CONTROL PLAN
GETS APPROVAL
OF CO-OP HEADS
Inflationary Program Will
Likely Improve The
Farmer's Condition
New Orlfcans. —The acreage con
trol program for cotton, as provided
under the federal Farm Relief Act,
will be handicapped this season by
the fact that the greater part of the
acreage is already planted, and few
fanners will likely be disposed to
plow up their cotton to participate in
the potential benefits which the fed
eral act provides, it was stated re
cently by C. O. Moser, vice-presi
dent of the American Cotton Cooper
ative Association.
Mr. Moser added, however, that the
cooperatives have vigorously advocate
ed federal acreage control along- the
lines which the act provides, and con
sider it .an essential feature for per
manent recovery of the cotton-grow
ing industry. Provisions of the new
act will be broadcast in order that
all who so desire may take advantage
even at this late period, but an earlier
start next season is expected to give
the plan a more thorough test.
Mu*t Depend on Inflation
The inflationary program, of which
the cotton cooperative leaders were
among the pioneer advocates, must
be depended upon most largely for
improvement of the cotton growers'
position this season, Mr. Moser said,
adding that the full benefit of infla
tion could not be received until the
new farm crops had been harvested
and the higher price received by the
grower had been actually passed back
into the channels of trade. He point
ed out further that the object sought
by the farm organizations is to re
store the "all-commodity price level"
to the level of the five-year period
from 1909 to 1914, and that this does
not necessarily require the restora
tion of each specific commodity to
that level.
"Conditions of supply and demand
for a particular commodity may be
such as to create a price situation dif
ferent from that of 1909-14 even
though the average of all commodity
prices were restored," Mr. Moser
said. "In cotton, we have a carryover
more than twice the carryover of the
earlier perod. If acreage for the
next few years ranges between 35
and 45 million, as it has for the past
few years, an annual crop of 13 to 15
millions bales may be expected. Less
than 13 million bales of our cotton has
been consumed annually in recent
years, and even with the increase in
consumption which may be expected
with reviving trade, it is possible that
an average crop of more than 13 mil
lon bales might perpetuate the pres
ent carryover, or even increase it." A
brighter side of the price picture, Mr.
Moser said, was presented by the fact
that stocks of cotton goods, from the
mill to the retailer, are severely re
duced, and the increase in consump
tion of cotton might be phenomenally
great coincident with a general busi
ness reveval.
European Farmers Aided
Advocating revaluation of the dol
lar, to reduce its gold consent, Mr.
Moser said that in Italy 4nd France,
where this course had been followed,
farm commoditiea have a tax and
deb-liquidating power and exchange
value practically equal to that of the
pre-war period, while in the United
States tbey had only one-fourth of
their pre-war value in this respect
until a few week* ago, and have as
yet made only a partial recovery in
the preliminary stages of the refla
tion program.

SCHOOL SET-UP
IS ANNOUNCED
BY GOVERNOR
Every School Policy Now
Before Commission
for Consideration
The names of eleven men who will
administer the eight-months schools
in North Carolina were announced
yesterday following the appointments
made by Governor Ehringhaus and
acceptance by the group. In the hands
of these men every school policy and
rule of operation rest. They are dic
tators, so to speak over every school
from Manteo to Murphy. They will
consolidate, eliminate, change dis
tricts, and make any other alterations
in the school system in accordance
with the law and as they think best.
Taylor B. Atmore, of Washington,
will represent the first congressional
district. Mr. Atmore was a member
of the old State Board of Equalization
and is very well acquainted with
school conditions in this county.
There will be a few changes in the sys
tem in this county, no doubt, but just
what the changes will be, if any, no
one knows at this time. The com
mission will make a study of the sys
tem as it has operated in this county
and announce jts policies as soon as
possible, probably in August, or even
later than that.
The Farm Life High School, with
more than 60 pupiU enrolled, will
probably continue unaltered. Bear
Grass may continue to survive, due
to its location. Prospects for the high
school at Everett s are not very en
couraging under the new law, but if
there is any change there the com
mission will have to make it.
The county board of education of
fice here had no comment to make in
connection with the new law. The
provisions of the act are being care
fully studied, but there will be few
developments in plans for operating
the schools next term for quite a
while yet.
The 42 trucks have been stored for
the summer and on July 1 they will
be in the care of the State. Truck op
eration in this county has been han
dled at a minimum of expenae dur
ing the past two years, but the fu
ture method of operation will prob
ably be determined by the State.

