I- ■ VjjV.,'' f ■ THE JOHNSTONIAN—SUN, SELMA, N. C THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1933. THE JOHNSTONIAN—SUN M. L. STAN'CIL, Editor and Mgr. SUBSCRIPTION One Year $1.00; 6 Months 50c Enteied as second-class matter July 4, .1929, at the po.st office at Selma, N. C. under the Act of March 3, 1879. WORl.D ( ONFERENCE HITS A SNAG The World’s Economic Con ference, called at the suggest ion of President Roosevelt, has been in session for several days pas+. One of the first questions to-gain the attention of the| conference shortly after it went' into session was that of sta bilizing money by way of the gold standard. Several of the gold standard countries abroad desire to maintain the gold standaid, while the United States and Great Britain seem especially anxious to take some other route to settle the mon etary ([uestion before the con ference. The gold standard countries abroad are frank in their belief that they, should not leave the gold standard at this time; and when the mat ter could not be adjusted oth- ei-wise than according to Mr. Roosevelt’s ideas, they were much wrought up and express ed themselves as being ready to adjourn the conference and go back home. The situation grew still moi'e tense this week wtien President Roosevelt let H be known that the United •States was not in accord with the plan offei-ed by the ma jority in this Conference and that' he did not approve any attempt to adjourn the confer ence until its full purpose has been accomplished. Should Mr. Roosevelt press the matter at this stage of the game, he will not only ingen- dei' an unfriendly feeling to ward the United States by the gold standard countries, but rvili defeat the purpose for which he had the conference called. It would be a collossal blunder on the part of Mi'. Roosevelt to try to dictate the monetary policies of the world. The European countries each have their monetary standards just as we do, and unless and until they see fit* to make a change of these themselves, outside intei'ference will only add fuel to the flame. What- ->ver is done, should be done with an eye single to the fact that the other nations must be accorded the same rights and privileges as we take ourselves, and not press the mater too far—which may have already been done by our President. Whatever may be the out come, there is little doubt but what the proceedings thus far have resulted in more harm than real good, since it is high ly possible that many of the woi'ld pow'ei's are less friendly toward the United States today than they were before this conference began. ment, through revision of the Volstead Act. A bill initiating a $3,300,- 000,000 public works program in the interest of employment, to be controlled by the Presi- ' dent through a director of pub lic works. A bill to reduce agricultural acreage in production, with compensation to farmers for I all land withdrawn from use. I A bill giving the President unprecedented control over in dustry, -^^dth pow'ers to elimin- I ate competition, fix minimum wages and maximum hours of work, regulate production, etc. There were other bills, of course, but these are outstand ing. Most far reaching of all is the last—it has not yet swung into action and it is not widel\' understood. Operation of the bill, in relation to particular in dustries, w'ill be as follows: A trade group will draw up a plan designed to settle wage, price and production problems. It will apply to the administi'a- tor of the bill for authorization to put its agreement into ef fect. The administrator will then find out if the plan meets with the favor of most units within the industry. Represen tatives of labor, and a group of consumers, will be consulted. When all has been settled, the agreement will go to the Pres ident. If he finds it equitable, he will authorize it. If not, it will have to be redra-wn. When industries are unable to agree among themselves, the Presi dent will be able to foi'ce a pact on them, by the power of a licensing system. Sum Of $80,000,000 Spent In Biennium North Carolina Reached June .30 With Deficit of About $14,000,000. OPPORTUNITY OKFERED TO ALL COTTON FAR.MERS VVHAT CONGRESS DID The late Congress will go down in history as an extraor dinary body. Its total appropri ations were exceeded only by the World War Consress, Al most without a dissenting voice, it gave up to the Presi dent'powers and prerogatives it has prized since revolution ary days. It was the most doc ile, the most obedient, and the least imaginative Congress we have had since the war. A list of its major bills, passed main ly at the request of the Presi dent, follows: A bill enabling the President to inflate currency by forcing the Federal Reserve to buy government securities, to is sue new currency up to $3,000,- 000,000, to lessen gold content of the dollar up to -oO per cent Completion of the 303,000 acres cotton reduction allotment for North Carolina will in no way determine the length of the campaign which will continue until every cotton grower has had the opportunity to sign a contract, says Dean 1. 