Louisburg College News Items College Has A Kami President Earuliardt of Louis burg College announces that the college has bought the Macon , place farm, consisting of one hun dred and eighty acres, seventy' aci?g of which are cleared. This farm was bought) for Louisburg College with money contributed by Miss Amie Stevens, late ol', Goldsboro, North Carolina. Miss Stevens was anxious for Louis burg College to have a farm whereon the college could l'urnish 1 Its kitchen and diuing room with plentiful supplies of fresh milk, butler, meat of all kinds aud veg- , c tables. The Upchurch family, of liae ford has given money to estub- 1 lish on this farm a daivy aud to; supply the farm with all the nec essary stock. The building* on the farm are' being moderhlzed. A new barn has been completed, and a modern dairy barn is now being constructed. Already, a herd of Jersey and Guernsey cat ile have been bought.- and the farm is being stocked with Essex l|ogs. Louisburg College expects to make this Tarm, which is on the Helulerson road, one of the model farms ol this section of the state. Work Ik lligiui I Dr. Walter i'atten, ol .Mount , j OHve. North Carolina, jilio was I I recently appointed by the North Carolina Conference as Field Agent- for Louisburg College, has already begun his work in litjui dating the indebtedness .of the college. Dr. Patten's first object is to acquaint the people of the North Carolina Conference with the opportunities of Douisburg College and to lay before t'liem | tile needs of the institution. He has already prepared an ilustrat ed lecture for Sunday night ser vices, and the pastors of the Con ference have been requested to i get in touch with him. Secoiul Semester Begins The second semester at Louis burg College has just- begun. ( Twelve new students have enroll ed. It is very gratifying to know j that this has been, in every res- j pect, a record year for Louisburg College, because of the fact that it has enrolled the largest student ? body in the history of the institu- j tlon and because of the fact that j the students are better prepared I for college work and seem to have more determination to sue- 1 ceed. Quite a number of improve ments have been made on the ? college campus during the fall se- I mester, and other improvements j will be made before the end of the college year. . j Annual Well Under Way Things haVe really been "buz zing" around the campus at Louis- \ burg for the past two weeks, as j work on "The Oak," the college j annual, has been well under way. The Siddell representative, of Raleigh, has been in the college all t'his week, making photo graphs. The success of the annual Is. to a great extent, going to depend upon the support and generosity of the merchants and towns peo ple of Louisburg. Dr. Earnhardt and the entire college are backing up the publication of this book, and it Is felt that it will be a good advertisement, both for the college and for the town. The Annual Staff, through its Editor-in-Chief, W. T. Medlln, Jr., of Raleigh, wishes to extend Its most stftcere thanka to all of our friends for their aid in the past) and solicit theit- support in the future. , i On High Bench WASHINGTON. D.

FRANKLIN COUNTY OIL MEN MEET LOUISBURG FRIDAY NIGHT Wholesale and retail oil deal- ! ers and their employees of Frank- | lin County will rae^t at 7:30 P. M., Feb. 4, 1938, at the Court j Housf in Louisbui g, according to : S. C. Foster, Chairman of the , Franklin County Petroleum In- ! dust'ries C'oinmittee. Chairman Foster stalled: "The I misuse or highway tax fuudts ijj this State will be discussed at the: meoUiig." 0C the 25c in taxes that the State receives frow every dollar taken in tor' gasoline by service station operators, approximately j 3 per cent is being diverted to non-highway purposes. This, ac cording to Chairman Foster, is tax equivalent to, 3 per cent of the gross receipts of gasoline sales ! and is greater than the net pro-1 fits after wa ;es, overhead and other cosUi a e met. The gasoiine dealers are collec-j ting 7 l-lc on each gallon of gas-' oline, which is equivalent to a , sales tax of 4 8 per cent of the re tail price. S. Gilmer Sparger, of Raleigh. Secretary of the North Carolina Petroleum Industries Committee, will attend and address the meeti ing. In 1936, North Carolina divert ed more than $2,000,000, or 10 per cent of the $20,961,000. in taxes collected, by the Stare, ac cording to the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads.

Part of the sooth's surplus sweet potatoes may soon be used to put the stick in post age stamps. The agriculture depart ment's bureau of chemistry and soils has found that dex trin from sweet potatoe stnrch produced qt Laurel, Miss., makes a fine adhesive for stamps, labels and envel opes. As n result the dextrin may serve as a substitute for the presently used adhesive made from cassava. "The sweet potato dextrin ? has a bland, slightly sweet * taste and Is slightly better as * an adhesive than the stlckum we now use on stamps," of ficials said. * I ? ????????!

