Os Section
R. R. Pearson, secretary-treasurer
of the Ahoskie and Albemarle Na
tional Farm Loan Associations, has
announced that A. Houston Edwards
has accepted employment with the
associations.
Mr. Edwards was formerly em
ployed by the Farmers Home Ad

tion. He is a native of Dossville,
Miss., and has been living in Hertford
since 1940.
Mr. Edwards will be stationed in
Hertford, but will operate from the
Ahoskie office.
Secretary-Treasurer Pearson Says
that the employment of Mr. Edwards
is in keeping with the policy of the
hank to render ample and adequate
Credit facilities to the farmers of this
section, as it has always been the de
sire of the National Farm Loan As
sociations and the Federal Land Bank
to serve the farmer to his best bene
fit.
The employment of Mr. Edwards
also assures the farmers of North
eastern North Carolina that they will
have a specialist in farm credit and
farm loans easily accessible to them
at all times.
Loans made through the associa
tions are upon 4% interest with 20
to 30 years time. At present the Al
bemarle association has outstanding
in mortgage loans in Chowan County
$261,280. The two associations loan
ed through the Ahoskie office $529,510

which led all offices in the Third Land
Bank District consisting of North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida.
We have a degree of delight, and
that no small one, in the real mis
fortunes and pains of others.

For Peanut Growing
1947 Acreage Estimated
26% Above 1936-45
Average
A reduction of about one percent
from last year is indicated for this
year’s acreage of peanuts grown
alone for all purposes. Estimated at
3,873,000 the 1947 acreage is 26 per
cent above the 1936-45 average. On
the basis of the usual relationship of
the picked and threshed to the alone
acreage, the 1947 acreage picked
and - threshed would reach approxi
mately 3,150,000. This would be
slightly more than 1946, and the
sixth consecutive year that the acre
age has exceeded 3 million. The 1947
acreage of peanuts interplanted with
other crops is estimated at 505,000
acres, 2 percent reduction from last
year. This method of planting has
declined rather sharply during the

i Don’t Neglect Them!
Nature designed the kidneys to do i
marvelous job. Their task is to keep the
flowing blood stream free of an excess of
toxic impurities. The act of living —life
itself —is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneys must remove from
the blood if good heath is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function as
Nature intended, there is retention of
waste that may cause body-wide dis
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—feel tired, nervous, all
worn out.
Frequent, scanty oi burning passages
are sometimes further evidence of kid
ney or bladder disturbance.
The recognized and proper treatment
is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys
get rid of excess poisonous body waste.
Use Doan’s Pills. They have had more
than forty years of public approval. Are
endorsed the country over. Insist on
Doan’s. Sold at all drug stores.
