Current number of the “Tar Heel
Banker'’ (February) of which Fred
W. Greene, nephew of Mrs. H. L,
Crowell, of this City, editor is an
"Agricultural Issue” and second
leading article, “Our Economy vs.
Soil Erosion”, is by Gordon C. Hunt
er. of this City, president of the
State Bankers association, while the
leading article, “Agriculture Takes
Stock”, is by U. S. Secretary of Ag
riculture Clinton P. Anderson.
The Anderson article is based on
parts of his address given last
Ynonth in Raleigh, while Mr. Hunt
. er's article an original one present
ing the thesis that banking and ag
riculture are dependent one upon
another.
Says Mr. Hunter in'part:
“Probably no banker in North
Carolina has shown Topsoil as an
item on his inventory of assets. True,
the bank doesn’t own the soil, but
it Is just as much an asset to his
business as if it were capital stock.
Histo.’ t conclusively ' that
great nations built upon a soil
minj"g economy always fade into
insignificance when the soil has
been exhausted.
Banking is a part of our present
day civilization and a part which
would be most sensitive to any
change affecting the basic means of
living (i. e. farming).”
Pointing to soil erosion as an evil
which must be overcome if fanning,
business in general and banking are
to prosper, Mr. Hunter quotes some
figures on soil erosion in the South
and in North Carolina in particular:
“Marginal yields of crops in North
Carolina have been too much in evi
dence. Suppose we could step up our
yields through adjustments in land
use and application of simple con
servation practices by as much, or
as little, as 10 per cent. Most of this
10 per cent would be profit and in
most lines of business would be con
sidered a fine return. This is eco
nomically possible and practical; for.
in 1943, a report made by 1,469
farmers in the southeastern states
who had followed a soil conservation
plan of farming for three years
showed their average yield of corn
increased from 19.1 bushels per acre
to 27.9 bushels per acre. Cotton was
increased from 295 to 408 pounds
per acre. This is not a 10 per cent
but a 46 per cent increased yield
for corn and 38 per cent for cotton.
“A similar report by farmers in
North Carolina shows an increase
of 43.3 per cent per acre yield for
corn and 40.1 per cent increase for
cotton. An increase of 15 per cent
was shown in the yield of tobacco;
but, since this is a highly-fertilized
crop, it would not be a suitable crop
for comparison.”
o
Person Farmers
Want To Sow Beds
Tobacco plant bed time is here.
As a matter of fact it has been here
for some time but very few farmers
have been able to do anything about
it. due to rain, snow or some other
weather reason. Generally speaking
the ground has been too wet to
work in or to sow seed.
A few farmers did .manage to find
a dry spell in December and get
their plarit bed ready but not
many. Last week, with several clear
days, gave rise to some hope that it
might not be long before all*could
get their beds ready.
Generally speaking tobacco fann
ers are optimistic concerning tpbec
co for next season. They bejitvc
that the price will be high and
their largest worry now is the
situation. Many boys have returned
home from service and they will
help in a big way but they are not
enough to take up all the deck. Os

Transfers.
Tax listing will be extended
through Saturday, February 16, ac
cording to Alex Bass, list-taker for
the county, who is stationed at Per
son court house in the grad jury
room, as is Henry David Long, Sr.,
who is list-taker for the City, but
what worries the county list-taker
is the fact that there have been
approximately two hundred and fif
ty transfers of land within the
year in one twonship alone.
The change of ownership by out
right sales or by swapping, most of
it in Roxboro township, does not
bother Mr. Bass, but what does
worry him is the fact that few if
any of the transfer folks have
taken the trouble to list the lands
under their own names. This must
be done, says Mr. Bass, who adds
that the time is growing short.
It is growing short, too, for those
other delayers, the ones who have
not bought or sold land, but have
been keeping what they have. De
linquency in tax listing is regarded
as a serious breech of the obliga
tions of citizenship and neglect of
listing is frequently the subject of
comment in court circles, it is
pointed out.
o
Teachers To Be
Paitffiy State
Board Decision
Matter Os Curtailing School
Term To Be Considered
Later.
Tile State Board of Education on
Thursday adopted a resolution au
thorizing the payment of salaries to
teachers who have been unable to
teach the required number of days
because of school stoppages due to
impassable rural roads, according to
R. B. Griffin, Person Superintendent
of Schools, who returned to Roxboro
that night from Raleigh where the
session was held.
The resolution, introduced by A.
McLean Graham of Clinton, states;
“All teachers in any individaul
school who, on account of roads and
weather conditions, have been pre
vented from performing their teach
ing duties, to the extend that
the payroll date of the teachers in
such school has been delayed as
much as 10 school days, provided
such school has operated as much as
five school days, shall be issued
their regular monthly vouchers, in
anticipation that the superintend
ent of the administrative unit in
which such school is located will
require the teacher so advanced to
make up the time covered by any
portion of the salary so advanced.
“Each superintendent shall in his
own unit prescribe a plan, subject
to the approval of the controller,
by which the time lost by the
tenchers in his administrative unit
shall be made up, so that final
voucher will cover the completion
of the school term as provided by
law.”
Before adopting the resolution,
the board asked superintendents
present at the meeting whether the
schools effected have been in op
eration as many as five days since
Christmas.
Several, including Supt. J. S.
Waters of Chatham County, replied
that their schools have operated
less than five days during that pe
riod, but that most of their schools
now are in operation and that the
five days will be made up by the
time the salary vouchers are ready
for Issuance.
Heretofore, the State Board of
Education has required that a teach
er put in 20 teaching days before
being eligible to receive a monthly
paycheck. There are 4.944 teachers
who haven’t been paid for well more
than a month because of the closing
ot schools.

