After the tobacco sales a mass meeting of the Orange county far- j mers and a group from Johnston ! county met in the courthouse here for a discussion of the govern-1 ment grading service. Thomas i Woods, who is in charge of the government grading work on this; market, made a talk explaining the grades and benefits to the; tobacco growers of the grading j service, and Dixon Wallace, one of the proprietors of the Planters warehouse, gave his impres-suns 1 of the service from a warehouse- j man’s standpoint. Mr. Wallace had; nothing but praise for govern | ment grading and stated that both the Banner and the Planters j warehouses have already made ap-1 plication for the service again I next year. nuuiinai discussion oi ways i ►f securing the service for Orange j sounty at Me'bane took place, mu j he Orange county farmers pros i :nt decided to put forth every ef :ort to secure the service for their narket.

PROFITS FROM COTTON |* DEPEND ON YIELD - j Wl. 1 cotton sells for sixteen rents a pound for lint, a yield of , at least 312 pounds an acre ialj necessary to pay the cost of pro- j duction. “It usually costs about $50 an1 . acre to produce one acre of cot- ^ ton,” says R. H. Rogers, farm; management specialist at Stater College. “Using this figure as a ■ basis, it is easy to calculate ..he j yield necessary to break even will the crop. If cotton is selling for i1 16 cents a pound, a yield of 312; ^ pounds of lint an acre will be re- ' quired to pay the actual costs of production. By getting a larger yield than is necessary at a giv-. en price, or by producing at a! cost of less than $50 an acre, a profit above expenses will bo made. In enumerating the costs that1 go into producing an acre of cot ton, Mr. Rogers says that 25 cents an hour should be charged for family labor. Horse work should be charged at 10 rents and tractor work at one dol'ar an hour. The cash price for fer tilizer or dusting material may be accurately obtained and one dollar a ton is usually charged for manure. One dollar an acre should also be charged for the use of machinery in cultivation, planting and fertilizing. A miscellaneous charge of two dollars an acre will cover the overhead costs on mosts farms and this will include a share of the general farm costs that each productive enter prise must carry. .rv oi live per ceuz oi the estimated value of the land is also a legitimate cost item. To this should be added the acre share of the land taxes. Picking, • ginning and hauling will vary ac cording to the yield and a credit > for the seed should be deducted • to get the net cost. This figure ’ says Mr. Rogers, should be divided • jby the - pounds of lint produced !to get the cost of lint per pound. ; If the net cost also is divided by ■ the number of acres in cotton, :.he 2 cost an acre will be secured. Fig uring that it oosts about $50 ’Judge Barnhill Holds Court I' -- Delivers Fine Charge to Grand Jury As He Opens Two Weeks Term of Court For Criminal Cases A two weeks term of Superior co-urt for the trial of criminal cases began here yesterday with Judge M. V. Barnhill, of Rocky i Mount, presiding. Judge Barnhill was assigned to the fourth dis trict, of which Johnston count? is a part, for this fall but this is the first court that he has held here. During other terms of Johns ton county court Judge Barnhill was presiding over special terms call |ed in Charlotte for the trial of | Gastonia strikers. I Yestero*/ morning a grand jury was impaneled with S. P. j Wood as foreman. Judge Barn hill delivered a very fine charge ! to this body, stating that the J grand jury is a very necessny ! part of the court. Rev. D. H. Tut tle, who heard the judge's charge yesterday, made the following ' comment: “After being a voter for more than fifty years and j having heard many charges to grand jurors, it remained for me ! to hear th.is morning from Judge Barnhill the most informing j1 charge that I have ever heard, j' I never realized before how com- . pletely all of the affairs of the j ■ county—>moral, educational, finan-! rial, and official administration— '' were subject to investigation by I the grand jury. How can any cf-,1 ficcr or official body get by with < careless or criminal conduct in < office? Most assuredly a gool conscience is a neessary quail*:- . cation for grand jury duty. Con science was the best friend of the woman who was brought before < Jesus under accusation for a crime . punishable by death under the Mosaic law. Her accusers could not qualify, being convicted by I their own conscience. The woman j' was released with a charge to ‘go i < ma sin. no more, au onnswuns should pray that all men on frand jury duty so act in all 1 :ases as to be able to say with Paul: ‘I have exercised myself ,0 have always a conscience voiu ‘ offense toward God and m*;n.’ • [ believe Judge Barnhill’s charge 1 will bear fruit.” Judge Barnhill told the grand jury that he presumed that they | were from every section of the? j county and that he wanted them j to present every law breaker tnatl had not been dealt with by justices j of the peace or in Recorder s court. He asked that the rep rts of the justices of the peace be scrutinized to see if they are making such reports as the law requires, and to ascertain w' ether or not they are taking jurisdic tion where they have no jurisdic- j tion by law. He asked for a care- ! ful analyzing of the records A the clerk’s office, the sheriff’s of- 1 fice, and all the offices of tho county which handle paolic money. He likewise directed that the school funds of the county be investigated with a view to as* certain how the funds for school purposes are being expended. The docket for the two weeks’ term includes seven murder cas^s as follows: State vs. Mabel Mc Nair, State vs. George McNair State vs. Cleavner Earp, State vs Henry Jones, State vs. George Johnson, State vs. Dalina Buffa loe, and State vs. Thurston Breedlove. | No cases were begun before i noon yesterday. I MAKES OVER BALE ACRE | IN SPITE OF BOLL WEEVIL I Mr. J. 0. Creech, who lives on the farm of Albert Johnson oi Smithfield, route 1, was in towr j Saturday. Mr. Creech stated tha.1 jon sixteen a£res he produced 8,98( j pounds of lint cotton, or seven jteen bales averaging a fractior (over 528 pounds each. He plant; j the Parrish variety of cotton. Mr ’! Creech stated that he expects t |; reduce 'his cotton acreage nex jyear and plant some tobacco. ’ i an acre to produce the lint, th ! j wian who made 312 pounds ai ' I acre this year, will about breal I; even.
