PAGE TWO Early Cotton Loss Regained New York, Aug. 26.—(AP‘— Cotton futures opened two to seven point* advance on higher Liverpool cables and an improved demand for tex tiles. After prices worked up a few points further, a little more hedge selling appeared, and December sold off from 8.39 to 8.35, leaving prices four to six points net higher late in the first hour. By midday December was 8.34, and the list was about, four points net higher. Futures closed 10 to 13 points high er; spot steady, Middling 8.46.

The fact that offerings again dried up in de clining intervals was a helpful influ ence in the day’s proceedings, and a little speculative nibbling in the final hour enabled most of the forenoon sufferers to close about the worst level of the day.

Today, however, the farmer’s products will buy only 74 per cent as many industrial goods as they would buy twenty-five years ago. So a “farm program” is standard in every poli tical platform. Seven Major Remedies. The various remedies proposed by both Democrats and Republicans over the past few years can be boiled down into the following: L Regain our foreign markets: Sec retary Hull is working hard along this line. Secretary Wallace has also just come out with a plan to subsidize the sale of our wheat abroad. But if we want foreign nations to purchase more of our farm goods, we must buy more of their industrial goods so they can pay us. Lowering of tariffs brings a terrible howl from manufacturers; while getting foreigners to buy again is easier said than done. Many na tions, who were formerly not raising cotton or wheat, are now doing it sat isfactorily. 2. Reduce farm operating costs: One way is to cut the farmers’ real estate taxes. Another is to stop the squan dering of public funds so that indus trial taxes will be lower. This also involves reducing factory wages and passing along both tax and wage Savings by lowering the price of things the farmer must buy. Such a program, however, is not popular the politicians. 3. Make farming a mode of liying: I have always felt that farming should be made a mode of living. Our farm problem became acute when people tried to turn farming into a “big bus iness.” Much of the complaint comes from those who raise only one crop, and who do not try to be self-suffi cient. Encouraging people to live on their farms, to raise their own chick ens, eggs and vegetables, and to di versify their crops is a sound, but long-range, method of attack. Propping Prices Tried Before. 4. Support prices artificially: Under Ex-President Hoover we had a farm board which squandered millions of dollars in trying to prop the price of wheat. Now we are working on a pro gram which is just the old idea dress ed ,pp in a new bib and tucker. As a result of it, the Federal government already owns 7,000,000 bales of cotton, —a full year’s supply. Furthermore’, if we support the price of cotton, we ought to support the price of beef, popcorn and eggplant. Can the Fed eral government ever be successful in pegging the price of hundreds of products raised on 7,000,000 farms? 5. Help families to move away from poor, soil: Some farm economists ask why should we spend billions of dol lars lifting prices so marginal farm ers can survive. Why not just help those families who are living on poor soil tP get off it? But where will they go? There are no jobs in the cities. Furthermore, it is easier to give these marginal farmers relief on their farms than it is to take care of them as jobless in the cities. Let Economics Take Its Course. 6. Take politics out of the farm pro blem: Many believe that the farm pro blem will begin to get better the min ute the Federal government pulls its finger out of the pie. Then those far mers who cannot make a living will be forced to get off their farms and eventually find a new livelihood. Over a period this would probably solve the problem, but it would mean a lot of human suffering. Moreover, while this natural remedy was being ap plied, it would hurt every one. We cannot have prosperity i n the g city without prosperity on the farm 7. Use farm products in industry: We cannot cut down the supply of farm products without turning every thing upside down. Instead of work ing on a theory *'f making farm pro ducts scarce, let us to increase the demand. Chemists can solve the farm problem far more quickly than our politicians. Every day new uses for farm products are being found. Now they arc making roads from cot ton; wool from milk; automobile parts from soy beans; motor fuel from corn. Over a long period of time, these and other new processes could increase the demand to equal the supply. Need for Unselfishness. Most people that I talk with have a bug <»n one of the seven plans. I feel, however that it is not a question of deciding which is the best, of the cures. There is no short-cut to remedy ing a situation that has been thirty years developing. My opinion is that the solution of the farm problem is to w<>rk along all seven lines of en deavor. Moreover, this farm problem of ours is more a spiritual problem than an economic problem. This means that all sections and all classes must be willing to make some sac rifices for the general welfare.

