County Agent Discusses Com
( munty Fair and Other Mat
ters Pertaining to Farming
(By A. H. HsrriB)
On Wednesday night, August 23,
a meeting was, held at Newport for
the purpose of organizing end elect
ing officers for the Newport Com.
munity Fair .Association. The meet
ing had been advertised extensively
in that community and a large per
cent of farmers s and business men
were presents . '
Mr. W. -E. Fodrie was elected presi
dent of the association. Mr. Fodrie
is one bunder per ent farmer and
operates a farm two miles from town.
M. Sam D. Edwards, a very success
ful and hard working farmer in that
community was elected Vice-President.
Mr. N. J. Siigmon, principal
of the Newport school was elected
Secretary Treasurer. The officers
have assumed their duties and start
ed work immediately.
' In my estimation, nothing can cre
ate a real community interest like the
community fair and it is my impres-
' sion that farmers and business men-
fn and around Newport realize this
-V fact This is the first project of its
; kind that has ever been launched in
this county and it will take plenty of
hard work and boosting to put it a
cross, but with the officers that we
have at the head of our organization,
we can only see success staring us in
the face.
As yet the date for this fair has
not been decided on, but will, be,
sometime in the near future

COMPLAINT FILED W . ,,' 7
I INJUNCTION : PROCEEDINGS
The complaint in the injunction of
E. W, Brooks against the board of
commisioners of the town of Beau
fort in the Eushall and Duncan esse
was 'filed with Clerk of the Superior
court L. W. Hassell last Thursday.
An order from Judge Calvert requir
ing Messrs Bushall and Duncan to ap
pear before him in New Bern on Tueg
day September 5th and show cause
why they should not pay back into
the town treasury certain amounts
drawn as salaries was also filed.: The
answer of the defendants to the com
plaint has not been filed at this writ
ing Readers of the News will doubtless
remember that the purpose of the ac
tion referred to is to restrain the
board of commissioners from paying
a salary to G. W. Duncan as city at
torney and C. H. Bushall for his ser
vices as inspector and supervisor of
the sewerage and water construction j
now going on in Beaufort. The mat- j
ter began with a contest in the board I
of commisioners started by Commis.
sioner G. W. Huntley. The board
refused to reverse its action and
then the resort to the courts followed.
WOMEN WELFARE OBJECT
OF GROWING CONCERN
WASHINGTON The increasing
concern of the federal government
for. women welfare demonstrated by
the growth of the home economics
activities under the Federal Board of
Vocational Education and the U. S
Department" of Agriculture.
For the year ending June 30, 192?,
the 'allotment, of federal vocational
funds under the Smit-Hughes act a
vailable for home economics aggre-
.'gate. $357,834. This compares with
$304,614 for 1922 and $225,414 for
1021. Since these funds are allot
ted to .the states on a fifty- fifty, ba
sis, requiring each state to'add an
equal or greater amount to the .fed
eral allotment quota, the total ex
pended for home economics is much
more than indicated. '
The number of home economics
schools receiving federal aid in the
fiscal year 1921 totaled 914. The
expansion of the movement is seen
by comparison of this figure with 700,
the total for 1920; 463 for 1919 and
32S for 1918. .
The enrollment ff students in
these federal aided home economics
schools for the same years has been
as follows: ' : J .
1918-.-tt 80,799
1919 89,414
1920 1 48,938
. J 1921 63,806 . . .
In ath administration of the work
3Q states now employ full-time super
viyrs forborne economics as meow
bers cf the staffs of the state boards
for ' vocational education, while six
states employ more than one full
time supervisor. The Federal Board
for Vocational Education maintains
s staff .of experts who cooperate with
the. states by conducting regional con
ferenies,.' supervising the " expendi
ture of federal funds, conducting re
search and preparing and publishing
bulletins of information: ' The prac
tical administration of the schools is

RALEIGH, Aug, 27 -Close to one
million pounds of tobacco were de.
Hvered to the ' Cooperative margets
Eastern North Carolina last week,
at their opening, according to1 latest
returns which described heavy deli
veries at Washington, New Bern,
Richlands, Kington and other big re
ceiving centers where the sign up of
Cooperative is particularly heavy.
Rejoicing, prayer and thanksgiving
featured the day in a score of mar

of the farmer to Control the market.
in? of his own product in a fair, or-
derly and profitable way, became at
last a reality, following years of
struggle and organization.
Visiting Goldsboro, Smithfield, 7e
bulon, Wendell, Baily and Fremont,
T. C. Watkins Jr.. director of ware-
hcusese for the Association and C.
B. Cheatam, assistant general mana
ger of the, leaf Department found al
most universal enthusiasm and satis
faction among the grower members,
which were confirmed by telegraphic
reports from a dozen other markets.
In celebration of the day, the doors
were thrown open to new signers
thrcuought the belt, and more than
250 new members hastened to join '
the Association. ' I
At Richlands, where , more than -
50,000 pounds .were delivered, 46 '
new members joined the Cooperative
38 came in at Kinston, where close
to 100,000 pounds of tobacco" were.
handled on the first day, 40 from
New Fern, 24 at Washington and 89

