OOOLKY EXPLAINS FARM BILL
(Continued from page one)
cent below the acreage which
could have been grown with raaxi- ?
mum participation or diversion
ander the program.
"Under the provisions of th4
bill, not in excess of five per cent i
of the naMonal quota may be set :
apart and allotted to farms on ,
fchich for the first time in five ;
years tobacco is -produced to be
marketed in the year for which 1
the quota is effective, and for fur- j
ther Increases of allotments to i
small farms upon the basis of the
following: Land, labor and equip
ment available for the production
of tobacco; crop rotation prac- ;
tices; and soil and other physical j
factors affecting the production of i
tobacco. The farm marketing
quotas for farms on which tobac
co is produced for the first' time,
in five years may not exceed 75
per cent of the farm marketing
quotas for farms which are similar
with respect to th? factors men
tioned above. This means t>hat the
new grower's allotment may not
be more than 75 per cent of the
allotment of an old grower, simi
larly situated.
"The bill will be administered
by the secretary through local
committees of farmers w;hich in
making allotments, will take into
consideration in addition to land,
labor, equipment and other fac
tors mentioned, the past produc
tion of tobacco upon the farm. In
considering past production as a
fawor, they will in all probability
take into account the average
amount of tobacco produced upon
a particular farm during the last
three years. This means generally
that a grower who produced to
bacco for the firs:- time in 1937
would not be siven ail of his
poundage production as a base

and a grower who produced to
bacco in only two of the last
three years will be given an allot
ment equal to only part of his
average production in the two
years. From such base 1938 ad
justments will be made,
i "It will be noted that in mak
ing allotments from the new pro
gram, the committee will not be
confined to the one factor of past
production, but is given a rather
broad and comprehensive formula
to the end that fair and just al
lotments may be made.
"Producers whose acreage does
not exceed the acreage allotment j
under the agricultural conserve- !
tion program will receive the ben-'
efits provided in t<hat act under
which acreage allotments will be
, made to each farm. The new bill
deals only with poundage allot
ments. I am sure that the depart
ment will make every practical |
effort to tlx acreage aliotineine
under the soil conservation pro
gram so as to result ill produc
tion as nearly in line as possible
with poundage i^llotments under
the new bill. If, therefore, produc
ers comply with the acreage al- !
lot meats under the one aci, they
need not have any fear of mater
i ial penalty under the other and
will at the same time be eligible
for payment under the agricul~i
tnral conservation program.
"The new act provides tor I lie
issuance of regulations under
which poundage alloknents may
be transferred from one grower i
to another. In the event a grower!
1 on account of hail or for other
causes fails to produce his pound
age allotment and his neighbor or :
some other grower makes an ex- j
traordinarily good yield which re- j
suits in his exceeding his allot
ment, under proper regulations a j
transfer of the allotment will be i
permitted."
Majority Leader Barkley (I).
| Ky. ) assured tobacco growers to- 1
I day tfiat the ever-normal granary !
program would be "satisfactory
to the tobacco growers of the j
country."
Barkley, in a statement, said!
that the bill's provisions "are de
signed to stimulate and stabilize ,
the prices of tobacco and I may
give the assurance also that this
measure will be completed and en- j
acted in ample tiime to affect the
crop of tobacco to be grown in
1938 and ought to have a desir
able effect on the pricejof unsold
tobacco of previous crops."
I FACTS ABOUT PNEUMONIA
. . By Dr. H. B. Haywood
A recent study of pneumonia
shows an average of 96,500 j
deaths a year. This represents anj
annual rate of 77 per 100,000
population1 and places pneumonia
fifth as a cause of death. If it I
should be combined wildi influen
za. the average annual death
rate would be 100, this placing
thig group close to cancer and
near the second place. At least 85
per cent, or 500,000 of the pneu
monia cases estimated as occurr
ing each year are caused by pneu
mococci. There are thirty-two re
cognized tiypes of pneumococcus
which are identified by the swell
ing reaction of their capsules,
when mixed with the specific rab
bit serum of their type.
Types 1, 2, 3, 5, 7. and 8 are
the most common types and prob
ably account for about seventy per
cent of t-he cases and eighty-five
per cent of the deaths that are
due to pneumococci. Anti-pneumo
coccic serums have been develop
ed for 'pneumonia due to types 1,
2, 5, 7 and 8 pneumococci.
To be most effective, serum
must be given during "the first
four days of the illness. The re
sults from serum administration
are, therefore, most successful if
given at the time of the earliest
recognition of symptoms.
In a series of one thousand
oases at a metropolitan hospital,
of serum and non-serum treated
cases, t'hese results were striking:
Serum-treated death rate
Type 1, 15.7 per cent
Type 2 ............ 33 per cent
Type .5 .......... 9.6 per cent
Type 7 6.1 per cent
Type 8 7.5 per cent
Non-serum treated death rate
Type 1 32.7 per cent
Type 2 46.3 per cent
Type 5 ". 28.3 per cent
Type 7 22 per cenO
Type 8 f". . . . 18.6 per cent
Recent developments in labora
tory procedure have changed the
technique of typing the pneumo
coccus from a complicated process
to one which can be accomplished
in half an hour's time, with sim
ple apparatus. As a consequence,
the use of serum in the treatment*
of pneumonia has increased in
great strides, and many lives
which otherwise would have been
lost have been saved.
Many progressive States- . have
get up whole time pneumonia
cotnmlgsions, with typing stations
and serum distribution centers.
Massachusetts has pioneered in
ffiif work, with New York a close
second.
The North Carolina State Board
of Health and the medical pro
fession of the State have a vital
interest in pneumonia control and
the reduction of its death rate,
and plan to keep step with the
other progressive States in the
Union in the fight on this disease,
which has been designated, "The j
Great Captain of the Armies of
Deatl^"

