The Hertford County Herald, J (
Ahoskie, N. C. ^
Dear Editor:?
I am, as requesfodr.
sending you herewith copy of my
bill to make banks treasurer of our
County,
I have drawn and introduced (
this bill in accordance with the reso
lution passed by the mass meeting ,
in last August. I must say (
that personally I do not think this a
r wise change, and have consequent
ly drawn the bill in such a way that
the commissioners can refuse to
make the change. Many counties
that have tried the sytsem of mak
ing banks Treasurer have at this
sesion gone back to the old system
that our people desire abolished. I
have talked with the Representa
tives of these counties and they tell
tell me that both the banks and
the people were dissatisfied. I can
find no county with a system of tax
collectors like ours that has ever
had a bank system for treasurer.
I believe there is less chance for
dissatisfaction when we have tax
collector, than where the Sheriff
collects the taxes and gets commis
sions of doing so. 1 will present my
views fully to the Commissioners in
person.
I would like for you to publish
this letter when you publish the
bill.
Thanking you, I remain,
Stanley Winbsme.

NORTH CAROLINA SQY- I
BEANS IN GREAT DEMAND
: j_i L..m k^. L
J1UI1UIVUJT ui Iii^uiueo Have mrii |
revived by the Division of Agrono
my of the Extension Service and
Experiment Station during the past
two or three months, asking the
names of growers and dealers from
whom soybeans could be secured.
The quantities wanted have varied
all the way from a few busheis te
car lots, and have come from prac
tically all the Southern states. '
In a recent letter from a leading
manufacturer of pork and beans,
who is using soybeans in putting up
his products, says: "I have never
seen the beans from any place that
were eqnal to the beans grown in
North Carolina." This company is
now looking for a wthite soybean
that may be used in putting up a
grade of pork and beans that will <
that will not require the use of to- '
mato sauce. They think that in j
the "Ito San" they have found such
a variety. This variety, Jhowever,
for North Carolina conditions, [has
not proven to be a very large yield
er, as is true of all very early ma
turing varieties.
A
The representative of this com- ]
pany was recently in North Carolina
and bought three car-loads of Mam
moth Yellow soybeans from Eestern .
Carolina. It would be a logical
thing for some company to estab- ?
lish a factory in Eastern North |
Caiolina for the manufacture of |
pork and beans from local soybeans, i
A comr any in Wisconson, inter- R
ested in the manufacture of diabet- I
ic foods, has recently requested I
that they be put into communica- I
tion with growers who are in a po- I
sition to supply them with 200 I
bushels of Mammoth Yellow soy. I
beans, presumably for use in the |j
manufacture of diabetic food, as if
has been recognized that soybeans "
meal has advantage for this pur
pose.
Prof. Yoshio Tanaka, a represen
tative of the Imperial University of
Tokio, Japan, has recently been in
this and other Southern States in
vestigating the cottonseed oil indus
try. In a recent letter to the Chief
of the Division of Agronomy he
states: "I have a great interest in
the soybean and peanut oil indus.
tries of the South, and am sure that
these ought to be among the lead
ing industries of the country."
The South has great opportuni
ties for the development of a great
industry from the soybean, and we
as North Carolinians, should see
that this industry is fully developed
for the benefit of our own people.
