VOLUME XLV—NUMBER 47 Plymouth, Washington County, North Carolina, Friday, November 23, 1934 ESTABLISHED 1889 SUNDAY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE IS GROWING HERE -® Picks Up After Several Sup erintendents Threaten To Resign -(81 Attendance continues to increase in three Sunday schools in Plymouth as the result of a “strike” of two leaders and a threat from the third that he would resign unless better cooperation was rendered by the church members. Never before in the history of the town has there been such a concerted move among the Sabbath school lead ers as there has been in the last month. And the fact that neither lead er knew of the actions of the other until some time this week, after sup porters of the school had begun turn ing out in increasing numbers. W. F. Winslow, superitnendent of the Grace Episcopal church school, was struggling along with an enroll ment of about 4(1 and an average at tendnee of about 25 or 30. After five years of this discouraging condition, Mr. Winslow dropped out. He never resigned. He just quit going. When asked about it he stated that he was discouraged over the lack of attendance and cooperation from others. The school ws reorganized and he was asked to return in his same capacity of leadership. I he first Sun day there were 40-odd present. The second time there were more than 70 present, almost half of the number be ing adults. John W. Darden, who lias served as superintendent of 111 Bible school in the Christian church wrote out his resignation and handed it to W. C. Chesson, chairman of the board. The news got out. Things began to hap pen. Last Sunday, instead of 60 pres ent, there were 150 in attendance, with 50 of these being men. James W. Norman, superintendent of the Sunday school at the Metho dist Episcopal church, threatened to resign. His attendance, one of the largest in town, was around the 60 mark, but 90 or more attend now, and it appears that the school will con tinue to grow. J. Richard Carr, superintendent of the Baptist church, has his situation well in hand, and the attendance is fair at his church, considering the membership. But the interest in the other churches will awaken the inter est of the Baptists in their own de nominational Sunday school and should result in increased attendance. Sunday school attendance is being stressed through local newspapers. Special workers from each of the churches continue to round up mem bers for their classes and the schools. No prizes are offered. There is no rivalry. Only the actions of the sup erintendents and their pleas for coop eration have resulted in more interest being shown. The stories of the new Sunday school goers are amusing and pathetic. One rcalls that he has not been to Sunday school in eight years but liked it last Sunday. Another says it makes him feel guilty for not attending. Still another says it is against his health to lay around pretending to rest on Sunday while he is stupid and tired on Monday. But, then, trace it all back to the actions of the discouraged superintend ents, who now want to go out Sun day afternoons and rejoice together. Church attendanc is also increasing. -& Home Agent Announces Schedule tor Next Week Following is the schedule of home demonstration club meetings for next week, as announced today by Miss Eu genia Patterson, county home demon stration agent: Monday, November 26.

Beam, Mesdames H. A. Williford, R W. Johnston and C. W. Cahoon. [ FARM NOTES | | By W. V. HAYS, County Agent | Tobacco growers please note: Sales cards must be returned to the county office so that this can be reported to Washington, otherwise no parity pay ment will be made on the 1934 crop We hope to get off this report at an early date, and cards recived late will mean a delayed payment to those growers. -® The peanut situation is due to the growers rushing peanuts on the mar ket and nothing else. Peanuts have been carried to market so rapidly that it has been impossible to properly grade and weigh these peanuts. The government practically assures $56 a ton for peanuts which go to the crush er. Our farmers are selling peanuts below this figure for fancy shelling stock. We should not blame buyers : for paying their own prices for pea nuts under present conditions. Our bank will lend $40 a ton on bonded j warehouse rceipts, in some cases pos-1 sibly more. I would recommend this where it is necessary that a grower must raise some money. In 90 days the market could be considrably im proved. -S A peanut acreage reduction contract will be offered growers in Washington County about the first of December.' Acreage will be based on the number | of acres planted in 1934 or 1933, or a| combination or average of acres plant- j cd in 1933 and 1934. The growers will | be expcterf to reduce his acreage 10 j per cent in 1935, for which he will be paid $8 per ton on all peanuts market ed or raised for market in 1934. Be sure to save your sales slips. -®— Cotton growers please note: On Tuesday at 10 o’clock in the morn ing (November 27), there will be a meeting for all cotton growers at the high school auditorium in Roper. Mr J. F. Criswell, who is familiar with the cotton situation in North Carolina and assisted with the administration of the Bankhead Act in this state, will be the principal speaker. The ad vanages as well as otherwise will be explained by Mr. Criswell, also plans for the continuation of this program through 1935 will be intelligently dis cussed. Questions may be asked on various phases of the cotton program. Every cotton grower in Washington County is urged to attend this meet ing and paricipate in an intelligent discussion so as to be able to vote in teligently whether or not the cotton program shall be continued after this j year. A number of cotton producers have not called for their cotton exemption j certificates. If these should not be delivered befoer the first of December, it may be impossible to turn these back into the pool or to sell them at 4 cents per pound. It will then be necessary that these certificates be held by the producer until the fall of 1935: then they may be no good. Lees Mill Sunday School Convention December 2 J -$ Roper.—The Lees Mills Township j Sunday school convention will meet | on December 2 at Hebron Methodist church, Roper. ! Rev. J. C.

