Are Completed
-®
The Washington County Women’s
WPA sewing rooms are doing splen
did work for the two weeks they
have been in progress, and a goodly
number of garments are ready to be
turned over to the county for distri-i
bution. There are four sewing rooms
in operation, two in Plymouth sec
tion, one in Roper, and one in Cres
well, 42 women are employed. It |
is hoped the project can be enlarged
and employment given to more
women later on.
The U. S. employment office in
Edenton sends the assignments to
workers, and it is only those who
have the priority in employment in
their family and have had direct or
work relief in May or July that are
assigned to WPA projects. Only one
person in a family may be given em
ployment. Mrs. W. C Brewer, coun-l
ty supervisor of Women’s Projects, j
wishes to state she is unable to give
employment to any one.
The material for the sewing proj
ect is given by the government. The
rent, fuel and furnishings are solicit
ed from the communities. Splendid
cooperation has been given from
each community, as it has been in
years past. Washington County has |
always demonstrated this spirit to
ward a worth-while work benefiting ,
those who are in need. Mrs. Brewer 1
wishes to express her appreciation ,
to those who have assisted in getting
these projects in operation.

Prison Camp Near j
Here Abandoned
Prisoners must be moved from the
camp near the new Washington
County Home as early as possible,
according to instructions issued to ,
the State Highway and Public
Works Commission by the Washing- ,
ton County commissioners, who do |
not want the unsightly buildings and
the environment near the new and
beautiful county home.
It is not known what move the
highway forces will make. It is
thought that the prison camp will
be placed somewhere else in the
county. The other buildings will
possibly be taken down or moved;
back from the road.
The commissioners also asked Re
corder John W. Darden to vacate his
room in the courthouse for a super
ior court library. The commission
ers will meet again in special ses
sion Monday, December 9.

Time Required To
Cure Sweet Potatoes
--• —
It usually takes about two weeks
for proper curing of sweet pota
toes with the temperature maintain
ed at 80 to 85 degrees. Plenty of'
ventilation, however, must be given
during the curing in order to drive
off all moisture. Watch the pota-'
toes carefully and when the buds
show a tendency to sprout and the
skin feels “velvety” the curing is
completed. After curing, allow the
temperature to drop to about 50 de
grees F. and keep it as close to that
mark as possible while the potatoes
are kept in storage.

Chevrolet Ring Gear
Has An Extra Tooth[
Instead of 132 teeth, as heretofore,
Chevrolet now provides 133 teeth in
the flywheel ring gear, by which the
starter spins the engine. This extra
tooth—calling a “hunting” tooth—
permits a finer finish in manufacture
since the teeth on the cutting tool
dc not cut on the same teeth teeth
of the gear as it revolves.

COTTON CROP OF
STATE SMALLEST
OF MANY YEARS
_a>_
i
Mann Says It Is Folly To
Dump Cotton on Market
• Too Rapidly
Pointing out that North Carolina’s
estimated cotton cron of 615,000
bales is the smallest in more than a
quarter of a century, M. G. Mann,
general manager of the North Caro
lina Cotton Growers Co-operative
Association, has warned farmers
that “it is folly to dump your cot
ton on the market without regard
fcr the highest price plus your full
I premiums foi better grades and
I staples.”
i
"With such a short crop staring
I us in the face, far-sighted farmers
certainly should strive to get every
dollar they can for their cotton,”
Mr. Mann said. “This cannot be ac
complished by ‘dumping’.”
Pointing out that 70 percent of the
North Carolina crop is running 15-16
and better in length and that more
than 35 percent of the crop is above
middling, Mr. Mann said that it is
good business for the farmer to mar
ket his crop orderly and in such a
> manner as to get the full premium
i'oi his better grades and staples.
“Our deliveries are running ahead
of last year, end this in the face of
ti short crop," Mr. Mann said. He
attributed the increase in deliveries
to the Repurchase Pool,” announced
by the Cotton Association this year
for the first time.
Under the Ke-Furchase Fool
plan a farmer can place his cotton
w ilh the association where it w-ill
be classed according to government
!standards. He can draw an advance
|of 10 cents a pound upon delivery
'end when he is ready to sell he can
|ask the Association to quote him
the highest price it can secure for
l.is cotton. He can then ask his lo
| cal cotton buyer or cotton mill for a
pi ice, and if the price quoted him
c- the outside is better than what
the Association can offer, the farmer
can get his cotton back and sell it
'to the one offering the most money.
“Never again,” Mr. Mann said,
"will any farmer be forced to sell
Ids cotton without knowing just as
| much about its grade and staple
'value as the man who buys it
: knows.”

