Agriculture Department In
dicates Outlook for 1936
Very Favorable
Washington.—Prospects for to
bacco to maintain price levels in
1S36 were said recently by the agri
culture department to be ‘‘favor
able.”
However, decreases in the produc
tion of the flue cured, Maryland leaf
and fire cured tobacco were re
ported “advisable.”
“Although it is true many types
that the carry-over continues to be
larger than normal,” the depart
ment’s 1936 crop outlook report
said, “the situation during the last
year was improved to such an ex
tent that with a continuation of pro
duction control the price outlook
for the coming year may be con
sidered favorable.
Increase domestic consumption of
cigarettes and cigars was pointed to
as a bright sign of recovery.
A marked decrease in exports
was reported for the past year. The
report said, however, that prices
were now more favorable for for
eign sales.
With a moderate decrease in pro
duction of flue cured next year, the
report said the outlook for the cigar
ette type tobacco is for favorable
prices.
Loss On Check Split
By Lumber Firms
—®—
No court action was necessary to
secure a settlement among the three
who were concerned in the transac
tion that netted Bill Frazier, an em
ployee of E. H. Harris Lumber Com- j
pany, a total of $67.47, with which |
he suddenly departed.
It was reported that Frazier told j
J. S. Whitley, of Williamston, to j
make the check for a load of lum
ber payable to him so that he could
gel it cashed and bring the needed
money to Harris. He came back to
town and P. M. Arps cashed the I
check after it was properly endorsed
Mi. Whitley learned something was !
wrong and stopped payment on the
check.
Later the three got together. Mr.
Arps received the full amount of the
check he cashed, and Mr. Whitley
paid Mr. Harris half of the amount j
due for the load of lumber. Thus
Mr. Harris and Mr. Whitley share i
equally in the loss.
Driver of Death Car
Is Acquitted by Jury '
L. K. Spruill, driver of the car
in which Joe T. Spruill was riding
when he was killed by being thrown
from the rumble seat onto the pave
ment here several days ago, was ac
quitted by a jury in recorder’s court
here Monday.
ine driver 01 me car in wnicn me i
victim was riding was a brother of j
the deceased. He was haled into I
court on a charge of reckless driving.
This will probably end the investi
gation and prosecution of the case,
as Guy Tripp, of Greenville, driver
of the second car that was in collis
ion with the Spruill car, has not
been indicted.

Arrest Local Man
For Driving Drunk
—i—
George Harrison, local plumber
and well known middle-aged white
man of this place, is expected to be
tried next week in Williamston on
a charge of drunken driving, caused
by his arrest in Williamston last Sat
urday night. He was at home on
Tuesday under bond for his appear
ance.
Fall Planting of
Roses Suggested
—®—'
In those sections where the tem
perature never goes below 5 degrees
above zero, fall planting of roses
is best, as the plants set at that
time will make better growth the
first season. The planting, however,
should not be made until the leaves
have fallen from most of the trees
and shrubs. Only field-grown, dor
mant plants should be selected for
fall planting. Set the plants two or ;
three inches deeper than they were j
in the nursery row or pot and wide
enough apart to permit the roots to
spread out as they naturally grow. I
Where the temperature runs below j
5 degrees spring planting is prefer
able.
I ERECT MARKERS I
vJ
Taking the view that resi
dents of this little county should
know the exact boundaries of the
county, Frank L. Brinkley, a
member of the board of com
missioners, has been appointed
to assure the erection of coun
ty markers between Washington
and Hyde, and Washington and
Beaufort.
Already the road has signs
showing the borders of Martin
and Washington Counties and
Trrell Counties. No north side
markers are needed as the Ro
anoke River provides this mar
ker.
Charles Kale was named en
gineer by the county for work
on the Roper Newlands road
project which is now' being built.
More Profit Now in
Poultry Than for
Past Several Years
Danger of Lowering Quality
Of Flocks Is Warned
Against \
With higher egg prices and more
efficient management of their flocks,
North Carolina poultrymen have
been making bigger profits in 1935
than in the past several years.
This is giving a healthy impetus
to the poultry industry said C. J.
Maupin, extension poultry specialist
at State College.
but he warned ot the danger tnat
over-zealous poultrymen, in an ef
fort to produce the greatest possible|
number of eggs, may lower the
quality of their flocks by keeping
culls with the other birds.
Although feed prices have been t
going up, he added, the better man-!
aged flocks have attained a state of
efficiency great enough, in some
cases, to more than off-set the high
er cost of feed.
In 109 demonstrations over the
State during the month of Septem
ber, for example, according to rec
ords just completed at the college
poultry department, the average re
turn above feed costs was 14 cents
for each bird.
September is an off month in egg
pioduction, Maupin pointed out,
yet the flock averages were more
than 10 eggs per bird, or a little over
standard reduction for the month.
The averages include all birds in
the flocks, both those which are lay
ing well and those whiclt have
either stopped laying or almost stop
ped, Maupin brought out.
The average sale price of eggs dur
mg the month was 33 cents a dozen,
er 3.4 cents higher than the same
month a year ago and 8 cents high- j
a than in September, 1933.

