MISSING A FINE
OPPORTUNITY
This good County, like every one
of the other ninety-nine in the
State,' has entirely too many ten
ant fanners, yfe doubt if there is
a county in the state with more
good, honest tenant farmers than
will be found here, but there are
r
too many of them; while they are.
good men, honest and true, hard
?working and worth while citizens,
they would be worth much more to
theirV?ommunity, and would have
a feeling about them they never
will have until they own a farm of
their own. Tenants, like renters in
town, never can have that air of
security about them until they own
their own farm and home, for they
never know when they are going to
have' to move. They may be per
fectly satisfied, but the landlord
get a. little peeved about some
-island when he says move, move
they must. Not so when they have
a deed in their possession for the
little farm, or home, which they
occupy.
And now is the time for every one
to own his own farm, or home; all
?feal estate is low, almost a drug on
the market, and If you ever intend
^to own a little farm now is your
opportunity. We know personally

FARM NEWS

The most important news we have
tor Person County, farmers this week
is in regard to the Kerr-Smith ref
erendum. There are eight meet
ings scheduled In the county for
hthis week to discuss this matter,
i as well as other subjects. The Coun
ty Agent would like for it to t>e
possible, for every grower in the
county, including all landowners
1 and all tenants, to be present at
jsome one of these meetings, in or
der that he might understand thor
oughly just exactly what he will be
asked to vote for. No vote will be
taken at these meetings. Each and
every contract signer will be noti
i fied by mail of the day selected for
the voting just as soon as the day
is decided on by the committeemen,
and a voting place in each
ship has been decided umfi^doWE

ggricultral Adjustment Ad
tratlon. acting under the pow
ers bestowed, by President Roose
velt. agreed to stand by the! faripers
who wished to sign tobacco reduc
tion contracts in an effort to re
duce production in order that the
fanners might receive a living wage
for their crop. Since the powers
j conferred on the Agricultural Ad
justment Administration did 'not
make it possible 'to control those
who did not sign contracts, and
j thus left the wav open for them to
produce enough tobacco to flood the
1 market with more than "the manu
| facturers Could take, and thereby
brine the price down to the old ruin
ous level. two"Congressmen. Messrs.
Kerr and Smith, Introduced a bill
tn Congress asking that a tax be
put on the non-signer, in order to
discourage him from raising so
much tobacco. These two Congress
men did this at the earnest insis
tence of the contract signers. How
over. the bill stated that the regu
lations contained therein should be
in force and effect for one year
only; and that if the contract sign
ers and others interested wished
this tax to tie continued for the
wear 1935. then thev must vot,e
either 'for or agamst the tax.
In submitting this <njjjgjjpn .lt Is
the desire of th? Agricultural Ad

bacco producers shall have posses
sion of all available facts to gu'de
; them in reaching a decision. The

TERRACING
We feel that the farmers are very ;
much, interested in saving their
farms by terracing, but they have
probably been-so busy stripping a?d
marketing tobacco. savlng the corn
crop and other pressing farm work
that they have not as yet signed up ?
enough acres to fhstify us in put

ing done "by a county tractor, please I
write the County Agent or come to 1
the office and state the exact num- '
ber of acres that you think you will 1
want, at a cost not to exceed *2.50 l

ers have written us, but have not 1
stated "a definite number of acres, i

LESPEDEZA
The following interesting com- j'
ments on lespedeza have been re- j.
ceived:
R. D. Bailey: "Lespedeza Is the '
best soil Improver .l ever used. My ;
pastures this year "have been fine."
George Mitchell^ "I seeded six
acres In lespedeza. Got a good stand ,
and mowed several tons of hay. Les- |
pedeza produces more hay and Is
less, expensive to grow . than any !
similar crop. For a wom-out poor j
soil I would always recommend
lespedeza."
J. I. Brooks: "I like lespedeza Very
much as a soU buUder and crop tm- j
prover. Corn that was planted after p
lespedeza stood the dry weather,:
better."
Tom Clayton- "Lespedeza is as!
good a soil Improver as I .have ever
used except old-fashioned or pink
clover. However, It go so I could
not grow pink clover, but I can
grow lespedeza on any of my land, x"
even the poorest. For a man wto
has a poor, .rundown place, I recom
mend It beyond any other spU^m- I
prover to put his land in a^more
fertile condition."
J. B. Clayton: "BesfcHandt Im
prover I have ever btfed. For sour
lands where red cjfr?er wUl not grow
