Ih't-rmhrr I'fl'f. /.htuubrr itj i.t>mmiw Everv person in Williamston will do well- to throw his support behind the proposed cham ber of commerce and accept an equal shnie o! the responsibility that must be accepted it a community is to progress and its people are tn prosper in equal measure. Williamston has been favored tn time past, but the advantages it holds will be overshadow ed by the work of others if we remain idle and tail to point out those advantages and work to gether toward a common goal. Much work has been done unselfishly by a lew individuals, but it isn't reasonable to expect the few to continue giving their time and means tor a common cause while the main offer no support or show no willingness to share the responsibility of promoting the general welfare of the corhmun ity. There are many ways in which the people of the town could combine their efforts and pro mote the general welfare If we are to continue to grow and prosper we must combine our ef forts and work toward a definite goal /truths /nun 'I ulirri iilosis Last year in Martin County there were seven teen deaths from tuberculosis While the num ber of deaths from the disease is not frightful ly large, the location of flu1 deaths offers a chal lenge to those who would give life an equal op portunity to approximate a ripe-age Fourteen of tire seventeen deaths were re ported among the colored population. It is ap parent that there has been some progress made in battling tuberculosis, but the number of deaths from tuberculosis among the colored population suggests that something is liking there. It is possible that occupational activi ties, inadequate food and clothing and housrrvu conditions have combined to claim many of x those lives who made a filial bow to death at a tender age This world will be Waring a state of perfec- J tion when people strive to protect the lives of their fellowman instead of maintaining ai/d glorying in a system that sends them to a pre mature grave. Economy ISolc An economy note- is being sounded for the American farmer, the unemployed and the needy. It is generally agreed that the nation's defense program must go on, and to increase the weapons of war and destruction, the tax boys are eyeing the appropriations made in behalf of the needy, the unemployed and the farmer If this nation cannot finance a defense pro gram without sacrificing agriculture, the needy and the unemployed, then it will be well to fore go a part of that-program and gamble on the chance of escaping attack bv a foreign enemy.

I'can ut farmers throughput the producing areas of Virginia, Jforth Carolina, Georgia, Ala bama and Texas are exhibiting reasonable con cern over tin steadily increasing acreage plant ed to this crop which until a few years ago was considered one of minor importance and the commercial production of which was restrict ed to a lew Jocah/ed areas. Kor many years the planters of a restricted area in Virginia and North Carolina the Ro anoke-Chowan counties being the center of that aria produced pract'ieallv all of the peanuts planted in this country for commercial uses The peanut industry was-centered in this area and the production here was the dominating factor in the peanut market. But this is no longei the case. Peanut culture and produc tion. like cotton before it and as tobacco now appears to be in transition, spread to the South ern areas, until now less than thirty per cent of the total commercial production comes out of the Virginia-Carolina area Peanuts is no longer a crop of minor importance; over, an area it has become a staple crop of equal im pel tanee with cotton and tobacco with a large number of farmers Now. unless some effective check can be ap plied foi peanuts, as it has for cotton and tobac co. wheat and corn, it appears that the increase in acreage will continue next year and a great surplus bring about a paralysis of prices. Pea nut fanners have seen what happened this year to tobacco under unrestricted plantings Thev fear a similar experience for peanuts next year. Tiiosi who are familiar with the crop programs of the past few years know that a surplus of .peanuts has been produced each year and that prices have been maintained only through gov ernmental subsidy which has removed the sur plus supply from the normal market and divert ed these peanuts into oil With greatly increas ed production next year it is realized that even should the government be disposed to continue to provide funds for this subsidy, the funds are necessarily limited and that a lower price must necessarily be fixed to stretch the money avail able over .the larger surplus. At any rate, the peanut farmers are rightly concerned over the future of their crop. Deter mined and cooperative action by all of them is necessary to develop and carry through a pro gram which will protect their interest and their futuic We are glad to see leaders among them realize the seriousness of the situation that con fronts the peanut farmers and are exhibiting their readiness to take action. The average far mer can best aid these leaders bv following them in membership m the organization.
