VOL. XLVI
Alamance County Tobacco Farmer*
Called (o Meet at Court Hoose 
in Graham on Saturday , No
vember 13, 1926,
. 1 at Noon-
The Executive Committee of the
North Carolina Tobacco Growers'
Assocftviion in meeting at Ralegh,
October Ist, 1920, recommend and
urge that all tobacco growers in
North Carolina organize them
selves into the North Carolina
Tobacco Growers' Association,
arid invite all Jfeirties interested
in the growing and selling of to
bacco to join this organization.
We recommend that in every
county in every tobacco growing
district, there be organized county
branches of this Asßooiatiou, with
the following officers: A Presi
dent, Vice-President, Organizer.
Secretary-Treasurer and an Ex
, ecutive Committee of five mem
bers; that in every township there
be a township organization with
*a President, Vice-President, Or
ganizer, Secretary-Treasurer, and
an Executive Committee of five
members.
The Executive Committee are
now preparing for publication the
detailed plans of organization with
constitution and by-lhws.
The tobacco crop of 1920 ts
large, but it is not sufficiently iarge
to cause the low prices now ex
perienced. Tobacco is selling at
below the cost of production and
we urge every tobacco grower ,in
North Carolina to market hid crop
as slowly aa possible, covering a
period of eight months—selling
only what he is compelled to sell
to save and to be just to all co
operative creditors, holding the
balance of his crop until adequate
prices, covering at least the cost
of production and a reasonable
profit thereon can besecured. We
urge that all farmers agree and
themselves to largely reduce
the tobacco crop of 1921, suffi
ciently to bring the supply of to
bacco so produced in that year
within ttye limit of the estimated
demand. This will be carefully
Worked out and the extent of re
duction will be soon recommended
and will be based on the most ac
curate obtainable information,
secured by a committee co-operat
ing with the State and Federal
Departments of Agriculture.
It is nrged that at least one
whole time official organizer be
put in the field at once in every
tobacco growing county, prefer
ably for the present the County
Demonstrator, if there be'one in
the county, to perfect at once in
every township in tne county a
township organization; and that
teams be organized in each county
to co-operate with the State and
county organization for securing
membership and pledges.
The membership fees and terms
of eligibility with blank pledge
cards are now being prepared
along with the constitution and
by-laws by the State Executive
•Committee. The Executive Com
mittee is also preparing a charter
for the organization.
As soon as the Tobacco Growers'
Association is sufficiently organ
ized, we will urge the building of
co-operative warehouses and also
the establishment of prize houses
and re-drying plants to the end
that all tobacco may be deposited
by the farmer, graded, dried and
prepared to use as collateral
to secure loans for holding the
tobacco.
All bankers, merchants, ware
housemen and fertilizer com
panies are urged to extend all
-consideration possible to the to
bacco farmers in the collection of
notes and obligations, aiding them
in every way to carry their crops
until a more favortble market if
offend. bttriHOi merchant#,
warehousemen and fertiHxer.com
panitae will Also be aUktsd and
urged to co-operate with the To- !
bacco Growers' Association ia ma
terially red*cing the size Of the
crop for 1921, and in dfchwfrwisf
effecting the purposes of the To
bacco Growers' Association.
We urge the tobaeea growers in
their first township and eon nty
meetings to prepare strong xesol u
tions to submit to the Senators
and .Representatives in Congress
from North Carolina, urging them
individually and collectively to
insist that the Secretary of thai
Treasury, Federal Reserve. Bauk
and the War Finance Board tiike
some steps to finance the present
crop of tobacco, or give a plain
reason why. We feel that It is
the duty of the Federal Govern
ment to help relieve the present
disastrous crisij that faces the
tobaoco farmer. We also suggest
that individual tobacco grow-re
in North Carolina write personal
letters to their Representatives
and Senators in Congress, asking
and insisting that some way be
found to finance the present to
bacco crop.
We believe that it is the duly
and function of the- Federal Re
serve Board to help finance the
tobacco farmers at this time, and
we do not feel that the Federal
Reserve Board has helped the
farmer as it should.
We invite tobacco growers in
Virginia, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Georgia and Kentucky to
join with the North Carolina As
sociation in organizing.for their
mutual protection.
As soon as the county organiza
tions are perfected a general State
meeting will be called and repre
sentatives from each w i"
be asked to attend.
W. J. GRAMAM,
Chairman.
The Present Outlook of the Irish
Potato Industry.
C- J. Hayden, in The Progressive
Farmer.
