Progress Reported lit Tobacco Campaign Proof that tobacco acreage re duction contracts are worth money to groweu Is seen In the fact that the North Carolina Joint Stock Land Bank has obtained 1,500 contracts to cover farms under Its control, according to Dean I. O. Schaub, di rector of agricultural extension at State College. When asking for the contracts, bank officials signified their inten tion of signing up all their tobacco land as soon as possible. The soon er contracts are signed, the sooner will equalization, rental, and bene fit payments be available, the Dean pointed out. Hie AAA tobacco production pro gram is designed to not only pro vide for higher tobacco prices in the future, he said, but also to compensate the growers for cur tailing their production now. During the two weeks the sign-up has been under way, farm agents and committeemen in the 57 flue cured tobacco counties have held county and community meetings to explain the contracts to the gorwers. Then following the field work of interviewing individual grow e r s, ascertaining how much tobacco they have produced during the last three years, and getting their signatures on contracts. , Dean Schaub explained that be fore the reduction program has cut down the surplus leaf and brought prices to a higher level, the AAA has arranged to help the contract sign ers by giving them equalization payments of 20 percent of the value of the weed they sold before the marketing holiday, and 10 per cent on that sold after the holiday belt markets. The rental payments will be $17.50 an acre for the land taken out of production, and the benefit payments next year will be 12 1-2 percent of the 1934 crop's market value.

A Crossnore Appeal We have been distressed to learn that rumors have been about that Cross no re School is now under State control and no longer needs the help so long and so generously contributed by friends. We wish to refute this emphatically and at the same time explain exactly the status of Crossnore School. This isolated and sparsely settled section of the mountains could not furnish enough children In any one locality to make possible a standard high school supported by the state. But they must have a high school. So in 1917, Crossnore School, Inc. was organized for the purpose of. supplementing the little One teacher public school then at Crossnore. One at a time, teachers were added as the number of grades increased. Many children wanted to come who lived where busses could not travel c0 a boarding department was ne cessary. This boarding department is what is now represented by Orossnor School. Inc. The Public School, now called Altamont Con-, solidated High School, is entirely State supported except for the Bbie teachers supplied by Crossnore School. Inc. The boarding depart ment, Crossnore School, Inc., is en tirely supported by voluntary gifts, from its friends, and failing these, it must close Its doors to almost a . hundred orphans, and a ?iro,lar number of under-privileged children who And here a home both during the school term, and if necessary, all year round. < Our biggest source of income is from the sale of old clothes and second hand articles in our sales room But our stock is very low, and we are in desperate need of supplies. Work and money are coming to our country, through NRA. Won't you send us all kinds, of old clothes to sell to the people and to bring us money to support our boarding department?

Executives of railroad labor unions decided today on three points of a legislative pro gram they will ask congress to pass at the next session. The unions will ask congress t6 limit the raiiroad working day to six hours, maintaining the same weekly"" and monthly basic pay schedule. They will ask that laws be pass ed limiting the number of freight cars in a train to 70 and in a pass enger train to 14. They will ask that the hours of service in every 24 dispatchers be limited to six, for trainmen to 12 and for telegraph operators to nine. Explains Mea?tnre A. P. Whitney, chairman of the union executives and president of the Brotherhood of Railway Train men, explained that the measures, while they will increase employment to a certain extent, are principally designed to increase safety to the public and employed. The proposal to limit by law the number of freight cars in based on the fact, he said, that pneumatic train brakes do not work uniformly at the head and rear of longer trains causing many accidents to employes on the rear of trains. Moreover, he said, the visibility of a man extends not* much more than a half mile for the detection of sig nals and 70 cars makes a half mile long. o i BROOKS-SNIPES The following announcement will be read with interest by their many friends throughout the state: Mr. and Mrs. N.

Farmers In Better Position Sena. tor Bal'ey Says Devaluation of Currency Has Helped Thgn Washington, Dec. 21.? Senator Bailey said today he believed the farmers In North Carolina were in a "relatively better position than any other in America at present." Senator Bailey attributed this to what he termed the "devaluation of our currency" and its relation to the two large export crops, tobacco and cotton, grown in his State. "The Japanese, British and oth ers," he said, "are able to buy 40 per cent more of our money with the same amount of theirs than last year. Therefore, while not paying more in their money, they are pay ing 40 per cent more in ours. "It appears the State's agricul tural income will be doubled this year over last. It was about $93,000, 000 last year and probably will be fully $180,000,000 this years. "Tbe farmers have produced 700 000 bales of cotton this year and 40 per cent more tobacco. They are getting 50 per cent more for cotton and from 40 to 50 per cent more for tobacco so we not only have in creased prices but increased volume of crops." In an effort to add to this farm income. Senator Bailev conferred with Farm Administration author ities rn higher peanut prices. He sought also commodity credit loans cn peanuts. The Commodity Credit Coroora ? tlcn has worked out a tentative scale of loans on peanuts with a maximum of $50 a ton but sup porters of the plan hope to have ? the maximum increased. o ?
