Cotton And Wheat Paritv Payments To Be Made In 1940 Parity payments on cotton and wheat will definitely be made in 1940 in North Carolina, says E Y. Floyd AAA executive officer of State Col lege, in clearing up confusion re sulting from consideration of farm payments in Congress. "There was appropriated at a pre vious session of Congress (225.000, 000 for AAA parity payments in 1940. and Congress is now consider ing appropriations for parity pay ments in 1941." Floyd said The AAA officer explained 4hat there can be no parity payment in 1940 on tobacco because the average price of tobacco in 1939 was more than 75 per cent of parity "However." Floyd said, "a farmer who grows eotton or wheat, or both, as well as tobacco, will lose his par ity payment if he overpiants the sum total of his special allotments. For instance, if a farmer has a 10-acre cotton allotment and a five-acre to bacco allotment, he could plant five acres of cotton and 10 of tobacco and still receive his cotton parity pay ment. but he would lose his perform ance payment on tobacco And if he planted 10 acres of tobacco and 5 1 acres of cotton, he would lose both his parity and performance pay ment." Rates of parity payments will be announced later, Floyd stated. The rate of any crop cannot exceed the amount by which the 1939 average farm price of the commodity is less than 75 per cent of the parity price. Producers of winter wheat may apply for and receive 1940 parity payments before their 1940 perform-, ance is checked on cotton and to bacco. upon agreeing to make re funds if subsequent check-ups show that they have overptanted their al lotments of any of the special allot ment crops. % Small Lhild Die* Sear Jamenville Last Friday Daisy Barber,, one year old child of Mr and Mrs. George Barber, died at the home of her parents near JamasviHe early last Friday-morn- ' ing.

Home Service Director, Virginia Electric And Power Company Steamed Puddings For Winter Dessert* Is there anything which tantalizes you quite so much when coming into the house from a long hard walk against that north wind as the pun gently spicy aroma which comes from steamed puddings? Not only do they have a palate and eye appeal, but a pocket book appeal. That is news for this time of the year while the budget is recuperating from holiday joys The making of puddings is a truly simple task, while the steaming of them is equally simple, as well as inexpensive. The deep well cooker in your range becomes an ideal steamer Use 2 cups of water in the cooker with the trivet placed at least an inch above the.bottom. An empty coffee ran with its lid, or a mold or tube cake pan with wax papei tied over it. gives a simple pudding con tainer. Grease container carefully and fill from a half to two-thirds full. Turn heat to "high" for the deep well cooker, until steam appears, then reduce heat to maintain a sim inei.

Bailey Talks About Leaf Tobacco Situation (Continued from page one) can tobacco each year. It is our big gest export market for tobacco and for other commodities. Its buyers have for years been buying our bright tobacco of high quality and paving good prices for it" The Wlth drawal of the buyers last Septem ber gave us some impression as to the disaster entailed in the proposed embargo. 4 When the buyers were with drawn. the Federal government came promptly to the rescue and advanc ed the necessary funds for the pur chase of 140,000,000 pounds of to bacco, most of which was purchased on North Carolina markets. This re lieved the situation to some extent, but did not lift the price to parity or to the standard which had obtained for several years. North Carolina's average last year was a little less than sixteen cents a pound. 5. Great Britain is purchasing larg er quantities than usual of tobacco from Turkey and other Balkan States. She is encouraging the pro duction of tobacco competitive with ours in South Africa and in Canada ?parts of the British Empire. The United States is in no alliance and not only so, we have a statute for bidding the extension of credit to Great Britain so long as she is in debted to us and is paying nothing on the debt. In addition to this, we have a gold policy under which prac tically all the free gold in the world is being drained into this country and every foreign nation is complaining that it cannot trade with us because debit balances in trade must be set tled in gold and they cannot get the gold, or if they have some, they can not spare it. Great Britain is pecu liarly in this position. She is carry ing on the most desperate war of her existence and she affirms that she needs her gold for the purchase of the meant; of warfare ami uf~food~ has two and one-half years' supply of our tobacco on hand. Moreover, the 140,000.000 pounds of tobacco purchased last year is still in this country. The British money is at a-j discount of about 20 per cent over j here which means that Great Britain ' must pay 20 per cent more than our market price for any commodity she purchases. She must pay either in gold or cash and since the trade bal ances are against her, she must pay very largely cash in the form of gold and she has no gold to spare. I am bringing out these facts in order that our people may problem, 6. Agreed that our gold policy may have been useful at the time, it now appears that its consequences is to here. I think we must make a cor rection if we are to maintain any thing like normal trade with oth er countries. 7 Another (act of significance is this Tobacco prices have been rela tively better over a period of seven years than prices of any other farm commodity. This has been due in large measure to the expansion in the sale of cigarettes throughout the world. This expansion has been ar rested. 8. What muy be done? We may bring about some barter arrange ments with Great Britain whereby she will take a certain amount of qur tobacco if we will buy a certain amount of tin and rubber or other articles which we do not produce and which are available to her. We may reconstruct our gold policy so that there may be. to some extent, a return flow of gold to Great Britain and other nations. This would do us no harm as we have over $17,000, 000,000, far more than we need. There has been a great deal of irritation about the large debt of Great Bri tain to this country being between four and five billion dollars. There is no prospect whatever of the col lection of this debt at anything like par. It might be prudent to suggest to Great Britain that if she will buy our farm products, we will give her credit on this debt in some attractive ratio to the amount of her purchase. This would help the farmers and would not hurt our country since the debt is largely worthless as it stands It would be in the nature of a con-1 structive compromise, helpful to both parties. There may be other ways and means and I am safe in saying that the State Department will exhaust them in the interest of restoring our sales of tobacco. 9. However, I am by no means as sured that we will recover this mar ket for our tobacco any time in the near future. In fact, 1 am fearful that we may never fully recover it and I think our farmers should be notified of this in order that they may make timely adjustments Mr. and Mrs Durant Keel and family have moved into an apart ment in the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Perry on Church Street. Turn out and serve with hard or li quid sauce. . Cream 3 tbsp butter until soft, gradually add 1 cup sugar.
