SALISBURY MEN
ARE HONORED
J. Allan Dunn and E. Clyde
Ennis, who have won recognition
of their work in genealogical and
historical research, have been hon
ored by election to membership in
The Institute of American Geneal
ogy of Chicago. The Institute is
the largest genealogical society in
America and acts as the National
Clearing House for Genealogical
Information.
Dr. William B. Duttera, of the
Parish House, who has also been
engaged in genealogical research on
his own family, is also a member
of the Institute of some years’
standing:
Membership in the Institute is by
election of the Council. It includes
in its membership the leading pro
fessional genealogists in this coun
try and in England, Scotland, Ire
land1, Wales, Germany, Holland,
France, Switzerland, aCnada, Aus
tria, Denmark, Finland, Italy,
Mexico, and Poland, as well as
many other persons distinguished
in official, educational, scientific
and social annals of these countries
and throughout the U. S., who are
interested in the eugenic as well as
A. *_:-.t ___1_
of genealogy.
National recognition in this field
afords contact with the leading
genealogists throughout the United
States and many foreign countries,
as well as access to the extensive
lineage files of the National Clear
ing House for Genealogical Infor
mation which will, enable them to
expand the scope of their work very
materially.
It will be of interest to the
members and prospective members,
and especially to the registrars of
the Daughters of the American
Revolution, Sons of the American
Revolution, Colonial JDames, Order
of the Founders and Patriots of
America, Society of Colonial Wars,
and other hereditary-patriotic so
cieties to learn that a local resident
has been formed these international
contacts, because they will make
possible the necessary genealogical
research to qualify for membership
in these and other societies without
outside aid.

Federal Liquo
Laws Are On
Marked changes in Federal liquoi
law enforcement operations ir
North Carolina have resulted frorr
the new situation created by repea
of the eighteenth admendment anc'
the national prohibition law passec
thereunder, according to U. S. Dis
trict Attorney J. R. McCrarv.
It is no longer a crime in itself tc
maxe, possess or transport nquoi
even in North Carolinaunder Fed
eral law, but it is a violation tc
make, transport or conceal spirit!
on which Federal revenue tax ha;
not been paid. It is also unlawful
under Federal law now to mov«
taxpaid liquor from a wet state intc
North Carolina if the shipment is
intended for delivery here.
There are no longer any prohi
bition agents in the state though a
good many of the men who former
ly served as prohibition or investi
gation agents are still in service.
They now serve in dual capac'ties
They are agents of the alcoholic
beverage unit and are also rated as
1 «f -TV • f «
ucpucy tuuctiun. rcrsuns lnuitteu
for distilling, transporting or pos
sessing quantities of liquor in North
Carolina may be indicted also un
der "tTTe Federal law for failing to
pay Uncle Sam tax on the booze.
Some have already been so charged
in this district and the district at
torney indicated that all important
state dry law violators will stand in
peril of Federal action under the
revenue laws. Government agents
will also initiate action against sue1
violators on the same ground.
If an automobile or other vehicle
is seized by a Federal agent while
it is being used in transportation of
untaxed spirits it will be subject to
the same confiscation as prevailed
under revenue laws before prohibi •
rion. If tljp value is under $5 00
Federal Officers may proceed to
have the property appraised and
sold. Court procedure is necessary
where value is over $500. Innocent
hen-holders against cars or other
property seized under the revenue
law cannot come in and prove their
claim as was the case under the
prohibition law, points out the dis
trict attorney. The property must
be sold and the lien-holder will
then have twelve months within
which to petition the treasury de
partment for a refund to cover in
terest or equity in the property.
Once taxpaid spirits get into the
state, the Federal officers will noi
be interested in the fact that state
law is violated by its possesion 01
sale. It will be the duty of these
officers, however, to proceed againsi
anyone engaged in runnng taxpaid
spirits into North Carolina or any
other dry state where evidence can
be procured, he added.
Although there are 13,419 Vol
stead law violation cases still pend
ing in the nation and depending
upon the decision of the supreme
court in the test case argued at
Washington last week in the ap
peal of which Mr. McCrary played
an important part, the docket in
the middle district contains less
than a hundred, he said.—Lexington

New Cotton Program
Expands 1933 Gains
The value of the 1933 cottor
crop to growers of the Sou cl
amounted in round figures tc
$856,776,000, including both lint
and1 seed. This includes rental
payments of $111,500,000 and op
tion payments of $48,000,000, ami
is based on a production of 13,177,
000 bales for the season.