Improved Cord Defeats
Tire Fabric Fatigue
* Improved cord for tire fabric has
been one of the most important fac
tors in increasing tire mileage, in the
opinions of "Chick" and A. J. Man
ning, of the Central Service Station,
local Goodyear dealers,
"The most talked-of and wide imi
tated cord is tile Goodyear Super
twist, a patented cord which stretches
up to 61 per cent farther than ordi
nary cord,' the young men said. 'This
is important, since it lias been long
realized that one of the major causes
failure is 'fabric fatigue,' which
causes breaks in the 'shoulder' or side
wall of the tire. Supertwist cord is
specially constructed to withstand con
slant flexing by springing back to
normal position after each movement
of the tire carcass, thereby increasing
the life of the tire," they explained,
is even more flexing," they said.
"Few motorists realize that while
driving 35 miles per hour, a tire flexes
between 375 and 425 time* per min
ute, or a minimum of 22,500 times
per hour and at higher speeds there
is even more flexing," he said.
"Before Supertwist fabric was de
veloped by Goodyear, flexing breaks,
or fabric failure due to fatigue, were
the cause of 95 per cent of all tire ad
justments, but now less than 2 per
cent of replacement adjustments are
the result of such breaks," it was
pointed out.
Moses Hopkins Wrecks
Car Near Powellsvillc
Moses Hopkins, colored, borrowing
Turner Slade's Chevrolet aedan, pre
sumably to haul a chunk of ice home,
passed up the ice house, continued
out of town and was nearing the oth
er side of Bertie County when he
turned the car over and wrecked it.
No one was hurt, and the driver aad
his friends straightened out the b«at
fenders and rods and returned hom«
to get the ice.
The tobacco acreage is exactly
the sise the farmers wanted it to
be. Just how Urge it is no on*
know* at this time, but an in
crease of 25 per cent is generally
predicted. Peanut acreage is de
clared the smallest in years, some
farmers declaring they were dis
gusted with peanut prices and that
they were planting only enough
of the goobers to make hay for
their team and fatten their hogs
next fall. A small increase is ex
pected in the cotton scresge, with
no material variation in the acre
ages of other crops noted so fsr.
BRUTAL ATTACK
IS MADE ON MAN
BY HIS BROTHER
Jim Henry Nelson Now In
County Jail Awaiting
Trial In June
Jim Henry Nelson, young white
man, is being held in the county jail
in default of a SI,OOO bond required in
the case charging hint with murder
ously assaulting his older brother,
Burley Nelson, near Parnicle last
week. Young Nelson, using his
brother's shot gun, fired a load of
s'hot into the man's shoulder and
face, and then struck him over the
head, breaking the gun and bending
the barrel. The attacked nun, plow
ing in a field some distance from the
home, was hauled in on a tobacco
struck by his wife and mother. His
Condition, thought to have been seri
ous at first, is improved and the man
is expected to recover, according to
reports received here.
Details leading up to the attack and
the real cause for it has not been I
learned. The two brothers are said!
to have quarreled the day before, and
Jim Henry returned next day in an J
intoxicated condition, or partly that
way. He went to Burley's home,
took the gun from jts rack and start
ed to the field, Mrs. Nelson was car
rying some water to her husband,
Burley, and Jim Henry is said to have
accompanied her part of the way.
When they were within a short dis
tance of Hurley, the younger brother
fired and later continued the attack
by heating him over the head with the
gun. Mrs. Nelson, trying to stop the
attack upon her husband, was pushed
down by the mad brother.
Sheriff ( . B. Roebuck Chief Wil
liam Gray, and Officer Wade Griffin
arrested Nelson the following day,
and Justice of the Peace Hurst bound
him over to the June term of super

AN INCREASE IN
BUSINESS NOTED
Reports Indicate Period of
Extreme Gravity Is
Behind Us
Washington, May 21.—1n the re
opening: of banks at the rate of 125
weekly Jesse H. Jones, chairman of
the Reconstruction corporation, to
day saw an indication that credit for
business is being diverted-- into more
normal chanels and the flow increas
ing.
Pouring of money by the corpora
tion into business has decreased ma
terially, Jones said in a statement.
He added that re-payments to the
corporation are increasing.
I'ariuers and livestock men, Who
borrowed through the . corporation's
regional agricultural corporations,
were described by Jones as re-paying
loans at the rate SIOO,OOO a day.
I bey obtained $1.(0,000,000 in seven
months, he said, and have paid back
$7,500,000. . ' *"*
Banks and other who
received more than a billion and a
half, have re-paid $500,000,000 lie add-
"The advance toward national re
covery, of which there has been a
decided evidence now for a period of
two months," said "is support
ed by information 'reaching the Re
construction Finance corporation.
Two essential elements on which this
statement is based are the decrease
in the number of applications which
the corporation is receiving for loans
to banks and the rate of liquidation
on loans outstanding.
"Reports to Washington from the
loan agencies throughout the coun
try substantiate both of these con
clusions, a clear indication that the
period of extreme gravity is behind
us."
