Land Of Cotton
And Of Livestock
Cotton from the 1940 crop has been
picked and sold from most Southern
farms. On many farms, this means
that the flow of revenue from lint J
and seed has ended or another sea
son. But on thousands of other farms
which also have picked and sold their
cotton, revenue will continue to come
in throughout every month of 1941
The difference between the two j
groups of farms lies in different
ways of utilizing their cottonseed. '
Farms that secure year-round rev
enue from their cotton crop are those
that sell their cottonseed; but at the
same time, secure from their cot
ton oil mill, a supply of cottonseed '
meal, or cake, and hulls for live-,
stock feeding.
By feeding cottonseed products to j
dairy and beef cattle, sheep and'
hogs, turkeys and chickens, these)
farmers are obtaining more and bet
ter-balanced income from their cot
ton crop. They are making better
use of their labor and land. They are
adding the fertility value of live
stock manure to their soil. They are |
making better use of their home- j
grown grains and roughages, by feed- i
ing them in rations balanced liv rot-1
tonseed products. ^
Editors, bankers, businessmen and
the entire community benefit from
the sound program of these farmers,
just as farmers, themselves, benefit
from this year-round utilization of
cottonseed feed products. It is these
farmers who make possible the 1
building of milk plants, poultry I
plants, packing houses and other in
dustries in the South. It is these far
mers who have buying power in
April and May as well as in Octo
ber and November. They are the far
mers who contribute most to the
economic well-being of the agricul
tural and business life of fhe Cotton
Belt.
Fortunately for the South, the'
number of farmers who make effi
cient use of the feed products of
their cottonseed is steadily increas
ing Aided by agricultural colleges,
experiment stations. Extension Serv
ices, vocational agriculture leaders,
cotton oil mills and other agencies,
farmers of the cotton belt are com
bining cotton production and live
stock production through better Jmd
larger use of cottonseed feed-<prod
uets.

Worthless checks are flooding this
s? ction of eastern North Carolina,
according to a report coining from
the office of the Martin Coiint> Shot
iff. Charles B Roebuck, here today.
Throwing up his hands in utter help
lessnoss in coping with the situation,
Slu riff Roebuck stated that lie had
seen and worried with more bad
cheeks during the past lew Weeks
than m any other similar period
since he had been an offici i of the
county.
During the few past 'weeks, the
sheriff and his assistants 'have
served twenty worthless check war
rants, most of them coming from out
quite a few to officers in other coun
ties. Serving, more or less, as a col
lection agency, the sheriff's office
once fried to effect settlement witrhr"
out bringing the alleged law viola
tors,Into court. The plan worked in'
a few cases and was appreciated by
some, but the increase m the limn
her of had checks lias forced the
officer to "hear down" on the allog
ed violators of the law. Armed with
a bad check warrant, office; r of tin
coun'y ar< demanding payment and
case cost> ??i requiring bond. Unable
to give bond, the alleged violator is
jail-d. On( was ordered held in the
"cooler" yesterday until a hearing
could he arranged
In effect now for si vera I years
the had cheek lflw lots virtUrdly
made a collection agency of the sher
iff's office Holding a hack check,
the payee procures a warrant. Be
fore the warrant is served and re
turned, the giver comes across with
the money and the charges are drop
ped, leaving some costs unpaid and
prosecution incomplete.
Sheriff Roebuck took a definite
stand yesterday, and from now on
the giver of a worthless check will
have to accept the consequences. He
may pay the amount of the check
and the costs for handling the war
rant; he may give bond until a hear
ing can be arranged, or he may -ge
to jail to await trial.
Reports from deputy collectors of
the State Department of Revenue
have been complaining about "slow"
and worthless checks. "I have never
seen so many of the worthless things
before," one deputy collector was
quoted yesterday as saying
Although he is trying to handle all
worthless check warrants sent in
states that offciers are refusing serv
ice on tome of those he is sending
into other counties
That the problem may best be
solved for the homefolks, the offi
cers is advising against the issuance
of checks unless there are sufficient
funds to the bank accounts to cov
er the drafts
tries; requiring radio operators to
establish their citizenship; increase
of United States broadcasts to South
America to combat totalitarian in