Peanut Picker, 103
Bags Peanuts Are
Destroyed by Fire
Owner Believes Blaze Was
Of Incendiary Origin;
$1,000 Loss
Damage estimated at more than
$1,000 was done when the peanut
picker owned by John Atamanchuk
burned last Thursday on a farm at
Garrett’s Island, near Plymouth.
The picker itself was badl> dam
aged, with all of the wooden parts,
including the frarpe, destroyed. Hay
and 103 bags of peanuts valued at
close to $400 was also burned. The
peanuts were owned jointly by R. W.
Johnston andClaude Spruill. The
picker was on the farm now' occu
pied by Mr. Spruill.
Mr. Atamanchuk alleges that the1
fire was of incendiary origin and
that he had been advised through
his wife by a competitor that unless
he charged the price of 25 cents a
bag for threshing the peanuts that
something might happen to his ma
chine. He was doing the work for
20 cents a bag, like some of the oth
ers.
Mr. Atamanchuk sent his son,
Mike, to the picker early in the
morning to prepare to move the ma-i
chine to another field. The young
man found it in a blaze. Mr. Ata
manchuk says he took the usual pre- j
cautions to prevent fire by sw'eeping'
the hay aw'ay and removing from!
around the picker anything that was
dry and that could be easily fired j
Officers here have not issued any:
papers in connection with the fire,'
although it is expected that an in-1
vestigalion will be made to deter-j
mine if some one did purposely start!
the blaze. Some of those at the fire!
intimated that the fire burned like!
one that was started by gasoline and
it spread rapidly with rolls of thick
smoke whirling into the sky.

Charles M. Johnson
Invited To Meeting
Of County Board
Hope To Devise Mc^ns of
Financing New School
At Cresweii
-»
An invitation has been extended
to Charles M. Johnson, of Raleigh,
secretary of the local government
commission, to attend a meeting of
the Washington County Commission
ers in the near future to discuss a
system of refinancing the county’s
bonded indebtedness with a view to
toward getting funds for a new
school building in Cresweii.
More than a year ago specifications
and plans and an application for a
loan and grant of $100,(J00 through
the FERA was placed with Julian
Gibbs, district director of the gov
ernment agency, who sent it through
to the state officials and who, in
turn, placed it with the finance com
mittee of the Federal government.
However, nothing definite ha.
been learned about the status of th
matter until H. H. McLean, super
intendent of public instruction, and
P. H. Darden, member of the board
of education, went to Raleigh las;
week for the purpose of learning
something on which to relv. Thev
found that the State FERA had ap
proved enough projects to take care
of the allotment for this state, thus
leaving out the Creswell school.
After a discussion of the matter,
the school officials found themselves
utterly helpless in the matter, so
they turned to the Washington
County Commissione's for aid in the
matter. The commissioners were ae
so visited by a delegation from Cres
well with J. W Starr as the leader.
The commissioners promised them
something would be done about the
matter.
Realizing they were in default on
bonds and interest the commission
ers have asked Mr. Johnson to come
down here and help them out of the
dilemma. They wish a scheme for
reorganization and refinancing of
the county’s indebtedness in order
to be allowed the privilege of issu
ing bonds for the purpose of secur
ing funds for use in constructing a
school building in Creswell that wrill
be adequate for the large number of
children that attend that school in
crowded conditions daily.
Unless some local system can be
arranged for financing the school,
these Creswell people face a dark
future for education. Crowded
school rooms, an ill-kept building
that needs repairs and improvements
to make more comfortable, are the
causes of this request from the Cres
well folk who want equal privileges
with Plymouth and Roper for their
pupils.
