The Roanoke Beacon ******* and Washington County News **★**★★ VOLUME XLV—NUMBER 51 ESTABLISHED 188Q Plymouth, Washington County, North Carolina, Friday, December 21,1934 ANNUAL REPORT BY HOME AGENT FOR PAST YEAR —®— Work of Club Women and Club Girls Reviewed And Spummarized Another set of annual reports have just been filed in the home agent’s of fice for work done by home demon stration clubs. Any one interested i> invited to come in and inspect them So often club women and girls give the alibi, "I have done so little, I just didn’t think it worth while to report." But it is the little things that make the big things, and I believe that most club folks would be surprised at their own reports. A very brief survey re veals the following facts: Girls: There are 215 4-H girls work ing in six clubs in four schools (all high schools of county and one gram mar school). Each girl works under a contract which she has helped to make. The contracts this past year included clothing, health, foods and 4-H camp. A total of 462 women are working in 20 clubs. The major project for this year has been clothing. The minors include work in gardens, yards, food conservation, relief and county-wide programs. Some accomplishments ot these women are: 46 women adopting improved practices in bread making; 53 in meat cookery, 88 vegetable cookery, 52 milk cookery, 67 meal preparation and service, and 54 mem bers have adopted budgeting the fam ily food supply for the first time. 51, 320 quarts of frui's and vegetables were canned for winter use by the club women. Over 106,000 quarts were conserved by relief families and home demonstration club women, which was together a county-wide program in food conservation. 137 club members have made im provement in balancing meals in 1934. 117 members are preparing better school lunches; 16 have adopted im proved practices in child feeding, and a total of 121 children are represented in these homes. 401 women were enrolled in the major project, clothing. 5,738 gar ments were made by women and girls in 1934. 1,523 dresses, 129 coats, 1,504 chil Iren’s garments, 101 hats, 876 un dergarments, with an estimated saving of $1,757. 901 garments were remod eled, 322 dresses, 81 coats, 310 chil dren’s garments, 188 hats, with an es timated saving of $460.81. 795 garments have been made over; 371 dresses, 47 coats, 335 children’s garments, 42 hats, with an estimated saving of $528. 225 garments were dry cleaned with an estimated saving of $243.75. 112 women adopted a systematized plan for Household work. 31 pur chased labor-saving equipment. 59 have planned or rearranged their kit chens for convenience. 20 have adopt ed improved laundry practices and 11 members are planning to make a bud get for 1935. 112 have adopted improved practices in selecting and arranging furniture, 52 in repairing and remodeling furni ture. 45 have improved walls, wood work, and floor treatments in kitch ens, halls, dining rooms, living rooms and bedrooms. Four members have installed electric lights, 1 water system, 2 heating sys tems, and 3 sewage disposal systems. 29 women have planted their gar dens according to a plan, and 73 have improved yards in many ways. 24 have painted or whitewashed homes. 387 gardens, with 366 growing year round gardens. 158 members have sold products from their homes, netting $9,283.52, all for chickens, eggs, dairy products, and fruits. The curb market sales receipts are $1,157.08 for 1934. Saving by club women for 1934: 61,320 quarts fruits and vegetables canned and valued at 15 cents quart, $7,698; savings in making clothing, $2,845.81; savings in dry cleaning, $243.75; curb market, $1,157.08; total $11,944.64. The above results were accomplish ed by means of 678 home visits, 395 office calls, 79 telephone calls,' 1,501 individual letters, 42 circular letters, 356 meetings and traveling 11,471 miles. There are many other values that cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. The above savings are strictly by club members.—Eugenia Patter son, home agent. -^ . Greenville Man Heads District Music Contest J. H. Rose, of Greenville, has been designated as the chairman for the district that includes Washington County in the 16th annual high school music contest which will he held on April 12. This contest is sponsored by the Woman’s College of the University oi North Carolina at Greensboro. Tal ented musicians who can sing, per form on a saxophone, violin, piano are eligible to participate if they are in high school. VALUATION DROPS Tabulations on the taxable wealth of Washington County re veals that in 1929 it was $8,063, 000, while in 1933 it was reported to be $5,629,000, according to sta tistics from reliable sources made public here today. In 1933 the per capita taxable wealth was given at $485, with a county-wide tax rate in the same