' ' Market Started in 1890 The tobacco Industry of Roxboro began in 1890 when two warehouses were built in that year for the sale of leaf tobacco for auction. Just as theSrgeoak from little acorns Z Z the Roxboro Tobacco Market from its small years ago developed even greater and Sore rapidly than the oak crjhe progress attained by any other mar ket in this section over the same period of years. And today it recognised everywhere as one of the important and outstanding markets in the Piedmont Belt.

Why Youth Goes Wrong "The two dominant- Impulses of youth are toward activity and to ward some kind of collective asso ciation. Our failure to provide for these two impulses under the changed conditions of rural as well as city life, is at least a partial measure of wl^y we are getting un satisfactory resfilts in character development."?Dr. John Dewey, in The Rotarian Magazine. a Laboratory Farm A Reality! Prom the New York Times On the Suffolk farm of Michael I Farraday, grandson of the great | electrician, scientists have witness ed the first practical results of seventeen years' research into a new method of growing crops which may entirely revolutionize agriculture. Here, by a special process discov ered' in Germany by Dr. Paul Span enberg, of Lubeck, crops of maize and barley are grown in ten days, not in the ground, but in chemically treated trays arranged in tiers in side metal cabinets. These crops are being used daily to feed cattle and pigs on the farm, and the animals! are in better condition than others fed with ordinary outdoor fodder. Farmers at the recent Ipswich Agricultural Show were amazed at this new invention! Already a com pany has been formed to manufac ture the equipment and supply the; necessary chemical elements. Hie j name of the company is British j Cultivations. Ltd., and the process has been fully patented under the name "Kwick Grow." ^ Dr. Spangenberg made his dis- j covery by analyzing the most fertile i soil he could find and dpulicatlng j its nutrient content in a chemical solution. This solution is fed to the seed. Only small quantities of water are required and no earth is used. The seed germinated by this pro cess are said to produce five times the volume of seed planted in the ground. Each cabinet in which the seeds are placed is divided into ten. sec tions one for each day's growth, and each section contains eight trays. As each day's crop is "harvested" more seed is immediately put into the trays to produce another crop in ten days. Thus/ the farmer has fresh crop, approximating the finest June pasturage, every day in the year. Orders are being received for cab inets from farms in all parts of England, including one fanner who is a tenant of the King of Sand ringham. In Germany the govern hent has ordered them in large ouantlties to be used in concentra tion camps. With the growing of crops fpr feeding animals successfully achiev- 1 ed, investigators are now expert-1 mentlng further with growing vege tables. This process is still in the experimental stage, but the men working at it have in mind the ul timate production of smaller cabi nets which could be kept in homes ?in the kitchen, like an icebox?to supply the family with fresh green i produce all the year around 'the growing of fresh vegetables is ex pected to require somewhat more time than fodder crops. F. H. Hedinger, a naturalized American who is a director of the company, has been in communica tion with the American embassy in London and authorities in the United states, offering a demonstra tion of the process as a means of alleviating the fodder crisis caused by the drought. He expects to leave soon for America. WILL OPERATE THE WINSTEAD WAREHOUSE J. M. BREWER S. B. WTNSTEAD J. G.

