MANY BEHIND
IN FARM WORK
Delayed by Unusually Cold
and Wet Weather; Not
Delayed by wet and unusually cold
weather, farmers in many sections of
the county are considerably behind
in their preliminary farming activities.
The delay is not considered with any
degree of scriousnesss, however. It
is believed that with favorable weath
cr for the next few days, the farmers
iTT have ample time to prepare and
complete their early plantings.
Present indications point to the
early transplanting of the tobacco
crop this season. An abundance of
plants is reported by nearly every
farmer, and many of them will be
ready for transplanting between the
first and tenth of next month, if no
unforeseen developments present them
?elves between now and then. No
sign of the blue mold has been report
ed so far, but the season is not far
enough advanced for the mold.
State crop reporting services state
that the general crop average is prob
ably below that of a year ago, but the
outlook for farm products is far more
encouraging than at lhat time.

LEAF OUTLOOK
IS DISCUSSED
BY UNCLE BUCK
Sees Average Price of 22 to
25 Cents for Farmers If
Reduction Occurs
?
By W. T. MEADOWS
I sec Brother Frank Hancock,
representing the Greensboro district
in Congress, has taken a back track.
Hancock said, When Governor J. C.
B. Ehringhaus and the boy9 were
tunning up tu Washington and stay*
ing for weeks at a time, to get some
thing for the tobacco farmers in the
Bright Belt that all the talk you boys
are putting out won't get you any
where, and you wori't get a cent. La
nier, member AAA from Pitt Coun
ty, says Frank you are wrong. Wal
lace, head of the shebang, said, Frank,
you are wrong. Huston, head of the
tobacco division at Washington, says
Frank, you are wrong. After con
sulting his constiutents for three or
four months, Frank said he was
wrong, and now is fighting the other
way.
But what of these contracts that
were sent up to Washington? I un
derstand that all but 14 came back
to Martin County.- All but 40 came
back to Bertie, and all of them in
Pitt. Now, the farmers hs a whole
were honest in- their returns and its
wrong for the government to censor
a good class of people for making re
' turns covering three years when 99
percent of them had destroyed their
rhills, and had to make them for
1931 and '1932 froWW^gut^-work. The
farmers are not bookkeepers,'ifoTr
are they C. P. A s I don't deny that
a few of them went in to chisel the
governTnent for there's grand rascals
in all walks of life, but less among
the farmers than in any other class.
Well, we haven't any money yet,
but as Andy and Amos say, it's in the
bag, but it's taking* a long time ta*gdt'
it out.
Well, let's see what is going on in
the tobacco world. Cigarettes have
about reached a normal sale again.
Sales of smoking, chewing and snuff
have increased. Exports have in
creased as much as 30 percent to
some eountries. What more could
we ask for. As for domestic and
foreign trade we arc sitting in the
boat to perefection if some fellow
don't rock it.
Well, what about the 1934 crop of
bright tobacco. Mr. Huston says it
will be cut 26 percent below the 1933
crop. Frank Parker of the crop re
| porting service at?Raleigh, says this
state will be cut 30 percent; South
Carolina 27 percent and there'll be
no change in Georgia, Florida and
Virginia will be cut 26 percent. We
produced approximately 510 millions
of pounds in this state with probably
the greatest yield per acre made in
years last yeai.?Seasons were good
in all the belts in the State in 1933,
something you can't bet on tn 1934.
It might be bad in one belt, fair in
another and good in another. Any
way you may count on 5 to 10 per
cent cut for these conditions, making
the reduction nearer 35 and even 40
percent. Well, you can figure on 35
1934 crop. Get you pounds ware
housemen and others that are inter
ested and figure out what the pound
age in North Carolina will be this
year.
Some of my friends in the tobacco
business, independent dealers say that
they expect to ail down on about six
million pounds of the 1933 tfro
f
un
. til the 1934 crop is raifced and mark
eted, and I predict they will make a
I killing, for if everything works out
like they say it will, you may look
for an average of from 22 to 25 cents
this year, and there will be no trou
ble getting your rebate from the gov
ernment. They have been fixed for
1934 as follows, 17 1-2 cents for the
acres you throw out, all the balance
the crop brings besides a cash bonus
of 12 1-2 percent of the total dollars
and cents. Let's see how thia will
work. Suppose -you Intend to plant
ten acrest The government cuts you
to seven acres and pays you 17 1-2
for the three acres they make you
cut out. Then they give you all the
money the seven acres bring besides
a bonus of 12 1-2 per cent on the
dollars and cents the seven acres
bring. There will be hereafter this
/ear's acreage; it's all fixed provided
you can get 1933 straight. It's up to
you.

COUNTY BOARD
HOLDS MEETING
HERE SATURDAY
?
Filing Fees for Some Coun
ty Offices Not Yet
Determined
?
| Arrangements lor-holding elections
| in this county during the next two
years?were completed last Saturday
Imorning, when the county board of
elections named the precinct officials
and discussed several other problems
that will be referred to the state au
thorities for consideration. After
taking the oath, the members made
Mr. Sylvester Peel chairman, and Mr.
C. B. Fagan secretary. Mr. J. R.
Wflnslow, of Robersonville, a third
member of the board, was present.
While the filing fees for candidates
are based upon the amount of salary
paid by the particular office, except in
those cases where a flat fee is charged,
the election officials were not certain
as to how a basis could be determined
for two or three offices in this coun
ty. The laws sets a certain salary
scale, but in this county the employees
are receiving a salary considerably be
low that scale, and in addition to that
the officers pay their own help out of
their salaries. The board was of the
opinion that it was hardly fair for an
officer to have to pay a filing fee on
what the office paid
^turiL.around- emf-pay nearly all of it
for help and general office expenses.
The board chairman is writing the
State board for a more direct ruling.
In the meantime, filing fees will be
based on the salary scale determined
by law, regardless of the amount the
officer gets and the amount he pays
Several of the precinct registration
books will be revised during the com
ing few weeks, the election chairman
said following the meeting last Sat- %
urday. The registration books will
be opened the 5th of May and remain
open Saturday, May 19, followed by
challenge day on Saturday, May 26.
Cittxcns living in the Hassell vot
ing precinct wfio have not registered
there are directed to register during
the coming registration period. Many
of the citizens in that precinct with
their names on the books in Hamil
ton precinct continue to vote in Ham
ilton. The board pointed out that
the voting should, so far as possible,
be confined within the district lines.
It is possible that a revision of the
registration hooks will be called for in
those two districts and also in Rob
ersonville and CrOss Roads.