MRS. JOHN S. BROWN
HOSTESS AT BRIDGE
The home ol Mrs. John S. Brown
was the scene of a most delightful j
contract bridge party on Tuesday j
evening, at which three tables of
players greatly enjoyed many inter- \
csting progressions.
With choice chrysanthemums of'
every hue predominating in the flor-,
a! decorations and attractive bridge
lamps lending their brilliance, it be
came a cheery affair.
Mrs. H. Marion Ramsey received
an attractive piece of rainbow pot
tery for high score, while Mrs. John

County Club Girl
Writes of Six Weeks’
Stay at Youth Camp
-■-«&
Mildred Robbins One of 75
Girls Selected From
This State
By MILDRED ROBBINS
I was one of the seventy-five girls
Selected from North Carolina to go
I to the National Youth Camp at
Neuse Forest. At first I did not like
, the idea of being away from home
for six weeks, but I finally wen'.
Left here Monday, September 9, ar
rived at New Bern about 1 o’clock
and was met at the bus station and
carried out to Neuse Forest, which
is about three miles from New Bern
oi. the Morehead City highway.
Some of the other girls had already
arrived, and some had not, but they
were all there by bedtime.
We had 15 instructors, which in
cluded Mrs. C. T. Warizer, of Char
lotte, as director; Miss Nan Smith, of
Scotland Neck, as arts and crafts in
structor; Miss Helen Badham, of
Eclenton, and Mrs. Mary Hughes, of
New Bern, as English teachers. This
was very important, as some of the
girls had only finished the fifth
grade. Then tlrere was the discus
sion class, of which Mrs. Lucille
Frost was the instructor. Mrs. Maur
ico Durham, of Wilmington, and
Mrs. Ray Jones, of New Bern, were
instructors in the home-making class
Miss Vera Ault, of Charlotte, was
the camp nurse, and she also taught
a home hygiene class and a practi
cai nursing class. Miss Wan Crow,
of Raleigh, and Miss Helen Cutting,
of Mount Olive, were instructors in
physical education classes; and Hel
en Cutting was also life guard. Miss
Helen Dortch, of Goldsboro, was in
structor of dramatics, Miss Elizabeth
Green, of Mooresville, was house
manager, Miss Louise Nagle, of Ra
leigh, pianist, and last, but no means
least, Mrs. W. K. Richardson, of
Dover, was dietitian.
The rising bell w'as at 7 o’clock,
and we had breakfast at 7:30; then,
our classes began at 8:30 and lasted |
until 11:30. Had lunch at 1 o'clock j
and the afternoons were spent in any
kind of recreation that we cared for,
such as baseball, volley ball, horse
shoe pitching, swimming and ping
pong. Had supper at 6, and after;
supper games were played until bed
time, which was 10:30. The girls!
were allowed to have dates on Tues- ’
days and Sundays. However, they
were accompanied by a chaperone
if they wanted to go for a ride or to
New Bern to the movies.
The people of New Bern were very j
nice to us. They sent cars out each!
Sunday to take us to whateverj
church we wished to attend, and inj
tlie afternoon there w'as Sunday,
school at the chapel right near the!
camp. They had Sunday school
there the entire six weeks that we]
were at camp so the girls could at-!
lend Sunday school if they wished. I
There are only two camps for]
white girls in North Carolina. One!
is located at Brevard, near Ashe
\ ifle, that opened before Neuse For-!
est, so it closed September 21. Neuse,
Forest is located on the Neuse River]
and is a very pretty place for a j
camp. All the girls gained weigh*!
while they were there, some as much '
as 10 pounds a week.
•rtii oi us w#ere sorry wnen our six
weeks were up. We left for home
Sunday, October 20, and I, for one,'
enjoyed my six weeks there very
much.