year of $1.87. This is a good re duction from the 1929 tax rate, which was $2.05. The present tax rate is $1.80, which is the 1935 rate also. OFFER PEANUT CONTRACT THE 7TH OF JANUARY —•»— Schedule of Benefit Pay | ments Offered Outlined By District Agent I -« The peanut adjustment contracts to | he offered North Carolina farmers in January will qualify the growers for diversion and benefit payments on the 1934 crop, says B. Troy Ferguson, district farm agent at State College. The diversion payments will be $20 a ton on Virginia type, $15 a ton on Spanish type, and $10 a ton on runner type peanuts to which are diverted to oil production this year, provided pay ments shall not be made on more than 20 percent of the crop. The benefit payments will be $8 a ton on the peanuts raised in 1934 by growers who sign the contract for placed in charge of the peanut pro gram in North Carolina. The contract permits the growers to plant in 1935 the average number of acres they had in peanuts in 1933 and 1934 or 90 percent of their 1933 or their 1934 acreage. The sign-up campaign will probably start during the week of January 7 in this and other peanut-growing counties, Ferguson said, with every j grower being given an opportunity farm agents in the peanut counties have been instructed to appoint three . county committeemen and a number ! of community committeemen in each 1 county to conduct the sign-up and to administer the program. The contracts will go with the land, as in the case of tobacco and cotton ! contracts, and will be signed by the I landlords for farms operated by share I tenants. ! A man owning several farms in one 1 county may place them all under one j contract, but separate contracts must 1 be made for farms in different coun i ties. A signing grower must also ! place all his peanut land under a con ! tract. The production of cash or grain I crops for sale or of basic commodity I crops on farms covered by a peanut contactr must not exceed the produc i tion of these crops in 1932 or 1933, I Ferguson added. I Committees for Legion j Auxiliary Are Appointed -® Committees for the auxiliary of the James E. Jethro post of the American Legion were appointed at a meeting held here yesterday with Mrs. W. V. Hays, president, in charge. Coinmitteewomen follow: Rehabili tation, Mrs. W. C. Jones; American sim, Mrs. Sam Lucas; Fidac, Mrs. Bruce Bateman; legislative, Mrs. P. M. A/ps; Child welfare, Mrs. Emma Swail; national defense, Mrs. Downic Simpson; membership, Mrs. Wade Johnson; publicity, Mrs. Katherine Harrison; Poppy sale, Plymouth, Mrs. C. L. Weeks; poppy sale, Roper, Mrs. ij. F. Leary. j After reading the bulletins and let ters from headquarters that presented i an organized plan of work for next ■year, the women heard Senator C. L. I Bailey speak on parliamentary rules. I Members were asked to bring rags to ! the next meetings to be given to the boys at Oteen for making rugs. The next meeting will be held the first Wednesday in January at 3:30 p. m. All members are urged by the president to be present, as plans for the district meeting here the second week in January will be discussed. -* ' County Veterans Would Get Total of $142,020.72 Veterans of the World War in Washington County would get a sum of $142,02072 if the adjusted service certificates are paid. The American Legion has made this I item of the payment of the last part of the bonus to the former soldiers a major item in its legislative program this coming Congress. It is under stood that President Roosevelt is op posed to the payment of these certifi cates. However, Congress will convene shortly and it is thought that it will pass both the upper and lower houses of the congress and that the Presi dent will veto. But this money being distributed now in Washington Coun ty would help a lot. ! VOTE FAVORS TOBACCO AND COTTON LAWS —®— Only 14 Against Bankhead Law in Referendum Last Friday -» | Farmers in Washington County have signified by ballot their apprecia tion for the benefits of the Bankhead | Cotton Act and the Kerr-Smith To bacco Act by piling up an overwhelm ing majority for the two issue>. A total of 414 votes out of a pos sible 4% were cast in favor of the con tinuance of the present cotton grow [ ing and marketing system. Only 14 actual votes were counted against the act, with 1 in Plymouth, none in Skin nersville, 5 in Scuppernong and 8 in Lees Mills. Already votes representing 700 acres of the tobacco land in the county has been cast with the voting still to go on until December 20. Only votes representing 7 acres of land have been cast against the measure. Votes for close to 100 acres remain to be cast. Supporters of the measure are well pleased with the results of the ballot ing and predict a better system of op eration of the measures for the com ing year. Much interest has been man ifested