PAGE FOUR EVENTS MOVED RAPIDLY IN PAST THREE MONTHS New Administration Has Made Wonderful Rec- ord So Far It is rather difficult to realize that the new administration came into pow er less than three months ago. So rapidly have events moved, and so definite and manifold have been leg islative proposals designed to sttart and speed recovery that the Roosevelt policies seem to have dominated the country longer than they really have. A survey of what has been accoin plished is interesting It reveals: Taxation: The economy act "gave the president powers to reduce gov ernmental costs. Steps taken have saved $400,000,000 a year in compen sation and pension payments, and SIOO (KX),000 in Federal salaries. Depart ment reorganizations to save an ad tional $(.00,000,000, Prohibition: Beer has been legalized. The President also recently issued a declaration in favor of the uncondi tional repeal movement. Agriculture: The new farm bill, re cently passed, embraces: Provisions for reduction of acreage, taxes on wheat, corn, cotton, hogs, and other basic farm products to bring prices to a parity with the general price lev el, and control of marketing through licenses and supervised agreements a mung producers, processors, and dis tributors. Pending now is a proposal for refinancing of farm mortgages. Tariff: The President, through the Washington conferences, has achieved a tariff truce among the major nations to last until the world economic con ference has been completed, and is expected to use the power of the United States to create agreements for stimulating world trade. Unemployment: A Civilian Conser-' vation Corps has bene created to pro vide work for 250,000 men in the na- ] tional forests. A draft for a national public works program on a gigantic scale has been prepared. Moves are on foot to create a new relationship between government and business, to lift anti-trust law provisions to per mit industrial expansion and eliminate needless waste that conies from cut throat competition. National defence: Cuts in army and propriations will total approximately $146,000,000 Final derision on mil itary expenditures wil depend on agree ments made with' other powers. Banking: Following the national bank holiday, the President took the United States oft the gold standard by forbidding shipment of gold abroad, refusing to pay United States obliga tions in gold, and by making the hoard ing of gold or gold certificates a major felony. Plans are now on foot for I Timber is an essential part of the ' equipment of every farm and any ra tional farm program ust include the 'growing of timber for home use with legislation to guarantee payment of de 1 a surplus for sale. posits in solvent banks.

Soupd Banking and Trust Service for Eastern Carolina SCORES MADE IN HEALTH CONTEST Pitt County Girl Is Winner With Score of 100; Mar tin Entry Fourth The original scores of the girls en | tering the district contest were as fol lows: Mildred Taylor, from Pitt | County, champion, score 10(1; Ida Eliz abeth Johnson, Johnston County, 99 1 1-2; Margaret Asbell, Chowan County, i 98; Mary E.

Stal lings, Edgecombe, 93. The State winner in the health contest last year received a score of 95.75. The above girls were exam ined by Z. L. Edwards, dentist, in Washington; H. W. Carter, M. D., eye, ear, throat, and nose specialist; land Dr. D. E. Ford, of Washington. The three highest scoring girls were also examined by Dr. DeWitt Klutz, Dr. Josh- Tayloe, and Dr. Dave Tay loe. The physicians reported this group of girls to surpass any ever ex amined in' a district health contest. It is to be hoped that the losers will try even harder to bring their scores up another year. 3 COUNTY GIRLS FINISH AT E.C.T.C. Two From Robersonville, One From Hassell, Get Diplomas Last Week Three Martin County young girls, Misses Beatrice Stalls, of Roberson ville: Delha Ross, of Robersonville, and Thelma Edmondson, of Hassell, were graduated from the East Caro lina Teacher's College in Greenville last week. Two of the young ladies, Misses Stalls and Ross, were gradu ated from the Robersonville school. Miss Edmondson was graduated from the Bethel; school. While Martin County had a very small number to graduate as com pared with Pitt's 25 and those from other counties, it has many students HI - the school who will be receiving diploas/af the institution ere long. Seventy-seven students, 75 women and 2 men, received bachelor of arts degrees at the institution this week, when Dr. Will Durant, the noted philosopher, made the finals address.

It is affirmed that Mr. Roosevelt will not use this unprece dented power unless, in his opinion, Mo other avenues are left. It is obvious that the success of any administration depends on the sup port of Congress and the friendliness of the general public. So far, Mr ' Roosevelt has bad both, indeed. Re cently the first signs of organized op« position appeared. As yet this oppo sition has been powerless in coinbat | ling the White House influence, and | the President, is easily assured of de | sired support. ODD - BUT TRUE —i itn m xow pocwat MDOHT wmi m.

A. Cobb, cotton adminis trator, who has been making a sur \ey of conditions in-the south, the de partment of agriculture recently an nounced that a preliminary cotton conference would be held. Those in vited represented all the groups di rectly concerned, such as the manu facturers, growers, buyers, and ex porters. The conference dealt with such questions as acreage reduction, the processing tax, as provided in the allotment bill, and kindred subjects,, and while general policies were given consideration, this was not the con ference contemplated under the new farm relief act, which would be ex pected to make final decisions. While in the South Mr. Cobb con ferred with a number of the state managers of the farm extension serv ice, and was given the information that the planters in many sections have expressed a willingness to "go a lung" with any plans looking to a re duction of acreage this year, even if this should call for the plowing up of a good deal of cotton, and the plant ing of feed and soil building crops. Tutting a plan of this kind into ex ecution would cost the government, or cotton mill Owners, byway of the processing tax, $100,000,000 or more, if, as Secretary Wallace has suggest ed, 10,000,000 acres should be taken out of cultivation, the production con trol necessary to remove the surplus problem. Of course, the department is not entirely penniless, it can boast the possession of $100,000,000 under the new law, and then it would prob ably be possible for Secretary Wal lace to secure a loan from the Secre tary of the Treasury, provided he and the director of the budget bu reau can see a satisfactory amount of tax money in prospect. It would be possible to finance * land-leasing program without invok ing the allotment plan at this time, but a group of Southern senators are still urging the adoption of an amend ment to the national recovery act, de signed to divert $200,000,000 to farm relief, an amount that would enable the department to do some land leas ing in the wheat and corn states, as well as in the South.

THE ENTERPRISE Green Feed or Cod Liver Oil Is Needed by Pullets If there is an abundant supply of succulent green feed during th» sum mer and the ration is properly bal anced, cod liver oil may be left out of the ration for growing pullets. Dur ing the dry months, however, the grass or green feed becomes fibrous and unpalatable and the oil should be fed. A four per cent alfalfa leaf meal will also aid in making up this de ficiency in the green feed. Grain Mixture Needed To Supplement Grass Ration The average-sired cow can only enough grass to maintain he body and to produce about two gal lons of milk a day. Additional pro duction demands a supplement in the form of a grain mixture containing from 13 to 16 per cent digestible pro tein and this should be fed at the rate of one pound of mixture to each 5 to 7 pounds of total milk production each day.