were delivered and 70,000 potm'ds
were graded, weighed and stored for
shipment. - ; . &
Three farmers enroute- to Wilson,
with tobacco- from Cumberland
County were invited to visit the Co
operative warehouse at Smithfield.
So pleased were they with the table
of advance and the system of Co-
operative sales, thst they drove their
loads of tobacco into the Association
warehouse, signed the contract and
have returned to Cumberland Coun
ty, enthusiastic members of the Asso-
i-ciation, with their first advances in
cash, their participation receipts and
the knowledge that they will receive
further payments and .the highest dol
lar for each pound of tobacco which
ehcy left the Association. ", '
Members of the Association are be
ing urged to save their fodder to de
liver at their convenience and in' an
orderly manner, and satisfaction is
being expressed on all slides by those
who do not feet obliged to rush their
tobacco to market and do not find
it necessary to drive long distances
to secure the highest price.
The cooperative markets will be
Open for deliveries on Mondays, Tues
days snd Fridays until the machinery
s sped up st s later date to meet
the increasing deliveries which are
expected as the farmers' crop lspre
pard for market.
The fact that present payments
are to be based, on a conservative
cash value was made-clear to mem

Most Parts, Hay Crop '

; ' v. - x ;
RALEIGH, Aug, 27 WEATHER:
The wather has settled considerably
in most sections of the state. The
continued rainy spell has given away
to a Cooler and .more nettled condi.
tion. .However the eastern section
o : th Piedmont and Coastal belts
reportt "continued showers" and "too
much rain." The general cool wave
over the state has jretarded the
growth of crops somewhat, especial
ly cotton and corn, which has coun
teracted their recovery from contin
ued rains of the past. In some lo
calities it has been so cool that fire
has been necessary for comfort. .
WHEAT: Wheat has been bar.
vested and threshed in most sections
of the state. This crop has shown
;, only a fair yield. Some prepara-
CORN: , Corn is improving in secJ
tioris"tof all three belts, which has
raised the condition to fair, and even
good but there has been still too
much rain in the central Piedmont
and Eastern belts which has made
the fcrop late and caused the fodder
to rot on the stalk. Some localu
ties have been unable to cultivate the
crop which has resulted in a poor
corn prospect. 1 ' "
COTTON: The boll weevil has
made advances during the last week
which has caused heavy Josses ni the
piedmont plateau and Coastal areas.
neVy shedding is reported especially
in the central Piedmont section. The
cooi weather has retarded the growth
of this crop somewhat. This, togeth
er ith .the wet weather, has made
the crope late.
HAY AND GRASSES: Hay and
grasses are generally good. Much
hay is being cut during the favorable
weather.
TOBACCO: Tobacco curing is-
over in msy sections, while in other
3
it is about 65 per cent compietea.
The tobacco of good quality is 'bring.
ing a price but much is light
in weight and poor in quality,
TRUCK:. Truck is good, with the
markets flooded in some sections of
the central and eastern areas. It is
getting late for vegetables and gar
den truck.
PASTURES: Pastures are in
good condition all over -the state.
. FRUIT: The peach and berry
crops have been good, this sesaon;
both crops having bean marketed on
a large scale. There are good pros
pects for a hesvy fall crop of apples
in the western part of the state.
LIVESTOCK: The condition of
livestock is good but there is not
much being marketed at this time.
There seems to be more interest in
th raising of cattle and hogs.
GENERAL. Fsrmers are prepar
I , nf oT WBt and oats. The
harvesting of crops is sbout complet
ed. Labor is plentiful and poor.
Efficient farm help is- high-priced.
Fertilizer was used in large quanti
ses in most sections ana nas paiu
wherever it was used. Peanuts
show a low condition.

VIOLATORS OF UVE-STOCK
LAWS MUST PAY FINES
For violation of regulatory laws
relating to live-stock and meat fines
were recently imposed in 48 cases, as
announced by the Bureau of Animal
Industry in its Service snd Regula
tory Annoucements for July. The
lists of violators includes railway ex
press companies, meat dealers snd
live-stock owners. Most of the vlo.
lators were of the quaratine law
which restricts the onterstate ship
ment of diseased, ticky, or uninspect
ed stock. Several live-stock owners
encountered the Federal law when
attempting to drive or ship tubercu
lous cattle interstate.
Violaions of the meat inspection
law included' the offering of unusual
meat, shipping uninspected meat snd
lard, and, in one case, using a wrap,
per bearing the meat-inspection le
gend for wrapping uninspected mest.
The majority of fines rsnge from $25
to $200. Although the Federsl laws
and regulations relating to live stock
are for the most part well understood
and complied with, persons unfamiL
iar with regulations and with the im
portance of preventing interstate
shipment of diseased animals snd un
sound meats may obtain copies of
regulstions by spplylng to the depart
