GARDEN NOTES
FOR NOVEMBER
• ,
Miss Sleeper Offers Advice
About Storing Vegetables
For Winter Use
Keep the winter diet of pork sau
sage and spareribs supplemented with
a supply of stored vegetables. The
following classification of the storage
conditions for different vegetables
should prove helpful:
Cool temperature and moderate hu
midity: Crops belonging to this class
are cabbage, celery, beets, carrots,
parsnips, turnips, and Irish potatoes.
Practically all of these crops lend
themselves to common forms of stor
age such as a pit, hill, or cellar, and
at temperatures slightly above freez
ing. Good ventilation is very import
ant. The atmosphere should be kept
moist enough to prevent shriveling but
dry enough to prevent the develop
ment of rots.
In the milder parts of the South,
both celery and cabbage, as well as
most of the root crops, may be left
in the garden row by giving slight
protection. Many gardeners keep
cabbage by turning the heads toward
the north and covering the stem and
base of the head with soil. Collards
may be kept In the same way.
Most of the root crops may be kept
in the row where grown. As soon as
freezing weather threatens, throw a
light furrow to each side o? the row
and give additional protection aa
needed. 'lf kept in pita or hills, pro
vide good ventilation and just enough
protection to prevent freezing.
Irish potatoes keep best at temper
atures ranging from 36 to 40 degrees
in a moderately moist atmosphere. A
cool, dark cellar with a dirt floor is
a good place. The potatoes should be
stored in slatted crates and good ven
tilation should be provided.
Several Game Law
Violators Summoned
County Game V?arden J. W. Hines
and Assistant W. K. Parker, with
Deputy Sheriff S. H. Grimes pattern
ed their work after that of the prohi
bition raiders yesterday when they
searched around for game law violat
ers. That their search was fruitful is
evidenced by the large catches of
hides and skins. Fifty 'coon skins, 19
oppossum skins, 5 mink rfkins, and 1
wild-cat skin were found in Grover
Godard's possession. Five 'coon and
18 opposum skins were found in Her
bert Gardner's possession. They
found that Harry Martin had a live
raccoon which he caught recently.
The cases will be heard before Jus
tice of the Peace J. L. Hassell.

FREIGHT TRAIN
WRECK TUESDAY
NEAR EVERETTS
Hits Open Switch While
Running About 25
Miles an Hour
NO ONE BADLY HURT
Railroad Officials Begin Investigation
To Determine Cause of Accident;
Passenger Train Delayed
Running into an open switch, the
freight train operating between Ply
mouth and Parmele was wrecked at
the McNaughton siding, near Everetts,
last Tuesday afternoon, train attend
ants escaping with only minor bruises.
The train was running approximately
25 miles an hour when the last three
cars went into the switch, tearing up
the tracks for a hundred yards or
more. One or two of the cars plowed
8 or 10 feet from the tracks into the
soft dirt, but none turned over.
The wreck was very unusual in
that only the last few cars went into
the siding, the ei.gine and several oth
er cars passing safely over the switch.
Couplings were snatched in two and
other running gear was damaged sev
cial hundred dollars, the majority of
the damage being confined to the
tracks. Rails were twisted and cross
tics were chewed badly by the car
trucks.
.Captain Duval, on the train at the
tune, disconnected the wreckage and
continued the run on into Plymouth
without a caboose and with Several
curs missing. The. passenger
train Was held in Robersonville until
■4 o'clock Wednesday morning while a
wrecking crew worked all night to
clear the wreckage and repair the
ttacks.
Atlantic Coast Line officials are in
vestigating the wreck, but no official
■ (port on the findings could be had
here yesterday afternoon. It is be
lieved that the switch was partly open
ed, that the engine and several cars
barely missed going into the siding.
The train crew had not used the aid
ing in almost a month, and the section
master had not turned the switch in
over a week, according to reports giv
en here.