in the voting. CORN AND HOG CONTRACT ARE READY FOR 1935 —©— No Urgen Program Needed In This County; Farmers May Sign,. However Benefit payments will be offered to North Carolina farmers who wish to j adjust their corn or hog production ' in 1935, W. W. Shay, swine specialist at State College, has announced. The maximum reduction to be re- j quired by the 1935 contracts will be , 10 percent under the base average for| 1932 and 1933. However, corn grow ers may reduce as much as 30 percent and get benefit payments in propor tion with their reductions. The payments will be $15 a head on the hogs by which the 1935 pro duction will be cut under the base average and 35 cents a bushel on the average corn production of the land withdrawn from corn cultivation. The 1935 contracts will be simpler than those for this year and will per mit land retired from cron to be used in the production of any other crop, save basic commodities, for use as the farmer sees fit. There will be limitation of feeder, pigs bought by one contract signer from another, but the number of feed er pigs bought front a non-signer will be limited to the average number bought by the signer in 1932 and 1933. North Carolina is not confronting a menace of corn-hog over-produc tion, Shay said, and growers will not be urged to sign the contracts. But if they desire to get the liberal bene fi payments, they will be given full opportunity to sign up. -©- | Sunrise Service At Local Church Christmas Day \ A special Christmas sunrise service I will be held at the Plymouth Chris- j tian church Tuesday, December 25, at i 7 a. nt. A very impressive service has been arranged by the pastor, Rev. Nixon A. Taylor. This service is cen- j tered around Christ, the one who right ( fully needs to be emphasized at this season of the year. Special Christmas carols will be sung and short nies-1 sages for the occasion wil lbe deliv ered. The public is cordially invited to attend this service, which will give those who attend the real Christmas spirit. -® Dr. C. McGowan Now In Hospital at Durham The condition of Dr. C. McGowan, who was taken to Duke hospital in Durham for special nose treatment, was reported today to be considerably better than it was last week. Dr. McGowan is a well-known and well-liked physician here and is com mander of the local American Legion pos and counsellor of the local Jun ior Order of United American Me chanics lodge. -® Salt, Pepper $nd Sage Are Used For Home Sausage -® Only salt, black pepper, and sage arc used in seasoning home-made sau sage. The amount to use depends on how much sausage i- to be made. For 50 pounds of meat, 1 pound of table salt, 2 1-2 ounces of ground black pepper, and 2 ounces of sage make a good seasoning. These ingredients should be thoroughly mixed with the meat before it is ground. The amount of this seasoning may be increased or decreased so as to conform to the amount of meat used. Treasurer’s Bond of $15,00G fs Fixed by County Board -* The treasurer's bond of Washing tnn County was fixed at $15,000 by the commissioners in session here Mon day. This bond is to be given by E. G. Arps, who handles the finances for the county. The only change in regard to the new tax gathering system is the min or act of changing the travel expense from $600 for the year to an allowance of 5 cents a mile to Collector J. C. Swain. Bonds for Mrs. 1) M. Mc Knight as coroner, and W. E. Waters as accountant were approved. -g- - PLAN PROGRAM FOR CHRISTMAS AT CRESWELL —— Community Tree and Carol Singing Expected To Be Features -® Cresvvell.—This is the fifth year that Creswell has celebrated tlft Christmas season with a beautiful lighted tree lo cated in the center of Main Street, adding cheer and showing the spirit of cooperation among the people of the different denominations. Christmas Eve at 7 o'clock a tableau will be presented by men here of the different Sunday schools. Also carols will be sung. After this Sayta Claus will make l.is appearance, which always delights the children. Those serving on the committee this year are: Mrs. C. N. Pavenport, sr., and Mrs. O. D. Hatfield, from the "Methodist Protestant church; Bosie Bateman, Clyde Smithson, Miss Lona Weatherly, and Mrs. W. D. Peal, of the Episcopal church; Mrs. A. C. Har ris and Mrs. Clyde Smithson, from the Baptist church; Miss Stella John son and Mrs. H. T. Jackson, from the Methodist Episcopal church. C. N. Davenport, jr., of the Methodist Prot estant Church, is chairman of this committee. ALFALFA FACTS NOW IN BULLETIN V t Many Failures In Growing Alfalfa Is Traceable To Wrong Kind of Seed The first bulletin on alfalfa growing to be published in North Carolina is now ready for free distribution to farmers in this State. The growing interest in alfalfa as a valuable feed and soil-building crop led to the publication of the