COTTON MEET WILL BE HELD NEXT TUESDAY —®— J. F. Criswell To Speak on Coming Referendum on Bankhead Act -® An open meeting for a discussion of the cotton adjustment program and an explanation of the plans for 1035 will be held in the Washington Coun ty courthouse Tuesday, November 27. at 10 a. m. The discussion will follow an ad dress by J. F. Criswell, of State Col lege, on the cotton situation in the South and what will he the probable result if the Bankhead act is continued or if it is discarded. The coming referendum on the Bank head act will be explained, so the growers will know exactly what they are voting for when they cast their ballots. Dean I. O. Schaub, of State Col lege, has said, "I am hoping that all cotton growers will attend these meet ings, which are to be held in each cot ton county of the state, and take part in the discussions. We would like to know their viewpoints, and we will send them to the cotton section of the Agricultural Adjustment Administra tion. "Helpful suggestions made at these meetings will be considered in the de velopment and administration of the adjustment program in 1935, for we want to make the program as bene ficial as possible to the cotton grow ers.” J.

TENANT SYSTEM MUST BE BROKEN Success of South Depends Upon Operation Small Farms By Owners -$ The backbone of the tenant system must be broken before tbe South can ever attain a real agricultural reha bilitation, Dr. C. Horace Hamilton, as sociate rural sociologist of the North Carolina Experiment Station at State Colegc, writes in a recent issue of “Rural America.” The tenant farm system, described as the scourge of the South, can be broken, Dr. Ham ilton suggests, by setting up a Fed eral Land Authority with a major objective of establishing a belt of small farm owners across the tenant areas of tbe South. He suggests that lands obtained at reasonable prices from banks, insurance companies, governmental agencies and large far mers should be utilized. _ Surveys should be made, he asserts, to determine what tenants and labor ers are capable of becoming farm own ers, with the ultimate view of pro viding land for every family desiring to farm and which is able to manage a farm of its own. The Farm Credit Administration and other government agencies could work in cooperation with the Federal Land Authority to finance the program and carry out the work, he said. A balanced and per manent system of farming for these small farm owners and educational opportunities for the young should be in the program. The farmers could buy the land from the Land Au thority on easy terms and arrange ments worked out for insuring the security of the small farmers until they become well established, Dr. Hamilton writes. -<S> Ladies’ Aid Society To Hold Bazaar on Dec. 7 -<s Creswell.—The Ladies Aid Society of the Creswell Baptist Church will hold their annual bazaar on December 7 at the William Wiley store here.

