The Peanut Situation
The peanut production this year will be reduced
considerably on account of the recent rains. Peanuts
were said, to be coming off the vines badly before the
rains began With a fairly good percentage of the
crop not dug at the time, and from 20 to 30 per cent
of the nuts coming off in the ground, a considerable
reduction in the yield can be looked for.
The prospective low price will not justify picking
up the loose peanuts, especially where hogs can be
turned on them. The price should be influenced by
this shortage. Farmers should be careful not to rush
peanuts on the market this year. The price is too
low to rush them on.
The idea of everybody selling their peanuts as soon
as the crop is harvested is unsound. A few early
sellers may fare all right; on the other hand, if a large
proportion of the farmers sell just as soon as the crop
is ready, the market will break until the peanuts will
go for nothing. It is true that for a number of re
cent years peanuts have not rallied very much above
the opening prices, but this can be explained by the
fact that we have had declining prices on every com
modity. Now, peanuts are too low, and we need not
fear a lower price, but have some reason to hope for
better prices, if we do not get panicky and throw the
whole crop on the market at one time.
Tobacco Prices Still Too Low
Reports for the Bright Belt tobacco markets indi
cate an average price of about 50 to 60 percent, above
those paid the farmers last year. About two-thirds
of the crop has already been sold in the eastern end
of the State.
It is understood that a few of the larger companies
have bought very little tobacco so far and now realize
the crop is almost sold out. Kvery indication points
to a scarcity of tobacco before another crop can be
grown. Of course prices are higher than they were
last season. Yet, prices are lower than they have
been in ten years, based on the size of the crop. The
unallness of the price paid for the unusually short
crop this year certainly disproved to some extent the
old law of supply and demand.
Prices should go up on the last end of the last end
of the season, which is rapidly coming to a close.

Local Relief Work Best
President Hoover urges each community to help its
own needy people. This is one fine suggestion com
ing from the president. It places each case in the
hands of those who best know the extent of the need.
The system of allowing whomsoever will come up
and ask alms gives the unworthy a good opportunity
to get assistance intended for others. There are some
people too proud or too timid to beg, while there are
many who are selfish and mean enough to get things
any way they can.
The home folks know best the deserving needy and
can dispense charity at a much lower cost than if the
gates are opened to all, which will mean the helping
of many unworthy people.
Don't forget that there are some people who had
rather beg than work. That class needs to go hungry
and cold.
Gambling at the State Fair
The Greensboro Daily News was pretty caustic in
-its recent editorial dig at Raleigh over the gambling
at the State Fair.
The type of gambling that took place there was
perhaps pretty much the same kind that has been
employed by the shows and carnivals for SO years,
yet it does look like they took in a little more terri
tory this year than usual.
They always pick up a few scamps to help them
fool the folks, but, according to what the papers say,
they went into the official ranks and bought out the
Fair's police force, including the chief of them, a
member of the North Carolina legislature, and a jus
tice of the peace and coroner of Wake County. After
hearing the open charges against these men, supposed
ly men of honor and truth, we just wonder if nonesty
and self-respect has ever been at a lower ebb among
civilized people.
It is said of the officers that they not only shielded
the gamblers, but that they arrested persons who
complained to them and charged them with gambling.
It is further charged that they shielded the concession
aires to the extent that they permitted them to beat
up and intimidate poor and ignorant people, who,
after being fleeced, threatened to have officers inves
tigate the games. The whole incident proves that
the fair carnival is a curse. It should also be an
other warning to never bet a man on his own tricks.
Our homes, our schools, and our churches should
teach the danger and curse of gambling. Playing the
stock market is gambling; dicing for drinks is gam
bling; playing for prizes at bridge parties is gambling.
The only difference in the latter case is that the par
ticipant does not put up anything to play the game
and does not lose anything if he does not win. At
such places the germ of gambling grows.
Now, while the Greensboro News seems inclined to
take a dig at Raleigh, it is a disgrace to allow such
things to happen to people at our own State Fair.
Plant Crops Before the Election
Those cover crops should be planted before the
election next month. We should remember that po
litical prosperity Comes to only a few people. And
while we need a big change in many ways, we must
not lose sight of the fact that a turnip patch or a
plenty of collards in the garden will do the average
family more good than a multitude of political
promises. All those farmers who use their lands,
their tools and their team properly will generally get
along better than those who put all their hope in poli
tics.
Don't wait too late to sow rye, oats, and other fall
and winter crops; it will be of value to your land and
at the same time there'll be feed for the stock.
