VOLUME XLIY?NUMBER 19 tt illiamtlon. Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, March 7, 1941. ESTABLISHED 1899 Herbert C. Bonner In Appeal To Congress For Aid To Farmers Will Not Be Content for Farm Prices To Remain Station ary As Others Increase In an address, entitled. "Agricul ture and the National Defense." Con gressman Herbert C. Bonner before the House Appropriations Commit tee this week directed an appeal for aid to the farmer. Mr. Bonner said: I have just heard that the Bur eau of Agriculture Economics re ports that North Carolina farmers suffered a 8 per cent decline in the total cash farm products during the year 1940. amounting to a little more than twenty million dollars, as compared with the year 1939. and that flue-cured tobacco growers bore the heavy burden of the re duction. Total cash income from to bacco salts from the year 1940 drop ped 11 per cent as compared to the year 1939 This is a heavy blow for the North Carolina farmers to sus tain during the year 1940 when the national income had increased over three billion dollars and when in dustry, generally, in North Carolina and the United States had the best year in many respects since 1930. 1 desire, therefore. to express my views with respect to national de fense and agriculture in the world crisis. In consideration of the Agricul tural Appropriations Bills I sin cerely trust that Members of Con gress will constantly bear in mind the condition of agriculture with relation to the world crisis. We must never forget that with all the vast expenditures for national defense the farmers of this country occupy both the front lines and the rear lines of American defense. Tn the last analysis, this war may be won or lost on the farms of the United States The humble and obscure farmer who homeward plods his weary way at nightfall, is the source of this nation's greatness, the foun dation bf all of its boasted enter prises and the support of its indus trial millions. We read daily of the millions be ing spent for planes, tanks, guns, cannons and munitions of war I believe the people of my district ap prove my vote for these expendi tures, but I am serving notice on Congress and the country that the farmers of America are not going to be content for the price of the prod ucts of the farm to remain station ary while the products of the ma chines of this country are constant ly increasing in value. The National Defense Program of the United States has already re newed the movement of men from the country to the towns and cities and the appeal for industrial work ers has Already taken thousands of farmhands into the factories. It is estimated that the Federal Govern (Continued on page six) Hold Farm Fourm Next Monday Night The Martin County Farm Bureau ?will hold its third forum of the year next Monday night in the county agricultural building, and a special invitation is extended all farmers to attend. Officers of the Farm Bureau, the organization sponsoring the pro gram, state, that the meetings are open to all farmers and business and professional men interested in this section's basic industry agricul ture. County Agent Bill Hays, of Plym out, will discuss beef cattle at the meeting which opens promptly at 7:30 o'clock next Monday night. Mr. Hays is qualified to talk on the sub ject assigned, and it is a spendid op portunity for Martin farmers to get the 'low down" on stock raising as an added source of income in this section of North Carolina. The results of a cotton variety test conducted by several farmers in the county last year will be tabulated and made available to those attend ing the meeting. At the last meeting, County Agent B. E. Grant ,of Bertie, led an inter esting discussion on legumes and cover crops, and the meeting next Monday is certain to be equally as interesting and informative. B _ea_ I W A V I zv/sv zksKl 1 ixjioreu selectees Leave March 19th Four colored trainees will leave this county for Fort Bragg on March 19th, the local draft board having been notified yesterday to issue service calls to that number. The call for the four men completes the first March quota. A second quota is likely to be assigned later in fne month. The board will not have to dig into its draft list for the trainees, the clerk. Marion Cobb, stating today that there are forty colored volun teeers awaiting the call to service in Uncle Sam's Army. Filling its quotas from the white volunteer list during the past three months, it is fairly certain now that the draft board will have to go to the draft list to fill the second quota expected in March. Senate Committe To Discuss Peanut Quota Bill Next Week The lowly peanut, after scoring f successful visit through the Nationa House of Representatives, is novi making ready to run the gauntlet ir the Senate. Congressman Herben Bonner announcing yesterday thai he had been advised by Senatoi Bankhead. chairman of the Senatt Committee on Agriculture, that a peanut hearing would be held by the group next Monday morning at 10 o'clock. A call has been issued for as many peanut growers as possible to attend the hearing Apparently the bill providing for a peanut control program will meet with opposition in the Senate. It barely passed in the House and the bill was successful there only after a costly compromise by the old pro ducing areas. According to unoffi cial reporti) reaching here there is ?50. mi.03 Martin County farmers, to datr, have rrcrived a total of $50,404.05 for participating in the 1940 soil conservation pro gram. the office of the county agent stating $480.13 was receiv ed yesterday for distribution to eleven landlords and tenants on four farms. The agent's office states that 641 applications have been ap proved and that a total of 1,045 checks had been received for distribution, leaving a few more than half to come later. Draw Jurymen For Special Term Of Court Next Month No Judge Hum Keen Aligned To Preside Over Two Weeks Civil dour I # With one set of jurors already awaiting service in the superior court term convening week after next, the Martin County commis sioners in their regular March ses sion drew more jurors for the two weeks' term of superior court con vening in April for the trial of civil cases only. No judge has been as signed to preside over the term, but it is thought that Jude William Hy slop Sumner Burgwyn or Judge A. Hall Johnson will fill the chair dur ing what time the court is in session. Comparatively few civil cases are on the civil calendar for trial in March and it is likely that the April session will be without many cases and certainly without any cases of any great public interest. The names of jurors to serve dur ing the two weeks April term of the "big'' court follow by townships: First Week Jamesville' Township J O.