MOSES JONES Years and years ago, when I was a little boy, I saw a lady in the circus who was born with no arms. By long practice she had learned to take the scissors and cut out pretty birds, holding the scissors with her tees. And with her toes she also picked some kind of chords on a banjo. And also with her toes she held a pencii and gave me her autograph, which was Bonita West, and her address was some town or city in Texas. Seem ingly, it was Benton or Denton. All that was quite a novel for a boy of about ten to see, and it was very worthy of the lady to make her own .iving .in an honorable way instead of begging. But I am now going to boll you of a man who is greatly handicapped, but who did not give up, nor turn against the world in general when he lost one of his hands in a corn shred der some years ago. It made him more determined, if possible, and at a glance around his house and farm, you would more nearly think of him having four hands instead of just one. A lot of his corn had already been cut and tied up in the field. His to bacco has all been cured, ready to start stripping as soon as he gets a few other things done. His wife and children are happy, which is real, in stead of just being put on while some one is around. I don’t know how he does it but with one hand he can keep up with the best of the cutters at a cutting, and it is tcld on good authority that he has an abnormal desire for grub bing up new-grounds, at which job he is also very expert. The above statements are not som 0 - cf the usual lines of chatter put out by your Old T. Mcse, but are actual facts. It was early yesterday morn ing that Hammett Hayes Uhat’s his name) came to town to invite several folks out to his brunswick stew. He said that the sheriff and jailor would let me ride out'with them, and that Mrs. Hayes told him to be sure to tell me to come. So after dinner I shaved the dirt off my face, washed up a good bit, and put on a clean shirt. At five o’clock the crowd was ready to leave. Sheriff Davis was not able to go, so the jailor, Lee J. Yancey; the register of deeds, Carroll R. Dicker son; justice of the peace, Charlie R. Gordon and myself,’ left for the stew. We followed the highway to Sto vall, then turned out on the dirt road for eight miles more, passed the beau itful country church of Grassy Creek and there we were at the home of Hammett Hayes. G. H. Hayes, of Nelson, Va., Route 1. Hammet is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Willis Plummer Hayes. Mrs. Hayes was the former Miss Bessie Carey, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Walter Carey. Their oldest son, George, works away from home, but the rest of the chil dren live with their parents, as fol lows: Willis, Robert, Frances, Sidney. Bradsher (named for Dr. J. S. Brat cher) Mary Ann, and Walter. All of them were down at the. cur ing barns where the stew had been made and was to be served. Also there were Mr. and Mrs. Macon Cle ment and daughter, Miss Dorothy; George Johnson, F. A. Winston; Mrs. Claude Jones and daughter, Mary Elizabeth; and Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Adcock and children; Torrence, Joyce Ann, Wilma Nell, Marilyn Jean, and Eettie Marie. Needless to say, the step pot, a family-size wash-pot was soon emp tied. Everybody grabbed a box or chair or stood or bench, and took a seat —all but me. I just walked round and round. Finally Hammett told me that if I did not mind out, that my ears might flop against one of the shelter poles and knock the shelter down on ad of them, so I had to take a seat just to satisfy him. But we did not start eating, until the blessing had been asked. Jailor Lee Yancey was called on far that and he offered a blessing Which Iruly compared with the nice food we ate. He did not do like I did at Rat Breed love’s at the Reunion two years ago when he called on me, instead of the hundred or more other men present. I got so excited and scared that all I cou d say was, “Thank God for din ner.” As we left Mrs. Hayes gave me a whole quart jar of stew to take Mrs- Jones, which she was hoping for, as she had not eaten any supper. So when I got home, she ate her stew. We had a flat tire some miles out of Oxford, and had to change wheels, which they did in a hurry. We thank the Hayses for the nice stew, and Mr. Yancey for taking us. Mrs. Hayes promised to let us know at corn shucking time, which promise I truly hope she keeps. T. MOSES JONES.

Wall Street planned to meet Rose this afternoon and a victory for Wall Street would end the season and the series would start with Lions and Bankers. If Rose should win, the team would have a mathematical chance of tieing the Lions for second place. Yesterday’s victory for the Grocers was featured by heavy hitting of the winners, plus plenty of errors by the Lions. The Grocers showed they were out for meat in the initial inning, pulling a double play, and then in their own half, slamiped hits to all corners of the lot, coupling them with Lions er ros for four runs. They did the same thing in the second inning, added «ne more run in the third, but came back in the fourth with four and added one for good measure in the fifth. Bill Royster, Lions big catcher slam med a nice single into right field that got away from Cheatham and was good for a home run. In the fifth, the Lions got their other tally. Red Lewis started on the mound for the Lions but gave way to John Church. Vick pitched and Pulliam caught for the winners. HEUMB North Carolina U. Furnish ing Three; Two Are From Little Elon College Three former University of North Carolina Tar Heels are on the roster of the Washington Redskins, national pro-grid champions, according to in formation from that club, two Elon graduates are on the roster, also.