bulletin, “Aprroved Practices for Alfalfa Grow ers,” by the North Carolina agricul tural experiment station. Although alfalfa is exacting in its soil and cultivation requirements, it is not as hard to raise as many far mers have been led to believes, say the authors of the bulleting, P. H. Kime and If. B. Mann, agronomists at the experiment station. There are soils in practically all sections of North Carolina that will produce good yields of alfalfa. The bulletin lists the types of soil in the different sections which will give the best results. A large percentage of the alfalfa failures have been attributed to the use of the wrong kind of seed. Best adapted to North Carolina conditions is the seed of the common variety, grown in Kansas, Utah, and th Da kotas. Alfalfa will not grow well unless fertilized and cultivated carefully, be ing less vigorous in this respect than most other crops. Hence, the need for reliable information on how to grow the plant is essential to farmers who wish to succeed with it. Copies of the bulletin, extension circular No. 300, may he obtained free upon application to the agricultural editor at State College, Raleigh. Carl Groves Relieved oi Duties With Firm Here -$ Carl L. Groves lias been relieved of all duties in connection with the lo cal unit of the National Handle Com pany, ami about 20 employees have been laid off for an indefinite period. Thomas F. Connors, of Memphis, Tenn., who succeeded Mr. Groves as manager about six weeks ago, is in complete charge of the plant. Mr. Groves came here about 15 years ago and has been with the local plant since then, serving as manager during the last dozen years. Mr. Groves may be transferred to another plant of the chain organiza tion, which has been manufacturing bandies for hoes, forks, and such uten sils. Mr. Groves was well known and well liked here for his civic activ ities in the chamber of commerce and other organizations. Mr. Groves has not served in a managerial postion for some time, but he continued with the company until Saturday. He may be retained and sent to another plant. There was nothing definite today. About 50 men remain on the job at this very mod ern plant. BAILEY MAY BE PRESIDENT PRO TEM OF SENATE Can County on 20 Votes At Present; Columnist Tells Of Chances -® inis same man makes the seem ingly extravagant statement that al most all of tlie Gradys, Outlaws, and Maxwells in fhi- state are kinsmen, ft this is half true, it gives Paul Grady, candidate for president- pro tern of the senate, a good start over his op ponent, Carl L. Bailey. "But don’t be misfed. Mr. Bailey has his following in the senate, where he played an important part in school, tax, and game legislation two years ago.” So writes Bess ftinton Silver, of Rleigh, a columnist who grinds out weekly ‘ Through State Capitol Key holes.” | J he inside story to the candidacy of Mr. Bailey seems to be that he is closer in than the columnist admits. If Mr. Bailey is elected to this post, he is to preside in the absence of Lieu tenant Governor A. H. Graham. The president pro tern is also chairman ex officio of the powerful rules commit tee of this branch. Mr. Bailey has more pledges to vote for him by the coming senate members than President Pro Tempore Clark had on the night he was elected to this ; position in the last legislature. In fact, Mr. Bailey appears to have a good following in the tipper house of j the legislature, where he was very popular last session. There are 50 members of the sen ate. If Mr. Bailey can swing enough : of these to favor him, and with his friends pile up enough before the I election, then he can count himself in I this important place. Unless friends i bertay, Mr. Bailey can now count on 1 close to 20 of this number. Even if Mr. Grady gets a like num ber to champion his cause, there can he a battle for the other 10 members. It is hoped by many from this section that Mr. Bailey can land this import ant post. If so, he will be the first president pro tempore of the senate from this section in years and might be for all time. GIVE HINTS FOR CURING SUPPLY PORK AT HOME Curing Is a Race Between Bacteria Growth and the Penetration of Salt Meat curing is a race between the j growth of bacteria and the penetra tion of salt into tbe meat, says Earl H. Hostetler, in charge of livestock research for the North Carolina Ex periment Station. By keeping the meat chilled to check the growth of bacteria, farmers may materially aid salt in winning the race, lie added. A temperature of 37 degrees should be maintained throughout the curing period. Meat can be cured at higher temperatures, he said, but the losses are greater. A temperature lower than 37 degrees will retard curing. A little sugar and saltpeter added to the curing mixture will add Havor and color to the meat. Eight pounds of salt, 2 pounds of