Uj RENTON, COUNTY OF W> Citizens Of Wise To Appear Before School Commission Citizens of Wise will appear beore the State school commission ;his morning at 10:30 o'clock in an iffort to have a high school located it Wise, it was learned yesterday it the office of the superintendent >f schools. Superintendent Allen said yesterlay that he did not believe that he commission would attempt to irrange the districts in the county intil after the Wise school question vas settled, as in the event such ichool is located there, it would be lecessary to make other changes in .he county. "It sems that the State school commission," Mr. Allen said, "is vorking on the policy of making a school district around each of the accredited white high schools, in:luding all schools from whose territory and children go to the accredited high school; and they have jeen calling- on us for additional information along this line. If they allow the Wise high school, that Mould change the number of districts and they are waiting to settle all these matters at that time." "It does not seem to be likely that we can appoint committeemen before the first Monday in July but of course we can't tell definitely now," Mr. Allen added. 23 Hoboes Sent To Prison Camp By Norlina Mayor Twenty-three hoboes, picked up at'Norlina Monday night and early Tuesday morning by railroad detectives and other officials, were sent to the Warren County Prison Camp on Tuesday to begin 30-day road sentences. There were nearly 40 men lifted from the trains, but some of this number were able to pay fines and others were allowed to go their way after giving plausible excuses for riding the rails. Mayor Albert Fleming who tried the men said that the wholesale capture was made in an effort to curb the damage that the railroad company is suffering from the free riders who have been breaking into the cars and destroying stock. "Many of the hoboes who pass through here," Mayor Fleming said, "are out of work and are simply riding up and down the tracks preying upon the shipments of perishable goods. They don't mind if they are caught. As a matter of fact some of those picked up Tuesday morning begged for a 60-day sentence when I sent them to the road for 30 days." The hoboes captured were both white and colored and hailed from far and near.

C., FRIDAY, JUNE BLALOCK URGES = COOPERATION Predicts Poor Prijces Unless Reduction Plan Goes Over Successfully A LARGE CARRYOVER RALEIGH, June 22.?Urging the farmers to cooperate in the government's acreage reduction plan, U. Benton Blalock, president of the American Cotton Cooperative Association, today said that with a 13,000,000 bale carryover and good prcspects for a crop on 40,000,000 acres this year only "an optomist can look forward to anything like a lair price ior couon inis iaii unless our acreage reduction cam- 1 paign goes over as a big success." 0 Mr. Blalock termed the plan as k "probably about the best that J cculd be submitted under the authority vested in the Secretary of ~ Agriculture through the Agricultu- 1 ral Adjustment Act," and summarized the following as seven inducements offered cotton farmers to cooperate in the plan: "It offers a very fair rental for cotton lands according tc. produc- C( tivity. y "With options on cotton at six ^ cents per pound the cotton farmer can immediately close out his options for three tc. three and one- ^ half cents per pound profit. "If he so desires he may hold his options and if the production for the season is curtailed two to three t million bales and the price of cct- , ton is thereby increased, he not j(' only profits by the increase in price j on his cotton held under options but also on the balance of the crop that he produces. "The cetton farmer by disposing of a portion of his crop now elimi- * nates all crop hazards such as droughts, floods, hail storms, boll . weevil and other insect ravages. > "He saves all further expense of cultivation and the harvesting of that portion abandoned." "He 'cashes in' on a part of his crop at a time when the average cotton farmer hcSs n<tthlng to sell I : and no money in bank or pocket. \ i "The producer is allowed to plant t the abandoned acres in late corn, t ferage crops, or any other kind of t crop for home consumption and r the Southern farmer rarely ever has an overproduction of food or c feed crops." c Mr. Blalock who has spent ccn- r siderable time in Washington re- c cently conferring with those in t charge of the cotton acreage reduc- s tion division, has contended fcom the beginning that to be successful 1 any acreage reduction plan would ' have to cffer greater advantages to the producers who cooperate than to those who do not cooperate. Answering the question "What ? are the reasons for the adoption ' ] of this very drastic method for ? j cotton acreage reduction?" Mr. j IBlalock saia: (l ,1 "We are suifering from a heavy overproduction of cottcn and arej c going into the new year with the j largest carryover of American cotton ever known, approximately 13,000,000 bales, or almost a year's supply. To get this annual carry- c ever down to a normal basis of four j. or five million bales through a ' policy of 'letting nature take its course' would mean that within three or four years under the work- n jings of the unhampered law of I supply and demand this goal might * be reached, but it would mean our r continuing the production of cotton 1 under unprofitable price levels in (~ the meantime." I Horse And Stable i Destroyed By Fire * A horse, barn, stable, packhouse, v crib and feed were lost in a fire at 1 the home of Eugene Reavis on Mrs. J I Stephen Bowens place in Sandy ^ j Creek township Tuesday. A mule 1 was rescued from the flames. It is thought that the fire was " caused by a child playing around 1 the barn with matches. v . Parker To Preside } Over Vance Court HENDERSON, June 22,-Judge R.

Next week when the campaign for reducing acreage gets under way, John will attend a meeting called by his county agricultural agent or cnmn either renresentative of the Department of Agriculture. At the meeting he will find that he may get cash for plowing up part of his crop if enough other farmers do the same thing to justify going ahead with the plan. He may offer to plow up one acre three acres or four acres. Because j John has been getting more than i an average crop out of his field he will be entitled to more rent. Three acres would be about the amount that Secretary Wallace ' would like him to take1 out of production for that sized farm. | Upon acceptance of his offer by I Wallace, a contract would be pre' sented to him and he would find jthat, since his production was between 175 and 224 pounds to the acre, he would be entitled to $14 cash rent for each of the acres he I plowed under or a total of $42. Or, he might choose instead to take $10 an acre, a total of $30 for the three acres, and an option on 600 pounds of lint cotton to which his acreage and reduction would entitle him. > This 600"pounds would be equal to the amount of cotton which his ! three acres would be expected to He couia get the /opttmi without paying out any money. Titr would simply be credited with 600 . pounds of cotton at six cents a , pound. He would be entitled to any sum over six cents a pound that cotton was sold for at any time he decided it ought to be sold. There will be some regulations later telling him just how to go about that. Anyway, he would receive the cotton at six cents and it is selling in the markets today for from eight to nine cents. The cotton may be 1200 miles away but it is John's for the time he holds the option. In either case, before John gets ; the money, a representative will be . i around to see that he has plowed 1 up the three acres, i i He may plant something else on 1that Dart of his patch so long as it I . I is eaten on the farm?or he may , | let it lie idle. | He will not be permitted to spend | the money he took in to put a lot of extra fertilizer on the rest of I his patch, but must go right on .with his ordinary plans for the other seven acres, picking it and j selling it as he desires. Miss Hilliard Is Contest Winner i j Speaking on "Rural North Caro- ' 1 lina's Greatest Need," Miss Martha Hilliard of Norlina was chosen in the essay contest held in the court house here last Saturday to represent Warren county in the district | contest which is being sponsored by . the North Carolina Cotton Coop'erative Association, j Miss Bertha King, representing , the John Graham High School, was I the only opponent Miss Hilliard had | I in the county contest.
