TIN
Three Bolivians, leading producers
of tin in this hemisphere, are in
Washington for conference with offi
cials who hope to establish tin smel
* ters in the United States. At pres
ent, we rely on foreign smelters for
about ninety-nine per cent of our
refined tin'and national defense offi
cials consider the establishment of
refineries in this country of prime
importance.
STANDARDS
Two pieces of metal?a kilogram
of weight and meter bar?standards
for the weight and length of things
in the United States, are closely
guarded in a vault in Washington.
They are modeled after the interna
tional standards that reside in a vault
in Paris.
HOME DEFENSE ?
The prospect is that some legisla
tive action will be taken to provide
for "home defense" forces to replace j
National Guardsmen called into spe-,
cial training. Just what will be done
is uncertain, but congressional action
is probable. j
ALIENS
The number of aliens in the Unit
ed States is estimated at 3,535,338
by a bureau of the Department of
Justice. The figure is said to com
pare with 6,284,613 aliens in 1930.
Nearly forty per cent of the aliens
reside in the states of New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
. ?
CREDIT FOR VOLUNTEERS
When the War Department calls its
first draft of 400,000 men, each State
will be given credidt for the men it
already has in the Army, Navy, Ma
rine Corps and National Guard. This
means that communities which have
supplied the smallest number of vol
untary enlistments will furnish the
largest number of draftees.
GOLD
?Gold reserves in the United States
now amount to $20,871,000,000, rep
resenting a gain of $4,263,000,000 in
the last twelve months. In addition,
there is stored in this country the
sum of $1,680,000,000 earmarked for
foreign accounts.
FARM INCOME
Farm income for 1940 is estimated
at $8,900,000,000, or $360,000,000
more than last year, by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. The figure
includes products sold and Govern
ment payments.
WALLACE'S TOUR
Henry A. Wallace, Democratic can
didate for Vice-President, is in the
midst of a fifteen-day tour of five or
six Mid-Western states. Included in
his schedule were visits to Illinois,
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and sev
eral other states.
$1,000 A MONTH
Unconfirmed reports are that
American pilots are being engaged to
fly bombers across the Atlantic to
Great Britain. The pilots to be given
$1,000 a month for two trips, with a
bonus of $500 for each additional
trip.
EMPLOYMENT
Nwilly g vbgkq cmfwy ETAOI
Goverment economists estimate
that the National defense program,
including conscription will cut unem
ployment in half by July 1st, 1941.
They expect a gradual sustained
pick-up in employment to provide
jobs for more than 3,000,000 men in
the next ten months. Meanwhile, i
Secretary Perkins reports an in
crease of 1,000,000 workers in non
agricultural employment in the last
year. She says that employment is
9,000,000 greater than it was seven
years ago, exclusive of some 2,000,
000 additional men and women en
gaged on WPA projects.

FARM QUESTIONS
. . I
QUESTION: What is the closing
date for carrying out soil-building I
practices under this year's farm pro
gram?
ANSWER: North Carolina farm
ers have until October 81 to carry
out soil-building practices under the
1940 AAA farm program. This means
that growers participating in the j
program mart complete their soil-1
building practices by the end of Oc
tober if they expect to receive credit I
on thin year's program.
QUESTION: What preparations!
should be made before pullets are J
placed in the laying house?
ANSWER: before the pullets are
moved to the laying house, the struc-1
ture should be cleaned and disin-1
fee ted- thoroughly. If the house is
not cleaned carefully before the dis
infecant is applied, maximum disin
fection cannot be secured. One pound
of lye placed in five gallons of water
makes a very satisfactory disinfec
tant The house should have a good
wood or preferably a waterproofed
concrete floor. Dirt floors are a po
tential menace since they cannot be
cleamed thoroughly. - I

Washington, Stept. 9.?Herbert C. Bbnndr, Secretary to Representative
Lindsay Warren returned here today after receiving the unanimous
nomination at Edenton on Friday for both the unexpired and regular
term as a successor to Congressman Warren. Although expected, Bon
ner's nomination was greeted here with much interest by members of
Congress and the North Carolina colony in Washington. Speaker Bank
head and Majority Leader Rayburn said they were delighted and Bonner
will no doubt profit on account of his long friendship with them.
House members pointed out today that the Congressional Committee
acted very wisely in nominating him for the unexpired term, for it
will give him valuable seniority rights and on January 3rd he will be
rated as a two term member rather than for one term. This will make
Bonner senior to every new man elected to the House in November, and
will place him in the same seniority class with Representative Folger,
Bur gin and Durham. While during the period from October 1st .to
November 5th, the date of election, the First District will be without
a congressman, Representative Warren said today that he would ask
every department of the government to give Mr. Bonner full recognition
during that period.
