THE ENTERPRISE PAY AS YOU GO FARM SYSTEM IN CRAVENCOUNTY Strict Economy and Wise Planning Called For By New Method Craven County farmers have started a pay-as-you-go system of farming this season in which they endeavor to pay cash for alt farm operations and have enough between season crops and livestock or poultry to keep the farm on a cash basis. The plan calls for Strict economy and wise planning but Craven farm ers have had experience in economy since the epidemic of bank failures and other reverses have thrown them largely on their own resources. The record of the Craven County Farm ers' Mutual Exchange has already been of inspiration to other groups of landowners in North Carolina and the formation of the new saving and loan association is another movement that is attracting attention. C. B. Farris, county farm agent of Craven, says it is rather hard to en visage the farmers of his county be ing on a pay-as-you-go basis when it is realized that 354 of them applied for $55,235.44 in government seed loans yet it is a fact, he says, that new money to the extent of $18,203.92 has come to the county by reason of between crops, fat steers, fat hogs, pouttry and eggs. The Gaskins community of near Vanceboro is the best example of the pay-as-you-go type of farming. This is due largely to the inspiration of young Rudolph Gaskins who has found that he can grow early truck and other crops to fit in with his scheme of cash crops without sacri ficing anything to the new idea. The income from those sideline crops has already meant $4,200 to the commun ity and will maan more when the 300 acres now planted to beans, early sweet corn, squash and early sweet potatoes come into boaring. Other farmers are selling eggs, poaHry, hogs and steers to pay their wey an a cash basis. Mrs. Mae Mr- I llwean of the BeUair community has j put their farm on a cash basis by an income of SSO a week from sales at the New Bern curb market. URGES FARMERS TO ORGANIZE TO BUY CHEAPLY Farmers Need Business Or ganization in Every County # There should be in Martin Coun ty as well as in every county in North Carolina a farmers' business organi zation with every rural community af tihated as a unit of the county system, according to information sent here to ilay by L. C. Salter, of the division of markets in the North Carolina De partment of Agriculture. "The problem of the farmers is not only the economical production of crops and livestock but also the eco nomical buying of supplies, materials and equipment needed in production and the economical selling of crqps and livestock onee they are produced. "It is the farmers' job to set up their cooperative marketing organiza tions. But there is needed leadership, training and education. And it ap pears now after considerable thought and study of the work that the or ganizations generally known as the mutual exchange is the need of Mar tin County. "Mutual exchanges are incorporat ed organisations. Each member shares in the profits of the organiza tion in proportion to the amount of business done through it by him. No individual can own more than 20 per cent of the stock. Each member has only one vote regardless of the number of shares he owns. "The purposes of the organization are to market agricultural products; buy farm supplies and equipment; de velop group marketing and group pur chasing, and teach standardization and grading in connection with marketing activities. "The operation of mutual market l in| organizations in any event should he conducted upon sound business principles. Persons of responsibility and integrity should manage the or ganization. Purposes of the organi zation should be agreed upon l»y the membership and should be adhered to strictly. "The chief functions of these ex changes ia to market farm products for its members. As a rule there i» not enough volume of each crop to justify commodity organizations. So the farmer is more interested in an or ganization that will handle all of his crops. Commodities should be hand led by departments and dividends from each kept separate. "In performing the function of mar keting one of the best services is the assembling, grading and packing of produce for marketing. This service is invaluable and is performed by the organization more economically than by the individual. "The chief advantage of these ex changes is the ability to provide mar kets for the many crops grown by the suuge farmer. Than, too, it is a lo cal affair and local members can set tle thair grievances much quicker and more satisfactorily than by a large overhead organization at a distance. WIU.IAMSTON ||AA«|| gajMl |||« NEW FRIGID AIRE MODELS SHOWN Featured This Month By Dealers Throughout United States The newest and latest household electric rtfrigecators built by Frigid aire Corporation are feeing featured this month tktaughout the United States by dealers of this organisation, who are conducting their annual spring showing. The Electric Supply Company, local dealer, is tying in with the national demonstration and is exhibiting as a part of his special May display a food thrift exhibit, which dramatises in a most effective manner the large saving which Frigideire users have been able to effect through the economies this electric refrigerator makes possible. "A survey made some time ago a knong Frigidaire users showed that their average savings was $9.