Tobacco of that type is now selling in Europe for 5 cents. It costs 2 1-2 cents to put it in hogsheads; this taken from 5 cents, the sale price, ; leaves the farmer 2 1-2 cents for housing, curing, grad ing, and marketing, to say nothing of the"planting and growing costs. Tobacco buyers everywhere are advising farmers to prime off as much as two bottom leaves, hill up, and get better quality on the balance of the plant. The farmer who produces real quality tobacco this year will get a profit. The man who raises poor to bacco will lose money. Up to now, every indication |>oints to a medium weight crop, with the possibility of good quality. The farmer has only a few more weeks to do his part in making it a good crop.. , 0/ Educational Value The Greensboro Nrw.s has the following to slyirt connection with the cattle ranch in this county r What must be an entirely new venture for eastern Carolina, certainly on any such scale is announced in Martin county, where "a prominent lowa banker," aided by "a well-known malted milk and cattle man from Wisconsin," has purchased F5,00Q acres of land and will establish a cattle ranch. It is significant that the possibilities'offered by that section for development of the cattle-raising industry should be recognized and acted U|x>n by men from the premier farming belt of lowa and the champion dairy ing state of Wisconsin and that they should lie willing with the insight and practical experience which they have presumably had, to cast their lot and their dol lars into eastern Carolina. Obviously they have seen opportunities which residents of the section itself have failed to appreciate or to take advantage of despite the years which state agricultural leaders have devot ed to their preachment. The establishment of the Martin county ranch is welcomed not only as a specific project but because of the reasonable presumption that it will turn the sec tion's attention to cattle raising and dairying and, more than all, offer'practical"'evidence of what can be done with the new industry and how it should be done. If the ranch succeeds, it should be of untold educational value to a section which, for some reason or other, has been exceedingly slow about grasping diversification doctrines and effecting badly needed agricultural changes. ANNOUNCEMENT! The Brsfnch Banking and Trust Company announces the election of the following directors of the Williamston Branch: ♦ ' C. A. HARRISON, F. U. BARNES, E. S. PEEL, J. G. STATON, C. D CARSTAHPHEN, OF WILLIAMSTON; GEORGE L. MARDRE, JR., AND W. L. POWELL, OF WINDSOR The Branch Banking and Trust Company makes this an- * nouncement with the expressed hope of better serving this com munity and its people. - • . ' T' I . . • , . . , ' - Branch Banking and Trust Company An Unnecessary Institution The New York Stock Exchange did more business in the year 1930 than every farm and factory com bined in the Unit deStates did during the same period. Yet it did not add the value of one (.rain of corn, n r the amount of one penny's value to the r'intent of the country. While there is no way to tell by actual figures how things would now be, had there l>een no New York Stock Exchange, yet we "feel safe in saying that noth ing has done as much in consolidating the wealth of this country into a few hands as the st.ck excliarg' gambling, which heads up in the New York Stock Ex change. While the \'ew York Stock Exchange is not alto gether bad, we can hardly htink but that its influence and activities have veen very detrimental to the coun try's welfare. It was evidently the purpose of the organization when founded to serve the public in mak ing legitimate deals, and while it still does some such service, its main purpose is to promote gambling and to maintain system which enables hundreds of thous ands to do what they call "playing the market." The stock exchange is made up of something over 1,000 members, and the average value per seat, in 1930, was more than $300,000, making the institu tion worth about one-third of a billion dollars—which gives sufficient |>ower to those on the inside to cre ate or destroy. Naturally, the untrained gambler that puts up his little margin of cash on something he knows nothing about nearly always goes broke, and generally the bank he steals from to protect his mar gin goes broke, too. What would happen if our Government would say to the New York and all other, stock markets that (leal in futures -and on margins, "Liquidate and go out of business for 10 years," who would be the loser? Would it be the wheat farmer of*the West, the cotton farmer of the South, or any other farmer, merchant, or manufacturer? N'o, indeed, they would all be richer, for, after all, they are the fellows that have to bear the burden and finally pay the entire bi'l for the operation of the stock exchange; and, in addition, their potential profits are lost, because of the manipu lation of the prices of their products. The cotton exchanges have cost the South enough losses in price to make it poor, and has profited the manipulators enough to make them rich during the last fifty years. Neither the stock or produce exchanges have ever touched a grain of corn, nor a sheaf of wheat,.yet they sell all of every crop twenty-five times before it is harvested, and make a profit on it every time. OT course, the gambler for whom the buy or sell does not make a profit every time, yet both are |>aying toll to the business, and all the cost is finally charged up against the farmer's crop. 