SLOW TO SIGN UP
IN COUNTY FOR
SALE OF PEANUTS
Halifax County Signs More
Than 10,000 Bags At
Two Meetings
_ "While thousands of bags of peanut*
have been signed up in the farmers'
exchange now in the process of forma
tion for handling peanuts in the pes*
nut areas of the country, none has been
signed here as far as it could be learn
ed this week. Just what efforts will
be made from now until September,
when the time for formation is over,
about creating an exchange in this
county are not known.
At a county meeting held in the
courthouse a few weeks ago, the few
farmers there expressed themselves as
being heartily in favor of ike ex
change, «nd went so far as to pledge
their time and effort in carrying the
proposition to the several communi
ties of the county. According to last
reports not a community meeting has
been held and it is not known wheth
er or not those selected to head the
exchange in this county will accept.
The organization task is no little one,
and it is hoped that the 10,000 or 12,000
bag sign-up necessary .to assure the
operation of the exchange in this coun
ty can be had long before the time is
spent for the organization of the mar
keting system.
From over in Halifax conies a re
port stating that nearly 10,000 bags of
the 1932 crop were signed up at two
community meetings recently, indicat
ing that that county will more than
subscribe its quota. Other counties
in the eastern North Carolina peanut
section are going ahead with the sign
up, it is understood, and it is hoped
that Martin farmers will interest them
selves more in the proposed exchange.
A. L. Gibson, Federal Farm Board
representative, pointed out in a talk
jn this county a few weeks ago that
one of the largest crops ever attempt
ed in this country was now in
making, and that unless some market
ing arrangements were made it would
be advisable for -farmers to not dig
their peanuts but leave them in the
fields for the hogs.
County Farm Agent T. B. Brandon
has a number of contracts and he will
be glad to explain th& regulations
therein to any farmer wishing to en
ter into the exchange. He is also
available to hold meetings in the sev
eral communities where the proposi
tion can be explained and discussed
before a group of farmers interested
in the movement. !
PLAN CANNING
MEETS IN JULY
Definite Schedule of Meets
Will Be Worked Out
and Announced
By Miaa Lora E. Sleeper, Agmt
It ha* come to my attention this
week that many of the women in the
county are still persisting in using pre
servatives for canning. Canning meet
ings will be held in July, and all wo
men are invited to attend. A definite
schedule of meetings will be worked
out for the benefit of each woman in
the county. In the meantime, women
canning non-acid vegetables, tuch as
string-beans, squash, butter beans,
okra, corn, and butter beans, are urged
to use the intermittent process for
canning wherever the steam pressure
cooker is not available. One hour
from the garden to the can is a good
rule. Begin with fresh vegetables al
ways.
Blanche string beans in boiling wa
ter 3 to 5 minutes, pack in hot ster
ilised jars, add 1 teaspoon salt for each
quart jar, partially seal and place in
the water bath. Water should come
to the shoulder of the jar. Count from
time water boils 1 hour and 20 min
utes; seal jar securely and let cool.
The second day process the jar again
1 hour and 20 minutes without un
sealing the jar. The third day do
this again and this becomes the only
surety of killing possible spore-form
ing bacteria. Non-acid vegetables be
come poisonous to the human body
when not properly canned.

U.S. PRESS SPENT
$600,000 TO COVER
G.O.P. GATHERING
More Than 700 Journalists
Write 5,000,000 Words
About Convention
Although the Republican National
Convention was commonly referred to
as a "cut and dried thing" or a ratify
ing group, it cost the United States
press $600,000 to tell the people that
was what it was. More than 700 jour
nalists were there, sending more than
5,000,000 words back home for the
folks to read and learn all about a
gathering of human beings that acted
more as jackasses than as humans.
And the braying isn't all over, for the |
Democrats opened yesterday what
'sounded more like a brawl than a con
tention for the nomination of a candi
date for the United States presidency.
| The Republicans had a problem on
I their hands two weeks ago all right.
They either had to renominate Mr.
Hoover or admit failure. No doubt
they hated to do it, but they nominat
ed Mr. Hoover and Mr. Curtis again.
And while the Republicans were pon
dering over their problems two weeks
ago, the Democrats this week are try
ing to pacify the nearly a doien selfish
politicians who are seeking the nomi
nation each for himself regardless of
harmony in the long-disturbed Demo
cratic gang.
It might be that the Democrats will
center on Franklin D. Roosevelt, nomi
nate him, talk about the Republicans
and then return home within a few
days. On the other hand, it might be
that they will argue and wrangle for'
weeks and destroy whatever oppor-'
tunities there are for a Democratic vic
tory next November.