COTTON STAPLE IMPROVED THIS YEAR IN STATE —$— More Than 50 Percent Of Crop Had Staple One Inch or Longer Nortli Carolina has come to the forefront in the production of cotton with a staple length of one to one and one-sixteenth inches, says Glenn R. Smith, of the agricultural econom ics department of the North Carolina experiment station. Growers in North Carolina have greatly improved their staple length and are ahead of all other states east of the Mississippi river, he said. This year 57 percent of the cotton had a staple length of one inch or more; last year only 27 percent of the crop had such staple quality. Only 21 percent of the cotton was shorter than 15-16 of an inch, he add ed, while last year 44 percent of the lint fell short of this staple length. The grade of the cotton this year is about the same as that of last year, Smith said. Farmers have ginned their cotton slowly and even though the early part of the season was wet ter than usual, the cotton was allow ed to dry out before ginning. The restricted acreage has also giv en farmers more time to take better care of their crop and has encouraged them to plant the better varieties so as to realize the most possible off the laud the}' did have in coton cultiva tion. Local mills prefer the longer staple lint, he added, and North Carolina growers wil find in them a better market this year than in the past when the staple length of their crop was relatively short. Previously the amount of long staple lint was small he explained, and the mills preferred to obtain their cot ton from other areas where they could buy it in large quantities of even-running lots. This year they can buy large lots of such cotton in this State. WILKES COUNTY CORN AWARDED SWEEPSTAKES Prizes Earned After Forty Years Growing and Im proving Variety More than 40 years ago, D. V. Nichols, of Wilkes County, started growing and improving a variety of corn known as Wilkes County White. This year his grandson, Quinten Nichols, growing the same variety, won the sweepstakes prize at the State fair in competition with 156 other en tries, for the second successive time. Through the years the Nichols fam ily has specialized in the development of a superior type of corn. Don Nichols, son of D. V. Nichols, joined a 4-H corn club at the age of 14 years and began selecting his seed according to the instructions of state and farmers’ bulletins. He exhibited his corn at the coun ty show that year. E. S. Millsaps, then district agent for the State Col lege extension service, selected ihe ! best ear from Nichols’ exhibit and told the boy to select that type of seed in the future. When he started, his corn yielded an average of 47 bushels to the acre. During his last year as a club mem ber, his yield had risen to 77 bushels to the acre. Ted and Dwight Nichols, brothers of Don, joined the club when they reached the required age and started growing corn. When their sons reached the age of 10, they too join ed the club and started growing corn. They have shown their corn at coun ty, state and national fairs, winning prizes each year. Quinten is the eld est son of Don Nichols. For three generations, largely thru the teaching of corn club work, the Nichols family has made Wilkes County White famous, says L. R. Harrill, state 4-H club leader. -® Miss McDougald Speaks To Woman’s Club Here -® A speech by Miss Juanita McDoug ald, of Raleigh, a representative of the division of instructional service of the North Carolina Department of Education, on “Changing the Curri culum in the Schools” was a high light of the meeting of the Woman’s club here last Thursday.

FUNERAL FRIDAY FOR JAS, SPRUILL —®— Well-Known Cherry Man Died Wednesday of Last Week -$ Cherry. — The Phillipi Christian Church of Cherry sustained a great loss in the death of James W. Spruill who died last Wednesday. Funeral services were conducted Friday aft ernoon at the church with Rev. Roy O. Respass officiating, assisted by Rev Xixon Taylor, of Plymouth. Special music was rendered by Mes danies Roy Respass, Mary Davenport, S. J. Woodley, C. N. Davenport, jr., and Messrs. S. R. Davenport and I. X. Spruill. Grandchildren carried the floral offering.

VALUE OF MEAL AS FERTILIZER Ton Cotton Seed Has Same Value as 1,053 Pounds Cottonseed Meal -«> A ton of cotton seed has approxi mately the same fertilizer ingredients 1,053 pounds of cottonseed meal, says C. B. Williams, head of the agronomy department at State Col lege. But the meal is used as a source of nitrogen in applying a complete fertilizer to a crop, the yield is usual ly 10 percent higher, he says, than when the nitrogen is obtained from cotton seed. On an average, the meal will con tain 5.8 percent nitrogen, 2.8 percent phosphoric acid, and 1.8 percent pot ash, while the seed will contain 3 per cent nitrogen, 1.4 percent phosphoric acid, and 1.2 percent potash. W hen exchanging seed for meal at a cottonseed oil mill, the farmers should get enough meal to egual the fertilizer value of their seed, plus an extra amount to pay them for haul ing the seed to mill and the meal hack home, Williams points out. Otherwise they may make a better trade by sell ing their seed and buying meal. In case the grower wishes to use seed for fertilizer purposes, Williams suggests that they make a compost of the seed with manure, rich dirt, or wood’s mould in the fall rather than put the seed directly under the crop in the spring. Farmer Is Badly Cut In Affray Last Tuesday W. H. (Dick) Perry, well known farmer and logger of Washington County, was severely cut in an affray with two negroes on the farm of J. A.

SHUGAR STABLES ARE DESTROYED BY FIRE TUESDAY Damage Estimated At Over $1,000; Stock Moved To Safety -<s> Damage estimated at more than $1. 000 was sustained by Shugar and Com pany, J- S. Shugar. manager, Tuesday night about 6 o clock when the liven7 stables of the firm on the Roper High way in the White City section, just over the town limits of Plymouth burned to the ground. Origin of the fire is not definitely known, hut it is thought that careless ness with lighted cigarettes migh have been the cause. A negro hauling hay was away from the barn when it caught fire. Sammy Sutton, living close by, discovered the firt and sounded the alarm. Firemen responded immediately to the alarm, but they could do little, as the structure had almost burned to the ground before they were sum moned. The place caugh fire and was reduced to group of smoldering ruins in less than an hour. I he old stables with feed for the livestock were devoured in record time by the flames that were shooting skyward and formed a threat to houses nearby in which several families were living. Dixon drove the animals into the lot nearby and they were not injured. Everything else was lost.
