H. Godwin, an official of the Eastern Bond and Mortgage Company, of Wil liamston, in a letter to Mayor Gilbert Davis, "The tow’n has a good city govern ment and an efficient tax collector. All interest on its bonded debt has been provided for up to May, 1934. There are only $4,000 in past-due bonds, as follows: $1,000 due April 1, 1934, $1,000 due May i, 1934, and $2,000 due June 1 1934. Bonds are due from 1937 to 1957. "The assessed valuation in 1933 was l $870,037. The bonded debt was $303,- ( 000. Water plant valued at $100,000 Unpaid street assessments $43,000. Net bonded debt $160,000. Value of ether property owned by town, in cluding fire truck, real estate, and such property, is $50,000. “An annual income of $4,000 is re ceived from water and sewers. Ply mouth has a tax rate of $1.20, with a population of 2,500. The town has two railroads paying taxes and two j large wood-working plans in addition to filling stations and other foreign owned property.’’ “This letter, although in the form of a circular letter sent out to investors offering subject to prior sale $1,000 to $25,000 in 6 per cent street improve- j ment bonds of Plymouth, carries many complimentary remarks about the town of Plymouth, and 1 appreciate their attitude,” said Mayor Davis. "This letter explains the condition i of Plymouth as results of an investiga tion from outside and carries more, weight than if I were to release the j same statements,” said Mr. Davis.

The theme of this meeting was civics, with Mrs. T. L. Bray, a former president, in charge of the ar rangement for the program. L. M.

TIME TO PLANT WINTER GARDEN Number of Crops Could Be Planted Now For Use In Coming Winter Fall gardens will supply the family with fresh vegetables until late in the winter. Most of the summer crops are now gone, but the supply of vegetables can be kept up by planting fall crops in September and October, says Robert Schmidt, associate horticulturist at the North Carolina experiment sta tion. Kail vegetables, for the most part, belong to the leafy group and require rich soil or heavy fertilization to pro mote rapid growth. The crops should be those which can withstand the early frosts. Snap beans will mature in about 50 days and may still be planted, Schmidt said. However, magnesium arsenate spray or dust should be used to con trol the Mexican bean beetle. It IS a little late tor Deers, mu u planted in early September they will mature if the season is good. Carrots may still be planted in good soil. Cabbage, turnips, kale, mustard, bro ccoli, tendergreen, Chinese cabbage, collards, lettuce, spinach, onions and radish make good fall crops. The fertilizers should contain large quantities of quickly available nitro gen. The soil should be well pre pared before planting. Sufficient "cul tivation to control grass and weeds is also necessary. Insects do their damage in the fall as well as in the summer and steps to keep them under control are im portant to the production of high grade vegetables. Recommendations for spraying may be obtained from the county agent. -® Roper Enrollment and Attendance Both Good -$ Roper.—School opened here with a good enrollment on September 3 and the attendance continues fairly good, according to I.

