Henderson Daily Dispatch! offunnSbill Local Group Back From Washington Where They Attended Hearing Some modification of the Flannagaif tobacco grading bill now in Congress, to change it from its original form, is expected by the group of tobacco warehousemen and growers from this county who attended the hearings in Washington this week on the bill, which would make official Federal grading compulsory on all tobacco markets selling loose leaf on ware house floors. The hearings were held Tue’Ugny and Wednesday and were largely at tended. Much opposition to the com- feature of the measure was expressed, and it is believed there will be modifications to lessen the strin gent features of the proposal, in the event it is passed. The North Carolina legislature lias passed a joint resolution calling on North Carolina congressmen and sen ators to oppose the Flannagan bill, j and some or all of them are expect ed to vote against it, especially in its present form. Those who have discussed the bill ! here, or some of them, hold that op tional Federal grading has been in use on certain markets in all North Car olina belts for several year’s, and lliaf farmers have not though enough of it to adopt In large numbers. Indeed, it is said there is less use of it now than several years ago. There are those who have hinted an opinion that AAA officials in Washington are inclined toward a po licy that would give the government control of t.lie tobacco industry thro ughout. somewhat in the form of gov ernment monopolies in other counr tries, and somewhat in tti* fashion that liqtior is controlled in some j states. Tobacco men do not favor that proposal or that trend. There is con siderable opposition in this section to the Flannagan bill. YOUNG PEOPLE TO HEAR R. S. NANCE!

He is also j expected to tell about the Christian ! Endeavor’s 35th international conven tion to be heid in Philadelphia July 2-7. Any one expecting to attend the banquet is asked to communicate with Miss Catherine Newman not later than March 26. Mr. Nance is said to be one of the nation’s outstanding leaders of youth. His visit here is one of a series of meeting arranged for him at various points in the East by the Internation al Society of Christian Endeavor. A comment, on Mr. Nance’s work, as furnished to#ay, follows: “Energetic, resourceful. practical and dynamic. Mr. Nance has been re sponsible for a great increase in Chris tian Endeavor societies throughout the ‘Sunflower State.’ “With his slogna “Keep Kansas Dry for Kansas Youth” Mr. Nance was largely responsible for keeping the. State of Kansas in the dry column. Mr. Nance and his young people kept as far as possible away from the ol»J style of prohibition meetings. As lie was working with a group of young people, he said “This is to be a cam paign of young folks, so let’s be na tural. Let’s carry it through with the spirit of buoyant, joyous, confident youth. Let there be no scolding, but let’s sing and smile and pray it. thro ugh.” With this spirit he mad his new and unusual crusade to victory. While Mr. Nance may tell his audiences some thing about his campaign, this is not. to be a prohibition meeting. It. is to be an inspiring and helpful Chris tian Endeavor meeting.’’ CAN YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS? , See Page Four 1.

Before Buying Your FERTILIZER Remember Your Home Dealers The Ones Who Serve You The Y ear Round Don’t take chances with “Fly By Night” agents and strangers, who are here today and gone tomorrow. They are not interested in anything except your order for fertilizer. They are not interested in your welfare and future needs. In most cases you will never see them again. PATRONIZE YOUR HOME DEALERS They represent the best fertilizer manufac turers in the business and sell the brands that are known to get 1 the best results, which makes it unnecessary for any farmer to take a chance on fertilizer. Your home dealers are your friends- —they know you and you know them. They are prepared to meet any emergency and stay in business the year round to serve you. LEGG-PARHAM CO. THE COOPER CO.