Rev. Mr. West stated, in coimtwrion
with his anonuncetnents: "The day\j
these opening services marks the pcr
icd of one year and one mouth from
the day the former church building
burned. It is to be noted, however,
that during this time the church has
not been without a comfortable place
of worship. Before the crowd had dis
persed from the fire that destroyed the
old building, the use of the other two
churches of the town was heartily ten
dered. Hence, during the intervening
time the Methodist church has been
used for our regular services. There
fore, it is'desired to make acknowledge
ment publicly for these kind invitations
and to extend our genuine and heart
felt appreciation to our Methodist
fiiends for the free use of their church
during the interim."
A cordial invitation is extended the
public to attend the opening and suc
cveding services of the church.

COTTON CO-OPS
OFFER SIXTEEN
CENTS ADVANCE
■. •
Made Possible by Loan of
Federal Farm Board to
Association *
ELIMINATE*RED TAPE'
Farmers Now Have Option of Placing
Their Cotton in Two Pools
of Association
Aid to North Carolina cotton farm
ers from the Federal Government in
the marketing of their cotton is at 1 last
a reality. The Federal Farm Board
has made available to North Carolina
cotton farmers through the North Car
olina Cotton Growers Cooperative As
sociation a loan of $2,500,000 to assist
in keeping their cotton off of the
in th; present emergency.'This
loan from the Federal Government has
m.-de it possible for the Cotton Asso
ciation to increase its first advance to
members, who place their cotton in
the seasonal pool, to 16 cents per
pound, basis middling, 7-8 inch. There
is only one condition attached to ,thiji
ofter by the farm board, and that con
dition is that the farmer shall market
his cotton through the cooperative as
sociation. Ihe plan for securing this
loan is simple, and all so-called "red
tripe" has been cut.
The farmer simply takes his cotton
to the nearest receiving point, signs
the association marketing agreement,
unloads his cotton on the platform and
immediately receives from the receiv
ing agent or warehouseman a draft on
the cotton association for the amount
of 12 cents per pound. He otshes this
draft at any hank. As soon as samples
from the hale of cotton reach the class
ing rooms of the association in Raleigh
the association mails him a check for
the additional amount of 4 cents per
poiuul,-or whatever additional amount
is necessary to bring his total advance
up to 16 cents per pound, hasis mid
dling, 7-8 inch.
In discussing the matter, U. R. Bla
lc.clc, general manager of the Cotton
Growers Association, states that asso
ciation officials Understand front the
Federal Farm Board that they would
nut be e. lled for margin on account of
the money advanced by the , Farm
jlToLrd, regardless of how low the price
jut c« tton might go. "It has taken sev
| el:il days for the Cotton Growers As
sociation to make the necessary ar
rangements with the Federal Farm to
1 iret this money, but all "red tape" is
now behind us, " said Mr. Blalock,
"and we are nownhtailing out checks
to members whose cotton Tilis been de
livered to our seasonal pool.
began going into the nwil Monday
morning, and we expert to bc'tittr to
I pet this money out promptly as fast
a- the cotton is classed*
"The special advancc'from the Fed
eral Farm Board does not apply io cot
ton placed in the association's optional
pool, because in that pool the member
reserves the right to order the sale of
I his cotton on aity day. However, all
members who have placed their cotton
lin the optional pool are allowed to
tiansfer it to the*seasonal pool and take
advantage of the aid from the Federal
Farm Board if they so desire.
"The Federal Farm Board has now
done its part in offering this assistance
jto cotton farmers, and the cooperative
association has done its part in making
I this-money available in the easiest pos
sible way to present members and
to all others wHo may wish to join and
!take advantage of this government aid.
| The- matter is now placed definitely in
j the hands of each individual cotton
| farmer, and if lie should fail to take
'advantage of this offer,, he can never
| again complain that his Federal Gov
' eminent has not offered hint assistance
iat a time when it is most needed.
Upon receipt of information that the
Federal Farm Board would make this
loan to cotton farmers through their
cooperative associations, J. A. Evans,
assistant chief of the United States
Division of Cooperative Extension
Work, immediately wired all state di
rectors of agricultural extension work
urging them to take immediate steps
to acquaint farmers with the plan. He
said, "The cotton farmer never before
has had such an opportunity to de
cisively test the value of orderly co
operative marketing in securing a fair
market price for his product, and this
ur.der circumstances where he has
everything to gain and little, if any
thing, tr lose by such cooperation.' "
Baptists To Begin
Their Revival Sunday
Dr. Jim Turner, of Raleigh, will be