sugar, and 2 ounces of saltpeter is a satndard recipe for curing 100 pounds of pork, Hostet ler continued. The cure may be applied either as a brine or a dry mixture. The brine cure is made by dissolving the salt, sugar, and saltpeter in 4 1-2 gallons of water and submerging the meat in tiiis solution. in the dry method, about one-third of the mixture is rubbed on when the meat is put in cure, another third 3 to 5 days later, and the remainder about 10 days after the first application. In the dry cure, the time required for bacon strips and other thin cuts is about one day per pound; loins a bout 1 1-2 days per pound; joint meat, hams, or shoulders, two to three days per pound. Joint meat, hams, and shoulders will brine cure in four days per pound. A mild brine cure for loins, bacon strips, and spareribs is made by dissolving the mixture given above in 5 1-2 gal lons of water. Spare ribs should brine cure in 5 to 7 days, and average weight bellies and loins in two or three weeks. Local Negro Makes Living Selling Willow Furniture -® Limbs from willow trees have been a source of livelihood for Hen Mc Neil, of West Water Street here. He takes the pliable limbs and bends them into the shapes of chairs, settees, flower boxes and such furniture. Front this comes well-shaped furniture that is used mostly on porches and some-! times in yards. During the last few weeks McNeil has turned out 25 pieces of this crude but desirable furniture. Many of the white people have been patronizing the ambitious colored man. ONLY 4 DAYS \K-' i There are now only four more shopping days before Chrsitmas. Those who are late in securing their Christmas gifts and groceries as well as other merchandise are urged to begin their buying now to avoid the rush of Saturday and Monday. Also you now have a wider variety to choose from. Business houses here are loaded with seasonable merchandise. It can be bought at a reasonable price. Plenty of clerks to serve the shoppers. Every store is dec orated!, and the merchandise is cleverly arranged and displayed to make it attractive. This year the stocks here are more varied and larger than in years with prices right. This in centive is a greater inducement for home shopping than has been the case in recent years. The clerks are ready. The store are ready. “Buy now" is the watchword. $50,000 IN COUNTY LOANED BY HOLC $30,000 Has Been Approved With $20,000 More Pending -® Indications now are that close to $50,000 will he loaned to owners to redeem their property from mortgagees in Washington County during the op eration of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, according to an estimate by C, L. Bailey, who represents the legal department of this organization in this county. Already upwards of $50,000 have been loaned for refiancing these mort gages, and it is thought by the time the loans that are approved and now waiting action of the legal department, that $20,000 will be added to this a mount, making the total given in the first paragraph. The number of applicants could not be determined, but it was said that the highest approved loan was for $5, 000, while none of the others was less than $500. This organization has meant much to this county, and the property of many has been saved through this governmental agency. GOOD MILK COWS DESERVE A REST -® Need at Least Six Weeks of Rest Between the Lactation Periods The fact that dairy cows apparently live an easy life doesn’t mean their bodies are not taxed heavily by the work of producing milk, says John Arey, dairy extension specialist at State College. Milchers need at least six weeks of rest between lactation periods, he said, to give them opportunity to re build their body tissues and bony structurers. During the first few weeks after calving, the cows usually give olf in milk more food nutrients than is con tained in the feed she eats. Conse quently, cows should have a reserve stored up in their bodies during the rest period. A lack of it will restrict milk production and impair their physical condition. Heavy producing cows, when on of ficial test, often draw on the mineral matter of their skeletons to such an extent that he bones break easily. Such cows need a two-month rest so they can rebuild their bony structure. During the rest period the grain ration should contain a liberal sup ply of minerals. The following is suggested by Arey: two parts of corn meal, two of wheat bran, one of cot tonseed meal, two percent of steam bone meal, and one percent of com mon salt. These parts should be de termined by weight and not by dry measure. A sufficient quantity of grain should be fed during the rest period, together with good pasturage in the summer and legume hay in the winter, so the cow wil be in good flesh at freshening time. Heavy milkers need more grain than average good milk ers, which can get along with a mod erate amount of grain if plenty of pas turage and legume hay is available. i i -3?

