H. BRIGHT County Agent x am maiwug xui ocvciai three and four year crop rotations in this county. The farms that are selected for these rotations will be measured and mapped and each field designated. I do not expect to alter the plans of the farmers that cooperate this year, but will expect them to plant their crops together as much as possible. The rotations will continue indefinitely and records kept of ttie results. Farmers recognize the fact that the continuous planting of a particular crop on a certain plot of land will deplete fertilizer and cause plant diseases. The best "example of this is the Granville Wilt in tobacco. This disease causes untold loss each year and will not repond to any treatment except rotation. The tobacco farmers could have avoided this damage by rotation. I would like to have a demonstration in each township and would appreciate any interested farmers talking the situation over with me. The Federal Soil Erosion Service is interested in the soil erosion in this county and has advised that I get as much land signed up as possible for the prevention of soil erosion. There was 13,000 acres of top soil lost through soil erosion in this county last year. I have advocated terraces all the while, but T have found that unless the terracing is done in a ^scientific way the land will fare better without terraces. All land owners that are interested will please call at this office and enter their land in the petition that will be sent to soil erosion section at Greensboro, N. C. If we are able to get the Federal nivisinn interested in this project the cost will be veTy little, but if we have to do the work on a county basis the cost will be between $1.50 terraces and putting them up. This is a small cost compared to the loss through erosion. I would like to take a party to (Continued on Page 8) To Present Play Here On March 1 Students of the John Graham High School will display their histrionic ability on Friday night, March 1, when the senior play, "Girl Shy," is to be presented in the auditorium of the school at 8 o'clock.

While Nancy Ellis and Duke Miles are starring in the play, a great deal of attention is expected to be focused on Annie Hudgins, the black wash lady; Ruby Connell, a middle-age aunt; Katherine Williams, as a cleaning girl; Rachel Reid, as flirt; and Kathleen Benson, as the girl froTrS home. The | boys who will strut across the stage ! to lend entertainment to the per-! formance are: Gid Macon, the col- j l lege shiek; John Rhem, the college Ipoet; Jim Frazier, dean of the college; George Floyd, dignified father; and Vernon Dickerson, as Katherine Williams' late affinity. The play is being coached by Miss Elba McGowan, member of the. John Graham High School faculty. There will be a small admission charge. Banished Negro Prefers Prison Camp Graham Wimbush, negro, said by lis actions that he had rather serve time on the Warren county roads than to leave Warrenton. The negro, who, according to reports, is frequently in the tolls of the law on account of booze, was told by Mayor Polk that he could either stay out of town or serve a 30 day sentence in the Warren County Prison Camp as the result of being convicted of a misdemeanor. Wimbush, it was said, left town for a day or so, but on Monday evening he was at the gates of the prison camp begging for admittance. He was admitted by Superintendent Aycock following 5" conversation with Mayor Polk, it was reported. / WISE TEAM WINS The Wise basketball team deAff^n.-RTiheron's quintet in a ICUtCU AAUV/aa _ match played at Wise on Tuesday afternoon by the score of 11 to 2.

A check-up here yesterday revealed that there were six slot machines in use at Warrenton, and it was estimated by Sheriff Pinnell : that there were around 50 in the h county. Others estimate the number of machines in the county to be between 20 and 30. The anti-slot machine bill, which had already been approved by the Senate, was passed by the House on Wednesday. The bill makes the use, manufacture or possession of the machines illegal. SON BORN Born to Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Mustian on February 20, a 9 3-4 pound SOIl.

I THROUGH CAPI' By BESS HIN AUTO TAGS?It's now recognized as a foregone conclusion that automobile license tags are going to be cheaper when you decorate the mahogany of the State Revenue Department next January. The Joint roads committed of House and Senate have already agreed upon reducing the rate per hundredweight from 55 cents to 40 cents with a minimum tag costing $9 in- | stead of $12.50. By the time you read this the bill may have become law by passage through the General Assembly. LOW DOWN?News is seeping down from Washington that the AAA is not so hot for legislation controlling the production 01 potatoes. Tar Heels and other representatives of potato-producing States put the bee on the AAA boys but it now appears that Secretary Wal-1 lace's crowd put one over on the potato men. They drafted a bill that bids fair to classify many potato farmers as criminals if they violate technical provisions of the act. Congressman Lindsay Warren has promised to look after North; Carolina potato men with the: proper amendments before the bill becomes law.

Senator Allsbrook is considering introducing proper legislation to carry out his idea. KNOWS SCHOOLS?Legislators are generally agreed that Senator Lloyd Griffin of Chowan knows his schools. Senator Griffin was chairman of the Senate education committee that drafted the first eight months school machinery law in 1933 and heads the same committee this session. The manner in which he answers questions regarding the State-supported schools is a marvel to many interested law-makers.

Sheiff Pinnell said that when the men were arrested on Monday three pieces of the meat and the flour ,were found in their possession and that the meat was identified by the owner. Bond was furnished by Edwards but the other two men were lodged , in jail here to face trial at the May | term of Superior court.

J J ft Jij ,r III wal UF THE NEWS i ALL THE TIME -:||| ill = NUMBER 8 PRESIDENTSIGNS SEED LOAN BILL 21 $60,000,000 To Be Made Available To Finance This Year's Crop A $20,000,000 INCREASE The President on Wednesday signed the seed loan bill which means that farmers in Warren county and the country as a whole will be loaned money at a nominal rate of interest to finance their 1935 crops. The bill, which has been awaiting the signature of Mr. Roosevelt since it was passed several days ago by the House and Senate, allows $60,000,000 for seed loans?a $20,000000 increase over last year's appropriation. Hundreds of farmers in Warren county took advantage of the loan last year to produce their crops, and in view of the fact that the sum for this purpose has been enlarged, it is presumed that there will be as much of t'he government's money in the county this year as last, if not more. J. C. Howard, who had charge of the loans last year, said yesterday that he did not know when he would be authorized to accept applications for loans, but he expressed the opinion that iiis work along this line would be commenced in a week or ten days. Last year farmers of Warren borrowed little better than $100,000 of the seed loan fund. Practically all this money was collected in the fall and turned over to the government, Mr. Howard saTQ. This county and state, he said, made a fine showing but out in the droughtstricken sections collections were ru~u~?r PRESIDENT SIGNS BILL PROVIDING SEED LOANS Washington, Feb. 20. ? The drought last summer afforded the President today an opportunity 10 compromise on the $60,000,000 seed loan bill, but in signing the measure, he asked that the funds be taken from the $4,880,000,000 relief measure. Mr. Roosevelt signed a seed loan bill last year and expressed the hope it would be the last. C5Hgress, however, sent another to the White House this session and there was peculation that the President might veto it. He had said that expenditures outside the budget should be paid through new taxes. In aDorovine the bill, the Chief Executive made public a letter to Speaker Byrns in which he suggested that since the funds were primarily for drought relief, they "should therefore be defrayed from the general appropriation for relief purposes." This, he added, would "not 'have the effect of increasing the budget estimate of expenditures." The President's suggestion coincided with action last May when a fund of $50,000,000 for seed and feed loans was included in the $525,000,000 appropriation for relief in drought-striken areas. This was in addition, however, to an earlier measure.

Quite a number of former participants have indicated their intentions of being present again this year to have part in this evening of various kinds of music and other entertainment, he said. In addition to the cash pri;;es offered in the music contests, there will be much interest in the drawing for prizes on the part of the audience.
