Mr. J. B. Snipes, Assistant Farm
Agent, has been in the county thirty
days. Mr. Snipes, of Bynum, Chatham
County, arrived in Person County on
October 8th as assistant farm agent,
to have charge eventually of the Per
son County Terracing Unit and Soil
Erosion Work among Person County
farmers.
Mr. Snipes is a graduate of North
Carolina State College, B. S. degree,
and majored in horticulture. Since
graduation he has been Inspector for
the United States Department of Ag
riculture in fruits and vegetables at
Bayboro. For the past five years he
has been located at E. C. T. S., of
Rocky Mount, N. C., as Livestock and
Truck Supervisor.
The Farm Agent Is sure that the
farmers will be especially pleased to
have Mr. Snipes In our midst to as
sist the Farm Agent with the various
and sundry problems arising in the
county and to assist with terracing
work.
The people of the couuty are to be
congratulated upon securing the ser
vices of Mr. Snipes. During the winter
months and when it is too wet to
work in the fields with the terracing
unit, Mr. Snipes will be glad to con
fer with farmers regarding farm
problems, especially along lines of
livestock and truck problems.
Mr. Snipes 'has been here .thirty
days and has shown himself to be
efficient and willing to do every thing
in his power to help further the cause
of the Extension Service and other
problems relating to farming. He will
be glad to have you call on him at
any time he can render you service.
Tractor-Terracing News
The terracing unit has run 342 hrs.
and built 315 terrace lines on 26 dif
ferent farms, with a total length of
199.896 ft., or 37.85 ml., from Sept. 12
to Nov. 12; built 17,010 ft. o* private
ro&dfc, levelled one yard for beautifica
tion, opened 1480 ft. of ditches, and
built 252 dams and fills on the 315
terrace lines and pulled 56 stumps
from the water channels.
The farmers who have had this work
done report that they are well pleased,
some stating that they would not take
from two to ten times the cost of the
work done and be without it.
All farmers who have had work
done with the tractor in building ter
races should see that the outlets are
opened into the woods or gullies, or
wherever the outlets are, In order that
they may not break over; also watch
weak places In terrace lines and add
additional dirt with shovels or scrapes
before the terraces break. All those
who are having terracing built should
join the Soil Erosion Association by
signing papers in the office of the
Farm Agent.
Those who live on the west side 01
the Norfolk & Western Railway
should write W. H. Thompson, Camp
Technician, Yanceyville, N. C., re
garding the CCC boys building the
outlets; while those on the east side
of the Norfolk St Western should
write Mr. H. W. Herring, Camp Tech
nician, Oxford, N. C. to visit your
farm for consultation regarding CCC
work on your particular farm.
Meat Curing
Meat curing time is here again or
soon will be. Many farmers in Geor
gia, Alabama and Mississippi are able
to kill their hogs in November or
early In December, because the ice
plants are able to chill the meat, cure
it and produce sugar-cured hams and
bacon regardless of the temperature
and the weather.
Since the adjustment program lim
its our tobacco production our farm
ers ha\? time for other lines of en
deavor. There is an opportunity for
farmers in this section to produce
excellent sugar -cured hams and ba
con if there is sufficient demand made
on the local ice plant to put in a
curing room. The cost is small, and
pork can be cured any time of the
year regardless of the weather. First
class hams and bacon can be cured
and this will enable farmers to have
a side-line if they are interested in
this project.
If you are interested in having the
local ice plant take up the matter of
curing hams and bacon for the farm
ers in this county, you are asked to
confer with Mr. Wallace W. Woods,
local Manager of the City Ice plant.
Tobacco Allotment Cards
The entire 95 5-8 per cent of the
pounds allotted for your farm are on
your card. There will be no adjustment
payments for contracts when all of
the pounds on the card are sold. If

