PAGE FOUR NEGROES GIVE AID TO STATE'S FARM PROGRAM —• — Negro farmer* in North Carolina adopted the live-at-home program this year and gave whole-hearted sup port to the agricultural extension serv ice in all of its plans. "Not only did the Negro citizens of this State grow food and feed crops to the limit of their resources this year, but they "have been industrious ■ in conserving these crops for use this winter," reports John VV. Mitchell, district agent in charge of farm dem onstration work with Negroes. "In visiting with the 16 local Negro farm agents throughout the State this ye>|, NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND FOR TAXES I, G. D.

We have secured a num ber of excellent record* which tend to ' show the progress made. With so l i many of our people occupying the po -1 sition of tenant farmers, they have not been able to do the things they wanted to do in every case; but, there has been a noticeable increase in gardens, in hay production and in the > canning and drying of fruits and vege ; tables." | Soybean growing for hay increased 1 very perceptibly this season, he says, and some growers report hay yields of two tons an acre and above. Many colored farmers report having from 80 to 100 chickens in flocks prepared for the winter. CIRCUS TO SHOW HERE THIS WEEK Barnett Bros, Circus And Trained Animal Show Coming The - time-honored, yet magical, phrase, "Are you going to the-cir cus?" is the query most frequently heard these days upon every hand in Williamston, and for miles out in the surrounding country. The Barnett Bros. Circus and trained animal show is responsible for the question, ar rangements having been completed i fur them to exhibit in Plymouth on | Wednesday, December 2, giving two performances; at 2 and 8 p. m., with | doors open one hour earlier. The small boy and girl are corre spondingly happy, and it goes without saying that their elders bave the day marked on their calendar, too. The hippodrome track is a veritable ma/e in rings, ropes, and apparatus, upon which dautless queens and kings of the air twice daily defy death in entertaining the thousands of patrons. Over 100 men, women, children and educated animals are employed in the presentation of the astounding pro gram, from the first to the last num ber. Act follows act in rapid succession and with such precision and skill as only can be found with Barnett Bros. Circus. Throughout the performance as many as fifteen separate acts are simultaneously presented in the air or on the ground, and one is kept right busy watching the myriad of wonders. —Press Agent. LOGIC DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK AS TO FARM CROPS Old Law of Supply and Demand Is An Out and Out Falsehood Now It lias been insistently argued that if production of tobacco and cotton were decreased, price per pound for the product would surely increase. That was the basis of all the acreage reduction legislation talk; and it sound ed good. That's what ought to hap pen, but it doesn't always work out that way. A News and Observer editorial re cently emphasized this argument, and pleaded for action on the part of the governor for acreage control legisla tion at a special session of the general assembly. Hut irif another editorial, in the same appears this com ment : "Georgia's tobacco crop this year totaled 60,881,696 pounds, and brought cents per pound. The crop in 1930 was 103,305,159 pounds, and it brought an average of 9.86 cents per pound. ] "The crop was forty million pounds I less this year, and the price was three cents less than last year. "Where is the argument last spring 'that i( farmers would reduce the pro duction, the price would jgp up?" j From which it appears that better t prices do not necessarily follow lower • production. Many other factors must 'he taken into account. THE BHTERPRIBE Curtis Says He Will Run For Vice Presidency Again Washington, Nov. 30.—Vice Presi dent Curtis is going ta stick by the ! Republican national ticket—if the par ty wants to renominate him, and there is every indication that it does. In a brief statement, Mr. Curtis to day announced he would not run for his old place in the senate from Kan sas and would accept the vice presi -1 dential nomination if it is tendered to him. There was no mention of President Hoover in the long awaited announce ment, but the Hoover forces saw fav orable omens in the decision of the veteran Republican leader to cast his lot with the national ticket in 1932. Smiling and joking with newspa permen, Curtis declined to add to his prepared statement or to say whether he had discussed it with Mr. Hoover. • $ Rutherford County has 18 storage houses for sweet potatoes, with a ca-1 parity of 50,000 bushels.
