PAGE TWO Making A Living And Going Broke Ten Agricultural Com mandments Listed For Farmers By GUY A. CARDWELL Agricultural and Industrial Agent Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. Agricultural Adjustment Adminis tration policies have unquestionably brightened and broadened the out look of thousands of cotton and to bacco farmers, but there are some individuals ■who feel that they have been pinched by these same policies and these persons are growing rest less under government regimentation. Until very recently the American farmer, as a class, though enslaved by circumstance, prided himself on his individualism, and he drifted, more or less helplessly, in the stream of life. This, however, is no longer the case for thousands of these free men or slaves, whichever they hap pen to be, are now being paid to co operate in controlling acreages plant ed in certain crops or commodities of which the world seemingly has too much of a surplus. Assuming that the AAA may pass OUt of the picture in a year or two, although this assumption may seem absurd, I would like to suggest that careful study be made of the ten * following agricultural commandments handed doyn many years ago to fanners by Dr/ Seaman A. Knapp, father of . agricultural extension fork in the South: 1— The removal :of all surplus wa ter on and in the soil. 2 Deep fall plowing; and in the South a winter cover crop (oats, - wheat, etc.) s—The best seed, including variety and quantity. 4 Proper spacing of plants. 5 Intensive cultivation and syste matic rotation of crops. 6 The judicious use of barnyard manure, legumes and commercial fer tilizers. 7 The home production of the food required for the family and for the stock. 8— The use of more horsepower and better machinery. 9 The raising of more and better stock, including the cultivation of grasses and forage plants. 10— Keeping an accurate account of the cost of farm operations. The above rules are to be followed by fanners seeking to make a finan cial success of their business. For farmers who are not so keen about making a living and for those who wish to continue on relief rolls, the following rules, released by the Division of Extension of the Univer sity of Tennessee, several years ago, will be most helpful in keeping them broke: 1— Grow only one crop. 2 Keep no livestock. 3 Regard chickens and a garden as nuisances. 4 Take everything from the soil and return nothing. 5 Don’t stop gull'es or grow cover crops—let the top soil wash away, then you will have “bottom land.” s—Don’t stop gullies or grow cover tions—it’s hard work thinking—trust to luck. 7 Regard your woodland as you would a coal mine, cut every tree, sell the timber and wear the cleared land out cultivating it in corn. 8— Hold fast to the idea that the methods of faming employed by your grandfather are good enough for you. 9 Be independent—don’t join with your neighbors in any form of co operation. 10— Mortgage your farm for every dollar it will stand to buy things you would have the cash to buy if you followed a good system of farming. Edenton High School Trounces Greenville Eleven; Score 44 to 0 (Continued from Page One) Cayton plunged through the line for the extra point. Edenton kicked just before the quarter ended. Second Quarter Greenville was unable to gain and kicked, the kicker being unable to boot the ball on the first attempt due to Edenton’s linemen breaking through too quickly. ’A long pass from Paul Spencer to Rogerson fail ed and on the next play, with per fect interference Paul Spencer ran 55 yards for a touchdown.

N. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1984- TIMELY TABLE TALES SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPER ~ i THE cheerful American custom of ending « lazy Sunday afternoon with a friendly buffet supper is an eminently successful metbnfl of wntertainiag a group of people. The service Is laid on whits Irish linen damask; the plater, silver and napkins are carefully arrangnd on tne table, and the buffet server placed at one end te balance the coffee service at the other. The buffet server, of chromium ever nrrnsr I keeps th» food hot without overcooking, and nesurse even the most tardy guest of n tnstv ma»i Cotton Payments Bigger Than Tax The cost of tax-exemption certi ficates for the excess cotton produced this year by growers who are coop erating in the adjustment program will amount to only a fraction of their rental and benefit payments. The 70,634 farms covered by con tracts will receive $6/467,000 in ren tal and benefit payments, while the extra certificates for these farms will cost $1,810,000. ! This estimate is based on the 646,- 000-bale crop forecasted for North Carolina this year, according to Charles A. Sheffield, of State Col lege, state director of the cotton program. By dividing the 90,500-bale produc tion of the contract signers above their allotments into the total rental and benefit payments, Sheffield said, it is found that the signers will re ceive $72 in thesei payments for each bale of excess cotton. Deducting S2O a bale for the cost of extra certificates, the signers still, have benefit payments amounting to $52 for each excess bale, Sheffield pointed out. In addition, he said, cotton is now selling for S3O a bale more than it brought in 1932 before the adjustment program started prices on their up ward climb. All non-signers who wish to obtain rental and benefit payments in 1935 will be given an opportunity to sign contracts in the near future. Build Loan Fund To Aid Club Girls The women's home demonstration clubs of Johnston County have, as one of their main projects, the main tenance of a county 4-H scholarship loan fund for helping worthy farm girls through college. The fund was started two years ago with $l5O, which was used to help Mary Gulley, an orphan, through her first year at Boiling Springs Col lege. The next year, $175 was raised to defray part of her expenses at the Eastern Carolina Teachers College. Miss Gulley worked for her room and board and to obtain other funds necessary for her college expenses and made an enviable scholastic rec ord, according to Miss Rachel Ev erett, home agent for Johnston County. The club women have been well pleased with the good use Miss Gul : ley has made of her educational op r==-- - I PEANUTS f I I fMore Peanuts Are Marketed In Edenton | ■ I Than In Any Other North Carolina City | ) iSj • is | IS | I Store or Sell Your Peanuts 1 i I - In The Edenton Market | I We are prepared to make Liberal Loans on 1 | I Peanuts stored in local warehouses | j1 ' I 1 START A SAVINGS ACCOUNT TODAY I I Member Federal Reserve System 1 .-sjrJ-SjmjrwJ n W ff n fj I j DEPOSITS INSURED !

The State winners in the canning, health and record contests will be selected from the county winners on a basis of their qualifications, ac cording to Miss Ruth Current, of State College, girls’ club leader. Contestants in the clothing contest will compete at the dress revue to day for the State championship. Dresses will be entered in four clas sifications: wash dress or suit for school wear; wool, silk, or rayon dress or suit for school wear; “best” dress of wool, cotton, silk or rayon; and the informal party dress. Awards to county winners are gold filled medals for first place and cer tificates of merit for second place. The State winners will be awarded a trip to Chicago to the 4-H club con portunities, Miss Everett said. Re cently a number of her friends gave her a trip to New York as a token of their appreciation of the credit able showing she has made. Miss Gulley now has a position a3 a teacher and is paying back the money she borrowed from the loan fund, and the club women are using it to help through college another girl who had made a high record in high school and other activities. This year the county council of home demonstration cluba has aided six other girls to gain an education by securing outside loans or work for them to do in their spare time. The girls to be helped by the clubs are not selected on scholarship, Miss Everett said, although they must have the ability to make their college grades. The women consider chiefly the girls who need help most and who have shown signs of leadership in their communities.

Miss Current said that approxi mately 76 per cent of the counties in North Carolina will be represented In the dress revue at Raleigh. In most of the counties, Hie winners were se lected from among groups of flve to 26 contestants. The purpose of the dross revue is to raise the standards of work done in the club clothing projects and to arouse more interest in the dobs. Miss Current said. Interest has been growing rapidly this year, flfcua/ded. The girls entering the must have made all the clothing toey wear when modeling their dresses, with the exception of shoes, hose, hat r brassiere, girdles and such acces sories. But they will be allowed to enter any of these items which they have made themselves. 2,886 Bales Os Chowan Cotton Ginned To Oct. 18 According to Fermor W. Hobbs, special agent for the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, the census report shows that there were 2,383 bales of cotton ginned in Chowan County from the crop of 1934 prior to October 18 as compared with 2,886 bales ginned to October 18 from the crop of 1933. A carload of lambs shipped to the Jersey City market by growers of Alleghany County netted the shippers $6.60 a hundred pounds.
