jpertford County Herald A PAPER WORTH WHILE i|MHW -nil '? r "T? "I HTHiatii '?i.iC-I i ? ?!? HH?h ?! Mill UTa J. '_ ; ... . - VOL. 9. AHOSKIE, NORTH CAROLINA. JANUARY 10. 1919 -f N0 30 I ? 1 ? THE COTTOiSEEO PROGRAMJNCHANGED Prices of Cottonseed tad Cottonseed Products to Remain Same Throughout the Season ? FOOD ADMINISTRATION CON TROL CONTINUES Raleigh, Jan. 8.?A number of inquiries regarding the possibility of changes in the prices of cotton seed or cottonseed products, which have no doubt resulted from the removal of some f?od administra tion restrictions on the wheat mill ing industry and the rescinding of other regulations affecting consum ers, have drawn from the office of State Pood Administrator Henry A. , Page a statement to the effect that there is no prospect of any change in the stabilized program under which the cottonseed industry is being operated. It is recognized by producers and crushers generally, that the con trol of the cottonseed Industry by the food administration has saved it from confusion and chaos, with re sultant losses and anxiety for all interests concerned. It ,w o n I d manifestly be unfair at this stage the season to withdraw the con trol that has stabilized the industry, assured farmers of good prices for seed, and allowed crushers a fair margin on their operations. the announcement from Mr. Paige's office is designed to remove uncertainty and apprehension from the minds alike - of .producers, who still have seed on hand, cottonseed dealers, crushers and the consumer ?of cottonseed meal sad hulls.

THE FARMER AND HIS PEA NUTS The peanut situation rs reeards market price vitally affects the farmers of this section. If pea nuts are o be marketed at the pre valing price, then the farmer must not only sacrifice all his labar and the expepse of producing his pres ent etop, but must engage in a business wherein the consumer pavs less for the finifhed product than it cost the farmer to raise it. That is what the farmer is doing, if he sells peanuts at prevailing prices. Five end six cents Der pound for peanuts will not cover the cost of produc tion. But, happily, the farmer does not have to sell his product for what the other man?the cleaner and manufacturer?o fT e r s. The farmer is just that independent that he can command a living wage for what be does. Without him* the consumer ultimately is minus his goods. It is, then, up to the farmer to demand his price ?and this price is a reasonable one. In order to make his demands felt and obeyed, it is necessary that every farmer pledge himself to withold hiapro ducts from the market. Organiz ation, then, is necessary. There ha* been for levera! years an association of peanut growers of Virginia and North Carolina; but the large bulk of farmers have taken little interest in the organiz ation. However, with the present low-market facing them, the farm ers have taken cogfrizaftce of or ganization; and as a result they are organizing themselves into local associations, and pledging one with another that the present crop will be witheld from the market until a fair price is offered. Merchants and bankers are co operating with the farmers to the end that money will be advanced for peanuts on storage, and the farmers' credit thereby extended. A meeting held at Ahoskie last Saturday, between bankers, mer cffcnts and farmers, resulted in formulating a working plan whereby this result may be effected. Every one present at the meeting agreed that'under no circumstances should peanuts be sold this year for less than eight cents per pound. Cer tainly at eig^t cents the farmer is not asking too much; and, in fact, he should have more. The Herald's advice to the farmer is "Hold your ?peanuts for eight cents xr more."

Not only that, bat they saw how American fighters conquer the delicacy. Here yon see royalty emerging from their first entounter with the favorite American breakfast delight It would al most seem they were viewing the Marines aad Sailors as though wondering U this is the food on which they grow so husky. King George missed the best part of the recant pancake treat at Lon don Eagle Hut?he didn't tarn 'am personally. Everyone else la doing It bow, patting an extra edge on their appetites by manipulating the flipper. The six Y. M. C. A. cake-bakers were on the verge of prostration after serving 6,124 American soldiers and sailors with pancakes In the first fif teen days' rash on this pet edible, when a hat secretary had a happy ' thought. He induced the pancake fiends not aaly to bake their own, bat t Bl#o to demonstrate with the batter and fur for their hungry buddies. The idea went big, especially as the "V" retails two Ban's sise cakes with appropriate maple syrup both for sixpence. A Tennessee boy made a big hit with King George whan the latter ?trode Into the room where the royalty was gssembied. "They tell me the king is here," remarked the Tennesseeaa. "and I ' wnnt to shake hands with the head of this beautiful country." i J ? ? ? -- - - r * The king gave the Tennessee boy a hearty handshake and Inquired < as to the state In America from wktsfc he same. j Ahoskie Town ! Council Sees Light j The Town Council, composed of the following gentlemen: ? Coronfssoners Robert Holloman, J. H. Robertson and G. J. New- 1 berry, Mayor W. L. Curtis, at their regular monthly meeting on J Monday night, January 6th, went on record as favoring a bond J issue for the installation of a drainage system and the improve ment of streets in the town of Ahoskie. They definitely decided by vote to present resolutions to our coanty representative at Raleigh, asking that he have enacted by the present legWature a bill providing for a referendun. vote. A bill will be drafted here ! and presented to Stanley Winborne at Raleigh, who has, by his assurances, left no doubt as to Its final passage. The same meeting developed a motion, which was success fully passe<i, asking for an extension of ihe corporate limits of J the town. A surveyor is now on the job, plotting the new ad ditions to be added, and Just as soon as his work has been ac complished, a new plot of the town will be drafted, together with a bill asking for the extension of the limits, will be presented i to thn legislature for passage. The commiasoners also drafted resolutions demanding that the Coast Line railroad provide gates for the Main street crossing; and also that they provide better accommodations at the local depot, in the way of heat and light. The Hearld views with alsrm the position of the deadheads of Ahoskie, who have long enough lelegated the town to the class of non-progressive. The Ight has been turned on by the com missioners. It is now up to our people to intensify this new light. | ? JJ. . .if - . . . H ?

' j ? i? 7305 WINTER GARDENS FOR NEGROES IN N. C. Raleigh, Jan. 7.?A report to the food administration by Mils Minnie L Jamiepon, of Greensboro, state secretary of volunteer college, workers under the food administra tion, shows that 7305 fall and winter garders were planted for negroes in 18 North Carolina cities, as the result of the work 6f the Negro college volunteers in co oDeration with the organization of John D. Wray; Negro Farm Club agent. J One paragraph in.Miss Jamieson's report 's good enough to quote. ? Here it is: I "The foods from these gardens will be a very material aid to the patriotic families that raised them. However, the example of thrift, the ' gain in self respect and the further 1 development of a patriotic spirit, 1 will mean more to the negro citi- 1 zenship of these cities than the ; material gain to the individual homes, much as that is to he de- ' sired.''

So, on Tuesday night, De cember 31, the fourth annual Old New Year banquet was held at the Manhattan hotel.

Taylor, Mayor W. L. Curtis, M. D. Curtis, I. Otis Carter, J. N. Vann, C. L, Blount and H. R. Paschall. Mrs. M.I D.
