STATEMENT BY
MR. PATTERSON
(By S. D. Frissell)
The statement issued by General
Manager Richard R. Patterson, of the
Tobacco Growers Cooperative Asso
ciation, in Raleigh this week, as pub
lished in the State papers, has stirred
the bankers and business men of
Eastern North Carolina to a realiza
tion of a serious financial condition
which, it is widely believed, would
have been even more distressing but
for the operation this year of the
growers’ organization.
Reports to association headquarters
since Mr. Patterson and a committee
of bankers’ experts visited the
markets Eastern Carolina indicate
that the receipts in strong auction
territory have doubled during the past
week. The receipts in South Carolina,
it is now predicted, will be more than
twice what they were in 1924. The
associations price level has been main
tained in the South Carolina and
Eastern belts.
Mr. Patterson^s statement: “I have
been repeatedly asked since the to
bacco markets opened in Eastern
North Carolina what the Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association ex
pects to do about the distressing con
ditions which have followed the below-
production-cost prices offered to the
growers on the auction floor.
“My reply is that the association
now is going to do just what it has
done since organization: Provide
for the grower a service corporation
which will enable him to market his
tobacco in an orderly way. Unless
and until the grower and the business
man avail themselves of this service,
no power beneath the blue canopy of
Heaven can do anything about the
low prices the growers are now re
ceiving.
“Two excuses are being offered by
the dealers. One is that the Chinese
revolution is to blame. The other is
that the crop is of poor quality.
“It is true that the Chinese boycott
has practically forced the Export To
bacco Company which usually buys
one third or more of the bright leaf
tobacco produced in four States off the
market. We hope this condition may
be only temporary but, the crop in the
meantime is leaving the hands of the
growers and falling into the hands of
dealers.
“The association does not want to
rtin orderly marketing down the
throat of anybody. What it will do
depends upon what the business men
and other opponents of cooperative
marketing, in the past, do now. The
association can take the tobacco, re
dry it and sell it to the best advan
tages of the grower. Unless this
course is followed, the tobacco passes
from his hands into the hands of
dealers who had nothing on earth to
do with making the crop and who
will have everything to do with the
profit in it.
“As for the quality of the crop
this year: It is far better than the
average crop of tobacco I have seen
in North Carolina for the past ten
years. I believe I am a competent
judge.
“If I did not know for myself that
it is the best crop produced in years,
I certainly would have been so per
suaded by the statements the dealers
made in the newspapers prior to the
opening on the markets.
NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE SALE
“I know that eastern North Caro-
ina is suffering from the low prices
offered on auction floors. I know that
the grower is broke again. They might
as well give him ten cents as to give
him twelve and fourteen.
“The business man, the banker and
the professional man in eastern North
Carolina can remedy this situation
now. It is up to them. When they
whole-heartedly wish for better
marketing conditions and improved
prices, they can get them.
“It is a historic fact that when
Rome was burning down and the
news was carried to Nero he sent
back word that it was a case for the
fire department. The deplorable, the
pathetic condition in eastern North
Carolina is a case for the merchant
and banker of eastern North Caro
lina.”
RESULTS SHOW VALUE
OF BEAN BEETLE WORK
Observations made this summer by
J. C. Crawford, field entomologist for
the North Carolina Experiment Sta
tion show that farmers who followed
recommendations in the control of the
Mexican Bean Beetle in western North
Carolina secured good results, states
Prof. Franklin Sherman of the Di
vision of Entomology.
Mr. Crawford is stationed at the
Mountain Branch Station near Swan-
nanoa and during the past month has
the opportunity of studying the bean
beetle situated in several mountain
counties. He reports that the
beetles appeared in young beans about
May 20 this year which was earlier
than in 1924. The beetles were more
abundant this year than last but
those plantings which were poisoned
according to recommendations made
by the Division of Entomology often
outlived and outgrew the early injury
by beetles. The dry weather aided in
this somewhat as it allowed the poison
to remain on the beans for a longer
period of time. Some localities at
higher altitudes had less damage than
in 1924 even though no poisoning was
done.
The poisons recommended by Mr.
Crawford were retested this year with
success and many additional prepara-
Under and by virtue of the power
of sale contained in a certain mort
gage deed executed by H. J. Kinlaw
in favor of Knollwood, Incorporated,
dated January 22, 1924 and recorded
in the office of the Register of Deeds
in Book 41 at Page 252; said mortgage
having been duly assigned to Pine-
hurst, Incorporated with right of fore
closure; default having been nnade in
the payment of the indebtedness se
cured by said mortgage and the
powers of sale therein contained hav-
mg become operative, the said Pine-
hurst, Incorporated will sell at public

The Mexican Bean Beetle has been
in North Carolina only a few years,
having spread northward from Ala
bama and invading Cherokee County
in 1921. Since that time it has spread
throughout the mountains and moved
eastward to a line through Charlotte,
Statesville and Mount Airy. The pest
seems to prefer the higher and cooler
elevations and it is not known now
whether it will invade the great soy
bean sections of eastern Carolina.
Mr. Crawford also studied a number
of other insect pests in the mountain
territory this summer and found that
most of them could be controlled with
the usual poisons recommended.

Some marked changes in shoe styles this fall make it worth
while to look into the new arrivals that are coming in every week.
Plain Toes and Low Heels and Cubans are some of the features. We
will have new selections every few days, and have varieties and
stock now that are intresting.
OUR WOMEN’S HAT DEPARTMENT
Is one of the most satisfying factors in the Little River Stores.
We sell more hats than we would have believed possible, and we
are continually stocking up on them. A new shipment comes in,
but before we know it they have slipped out and a new lot has ar
rived, and they seem to make a continued hit. Women’s Hats this
fall are unusually attractive, which probably accounts for the
large number we are handling. Then the prices are on a legitimate
basis, instead of being inflated as hat prices some times are in
some places.
INCIDENTALLY WE HAVE A LOT OF THAT CREPE
Which you will need for Coats
BARGAIN COUNTERS FOR SATURDAY
From day to day we find certain lines getting broken, and
running short and in such shape that we have to replace them with
new assortments. To move out the broken lots or the short lines
we are establishing a Saturday Bargain counter. Possibly you may
not find there what you want, but probably you will strike some
thing that will be valuable, and the price is a bargain counter
price. Keep this in mind for Saturdays. We want to move all the
broken lots.all the time. It is your chance.
THINGS TO EAT
In the Grocery Department remember we have the things to
eat. Our meat department is a thoroughly modern equipment, and
it is stocked with real meats of all sorts. Groceries, canned goods,
vegetables whenever the farmers have any, and good ones at that,
potatoes, cow peas, look ’em over in time for dinner.
