( Central Press) North Carolina Farmers Form Cooperative Croup Washington, March 6.—lnitial steps in the formation of a Statewide far mer cooperative for marketing and purchasing have been taken by the farmers of North Carolina. Studies of the cooperative field in North Car olina were made available o the lead ers of the movement bv the Coop erative Division of the Farm Credit Administration. The new cooperative -the North Carolina Farmers Asso ciation, Inc.—is to be farmer-owned and controlled. Organized on a Statewide basis, the new organization will handle the com bined businesses of three large coop erative purchasing and marketing as sociations that have been operating in North Carolina duiing the past sev eral years. It will operate as a whole sale marketing and purchasing agency for local cooperatives. The North Carolina Farmers Asso ciation will purchase from members and other producers and producer or ganizations feeds, seeds, fertilizer, and other farm supplies and equipment. As the necessity arises, it will also operate processing and manufactur ing facilities. It is designed also to provide opertlng capital to local units and supervise their management. The new association will affiliate with the Southern States Cooperative for the purchase of supplies and with the National Fruit and Vegetable Ex change for the marketing of its fruits and vegetables. An affiliation with the Eastern Livestock Association will provide an outlet to the big markets for the state’s livestock. It is planned also to affiliate with the United Wool Growers’ Association and to expand the program of cooperative wool mar keting in North Carolina. Poultry and eggs, too, will be handled by the new association. These and other services that may be added are to be conducted through departments or subsidiaries such as marketing, purchasing, and finance and management,. The purchasing operations of the new organization will be on a large scale, and it is expected to work n big saving for the farmers of North Carolina. North Carolina is the lead ing user of commercial fertilizer in the United States 1,107,763 tons in 1929 and 950,000 tons in 1931. The value of commericai fertilizer pur chased by farmers in North Carolina in 1929 totalled $3-1,686,830. This was the largest amount spent in any state and amounted to about one-seventh of the total for the whole United States. The handling' of this enormous HENDERSON, (N. C.)' DAILY DISPATCH, TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1934 ’ Brr ' T ß' amount of fertilized alone opens a wide field for activity for a state-wide purchasing association. North Carolina farmers also pur chased large quantities of feeds, e»- pecialiy dairy and poultry feeds. In 1929, according to the Census, they spent $11,115,703 for feed supplies. Sponsors of the North Carolina Co operative claim that it will eliminate tiie troubles resulting from competi tion between “over-head” groups. Lo cal cooperative units will be linked together, and the total volume of co operative business in the state wilt be handled collectively. It. is expected to unify the efforts of agricultural leaders to better farming and streng then the field and education work per taining to cooperative marketing and purchasing. Master Printers To Discuss Code (Continued rrom ”rage One.) ei s Association was designated as the medium for the enforcement of the new code in this state at a meeting of the fourth zone code federation in Richmond, Va., last week. Hence It is regarded as very important for as many as possible of the printers of the State to attend this meeting, accord ing to master printers here. The meet ing was called by President A. G. Gordon, of Winston-Salem. According to George A. Moore, here chairman of the committee on arrange meats, one of the largest gatherings of printers ever held in the State Is expected at this meeting, because of its great importance to all of them. In addition to hearing and discuss ing the State and zone requirements, the rules and regulations which will govern the operation of the code in North Carolina, will also be drawn up and adopted at this meeting. As a re sult, every printing plant in the State should be represented, since when these rules and regulations are once adopted and put into effect, they can not be changed and all the plants in tiie State must be governed by them. All printing plants in the State operat ing under the N. E. A. (National Edi torial Association) code area also asked to be present. Following this meeting, and during the week of March 12, all of the re gional divisions of the State must hold group meetings of master printers and adopt by-laws to conform to the State set-up. These meetings will be called by ilia regional chairman.. y [ 1 . : • 1 l . * * * .‘ Disadvantages In U. S. School Fund (Continued rrom r*age one.) When questioned by committee mem bers, however, Dr. Allen agreed that tiie present State revenue bill, design ed to yield only about $25,000,000 a year, and of which $17,000,000 goes for the public schools, would yield from $35,000,000 to $40,000,000 a year and that the State probably would not need any Federal aid. At first glance, those here favoring more money for schools, regardless of the source, were inclined to agree with Dr. Allen, especially if there was a chance to get $4,000,000 a year this year and next, from the Federal gov ernment with which to supplement the State’s $17,000,000. But when they go:, up as far as the next legislature: they started to wonder if the legislature would continue to appropriate as much for the schools as it has been doing if it knew the government was going to give the State from $4,000,- 000 to $5,0000,000 a year to go to the schools. They also started wander ing if the government would give the State a free hand in spending this money, or whether it would insist up on government supervision, based up on a governmental study of the State's scool needs. It is recalled how the counties at first objected so bitterly to State control of the schools, even though the counties and county su perintendents wanted the State to sup ply most of the money. What the school forces want, of course, is for the government to dump $4,000,000 a year in their lap and say, “Go ahead and spend this money any way you want to. We know that you are interested in education and the welfare of the children and that every •dollar will he spent wisely a.nd hon estly.” But is that what the government has done with the CWA, PWiA or any of the other money it has spent? It ha~s not. It has carefully supervised the expenditure of every penny of it. front Washington. Not a foot of new high way can be built until the plans, spe- cifications, cost and many other de tails have been checked and approved in Washington at least