AURELIAN SPRINGS SPEAKER (Continued from last week) The board is also given the power to assist in forming clearing house associations which are adapted to ef fecting the economic distribution of agricultural products among the va rious markets and to reducing waste and loss in marketing the products. There shall be clearing house associa tions to represent each various com modity. The stabilization corpora tions and the clearing house associa tions are designed to forestall diffi culties due to a surplus in any ag ricultural product. There shall be advisory commodity committees to represent each import ant crop such as cotton and tobacco. Each committee consists of seven members whose chief work is to study the situation of the various crops which they represent and report the same to the board. These commit tees shall coo-perate vih the hoar.i y adv'smg ih«* pr< river* of the va rious commodities in the development of suitable programs of planting and breeding. The Agricultural Marketing Act u a program designed to improve the agricultural marketing vtricds anJ t i provide a means for the improve ment of the economic position of ag 1 iculture. The cotton farmers will receive benefits from this ait if they will co operate. Mr. Alexander Legge, chair man of the Federal Board . says: “Farmers are handicapped because they are independent and :n-.l vidual istic.” Mr. Legge does not mean in dependent in the sense cf having en ough to live on but independent in such a way that they are uncontrolled by others. Farmers can overcome this handicap by cooperating. In order to receive benefits from this act every cotton farmer must join the Cotton Growers Co-operative Association of his state and stick to it through thick and thin. He must stick to it in order to receive the maximum benefits. Nothing comes to those who “sit and wait.” Farmers, you must wake up! Join the Cotton Growers Association of your state and show the world through your vise actions, that you are a wide awake farmer. It has been announced that the board shall appropriate $20,000,000 to the cotton associations to market the cotton crop so that it will not de press the market. It will also appro priate $100,000,000 for the purpose of stabilizing the price of cotton. more are couon growers associa tions in each cotton growing state, every cotton farmer. The farmer may i join, ship his cotton to the place where ;l will be graded and classed and draw his advance. The cooperative 1 association will market the cotton in orderly fashion throughout the year j and settle with the farmer on the i basis of the final price obtained. The board stated last fall that the j price of cotton was too low’. It agreed to lend the cotton growers associa tions enough money to advance their numbers sixteen cents per pound on graded and classed cotton, basis mid dling 7-8 inch staple. This was as much as any farmer could expect. If the final price obtained is more than sixteen cents per pound, the farmer) 1 eceives the benefits of the advance , in price. To illustrate this, I shall use Mr.: Brown wh ofarms on a large scale.' Mr. Brown harvested one hundred) five hundred pound bales of cotton last year. He is a wide awake farm- j er and always ready to try newer and better methods of growing and 1 marketing his products. He market ed his cotton through the cooperative association and received sixteen cents 1 per pound as an advanced price. The 1 price on th eopen market was only fif- r teen cents per pound. By marketing I his cotton through the assocnation, j Mr. Brown received $500 more than he would have received had he sold it I it on the open market. If the price I of cotton had advanced to seventeen I cents, Mr. Brown would have received J S500 more; thus receiving $1,000 more j than the farmer who sold on the open | market. I am sure every farmer who j thinks wisely will join the Cotton Growers Co-operative association of his state and give to it his whole hearted support in order to receive YOUNG MEN—FAX pi __ Charged with turning in a false fire alarm at Warrenton on Monday night Jack Carter, 7, son of Chief Carter of Norlina, and Raymond Duke, 19, brother of Douglas Duke of Norlina i wait trial in Recorder’s Court on rext Monday morning. Their bond was set at $150 each by Mayor Frank H. Gibbs at the hearing on Tuesday morning. Citizens of the town were disturbed about 10 o’clock Monday night by the shriek of the siren. Hurrying in to cars they chased over town in search of the fire, most of them re membering that members of the local fire department were attending a con vention of the State colored firemen ut Oxford. No fire was found. Thirty minutes later a second alarm was turned in. This time, the car end driver were spotted. Ernest Hud gins, young white man residing near the Miles corner where the alarm was turned in, testified that he saw Ray mond Duke and another man pulling off from the fire box in the car and that he plainly recognized the driver and the car passing under a street lamp. The Norlina me nhad entered a plea to turning in the alarm, but said tha tthey did not break the glass covering the switch. No other wit esses but Mr. Hudgins testified, the maximum benefits of the Agricul tural Marketing Act. The cotton farmer will also receive benefits from this act through the materials which the Board will pub lish on the most effective ways of farming. Several articles will be pub lished which will help the cotton farmer to understand the growing of cotton more clearly. This is no time for the cotton farmers to become discouraged and pcsimistic. When the colonies settled in America, they were widely scat tered and independent of each other. As taxation and other vexing prob lems faced the colonies, they realized that they must cooperate in order to solve these problems most wisely. The colonies struggled through man try ing hours and underwent many hard ships but only through cooperation were they able to obtain any satis factory results for their labors. Wash ington came to their rescue and by cooperating with them helped them to overcome many hardships and gave them a big push up the ladder of suc cess. Just as Washington came to the rescue of the colonies, the Fed eral Agricultural Marketing Act has come to the rescue of the cotton farmers. Surely, if the colonies, in their infancy were wise enough t > come together and stand shoulder t » shoulder in their fight fo>- iml pen dcnce, we sincerely believe that the cotton farmers, living as they are in this age of intelligence, wi'.l ...in hands with the Federal Farm Bd-iro in helping to place American agri culture on a basis of eeon.-mic equa lity with other industries.

If you try to decide which gasoline is the best by what its makers say — you might as well put the names of all brands in a hat, pick one out, and trust to luck. : : Every refiner boosts his own product. We sincerely believe that shell is the best. But what we believe and what we say won’t push pistons in your motor. : : To get the plain truth — ask any motorist who has changed to SHELL. Or count the new shell Stations each time you drive out. Or, simpler yet, and most convincing of all try a tankful. We’d rather let your motor do the talk ing.
