JOHN KING MAY HEAD
NEW PEANUT EXCHANGE
The organization of the enlarged
peanut growers' exhacnge for the pea
nut growers of Virginia and North
Carolina is now fully assured. At an
tion on Monday, February 7ta, at
enthusiastic meeting of the
whicl) tho secretary and the manager
gave a most encouraging report of
the progress of the campaign for sign
ers, it was decided that steps should
lie taken at once for selecting the
permanent manager of th Exchange,
when its organization j.s completed.
Immediately the executive commit
te of th Hoard of Directors had a
conierence with John King, one of
the pioneers of the peanut industry
in Virginia ,and from him secured an
expression of his willingness to rec
ommend to the stock holders of the
John King Peanut Company the sale
of their plant to the new F.xchange
and also t» assume the active manag
ment of the business affairs of the
Exchange when organized.
Mr. King is himself a farmer as
well as a manufacturer anil has beei
a strong champion of the farmers'
interests. He has been remarkably
successful in the conduct of his bus
i e ■■;> and the growers feel that vtfith
I.(in nt the head of their business af
..V., their organi*ation would enjoy
prosperity from the very beginning
Now that th* growers have mori
than*3s per cent of the peanut.\growr
in Virginia and North Carolina signe
up. they will push their organtzatVn
work to secure the additional signer
to give them control of the requite
5(1 per cent In order to push thi>
work to completion within the ne\l
two months, J. T. Gillette, a success
ful attorney of Cortland, was choser
as director of the organization wort
anil on the urgent plea of his asso
ciates consented to take charge o
this final drive. Mr. Gillette is als
a large grower and nas been of inval
uable service to the E\fhaitge in Its
organization york.
The meeting today was one of
straight business and marks the big
gest step forward yet taken by the
growers in their determination to per
fect their organization. The success
of tl\«jir recent parcel post and dem
onstration sales ,as reported by J.
Frank Fooshe, Secretary and Mana
ger, has fully convinced them that
there is ;t great opportunity for them
to push the sale of peanuts through
an organization of their own.
In addition to the full attendance
of the members of the Hoard, ther i
were present at Monday Vnieeting Dr.
R k W. Kilgore and John I! Hutcheson,

THE ENTERPRISE
A Cow Shoutd be
On Every Farm
We are printing a letter taken from
the Extension Farm News, purporting
to be from a cow, but as a matter iw
fact, it is the exclamation of those
who know If .e value of the cow. Just
at this junctuie when we are abi'U
to be laced in a stock law terriotory
it is highly important that we have
a good cow. The best and cheapest
food in the world is the products of
the cow. We hope all our subscribers
will read the statement and study ti
.with care.
"Do you know .me? 1 am one of
teh Foster Mothers of the world. 1
am not as well acquainted in North
Carolina-as 1 would like to be. In
some of the eastern counties there is
only an average of one of my species
on every three farms. A story about
myself and the food product which I
produce may serve to make me bettei
known aU over the State.
1 live in Richmond County- It. i«
my business to eat corn, silage, hays
grain and grain by-products and con
cert them into milk, nature's most
per feet food. I-ast year I produce!
13,016.5 pounds of milk, which con
tained mote digestible food than the
carcasses of five steers, each weigh
ing as much as myself. I belong to
a breed of animals which has the
distinction of being the most econom
ical producer of human food. Last
year about 20 per cent of the hu
man food oensumed in this country
was produced by me and my sisters:
Prof. Henry says that we lead all
farm animals in our ability to con
vert the crops of the field into humor
food, which is illustrated bv the fol
lowing table:
Human food produced by farm ani
mals from 1(10 pounds of itigestihlr
matter consumed:
Animal Edible Solids
Cow (Milk! IS O IIP?.
Pig (Dressedl 15.6 lbs.
Poultry (Eggsl 4 5.1 lbs.
Steer (Dressed) 2.8 lbs.
Sheep (Dressed). 2.f18|
The food I produce contains
ingredients for nourishment fn just
the right proportion for a well hnl
anced ration. It builds up the body,
| keepsit in repair and furnishes it with
heat and energy. It requires no prep
aration and has no wuste.
Scientists have proven by, carefully
planned experiments that the food
which 1 produce contains protective
substances which give the body a re
cist ive power against diseases. These!
: substances are known as vitamines,
and unless they are presentin the food
of the human being, nndevelopment
atld illness will result. There are
three of thfcie substances, the fat sol-'
üble A which is found in butter and
ct-nnm, and the water soluble which
are found in the part of milk winch
isfoAflfct.
Anli contains proteins of a very
high quality which ate necessary in
strong muscles and othei
body tissues. It also contains min
eral mfctter used In the formation of
hones Mid teeth. An insufficient sup
ply of thia material in the food of
young chiNhfen will result in fault)
bone lpv*topttiftnt known as rickets
Lime, »me of these mineral elements,
is foum in larger quantities in milk
than in any other common food. In
one quart there is as much as is con
tained in 28 pounds of beef, 23 pound,
of potatoes, or nine pounds of white
bread. »
My product is cheep when compared
with the cost of (fther foods. One
quart of milk is equal in food value
to any of the following:
- *-••*». - -
2 pounds chicken,
3-4 pound beefsteak,
4-6 pound pork.
Dr. McCullom, Professor of Chem
ical Hygiene, John Hopkins Unive»-
sity, says: "The people who have
achieved, who have become large
strong, vigorous people, who have re
duced thei rinfant mortality, who have
the best trades in the world; who have
an appreciation of art, literature and
music, and who are progressive in
science and in every activity of the
human intellect, are the people who
have used milk and its products lib
erally."
This completes my story about.my
self and the human food which I pro
duce. My mission on earth is to as
sist mankind in developing a strong,
healthy, Vigorous race, but so long
as large areas exist in which onjy
one cow is found to every three farms
h is Impossible for me to fulfill it."