The contractors handling the dirt for the fill virtually suspended oper ations this week. The fill has been widened to the required specifica tions, but the builders early today had not started breaking up and removing the concrete left on the dam during the flood last August Unofficial reports state that no def inite date for completing the work is known, but it has been stated that the contractors hope to have the project completed possibly in May. i a movement on to eliminate the di 1 version feature.

State Drys Score \ ietorv In First Bout \\ itli Liquor Revenue Source Will Likely Get Major (loti*i<leration At Hearing Monday The North Carolina Drys scored a close but moral victory in their first bout with the Wets this week when a House committee on Propositions and Grievances favorably reported the McGowan hill providing a liquor referendum next November. The Wets had their say before the com mittee .at a hearing.Jicld last Tues day afternoon, and while they may have made some progress, the com mittee divided eleven to eleven on the matter, the chairman breaking the tie and giving the Drys the vic tory Reported out favorably, the hill was immediately re-referred to the Finance Committee where the control side of the question is certain to be snowed under by the profit mo tive Draining an estimated five mil lion dollars out of the 26 wet coun ties, legalized liquor will command the attention of the financiers when they see an unbalanced budget with out liquor and the possibility of a balanced budget with liquor. It is fairly certain that the liquor ques tion will not reach the floor of the House And if it should, its passage there is not likely Then there is the Senate waiting to hand the bill an , adverse blow if and when it should | reach that chamber. , The Finance Committee will go through the formal procedure of holding a hearing next Monday af I ternoon at 2 30 o'clock, the stooges and observers predicting defeat for, the bill shortly thereafter It is generally believed by the I ; Drys and admitted by some Wets j 1 that should a referendum be called, j legalized liquor would be ousted by I the voters. Hearing talk about a definite ad ; journment date the latter part of next week, the law-makers got busy with their law-making and dumped more bills into the hopper, the action I of the assembly to date being* mark 1 ed by the ability of leaders to push , into the background certain bills of | recognized importance. Quite a few proposals have been juggled back and forth in committee, amended time and again and then lost to the public. The appropriations bill, out of balance with the revenuf*" bill pass ed some days ago and calling for an increased spending of about twelve million dollars during the next two years, was rushed through the House yesterday in less than half an hour, and was passed by the Senate this morning in nine minutes, paving the way for the State to spend $166,500, 000 during the next two years. The election of a utility'commis sion will be abolished and placed in the .hands of the governor, if a bill passed by the House gains a favor able vote in the Senate Passage of a bill redisricting the State for Senators and giving the west an additional one at the ex pense of the east is expected In the Senate today.

