Interesting Person
County Farm News
Very Interesting news comes to
the County Agent's office In regard
to the lespedeza crop in Person
County this year. Mr. P. L. Moore
called one day recently to tell us of
the crop in the Hurdle Mills com
munity. He said Mr. Terry nad
been in the neighborhood and baled
1546 bales for the farmers near
Hurdle Mills. Mr. O. C. Hawkins
leads the list with 509 bales. Arch
and Clem Whitfield have, more than
200; E. E. Moore, 160; P, L. Moore,
240; C. E. Hester. 90; while W. K.
Moore and Scott Hovstter have also
haled lespedeza hay. W. C. Haw
kins has a number of stacks of hay,'
as well as others who did not have
(heir lespedeza baled.
John H. Foushee comes in with
an encouraging report from the
Olive Hill oommunity. He had 17
acres of lespedeza which produced
11 big stacks and still has 2 more
to cut. He thinks this will make
stacks, which he will thresh for
He will also save seed with
seed pan as he mows the lespedeza.
This is the first real hay report
have had for this county. The
ught of the past few years has
lted the1 hay crop. However, we
to be off to a good start now.
it years ago there were only two
?aimers growing lespedeza. Now the
'interest is countywide. We should
like to have a report from any
other farmers who have a success
ful lespedeza crop this year.
Dewey Jones started the lesdepeza
-ball rolling when he sent in a bunch
of hay with a card attached saying
"It takes a longer reach than a
yardstick to outdo me." Prank Tim
berlake saw this hay and the ac
companying statement, and he came
back with a bunch of his lespedeza
and a note "The fellow who says it
can't be done usually catches some
body at it." I
Tobacco Base Acreages
We" have had a number of re
quests for information about farms
which have not had any tobaccco
planted on them for a number of
years. In some instances, the
landowners want to plant tobacco
themselves in 1935; in others, ten
ants wish to rent these farms and
plant tobacco; and there are also
some who wish to buy these farms,
and wish to know about the possi
bility of a tobacco crop. To all of
these we simply have to say that
we do not know. There has been
no provision made 4s yet .for cases
of this kind. We wrote to the State
Office and ask >d for information,
and their answer was that they did
not know.
88% Allotment
Since the price of tobacco has
been satisfactory so far we have ad- ,
vised those who have asked us to J.
sell their full 80% allotment. In
every case that we have worked
out the actual pounds and receipts ,
we have found that It would be ?to
the farmer's advantage to sell the
80%; that is, the full amount of
pounds on the marketing cards.
Georgia Cards
j- The State office has made ar
rangements with other producers ;
who did not have a full crop so that
we may secure cards to sell our
'surplus pounds. We advise all those'
who-have tobacco of medium and
agpd quality to buy these cards if
' imw wish to sell their tobacco.
Tn|te qards are sent, from Raleigh
to the County Agent's office ready for J
delivery. The farmer who wsihes to
buy a card comes to the office and
(gets the name and address of the
Georgia farmer who has the card
here with; these pounds for sale.
! Then the Person County farmer goes
! to the post office and gets a money
' order made payable to the Georgia j
j farmer for the exact number of
pounds on th's particular card;
: then delivers this money order or
a certified check or a cashier's
j check, made payable to the Georgia
farmer, and gets the allotment card
which contains these extra pounds.
Tax-Payment Warrants
j When you sell a load of tobacco
land present your allotment card to
the Field Assistant .at the ware-1
house, he makes out a tax-payment
warrant covering the number of
pounds you sell, and sends a dupli
' cate of this warrant to the County
Agent's office. This is true of every
load of tobacco sold by a contract
signer or a Kerr-Smith beneficiary,
;Every load of tobacco that you sell
i ON ANY MARKET is reported
j through this office. If you .sell on
[vour own allotment card or on a
Georgia card purchased through
this office. In this way we are com
piling Information that will be of
great value hereafter when we can
present this DEFINITE INFORMA
TION as to the pounds of tobacco!'
i made in this county. Heretofore, the '
Department of Agriculture has had
j no source of information except the
| census report. They based the al- !
j lotment for the flue-cured belt on
the census reports of 1919, 1925 and
11929. and all other reliable Infor
mation they could secure. We hope
every farmer will save every ware
house bill this year in order that
we may present substantiating evi
, dence of the actual number of ,
'
In conformity with your wishes, in conformity with the
honored ceremonial conventions, in conformity with your
idea of fairness of fee?our service will bring respect to
the occasion and win .respect for our profession. .

lief, and that all of the flue-cured
tobacco produced on this farm in
1934 has not been sold under a
flue-cured tobacco contract has
been destroyed."
Kerr-Smith Cards
A few cards were issued to farm
ers who could not sign contracts,
allowing them to sell a small
amount of tobacco without tax; but
they get no rental payment and no
adjustment payment. The holders
of these Kerr-Smith cards cannot
sell on Georgia cards, nor on cards
belonging to contract signers. They
ipay sell a number of pounds of
tobacco In excess of the number of
pounds shown on the Kerr-Smith
allotment cards, but they will be
required to pay the tax on such
excess sales. After Kerr-Smith
signers have sold the allotments
that have been issued to them, they
must Surrender their Allotment
Cards to the county office. In the

Liquid Laxatives
Do Yoh Ho Harm
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you need not taken
"double dose" a day or two later.
Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate
the kidneys.
The right liquid laxative will bring
a more natural movement, and with
no discomfort at the time, or after
ward.
The wrbng"cathaftle may often do
more harm than good.
An approved liquid laxative (one
which is most widely used for both
adults and children) is Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, a prescription. It is
perfectly safe. Its laxative action is
based on senna?a natural laxative.
The bowels will not become depend

for Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

A Gain To Be Proud Of
During the month of October our total sales amounted to oyer three times those
of last October.' This remarkable gain is no mere coincidence or lucky break but is the
natural result of our sincere efforts to give to our patrons the best service possible. We
feel mighty proud of this gain, not merely because we are selling more tobacco but
rather because we take it as an endorsement of our methods of doing business. We feel
?that the great switch to our warehouse by the farmers selling in South Boston is just
one way they have of telling us that we are doing well for them and that they are satis
fied with our service. We take no credit for rendering this service to our patrons. You,
Mr. Farmer, pay for service when you patronize a wareho'use and you are entitled and
should demand the best service possible. This is one reason why we have surrounded
ourselves with the best force possible to employ. We do not rely on selling tobacco
through friendship. If we can't deliver satisfactory we can't expect your business, and
we do not solicit along those lines. Results are what you want and results are what
we will give you, not a long line of weak excuses.
Leading The So. Boston Market
Leadership is always pleasing "to a warehouse and we admit that we are greatly
pleased at leading the South Boston market this year. Not from a standpoint of dollars
and cents alone but from the knowledge that this leadership can only be reached by
hard work and good service. It is a great sat isfaction to know that our efforts in behalf
of our patrons is pleasing to them. We will always appreciate your business and 'will
strive 'to please you. , _
