“Flipped’"’ Him Out Of
Prize Winner
One of the high spots in Martin
County's third annual Fat Stock
Show in the Planters warehouse,
Williamston, last Friday was a ra
dio broadcast over a Raleigh sta
tion by Frank Jeter, State College
Extension Service editor. Inter
ested 4-H club boys and girls, the
l eal backbone of the county’s larg
est stock show, and several hun
dred other spectators crowded
around Jeter as he reviewed the
history of the show and interview
ed several of the prize-winning
boys and girls, including Jack Wil
liamson, winner of first prize;
Earl Knowles, second prize win
’ner; Ira Rogerson, third, and Pris
cilla Roberson, first prize winner
for girls.
“The first show had eight en
tries. A year later there were 21
entries, and today there are for
ty, ' Editor Jeter, the man who
gets more fan mail than any other |
on the Raleigh station, said !
“There has been steady growth i
and interest in the show, and the I
youngsters have 21 Angus and 19 j
Ilerefords and thirteen swine in I
thi' show today,” he added.
The editor called in Tom Bran
don, county agent, who said a few i
words, and Assistant Agent C. J.
Goodman, the man who was in
charge of the show this year, said
the show was the finest thing his
club members had done up to
date.
Dean I. O. Schaub made a few
remarks on the program, recall
ing how much the show had im
proved in interest, quality and j
quantity since lie was here two j
years ago. He was much impress- j
ed by the gn at interest shown by
oldei people, and declared that a
general livestock program must
come to eastern North Carolina.
Jack Williamson, Bear Grass
club boy, told how he had fed his
940 pound grand champion and ^
although he thought a lot of him, I
lie would not cry when he told
him good-bye. Priscilla Rober
son, of the Williamston club, and
Jimmy Knowles, of Jainesville,
were briefly interviewed by Edi
tor Jeter during the short radio
program.
Ira Rogerson, Jr., of Williams
tan and winner of third prize, told
how he and his cousin, Jack Wil
liamson, went to Roberson's
Slaughter House nearly six
months ago to fuck out their calv
es. Both of them chose the same
calf. “We agreed to flip a coin to
determine who would get the calf.
I lost,” the youth said, adding that
In planned to return next year. It
was a costly flip for the youngster,
all right. Jack received $573.41
at the sale that afternoon, and Ira
received $2H2.10 for his, a differ
ence of $291.31, not mentioning
the prize money.
In concluding his broadcast,
Editor Jeter declared that it was a
fine occasion. He expressed his
thanks to the boys and gills for
making the show possible and to
the older people for the interest
they had showm. “And we must
realize that it takes livestock to
make a great state,” he conclud
ed.
Prizes Awarded
For Showmanship
Purchasing their calves from
the West, quite a few of the 4-H
Club members participating in the
county’s third annual fat stock
show last Friday could not com
pete for showmanship prizes, but
three walked away with the
awards.
Howard Bennett of B"ar Grass
won first prize, a leather halter.
Second prize went to Ira Roger
son, Jr., of Williamston, the
youngster who was literally "flip
ped” out of first place in the
choice of the show's grand champ
ion steer. Miss Peggy Joyce Gur
ganus of Hamilton won third
place in the showmanship contest.
No prizes were awarded, but the
climax of the entire show came
after the sale when the young
folks looked at their pets for the
last time. A few tears tackled
down face, and a friendly stroke
was directed at the nose of more
than one animal by the young
sters, one of whom grabbed his
steer around the neck and planted
a meaningful kiss right between
the animal's eyes.
Farm Meeting Held

Members Urged To
Maintain A Strong
I p
Farm Organization
Shaw, Homier ami iliimlM-r
Address Large Group
Friday Evening
—®
Holding their annual meeting
and barbecue in the Williamston
High School last Friday evening.
Martin County Farm Bureau
members were urged by promi
nent farm leaders and others to
maintain a strong farm organiza
tion. Opened by a prayer by Rev.
W. B. Harrington, the group heard
talks by Chas, L. Daniel, presi
dent of the county organization,
R. Flake Shaw, executive secre
tary of the state Farm Bureau.
Congressman Herbert Bonner and
[R Lee Humber, candidate for the
seat now held by Bonner in the
| National House of Represcnta
| tives. The barbecue sup pi r was
i served in the gymnasium which
■ was packed from wall to wall.
Opening the meeting, President
Daniel welcomed the members
and special guests, numbering
right at 2,000. Hi' reviewed the
condition of the Farm Bureau in
i this county, stating that there was
light at 1,800 members, that the
, organization was taking part in lo
[ cal, state and national affairs
through its delegates and commit
tees. "The Martin County Farm
Bureau is on the map, and we
want to keep it there," Mr. Dan
! lel said. "The Farm Bureau was
organized for service and it is try
ing to raise the standard of living
for farmers and others. It has
been instrumental in getting laws
beneficial to agi iculture. We can't
however, rest on past laurels; we
must go forward for service. Many
problems are coming up, and we
need to maintain a strong organi
zation to help solve those prob
| loins." the president said in urg
ing the members to take more in
| terest in their organization. "We
are not all clod-hoppers, so to
speak, but all are dependent on
the soil, so let's have a strong or
ganization and work for the inti i
est of all our people," he conelud
tlod.