The value of the 1932 cotton
crop, including lint and seed, wa<
only $425,488,000 and is based on
a-production of 13,200,000 in that
year.
"Comparing these two sets of
figures we see that there was about
the same production of cotton in
each year, yet the crop of 193 3
brouht to the farmers about twice
as much cash as the crop of 1932,”
says Dean I. O. Schaub, head of the
Agricultural Extension Service at
State College. This can mean only
one thing. It indicates that cot
ton farmers cooperating with each
other and with their Government
not only removed the possibility of
a crop greatly in excess of that ac
tually produced, but they also
served notice on the cotton-con
suming world that they could co
operate with Government assist
ance and would do so again in
1934.”
As a result of the better prices
Corn-Hog Contract
Simple Business Deal
The corn-hog adjustment con
tract may be regarded as a simple
business deal between the farm and
the Secretary of Agriculture, it is
pointed out by W. W. Shay, swine
extension specialist at State Col
lege.
The contracting producer agrees
under the contract to make a defi
nite reduction for 1934 of 20 per
cent in his corn acreage and twenty
five percent in his hog producton
for market. He also agrees to
abide by other sections of the con
tract, such as regulation of the use]
of contracted acres.
The Secretary of Agriculture is
obligated under the contract to
make certain payments to the pro
ducer for fullfilling the contract
terms. For each acre- of, land Cf*
fered by producers and accepted
for contract, the Secretary will pay
in one or more installmens a total
of 30 cents per bushel on the esti
mated yield of corn-from the con
tracted acres. The Secretary ob
ligates himself to pay 15 cents of
this amount as soon as practicable
after he accpets the contract, and
to pay 15 cents per oushel more,
less the producer’s pro ratio share of
local of administrtive expensive*,
on dr after November 15, 1934,
upon such proof of compliance with1
the contract as may be required.
The Secretary also agrees under
the contract to pay the producer
a total of $5 per head on 75 per
cent of the annual average number
of hogs produced for market by
the producer from 1932 and 1933
litters.
Of this amount, $2 willl be paid
as soon as practicable after the con
tract is accepted. The remainder,
less the producer’s pro rata share of
local administrative expenses, will
be paid in two installments, the first
on or about November 15, 1934.'
and the final payment on or about
February 1, 1935.
Save Legume Seed
To Improve Land
North Carolina agriculture is
seriously handicapped by a lack ol
legumes to enrich the soil. If every
farmer should grow his own seed,
legume production could be easily
increased by 1,000,000 acres in the
next two or three years.
"The present scarcity of all kinds
of legume seed demonstrates that
farmers cannot depend upon the
purcl^fc of sg
Blair, extension agronomist at
State College. " W. A. Davis.
Johnson county farmer, has seen
the mistake of trying to cultivai
land without legumes and has pro
vided for an ample supply in the
future. On this 130 acres of crop
land, 30 acres were devoted to corn
and soybeans last year. He har
vested 75 bushels of soybeans with
out interfering with his corn crop.
From 10 acres in cowpeas, he gath
ered 80 bushels by' hand. He also
has 10 acres in corn and velvet
beans. The latter have not been
threshed, but will supply all all he
needs for 1934. The legume vines
will also greatly enrich the soil
when turned -under.”
Mr. Blair says any farmer desir
ing to improve his land, can, with
little difficulty, increase his crop of
legumes without seriously interfer
ing with his money and food crops.
He can start in a small way and
continue to harvest planting seed
until enough has been secured to
plant the desired acreage each
'ear.
prevailing in the South in the fal'
of 1933, and by reason of the bene
fit checks distributed, many farm
ers reduced their outstanding in
debtedness, paid back taxes, repaid
Government seed loans, and bought
needed work stock and implements.
A few tenants made cash payments
on lands of their own. It was com
mon during the fall to see cotton
growers and their families crowd
ling into the stores buying family
supplies and purchasing luxuries
that had been denied them for sev
eral years.
i Dean Schaub says the progran
|for 1934 and 193 5 seeks a con
tinuance of these beter days on the
cotton farms of the South. Those
who sign the reduction contracts
will not only get rental checks at
planting time and at cotton-pick
ing time but will aid in reducing
the surplus of cotton so that the
crop produced will be more profit
able to each grower.