By W. V. HAYS, County Agent
A few of us seriously conside. d
the problem of soil management
practices or what is commonly term
ed crop rotation. One of our best
agricultural minds recently said
that production was due to three
Hungs, equally divided: namely, cul
tivation, fertilizer and lime, and.
third, rotation. His idea was that ,
proper rota tic: ns without fertilizer
were equivalent to straight crop- ,
ping with fertilizer.
Two outstanding pieces of tobacco
ibis year clearly demonstrates the
profitableness of crop rotation, the
ve.lue of following sweet potatoes
with tobacco and shows what com
post will do for tobacco. Sweet po
tatoes in a semi-commercial way
would pay, even if potatoes bring
DnJy the cost of production, when
you consider the dollars and cents
worth of tobacco sold from this acre.
A compost pile is lots of trouble
hut may be built at very little ex
pense at odd times through the win
let. A log pen is sufficient and
Farm
tVhere plenty ot bedding is kept in
.he stables and stock pen only long
enough to absorb the moisture and
.e broken down by packing one
ivili be surprised how many tons of
compost will accumulate through the
.-/inter on even the smaller farms.
Pine Straw is ofie of the best thing-;
'.o use in stables as far as the fer
ilizing value of bedding material is
concerned. Some of the best tobacco
growers say that well-rotted com
rest of this, kind is worth $5 per car*
oad where tobacco is grown on pooi
;andy land.
Extremely bad cases of corn weev
1 have been reported from practi
cally every section of the county. By
chanting trap crops two or three!
.veeks earlier or by planting a few j
c.ws of extremely early corn on the1
extreme edges of the field along;
voods, swamps or pasture and cut-j
ing this corn green or before it ma
.ures completely and feeding it to
stock, the weevil damage will be!
oraclicaly destroyed. Where the
'arms are comparatively small for
-cod results it is necessary lor the
ccmmunity to follow this prat .ice.

Post mastership at
( reswell Is Likely
To Be Open in 1936
Aplicaticns To Be Received
For Position Until
November 22
-<*>
A vacancy is scheduled for the po
sition of postmaster at Creswell next
spring and aspirants to this position
have until November 22 to file ap
plications for the privilege of tak
ing an open competitive examination
for the office.
It is expected that appointment
will be made as a result of this ex
amination unless it is found in the
interest of the service to fill the va
cancy by transfer or promotion. This
is not an examination under Civil
Service Acts and Rules, but is held
under an executive order of July 12,
1933. providing for such procedure.
The date for the assembling of
competitiors will be stated on the
at fission cards sent applicants aft
er the date for the close of receipt of
applications and will be about 15
days after that date.
Mrs. Alice Phelps Starr, wife of
J. W. Starr, has been postmistress
at Creswell for about 20 years. Be
fore then her mother, Mrs. Ida
Phelps, wife of John Phelps, was
postmistress in Plymouth. It is rum
oied that she will not be reappoint
ed, but this is not definite.
So far as could be learned here,
Mrs. Starr has served well during
the score of years she has been in
Creswell and many will regret her
leaving, if she is not reappointed or
if she refuses to accept.

