAL—
(Continued from Page One)
the steep climb to St. Gotthard,
every car went at a snail’s pace.
Ahead of us we could see the
beautiful snow-capped moun-
tains. Their beauty almost left
you speechless. The wind was
blowing a 50-mile-an-hour gale
and in a few seconds my face
and ears were numb. Snow was
blowing down on us from the
surrounding mountains. Ail ar-
oud us the surface was just'bar-
ren sand and rock. Aboilt 20
miles awdy, we could see a huge
glacier, but it looked allnost
within arm's reach. No- camera
can catch the real beauty of the
snow-capped Alps, with the
clouds hanging over and below
the peaks.”
The remainder of their Eur-
opean visit and other points of
interest back in England, will
be told in future Mirror install-
ments. Numerous readers have
expressed delight in the series
and are following it closely.
YAM PRICE—

ship to other states where thg
crop already is damaged by
weevils.
One encouraging thing about
the government purchase pro-
gram is that some No. 2 yams
can go as No. 1’s, because their
grading is not so strict.
About‘350 farmers planted
yams in Upshur County this
year, only to find it one of the
gloomiest for making any profit
on the crop in many years.