three times, regardless of what the State Highway Commission has thought about it. The Civil Works Administration has been and still is subject to control from Washington and all orders and allot ments issued from there, despite the fact that the State director probably has a much better understanding of the needs within the State than the officials in Washington. Would it not be likely, then, that a bureau in Washington and a Federal auditor from that bureau, would tell the General Assembly how much to appropriate for schools in North,Caro lina and dictate how they should be operated? Would not this bureau or commission say, “The school needs of North Carolina are so much, of which the Federal government will provide so much and the State so much,” so that in the end the school people would not get so much more money to spend after all? Would it not also shut the door for good on the pos sibilities of getting "local supplemen tary property taxes for schools,” the thing so near and dear to the hearts of city and county superintendents? Would not the taxpayers say “If the Federal government is helping sup port the schools why should we vote any more taxes for them?” And they probably would not vote any more taxes for them, since they have just about stopped doing that already, un der State support and supervision. As a result of these questions and problems an increasing number of school people are coming to the be lief that they would have nothing to win and a lot to lose if the Federal government should participate in the support of the State’s schools, State supervision has been all they could stand—they are afraid Federal super vision might be worse. 95 Percent of Flue-Cured Farms Have Been Signed Up (Continued troin Fane one.) made that will bring the contract fig ures into line with official figures. Every effort is being made to have individual producers adjust their fig ures and thereby obviate the need for applying a. pro-rata cut to all con tract. claims. Applications for price-equalizing pay ments, which are provided at the rate of 20 per cent of the net. sales value of the 1933 tobacco sold before Sep tember 25, and 10 per cent of the, net sale value of such tobacco sola after September 25 and before the marked advance in price have been made by practically all of the con tracting farmers in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, border counties of North Carolina, and by a large num ber in the new and middle belt of North Carolina. Tiie price-equalizing payments are to 'bn made to compensate, insofar as possible, those producers who sold their tobacco before improvement in prices resulted from the sign-up of contracts and the flue-cured market MOVIE Jill William S.

These payments of ao nroxirnately $4 300.000 will be divided between States, as follows: Florida, $70,000 to 800 nrolucers; Georgia, $1,030,000 to 10,000 producers; South Carolina. $1,165,000 to 12,000 producers; and North Carolina, $2,- 010,000 to between 30,000 and 40,000 producers. Producers’ claims regarding sa 1 upon which the price-equalizing pay ments will be made, are substantiated by evidence prepared from warehouse records under the direction of the tobacco section. This work is prac tically completed, and applications for payments will be reviewed with the Corresponding production adjustment contract. Checks for these payments are expected to accompany the rental payments. WynekoGp Defense In Last Argument (Continued from One.) ting chloroforming and shooting her son’s wife. The published story told how Dr. Wynekoop, weak and exhausted after hours of questioning, had signed the confession after Dr. Hoffman, one of her questioners, had asked her what she would say if told that her son Earle (Rheta’s husband) had confes sed. The defense contends that the state ment, later repudiated, was a bewild ered old woman’s attempt to save a favorite son.

They could then appeal to the United States Su preme Court, of course, as the Luke Leas did, and further postpone their entry into prison. All of this legal jockying costs money, of course, But some seem to think that these four men are appar ently determined to use up the $30,000 which they conditionally agreed to re turn to Transylvania county if they had succeeded in getting paroles be fore they started serving their sen tences in trying to evade these sen tences entirely, since Governor Eh ringhaus refused even to consider pa roling them under the prevailing cir cumstances. If they had made full re stitution of the $30,000 to the county without, any strings to it and then started serving their sentences with out first seeking any paroles, the pro bably would have been paroled with in a few months or at least, before be fore the expiration of their terms. But it, is maintained here that Gov ernor Ehringhaus could not have act ed other than he did in refusing to parole the men before they even start ed serving their sentences of from two to three years, when he found that, instead of returning the $30,000 to the county as they had made it ap pear they had done, they had merely placed it. in escrow so that if they did not get, their paroles the county would not get the money. As a result of this arrangement, they were placed in the position of virtually trying to bargain for paroles for $30,000 many of those familiar with the case maintain. Incidentally, they were convicted of conspiracy in the issuance of SIOO,OOO worth of Transylvania county bonds which were placed in the Brevard bank ap parently to keep it from failing. But the bank failed any way, and the SIOO,OOO proceeds from the sale of the bonds were lost. But Judge Nat Town rend, who sentenced them, said at that tme. that if they would make restitu tion to the county of $30,000, which is about what the SIOO,OOO worth of bonds arc* worth at their presen: value, that he would recommend pa role. But he dd not promise them a parole cr tell them that he would sec that they got a parole—since pa roles are issued only by the governor and rot by judges. The prevailing impression here Is that these four Brevard men are dis tinctly injuring their cases by seeking to delay the start of their sentences by the methods they are employing, that eventually they will have to go to prison any way and that now they will have virtually no chance of get ting paroled. This will mean that they will probably have to serve out. their entire term of two to three years. Gov ernor Ehringhaus did grant them an extension of 30 days to permit them to arrange their affairs at home, al though there was no reason for grant ing this stay, which expired February 14. Since that date they have delayeu their sentence into the prtson by their habeas corpus proceedings on whi ci , Judge Finley did not hand down decision until yesterday.
