Thomas and Raymond Knight were appointed will make such investiga tion on a stable basis and report bade to the rOain group with reeommenda / tions Saturday morning. This com mittee will make an effort to find out how similar organizations are’ functioning elsdwhere. It is probable that a permanent organization may be effected at the Saturday meeting. ■ County Agent E. O. McMahan ex plained, the object of the meeting, which, he said, was to form a poul , try association for the purpose of pro moting the raising of better fowls 'and of encouraging;-more people to _raise poultry as a business proposi tion. ( He said the development of a bet ter market for eggs was an impor *-tant objective in the work of the as sociation, as there is already an am ple market for poultry, but only a limited one for eggs, He suggested . the adoption of a trade mark for the products of the association and an arrangement whereby eggs can be stored when prices are low, Mrs. Thomas J. McPherson Was “chosen temporary president, Mrs. John G. Watson, vice-president and E. 0. McMahan, secretary of the associa tion. --. ■' Ownership of around 3,000 fowls was present at the meeting and the . hope was expressed that owners of from five to ten thousand fowls might be induced to join the association. 1 CARIBBEAN CRUISE.

HUEY LONG FINDS SENATB ?A DODDERING SET Line The “political paralysis" of the - Democrats 'and the “un-American”. actions of Republican . leader* Were criticised by O. S. Senator Huey P.1 long on his second visit to New Or-I leans since he donned his seatorial toga two weeks ago. . 4 ‘‘To think in terihs "’of America I have to get away from Washigton”, Long said. Washington is the farth-| est spot from the United States i' have ever'seen.” f ■' - I Louisian’s junior Senator declared a large number of Republican officials feel the trouble with America is caused by concentration of wealth, but none of them will do anything-to ' correct the condition. »■ “Ibe most sorrowful thing which I have found,” Long said, “is the po litical paralysis that is effecting the' Democrats. —. 'f "Over in the Senate,” he continued, “wev seem likes whipped rooster, with the victor picking us on 1 the head and all of us- standing there, bleeding and taking it* except that some of us take it on ourselves to - •eat as the outer* guard to veil the • Republican disciples. " 1 “The world is disgusted with Mel donietn, with Hoover and Hooverism, past, present and future, and we’ve had twelve years of it. But with a country anxiously awaiting for the Dsihoenits to deliver the blow there A**®* to be plenty of them ready to i - step outside in front of the Republican ' lodge hall and support everything that Heilonism, Hooverism and Daugh tryisin propose and stand for." ' Long declared the Federal Trade Commission was “ a stench in the nos toils of the American peoplt, yet with the help of thf Democrats in tbe-sen ate, they are helpless to reconfirm its members.’ ’ He said /"the stool pigeons of Mel lon" had bossed the affairs of the Re publican party so long the country now is faced With bankruptcy, disast er and distress. . Long declared his purpose in com ing to New Orleans the second time since he took the oath of office two weeks ago Was to open a law office and to attend to some family matters. LAMBETH SEEKS AIDJTQ FINANCE COTTON SURPLUS Representative Walter Lambeth, of1 t}ie Congressional district along with Representative Kerr of the 2nd dis trict and Bolwinkle, of the Ninth dis trict composing a committee of North Carolina delegation in Congress .head ( ed by Senator Bailey of North Caro lina and Senator Smith of South Car olina, called upon General Dawes and Eugene Meyers, resident and Chair man of the board.of the Reconstruct tion Finance Corporation, on Thurs day of last week about a plan, hith erto discussed with the resident, to hold off the market 5,00<M>00 bales of cotton in addition to the 7,000,000 bales that have been placed in stor age with the aid of the Farm Board and the banks of the Southern states. This visit *was made in the hope that the Reconstruction Finance Corpora tion would be able to arrange the necessary financing; to carry over the surplus of 12,000,000 bales, from one to three years, provided the growers would agree to curtail production dur ing the year 1932. General Dawes and Chairman Mey- j er assured the committee that the Re construction Finance Corporation would give every assistance consistent with the provisions of the law creat-. ing the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration and that definite plans would be worked out with the committee ' just as soon as the organiation of the1 new corporation had been completed and the rules and regulations Worked out. Representative Lambeth stated that he was pleased with the cooperative spirit manifested by these high offi- j cials of the new $2,000,000,000 corpo ration and that he was sure that Gen eral Dawes and Mr, Meyer would pur sue a liberal rand , sympathetic policy in order to extend the maximum aid to relieve the distressful condition of the cotton growers of the South. - . ---7--.v-' SEE*; TO BETTER NIGHT* DRIVING OF, CARS j “In making an analysis of the situ ation with respect to blinding and glaring headlights on our highways the State Highway Commission has found that these points stand out clearly,” stated Chairman E. B. Jeff ries today. <(D1_a ih. _.1_ __a__ have made little" or no improvement In headlamp equipment with recent years insofar as the blinding effect experienced in meeting vehicles at night is concerned.” * ' . J “iSecond, it is a (well recognized fact that only a small percentage of mo-1 torists make use of the light tilting1 and dimming devices provided by the * manufacturer.” “ilurd, it would be very expensive J for the State and for the motorist to undertake the periodic testing and ad | justment of headlights in an effort to make them comply with the statute.” For over two years the State High way Commission, through its various agencies, has been conducting an in vestigation to determine whether there was some practical and econom