Disease Strikes
County Tobacco
—#—
Reports from various parts of
the county declare that black
shank and other diseases are cut
ting down the tobacco crop. Quite
a few farmers are reporting some
disease in their crops, but black
shank seems to be doing the most
damage.
Farmer Henry Early of Goose
Nest Township said yesterday that
sizable blocks in his field had
been ruined by black shank, and
apparently it was spreading.

Lions Gel Report
| On Recent Trip
The Lions held their regular
meeting at the Woman's Club last
Thursday evening. The ladies of
| the Cross Roads Christian Church
served a most delicious dinner
!that was enjoyed by all.
Lion Wheeler Manning gave a
I most comprehensive report on the
recent State Convention held in
i Charlotte. He went into detail on
, the subjects most interesting to
the club.
One of the club’s favorite
guests, Prof. Jack Butler, then
made a talk on the High School
Band’s trip to the convention, and
related a few of the anecdotes of
the trip. He gave a nicely worded
description of the trip there and
i back, and told how much the band
members enjoyed the trip. It was
most gratifying to the Lions Club
to have sponsored the band, and
have them make such a wonderful
record that the town of Williams
ton should be proud of.
Lion John Henry Edwards gave
a description of the parade held in
Charlotte. The Green Waves tied
with Kannapolis for first place,
and have a good chance for the
bid to represent Nortlj Carolina
»ai the National Convention to be
held in Chicago later in the sum
mer. Whether they can go or not,
it is a wonderful honor to be given
the chance.
Other guests for the evening
were: Van Taylor, Herbert Roe
buck, Clarence Mangum, Paul
Robinson, Jimmie Harris, Sheriff
Buck Holloman and Dick Glad
den.
Lion Dick Elliott, chairman of
the Finance Committee, gave his
report and a detailed account of
the various ways the money was
raised and spent for (the band on
the trip. The report showed how
the people of Williamston always
arise to any occasion that is
worthwhile, and respond gener

Thursday, July 6th. The date was
changed from the 5th of July to

Charles W. Gary escaped in

on Highway No. 903 between
I Robersonvillc and Stokes at 9:30
o'clock Saturday morning.
Gary Jackson, Tennessee man

Peanui Growers
VrgedUse Dust
Howard R. Garriss, extension
i plant pathologist at State Col
lege, this week advised Tar Heel
i peanut growers to get ready to
begin dusting their crop for con
Itrol of leafspot disease.
The first application of dust,
Uariss said, should be made not
later than July 10, at the rate of
18 to 20 pounds per aere. Treat
ment should be continued at two
week intervals for a total of three
applications if weather conditions
are moderately wet to dry. How
ever, a total of four applications
should be made if the weather
is unseasonably wet.
A sulfur-copper mixture con
taining 4 percent metallic copper
is recommended. Tests conducted
’ last year in Bertie, Chowan, Gates
iand Hertford Counties showed
this material to be superior to
sulfur dust alone.
In 11 demonstrations, sulfur a
lone gave an increase of 209
pounds of huts per acre over un
treated plots, while copper-sul
fur gave an increase of 473 pounds
per acre. At an average price
of 10 cents per pound for nuts,
and after subtracting $1.60 per
acre for sulfur dust and $3 per
acre for copper-sulfur dust,
growers who used sulfur in
increased their profits by $19.30
per acre and those who used
copper-sulfur increased their pro
fits by $44.30 per acre.
In addition, dusting for control
of leafspot improved both the
yjeld and quality of the hay suf
ficiently to cover the cost of the
treatment.
Garriss said tests by a peanut
products manufacturer last year
failed to reveal significant dif
ferences in the general quality
of nuts for processing, regardless
of whether the nuts came from
copper-sulfur, sulfur, or undusted
plots.

Lagging Income
Cnrbs Sales On
Farm Equipment
-4t>
Sale of Tractora and Farm
Implcmenta Off Ten To
Tliirtv Percent
Chicago.—The farm equipment
industry is moving through the
first soggy spot in tractor and
implement demand in over a
decade.
A ten year climb in farm
equipment sales was climaxed
last year by a record industry
sales volume of $1,800 million,
roughly five times '39. But a slack
ening began late last year—and
odds are the 1950 total will be
down, despite a spring surge in
sales.
This clearly indicated by a
Wall Street Journal check of
seven big farm equipment man
ufacturing firms which account
for about two-thirds of the indus
try’s sales. Interviews with 24
equipment dealers in eight lead
ing agricultural states back this
finding.
Shrinking farm income is main
ly to blifne. In the first half of
1950 it lagged 9 percent behind
last year.
"With less money to spend,
farmers are tightening up on their
buying," explains W. A. Roberts,
executive vice president of one
of the largest farm equipment
makers. "This is affecting farm
equipment makers. “This is af
fecting farm machinery and
everything else sold to farmers."
Implications of this trend could
extend a long way beyond the
barnyard. "Farm buying has
never before .slowed down with
out sooner or later pulling every
thing else along with it," Mr.
Roberts contends.
Huge postwar production has
also contributed to lessening de
mand. The industry has eaten
away the. backlog of business ac
cumulated during the war, filled
distribution pipelines and is now
down to producing for current
requirements.
With plenty of machinery avail
able, farmers went back last fall
to buying equipment only when
needed. This put sales on the
skids through the winter. Since,
the industry has been watching
to see whether or not the season
al rise this spring would offset
the winter decline. Normally,
farm equipment sales reach a
seasonal peak in April or May.
With that period past, it has be
come evident that this year’s
business won’t be as good as 1949.
How much have sales declined?
At the dealer level, the showing
varies widely. Down in the north-'
western part of Texas, where I
farmers suffered a wheat crop'
failure this spring, dealers are
probably finding the going rough
er than any other place in the
country.

