■ ■ ■■■■■ ★ A Peep At <> Raleigh } ' —i • f By EDENTONIAN Theri is an air of expectancy r-around the State capital at this sea son of the year. The colleges con stitute a large part of the city popu lation and so their reopening will put in motion many interesting forces that have been dormant during the b summer months. And, too, the State kfair i 3 just around the comer. It only be a short while before the streets will be alive with bunting proclaiming this coming event. The great army of State employees, most of whom have been away on vaca tion, is getting back to its usual routine. The city schools opened last week with their fine regimentation of the youth of the community. It is a tfar cry from the great vacation free dom the schoolboy enjoys in the summer to the Spartan military dis cipline of the modem school. Both are necessary to the proper develop ment of mind, character and body of *the future of the citizens of the country. Raleigh has a wealth of at tractive shopping centers where these school children are much in evidence shopping for their school needs. The hotel lobbies are taking on new life. The Legislature is in the immediate offing and it will not be long before the hotels will be crowded with legislators, lobbyists and those who are interested in the great legislative show. The mills of the. Legislature will soon begin to grind out innumerable new laws, and repeal an equal number of old ones. Theri will be many new faces in the ’ Legislature this year. Raleigh takes peculiar interest in the legislative freshmen. They are the most in teresting because they are new. The new member has usually made in numerable promises to remedy the ails that have beset the body politic and he will not be satisfied until he has gotten them “off his chest.” And •a they proceed by legislative fiat to npose a rule of conduct which they have advocated on the cracker box. This is a very interesting perform ance, and though it would appear to be fraught with great hazard to the body politic, the eternal law of com pensation takes a hand and balances the account Old legislators who have become disillusioned as apostles of reform spend most of their time in repealing as many old laws as the new members introduce. 1 GUM POND 1 v j wMr. Hallet Wilson and Miss Thel ma Goodwin of below Edenton were qufetly married September 13th in Suffolk, Va.

METHOD TO SECURE LOANS FOR REPAIRS Plan Presented Whereby Money Can Be Obtained Under Federal Housing Program Here, in a nutshell, is the plan for borrowing modernization funds under the Federal Housing Program: 1— A modernization loan is solely for the purpose of repairing, alter ing or improving your home, shop, farmhouse, store or other building. Diversion of the money to any other purpose is strictly prohibited. 2 It cannot be for le3s than SIOO or for more than $2,000. The bor rower must have a bona fide source of income equal to at least five times the annual payments. 3 It can be made for terms up to three years, but may be paid in full earlier than the maturity date if the borrower desires. 4 Maximum charges, including in terest and fees, cannot exceed an amount equivalent to $5 discount per year per SIOO original face amount of the note. STo get a modernization loan, the property owner must present to the bank or other lending institu tion a precise estimate of the cost of the improvements and should be able to prove that they are neces sary or advisable. 6 In addition, the property owner must file a property owner’s credit statement, showing his financial con dition, sources and amount of income and other information necessary to determine his ability to repay the loan. If the bank considers the improve ments advisable, and the property owner able to meet the payments when due, it can advance the money on the personal note of the property owner. The note must be signed by both husband and wife, if the prop erty owner is married. No mortgage or collateral security is necessary, unless state laws or the financial in stitution’s officials demand it. Sow Hay Mixtures For Spring Grazing The nationwide hay shortage plus the increased number of animals to be wintered in this State will place a heavy demand on North Carolina farmers this year. Every Carolina farmer will do well to save all the available roughage this fall and make preparation now for growing a winter hay crop for early grazing next spring, says John A. Arey, extension dairy specialist at State College. Oats, barley, abvuzzi rye, or a mix ture of these cereals, and crimson clo ver sown in September will furnish good grazing early next spring. If the season is favorable, they will also furnish grazing this fall. Seeding for grazing purposes should be heavy. Arey recommended the following mixtures, which have given good results. In these mix tures, the quantity of seed needed for one acre is listed. Two bushels of abruzzi rye and 15 pounds of crimson clover, or a mix ture of or.e bushel of beardless wheat, one bushel of w*prdless barley, and one and a half bushel'of r.ats, and 20 pounds of hairy vetch or 30 pounds of | Austrian winter peas. The rye and clover mixture does not make good hay, but makes excel- Establish Pool For Cotton Certificates Cotton farmers whose production is over their allotment will be able to purchase additional tax exemption certificates and those whose produc tion is under their allotment will be able to sell surplus certificates through a national pool, under the provisions of a ruling issued by the secretary of agriculture, it is an nounced by the agricultural adjust ment administration. The sale price has been set at four cents per pound. “This plan of handling the excess certificates,” says Charles A. Shef field, assistant extension* director at State College in charge of the cotton adjustment program in North Caro lina, “does not mean that the gov ernment will purchase such certifi cates but does mean that those who have more certificates than they have cotton to gin and sell may turn the excess certificates over to the manager of the national surplus cot ton tax-exemption certificate pool who will handle them for producers under a trust agreement.” The price of four cents per pound is approximately 70 per cent of the tax of 5.67 cents per pound imposed by the Bankhead Act on the ginning of cotton. Under the pool provi sions, farmers who do not produce as much cotton as their allotment calls for will get some cash from excess certificates and those farmers who produce more than their allot ments will be able to gin and sell some of their excess. Ernest L. Deal of Florence, Ala., has been designated manager of the pool. Price Fixed For Excess Certificates When the pool is closed, all funds on hand from the sale of the cer tificates, after deducting expenses, will be distributed among producers and each producer will receive his share in the proportion the poundage surrendered by him bears to the to tal poundage in the pool. In addi tion, each producer will be returned his pro rata share of the unsold sur plus certificates, which may be used lent grazing for late fall and early spring when sown in September. The second mixture, sown preferably be tween October 1 and 15, can be used for both grazing and hay. If hay is to be harvested, grazing should be discontinued in March, the exact date depending upon the loca tion in the state. Yields of two to five tons of hay per acre have been secured from this latter mixture when sown on good land. The hay will be ready to harvest next May when the cereals are in the milk stage of maturity. | THE FARMERS OF CHOWAN, BERTIE AND ADJOINING | g COUNTIES ARE CONVINCED THAT 1 (PLANTERS! | [Brick] Warehouse 1 !