Making the main address of the
i evening, R. Flake Shaw pointed
I out that Martin County had done
^a good job, that it had been loyal
m helping carry the voice of the
j farmers to the nation’s capital
Where laws beneficial to agricul
I ture are considered in commit
tee meetings.
The excutive secretary did not
I paint a very encouraging picture
for the future, but expressed the
opinion that farm prices would
hold up for a year or two. "We
can t center all our attention on
soil and production; we must con
sider markets,” Shaw said, point
ing out that a program to help
manage foreign exchange must be
formulated if the foreign markets
are to continue taking fifty per
cent of our tobacco and 30 percent
of our cotton. He also stressed the
need for economy, and explained
that there are 44 agencies and
eight bureaus handling agricul
ture, that there are 20 agencies
dabbling in the housing problem.
"I'm not critical of the set-up, be
cause the agencies were the out
growth of w ar and uncertain con
ditions following the war, but we
must economize and the farmer
will be called on to say which
agencies he would retain.”
The speaker discussed the pari
ty formula, and declared that
there are many misgivings as to
whether w'e need a farm program.
"Hut we must have the light to
adjust and we must have price
support,” lie declared, pointing
out. that farmers will be lost if
Ihey produce a great surplus with
out foreign markets or some def
inite program.
"We must work together and we
must pull together,” Shaw said,
pleading for a better informed
Farm Bureau membership and a
militant organization to help cope
with future problems.
The meeting was thrown into an
open forum and Congressman
Herbert Bonner and hi > opponent
in the current race for the First
Congressional District seat in the
National House of Representa
tives, briefly addressed the meet

Candidate Speaks
To Large Number
Here Last Friday
—®—
Robt. Leo Hiiniber Declares
Farm Income Must Re
Sustained
-«
Robt. Loo Humber, Pitt County
attorney and leader in the federa
tion of nations movement, ad
dressed approximately 200 Martin
County citizens in the courthouse
last Friday evening in support of
his candidacy for a scat in the Na
tional Congress from this district.
He was introduced by Don John
son. Jr., county attorney and the
candidate’s manager.
Declaring that he had had a
great day mingling with the peo
ple of this county at the fat stock
show during the day, Mr. Humber
praised the efforts of the Martin
County Farm Bureau in organiz
ing the, great farm power in this
section and pushing forward for a
common cause.
“We are facing one of the great
est epochs in our history, and the
issues and problems demand the
J greatest and most serious study
land thought,” the speaker said.
I “As the mariner studies the signs
and stars and compass in reaching
his port, we, too, must study the
signs of the times and be prepar
ed to cope with .the problems,” lie
added, declaring that agricultural
income must he our first study.
He pointed out that the indus
trial income of this state is now
about 550 million annually, that
farm income is approximately 445
million dollars. Not so long ago,
tin- speaker added, farm income
was only 221 million annually in
this State, lie went on to say
that last year, tobacco sold for 23(1
million dollars as compared with
241 million dollars for all farm
products a few years ago. "We
must maintain the high income,”
Mi Humber said, declaring that
with a 2!l(l billion dollar national
debt, we must have an income of
over 100 billion to sustain the na
tion. "If farm income falls, in
dustry will crumble and dire cir
cumstances will follow,” he de
clared.
The speaker declared that the
Farm Bureau has most if not all
the answers to the problem for
maintaining farm income, ‘‘and 1
heartily subscribe to its program,”
he said, adding that acreage con
trol must be maintained. The can
didate also stated that parity
prices must be continued, and that
labor must he considered in de
riving parity prices. "Without
considering labor in figuring par
ity prices, we still find the situa
tion out of focus, and “to think
about lowering farm income
would have catastrophic effects,"
he said.
"Wo have made progress in re
cent years under the humane and
outstanding policies of our belov
ed late president, Mr. Roosevelt,
hut the task is not yet done,” Mr.
Humber said, and he went on to
say that in addition to a regular
program of control and parity, di
versified agriculture will help
stabilize our economy. He referr
ed to the stock show held earlier
that day, and pointed out that con
ditions are just as favorable in
parts of North Carolina for cat
tle raising as they are in Texas,
that the main cattle region in Tex
as was similar in make-up to this
section. To further the diversi
fied plan, he mentioned the po
tential income from pecan trees,
the tourist trade. ‘‘We must main
tain our income if we are to sus
tain our economy and advance our
standard of living, build schools,
adequately remunerate our teach
eis, maintain our churches, meet
our tax obligations, pay our medi
cal and other bills,” he declared.
Continuing the speaker said,
"There is one main principle in
the sustaining force of a nation,
and that is organization with re
sponsibility. It is like a four-lane
highway where the worker is en
titled to a fair return for his labor,
in factory or on farm, where man
agement is entitled to fair profits,
where the distributor is entitled
