Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, May 11, 1934
ESTABLISHED 1898
351 LOANS MADE
BY NEW AGENCY
IN THIS SECTION
Production Credit Associa
tion Gets Away To Good
Start in District
?
The Production Credit Association
has made 351 loans to farmers and
stockmen of Beaufort, Hyder--Martin,
Tyrrell, and Washington Counties
since its recent organization, accord
ing to a statement today of J. E. Hull,
secretary-treasurer of the association.
While the minimum amount of a
production loan is $50, Mr. Hull says
that the average-size loan is for sev
eral hundred dollars, and a number
of production loans up to $1.000 Of
more have been handled.
So far, Irrans
ing used by farmers in this vicinity
to purchase livestock, work stock,
seed, fertilizer, and farming supplies,
although Mr. Hull says that in several
instances farmers have specified in
their applications that a part of the
money was to be used to hire labor,
?r pay off an indebtedness incurred
for agricultural purposes.
The present interest rate of 5 1-2
per cent per annum on production
loans is charged only for the time the
money is being used, and is payable at
the end of the term of loan. Mr. Hull
says that some farmers are saving any
where from 1-4 to 1-2 on interest costs
by obtaining loans on an installment
basis, having the money advanced to
them in amounts as needed during the
season. Loans through the associa
tion are made for all phases of agri
cultural financing incident to a farm
production. These loans range ordi
narily from 3 to 12 months, depending
bn the length of time required for the
borrower to grow and market' his
crops, livestock, or otherwise pay off
the loan as required. In certain cases,
loans such as those on dairy cattle
or breeding cattle may be extended
lpnger, but not for more than three
ycats.?Ptimaiy senility?fen?these
loans consist of crop liens and chat
tel mortgages.
From its office in Washington, the
association operates through represen
tatives in the five counties of its ter
ritory. The association was organiz
ed under the fann credit administra
tion last winter and is intendedTto be
a permanent source of agricultural and
livestock credit for this section.

NO CONTESTS
IN TOWNHSIPS
Little Interest Manifested
In Politics Generally;
Few Candidates
That there is little interest in poli
tics in this county outside the cler\
of court race and probably the sena
torial contest is further evidenced in
the announcement of candidacies for
township or district offices. Five
candidacies for township offices were
filed with Mr. Sylvester Feel, chair
man of the Martin County Board of
Elections, and as there was no com
petion all were declared party nomi
nees.
Those filing and the offices they
seek are:
the peace, Jamcsville Township.
R. C. Sexton, constable, Jamcsville
Township.
Heman U. Peel, justice of the peace
Bear Grass Township.
Lucian J. Peel, constable, Bear
Grass Township.
Howard F. Griffin, constable, Grif

I PRICE DOUBLED
v
Washington.?Secretary Wal
lace laat week tentatively approv
ed a marketing agreement under
which four tobacco companies
would contract to purchase at
least 11,5000,000 pounds of cigar
leaf tobacco at prices approxi
mately 100 per cent higher than
prevailed laat season.
The agreement is being submit
ted to the Bloch Tobacco Co.,
Liggett and Myers, P. LorriUard
Co., and the Scott-Dillon Com
pany. It would apply to stemming
grades of cigar leaf.
PLAN INCREASE
TOBACCO QUOTA
Action Would Allow AH
Farmers To Market
More Tobacco
1
Late developments in Washington
are recognized as very encouraging
to those Martin farmers who main
tain their tobacco poundage was cut
under the reduction program beyond
all reason. Reports were received
here today indicating that steps are
to be taken allowing farmers to mar
ket without penalty 80 percent instead
of 70 percent of their base produc
tion figure. #
Prospects for a short crop were said
to be the main reason for considering
an increase in the marketing allot
Iments. Whether or not this increase
'will be allowed isn't certain, but pres
jent indications point favorably to an
increased allotment.
This action, now under contem
plation only for the flue cured belt of
Georgia. South and North Carolina
and Virginia is ki\oKn to have met
with the approval of the tobacco sec
tion of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, and is prompted by
?severe drought conditions in sections
of the belt.
Passage of the Kerr bill, imposing
3 111-lulty ..w.-pww*
atf toTnu?+o not produced unde
reduction agreements, is. said to
.meeting some late and strong oppos
tion, but there is hope for its pa:
sage* it is understood*
A reduction in tobacco taxes Wi
said to be gaining favor in Congrei
this week, and while some say a r<
duction in tobacco, taxe-v will not ai
tne larmer, other arc ot the opinion
that a reduction will mean much to
the growers.
66 MEN GIVEN
WORK ON ROADS
number Is Expected To Be
Gradually Increased
To About 100
Sixty-six Martin men are now
employed on the two road projects
under construction in the upper part
of the county, it was learned yester
day from Employment Director J. W.
Hines. About 20 men were assigned
work on the Bethel-Oak Cityl project
yesterday, and others will be assigned
from.dime to time, it was stated, until
abou 100 men are on the payrolls.
S< veral nu n will be given employ
ment when work is started on the
- street widening project here within
the next few days, it is understood.
Skilled workmen were required for
work on the railroad bridge here this
week, but common laborers and oth
ers are expected to return to the job
before it is completed. Preparations
are now being made to replace the
old steel bridge with a new and larg*
er one and remove the supports in
the center of the highway.

cert locally before a crowded auditor
ium here last Wednesday evening, the

received. I
Organir^.t nP{Y a few months ago. |
the band is rapidly developing into
musical organization of note for a I
community this size. Already several
of the young boys arc well advanced
in the art, and nearly every one of the
'others is rapidly following the same ;
course. While showing an aptitude '
Ifor handling their instruments, the!
[boys gave evidence of splendid train- I
ing.
Professor llix stated that evening
that the activities of the hand "would

monhs, and invited other young boys
of the community to join !>-? -zrrr-^z

['members for a town this size, but it
lis believed there are others interested
(in the organization, clearing indicat
ing that tlie town and community has
|a very worthy undertaking well estab

j idly. Other than a continued schcd

j hers will enjoy many advantages as
they progress in the art.