vester dealer, Torn Gallaher, is j

Kouscvi'li Made Govern

In Every Field
In a fighting speech at Austir
Texas, recently, Vice Presidenl
Alben W. Baikley described tlu
century-old history of campaign;
of epithet against the Democratic
Party and listed the positive Deni
Republicans still fight by scare
I ocratic accomplishments which
words. Highlights of the talk:
"Most of the legislation, which
the growing complexity of oui
economic and social life has made
necessary, as enacted under Dem
ocratic leadership. The first rural
mail route in America, and the
first Act to regulate commerce
were brought about under Grover
Cleveland. . . .
It was under Woodrow Wilson
that the Federal Trade Commis
sion was set up, offering a forum
for honest business to seek re
dress against monopolistic prac
tices. It was under his adminis
tration that the Clayton Anti
Trust Law was enacted . . . that
the great Federal System was es
tablished . . .
“Then came Harding, Coolidge
greatest depression and debacle in
the history of the nation . . . the
people turned again . . . to a great
Democratic leader, Franklin De
lano Roosevelt . . .
"Roosevelt made the Govern
ment the servant of the people in
every field of human activity . . .
"Farm legislation, seeking to
put agriculture on an economic
basis equal to industry, was en
acted, which included not only
an Agricultural Adjustment Act,
but Soil Conservation, Rural Elec
trification, Farm Supports, re
search into the discovery of great
er markets and greater uses for
agricultural products. This was
linked with Flood Control to pro
tect our river valleys from re
curring and devastating floods,
which each year destroy more
property than it would cost to
protect the people permanently
against these disasters.
“Peace has not yet settled upon
the world, and, because of this,
we have been required to under
go additional sacrifices in the way
of aid to the freedom-loving in
stitutions against Communistic in
! vasion- and economic chaos. We
have been compelled to main
tain a peacetime Armed Force
greater than ever before, and
greater than any of us ahticipated
at the conclusion of World War
No. II.
“While these burdens arc heavy,
we have enjoyed a prosperity
which is unequalled in any period
of our history. Republican mouth
pieces claim we are on the road
to bankruptcy and we are on the
last mile toward the police state.
"No nation is on its road to
bankruptcy whose people enjoy
a national income of $220,000,000,
000 per year. No nation is on its
way to bankruptcy which, in one
year, produced $250,000,000,000
worth of goods and services, for
which it finds a ready market.
“No nation is on its way to
bankruptcy which has more than
$100,000,000,000 of savings, which
it has accumulated since the dark
days of the late 1920’s and early
1930's . . . No nation is on its way

Martin County’s proposed half
million dollar school plant ex
pansion program received a ter
rific jolt last Friday when the
Board of Education received bids
on one of th“ first projects in the
list. Low bids exceeded the esti
mates by $12,000, one of the board
members declaring that rising
costs could block the proposed
expansion program for some time.
Proposing to add another story
to the new high school building
j at Williamston as one of the first
J projects, the Board of Education
last Friday canvassed the bids in
the commissioners' room. The
| plans for a project at Roberson
| ville are ready, but since bids on
the first project far exceeded es
timates it is possible that action
will be delayed. Before taking
action on the bids on the first pro
ject, the education board named
a committee to study plans and
I see if it is possible to reconcile
them with the appropriations.
Only two general contract bids
were submitted or. the Williams
ton project. W. G. Dunn, Green
ville contractor, submitted a bid
in the sum of $<>0,000, and J.T
Hardison Washington, was low
with a bid of $57,000. The lowest
bid was $12,000 above the esti
mate and $17,000 higher than the
cost of the first floor, completed
about two years ago.
Heating bids were submitted as
follows:
Deans and Baker, Kinston,
j $3,000; Pace Plumbing and Heat
| ing Company, Williamston, $3,193,
and C. L. Russ, Greenville, $3,145.
The low plumbing bids were sub
mitted as follows:
Deans and Baker, $1,250; Pace
Plumbing and Heating Co., $1,125;
and C. L,. Russ, $1,072. The low
bid for the plumbing was $200
above estimates.
Hubb Electric Company of
Greenville was low bidder for the
electrical work, bidding $2,225
Kinston Electric Company was
second with a bid of $2,325; and
C. J Demers of Wilson was next
with a bid of $2,395 While the
bids on the electrical wiring were
about the same, the lowest was
I about $1,000 above the architect's
| estimates.
| The proposed building was de
| signed to house six additional
class rooms, a library and two
toilets. Low bids on the structure,
including the general contract,
plumbing and heating and wiring,
amounted to $04,042, or about
$17,000 above the cost of the first
floor.
Studying ways of bringing the
costs down, members of the edu
cation board eliminated asphalt
floors and other items, but a sav
ing of only $5,000 could be ef
fected. A committee, headed by
Member Geo. C. Griffin, was
named to study the plans further
and action is expected without
I delay.

North Carolina House of Repre
sentatives. The results of the sec
ond primary balloting last Satur
day are unofficial, but the official
canvass today by the election
officials is not likely to alter the
vote in the county very much.
Martin County people reported
to the polls in numbers far great
er than was predicted. Voting,
going on in the hottest weather
of the season, dragged during a
greater part of the day, but pick
ed up considerably in the late
afternoon to reflect the largest
turn-out for a second primary m
the history of the county
In the senatorial race, Graham
led in seven of the thirteen coun
ty precincts, got a tie in the eighth
and made a fairly good showing
in one or two others In one pre
cinct, the vote was nearly thirty
to one for Graham, the people in
Griffins turning out in large
numbers to back their man.
Although fighting a losing bat
