Page 2 THE DANBURY REPORTER. N. E. PEPPER, Editor and Publisher issued Wednesdays at Danbury. N. C.. and entered at the Danbury post( fficc as second class matter, under act of Congress. Danbury, N. C., Thursday, March 5, 1936 What About Tobacco? Many farmers ask the Reporter: "What about tobacec?" Nothing worth while has yet been accom plished since the Supreme Ccurt knocked out AAA. Tobacco is still sick, though the doctors are working heroically. (County Agent Kirby has furnished the Reporter with a clearer exposition since this editorial was written. See it in this paper.) The "conservation bill" has been passed by congress. This bill means that you may be paid to leave off and not plant certain acres. Millions or have been appropriated by the government to encourage you to curtail your crop. But wha£ is most needed is a "Shall Not" provision ii\ the law which will prevent other farmers who refuse to co-operate with the government, and who insist on putting out a bupaper crop while you are curtailing, from planting too largely. The tobacco States are trying to reach a "control" agreement, and all of the flue-curing commonwealths are willing except Georgia. The governor of Georgia is ai bitter foe of the Roosevelt administration, and refuses to call a special session of his legislature to "co ordinate" with the other States. The governor of North Carolina is also receiving some severe criticism for not calling a special session of our law-makers to take action, but Gov. Ehringhaus has hitherto failed to take action because he seems to be without faith in the plan, though he does not refuse. He just DELAYS. In the meantime, plantbed time is here and the farmers, not knowing what else to do, are planning for what it is feared will be a bumper crop. Last year 800 million pounds were raised. This year it is feared a billion pounds may be produced, which will mean certainly a dis astrously low price. In the uncertainty of the situation, every wise farmer will see to a home-supply provision in his 1936 program, and then a moderate acre age for tobacco. Fidelis Class of Mtn.

It was a source of grief to the friends of Mrs. Ophelia Hut cherson, on the night of Feb. 23, 1936, to learn that the end of her earthly life had been snap ped asunder and her spirit had taken its eternal flight. She was born March 23, 1909. She was the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Rhodes. The deceased was sick about a week and wag takeh away by that dreaded dis ease, pneumonia. All that a loving mother and friends could do was done but a pearly gate was opened wide, a gentle voice said come and farewell unspoken she calmly entered home, making her stay on earth 26 years, and 11 months. She was married to Jim Nat Hutcherson, Dec. 25, 1926. To this happy union was born six girls, all of whom survive with their father to mourn her loss. We cannot understand why it pleased the Father to take her so early in life, and in the midst of her usefulness, yet we sub mit to the will of the all-wise God, who doeth all things well. We shall miss her yet we feel we can say for her as was said by Paul, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Our hearts go out in deep sympathy to the bereaved ones, and especially to the little chil dren, who are left in this world without the guiding hand of their good mother. The funeral services were con ducted by Rev. Watt Priddy and Rev. Edd Priddy. She was tenderly laid to rest in the family cemetery to wait the re surrection morn. (Mrs.) ILA H. AMOS. Harry Throckmorton was a jisitor today from the Gap.