TUTE for 666 Jest to make three j

From Ingleside
The Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Mar
tin, of Kittrell, were visitors here
Friday. Mr. Martin, the new pat
tor on the Tar River circuit, was
making pastoral calls ii> and near
Ingleside.
^jnstTinn winter peas planted 1
by W. W. Fielder of Richmond j
county in October are now over
four Inches tall and up to a per
tret stand, he says.
A friend sends a picture of the
Dorothy Dix, of Japan. She is
Mrs. Waka Yaniada, also the na
tion's most famous' mother, who
is now visiting this country. Her
"advice to t-he lovelorn" column
lias more than a million circulu
tion'it is said. But our Miss Dor
othy's columns exceeds in a wider
phase of "human ailments" and
perhaps many more readers.
Rev. J. A. Martin, pastor ol
Trinity M. E. Church here, and
Mrs. Martin were dinner guests
of Mr. and Mrs. J. Y. Beasley
Sunday.
Mrs. John Young Beasley is re
covering from serious, burns of
her right arm as a result of the
overturning of a kettle of boiling
water which she was handling
;thout the stove-. , A burn of that
nature, covering the whole arm,
entails much suffering and incon
venience. but Mrs. Beasley is one
to meet such with patience. Her
friends are pleased that she )s re
covering nicely.
Fred L. Peoples and Miss Sarah
Jane Edwards were married at
Epsom on Siunday. Jan. 16. by
the Rev. S. E. Madren. Mr. Peo
ples is the son of Mr. and Mrs. B.
F. Peoples and Mie bride is the
daughter of Mrs. Loula and the
late Jack Edwards, former resi
dents of near Ingleside.
The negro school Im* returning
from Louisburg >fonday after
noon turned over a mile from here
near the home of J. Y. Beasley.
Several of the children suffered
minor injuries, and only one of a
serious nature. The bus was bad
ly damaged. It stopped bottom up
wards with the top crushed in.
On account of a death in the home
of the regular driver he was not
on duty at the time and another
boy was at the wheel. It i^
claimed by the children on the
bus that no blame is attached to
the driver in charge for the acci
dent which occurred on a ?et
slippery road.
It is rported here that Mfs.
Ken May was robbed of $60.00 by
two Gypsy women at her home in
Moulton sometime last week.

??-.The Latin ('last.
Every morning at 8 o'clock,
four Mills Hi pupils meet in the
senior room at Mills Hi, the ob
ject being Latin.
Under Miss Allgood's direction,
the class has been conducted i
every school day since September.
As Mills. Hi has no regular
course in Latin, 'uhis class was
formed by pupils who want Latin
in high school.' The pupils are ,
^Elizabeth Egerton, Sarah Davis,
Billy Alston and Kobert Suiitti
wick. ?
"They have found Latin very in-]
' teresting. as many languages of
'today were originated from it.
Queer words that we come into!
I contact* with now and then, the
plurals of which are queerly form- i
ed, are quite simple to these four |
J students now.
"Esse Quam Videre" and "Ego;

given way to football in the larft |

er can tell, the boys seem to be
having a lot of fun, for a great j
many of them may be seen on the,
field at^ every recess. Mr. Huggins |
Is tholr supervisor.
Another thing that's going
'round Mills Hi is the page boys
roll, a hairdress in which the hair
is merely turned under instead of
out. Gold necklaces, consisting of
a chain hung with a cross or me
dallion, may be seen, loo.
Everyone is anxious to know
who will go out for debating this
?^ear. Miss Scoville will coach
the, affirmative side an4 Mrs.
Bailey, the negative,. The query
for debate is: "Resolved that the

legislation."
The sophomore Home Econom

On Tuesday, Jan. 18, the Jun

on the following Tuesday, Jan.

were made by all who are pur

ring was selected for its neat,

H(,iid<'i'.son-l(ouiKl>ui'K (jaine
Mills High played a basketball
game with Henderson at Hender
son last Friday night and boy was
it' a game! There is a beautiful
courti in their gym and it was
plenty of fun playing on It.
Louisburg girls and boys were
beat badly, but just wait uutil the
Henderson team plays us on our
court.. (We'll see what we'll see.)
Wo'ii' better not be bragging too
much because you never can tell,
but we're honestly going play
harder than ever before.
Well, get-ting back to the game,
Henderson girls beat Louisburg
30-14. That's pretty bad (but we |
admit it)! Henderson boys beat
Louisburg boys 30 to ? and
that's pret?ty bad too. There were
many boosters from Louisburg at
the game, and they certainly
showed the right spirit. The teams
appreciated the interest of the
outsiders and hope that' they'll
keep up the good work by contin
uing to come out to the games.
The teacher had forbidden "lite*;
eating of candy aud the chewing
of gum during school time. One
day she became suspicious of a
lump in Jhnmie's cheek:
Teacher ? Jimmie, are you eat
ing candy or chewing gum?
Jimmie ? No. I'm just soaking
a prune to eat at recess.
Youth ? Let me tell you about
a fancy thin( ?
Girl Friend ? It is not polite to
talk to your friends about your
self.
"Some fellows seem to t>hink
that Just because they've driven
200,000 miles without an acci
dent, they are immune. Nobody's
immune if he gets careless." ?
American Magazine.
No matter how careful one may
be, or how expertly he can handle
his car, he is not immune to acci
dents. He musti always take his
chances against the reckless, care
less and inefficient. If all drivers
were careful, competent, used
compion sense, and obeyed the
road laws, accidents would be re
duced by at least 90 per cent.
