j RAMBLING I V; I I 1 Here, There and Yonder | §aafaja®aiajaiais®effiiaiajsj by the rambler KiaiaraiSEisiaisisisEEisisisti ELEVEN PLAYERS In last Friday there was not three outstanding men ißeflSiilpiDn’s team, but eleven, fighti jdpSßtime—doing their part perfectly to make every play work. Paul Spencer, a back field man second to none in high school foot- ball, not only did his part of the running, but he also called the proper plays at the right time. Through the entire game I don’t believe Paul ran a wrong play. That is something that very few signal callers do. Worth Spencer and Clyde Cates both improved in their playing last l week, while little Bill Harrell caught those punts, no matter how many Elizabeth City men were right on him. Spruill in the line, at tackle, stood out a little further than the rest, but all tackled well and played heads-up ball. TIDE TURNS Edenton fans are surely in the right mood now. Last Friday at Elizabeth City saw the turning of the tide be tween the Edenton and Elizabeth City football' teams which heretofore has placed the Elizabeth City Yellow Jackets on top. Edenton showed the Jacket fans that Chapel Hill belonged to the Aces this year. The Edenton fans were in Elizabeth City strong to view the game and my rough estimate said that almost half the crowd were Edentonians. Mayor Eddie Spires said in a speech at a pep meeting that if the boys won their way to Chapel'Hill, he would try to arrange a motorcade with a police escort. Now, team, I that is something extra to fight for. I take hack what I said about poor support to local football. In the past ■ we have never had a team that clicked—a team that worked like a machine.—a team with such interfer ence, but now, we can see such a team and the fans are behind them 100 per cent. DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY! Last week-end I saw the remains k of a fairly good wreck. A big to bacco truck load of the weed was turned over in a ditch and a Pontiac coach was twiste'd in a knot near it. To me it looked a3 if the driver of the Pontiac tried to run through the to bacco truck and changed his mind a little later. Tobacco and glass and wheels were everywhere.

I still believe that the occupants were either living “right” or else Death was taking the week-end off. BUMMING BAD Bumming must be terrible in the central part of the State. Two of EdetUon’s football players went up to see the Carolina-State game. These two fellows started back immediately after the game. The “air” route must have been somewhat slack, for Monday night they stopped in Rocky Mount, seeking shelter for the night. Funnier to me than that, is that they were riding on a train. They left there Tuesday morning enroute for Edenton—but arrived in time for the big game Friday— but I had my doubts and would take no bets. HARD LUCK! I was down at the station the other night rambling around when all of a sudden I sniffed a peculiar odor. Following the scent like a dog, it led me to a medium-sized car ton from a city in Virginia. Examin ing the contents I found the alcoholic scent predominating. Some friend must have been sending his North Carolina friend a few samples, but what a disappointment that Tar Heel will get when he finds his XYZ bev erages were broken in their travels. Hard luck, buddie, but it happens in the best of families.

BUY GEORGIA TOBACCO CARDS Beaufort County farmers have pur chased $16,216 worth of tobacco al lotment cards from Georgia growers. Over 500 farmers in Chatham County will save lespedeza seed this fall, according to plans now being made. J Cotton Association Official 1 Urges Slow Marketing of Crop Writing in the current issue of the 3 Southtm Cultivator, Col. Harvie Jor dan, managing director of The Ameri can Cotton Association and Better Farming Campaign advises farmers to ‘market the cotton crop slowly." “I have always urged a slow move -5 ment of the cotton crop to market,” writes Col. Jordan, “But the farmers generally heretofore have been finan cially unable to adopt sound and con servative methods in marketing the staple. But this highly important mar r keting feature can now be put into operation with the financial backing > of the federal farm administration in > guaranteeing loans on cotton held on r the farm or in public warehouses.” Col. Jordan has been known for many years as a man with a keen in terest in better farming methods. The advisory board of his association is r composed of many prominent growers throughout the Southeast. In the same - article, Col. Jordan says that the I drouth in the West makes it impera tive for the South to grow small grains , this season and goes on to mention the importance of top-dressing, “no mat ter what kind of fertilizer is used at planting.” Concerning the important question of what nitrate of soda to use, al though Col. Jordan does not go into the subject in this particular article, hi 3 views are well-known. Hundreds of field tests have indicated to him that American nitrate of soda has ‘•I-M-M-X-W-I-X-K'-K-K-K-K-X-X-W-H-X-X-X-l-M-X-X-t-K-K-K-X-N | Southern Sweet Potatoes I X X By GUY A. CARDWELL Agricultural and Industrial Agent Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. The 1934 crop is made; it is an accomplished fact. . Production in the United States is estimated to be ap proximately the same as last year when 65,073,000 bushels were pro duced. Omitting .Virginia, which state largely grows the Jersey or northern type sweet potato,. the Southern States have in prospect for harvest 54,000,000 bushels of juicy, sugary sweet potatoes to delight the palate and satisfy the hunger of rich and poor alike; for almost all people residing in the South are par tial to this article of food. Southern sweet potatoes are most ly grown for home consumption. We should make of them a real com mercial crop and share them in a larger way with our neighbors in the North to give them a change from their regular diet of white potatoes. 1.

