Make Plans To Open
Draft Board Here
Rent Two Rooms
In The City Hall
AI Williamston
To Name Clerk anti Pre
pare To Open Offices
Here Next Monday
Final instructions have not
been received, but Eugene Rice,
chairman of the Martin County
; Draft Board, is going ahead with
! plans to reopen the draft board
: in Williamston within the next
i few days, possibly on Monday.
[Space on the third floor of the
town hall has been spoken for,
I and the services of a clerk have
been tentatively arranged. Chair
man Rice said. It was pointed out,
how’ever, that no official an
nouncement has been made.
Since Board Member L. R. Ev
erett of Hamilton is unable to
serve at this time on account of
illness there is a possibility that
someone else will be named to
carry on the work. Chairman
Rice and Bohrd Member Chas. R.
Gray of Robersonville are meet
ing today, studying the problems.
They are expected to contact Mr.
Everett and it is possible that the
two will carry on the work alone
if Mr. Everett thinks he’ll be able
to assume his duties within a reas
onable time. If an appointment
is declared necessary. Clerk of
Court L. B. Wynne is expected to
make it.
During the meantime, eighteen
year-olds are registering in great
er numbers than in months. Reg
istrations arc being handled tem
porarily in the Red Cross office,
third floor of Williamston's town
hall, between 9:00 a. m. and noon,
and between 1:00 and 3:00 p, m.
except on Saturdays when the of
fice is closed at noon. The regis
tration cards are forwarded to the
district office in Elizabeth City
where they are filed. All the files
are to be returned to the respec
tive counties, and classification
work will be handled without de
lay with the fairly certain pros
pect that four or more Martin
County boys will be inducted into
the service within six weeks. The
first contingent will be drafted
from the 25-year-old group.
It is estimated that nearly ten
million in age group now eligible
to serve are registered, th.t there
are about one and one-hail million
men in the 1-A classification at
this time. Married men with de
i pendents and men necessary in
farming and industry arc exempt
along with those physically un
able to serve.
During the meantime, more
men are volunteering for service
in the armed forces than at any
other time in recent months, in
cluding several from this county.
Reports from the war front in
Korea are not very encouraging,
and while a turn for the better is
expected shortly, it is quite likely
that enough trouble has been
| started to start the draft machin
; cry wheels turning.
' During the period the draft
i board was open in this county aft
er World Wan II, one lone man
I was actually drafted, and he was
called shortly before the office
i was closed.
AGGRAVATED
f
■v
Rains, falling Tuesday and
yesterday aggravated the '
crop conditions in parts of the
county, but with an even
break in the weather from
this point, most farmers are
expected to harvest good
crops. Some tobacco has flop
ped in nearly every part of
the county as a result of ex
cessive rains during the past
week most of the damage be
ing centered to the south
eastern part of the county.
The tobacco harvest is in
full swing now, but a few
farmers said late yesterday
that it was still too wet to get
into their fields.
Still Working On
Compromise Plan
For Peanut Crop
j Woul*l Allow Growers In
This Slut** To Plant 225,*
7(H) Acres Next Yeur
Washington. — A compromise
amendment favoring Virginia
tvpe peanut producing areas was
agreed to by representatives of all
areas yesterday.
It gives the Secretary of Agri
| culture authority to increase
: acreage to as high as the 1941 al
I lotments in areas producing types
[ of peanuts expected to be in
j short supply.
i At the same time the farmers
i will be permitted to raise peanuts
' for oil purposes above their al
Iutm#ft4*-mt>v»ded the total acre
age does not exceed the 1947 acre
age. Should there be a short sup
ply of a particular type of pea
nut grown for oil, the nuts can be
diverted into the edible trade at
the edible trade price.
The amendments were tacked
onto the Agriculture Committee's
i cotton bill following a long and
! heated fight by congressmen from !
; North Carolina and Virginia.
| The fight was led by Congress-1
men Herbert C. Bonner and Har
old Cooley of North Carolina and |
Congressmen Watkins Abbitt and I
Porter Hardy of Virginia. These
are the congressmen i epresenting ‘
the Virginia-type peanut pro^uc- J
ing areas which will benefit b»
the amendment should the WTl j
pass.
Congressman Bonner pointed '
out tonight that under the amend
ments, North Carolina peanut
growers will probably be permit- !
ted to plant some 225.7000 acres I
of peanuts in 1951 - thirty or
forty thousand acres more than
the original 1951 allotment calls
for.
At the same time, under the
oil peanut amendment. Tar Heel
growers will be able to increase
this to something like 251,000
acres, the 1947 allotment.
The amendments were compro
mise measures agreed to by the
North Carolina and Virginia Rep
resentatives after they were balk- ,
ed in their efforts to institute a !
urogram whereby peanuts would
be allocated by types according
to demand.
Such a program would have
given increased acreage to Vir
ginia-type growers who have
been unable to meet the great
demand for fjieir product in re
cent years. But it met with op
position from over-producing
Spanish and Runner-type areas
which would have suffered acre
age reductions under the plan.
If the plan fails, the following
acreage reduction is certain, Vir
ginia, 17,000; North Carolina, 27,
000; Tennessee, 500; South Car
olina, 2,000.

