State Spent $11,716.59 on Transportation During 8-Months Term I The State spent $11,716.59 during the 19 J J-34 eight-months term in haul ing 2,182 rural children to and front I the several schools in the county, it was learned this week from a review of county transportation costs for the period. The expenditure for the per iod compared with $12,823 95 spent the year before for hauling 1,906 rural children to and from the ichuola for a period of only six months, reflect ing a saving of $672.76 each month jhe schools were .sp..,t)|< porting of children. The saving ad vanced here would appear slightly larger should the number of children .hauled for the two periods be com pared. I Thirty-seven busses were operated (in the county to supply the several schools, the following expenditures be jng nude for the transportation: Drivers, $2,126; repair parts, $3,003 88 mechanics, $1,626.50; gasoline and oik $4,166.53; tires. $303.98: body re ?P1' - $12.80; and contract hauling, $476.90. The 37 busses, traveling 893 I miles each school day on an average ,had trips averaging 24.1 miles. More Jjhan one-third, or 671, of the 893 j miles of the territory served was avail I a?le by dirt roads, very few of-which j were considered of better than fair I routes of travel. The apparent saving in transporta tion costs, while traceable to a cer tain extent to a more effici.nt system I of operation, was made possible by l?her factors, according to those ac quainted with the system. Parents land children well remember the un favorable condition that rxisted follow [mg new rulings handed down by Suu authorities last year, shortening truck routes and virtually prohibiting free transportation to those children liv ing within two miles of a school build ,ing. The main factors supporting the reduced transportation cost wefi" thtf elimination of three trucks altogeth er, and the resulting changes in truck routes. The mileage covered by the* trucks was reduced here, and there .throughout (he XOUtLtyoaniLhuw wilL .many children recall the changes and the reduced mileage when they start ed to school last fall. I hen, too, the service offered was not considered up to a reasonable standard by many; in fact, the state jWa' out to reduce costs and the trans portation system apparcnly suffered, many children in the county receiv ing the burden created by a forced economy program. In addition these factors contributing to a lower operating cost for the transportation i"f children was the improved cortdi |tion of the trucks when they were turqed over the several schools last fall. | The transportation business was advancing on an even keel until after , the I hristmas holidays and until the cold weather struck the section Near ly everybody and nearly everything froze up and bursted during that spell, adding officials estimate, about $1,000 to the operating cost for the right months period. All of the 37 trucks have been de livered to the central garage, and each of them will be overhauled during the 'summer months with the possible ex - ceptiuu of-a few. ?rnlmi)l aulliiiiitirs arr hnnefnl the nnlrr rangements to junk and replace all models in use during and prior to the term of 1928-29. In the meantime, rural school pa I ,ron? ?hould keep in mind tlia im portance of demanding just consider ation for their children when it conies | to transporting them to and from i ?ch?ol. For the sake of economy (many things were done that should not have been done in transporting little children to and from schools throughout the state last term, and one of the worst was the overcrowd injf of busses. 1 I ' Cotton Contracts Placed Before Raleigh Officials ? County Agent T. B. Brandon and his assistant, Mr Andrew Clark, are in Raleigh today in the interest of Martin cotton farmers. The acreage and production in the county are be ing placed before State authorities for consideration, and it is hoped the fig lures will be ao:epted. If the figures I are approved, the approximately 600 contracts will be forwarded to Wash ) Ington City, where rental checks will be prepared and sent here for dis tribution. Martin farmers will rent approxi mately 3,000 acres of cotton land to the government this year, and they will receive approximately $24,000 in rental payments, it is estimated. ? Wilson Farmers Not To Increase Leaf Acreage Mod Wilton County farmer, have finished letting their tobacco and are not considering a 10 per cent increaae In their acreage now. CHARLES PHAUP WITH FIRM HERE I Well Khown Tobacconist j .To Be With Farmers House This Season I Mr. Charles Pinup, well known to bacconist,- will be -connected with the ! Farmers Warehouse here this coming season, it was officially announced yesterday. News of Mr. Phaup's con nection with the market here this year 'is regarded as another encouraging indication for a successful season for ! the Williamston market. A nun of wide experience in the tobacco business. Mr. Phaup has been ' connected with warehouses cn ?cvcral ? market*, having bem located at Ahos kie for several seasons. He is well known to the farmers in Bertie, Her;- j ford, and other counties in the Roan- * oke-Chowan section, and comes to the | Williamston market highly rejoin- j mended as a tobacconist and citizen. PLANTERS GET i SMALL RETURNS I FROM POTATOES Price Ranges Around $1.75 ? Per Barrel; Little Hope For Any More i I -The potato season upen-d iu full blast for this section this week, with Eastern North Carolina shipping more t than 125 carloads on Tuesday. Of ^ this 125 carloads, 9J came from the Washington-Aurora territory. ( Bethel shipped her first two carloads , Tuesday, hut carloadings are expected to increase during the week. The j price, at present, is $1.75 on the plat- , form, with very little hope of a raise !, in prices. ; With??acreage?mTTfSN? tU TtlT? Bethel territory, which includes Rob- 1 i ersonville and Parmelc and all the north end of Pitt County, a tremen- j dous crop is expected unless the wcath , er takes its toll by rotting the*potatoes quantities.' They are now digging 60 barrels to tin- acre, and if? digging is postponed a week, the yield will e'xcced 100 barrels per acre. i It is estimated that two-thirds ? of 1 the North Cartrtiira zrop"te ownedbv large corporations, which have fur--' nished tlie seed and fertilizer. They will sell their holdings through the retail channel, which will give them ' I the power over the entire market. f j At a meeting in Washington sev | eral days ago, the corporations pro-:1 posed to fix the price at $1.50 per | barrel, but through the efforts of a few farmers, the price was raised to $175. The actual cash outlay for produc- j ' ing an acre of potatoes exceeds $90,' which covers the cost of fertilizer, seed, digging and hauling to market, | barrels and other incidentals. How : ever. this price does not include the | I cost of planting and raising the po tatoes. I * I CONDITION OF CROPS IS FAIR Cotton and Corn Showing Effects of Recent Wet Cold Weather Despite frequent and lieavy rfcins J ntly, the tobacco, pntitn a lift nats crops are progressing: rapidly, accord ing to reports heard from numerous farmers in this section. The reports described the cotton crop as possess ing a dull dilapidated appearance and corn is a bit yellowish front the recent cold-wet weather. It is understood that most farmers have kept up well with their farm work, even under adverse weather con ditions during the past few weeks. Added comments carried in the re ports received here maintain that those farmers who generally always com plain that the weather is either too wet or too dry and do not work un less everything is to their liking have plenty of grass and poor crops, as a rule. ? To Make Carts Here for Rehabilitation Forces Relief workers will start making carts here next week for use in rural rehabilitation work in this county and section, it was learned this week. The J {old Blount Manufacturing Company building on Smithwick Street has been I leased, and the carts will be built .there, it was stated. The first order calls for the construction of about 10 carta.? ?" j Infant Dies At Home of Parents Near Everetts *' Joyce Merlin Wynn, Ihe ?even month.-old daughter of Mr. and Mr?.

Perry, of Rober.onville. $20,000 in Tobacco Checks Going Out in Thin, County Approximately 200 checks a mounting to around $20,000, will be distributed to Martin County tobacco farmers within the next day or two, it was learned yester day from the office of County Agent T. B. Brandon. Addition al checks are expected today or tomorrow, but even then the dis tribution of equalisation and rent al payment checks is not near complete, it was estimated. Several hundred checks, repre tenting approximately $60,000, were received in this county tome time ago. And all o! them with the the exception of six or seven have been delivered to the owners. It is estimated that Martin farm ers will receive well over $100, 000 for their participation in the tobacco reduction movement. Owners are being notified by direct mail of the arrival of the checks this week, and others will be given notice just as soon as lddilinnal rh+rk9 ari? 16 LICENSES TO MARRY ISSUED ] IN PAST MONTH -I Mumber issued Reflects In crcac^ Over Past Few Months The marriage license hu eau in this ounty, while holding its own. a. coiu ?are.l with the number of license, sold n May on ryrar agu. aboard dm-id.

Outcome of Tobacco Act In Senate Said To Be Very Uncertain ? j Washington.?The house Wednes day afternoon passed the Krrr bill, the declared purpose of which is to place the tobacco-growing industry on a sound financial basis, to prevent un fair competition and practices in the production and marketing of toboj co enterin into the channels of inter state and foreign commerce, and for . "other purposes. This title carries the suggestion that the measure must be of very great import, but even quite a number of thusg who siipp6fi*d the bill entertain doubts of its importance and questioned its possible economic impact upon the tobacco industry. A roll call was d manded, and this resulted in 2Qo fo., with 144 against. A sprinkling ?>f Democrats joined the almost solid rankft of the Republi cans in opposing the bill. The proponents of this production control measure are convinced that it will he found of value as a pre:aution that cveil the agitation of the aubirCt haft al , ready had a tendency to prevent a surplus production in the Hue-cured territory this year, and that its pro visions -*ritt--become wholly effective in the next growing season. Most of the planting has been done in the Car olina*, but control measures may yet be taken in the burley territory of Kentucky, Tennessee, and western North Carolina, and in the cigar leaf territory in Ohio and Wisconsin. Production coltrol will be made ef fective, in the uncertain event of the passage of the bill by the senate thru the imposition of a minimum tax of 25 per cent of the sale price of the leat, a ratio ot taxation which Miay he increased to 33 1-3 per cent in the discretion of the secretary of agricul ture. # An aifl^hdment limiting the life of . flieUw to,,tw,o...years was adopt* d at the instance of Representative Marvin Jones, chairman of the committee on agriculture, who . manifested a mini mum of interest in the fat* of the bill. While up to an hour before consid - eianion- of the brtt hatf ~frrgint Tii the house, its friends hoped to change the ' provision which was adopted in the cemiliitte , exempting from the opera tions of the law those growers who produce 2,(NH) pounds or less, it was al lowed to stand. Some of those most i ( familiar with the subject are of the .opinion that such a provision would , have the effect of nullifying the law. j Inasmuch as a couple of thousand '.pounds iy about the qvcaqc produc j tion a<$h?tig the farmers. Tii ? tax im posed, of course, will apply to tobac co grown in excess of the acr age that may he allotted to the.farmer.
