Magazine Writer Praises Charm Of Warrentoi "I personally recommend War renton, North Carolina, as a charm ing place to visit." That was the language used b Carol Dare last week in writing un der the heading of Merely t Woman's Opinion, which is an in teresting feature of Carl Goerch State Magazine each week. She describes her visit here 1 the following language: "I personally recommend War renton, North Carolina, as a charm ing place to visit- I think that oi ten times towns (like people) prov disappointing, but last week on m first trip to the county seat of War ren County, I found that it live up to every expectation I had of 1 Warrenton distinctly has an at if you know what I mean. You fef the influence of its historic setting the charm of its cultural back ground and the lure of its lovely ol homes and gardens. However, yo do not think of it as a snobby, lit tie, old town turning up its nose a newcomers, and content to live o: me mories of the past, for the warr friendliness of its people and it air of well-being make it a plac that you can enjoy to the fulles extent. "You do not want to miss th truly magnificent boxwoods aroun the home of Mr. C. E. Jackson, no a glimpse inside of Emmanuel Episcopal Church where Horac Greely was married at sunrise. Yo will enjoy the view from every sid of Mrs. Kate Pendleton Arrington' old home with its surrounding gar dens as orderly and artistic as tha lady herself. And you will want t talk to one of the grand old me; of town, Mr. Jim Gardner, who a eighty-five still goes to his offic on Main Street every day, although by his own admission it is mostl to sit and watch the wheels g around." * # * 'Thanks to the excellent wor which the North Carolina Histories Commission had done in markin the state's historic spots I had n trouble in locating the grave of An; Carter Lee, which is situated abou twelve miles from the town c Warrenton. "There is a marker on the mar highway that tells you exactly hoi to reach the grave. This gravi which was visited by General Le in 1870, is marked by a shaft c native granite and when we lear. I that this stone was cut by Geral i Crowder, a Confederate soldi? : while at home on a sick parole dur i ing the War Between the Statei . we are indignant that visitors t the grave are constantly chippin away the stone for souvenirs." * i "Referring again to my recer ! visit to Warrenton, I am of th opinion that most of us miss muc i genuine pleasure by not making a effort to visit more places of beaut i and interest in North Carolin; i There are so many of them, in a ; sections of the state, but we car . not begin to appreciate them unt we have actually seen hem wit our own eyes.

Touching upon the subject of the bumper cotton crop last year, the * county agent said that he could not see how farmers can expect to receive any reasonable price for cot" ten and tobacco if they produce a cotton crop in excess of 11,000,000 y bales and a tobacco crop in excess " of 775,000,000 pounds. ^ Mr. Bright's article follows: "We have approximately 2,600 s farms in Warren County and in 1937 2,307 of the farms were covern ed by work sheets. These farmers should receive a payment in excess - of $150,000.00 for complying with - the 1937 Conservation Program. The - lcmtumug &vo ieuiiia wcic nut tuve ered by work sheets and will not rey ceive any payments. "The 1937 program is now history d and we are looking to 1938. In 1938 t. farmers are offered a program and f. payments for complying and in adil dition to this payment each farmer is entitled to a subsidy payment of 65% of his or her cotton base cot3 ion production in 1937 provided u they comply with the 1938 program. - This subsidy payment will be 3c per t lb. or a total payment for the counn ty of $110,000.00. I do not like to n stress the payments in these pro s grams because the practices the e farmers carry out are worth much it more than the payments he receives. And this is net the only e I consolation that the farmer should d receive from co-operating. We have r on hand now over 24,000,000 bales '3 of cotton and the tobacco carry e over is 12% greater than it was a o year ago- In the face of this I can's not see how the farmer can expect s -to receive any reasonable price for - cotton or tobacco if they produce a t cotton crop in excess of 11,000,000 o bales and a tobacco crop in excess a of 775,000,000 pounds. This is the it figure we are trying to get the o farmers to adopt and unless they i! heed the warning they may expect V . to receive low prices for cotton and o tobacco in 1938. "I am glad to state that Warren County stands at or near the front k in prticipation in the Soil Conservil ation Program. I sincerely hope we 3 will continue to cary on the good o | work. a! "I am extending the 293 farmers it j who did not participate in the 1937 if I program a special invitation to j come and fill out a work sheet and n | work in the program in 1938. I v j know we have something to offer ;, you. e l "I sent out a letter a lew aays >f j ago to cotton growers requesting ii that they fill out a post card and d return to this office if they were r, i interested in having heir cotton - I seed cleaned and treated in 1938. 3, j In 1937 we were able to riiake some o j very interesting and beneficial tests g | with the treating of cotton seed.