Pass Bill For
Study Of Fish
Thi' House of Representatives
tliis week passed a bill authoriz
ing an investigation of shad and
herring disappearances in Albe
marle and Pamlico Sounds in this
State.
It was the bill introduced by
Congressman Herbert C. Bonner
in an effort to alleviate alarm
ing decreases in annual catches
of commercial fish in northeast
ern North Carolina.
(The North Carolina Depart
ment of Conservation and De
velopment reported that catches
of shad and herring had dropped
around 80 percent during the
past decade.)
As it passed the House the bill
will fhelude more than the inves
tigations in North Carolina, how
ever. It will direct studies of the
same situation in both game and
commercial fishing areas all a
long the Atlantic Coast.
Particular eifiphasis will be
placed on the declines in croaker
catches in Chesapeake Bay and
the disappearances of weakfish
around the New Jersey Coast.
Should the bill receive the favor
of the Senate and the President,
the studies will be undertaken
by the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service. After the study 1
J is made, the Wildlife Service will
| then reyommend to the various
States measures to halt the de
clines and increase the abun
dance of the fish.
Quintuplets Born To Couple
Here Early Yesterday Morning
Quadruplets Born
To Viola R. Brown
Some Years Ago
<Juiiitii|»lrtx Lived Only A
Fen Minnies; Mother Is
Recovering All Ri$;lit
Viola Rogers Brown, 21-year
old colored woman, gave birth to
quintuplets at her home here on
South Sycamore early yesterday
morning. Born prematurely, the
three boys, and two girls lived on
ly a few minutes. Four years ago
the mother, then seventeen years
old, gave birth to quadruplets.
They, too, were born prematurely
and lived only a few minutes. An
other child, Donnie Brown, was
born nineteen months ago and is
doing well. The mother wes re
ported this morning to be getting
along all right.
The first of the quints was de
livered at 12:40 o’clock yesterday
morning and the job was com
pleted one hour and ten minutes
later. One of the three boys and
the two girls weighed a pound
each; a second boy weighed one
and one-half pounds and a third
boy weighed one and one-eight
pounds, according to Miss Caro
line Stalls, nurse in attendance.
Premature by about three or
three and one-half months, the
babies did not have a chance to
live. The attending doctor was
quoted as saying that had birth
been delayed a few more weeks
the babies would have undoubtely
lived.
The father, Alonza Brown, is
23 years old and is employed by
the William,stun Lumber Com
pany.
As far as the records show, it
is the first time quintuplets have]
been born in Martin County.
News of the multiple births
spread rapidly here and before
noon national press associations
were asking for more of the de
tails.

Acting a bit suspicious, Fred
McKinley Heath, 17-year-old col
ored boy, was stopped by Officers
Verblc Jones and Willie Modlin
here lati Sunday night. Heath
was immediately booked for oper
ating an automobile—a 1950 Ford
without a driver’s license A* a
hearing before Justice R. T. John
son, Heath could not answer all
the questions and an investigation
was started.
Highway patrol radio traced the
ear to Kbrnersville, near Winston
Salem where a garage had been
robbed. However, up until that
time the owner did not know his
ear had been stolen. Tried in the
county court Monday, Heath was
sentenced to the roads for sixty
days for operating a ear without
a license and was turned over to
Forsyth County officers to go on
trial there in September for lar
ceny.