COOLEY EXPLAINS FARM BILL / ? 1 Represent;! t iye Harold Cooley I Rives the follow ius ud vane j ex- 1 planatlon of the proposed Farm Bill, which is expected to become law in tew days; "Realizing that tobacco farmers ar^/now engaged in preparing , their plant beds and appreciating ?their desire to obtain as much in- 1 formation as possibly can be ob tained at> the present time with i reference to 1 ;? : ! -S tobacco pro-; gram contemplate by the general i farm bill which is no* in con- ! Terence, I have discussed the situ- ; at ion at length with officials of I the Department of Agriculture in the hope t>h.i t I might make a statement which might be of i some benefit to those who are now preparing for their 19X8 crop. "Under the tobacco marketing quota provisions of the geueral farm bill which is now iu confer ence. the Secretary of Agriculture is required to invoke the market ing quota provision of the act whenever an abnormally excessive supply of tobacco exists; that, is, when the total supply of tobacco as of the beginning of the mar keting year then current exceeds the reserve supply level therefor. According Oo statistics, this condi tion now exists, and iu the event of the final passage of the tobacco provisions of the geueral farm bill, it will become the duty of the- secretary to make the requir ed announcement and to impose marketing quotas. Upon making the announcement, it then will be- . come the duty of the secretary j to conduct a referendum of tobac co producers; and in the event more than two-thirds of the pro ducers voue in favor of the im position of the quota provisions. I the quotas then wiJI become ef-j festive. "The base actvagc of l lu?>-curcd tobacco in 1937 was approximate ly 1,080,000 acres. which does, not include uew growers in 1937 t to whom a base acreage allotment ' had not theretofore been made, i It is estimated that taking into i account adjustments for old grow- 1 ers and bases for new growers in j t i* 3 7 and 1938. the total base would be increased to approxim ately 1,120,000 acres of flue-cur ed tobacco. This compares with the highest acreage on record of 1.144,000 1 acres in 1930, In addition to this, there has been a remarkable in crease in t*he production per acre since the inauguration of the farm programs. In view of the preset situation, it appears that the flue cured crop in 1938 should -be around 700,000,000 pounds, which will of necessity result in a re duction of acreage to approximate ly 850,000 or 875,000 acres in view of the yields how being ob tained. It is not thought the mar ket will take a larger crop In 1938 at anything like the prices in recent years. In making the ad justments, growers \?ith bases of four. acres or less would probably have a reduction of 10 per cent below tfc$"'lMWe, Growers with a Base of mojre-thau ftrfe acres pro bably wouKF have a reduction of 30 per cent ijeitiw t>he base. Grow ers with bas?9 between four and' five acres probably would have an adjustment between 15 and 30 per cent down to 3.6 acres. It ap pears that the necessity for re quiring the little grower to ac cept) a 10 per cent reduction in acreage is due to the Increase in yield per acre in recent years, the idea being that by reducing the acreage the little grower would not exceed his poundage allotment and thereby become liable to the 50 per cent penalty provided. Not So Severe. "While it appears thM the re duction in 1937 must be rather severe if the price is to be main tained, to those who took part in the 1937 agricultural conservation program it will actually result in a reduction of only about 7 per (Continued on page eight) Receives Prize From New York (iris Twelve Prize* At Slate Fair On Chickens Mr. J.

A. met jointly with t'he Methodist Young Women's organization on January 24, 1938 in the social hall of Louisburg C'olVege at which lime the Methodists' rendered the program. The welcome was given l?y Mrs. J. G. Phillips, Counselor tor their organization. All routine business was dis pensed with and the meeting was turned over to the Program Chair man, Miss Helen Smithwick. The program was opened with the singing of "Give of Your Best? to the Master," the topic being "Let 15s Listen To. World Wide Mis sions." A beautiful scripture lesson was given by Mrs. Martin after which Mary Bethay told t'he story of "Our Gifts to World Wide Mis sions" in a very realistic way. Now we pause in the program to listen to a vocal selection, "My Task" rendered by Miss Rose Ma lone, accompanied by Miss Edith Dickson of Louisburg College. Everyone then jo+rtvd in sing ing "We've a "Story to Tell to the Nations." Then Miss Louise Wea ver gave us a picture of "Our Dollars at' Work in the World" through speech using as an ex ample the life of Justice Brandeis. Mrs. Phillips ledt us in prayer that we might do without some of our luxuries that those less fortunate might have some of the necessities of life. Miss Mary Finch, of Louisburg iCollege, gave a piano solo, after which Miss Evelyn Earnhardt gave a reading on "Give Your Best', and The Best Will Come Back To You." Mrs. Hugh H. Perry gave a presentation of "The World Out look," a wonderful spiritual mag azine that will be helpful to the organizations. i This was the close of a wonder ful missionary program. We then enjoyed the fellowship of meeting all present and talking with each other. Delicious refreshments were served to all. The Baptist organization expressed their en joyment of this meeting and ex tended the invitation for the oth ers to meet with them on Febru ary 21, 1938 iu the Baptist As sembly Hall.

Information he has received says: It is almost "Celebration Day" ? Saturday, January 29th. In all cities and towns there is feverish activity over last minute plans for thousands of dances and entertainments, all for t>he cause of the national fight bgainst In fantile Paralysis. A check-up today showed that over 12,000 celebrations have been planned either for Saturday or immediately preceding or follow ing the President's birthday. This will about) triple the num ber of celebrations held in former years, partly due to the fact that this year's program has been vastly expanded. The Birthday Ball will continue I to be popular, but In addition I there will be thousands of other i forms of entertainments includ ing sporting events, benefit per formances, dinners, parties, etc. Reports coming to Peter A.