The pastor and congregation have

pi-blic is invited to these services.
For various reasons, it was decided
to hold a short meeting. People can
easily arrange for a week, and it is
confidently expected that large crowds
will gather each evening.
"'lt- is the plan to have some short
services for the young people, after
school, for a few of the evenings.
Mr. Turner comes highly recom

is fortunate to have him.
Prices of Peanuts
i Above Predictions
♦
The peanut market hat opened
at prices a little above the early
predictioris, and some dealers
believe the market will strength
en if farmers do not sell too fast.
One Norfolk firm has sent out
quotations as follows for the new
crop of peanuts, dry and in good
condition: t
Extra large bright, 4 1-4 to
4 1-2 cents; No. 1 grade, 4 to
4 1-8 cents; No. 2 grade, 3 3-4
to 3 7-8 cents; shelling stock,
3 1-2 to 4 cents.
Some farmers are doing their
picking this week, although the
wet weather has delayed work
in most places. Quality is gen

Z. T. Piephoff in Charge of
Program at Luncheon
Wednesday
"The Golden Rule" was the subject
used by Kev. Z. T. Piephoff, the
speaker at the Kiwanis luncheon held
here last Wednesday.
Mr. Piephoff discussed the subject
more from the business than the
spiritual side, pointing out the won
derful success of a number of busi
ness men who have adopted the rule
as th«it, creed in business. The creed,
it was slated, assures a fair division
of profits to the employer, the em
ployee and the customer.

its assurance of good will and best
wishes and the hope of success to
Dr. FitzGerald in his work in his
new field.
Senate to Direct Inquiry
On Cotton Speculation
Washington, Nov. 14.—Investiga
tion of speculative activities on the
Now .York, Chicago and New Orleans
rotton exchanges will be commenced
tomorrow by a Senate committee, as
ordered by the Senate today through
adoption of a resloution sponsored by
Senator Helfln, Democrat, Alabama.
Helfln originally proposed an in
vestigation into the effect on cotton
ptices of fluctuations on the New
York Stock Exchange, but the audit
committee amended the resolution
to confine the inquiry to the cotton
markets. The Alabaman said he
would suggest,that the presidents of!
the throe exchanges be asked to ap-j
pear as well as other persons who
could tell about "manipulations" of
prices on the markets.
In a long introduction, the resolu
tion stated that the world cotton
crop in 1928 was 23,000,000 bales and
that the world consumption was 25,-:
000,000 beles, "showing that the con
supmtion of cotton was running far
ahead of cotton production."
Complaints had been made, it
added, by cotton farmers, merchants
and bankers in the producing states
that "something is wrong with the
cotton market and that the price is
being depressed and fixed by purely
speculative forces and that cotton is
selling not only at unprofitable
prices but below the cost of produc
tion."

Gets Three Bales oi
Cotton on Two Acres
In a two-acre plot lighted by pow
erful electric lights, Mr. J. C. Cherry,
a merchant of Kelford, raised three
bales of cotton this year, according to
a report appearing in the Bertie
News-Leader, newspaper published
in Windsor.
The report in the paper states
While the boll weevil and the wet
weather curtailed the cotton crop in
Roxobel township at least sixty per
cent from an average, Mr. J. Cr
Cherry, a merchant of kelford, is
able to pick three bales from a two
acre field in town just behind his
home. He gathered nearly thirty-four
hundred pounds of seed cotton from
the first picking and will get several
