December, when Gorham was found
guilty. It was reopened Tuesday
when Gorham was found not guilty.
Mason and Outterbridge, tenants
on farms near here, removed certain
products from their landlords' pack
houses and split with Gorham to haul
them to the markets/•'•Without the

charges, it is understood.

Farmers Are
Preparing for
Tobacco Crop
Martin farmers started prepar
ing for their 1932 tobaco crop this
week, when they brought seed to
County Agent Brandon here to b*
cleaned and treated. Aa far at it
could be learned here yesterday,
no aeed beeds have been planted at
this time, but during the next sev
eral weeks, white canvas squares
will dot the earth from one end
of the county to the other.
Last year, the agent cleaned or
treated enough seed to sow nearly
a million yards of plant beds. He
would not commit himself when
asked how many would be called
upon to clean and treat this year.
FEW DISEASES
ARE REPORTED
Only Three Cases Scarlet
Fever Reported In the
County Last Month
•
Health conditions were per
fect in this county last month, it was
learned from a report filed in the office
of County Health Officer J. H. Saun
ders. „ While there were a goodlly
number of cases of pnuemonia through
out the county, contagious diseases
were confined to scarlet fever, and
three cases *of that disease were re
ported to the office. Two of the three
cases were reported in Griffins Town
ship and the third in Bear Grass. All
victims were white.
The record reported for Martin
County is in close accord with the one
reported for the entire United States,
where general health conditions dur
ing December and previous months in
1931 were said to have been the best
in many years.

FREE BULLETIN
SHOULD BE MUCH
HELP TO FARMER
Twenty-two Distinct Soils
Are Found in County
Report Shows
All the.soils on all the farms in Mar
tin County are mapped and described
in the Soil Survey Report of the coun
ty just issued by the Bureau of Chem
istry and Soils, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Farmers of the county and other
persons interested may now learn the
names and the locations of the differ
ent soils on any farm in the county by
reading the report and studying the
map in it. The report names 22 dis
tinct soils as present in Martin Coun
ty in addition to meadow and swamp.
It- locates them on the map by assign
ing a color for each soil. It tells the
color, the texture, and the depth of
each type of soil, the character of the
subsoil and whether it is favorable to
the downward drainage and upward
movement of soil moisture or whether
lit is hardpan or an impenetrable sub
soil which retards root growth and the
movement of soil moisture.
I The soil survey will be of much use to
'any farmer of Martin County who
| wants a better idea of the differences
[which exist between the different soil
types on his farm.
| Norfolk fine sandy loam is described
in the report as the most extensive
'and important spil in the county and
as one which produces from 700.t0
! 1,200 pounds of tobacco to the acre
when well fertilized, 1-2 to 1 bale of
'cotton, 100 to 400 bushels of sweet
potatoes and 1 1-2 tons of peanut hay.
"This is a well-drained, mellow, and
'easily cultivated soil," says the re
jport, which warns, however, that it
I contains little organic matter and that
| this should be supplied by turning un
|der legumes, such as soybeans, cow
peas, crimson clover, and vetch, as well
'as rye.
j Lenoir very fine sandy loam, anoth
er extensive soil of the county, is de
-1 scribed as yielding from 30 to 50
i bushels of corn and front 800 to 1,400
' pounds of tobacco when properly fer
tilized and supplied with organic mat
-1 ter.
I Other important soils of the county
'described in this report are those of
| the Dunbar, Kuston, Onslow, and
iWickham series.
Farmers who know their soils well
! will enjoy comparing their judgment
of the different soils on their farms
' with what the soil experts of the State
and the United' States Deparment of
Agriculure have to say. Where the
average farmer or landowner knows
his soil to its plow depth, the soil sur
veyors know it to a depth of 4 to 6
feet, and they describe it so minutely
as to tell why some of the soils are
droughty and unproductive in dry sea-
Isons, while others hold water for the
crops even in the driest years. The
report advises as to the treatment,
'fertilizing, and cropping of the differ
!ent soils.

HOUSE BOAT ON
ROANOKE BURNS
Angered Parties Believed
To Have Fired Boat
Late Last Tuesday
•
The house boat, Doris, owned by
members of the Qpnine Hunting
| Club here, was burned on the Roa
noke River, six miles below William
ston some time Tuesday night or
tarly Wednesday morning, it was
learned here yesterday. Valued at
approximately SI,OOO, the boat was
insured, it was first stated, but later
it developed that there was no insur
jance in force at the time and the boat
( was a complete loss to the owners,
j Titus Critcher, J. G. Staton, K. B.
Crawford, T. B. Brandon, E. S. Peel,
John Cook, Will Parkej, A. R. Dun
! ning and others.
I Believing the boat was fired by cer
[tain parties angered by hunting law
j prosecutions and vast hunting rights
enjoyed by a few, owners of the boat
are understood to be conducting an
investigation in an effort to establish
the guilt of several persons held under
suspicion.
The boat was located near the
mouth of Conine Creek where
members of the hunting club would
go for two and three-day hunting trips
j during certain seasons. Beds and
household equipment in general were
a part of the boat's, equipment, all
of it being destroyed when the small
draft burned.