'After all, tlu-sr exchanges are nothing more nor less than places where men-station themselves for the purjiose of getting the cream from other people's milk, and is about the same as a man who seats himself at a neighbor's cowpen gate and milks his cows as they pass ni and carries the milk away for his own use. Blindly Following Styles Style is doubtless one of the principal reasons for so much stealing. We have cultivated such strong desires for costly pleasures demanded by modem style that we are willing to spend all we have for them. When all the money is gonej we then promise all we expect to have and when we reach that end we go to stealing in order to attain the pleasures that modern styles demand. There are many women with husbands in the peni tentiaries who were sent there because they robbed banks to keep them in style and satisfy their whims. Then sometimes, whimsical, stylish and foolish girls press their sweethearts so hard for big times that they force them to "knock down" a little change, rob gis tanks and even steal cars. We need to be taught that it is better to give up style than it is to sacrifice honor. This is another course the schools should specialize in. HE BNTERPKIB SWEET POTATOES EQUAL TO BEST IN DIET OF MAN Many foods are more abundantly ! supplied with protein than the sweet I potat", but the Un'ted States Depart -1 ment of Agriculture recently found that-the protein in a sweet potato is equal in quality to the best in man's diet. Dr. D Breese Jones, Department ff A?i iculture chemist, and his asso ciates discovered, during their re searches, a new protein, ipomoein, which contributes largely to the high nutritional value of the sweet potato, j ipomoein is a chemically complex substance, made up of several simpler | chemical compounds, among which are four amino acids known to be essen tial to the normal nutrition of animals. Cereal grains, in particular, are low in two of tj>ese essential amino acids, while some other rich protein foods lack appreciable quantities of one or more of them. A supplement of sweet | potato in the diet would tend to cor-, rect these, deficiencies. Sweet potato | culls are particularly advisable as a supplement to the livestock ration, in Which most of the protein is supplied . by concentrates or other plant origin. Practically all of the protein iu a j freshly dug sweet potato is ipomoein j But after keeping a few months, es pecially if the potatp has been im' I properly stored in a warm place, part of the original protein breaks up into simpler substances, some of which are soluble in water and are utilized in the processes of sprouting and growth. -The protein, with all its nutritious constituents, in a modifrately fresh po j tato coagulates at cooking tempera j tures and remains iu a form which can ! be easily assimilated. This is true, no' matter how the potato may be cooked. | But if one should boil an old potat >, in which some of these constituents have been set free in water-soluble form, these valuable nutrients would leach out and be lost in the pot liquor. The break-up of protein does not les sen the nutrient value of an old sweet potato if it is cooked dry. Cool stor age "delays the change of the protein. Warmth hastens it. Several Jacksonville (Fla.) hotels and restaurants now list peanut soup 011 the menus. • NOTICE OP SALE UNDER DEED OF TRUST Under and by the authority confer red on and vested in me in and by j that certain deed of trust executed to me as trustee by Annie Bond on the I Oth day of January, 1927, which de 1 of trust is recorded in the Martin of same, 1 shall offer for sale, at the courthouse doat in Maitin i flinty, an County records in hook Y-2, at pai?e. 112, the notes secured by said deed oi trust not having been paid and satis lied. and at the request of the holder Wednesday, the Bth day in July. 1931, at 12 o'clock in., at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash, the fol lowing described land, to wit: Beginning at a stake-tin Klin Street in the town of Willianiston one hun dred and thirteen (113) feet from the edge of the pavement on the west side / „ • > y / micru/WJy'rM/ THE NEW FORD STANDARD SEDAN &£.... , * I A beautiful five-passenger car, with longer, wider body, and attractive, comfortable interior.

''Some folks do not care to figure their income on a percentage basis, ' says J. B. Britt, Halifax county agent. ' "If they do not, then let them figure j that corn fed hogs will pay ;a net pro • fit of $1.27 a bushel. This is certainly I a good price considering what corn is selling for as grain. These results were secured by Yalter N. Bobbitt, of Tillery in Halifax county. Mr. Tillery started 24 pigs on feed last February and when they had been fattened to market weight, he sold them for $308.88 net. He charged the pigs for ! their market price when placed on ' feed and also charged 75 cents a bushel for every bushel of corn they coa -1 sumed. The mineral and protein sup plements were charged at actual'cost. All of these charges totaled $254.05. j The net selling price of $308.88 less I the $254.05 left a net profit of $54.83 :or 17.07 percent on the investment. I The pigs cost $145.05 to begin with.' | Many men with stocks and bonds' would be glad to get this interest rate I on their investments." Figuring the results another way, the pigs paid $1.27 a bushel for the 105 .bushels of corn consumed. This was net after all other expenses ha ! ! been paid. The pigs were just the j usual run of farm pigs and were not unusually thrifty to make unusuil ' gains, They were sold a little light, | only 173 pounds average, to make the largest profit. Mr. Britt says, how ever, that it requires a little more care to make niQney on feed ng hogs than it does on ten-ceHt cotton and twelve cent tobacco. I In addition to this hog feeding work, Mr. Bobbitt has recently started a herd of pure bred Shropshire sheep. He has seeded 12 acres to permanent pas ture and will plant 15 acres more this fall.. He has Slso bought a pure bred Guernsey Will. jof Washington Street; thence running lin a northerly direction eighty-five '(85) feet to a stob; thence a westerly direction forty-five (45) feet to a stob; 'thence a southerly direction eighty-five | (85) feet to a stob on Elm Street; Nine-Tcnthr.