Permanent Pastures Mean
Cheaper Production Costs
By S. A. Tuten
Asst. County Agent
The use of good permanent
pastures as a means of more eco
nomical livestock production, is
rapidly becoming an accepted
practice among farmers in Martin
County. Their value has been
demonstrated by farmers who
have already established and are
successfully maintaining ade
quate grazing for their livestock.
Good pastures can be used to
an advantage by commercial pro
ducers or by farmers who pro
i duee only meat and milk for
home use.
The most valuable pastures con
tain one clover and one or more
varieties of pasture grasses.
Ladino Clover which is a giant
type of common white clover ap
pears to be the most popular
clover. It is a rapid growing
perennial that spreads by creep
ing. It has fewer seed-heads and
has larger stalks and leaflets
than common white clover. It
apparently has the ability to re
cover faster following a dry spell!
than other legumes commonly
grown. Ladino grows best in
moist fertile soil, and will thrive
on some soils which are not suit
able. Grasses which have been'
.successfully seeded with Ladino
1 are either orchard grass or tall
fescue. Orchard grass has given
good results on tertue well drain
ed soils. Tall fescue seems to do
better on poorly drained soils.
Correct fertilization is very im
portant. Generally one or two
tons of lime are required on un
limed soils. A soil test should be
taken to determine the amount
of lime needed. Soil sample boxes
and directions for taking samples
are prepared by the State Soil
Testing Labratory and are distrib
uted through County Agents' and
other Agricultural workers.
Lime should be worked into the
soil six months before seeding;
however, later applications are
better than no lime until after
seeding.
Fertilizer at the rate of GOO to
1000 pounds of 2-12-12 is requir
ed at seeding time. Annual appli
cations of 400 to 000 pounds of
[0-10-20, 0-9-27 or 0-14-14 are re
commended for successful main
tenance.
1 The recommended rate of seed
ing is 10 to 12 pounds of Orchard
grass with 2 to 3 pounds of Ladino
Clover or 8 to 12 pounds of Tall
Fescue with 2 to 3 pounds of La
dino Clover.

Itv Jimmy Wallace
Martin County’s eight represen
tatives to the National Hoy Seout
Jamboree arrived at Rocky Mount
on Friday nigh* after ten days of
camping which will stand out in
their memories foi a long time.
Participating in the Second Na
tional Jamboree held at Valley
Forge, site of Washington's bitter
winter encampment in 1777, the
local youths, along with 47,000 of
the nation’s youngsters, took part
in a variety of activities rarely j
seen. President Truman spoke on]
June 30. On that night, the boys, |
along with 50,000 visitors, were!
treated to a pageant depicting the
cruel winter of 1777.
On Sunday night, 50,000 boys, I
standing on a sloping hillside and
facing a stage 150 yards long at
the bottom of a valley, each light-,
ed a candle simultaneously, sud
denly illuminating the darkness as!
il by magic. This ceremony was |
symbolic of keeping the torch ofj
religious freedom and liberty j
burning. Two nights later, in this
same vast natural arena, sur
rounded by flood lights, loud
speakers, 500 flags and four Boy
Scout bands, General Dwight Eis
enhower spoke to the assemblage
of 125,000. After his speech there
followed a 35-minute display of
fireworks, far surpassing anything
ever seen by most of the boys.
And then there was the last
night at the arena with more col
or, more pageantry, more thrilling
at the columns of boys, stretched
out as far as the eye could see,
marching in, four abreast, singing,
counting, shouting. There were
the top brass of the USA, the visit
ing dignitaries, the troop from
Nova Scotia, complete with kilts,
the group from India, Austria,
Japan and thirty-five other coun I
tries.
But m addition to these genera!
activities there were such things
as cooking by patrols (groups of

Starting in earnest a week
ago today, rains have literally
flooded this scetion every day
for a week with the promise
of scattered showers today
and tomorrow'.
Starting out last Thursday
with 2.1!) inches of rain, the
season during the past seven
days emptied almost seven
inches of rain in this imme
diate area. Iteports declare
that the f^ll has been twice

A break in the rainy season

Consumer Income
Higher This Year
Consumer incomes in the Unit- j
ed States are higher than last year j
according to a recent report from
the Commerce Department. In [
April of this year the annual rate j
increased to $212,1100,000,000
which did not include $245,000,000
in GI life-insurance-refund pay
ments. Personal incomes were in
creased by these payments, hut
they do not count, in the total an
nual rates because payments are
almost completed by now.
The annual rate in April repre
sented a gain of $600,000,000 over
the annual rate for March, anel
this is the second month the in
come has increased. In 1049, con
Isumer incomes totaled $209,000,
j 000,000. Tin gain from March to
April “reflected an expansion in
payrolls that was largely offset by
declines in proprietors’ income
and transfer payments.” 'The rise
stemmed primarily from increas
ed activity in the durable goods
and manufacturing industries,"
the Department said. "Higher em
ployment and a longer work week
in factories ptnducing transpor
tation equipment, machinery, and
other fabricated metal products
were mainly responsible for the
advance of total wages in durable
goods manufacturing.”
“The net income of farm opera
tors for the first four months of
1950 was about one-fifth less than
in the same period of last year,”
the Commerce Department re
ported.