Importance of Sweet Potato in
County Shown in Agent Report
Depression Is Blamed For
Marked Drop
Licenses Issue
REGISTER SELLS
123 LICENSES IN
COUNTY IN 1931
Smallest Number Issued in
This County in Several
Years, Records Show
J. Sam Getsinger, Martin County
Register of Deeds, issued 123 marriage
licenses to couples in this county dur
ing the year just closed, the number
being the smallest issued by the reg
ister in many years.
Even though the number of licenses
was smaller than the number issued
in 1930 by 21, there is hope that the
depression is fast ending, using the
number of marriage licenses as a bus
iness barometer or something. In
1930, marriages in Martin County
numbered 144, or 42 less than the num
ber issued in 1929. This year there
were only 123 licenses sold in this
couny, but there was a decrease of only
21. Cupid has just about reached his
lowest level, and it will take more
than an economic depression to cur
tail marital activities more than they
have been in the past.
Licenses were issued and marriage
knots tied on some very close eco
nomic margins last year, the situation
giving rise to a little story that might
IK- of interest here and which will re
flect economic effects on love, et cetera.
Parking his car in front of a local pas
tor's home, a young man entered the
minister's study and asked if his credit
would lie good to the extent of the
usual fee charged for performing a mar
riage—whatever amount that is. The
minister told the prospective that it
would be all right, the young man
making all the assurances one could
possibly ask for, and so the knot
was tied then and there.
No note was signed, not even an
I. O. U., and a few days later, when
the young groom failed to fulfill his
promise, the minister reported the
event in one of his conversations with
one of the boys in The Enterprise of
fice. The minister was certain the
young man vtuwfil forward the amount
sooner or but when offered 25
cents for the account, he sold out,
assuring the purchaser that the en
tire anvount received, if ever, from the
groom would be turned over to the
purchaser.
Months have passed, and it is un
derstood that flip young man is now
in jail with no hbpeSLof ever settling
the account'. And, in the estimation
of the purchaser of the account, it is
good enough for any one who falsifies
credit to annex a wife.
No; the minister wasn't gambling,
for he said he accepted whatever a
mount offered hint, and when some one
other than the groom was liberal
enough to advance a consideration, it
wu'li readily accepted.
But it is surprising to know just
how many, couples' dreams ar; shat
tered when they are unable t'o-muster
an. amount required for the purchase
of marriage- licenses. Judgitig from,
the number of illegitimate births re
corded in Martin County courthouse,
the license barrier cuts no ice with
many colored couples.
A comparison of the number of li
censes issued, by months, during 1930
and 1931, is presented in the follow
ing table.

Poultry Raising In County
Gains In Importance as
a Farm Sideline
1
j The increasing importance of the
sweet potato as one of Martin Coun
ty's major crops is pointed out in the
annual farm report by Tom 1!. Bran
| ilon, Martin farm agent, this week.
| "About six years' ago," the agent
says, "Mr. \V. \V. Griffin, of Williams
| Township, built the first sweet po
i tato curing liou.se wi the county. To-
I day, there are 47 such house:, in the
j county with a combined storage and
curing capacity of nearly otI.OOO
bushels."
In addition to. those potati es cured
jin the specially btiilt house-., thous
| ands of bushels are grown by farm
ers who follow the old custom and
bank them in hills for keeping through
the winter. „ The crop has been great
ly increased in Martin County during
the past year or two, but even then
| the production is said to be short by
nearly 50 per cent, and at the present
time, the potato crop has the promise
of being the most profitable one grown
in the county in the opinion of
Brandon.
| Very few sales have been made by
owners of curing houses up until this
time, but in early spring deliveries
will be made to distant sections.
I Poultry raising, the agent's report
shows, was a big.side line for Martin
farmers during the past year Nearly
60,000 pounds of live poultry were
shipped cooperatively by Martin far
mers to northern markets, bringing
them SIO,OOO cash at a time when
money was more than "tight." At the
present time, the agent is investigating
Nie poultry markets, and it is hope'd
that arrangements can be made for
shipments this year. Ac
cording to unofficial reports heard
here and there, there are many chic
kens in the county this year, and there
is a marked need for cooperative ship
ments.
| The treatment of hogs against
cholefra was another important tet
ture in the—agent's program, 4,52.8 of
the animals having been treated for
241 farmers during the year. t This
work alone has saved Martin farmers
thousands of dollars yearly, and each
year the demand for vaccination in
creases.
I ►,
| Sizeable savings were effected when
the agent purchased 50, HOI) potato
baskets, 80 pecan trees, two cars of
drain tile, and 900 pounds nf perma
incnt pasture seed for distribution a
mong hundreds of farmers.
| Cleaning and treating tobacco seed
for 237 farmers required much of the
agent's time during last January and
a pari of February. Mr. Brandon
states mat he either cleaned or treat
ed eiuftigh -seed to sow 998,960 yards
of plant' beds. This work is being
started at the present time for the
1932 crop.
I Other activities of the agent are re
ported in detail, as follows:
| Two hundred and twelve days were
spent in field work.
Ninety days were* spent in the of
fice, handling various Reports to State
departments, and holding conferences
'with farmers from all over the coun
ty-
Nearly 500 farms were visited dur
ing the year, the agent receiving 1,814
office and 1,709 telephone calls. More
than 2,000 letters were written, and
38 articles were prepared for local
papers. Two hundred and twenty
bulletins were distributed.
Eight farmers, were assisted in plan
ning and contsrtucting their potato
curing houses. Forty-one poultry cul
ling demonstrations were held and 26
farmers were assisted in feeding hogs
for market. The sale of two carloads
and 16 truck loads of hogs was han
dled during the year.
Sixty-four farmers were advised in
connection with the planting of perma
nent the agent assistijng in
the woj-k. Two carloads of sweet
potatoes were sold under his direc
tion, and thirteen county and. com
munity meetings were held in connec
tion with farm work in the county
during 1931.