DEBUTANTES WILL STAGE
COSTLY SHOW THIS YEAR
New York, Nov. 17? Debutantes of
the world's largest city will spend
about $2,000,000 this sason to enter
society and to remind eligible bach
elors they are ready for marriage.
A Manhattan socialite said tonight
that the families of 200 debutantes
will each spend approximately $10,000
on their daughters' parties to earn
for them a place among the city's
elite.
"In the past three years some of
our wealthiest families have cut down
on 'social' expenditures," the infor
mant said. "This year, however, they
are willing to spend money again."
So powerful is her unique position
in New York society that this woman
who helps the debs blossom can vir
which was mailed to you last spring, i
you will find a statement of 85 per
cent of your pounds and also the 95 j
5-8 per cent of your pounds. If only
85 per cent of your base pounds are
sold, the adjustment payments will
be 6 1-4 per cent for those who did
not take an increase in pounds nor \
acres. There will be no adjustment <
payments due on contracts which
took any increase in either acres or
pounds or both.
Contract signers cannot sell 85 per
cent of their base pounds and then
buy extra pounds. They must use all
pounds on their own cards before)
buying pounds from others.
Scrap tobacco is not to be sold to
anyone UNLESS IT IS ENTERED
ON THE ALLOTMENT CARDS. The
Internal Revenue Department is
watching this most closely this year.
Our latest information is that the
warehouses have no way in which to
take care of extra pounds. The only
provision made for extra pounds, if
you desire to buy same, is through
the County Agent's office.

In Memory Of
Theodore Q. Harris
You are gone into the world of light;
And we alone sit lingering here;
Our very memory is fair and bright
And our sad thoughts doth clear.
*
It glows and glitters In our cloudy
breasts,
Like stars upon some gloomy grave,
Or those fairest beams in which this
hill Is drest,
After the suns removed .
We see you walking in an air of glory
Whose light doth trample on our days
tu&lly ostracize a socially up-and com
ing family, qr neatly deposit them
into Gotham's most exclusive circles.
"It isn't necessary to spend all that
money to launch your daughter into
society," she admitted. "When I say
$10,000, I am speaking of the formal
balL The deb can emerge >n other
ways."
Here's her budgetary advice for
those who would do It right.
Ballroom, $500; music, $1,300; sup
per, $1,750; champagne, $2,000; flow
ers, $2,500 (most expensive Item this
year); entertainment, $500 (although
it dould be $5,000) ; mineral water,
$250; "invitations,"! $800; tips, $400;
total, $10,000. ?
Be sure, she says, to send out 3,
000 invitations to the party.
Our days, which are at best but dull
and hoary
Mere glimmering and decays.

THE SCOFFER
Jarius realizing that his twelve year
old daughter was at the point of death
went to Jesus for help.
Of course, Jesus being the the kind
of person He was could not refuse
such a request, and so started home
with the sorrow-stricken father.
While they were on the way others
from the home met them and inform
ed the father that the child was
dead. They expressed the opinion that
It was useless to trouble the Master
any further.
But Jesus paying no attention to
what was said told the father, "Pear
not, only believe."'
When they reached the home, Jesus

V-8 LEADERSHIP
On October 31 of last year. Henry Ford
announced his intention to build a million
Ford V-8s in 1935. We are pleased to re
port that this goal was reached in exactly
ten months instead oi a lull year.
One million cars and trucks is an im
pressive total. But figures by themselves
mean nothing. It is what they represent
that counts. Selling a V- 8 at a low price
has brought a new kind oi automobile
within reach of the people. Producing it
has provided steady work for hundreds
of thousands of men in the Ford plants, in
associated industries and on the farm.
These million Ford V-8 cars and trucks
have helped to make things better all
around. In the first ten months of 1935 the
Ford Motor Company paid out, in the
United States alone, $140,119,326.00 in
wages and $523,111,389.00 for materials.

"And they laughed Him to scorn."
They thought that they knew, and
that He did not know the facts. So
they laughed at Him; they ridiculed
Him; they scorned Him.
But He took a few chosen ones in
cluding the father and the mother
of the child and went in where she
was, and there in their presence and
in tfie absence V>f the scoffers He
raised her to life and gave her back
to her parents.
They could scoff, and that was all
they could do. He whom they laugh
ed to scorn, restored life, and brought
happiness to the home.
It is still true that the scoffers can
scoff, but they cannot bring blessings
to take the place of those Jesus
brings.
Mark: 5:22-43.