thrift ami war savings stamps and
other government savings certificates

' GOOD SAKEN REPORTED
Good sales have been reported for
the local market this week. We have
seen a good nunfbr of Smiling farmer.-
who stated that they were well pleas
ed with their prices. The prices may
be boosted by the Companies to fool
the farmers into a large crop but we
are .evidently too wise to dive deep
in tobacco planting this year. The
Eastern Carolina Markets will close
in a fewv weeks and farmers should
rush their tobacco to the markets be
fpre they close.
NOTICE
If ' ou'don't pay your electric light
bills on or before the 21st of Feb.,
service will be discontinued. FAIR
WARNING. •
We hope to be able to move to our

The rates after we move up town will
be cut to 16c per killowat.

50 PER CENT ACREAGE.
REDUCTION IS URGED
I lief a line is and businessmen gen
erally of the south are facing the
most sertous condition they have ever
faced. It is absolutely necessary that
the acreage of cotton and tobacco be
reduced ami reduced radically. Some
say ♦.hut a 5(1 per cent reduction Would
be too much, but the best thought u
inong men who ought to know, say
that a fifty per cent reduction would
not Ue too great.
The man who is debt and thinks
th.it putting in a big acreage tliT>
>eai, he will be enabled to pay off
all his debts is going to be sadly mis
taken. Ho will not only be unable
to p.i\ his debts incurred by the loss
-ustaiued in 1920 but will go deeper
in the mire. The one thing we need
to consider this year and it is a good
ihii.g to look after every year, is
IH Every man ought to try
to s» e how good a crop lie cAn pro
du\ ;ml not how much. It is saiil
t'iiit money talks but the like of It
is goi.i gto talk louder this year than
i' iii ass band.
The bankers and merchants posi
tively will not be able to furnish any
nvm who does not reduce his acreage
to what lie can produce without an\
outside help and if we plant what w
can house in good condition we will
come out on top this fall. If.we plant
a large acreage and have to pay out
money to some one to help us house
it at a fancy figure we will be worije
off titan iVer.
t.'otton can be bought at today'
market price for 12 cents, miildting
basis, I''. O. 11. Williamston. If you
llii'ik you can raise cotton and make
money at that price the chance is
ouis. Jf yau cannot raise it at 1"
cents, it behooves you to think ser
lousl) before you plant more than 50
per cent of what you planted last yeni
—lf you think you can raise tobacco
at frim two to ten cents, plant all
,\uu cj»n. If you want to make a good
,•11,j, cut your acreage to fifty per
cent aril produce acrop of quality that
vnil'ttfling you twenty five to thirtv
cents per pound.
""'use are serious things to think,
over iinil it is up to us to stand t'
getl ei or it may he we will have to
fall together.

Mrs. Minerva Everett died at five
o'clock this morning after a short at

'with heart trouble. Mrs. Everett was
a niember of one of the prominent
Gilliam families of Alamance county
and was born in Altamahaw in thai
county November :!4th, 1847, making
her a little more than three years
past the allotted time of three scory
and ten. In her young womanhood,
she taught school in Virginia and in
North Carolina and While teaching at
Everetts married the lute Simon P.
Everett in 1877, In 1887 her hus

M rs. Everett had been a men»tei

were few people who more earnestly
showed forth their goodness and love
than did she in her very day walk
in life anil while her life was beset
with many cares, a widow with a large
number of small children to rear, yet
her work was well done. Hers was