Stiffer Opposition Seen For Hitler In Turkev and Greece Turkey Is Reported To Have Rejeete?l Offer Made By (Jerniany Despite Hitler's high-powered threats on the diplomatic front to hand the British a set-back in nerv ous Balkan situation. Turkey today continues to hold tight to the side of England and little Greece, despite warnings, says she will continue her fight High Turkish officials have been invited to Berlin, but Turkey says she w ill refuse to send repre sentatives to confer with Hitler, ap parently meaning that action can bc< expected if Hitler attacks Gicece During the meantime. Hitler is either building up a big bluff or making ready to drive against both Greece and Turkey lie is said to have between 1.B00 and 2.000 air planes m the Balkan region and about 150.000 soldiers ready to strike from Bulgaria During the meantime Greece is pushing 90.000 men into key positions for any eventuality. There have been reports that the British are moving troops into the new war arena, indicating that any move bv Hitler toward Greece will be contested. On the diplomatic front. Hitler, after taking over Bul garia earlier in the week, is making ready to have Yugoslavia join his^ list of subjugated countries The Balkan situation offers little more than deep mysteries, but events expected during the next few days are expected to throw light on the situation. I,ate rumors, traceable to diplo matic circles 111 the Balkans, de clare that Germany will pounce on, Greece tomorrow. While the rumors may be offered just to aggravate the war of nerves in that region, com munications have virtually been suspended and German moves are clothed in strict secrecy. Mystery continues to surround tin- Ear East situation While some are convinced that Japan is only bluffing, others admit that she is a splendid job in tying up a portion of the British fleet in the Pa cifie and aiding Germany indirect ly in her drive against British ship ping in the Atlantic Incidentally. Japan is holding a huge pint of the American fleet in the Pacific On the general war front little ac tivity was reported today Italy claimed her air force damaged a British cruiser and sunk three Brit ish merchant ships, while Germany claimed her submi noes had sunk 12.000 tons of British shipping. First Lord of the British Adniir ally Alexander Ibis week stated that in all her history England nev er needed more ships and men than now However, English tonnage is reputed to be greater now than be TTire the war. In Washington, after spending ev ery possible minute delaying the lease lend bill, the isolationists ar ranged another delay of an indefi nite nature by wrangling over pro posed amendments. The talks are reiterating old arguments heard in the Senate these past few weeks, very .few new points having been advanced by either side in recent days. The proponents still are point ing out the need for speed, and a call has been issued to get the Sena tors into session an hour earlier and to provide for night sessions. President Roosevelt today again ippealed to the Senate for the im mediate passage of the lease-lend bill, and it is thought by some that a favorable vote is near at hand. ?*> Band Director Galls Tor Missing Capes Several of the green und white capes used by the Williamston High School band in 1935, '36 and *32 can not be located at the high school, and Band Director J.

Six new books were added to the list this week, as follows: "Random Harvest," ? Homicide for Hannah," "Case of the Solid Key," "Foundation Stone," "It Was Forever," and "City on the Hill."

Farm Land Values in County $35.61 an Acre Total Value Of All Cleared bind h*ss Than $3,000,000.00 Apparently I.(MM) Atro of Ijinil II avt* IJtM'ii lo.i in CoiiiiIv To Taxation While Martin County will depend haevily upon cleared lands for its tax revenue, it will have to dig deep into other properties to balance its budget for the next fiscal year, ac cording to figures released this week by Tax Supei\i.M.i S H CSrifwes With an average per acre value of $35.61. the 77.811 acres of cleared! land are expected to hear about one fifth of the tax load, leaving wvmds | land, homes, business houses and personal property to bear the other . fourth-fifths of the burden based ! I on a total tax levy in the sum of $204,474.65 for the tax year 1940 Using the same rate in effect for / 1940. tin4 county could receive ap proximately $40,179 50 in taxes from cleared land. Using the 1940 rate as I a base, the farmer is to pay alxiut 51 and one-half cents on each clear ed acre of land In their survey extending into ev ery nook and corner of the county. | | the property assessors recently found 77.811 acres of cleared land. It is t generally believed that there are ap , proximately 79,000 acres of clear- J ed land in the county, indicating that t mote than 1,000 acres have been lost < somewhere to taxation Although it j is apparent that there was a slight { misrepresentation of the actual acre- t1 age, the variation is not so great, af ter all. u While there is no set value for , a land, it is generally believed that the p average acre of cleared land in this t county will sell for a figure close to n $100 Some say it is worth more and s some say it will not sell for that u amount. One tax list-taker main tains that the average acre of land v should sell for $100 while a repiv n sentative from the farm agent's of- a fiee and a farmer says the average acre of land in the county will not Is sell for more than $35 an acre. The i $100 figure is believed to be more <> in line with the real sale value un- a der normal conditions. On that has 1 is. tin- cleared laud is listed at just about one-third of its value When u the assessors were making their j ii test listings, several of them express ' s ed the opinion that an usses^-d value I of $50 an aero on an average would ?: he a fair tax figure for cleared land | If tin- estimate of $100 an acre for ' cleared land is accepted as a fair n sale price, then it is apparent that the assessors fell below their goal which was to place property on the ?' tax books at 60 per cent of its true I1 value. There is no particular argu " ment against the average assessed ( value for cleared land if other prop- " city is listed in proportion For in " stance, if the same scale is followed, a $3,000 home should be valued for tax purposes at about $1,000 Then there are those townships I* with average acre values below the '' general average of $35.61. Certainly J there is some difference in the qual- '' ity of lands when compared by I' townships, as a whole, several as y sessors going so far as to say that the lowest in Williams Township is " high in comparison with others 11 when the quality of the cleared land is given due consideration.
