ONE WAGER THAI
WAS WON ?AND
LOST?IN A WALK
Gilbert Coburn Picks Up $1(
By 57 1-2 Minute Stroll
To Everetts
(Roberronvitte Herald)
Because he did not know how man)
minutes it was by foot from Rober

| not as rich by $10 now as lie wa?
I early Monday. Gilbert Coburn agreed
t< measure the distance, guaranteeing
with a $10 bill of his own that Ever

| In ini Iiy font 1 nridrntully he wnn the
wager in a walk hut what a walk it
was.
Whilje tobacco farmers and many
others are talking in terms of new au
tomobiles. Coburn and Moore, per
chance, started talking on the subject
of walking at the Adkins and Bailey
warehouse here, where they are em
ployed. The more they talked about
walking the more interesting the sub
ject became, and finally Moore bet
Coburn that he (Coburn) could not
walk to Everetts in one hour.
Arrangements for measuring the
distance in terms of. minutes and on
foot were soon completed, and Coburn
started walking from the corner of
J H. Robcrson and Son's store down
the railroad with the street crossing
in .Everetts as his goal. Coburn

out of Everett- and learned by a
glance at his wat h that the hour was
all gone but six precious minutes, anil
he would have gladly hacked out of
the wager. His spirits drooped, but
hi- determination increased, and he
crossed the line in 57 1-2 minutes,
I roving that Moore was not so far
wrong, after all, or just $10 worth.
During the hour, Moore saw to it that
Coburn won the wager honestly. Driv

ASK EXEMPTION
OF THE SMALLER
COTTON FARMER
Bailey Says Small Farmer
Should Be Able To Sell
Six Bales Tax Free
?
Raleigh.?Cotton and tobacco far
mers are just as much entitled to a
basic exemption from taxation as are
income tax payers, who are granted '
ir-barmr-exemption of $1,000 by?thej
government, according to Senator ). i
W. Hailev The workings of the pres
ent Bankhead law, which imposes a j
tax of 4 cents a pound on all cotton
raised by a farmer in excess of his
allotment based on his average pro- f
duction per acre for the past five1
some and uniair to the small farmers, '
Senator Bailey maintains. As a re- '
suit, he announced here today that
as soon as Congress reconvenes he 1
will offer a bill to provide an cxemp- '
tion of six bales for all. cotton far- 1
mers, so that the smaller farmers can j
hate the piivilegr of producing that |
many bales without having to pay any
production tax.
Since most of the tobacco farmers
this year are apparently well satisfied
with the Smith-Kerr tobacco market
ing law and not objecting to the tax
imposed. Senator Bailey does not
intend t?? offer any new legislation
dealing with tobacco, at least not at
the present time. But l.e believes that
the tobacco farmers as well as the
cotton farmers should be granted a
minimum product on figures that will
be exempt from taxation.

Value of Crop Cut In Half
In 1930 and A Like
I Reduction in 1932 ~
jl Cotton farmers have learned that
excessive supplies redu<?- the pr?;e of
the staple and that elimination of the
surplus tends to raise the price.
I "For that reason, the cotton ad
) justment program was designed to
(eliminate the cotton surplus so that
a hale of cotton could have as large
Ja purchasing power as it had in the
base period of 1910-14," says Charles
r A. Sheffield, assistant extension direc
. tor and in charge of the Cotton Ad
. justment program in North Carolina.
, I "Studies made by government eco
nomists show that for five years prior
to 1929, the annual gross income front
cotton and cotton-seed averaged slight
ly ever $1,500,000,000. In 1930, it
was $750,000,000. In 1931, cotton far
? iners sold their 17-nullion bale crop
! for $528,000,000 including the seed.
| The crop of 1932 brought $431,000,000
|This shows how the value of the crop
was first cut in half and the half fur
jther cut- in half again. We know
what this did to the cotton South in
standards of living, ability to buy and
power to pay debts."
| It is known that a part of this dis
jcrease in the value of the cotton crop
came with the falling prices of the
period but it is also a fact that the
pricey -were -further depressed due
the mounting surplus. Mr. Sheffield
points out that consumption fell be
low production in 1929-30 and 1,800,
000 hales were added to the surplus
(that year, in 1930-31, consumption
fell still more and 2,600,000 additional
halt s were added to the surplus at the
close of the year. The next year, the
ai y-ovci?rras?further?increased?by
4,100,000 hales. This brought the
world carry-over of United States cot
ton on August 1, 1932, up to 13 mil
lion hales. The crop of 1932 amount
ed to 13 million hales which gave a
supply of 26 million hales for the
season.
With this large supply serving to
depress the price, farmers could not
hope to have their normal purchasing
power. Mr. Sheffield says at the low
jpoint in 1932, it took three hales of
cotton to buy what one hale had
.benight in the base period of 1910-14.
The adjuslnient program was up,
therefore, td~remedy such a situation.
BIGGER DEMAND
FOR POULTRY IN
STATE EVIDENT
Hatcheries Are Already
Booked Far Ahead,
Specialist Says
The increased demand for poultry
and fresh eggs over present produc
tion is leading to a conservative ex-,
pansion of the poultry industry in !
North - Carol iila, according to?Ray S.
Dcarstyne, head of the poultry depart- ?
tnent at State College.
Hatcheries in the^Statc arc already
booked iar ahead, lie said, and indi
cations point t? a favorable season for
the hatchery industry.
The development of hatcheries with
in the Mate leads to a baUtucd i;i?
dustry, He added, since the poultry
men utilize the superior products of
the hatchery in improving their flocks
and the hatcheries pay premiums for
good eggs from the poultrymen. The
two phases of the industry ae inter
dependent.
As the hatching season approaches,
poultrymen should start putting their
brooding and housing equipment in
good condition and lay plans for j
managing their flocks for a successful j
brooding season, Dearstyne said.
; Probably the most important factor
in the success or failure of the com
ing year lies in the quality of baby
chickt hatched or purchased, he con
tinued. If the chicks are not of prov
en stock, high in vitality and descend
ed from high producing, blood-tested
parents, no amount of equipment, care
j in feeding or management will de
velop a quality flock.
{ The production of quality chicks ia
expensive, he pointed out, but it is
well worth the extra cost. ?