Liverman’s store. All the kiddies are urged to meet and greet him at the station. He will have gifts for all. -® Candlelight Service at Methodist Church 23rd The public is cordially invited to at tend the Candlelight Service at the Methodist church Sunday evening, De cember 23, at 7:30 o’clock. FARM OUTLOOK FOR NEXT YEAR IS VERY BRIGHT United States Agricultural Bureau Of Economics Sums Up^Situation According to a report released re cently by the Lnited States Bureau of Agricultural Economics the farming outlook for the year just ahead is en couraging. The bureau sums up the situation as follows: Greatly reduced supplies of most agricultural products with some im provement in consumer purchasing power are expectej to bring about a higher level of farm income during the first half of 1935 than during the fir-t half of 1934. harm production will be larger than the unusually small production of 1934. Higher prices this year may tend to stimulate excessive planting of some crops in 1935, particularly where adjustment programs are not in effect. A small improvement in the pur chasing power of farm families may be expected except in the areas se verely affected by the drought where incomes will be low until new crops are marketed. The wheat situation in 1935 will depend largely upon yields but the probability is that the United States will have a considerable export sur plus of wheat in 1935-36. A further reduction in worl^J carry over of American cotton is expected by August 1 next, even should world consumption be less this season than last. World supply of all cotton for the 1934-35 season is estimated at 5 to 10 percent less than the record supply of 1933-34, but considerably more than for any year prior to 1931-32. A usbstantial advance in p;ices of all meat animals is expected. Num bers and weights of animals slaughter ed will be reduced, and the general quality and finish of these animals will be much below average. Supplies of feed grains Ibis year are the smallest since 1881 due to the unprecedented drought, and the num ber of meat animals on farms at the end of this year will be the smallest since 1899. A generally favorable outlook for poultrymeu this winter is seen, except in severe drought areas where scarcity of grain forced drastic reduction in poultry stocks. Supplies of eggs and poultry will be relatively short until next summer when chickens of next year’s hatching begin to affect sup plies. Prices of poultry products are expected to continue at seasonably high levels until that time. Turkey prices are expected to be higher this year on account of the moderately smaller crop and reduced supplies of other meats. A more favorable market outlook for commercial truck crops for fresh market shipment is seen, in view of higher wholesale food prices, and the reduced supplies of meats, dairy prod ucts and poultry products. The dairy outlook this feeding sea son is stated to be unfvaorable on account of the shortage in hay and grain. Prices of hay and grain are higher in comparison with the price of butterfat than in any previous fall since 1911. Slightly greater demand for sweet potatoes is expectej next year. A considerable decrease in cabbage acre age is likely on account of current low prices. Tomato growers, encouraged by 1934 prices, may produce an ex cessive market supply next year. An expansion of watermelon acreage next year may result in excessive produc tion and a substantial reduction in the income for growers. A much larger than usual propor tion of the peanut crop is expected to be diverted to crushers, and less than the usual quantity sent to clean ers and shelters. Higher prices for peanut oil and peanut meal made it possible for crushers to pay more for peanuts. Potato supplies in 1935 probably as large or slightly larger than in 1934 may be produced if average weather conditions prevail. Normal yields on the expected average will produce a larger crop than can he marketed to advantage, the report summary con cludes. Turn Car Over in Effort To Avoid Hitting Train .-— yUnsdstlted' after their automobile had turned over in a ditch on highway No. 90 Tuesday night at the union station, two young men of Windsor sent for their damaged car Monday, which was taken to them. The young men, whose last names are Hohbs and Gilliam, and whose first names could not be secured by those who aided them, were coming toward Plymouth when suddenly they saw the headlights of the midnight freight, and, acting hastily, they ditched their car rather than hit the train. Neither was hurt. Lloyd Owens, of Plymouth, took the young men to their homes, and Mr. Owens with Bill Arps helped extricate one of the men from the car, which was holding him be neath it.