cal means whereby automobile head tights might be rendered permanent y non-glaring without effecting the vision of the driver. After many Months of careful consideration it has reen decided to recommend to the mo torist a permanent dimming device. One of these has been selected and authorized at a uniform nominal price, and it has now been placed in many hundred service stations and garages throughout the entire states. For months past highway authori ties have been besieged With com plants about the fearful loss of life and property arising from the stead ily mounting number of automobile mishaps. The State Higliway Pa trol, according to Captani Charle D. Farmer, has received many mess ages of commendation for its efficient handling of traffic matters. With these words of praise is almost al ways coupled the plea to do something about the blinding glaring headlight situation. In keeping with a special ordinance which has been published throughout the state 4t is rujitg the duty of the members of the S&te Highway Pa trol force to direct motorists to gar ages and service stations to have the headlights of. thehstutoinobiles made non-glaring and to advise the motor ist the best i . and .most economical method of having it done. . The State Highway Commission now desires to rail on the public to lend its whole hearted support in this ef fort to improve the night driving conditions on ovut d^ghways. The mo torist will save himself and members of the Highway Patrol much annoy ance by immediately having head lights put is orderg CERTIFIED SEED BEST 33D BE PLANTED'! Those crop seeds /which have been grown under the Supervision of the ' North Carolina • Crop Improvement Association and have been certified as to their quality by the Association are the best to plait Particularly is this true this year when quality must count in the marketing of all farm produce-.— “Crop seeds which have been certi fied by the Crop Improvement Asso ciation are of the higheset quality be cause they conform to the standards if. the International Crop Improve ment Association,” says W. H. Darst, iirector of this work at State Colleges. ‘Then, too, certified seed must be of » variety approved by the North Carolina Experiment Station. Before. » variety of eligtblefor certification t must show merit in comparative field trials for a period of at least hree yarn. Certified seed must al so past a rigid field and bin inspec don. The first inspection is made in he field before harvest when the crop is studied for purity of variety, he presence of noxious weeds, and for plant diseases.” After the seed has been harvested, cleaned and prepared for market, rep representative sample are secured and analyzed in the State seed laboratory cflor. germination,' purity of variety, weed seeda and foreign materials, rhe seeds must always conform to high standards of quality, Mr. Darst declares. The inspections are made by seed experts employed by the State and1 these men must qualify as disinterested in either the crop or the person growing the seeds. All claims is to origin, breeding, manner of threshing and cleaning must be veri fled by the grower. . ji Mr. Darst says no other'source of seed fouiid on the market is So care fully checked as to quality and value. SPRAYING COSTS LITTLE --v—.yBUT MEANS MUCH The cash outlay necessary for spray materials needed to produce quality apples and peaches in (the farm owned orchards of North Carolina is com paratively little, yet high quality fruit cannot be produced without spraying. ' ‘This is one of the most important orchard operations,” says H. E. Nis Wonger, extension horticulturist at * State College. “The cash outlay, for spray materials including gas ana on for the power machines has averaged about $3 an acre for apples and $1.50 an acre for peaches according to pro duction records kept by a .number of orchard men in 1981. Where it is necessary to hire outside labor an ad ditional cash putlay of about $5 an acre will'be necessary. The apple or chards in which these production rec ords were kept varied from ,1 to 30 acres with abodt 50 trees to the acre. The mature trees were somewhat un dersized and ranged in age from 15 to 20 years. There were also some younger trees from 7 to 12 years old.” The amount'of dilute spray solu tion used in covering the orchards at one spraying, averaged from 1 1-2 to 2 gallons a tree or about 75 to 100 gallons an orchard. The peach or chards studied by Mr. Niswonger were located in the upper Piedmont region and varied in size from 5 to 12 acres each. The trees were from 4 to 6 years of age. _ There were 5 to . 7 spray applications for the apples and 4 to 5 fpr toe peaches. £" Growers sometimes try to cut com- 1 ers in times of poor prices fr their fruit, but one cannot save dollars by not spraying, the horticulturist says. During periods of poor prices, qual ity fruit will move faster than fruit of low quality fruit will move faster than fruit of low quality. Cutting hut one or 4wo of the sprays there fore may have toe opposite effect from what was expected. CUSTOM HATCHING—Two and one half cents per egg. Nine years i experience. Mrs. F.

Open diplomacy that substitutes frankness for secret scheming and negotiation. Open opportunities, open doors in . business... And modern business in general conduct in an honest and open manner. •• No force has been as powerful as advertising, in bringing American business into the open. A manufac turer who advertises, issues an open 1 challenge to every competitor to pro duce better goods if he can. He in vites the public to compare his article with all others. He makes definite claims for his product over his own signature. And he knows the vital importance of keeping his promises. Advertising tells youwhere you can get the greatest value for your money. When you buy an advertised article, you know it is dependable. An unknown product means nothing. Ad vertising prohibits the worthless, and promotes the good. -- The advertisements in THE EX PRESS are the record of business progress, the report to you of the ' manufacturers and merchants who serve you.
