DEMOCRATS PLAN
STRONG SUPPORT
FOR ROOSEVELT
Partys Precinct-by-Precinct
Organization To Be Most
Complete In History
The Democratic party's precinct,
by-precinct organisation this tall
will be the most complete in the
history of North Carolina politics?
if plans of State Chairman J. Wal
lace Winbome are carried through.
"So far we have made more prog?
ress toward a complete organization
than we have ever made this early
In the campaign," said the chairman.
"There are three reasons for this.
First there is North Caorlina's great
admiration for President Roosevelt
i
and its determination to give him a
record majority. Second, progres
sive men and women throughout the
State realize that with Roosevelt
and Hoey heading the federal and
state governments, and with pros
perity returning; are may expect
four years of unprecedented ad
vance along lines of education, so
cial legislation and material ad
vance. And. finally, we are receiv
ing the closest cooperation from the
county chairmen and other party
leaden."
"Know your precinct," is the
text the Chairman has preached on
at each of the district meetings, at
which he conferred with the local
officers of the party. He has urged
that the precinct chairmen take a
houM-tOhouie poll "of the precinct to
discover the potential Democratic
strength, check the Democratic
names against the poll books to see
that everybody is registered, and
make plans to get out the entire
vote on election day.
. Mn. J. B. Spilman, the State
Vice Chairman, has called upon all
the Democratic women workers of
the State to join in the organization
work. "Women are just as capable
as men, perhaps more so, in doing
this sort of work," she said. "The
plan of organization calls for at
least one woman on every precinct
committee. ?4
If the precinct chairman calls on
these women to help with their can
vasses and with checking the regis
tration books, they will get the or
ganization work done sooner than
ever before, I believe women are
noted for their thoroughness and,
as most men already know, the
more work you give a woman to
do, the greater will be her enthusi
asm."
Just recently the Democratic cam
paign spotlight turned from the
western half of the State, where
the first six rallies were held, to the
East. The first district rally was
held at Ahoskie oil Friday, Septem
ber 19. Others will follow in the
next few weeks.
'I know that the West, where I
now live, would go down the line,"
said the chairman, "and I am de
lighted to find the fighting spirit in
my native East
"I realize, of course, that in tha
great majority of Eastern counties
there is so little Republican oppo
sition that it is difficult to work the
Democrats up to the point of in
tensive organisation and a drive to
get out the full vote. However, I
find a determination among our
eastern chairmen to do just that this
fall. They feel that the East owes
an overwhelming majority to the
President and to the whole Demo
cratic party."
Should Dig Potatoes
Before Frost Strikes
And Kills the Vines
Potatoes Keep Better And
Sell for More Money If
Properly Handled
Don't leave sweet potatoes in the
ground until frost nips them, warns
L. P. Watson, extension horticul
turist at State College.
They are sensitive to cold and
will be damaged by frosty weather,
he stated. Cold-damaged potatoes
will not keep as well as those which
are protected.
If an unexpected frost should kill
the vines, he added, cut them off
and dig the potatoes at once.
Watson also urged growers to be
careful not to bruise or cut the po
tatoes in digging, hauling, or stor
ing. Blemishes decrease their mar
ket value and increase their suscep
tibility to disease.
A large two-horse turn plow with
a rolling coulter attached to the
beam and adjusted so as not to cut
the potatoes is a good implement
for digging. Or a "middle buster"
may be used if the rows are barred
off.
Don't throw potatoes from one
row to another. Three rows may be
piled together, since potatoes from
the two outside rows may be laid
over in the middle row without
throwing.
When picking up the tubers, place
the different grades in separate
piles. This saves trouble later.
Leave the culls in the field.
Allow the potatoes to remain in
the field long enough for the sur
face to dry so that the roots will
be freed from clinging soil. This
also avoids oarrying excess moisture
into the storage house.
Do not fill hampers or crates too
NOT TOO LATE TO
PUNT CROPS TO
CONSERVE SOILS
All Farmers Have Chance
To Meet Requirements
And Get Payments
Winter legumes sown in October
may be counted as soil-conserving
crops under the 1936 soil-improve
ment program, according to J. F.
Criswell, of State College.
The time allowed for seeding con
serving crops has been extended to
October 31, since many farmers
have been handicapped by dry
weather, he explained.
He urged growers to take advan
tage of the time extension and sow
enough conserving crops to qualify
for the maximum payments possible
for them to receive.
A change in the regulations, he
added, now permits growers to meet
their minimum conserving cro[?
acreage requirements by sowing
winter legumes on fields where de
pleting crops were harvested earlier
in the year.
The minimum acreage of conserv
ing crops required is equal to 20
percent of the base cotton, tobacco,
full. Overfilled containers may cause
the potatoes to be mashed or bruis
ed in transportation or storage.
Always clean out storage houses
and containers before putting in po
tatoes. It is also good to let the
storage room and baskets air for a
few days after they are cleaned.
?nd or peanut acreage plus IS per
cent of the base acreage of other
depleting crops.
""This is the minimum amount of I
conserving crops a. farmer must
grow to participate in the aoil-im-|
provement program.
Conserving crops may also be
grown for another purpose: to make
a grower eligible to receive pay.
men! for carrying out soil-building
practices. When grown for this pur
pose, the conserving crop must not
be placed on land where depleting
crops have been raised this year.
Since the work of checking grow
ers' compliance with provisions of
the soil-improvement program has
been completed in most counties,
Criswell stated, growers who seed
conserving props in October should
report it to their county agents so
they will get credit for the later
seedings.