On this the grower will be paid $40 per ton. On the 90 per cent, he will be paid a parity or bonus of $10 per ton. Fuli particulars will be out later. Be sure the operator who picks your peanuts has a licerlse. -® The corn and hog contracts have finally been cleared for payment from the county. Checks for the first pay ment should begin to reach the County by the middle of October. -$ COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOLS IN MEET AT MOUNT TABOR -<s> J. Richard Carr, Plymouth, Is Elected President for Coming Year -® Creswell.—J. Richard Carr, superin tendent of the Baptist Sunday school in Plymouth, was elected president ot the Washington County Sunday School Association at a convention held in the Mount Tabor Free Will Baptist church near here Tuesday. E. R. Davenport, of near Columbia who served as the executive last year, with R. W. Lewis, of Roper, were both named vice presidents this year Mrs. E. M. Chesson,,of Roper, suc ceeded Mrs. Leon S. Bray as secretary and treasurer. Division directors as elected follow: Children: Mrs. W. H. Harrison, route I, Plymouth; young people, Mrs. O. D. Hatfield, Creswell; adults, James W. Norman, of Plymouth; administra tive, Rev. J. W. Hardy, of Cresweli, rector of the Episcopal church. The next session will be held the second Tuesday in September, 1935, at the St. Delight church near Ply mouth. The attendance banner was awarded to the Zion Chapel church near Roper. The offering and crowd was larger than in years in this coun ty. Rev. Shuford Peeler, of Raleigh, sec retary of the North Carolina Sunday School Association, was the principal speaker. Scripture and prayer in the morning was by Rev. L. L. Davenport. Afternoon devotionals were led bv R. W. Lewis. Rev. W. H. Hollowell, of Creswell, spoke on “Family Felolwship With God.” Special music was rendered by the Zion Chapel Sunday school. J. Richard Carr sang two solos. A fellowship dinner was enjoyed at noon. -- URGE RECORDS BY FARMERS OF PEANUT SALES Will Be Great Aid If Cam paign To Aid Growers Is Instituted -® Due to the belated passage of the law designating peanuts as a basic commodity under the Agricultural Ad justment, a campaign for the reduc tion of peanut acreage was not insti tuted in 1934. The more favorable price for the short crop of 1933 large ly eliminated such a need in connec tion with the production of this crop. However, the sizeable increase in the 1934 acreage over that of 1933 may make it necessary to institute a heavy campaign for control of acreage for another year. The most extensive peanut areas in i North Carolina are found outside of the main eastern cotton and tobacco territory. However, there are a few counties, such as Martin and Edge combe, which had large acreages of peanuts, as well as tobacco, cotton, and numbers of hogs. The availability of records of pea nut sales reports should aid greatly in establishing a basis for contracts if the government sees fit to inaugurate a reduction program on this crop. Although no definite arrangement have yet been made for peanuts, inter ested growers should anticipate such a campaign and begin preparing relia ble records and evidence for use in j this connection. TAKE ACTION TO INSURE SAFETY SCHOOL PUPILS -® Speeders In School Zones Will Be Carried Before the Courts Here -» Fear that speeding autoists and I reckless drivers will maim or kill , small children in the primary grades | at Hampton Academy here has re sulted in some definite action by May |or Gilbert Davis and others. School is dismissed at 12 o’clock, noon, for the lunch recess. Factories also allow the same hour for lunch. People hurrying to and from the plants in cars and business men and others hastening to lunch cause much traffic at this time. The school is mid-way the block between Washington and Jefferson Streets facing on Main Street. Public highway traffic comes up Washing ton Street causing much traffic at the I corner where many of the children cross the streets hurrying in three di rections. The Jefferson Street corner is also a busy one as it leads to the business area and to some of the factories and to other populated sections. Thu- the corners are a continued hazard to the life and limb of the children if they happen to be trapped while crossing by a speeding driver. Chief of Police P. W. Brown has had the words, “Slow . .. School" painted on the tsreets in large let ters in an effort to control the speed ers. Some want the area about the school building zoned with special laws governing the operations of ve hicles in that section. Mayor Davis is of the opinion that the law will he brought to bear upon those who speed or drive in a reck less manner by this school. It ap pears that some one will be arrested by officer and example made of the case. But to avoid unpleasantness, May or Davis and the City Council mem mer> plead with people who drive in the area of the school to drive slow and be very cautious to avoid injur ing any of the many children who walk to and from school daily. - — ■<$■ — PLAN TO FORM AUXILIARY OF LOCAL LEGION —®— Meeting Will Be Held Next Month To Perfect Organization A meeting will be held here some time in October for the purpose of i organizing an American Legion auxil- | iary.

URGE FARMERS KEEP LEAF DRY -® Leaking Packhouses Should Be Looked After To Prevent Damage -$ With rain sweeping over this sec tion almost continuously for the past few weeks, tobacco farmers have been advised by dealers here to keep their leaf as dry as possible so that it may be marketed in good order. Leaking packhouses, particularly, it was said, should be looked after and every effort made to protect the to bacco from the rain. Tobacco marketed in good condition always brings more money than that i ;t receiving proper attention, it was pointed out, and growers who wish to receive the top of the market should make an effort to keep the leaf out of the rain and see that it i> carefully graded before being brought to mar ket. -<S> Discusses Value of Winter Garden to Relief Families -s W. B. Pace, Durham County agent, has been discussing the value of fall gardens with lclief families. Most of them wish to taise as much of their own food as possible.

With an enrollment of 400 or more boys and girls the school needs the interest and active support of the community. HIBERNATING PESTS CAN NOW BE DESTROYED Destruction of Foliage and Stalks Left in Field Is Great Advantage -« After fall crops are harvested, land owners of North Carolina can mater ially aid their next year’s crop by a cultivation program designed to de stroy hibernating insects in the foliage and stalks left in the field. Dr. B. B. Fulton, research entomologist at N. C. State College, suggests. Foremost among the injurious in sects which can be destroyed are the pickle and melon worms, which are abundant among squash, cucumbers, cantaloupes, and melons. These in sects exist in the pupae stage during the winter and can be destroyed by a complete removal and desruction of all infested plants after the crop is gath ered. The plants may be destroyed by turn ing the lan, feeding the hogs, burn ing, or by using them in the compost heap, which produces an excellent ma nure needed by most soils. 'The com post heap is effective if the infested material is packed down ami covered with earth in order that the heat gen erated by the rotting organic material may destroy the larvae and pupae or imprison the adults. Dr. Fulton says horn worms and bud worms develop on tobacco stalks where they are allowed to stand in the fields after the crop is removed. The worms will damage the leaves and tips of next year’s tobacco crops to a great er extent if the stalks are not destroy ed this fall. The larger cornstalk borer can be partially controlled easily and econom ically by plowing out the corn stub ble with a turning plow by early De cember, harrowing over the stubble im mediately and allowing the field to re main undisturbed until the first of March. Other common insects which Dr. Fulton says may be curbed by clean culture, are: corn billbugs, squash bugs, corn root worms, chinch worms, tobacco flea beetles, and red spiders The latter are harmful to cotton and other cultivated plants. Although raking up and burning the | stalks and foliage to destroy hiber nating insects as a sure method, plow ing is also advisable, for. in addition to destroying the hibernating quar ters, the wild food plants of the in sects are also killed. --<8>-— Abundant rainfall has caused the tallest growth of lespedeza in Cataw bar County in recent years. Farmer? are cutting large quantities of it for hay.
