CREECH. $100,000,000 TO AID FARMERS IN MARKETING OF WHEAT For the first time since tf)e Govt * rniuental action during the World War, when all grains were handled .by a board headed by Juliu? Bs.rr.es, the Federal Government has stepped i into the grain marketing situation I o aid farmers. Ample Federal funds were pledged to the American farmers tor the j purpose of stabilizing wheat prices j when the Farm Hoard, meeting in! Chicago, announced that it has putj $100.000,000 at the disposal of the a ewlv-organized Farmers' National [ (train Corporation, with the promise| hat more will be asked of Congress: if necessary. Prevailing wheat prices, based on j v6rld supply, are too low, in the? opinion of the Farm Board. |2 Scanning the drop in prices during] * :he week, the hoard, in a statement j issued by Chairman Legge, expressed; "the belief that ''this unsatisfactory I price level is chiefly due to the rapid j or disorderly movement which is put- 1 a large part of the year's sup- i ply of wheat on the market within i c short time." ' Nearly half the present wheat crop tas been sold in one week, Mr. Legge ' said. 1 "The unprecedented liquidation of i industrial stocks and shrinkage ot .aitu within the '?*r few days has also had an effect on wheat values I c which is entirely unwarranted and < wheat producers should not be forced i to sell on a market affected by these < conditions," the statement asserted. I The board announced that it had i .authorized immediately the use of i any iunds at its command to help i farmers hold the remainder of their crop for better prices. To assist in I the orderlv mjvrlcetinor nr.mrom l.O.l-l. is the board's avowed purpose, it < proposes to lend to legally justifed ' wheat co-operatives sums sufficient I to bring the total amount borrowed ' at Irom all sources by such associations 1 W ip to a prescribed schedule. I The board listed what it considers ] -minimum wheat prices this year. The loans made through the co-operatives te-ill be carried until the close of the : .-narketing season and will be pro- 1 rated on these basic prices per bushel taking into account the customary ! differentials. The prices range from $1.12 for No. 1, white amber, basis -"eattle, to $1.25 for No. 1, red win- i ter, basis St- Louis. j I The organization of the $20,000,- < 000 National Farmers' Grain Corporation was perfected after a week 1 of conferences, and -it is expected that 'the marketing of other grains, such as corn, oats, barley and rye, can be financed with Farm Board money through this agency. The cor- j aoration, from its headquarters at Chicago, will also handle stabilization ( activities on wheat for the board. , REVIVAL AT MOUNT VERNON i The revival meeting at Mt. Vernon Church, conducted by the pastor, < Rev. K. C. Eggers, closed BYiday -. iglit The meeting, which has been 1 n progress for two weeks, was a success. There were 29 additions to the church and also some otiier professions who did not join. Twenty-two i were baptized, and the church greatrevived. * A i AX A Non-Partisan Ne RQONE Avery Man Gets Big i Return from Cattle According to 2 report from the Extension 'Department at SUU 1 College, Mr. F. W. VonCanon of Banner Elk recently marketed 82 head of beef cattle of an average weight of 906 pounds. The ateer* brought 11 cents per pound at the farm, or a total price ot $8,172.T2. Anot.'ier striking example of the I possibilities of the beef cattle industry throughout this mountain rniintrv. : i Stepp Urges Hunters to! Wage War on Rabbits! Mr. J. P. Stepp Assistant'state I j?ame warden says that rabbits are I just naturally too numerous in this! section of North Carolina and asksi that something be done about it. 'T certainly hope the sportsmen will kill more rabbits this year than they did in 1028," ho said, pointing >ut that rabbits have increased very rapidly, and intimated that unless the hunters get busy after November 20 rabbits will have to die of old age. The reason for the increase of the species as assigned hv the n-Ffi rial, is that last year there was fear of catching a disease fvom rabbits that were themselves diseased Cut he believes the fear is unjustified. In al! of the state there are record ed only three cases of disease caused j directly by rabbits and all of these; ivere from counties lying in eastern North Carolina. As vet there has been no reports*of the malady from the western patt of the state. There' is no bag limit to rabbit hunting: and sportsmen may hunt without fear of overstepping the law. Rabbit season opened yesterday as did the bird season. Parent-Teacher Assn. Holds Monthly Meeting! In the absence of the president. Mrs. H. B. Perry. Miss Eula Todd uresided over the Parent-Teacher I neeting last Thursdav afternoon. The I meeting was called to order and Miss Bouchelle, the chairman of the program committee, was asked to take charge. The first thing on the program was a recitation by Wudc- McMillan from the third grade. Following this, other members of the third''grade presented the play, "Hansel and Grethel." The last number on the program cvas two selections given by the toy archestra of the first grade. When the committees were asked Co report, the Ways and Means Comnittee stated that they were selling! ) "magic cleaner" at one dollar a bottle. They asked that al! of the mothers co-operate in buying this asoful uo.usehoid article. The association askeu that the .cachcrs make out a list of the needs 3f the school so that they could hoose one to work toward as a goal for this year. At the close of the necting it was voted that a message 3e sent Mrs. Perry expressing the association's regrets that she could lot be present at this meeting. START IS BEING MADE ON STATE FARM PROGRAM The movement to have a State,vide, unified farm program for North Carolina has been started with twoclay meetings in five selected counties where the idea will have its initial test. The counties selected and dates of meetings are: Hertford, November 6 and 7; Pender, November 7 and 8; Scotland, November 11 and 12; Rowan, November 13 arid 14, and Buncombe*, November 15 and 16. In acti 01 these live counties,"aim the iates given, the county farm agent, assisted by the local Board of Agriculture, will hold meetings at which there will be a general discussion of agricultural affairs. Statistics showing the present condition of farming will be presented and plans proposed for a solution of any difficulties that may exist. The agricultural extension service if State College has secured the aid if C. L. Chambers from the United State Department of Agriculture in holding these meetings. Mr. Chambers is an expert in such matters and has served in various states of the Union where State-wide programs have been adopted. He has been supplied facts about the counties and from these he has prepared a series if charts showing actual conditions. The five district agents of the extension service will also attend the meetings. Watauga County citizens are working on plans for an institute to be held in this county some time in De-' cember.
