AGAIN THIS YEAR
•
Details of Allocation Not
Yet Workd Out, But
Fund Available
♦
According to information reaching
here, Martin County farmers may be
able to borrow money from the gov
ernment in financing their .farming op
.drations ,'this year, however, details
for lending any of the $50,000,000 ap
propriated by Congress have not been
made complete. Until methods of al
locating the funds are determined, it
will be useless for even deserving
farmers to make applications for aid.
Fifty million dollars have been al#l
located to the Secretary of Agricufr'
ture, and under his authority the money
will be expended "for the purpose
of making loans or advances to farm
ers in the several states of the United
States in cases where he finds that
an emergency exists as a result of
which farmers are unable to obtain
loans for crop production during the
year 1932," with the proviso "That the
Secretary of Agriculture shall give
preference in niakng such loans or ad
vances to farmers who suffered from
crop falures in 1931."
The bill further states: "Such ad
vances or loans shall be made upon
such terms and conditions and subject
to such regulations as the Secretary
of Agriculture shall prescribe. A first
lien on all crops growing, or to be
planted and grown, shall, in the discre
tion of the Secretary of Agriculture,
be deemed sufficient security for such
loan or advance. All such loans or
advances shall be made through such
agencies as the Secretary of Agricul
ture may designate, and in such a
mounts as such agencies, with the ap
proval of the Secretary of Agriculture,
may determine. Any parson who shall
knowingly make any material false
representation for the purpose of ob
taining. an advance or loan, or in as
sisting in obtaining such advance or
|oan under thia aection shall, upon
conviction thereof, be punished by a
fine of not exceeding SI,OOO, or by im
prisonment not exceeding six months,
or both.
A number of Martin farmers have
already inquired after the loans, and as
soon as the details are made complete
they will be made .public.

Part in Poll Here
Vote "Wet"
That Williamston ii votng "wet'' in
the national prohibition poll being con
ducted by a well-known magazine, was
established ai a fact this week when

was learned that 25 local people cast
their ballot* in one day this week.
Complete returns might alter the ra
tio, but they are not available.
One of those voting, a confirmed
"dry," or reliably rated as such, fav
ored repeal of the prohibition amend
ment, and another, a confirmed "wet,"
with years of experience to his credit,
stood by his guns and voted "wet"
also. But it is tit for tat, as a "wet"

A suit for $25,000 was filed this week
by Mr. Edgar Johnson, Robersonville

an automobile-truck accident on the
Wilson-Goldsboro highway the latter
part of last year, it was learned yes

againstth e Hoffler-Boney Transfer
Company, of Wallace, N. C.
When questioned this week one of
the plaintiff's attorneys stated that he

it would be scheduled for trial at the
April term of the Martin County Su

to as special. It was reported shortly
after the accident back in November
that the transfer company carried (la

CHURCH SCHOOL
BEGINS SESSIONS
MONDAY NIGHT
Sessions "Open To Every
One; School Will Be
Non-denominational
- —•
The mid-winter church school,
planned to be thoroughly non-de
nominational and community wide,
begins its first session in the Baptist
church here Monday evening, prompt
ly at 7:30 o'clock.
There has been assembled a cap
able faculty from the several churches
of the town, and there will be five de
partments, graded as nearly as possible
to the ages of the people attending.
Every effort is being m»de to guaran
tee that this school shall be as popu
lar as those which have preceded it,
and that the work done shall be of
such nature to make a notable con
tribution to tlje church and Sunday
school life of the entire community.
The sessions are open, of course, to
everyone, and to all who care to come.
The Reverened J. M. Perry, pastor
of the local Christian church, has been
asked to lead the congregational sing
ing each evening. At the close of the
school, on Friday night, a big com
munity church social is planned, the
various groups having their social
hour in different places. One group
will remain at the 'church, another
adjourn to the woman's club rooms,
while another group will go to the
Presbyterian church, etc. At this
closing social session, ' refreshments
will be served and musical programs
rendered, and entertainment provided.
So far as is known there are no
other special services in Williamston
during that week. The school has
been planned so that it would come
after the monthly tests at the public
schools. None of the sessions will
last for more than one hour—the
younger groups not remaining that
long.
There are no books to be bought,
no examinations to be taken and
nothing to be done except a united
effort to stimulate the church and
Sunday school forces of the com
munity to a new sense of their op
portunities, obligations and privileges
in religious service.
And judging by the attendance at
the previous winter church schools,
the attendance will be large. It is the
desire of those putting on the school
that it be for everyone who wishes to
attend. And since the course is non
denominational and non-sectarian, it
offers an opportunity for Williams
ton's church and Sunday school people
to get together for a week on a worth
while undertaking.