0. Sshaub, director of the State Col lege .\gricultural Extension Service. ‘■The campaign is not complete un til each grower has been given such an opportunity,” he .said. ‘‘However, it will be impossible for county agents and local committees to be in the field after July 8, unless the Secretary of Agriculture directs' otherwise and cotton growers .should decide at once what action they will take in regard to signing the con-, tracts.” Dean Schaub says that accuracy is essential in determining the e-ti- raated yields per acre of land of fered in the cotton reduction cam paign; and upon this accuracy de pends the success of the entire program. Secretary Wallace can re fuse to accept offers in excess of the average production over the last five years as recorded in the Wa'-hington office. Despite the fact that instructions and contracts from Washington were late in reaching the 67 cotton-grow ing counties, the campaign has pro gressed rapidly during the past two weeks “in cooperation -and pleasant reception.” However, the success of the cam paign has not yet been fully de termined and re ts in the hands of the State’s 90,000 growers, who w'ill receive over $5,000,00 in cash bene fits should they select to accept the cotton program in North Carolina Raleigh, July 2.—The cost of North Carolina’s .state government in the 1931-33 biennium, which closed June 30, totaled approximate ly $80,000,000, including $8,200,150 paid in the principal of state debts and interest paid on outstanding obligations. Of this amount $70,908,237.16 was collated in general fund and high way taxes and approximately $10,- 000,000 was borrowed money. There was a deficit of approximately $14,- 000,000 in the general fund, includ ing the more than $2,000,000 carried over from the 1929-31 biennium and a surplus in the highway fund, part of which was diverted to the gen eral fund at intervals during the latter biennium. Official figures of the exact amount of the 1931-33 deficit are expected to be announced shortly. North Carolinians paid $33,744,- 198.46 into the coffers of the state’s general and highway funds during the fiscal year ended June 30. This amount, with $14,503,400.19 going into the general fund and $19,240,699.27 into the highway fund, was approximately $3,500,000 less than the $37,164,038.70 collected in the 1931-32 fiscal year, when gener al fund taxes produced $16,661,- 838.08 and highway levie.s $20,502,- 200.62. Decreases in income and license ■taxes made up the bulk of the loss in general fund collections, while gasoline and licenses made up the great portion of the decrease in highway receipts. License taxes in 1932-33 produc ed $1,870,210.21 as compared with $2,355,645.41 in 1931-32, while in come collections fell off from $7,- 163,738,68 in 1931-32 to $6,004, 433 15 in the fiscal year just closed. The six ce-a gallon gasoline tax produced $14,165,026 42 in 1932-33 compared with $14,941,180 59 in 19- 31-32 and automobile licenses brought in $5,004,609.85 compared with $5,480,703.98 in 1931-32. June general fund collections total ed $670,748.43 as compared with the $1,147,602.76 collected in June of 1932, but Maxwell explained an ex ceptional amount of income tax pay ments vvere received in that month. He said the reduction did not in- licate a change “in the trend of rev-- enue collections occuring consistent ly for several month-;.” Highway receipts in June, 1933. vere $1,377,492.95, an increase of $177,800.45 over the $1,199,692.49 collected ,in June, 1932, Maxwell re ported, explaining there was a “con tinuing increase in automobile regis tration and gasoline consumption” last month.

Question: When the be.st time to plant Irish potatoes for the fall crop ? Answer: In eastern North Caro lina the seed should be planted dur ing the latter part of July or the first week in August. As the fail crop of' potatoes depends to a large extent on the amount of moisture available, it is be.st to take advan tage of seasonal conditions rather than the time limits. Plant when the soil is moist even if it is a little early or a little later than the dates -mentioned. Que.stion: Is it too late to top dress corn with nitrate of soda an I will later applications give increased yields ‘1 .Answer: It is not too late but earlier ;‘i.>plieations would have given greater retui'ns. For be-t re- .sults corn should be top dress-'1 when ab'-mt knee high. After this time the amount of increase from this ton dressing begins to de crease.