To Set Up More Complete,
Market Information
Service Soon

With the appointment of Rufus H
Fage, jr., as assistant extension foi
■_rler at State College, the forestry
program is being expanded to meet
l: e growing demand for forestry in
formation.
R. W. Gaeber, extension forester,
said, “We expect to set up a more
crmplete market information serv
ice as quickly as the data from mills
and other wood-using industries can
bo gathered.
“We shall offer farmers more help
in estimating the volume and value
of their marketable timber, and will
cooperate with farmers and saw-mill
operators in adopting better methods
of harvesting the trees so as to in
sure a continuous crop of growing
timber.
“Our program of forest planting
end timber thinning will be in
creased. W'o will a.isisi with the1
TVA demonstration farms in the 15
mountain counties of this state, I
where the TVA program is being
carried or.. Soil conservation and
erosion control will also come with
in the field of our work.”

TURNED DOWN
v.j
Officials here could not agree
on a suggestion that it was nec
essary to reduce the town of
Plymouth’s revenue about S300 a
year and then spend close to S2,
000 for a rest room in the old
market building here, so the
matter has been dropped.
However, a committe, includ
ing P. W. Brown and E. H. Liver
man, are investigating the avail
ability of other buildings which
would cost much less to repair,
renovate and install plumbing
fixtures. This will report some
time at an early date.
The WPA project for the mar
ket building is therefore turned
down. Their help might be
sought on a new place, but it
may be too late for this now.

sored by Legion Foot
Armistice Day
"Celebration of this Armistice Day
recalls to our minds 1hat 17 years
age the American soldiers with the
Allies, won a great victory for free
government and the great task to
c.ay is to retain this free govern
ment despite the efforts of those,
who, under the guise of economy and
efficiency, would take from the peo
ple the right to run local affairs and
elect their officers,” said R. T Foun
tain, of Rocky Mount, candidate for
the United States Senate, before a
large Armistice Day crowd here on
Monday.
"It is the responsibility of the
present generation that they appre
ciate and continue the government
handed down from our forefathers
and which was protected by our sol
diers on the battlefields opposing a
icreign power that wished to usurp
authority and rule our own people
by a harsh hand.”
The speaker, in conclusion, stated,
but not as a part of his address, that
the government was able to pay the
adjusted compensation certificates
due the veterans of the World War.
He stated that he had made his
position clear on this point four
years ago at an American Legion
convention in Greensboro. “Paying
me soiajers now will not create a
new debt, and if the soldiers ever
have needed if, they need it now,
and not only will the soldiers be
benefited but it will stimulate busi
ness,” concluded the speaker.
Names of the following soldiers
who gave their lives or have died
since the war was read by Dr. C.
McGowan, commander of the post,
in the memorial service: James E.
Jethro, Clarence Ausbon, Avery
Gaylord, H, V. Austin, George Har
rison, Hilliary Arps, Frank Sawyer,
Lloyd Chesson, Edgar Barnes, Na
than McAllister, Buck Spruill, Wil
bur Harrington, Reynolds Daven
port, Charlie V. White, Captain
Charles Mizelle, Dennie Baynor, and
Carroll Lucas.
Music for the event was provided
by J- E. Aiken and his band. Mayor
Gilbert Davis introduced Dr. C. Mc
Gowan, who introduced Mr. Foun
tain. A dance in the evening cli
maxed tlie event. A parade with
only soldiers, their sons and school
children was a feature, with about
250 in the line of march.
Adding interest and enthusiasm
to the outdoor exercises was an avi
ator, who thrilled the crowds with
stunts high above the town in the