% a month,'' he said. "At the present price of foodstuffs, such a sum will buy a surprising amount of provisions. There j is no doubt but that the cost of living , has come down. "At the same time the cost of a I'rigidaire has been lowered consider ably, too. Some time ago this com pany announced sweeping price reduc tions affecting its entire line of house hold models. One unit is now list ed at tiie factory at $l3O. "Today, as a result, a Frigidaire. with all the known value it represents, can be had at the lowest price in the history of the company. And, best of all, this electric refrigerator will ac tually pay for itself out of the savings it makes possible." TO HOLD SHORT COURSE IN JULY Several Martin County Club Members Expect To Attend Taking the dates formerly occupied by the State Farmers Convention, rep resentative 4-11 chili girls' and boys will gather at State College during the week of July 25 to 30 for their an nual short course and federation meet ing. Approximately, 800 young folks are expected to attend, some from Martin County. In sending out his announcement to county, home and I'aoii agents -this, week, state club leader L. R. Harrill says the college dormitories will be opened for the delegates on Monday, July 25, with the first meal being serv ed at supper that evening. Club dele gates and local leaders will be sup plied rooms free of charge as in the past but must bring their bed cloth ing and necessary toilet articles. Kach dormitory will be in charge of an ex perienced chaperon and adult leader. Due to lack of dormitory rooms, only active -club members who have done satisfactory work during the past year will be eligible to attend. The girls will be selected -on the basis of (the representative from each 25 mem bers. However, a club with less than 25 members will be permitted to send a delegate. Aside from the rather elaborate rec reational program being planned, the girls and boys will spend 'some time structipn will be given in those lines in which the members are active in their club projects back home. This instruction Will be somewhat advanced but will !*• designed to aid the yoqng folks in their club activities. Partic ular emphasis will be placed* on com munity work, recration, and rural liic.. The evening meetings on the campus will as usual he the most interesting features. Mr. Ilarrill says it is the plan to have delegates from all parts of the State so that the club idea may be emphasized in every community. "More of' these exchanges ary be ing ffirmed every week. And each /eounty should have one," concluded Mr. Salter. 1 could not sleep MTHERE were days when I felt like I could not get my work t done.

Is there any type of tobacco that is immune to blue mold? A. No. The disease was first dis covered in Australia and exhaustive studies have been made for control, but no species has been reported that is immune or even resistant. The only remedy or control known to scientists is spraying with Bordeaux Mixture and this is recommended for all beds showing infection." Q. Can dahlias be grown success fully in all sections of North Caro- A. Yes, but the climate of the moun tains and upper piedmont is more favorable. The disadvantage in clim ate, however, can be largely offset by proper culture and mulching, careful watering, and the selection of varieties that are not easily burned by the hot sun or troubled with leaf hoppers. Q. The milk from my cow is ropy after it sours. Can you tell me the trouble and give me a remedy? A. A slimy or ropy condition in milk is brought about by the growth of bacteria and usually does not appear until 12 to 24 hours after the milk is drawn. The bacteria may come from the water in which the utensils were rinsed, from lust in the barn at milk ing time, or occasionally from an in fected udder. the infection conies from the udder, it can be elim inated by the practice of good sanitary measures which consist of milking in a place comparatively free from dust, cleaning the cow's rear tlanks and udder with a damp cloth, and handling the tnilk in vessels that have been thoroughly washed and sterilized.

There had been a wide-spread be lief, Martin said, that the average number of pupils per teacher next year would have to be more than it was this year or more than 31,6 pu pils per teacher. The reverse, however, he said, will probably be true. There is every in dication the number of pupils per teacher will be less, Martin said an addition of 400 to 500 teachers for the next term by the board of equalization and a "normal attendance year" will bring*thrs about. The past year was abnormal in at tendance, he said, as 'the daily average attendance showed the unusually high increase of nearly 20,000 to 7lT),000.