Harvie Jordan, widely known throughout the South for his agricultural work, is shown here holding some splen did wheat heads grown in Jasper County, Ga. says Col. Jordan. “For real results I recommend American nitrate of soda without hesitation. By doing so I know that I am boosting the advance ment of Southern agriculture and also the advancement of the entire South since Southern industry and Southern agriculture must go hand-in-hand if there is to be any solution to the South’s present problems.” < There is a movement of sweet pota toes to the North but this is not as heavy as it should be when we con sider how badly the South needs more Northern dollars to return in part the million of cotton, tobacco ' and peanut dollars which are con stantly sent north to pay for auto mobiles, ' gas, ‘ oil and even hay and other feeds. To sell sweet potatoes to advantage they should be dug before frost; they should be clean and free of dirt, have a bright skin and be sound in every way. Sales can be made at any time following the harvest period, but best results are frequent ly to be gotten if the potatoes are cured under heat and held in storage at the right temperature for feeding !| to the markets as conditions warrant. 11 It is generally known that sweet I potatoes can be successfully cured I and held in storage in tobacco barns, I as well as in houses especially con- I structed for curing and storing pota- I' IE CLASS 2—CANNED GOODS Ist PRIZE 2nd PRIZE DONATED BY Best Quart Canned Fruit $2.00 SI.OO J.

This permits of the use of barns at a season when these houses are empty and are not paying their way. In preparing sweet potatoes for shipment to northern markets there are a few things that should be kept in mind. The sweet potato of the Jersey type which is grown in the North, and with which our northern friends are best acquainted, has a bright skin; it is of moderate size and is of uniform conformation. The people of the North prefer the dry ness of this potato because they have had few opportunities to compare it with Porto Ricos of good quality. Like the Carolinas, Louisiana grows Porto Ricans, but unlike the Carolinas, Louisiana has studied the wishes of the trade and is catering to the desires of both dealers and con sumers to an extent that is causing Louisiana potatoes to be given pref erence over potatoes of the same variety from other sections. Louisi ana Porto Ricans are more uniform in size and generally better grade and pack than Carolina Porto Ricans. So far as I know, there is no rea son why Porto Ricans grown in the Carolinas should not be made as at tractive as Louisiana Porto Ricans. If the growers of the Carolinas are to receive maximum prices they should pay more attention to the factors necessary for the production of potatoes of medium size and uni form shape. Profit is the yard stick by which a commercial enterprise is measured. If the measure shows a loss, the grower must seek better methods or quit the enterprise. Enterprise Club To Meet With Mrs. Tom Spencer The Enterprise Club will hold its monthly meeting Friday at the home of Mrs. Thomas Spencer.

HALLOWEEN PARTY HELD AT ELMO SCHOOL WEDNESDAY A very interesting Halloween party was given at Elmo school on Wednesday night. A short program was rendered, after which every body participated in the fun of hav ing fortunes told, bobbing for ap pies, fishing and visiting the Queen of Sheba. Ice cream and candy were sold. The program was given by the school children, sponsored by the teachers, Misses Harrell and Over ton. There is a revival in silo building in Gaston County with some dairy men digging trench silos and others erecting the vertical type.
