Once again It is emphasized to
the parents that if they are fin

Negro farmers of Duplin county
are rapidly entering the fast mo
ving poultry industry of the county.
Faallitles are now completed for
growing 700,000 broilers, per year.
Less than 200,000 had been grown

The poultry industry , has bene
fited related industries also accor

Ageitt for" Dupljh county Employ
ment in milling irtns has also in
creased: Latest estimates ' are that
any income received by a .worker
or producer "turns over approxi
mately five times before leaving
the community," thus benefiting a
large segment of the-' county's pop
ullation, If the present rate of new
housing ! facilities are mainatined,
Negro producers will be producing
in the neighborhood of 1,000,000
broilers per year in 1059. . .

Federal Land Bank
Lowers Interest Rate
The Federal Land Bank of Col
mbia has lowered its interest rate
to 5V6 per cent on all loans closed
on and after April 17, according
to notice received from Rufus R.
Clarke, president of the Bank, by
DeWitt Carr, secretary-treasurer of
the Clinton National Farm Loan
Association at Clinton.
Farmers of Sampson, Duplin,
Pender, Brunswick and New Han
over counties who have already
made applications through the
Clinton office for loans at the 6
per cent rate in effect for several
months will receive the benefit
of the lower rate, Mr. Carr stated.
At the same time the bank also
voluntarily lowered the interest
rate on all outstanding loans that
carry a rate of interest in excess
of 5V per cent, retroactive to the
closing dates of su;h loans. This
means that .even though farmers in
Florida, Georgia, and the .two Ca
rolinas during the recent tight mo
ney period had already obtained
several million dollars in loans at
a higher rate, they will pay not
more than the per cent rate
during the entire life of their
loans.
This is the second time in its
more than 40 years of providing
farmers with long-term loans that
the Federal Land Bank of Col
umbia has voluntarily lowered the
interest rate oil loans already on
its books.
"The farm Joan" associations and
Federal Land Banks are coopera
tively owned by the farmers they
serve. Loan , funds are obtained
from the sale of Federal land bank
bonds to the investing public. This
voluntary reduction In interest rate
is in line with our policy of pas
sing on to our farmer owner-borrowers
any savings' .possible thr
ough lower bond interest rates,"
Mr. Carr said. ,'

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
I see by the papers where Con
gressman Carrol Kearns of Penn
sylvania has Introduced a bill to
put the Star Spangled Banner in
Ihe key of A flat so folks won't
stumble over them high notes near
the end.
I'm in favor of anything that'll
help the Star Spangle.i Banner
git back in good standing in this
country. We got kids in school to-
aay that can sing all five verses
of Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog"
that ain't never heard of the Star
Spangled Banner.
As usual, they referred the
Kearns bill to a congressional
committee. That means it'll cost
the taxpayers about $10,000, wheth
er we git it settled in A flat or F
sharp. The committee will ask a
handful of guvernment clerks to !
make a report on the matter. The
report will run to about 200 pages
and cost about $10,000 which is
about par fer the congressional
report course.
Abe Lincoln asked: his secre
tary onct to find out something
about a saddle horse advertised
for sale in th papers. Six weeks
later he got a 150-page report on
the horse. After reading the first
two paragraphs, Abe throwed the
report in th wastebasket and call
d fer his secretary. He told him
fer all he snowed the horse could
be dead by now, and furthermore,
he Just wanted to know the good
and bad- points about the horse,
not a report on how many hairs

The sanctuary of the Kenansville
Baptist church was built around
1837 on the style of the new En
gland Colonial congregaional chur
ches. In the renovation program
the interior was completely re
built conforming at nearly as pos
sible to its architecture. The bal
cony has been rebuilt and all
woodwork refinished in solid white
The walls are of pearl grey fin
ish; the floor is covered wall-to-wall
with red carpeting.
The furniture in the sanctuary is
Dover white with Cordova stain
trim. The pews have foam rubber
cushion. The chancel is divided
with the altar and baptistry be
ing the facal points of worship.
A Baldwin Model 5 a console organ
has been installed with a sound
room, installation and choratone

a hot air and airconditioning sys
tem. Inside the marthex to the left
is a study for tne minister, xne
narthex is finished as the sanct
uary except for the floor which has
grey vinyl tile.
Throughout, the church presents
a unique and worshipful appear
ance. The public is most cordially

in the horse's tail
We got thousands qf Federal
employees spending millions ever
year counting the hairs in the
horse's tail. A thing like this Star
Spangled Banner report could ea
sily git nut of hand.
And I see where they're still
.''tritnting that business about high
er pay fer teachers. I consider
myself a living example of the
product of low paid tea?hcrs. I'm
in favor of raising a teacher's pay
high enough that they won't be
no more ignorant folks like me
in the nezt generation.
But I think it's about time them
politicians git back on the far
mer platform again. When I was
a young man no candidate could
git in office unless he run on a
platform of relief fer the farmer.
It never helped the farmer none,
but it made him f-pl important.
I been feeling mighty neglected
here of late since the politicians
is all running after the school
vote. The next candidate that gits ;
my vote has got to have a plank
in his platform calling fer bigger
and better relief fer the farmer.
One other item in the papers :
caught my fancy this week- Some
automobile manufacturer from ue-,
trolt says the automobile has been ;,
a "great moral force" in this
country. I can I il&scr mm vuc vvi..'.
Maybe it stopped horse stealing,
but aside from that I can't see
nothing it's done fer morals. .