FULL SET OF BUYERS ON ROXBORO MARKET A Set Of Buyers Who Have Gained A Repu tation For Fair Dealing In Their Long Years Of Experience MUCH RIVALRY WILL BE IN EVIDENCE Wheat And Prices There are about 430,000 bushels less wheat In the world markets, leaving out Russia and Chinj, than last year. The official estimates indicate that the United States will produce 491,000,000 bushels this year, and there is a carry-over of 290,000, 000 bushels. The United States Department of Agriculture says that it seems like ly that considerable quantities of wheat "may be fed in the drought stricken areas which would decrease the carry-over." A few simple deductions appear to indicate that the prices of wheat will be high. So if bread is a cent a loaf more maybe the farmer will get part of that cent. TOBACCO SALES AND PRICES UP First Official Summary Including Bright Belt Shows Great Improvement Tobacco brought more than dou ble its last year's opening price in North Carolina last month, the first report of the State-Federal Crop| Reporting Service reflecting New > Bright Belt market operations, snowed. .i In August, the report shows, pro ducers marketed 55,419,012 pounds at an average of 25.82 cents a pound, as compared with the aver age of 12.09 for the same period a year ago. Last year, however, markets were closed because of low prices paid and prices immediately mounted j upon "their reopening under a pari 'ty price agreement with buyers. Heavy Sales. | The heavy sales amounted to 15, >042,015 pounds more than the 40 ' 376,997 pounds sold in August a year I ago, the report stated. | The greatest margin of sales in crease was in the new bright belt, where Chester C. Davis, Federal Ag ricultural Adjustmnt Administrat or declared that he "saw the finest tobacco ever" on Labor Day. There! 27,457324 pounds changed hands last month in comparison with 14, 034,669 pounds in August, 1933. In the South Carolina belt the sales totaled 27,961,688 pounds, slightly more on the aggregate, but a smaller increase over the 25,922, 669 pounds sold the same month last year. - Large Increase. The price in the new bright belt was two and one-half times that of a year ago, with the average of 26.21 cents per pound last month compar ing with 10.45 cents. In the South Carolina belt, this year's average 25.47, the report stated, against 12.97 the previous year. Six more houses were open for sales this year and the report was lacking in the totals from one house in each of the two belts. This would have further boosted the totals. HAS LARGEST PRODUCTION IN FIVE YEARS Detroit, Sept. 12.?The largest August production for five years, totaling 74,437 units for all plants, is reported by the Chevrolet Motor, Company This total includes do mestic, export, and Canadian pro duction. | For the first eight months of 1934 Chevrolet production totals 692,477. J and exceeds by 66,200 the 1933 ; twelve months' total, which was passed early last month Retail sales reported by dealers , took "a decided upward turn in the last ten days of August, promising continued demand In September The reported deliveries in the Un- j lted States exceeded the domestic production. o .* Alaska Contains 2.000 miles of un paged vehicular roads suitable for'ji automobile travel. Reaoy to start the thing oft with a bang Tuesday, September 25, Is a set of buyers who have gained a re putation for their fair dealing in their years of experience on the Roxboro Market. The.se buyers are the local representatives of many of the large tobacco concerns and it "is expected that much' rivalry will be in evidence when the weed is of fered for sale on the Roxboro To bacco Market. Many Advantages. Roxboro business people cooperate splendidly with the tobacconists in promoting the market here. The town offers many advantages to those who market here. It. Js the center of several paved higliways that lead out in all directions, giv ing to all easy access to the town and market, has good roalroads that make connections with other roads for all points, and many modern stores that offer the best that Is on the market and at fair prices. Mer chants have stocked their shelves well in anticipation of the tobaccou season and stand ready to hand to the trading public the advantages of large stocks and wide selections. Great Thtogs Expected. "When the tobacco market opens" is surely a by-word here with every body. Great things are expected of the market. Great things will be accomplished. With prices in Geor_ gia and the border markets averag ing ten cents and better than the average last year, it Is reasonable to expect a similar increase here. Whatever the prcie paid, opening of the market is expected to put business on the boom. SALES TAX GAINS FAVOR Washington?Federal officials who are sifting all possible sources of new revenue to meet the $500,000,000 tax bill Congress will be called up on to enact next January are relia bly reported to be looking with In creasing favor upon the once-de feated general sales tax. "Nu'sance taxes" that now pro vide treasury income of a half llon dollars a year will expire Jan. 1, and the Administration must ask Congress to renew these and addi tional special levies, or provide for substitute income. The revenue ques tion is being studied by Treasury and House Ways and Means Com mittee experts. Roswel Magtll, Secretary Morgen thau's chief tax expert, and H. L. Parker, chief of the Ways and Means Committee staff,' have re turned from Europe, where they studied revenue systems with a view of bringing the information before the Administration James A. Emery, general counsel of thfe National Association of Man ufacturers, long an advocte of the general sales tax, pointed out In a series of widely published articles early this year that thirty countries, after centuries of experience ;in tax ation, have adopted the sales tax as the fairest, simplest, most reli able plan of collecting revenue. It Is definitely known that new Interest on Capitol Hill is' centered In the sales tax plan. Represen tative Robert L. Doughton. chair man of the Ways and Means Com mittee, who led the fight to defeat the sales tax In 1932, is reported to have relented considerably In his opposition, but still insists that he will favor that method of- raising revenue "only as a last resort" Borne of the tax experts are con vinced that the situation is reach ing the "last resort" stage. The present revenue system levies special taxes on a number of manu factured products, including gaso line, lubricating oils, electrical en ergy, automobiles and part?, and on bank checks, communications sys tems, and admisisons] These must be reneWed and additional "mri sance taxes." levied If the .sales tax Is not adopted. o Whole milk contains quantities of vitamins A and smaller amounts ME||E vitamins. mlns A and B and of other' known