In comparison with recently ears,
the 1920 crop of Irish potatoes
was decidedly remunerative. Be
cause of the unprecedented
returns, growers may be prone to
increase their acreage and others
to engage in this industry.
Suppose a few statistic are ex
amined. In 1917, the crop total
ed 443,000,000 bushels; in 1918
412,000,000 bushels; and in 1919
only 358,000,000, which explains
possibly the excellent prices of
the past season since consuming
capacity each year is approxi
mately 400,000,000 bushels.
You ask, "What about the 19*20
• crop"? It is this: The estimated
, yield is 412,000,000 bushels,
13,000,000 more than the average
consuming capacity of the nation.
At the present writing, Northern
: grown potatoes are bringing
about $2 per barrel in the large
1 consuming centers, that amount
- being 50 cents less than cost of
, production as started by the
grounders. Rather than- accept
1 this ruinous price, Northern
> grown potatoes are being stored
. to await better market conditions.
The prospective commercial
Irish potato grower should draw
his own conclusions as to the, ad
visability of heavy plantings of
- spuds in the face of the existing
f status of the storage and market
j condition.

MORE COLLEGE ROOM.
University Students Send Mining
Message to People, for More
Room at Colleges for
Boys and Girts.
Cor. of The Gleaner.
Chapel Hill, N. C , Nov. 9th—
Students of t*>e University of
North Carolina have started a
f*a"Mpiiign to te'l the people of the
sta'o the conditions uti'ler whi>h
they a e forced to live !»«•;* use of
over'iowded dormitorl"* n d in
adequa e eating facilll ies. In the
biggfst and most serious minded
mars ineuting of year held
last week one thousand of them
resolved that if living condition,
which were characterized by
stmtcht speakers as unlit for
men wem to be bettered, it
would be l>v the efforts of the
s udents themselves.
They jjave a thundering vote of
uiiHnimous approval to a program
of what they called ' Givin the
peopla of North Carolina" the
facts", as out ined by the'r stud
ent campus cabinet and they pre
parted and voted again unanimous
ly to send a message to tin- people
stating tneir case.
"As part of the large company :
of your sons and daughters who
today crowd the North Carolina
colleges, we wish t> face facts
with you", said this message, the
adoption of which WHS' moved by
E E. Rives, of G e nsboro.
"The main fact is that ihe public
schools are turning out graduates
in-far larger numbe s ili .n the
colleges can take earn of in a de
cent way. ' »ver 3.CM.0 will gradu
ate from the high schools next
spring. Even now students eat
in shifts in Chapel Hill boarding
houses and packed three and four
in a room in the dormitories.
Our congestion here is but repre
sentative of the congestion in all
the North Carolina Colleges.
"We pr seut these facts to you
with their simple story of present
urgent need of room in which to
eat, sleep, and study. We hope,
the churches will build more
buildings at the denominational
coileges and the stale will build
more buildings at ilie state col
leges.
"The lfiain fa't is nut our pres
cut congestion, critical a a ilmt is
in tact and significance, but the
larger coucern is to make room
for the boys aud girls who even
now are treasuring in their hearts
the hope of going to college in
North Carnlina. Wjth belief ill
her greatness we tr>ipt that North
Carolina will not cluie the door in
•their faces.
"We send this message of hope
to the people of North Carolina
with confident faith that the peo
ple, armed with the facts, will rise
up to meet a big problem in a big
way."
The student, body has tint been
so stirred in many years as It has
become over its pres.-nt over
crowded condition, Hud test week's
meeting, arising spontaneously
from the students and backed by
the leading men in college took on
the character of a crusade. _
W. R. Uerrybill of Chrrlotte,
president of the senior class, John
H. Kerr. Jr., of Warrenum, chair
man of the cainpu- cabinet, T. C.
Taylor, editor of the Carolina
Magazine, W. H. Bobbin, of Char
lotte and B. C. Brown of Ouslow
county, all prominent seniors, led
the discussion.
Farm Bookkeeping.
Farmers, as a rule, are highly
individualistic in their methods,
and farm business conditions vary
■ widely. Accordingly, ready-made
systems of farm accounts seldom
bring out all tlte facts that the
' farmer ought to know. Systems
; must be developed to tit/ each
> man's requiiements, and efforts to
) shape one's needs accordion to a
j prepared system not based pri
. marily ou these needs will almost
! inevitably result in failure. Write
; the United States JJepartmeot of
i Agriculture, Washington, D. C.,
I for Farmers' Bulletin 511, con
taining an outline of the princi
ples of simple farm bookkeeping.