er had been turning out 125 tons of
crushed rock per day for the last
thirty days and that all of this had
been used on the county roads. That
runs to the figure of 3750 tons of
stone used on the roads in the
last thirty days and much more
before then. .
Some bad holes in the roads re
quired as high as 25 tons of crushed
rock before the road was passable in
that particular spot, said the road
superintendent, and there were any
number of holes that used that much
rock.
Mr. Jones also stated that he only
had seven trucks and that all of
these trucks had as much as 100,000
miles on them. Limited number of

severe handicap.
All of the road crew has been busy

Dr. E. R. Collins,
Corn Specialist,
Gives Address
Slate Specialist Discusses Pro
duction Methods Here.
| Dr. E. R. Collins, of the Extension
Service of State College, was speak
er at a meeting on corn production
which was attended by 36 farmers
of Person County Thursday, it was
'reported Saturday,
k*.Much. interest was created last
year by five demonstrations in high
yields of hybrid corn which were
! carried out by H. Roy Rogers, John
ID. Winstead, Jr„ Claude T. Hall,
Victor O. Blalock, and L. P. Sher
man .
The meeting held by Dr, Collins
was conducted to answer questions
by these farmers and all others in
l terested in high yields.
Dr. Collins made these specific
recommendations: Use good seed,
.either an adapted hybrid or certi
, fied seed of other varieties; plant
| thick in the row. not more than 16
I in. to 18 in. apart; stop cultivation
| when the corn is'2 ft. to 2 1-2 ft.
high; give the corn only Shallow
Cultivation; do not break the roots;
j use only a cultivator, and put dull
; hoes on that.
1 The judicious use of fertilizer, ac
| cording to Dr. Collins, is very im
-1 portant. At planting time, use 300
lbs. to 500 lbs. of a 6-8-6. a 4-10-6
; or a 4-12-4 fertilizer, well mixed in
the soil. It is very important to mix
the fertilizer with the soil as too
jinuch fertilizer applied in a band
j tinder the corn will injure the grain
at sprouting time, and the result
| will be a bad stand of com. For top
. dressing use nitrate of soda, am-
I inonium nitrate, or cal-nitro. Use 2
!bs of Nitrogen for each bushel of
com. Also, use 2 lbs. of Potash for
each bushel.
Those who arc interested in pro
ducing hybrid corn are very anxious
to know wrat varieties are adapted
to this section of the State. The ’ a ■
rieties recommended by the Agricul
tural Experiment Station of State
College are; Yellow; N. C. Tl, N. C.
TU. N. C. T 23, N. C, 1028, N. C. 1032,
Funk G 714, U. S. 282, Wood S2lO.
White; N. C. T2O. N. C. 1111, Tenn
10, Tenn. 15.
Anyone interested in securing hy
brid seed corn should contact his
seed dealer immediately. Last year
the supply of adapted seed was ex
hausted long before planting time.
Those who wish to check on the
various qualities of hybrid varieties,
for grain, strength of stalk, shuck
cover, etc., will find this information
at the Person Farm Agent's office.
Anyone who wishes to buy certi
fied seed, will also find there a list
of those who grow certified corn.

Chester Harris Caught In Ox

Crime. All Money Spent
Except 27c. Placed In

Apprehended Saturday was Ches
ter Harris, Negro, of the Allens- i
ville section ot Person County who !
stands charged with forging' the j
signature of Lester Burch, promi
nent white man of Allensville, to
seven checks in the amout of
$1,525.00 and obtained the money
from these checks when he pre- j
sented them to the bank for pay
ment.
Harris had worked, or had lived,
on the place of Mr. Burch and had j
seen his handwriting on many oc- !
casions and had thereby learned
to copy his signature almost per
fectly. he stated to Roxboro officers
after being caught.
Roxboro officers had been on the
hunt for Harris for some time but
due to the bad condition of the I
roads had never been able to catch
him. Checks were cashed in De
cember but Mr. Burch knew nothing
of his loss until January when he
received his checks back from the!
bank at the end of the month. Tt :
then took a little time to establish
j the idenity of the person who had
j forged the signature. The checks
j were made out to several different j
j names.
The chase carried officers in j
! many sections of the coounty and I
I generally after they had arrived at |
j a certain place they would find that
Harris had been there but had just
gone. He was finally caught in Ox
ford by Oxford police who also
wanted him on a charge but were
looking for him in particular lor
the Roxboro police who had told I
them that he visited Oxford on
frequent occasions.
Oxford officers released him to
Chief G. C. Robinson of the local
police department and to John I
Hudgins of the state highway po
lice. When caught he admitted to
the forging of the signatures and
of presenting the checks for pay
ment, He had 27 cents on him when
caught and said that he had spent
the balance. Harris was placed in
jail awaiting trial.
