FARM BUREAU HOLDS
MEETING
(Continued from page one)
tributeJ to every community in
the County, taking with it increas
ed and more economical produc
tion; that the 4-H Club mem
ben averaged on their corn pro
ject approximately 35 bushels ot
corn per acre during 1935 crop
year as compared with approxi
mately It bushels per acre (or all
farmers In the County.
Mr. G. L. Winchester ot the
Soli Conservation Service stated
that the greatest asset God gave
man was fertile soil on which to
grow crops and make a living,
but that man was wasteful and
untrained In his habits and meth
ods of cultivation and as a re
sult the greatest asset of this
county, its topsoil, is travelling
at a rapid rate of speed down Tar
River. He stated that the Boil
Conservation flervice, located In
Frankllnton, were Increasing Its
efforts to haw- afore farmers of
the County cooperating with their
program, bat as they could touch
only a small percentage of the
farmers in the county, it was es
sential that farmer* put into prac
tice crop stripping, crop rotation
and soil tfoslon control.
Mr. W. H. M. Jenkins. Presi
dent of the Fanpers Club, which
merged with . the Farm Bureau at
the last me&tmt, stated that he
was glad to be abUt to attend this
meeting had see tnGrold faces that
were so dear to him; that he was
willing to cooperate with this
group to accomplish the great
needs of the farmers of Franklin
County.
Mr. W. C. Eaglea stated that to
bacco was the greatest asset of
Franklin County and that It was
essential that our farmers work
with the Farifa Bureau to establish
the economic security of the to
bacco farms.
Mr. E. T. Floyd, Tobacco Speci
alist of the Extension Service, for
the State of North Carolina, wai
then presented. In his short bat
very interesting and inspiring talk
he stated that the income Of the
tobacco farmers, of North Caro
lina had increased fr'tfm the sum
of *S?,000,000 in 1932 to the
sum of $117,000,000 in 19*1.
He farther stated that he did
not believe any policies could
maintain tobacco prices at an ave
rage above twenty-six cents, bat
stated that farmers would have
to use better practices and better
methods of production, thereby
producing a better grade of to
bacco in order to expect an ave
rage between eighteen and twenty
four cents as foreign countries
with a poor climatic condition and
less adaptable to tobacco soil,
could and are producing this low
er grade of tobacco.
He stated that this year due to
the reasons of uncertainties as to
the control program that wonld
be in effect next yeai?1hat he had
been informed by Independent
companies buying tobacco that
they wonld be able to pay as high
trice for low grade tobacco this
H M they paid last year lf t??y
" be assured that production
controlled in 1M-7, He
t tobacco selling for a
? ?nta a pound was
higher than last
"icco selling be
pound is sell
the same quality
sold last year.
He stated that It was essential
that tobacco farmers begin think
ing in terms of good crop rota
tion for tobacco. He said that
some of our farmers have pro
dnced tobacco on same piece of
land for the past twenty-fire i
years without any serious trouble,
but that for erery one who had
not had any trouble, he could
i^fune one hundred who had1 been
unsuccessful in their efforts.
Mr. Floyd operates a tobacco
farm within eighteen miles of
Loulsburg In Granville County
and stated that he used the fol
lowing rotations with extremely
good results: First year, tobacco
'followed by wheat; Second year.
Wheat harvested and followed by
cither Herds Grass or Red Top or
Lespedeza which atands for two
years. This is followed by either
cotton or corn the fourth year, and
tbe next year is again planted to
tobacco. He further stated that
seed to go Into the rotation la ex
pensive, and the best way he knew
of was to grow them on the farm.
As a last statement he said that
every one conld be bettered by
crop rotations of some type, and
that the rotation should be adapt
ed to the conditions of his farm
and himself. Even though tobacco
Is grown on land continuously for
twenty years, there Is a crop rota
tion If rye grows over winter on
this land.
Mr. Lamm then called en mem
bers for suggestions as to how
the Farm Bureau could be Improv
ed. Mr. E. J. Morgan suggeste4
that a committee be appointed to
work out a sound Farm Bureau
Program for next year.
Mr. N. H. Ayscue requested the
Farm Bureau to give his commun
ity their support in securing as
sistance from the State Highway
Department in constructing a road
to Whitakers Mill. Motion was
made by W. C. Boyce that ? rural
road committee be appointed to
lnveatlgate the roads approved by
the Franklin County Hoard of
Commissioners and recommended
to the Highway Department, and
put the power of the organiza
tion behind the application to
secure necessary action. Motion
was seconded and passed. Motion
was made by G. L. Winchester
that Chairman be permitted to
appoint the committee at 'later
date In order to get representa
tives from each rural roajd.
Motion was made and passed
that there being no further. busi
ness the meeting be adjourned.

Highlights
Charlotte. Sept. 10.? Highlights
of President Roosevelt's address
before the "Seven States Oreen
Pastures" Democratic rally here
today:
"If history gives a name to the
age in which we are living, I hope
it will call this the 'Era of Re
building'
"In respect to cotton I had a
definite objective: ... to get 10
cent cotton our first. year In of
fice and to get 12 cent cotton or
i more tor the next three year. .. .
1 1 ask you In simple fairness have
wc attained that goal?"
"I don't believe that the great
tobacco growing etates of the na
tion wish to go back to the days
of 'every man for himself and
I let the devil take the hindmost'
"We have eqgbled the public,
through a practical prosperity, to
begin to pay their debts, to paint
[their houses, to buy_ farm tools
' and ? automobiles, to lent more
' boys and girls tnrotfgh school and
college, to put some money in the
; bank and, incidentally, to know
for the first time that the money
I in the bank is safe."
"A family that tries to subsist
'on a total wage income of $400
a year Is Just as much a drag on
: the prosperity of America as the
' (arm family that seeks to subsist
on a yearly cash income of )100."
. . The National Recovery
Act, during its short term of life,
accomplished as much for the re
storation of prosperity through
the establishment of the minimum
wage, the shortening of hour* and
the elimination of child labor as
any law put on the statute books
of the Federal government In the
past century."
". . . Any common sense, logi
cal governmental policy and to be- '
gin with the building up of farm '
and other property values, and '
crop values, and the Increase of
workers wages if that now historic
corner was ever to he turned."
"History records that a . few '
years ago farmers . . . workers '
In factories . . . the small busi
ness man . . . and the corpora- .
tion were not making both ends
meet."
"History will also record that '
by the year 1936 a very much i
larger number of individuals are
back In the blMk; so ar? most of
our small biuAneas men; so are
most of our corporations and so