YOUTH OF SOUTH
SET EXAMPLE IN
RED CMSS WO«K
With Opening ol Schools, Thou
sand* Join Junior
Organization
Atlanta, Ga., Nov.—lf the men and
women ot tire south show ths.
enthusiasm in the Fourth Red Cross
Roll Call that children of the south
are displaying in renewing their al
legiance to the Junior Red Cross, the
southern division will show a'record
number ot Red Cross members when
the Roll Call ends.
Truly, children are learning the way
for the grownups in Joining the Red
Cross, according to figures given out
today at Red Cross division headquar
ters in Atianta.
Reorganisation of the Junior Red
Cross was begun when schools opened
this fall. Now, although but litUe
more than a month has passed, more
than twenty thousand children la the
southern division have renewed their
membership In the Red Cross, and be
fore Christmas, it is expected triple
that number >lll have enroUed.
The Junior Red Cross, while auxil
-1 lary to the American Red Cross, is a
.separate and distinct organization.
With Its own program of service. It is
organised through the schools, where
it 11 one of the most popular and high
ly regarded ot student activities. The
Juniors have their own "roll calls",
the time varying with the different
schools.
Many Juniors had their "roll calls'
when school first opened this year.
That the children are more enthuslas
tic than ever In Red Cross work Is
demonstrated by the fact that, while
less than 2,000 had joined the Red
Cross by November 1. 1819, more than
20.00P have joined already this year.
Last year the Junior Red Cross in
the southern division had a total mem
bership of 162,807. Judging by the
way in which children are enrolling
this year, the 1920-21 membership will
go well beyond 200,000.
The purpose of the Junior Red
Cross and its activities could not be
, better explained than by James N.
Rule, national director of the Junior
Red Cross. He says:
"The Junior Red Cross is the child
hood of America mobilized through the
schools —public, parochial and private
—for the purpose ot inculcating ideals
and habits of service among children
the world over, with the idea that the
men and women of tomorrow will, as
a result of this childhood practice,
think in terms of service to others;
for the purpose not merely of training
In citizenship for the future, but of
making unselfish, useful yoiing citi
sens today; for tu purpose of instUl
ing respect and obedience to the law
of the land, and for the purpose of
transmitting America to succeeding
generations cleaner, healthier and
happier than It was found.
"The requirement for membership
is solely one of service.- There Is no
individual membership fee. The use
fulness of a Junior Red Cross auxU
iary in aUevlating want and Battering
among chUdren at home and abroad
depends on the initiative and enter
prise of the classroom group and the
teacher, the latter being the auxiliary
leader. •
"Everything done is by co-operative
effort of teacher and class, whether it
be in raising money by some entertain
ment or industry; the making of gar
ments, furniture, toys, scrapbooks, or
in a community betterment activity.

Over' are slogan*, of the Junior Red
Cross which broadly characterize it*
mission.
"Formed In 1917 to help Win the
war, the Junior Red Cross, with a mem
bership of 10,000,000, produced in
twenty months $16,000,000 worth of
useful articles for American soldiers,
sailors, marines and war - stricken
people of other lands. But in this
service the childhood of America was
only awakeked to a consciousness of
its power for good, With the result that
Armistice Day, 1918, sounded to this
unprecedented childhood's organisa
tion as a clarion call to on.'
"Since then the Junior Red Cross
has grown to approximately 1,000,000
members; has raised considerably
more than a million dollars In money;
bas produced countless articles of prac
tical use tor destitute families at home
and abroad, these articles including
layettes, clothing, toys, tables and
chairs, and has distributed free milk
and other food in various forms.
"Essentially a school organisation,
the Junior Red Cross operates along
educational Unfes, Its relief projects
being introductions for the, promotion
of goodwill, good citlienshlp and al
truism.
"Forty per cent of the auxiliary
funds raised by group cooperation is
devoted to purely local relief among
needy children. Sixty per cent is for
warded to National Headquarters in
Washington, where it is administered
without overhead expenses.
"This is being used for orphanages,
schools, gardens and health and play

Burns Wore Big Hat
A Scottish antiquarian has been
making Inquiries of a London batter
"with a large clientele of men of the
Intellectual dlnsses," as to the site of
hat that must have been worn by
Robert. Burns, whose skull measure
ment wns 22% Inches. It seems that
8% is the size for so considerable a
girth. According to the same "intel
lectual" hatter. Sir Walter Scott's hat
was a full Qbi, his bead circumference
being 20% Inches. A Dumfries batter
says no Dumfries man among bis cus