MANY THANKS

By CHARLES H. DICKEY
"What do you think of the Enter
prise force in your town?" It was
Frank Smethurst speaking—managing
editor of the News and Observer.
"From Snowball right on up," I an
swered, "they're all right."
"How do you get along with them?"
he queried.
"Best you ever saw," I answered.
"I've never asked them for anything
yet without getting it. And I'd turn
every last one of 'em a trick if I could,
day or night."
Then Mr. Smethurst said, "I think
the Enterprise editorial page is the
best editorial page in the State." „
"You mean, of course," I said, "that
it's the best page among the smaller
papers?"
"No," he said, "I don't mean that.
It is my reasoned judgment that it is
the best editorial page in North Car
olina today—weekly or daily."
"That's saying a good deal," I re
marked.
"I know it/' he said. "But that's

AGED WOMAN OF
HAMILTON DIED
FRIDAY, JUNE 24
Mrs. Lucy Eleanor Council
Funeral Held at Home
In Hamilton Sunday
i /
Mrs. Lucy Eleanor Council, a mtm
(ber of one of Martin County'* oldest
and most prominent families, died in
a Rocky Mount hospital last Fri
day following a brief illness. Death
resulted from an enlargement of the
I spleen and a complication of diseases.
Up until a few days ago, Mrs. Council
was very active, even though she had
passed the 70-year mark in life. She
was removed to the hospital the early
part of last week, and was thought to
have been getting along very well un
til she suddenly grew worse and died
Friday afternoon about 4 o'clock.
Mrs. Council, daughter of the late J.
W. and Martha Martin Winberry, was
born and reared near Hamilton. In
early womanhood she was married to
Wiley Council, (who difcd about 25
years ago. A number of years ago
the family moved to Hamilton, where
she enjoyed a large friendship. For
nearly SO years she was a member of
the Baptist church there-
Funeral services were conducted
from the late home Sunday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock by Rev. Mr. Smith,
pastor of the Baptist church there.
Interment was in the Council ceme

She leaves two daughters. Miss Mar

WOODLANDS OF
COUNTY YIELD
LARGE INCOME
» ——
County Farmers Received
$161,199 Gross Return
During 1929
Br R. W. QRAEBER
Extension Forester
Many people will be aurprised to learn
just what the farm woodlands in Mar
tin County give the farmers in the
way of income. According to the lat
est figures available, the U. S. Census
Report for the year 1929, the harvest
of farm forest products for that year
was as follows: 1,867,000 board feet
of lumber and logs; 30,531 cords of
firewood; 5,866 fence posts; and 158
poles and piling.
It is rather difficult to figure the
value of these products because many
of them were used by the farmer him
self. But figured at the common mar
ket price at that time, the total value
of these forest products to the Mar
tin County woodland owners was a
bout $161,199.
This is quite a sizable income to re
ceive in one year from the one por
tion of these farma—the one crop—
which has received no care, no fertility
er or cultivation, and costs only the
normal tax on those acres.
Give the woods an "even break."
This is the only part of the farm that
produces a crop without care, fertiliza
tion or cultivation. In seasons of
drought or excessive rains, it keeps
right on growing. Late or early frosts,
or the severest winter weather does
not jjpjure it. When all other crops
fail, the farm woodland carries on its
job of producing wood. And though
the owner slashes it to pieces with
careless and wasteful cutting, this one
crop comes right back for more.
Certainly, a crop that will do this
deserves encouragement and better
treatment than many farmers usually
give it. All it requires is protection
from fire and a little more care in cut
tlng operations. Your county agent
can tell you how to give this crop a
"fair chance" in its effort to produce
a reasonable share of the farm income.
