A copy of her letter follows: If you want your county to fully participate in the federal benefits now coming under the social security act it will be necessary for you to make provision in your welfare budget for an adequate qualified staff. The staff which has been made available through federal grant during the past six months is necessary for a Standard Department and thereby makes your county eligible for the following benefits: 1. Surplus Commodities? eligibility for which must be established by trained certifying case worker, (a) Even in small counties where the case lead is approximately one hundred seventy five, more than $2,000.00 per month has . been distributed in surplus com- . modities (food) and WPA colth- ( ing. 2.

McCOLL, Assistant County Agent To date the Warren County Soi Conservation Committee has super vised t*he completion of terraces or 765 acres, at an average cost o $1.45 per acre. Due to inclemen weather during the winter am spring the unit did not do near it; capacity of work, and at presen tho work is slacking off for t*h< summer. The farmers have plant ed their crops and this makes it im possible fcr the unit to do a goo< job of terracing. At present we are asking that al farmers interested in having worl done during the summer month send their requests to the assistan county agent just as soon as the; can. It will be more satisfactory t< all concerned if the unit can con tinue its work during the summer. We urge you to let us hear o any work that can be done befor the fall rush comes on as we ex pect to have enough work for tw units after the first of October. atrra OF WARREN, N. C.

H. BRIGHT, County Agent The terracing unit is still operat ing in the Ridgeway Communit; - and we plan to operate all summe 2 if we are able to secure sufficien 5 work to justify operating the uni< r Under the soil conservation pro r gram each farm will qualify for i 3 payment, but the producer mus - earn the payment. For example i 3 farmer may have sowed broadcas 1 or planted in rows 15 acres of co\ 1 peas this would qualify this farn for a payment of $15.00, but sup i pose the farmer cut the peas fo . feed then he could not collect fch r $15.00 because he did not plow th . peas in, but he could collect th i $15.00 for terracing. This is th t point I wish to make; this lam owner may 'have terracing don 3 and receive payment of .40c pe 3 hundred feet or as much as $2.0 v per acre until the $15.00 is ex c hausted. 5 Farmers that have not filled ii j work sheets should do so at one j and qualify for their payment under the soil conservation prog e ram. My understanding is that th l final date for filing work sheets i .j' June 20. Land owners or tenants interest ed in the terracing program or soi conservation program should noti fy this office at once if they plan t I have terracing done or have no filled out a work sheet. i Miss Mary Hunter Buried On Saturda] f i Funeral services for Miss Mar tjHolton Hunter of Portsmouth, Va II were held here at 3 o'clock Satur s day afternoon from Emmanue t!

S. WYNN, 11 Negro Farm Agent Seventy five of the one hundred ^ farmers who entered the wheat r growing contest last fall toured the b county with me last Friday to see s the outstanding wheat demonstrations. In spite of the unusually dry I g spell this year, the farmers of War ren county who followed improved practices have abundant wheat crops. The following men have out- F standing crops of wheat and it may v 0 ' be well for those of you who live ^ fc near any of these wheat growers to visit them and find out how they F did, what some of the farmers on s the tour were heaTd to say: C. 3. 11 , Evens of Wise; John Edwards of c ' Manson; Jake Jordan of Rldgeway; v W. E. Summerville of Coley Spring; ^ y Rev. N. A. Cheek of Hecks Grove; Rev. Shepard Sprulll of Grove h " Hill; Eddie Williams of Rising F Sun and Ottaway Alston of Rising F r Sun community. h The tour covered over 170 miles S ' and ended near tile river where 120 F farm women and men were anxiously waiting to serve the party with ] [' 75 pounds of fried fish, a barrel of ' lemonade, cake and ice cream. This was a high day with the negro wheat growers of Warren county and next year is destined to E r overshadow the work of this year. A t The business men of Warrenton 1< - [ contributed loyally to this' cause c e for which we thank them. d e a ;. Miss Mary Buel Green of Sails- p - burg was a guest of Mrs. Elizabeth c 3.' B.

The s allots cast for Sandy Graham t lumbered 125.078. while 6.736 voters * xpressed their preference for John l. McRae.

MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 24 HEAVY VOTE IS CAST SATURDAY Wore Than 3300 Voters Express Preference In Democratic Primary rO HAVE 2ND PRIMARY Warren county's all Democratic >rimary moved in orderly manner ill last Saturday when more than 1,300 voters registered their will In he fourteen voting precincts of he county, nominating T. H. Ay:ock for the House of Representsl v m Ives, w. o. ruuicn iui oiiciui, *. D. Rodwell for Judge of Recorder's :ourt, Jasper W. Shearln for Coroler, and giving Congressman John 3. Kerr the biggest vote he has :ver received in this county and roseph C. Powell a substantial lead >ver Vernon C. Browne in the our-cornered race for Register of Deeds. A second primary will be called to letermine who shall be the fifth nember of the Board of County Commissioners, there being a tie vte between John Clay Powell and Coley Perkinson, and it is expected hat there will be a run-off at this ime between Browne and Powell or Register of Deeds. Other canUdates given a majority in Saturlay's primary were W. H. Buroughs, who lead the ticket, R. L. Capps, second high man, H. L. Vail and S. D. King. The tie between Powell and Per:inson is unprecented in the voting listory of Warren county and Is telieved to be a new occurance In he state. The attorney general was :alled for a ruling on the matter vhen the official returns, canvased here on Monday, showed that :ach of the candidates had revived 1795 votes, and as a result if the conversations with Mr. search's office it was decided that the wo gentlemen should offer their _ lames to the electorate in a second jrimary. It has been suggested that Mr. 3erkinson and Mr. Powell toss a oin to see who would occupy a lerth on the board but It has been ?ointed out that this method would lot legally elect the lucky man and hat some serious situation might rise in regard to the board slgnng notes and papers when one nember of the county's governing ?ody was not duly elected but won iy a gamble. The race between Mr. Powell ind Mr. Perklnson is expected to levelop into one of the hottest ampaigns that has taken place in Varren county in several years, rhose with their ears to the ground lear political rumblings that do lot so much involve the two canlidates and their qualifications as hey do other issues over which the ligh man will have some authority ..Unn rroto r\n fVlO h/ICHvl Thfl VliCU lie 5 V.

One of the biggest surprises of ast Saturday's primary was the arge vote given Sandy Graham for Sovernor in comparison with the iuge majority that had been prelicted for McDonald and the claims rom the Hoey supporters that the Shelby attorney would be second ligh man. Graham drew more han twice as many votes as Hoey md fell short of McDonald's lead ty less than 400 votes. Forty-four lallots were cast for McRae, 540 or Hoey, 1178 for Graham and 553 for McDonald. Congressman Kerr carried every irecinct in Warren by a large maority, despite claims that he would ose out at Norlina, and carried eviry county but one in his district, ailing behind his opponent in Dickens' home county of Wilson, le received his majority of around ,300 votes, which was larger than wo years ago when he was oppoe d by Mr. Dickens, as follows: Varren 1786. Halifax 278, Northmpton 1198, Bertie 916, Edgeombe 1178. Green 467, and Lenoir 97. Mr. Dickens received In Wilon county a majority of 1135. Two ears ago the Wilson attorney caried Halifax, the county of his lirth, and Greene county by small aajorities. The vote in all precincts was arge but Warrenton stepped along o the front with a record breaking ote of nearly 800, and it was neary 5 o'clock before election officials inished their day's work which tarted for the pollholders around (Continued on page 8)