GET READY FOR
FISHING SEASON
—»
Few Small Catches At This
Point Are Reported
Every Day
With warm weather prevailing, fish
ermen along the Roanoke are busying
themselves preparing nets and fishing
machines, but so far only small catches
have been reported at this point.
Catches numbering from two to ten
herring have been reported, fishermen
giving more time to preparatory work
than they are to fishing itself. One
or two machines are in operation a
long the banks near Hie river bridge,
but catches are few and far between.
Continued warm weather and high
water in the Roanoke are indicative
"of one of the earliest fishing seasons
ever known here.
Individuals out of jobs are turning

of the survey, and fewer still have
even given it a careful study.

SMALL FARMERS
RAISE BULK OF
CROP LOCALLY
One-third Decrease Means
a Reduction .of About
6,000 Acres
*■
That there will he a marked decrease
planted to tobacco this coming season
in Martin County is nut likely, accord
ing to information, gathered this week
from a large number of farmers over
a wide section..
It is understood that farmers oper
ating large tracts of land are planning
a fair-sized reduction in the crop, but
as there are only a few such farmers
ill this county, no great decrease in to
bacco acreage can be .expected on
those farms. Another fair-sized reduc
tion i! going to result among tenant
and poorer class farmers who can not
finance their operations and who will
he unable to get aid from time mer
chants outside sources. There are
many such farmers, but the number
is not as great as one is le| to believe,
| and it isn t hardly reasonable to expect
ja great reduction oil those farms. Then
.there are 941 farmers, according to the
11930 census, who cultivate their own
lands. No marked reduction "can be
expected there because this class, as
| a whole, generally plants only a suf
ficient amount to supply one curing
| barn. With them, it is either plant
I the same number*of acres or cut out
the crop altogether. The farmer who
has crowded.- front 13 to 15 acres of
j tobacco into two bams- might cut
down his crop to where lie will only
have front 5 to 6 acres to the barn,
and if there are *'4l such tanners, then
the acreage reduction on those farms
I will be no more than 1,882 acres;'
| According to the latest census rc
,ports, there are around 12() farmers
I in this county who hardly have enough
j land to phtnt one acre to each crot>
| Allowing that each of these 120 farm
I ers raised six acres of tobacco last
year, then. supposing that not'one of
that number will raise a stalk of the
weed this year, your acreage reduc
tion will be for them only around 720
acres. I hat decrease is hardly more
I than a drop in the bucket, considering
that Martin County has, since 1929,
' planted around 18,000 acres yearly to
| tobacco.
There are around 50 farmers oper
ating farms ranging in size from' 260
to 500 acres, an average of about .170
acres for each farmer. The average
acreage planted to tobaccTi oil those
farms in the past will hardly exceed
100 acres per farm, and allowing 30
acres of land for eac' worlt aftinial
and () acres of tobacco in each aiule,
the average tobacco ati.-.u;r ..u those
farms will be around 78 aires. If
/those 50 farmers cut their crop in half,
the resulting acreage (I ere fse'i will he
only 1,900 acres.
Estimating the afreatv "di rease a
mong the 120 farmers who can not
finance themselves at 7.2 i -acres, and
the decrease among tlio: farmers who
generally use one or two barns at
2,000 acres, and that among the 50
farmers who cultivate around 370
acres of land on an average at 2,000
acres, then the total reduction will be
4,720 acres'. If there were 18,000 acres
planted to the crop last year, this 4,-
720 acres will not represent a one-third
decrease, and to get it to one-third,
the farmers will have to go and mark
off just about UOO inor*;, acres.
Will the tobacco acreage in Martin
County this year be reduced 33 per
cent below last year's crop That is
a question for the farmers to answer,
but it is believed by many that it will
not be decreased that much.
China is spending many thousands
of dollars fighting off Japan. It is
reasonable to .believe, that its more
than four hundred millions of people
will havi less money next year with
which to buy tobacco than they have
now. That might affect 1932 prices,
but who knows? Taking everything
as a whole, it looks as if the tobacco
farmers haven't a Chinaman's chance,
and look how he is faring now.
In addition to the serious situation
existing in the world markets, there
is an Increase in stocks of leaf tobacco
held by dealers and manufacturers, ac
cording to a report released yesterday
by tlie United. States Department of
Agriculture. The report show's that
there are now 2,012,780,000 pounds of
tobacco on hand as compared with 1,-
853,476,000 pounds on hand a year ago.
