President of County Farm Bureau Unit Outlines Organization s Aims Now Working To Secure Passage of Control Legislation Would Benefit Growers of Peanuts, Potatoes, Cot ton and Tobacco -$ Efforts to get control legislation for growers of peanuts, potatoes, tobacco and cotton are important activities of the Farm Bureau at this time, ac cording to W. Dewey Phelps, presi dent of the Washington County Bureau “The Farm Bureau Is an organiza tion for farm people, and there are many reasons sufficient to Justify ev ery farmer of becoming a member at the small cost of $2 a year and help in the fight for parity prices for farm products,” continued Mr. Phelps. “The Farm Bureau set up the Pea nut Stabilization Cooperative and fixed the price of number 3, grade A peanuts at 3 1-4 cents. Shellers themselves admit that peanuts would IT'S IN The Bag AND YOU’LL FIND THE BAG AT ROSE’S Gifts For Everybody Here you will find everything you are look ing for for Christmas.

"A peanut test farm and increased , appropriations for research work for peanuts was secured through the last legislature by the Farm Bureau, and they got through the same legislature a scrap tobacco law. Tobacco parity prices have been maintained because of the bureau's fight. "The bureau is pledged to secure reduction of automobile licenses to $5 each and a special $5 license for farm-to-market trucks. “They are also trying to get a move ment through to develop the North Carolina limestone quarries by the State Highway Commission for road material and agricultural limestone at cost to the farmers. "It is desired that adequate ap propriations be made for county agent work, vocational agriculture and research work, and to coordinate all agricultural agencies in the state, both sta.e and national, for efficiency and economical operation; and to fight all harmful amendments to the general farm bill. “These and many other reasons are sufficient to justify every farmer to become a member, which costs only $2 annually. Fifty cents stays in the county organization, $1 in the s ate, and 50 cents goes to the na tional organization. “The national money is being used in Washington, D. C., to support the farm workers there in their national legislative program, through which they seek to give the farmer his fair share of the national income,” con cluded Mr. Phelps. -<j> Old-Age Insurance Payments Increase In Recent Weeks —®— Field Man Says There Are Still Many Thousands Entitled To Claims -— The stadily increasing number of lump-sum cash payments under the Social Security Act indicates that claimants are becoming a little bet ter informed as to their rights. There are still many thousands of people entitled to claims, who have not yet filed, however, Mr. Adams of the Rocky Mount field office, said this week. Up to November 15, 2,051 claims have been certified for payment if Region IV, which comprises North Carolina, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and West Vir ginia. Total claims received up to November 15, 1937; District of Co cumbia 173; Maryland 622; Virginia 395; West Virginia 388. The average amount of the pay ment has also increased, Mr. Adams stated. During the month of October the average amount of lump-sum payments, under the old-age insur ance provisions of the Social Se curity Act was $24.04 in this Region as compared with $18.03 in Septem ber. The average for the country as a whole was $26.40. The mehod of making claim for these payments is very simple, Mr. Adams said. Field Offices of the So cial Security Board will contact pros Hog - Killing Time Brings Plenty of Work—And Ffark Number Suggestions for Sue* cessful Handling of Meat Outlined by Specialist -% “Hog-kiillng time How this ex pression stirs the activity of the farm family as cold weather arrives! “It means pleanty of hard work, but it also means fresh pork, sausage, spare ribs, liver pudding, cracklin’ corn bread—filling the smoke-house,” said Prof. R. E. Nance, of State Col lege. A moderately cool day, with the weather above freezing. Is better than a bitter cold day for hog-killing, he continued. Stop feeding the hogs 24 hours be fore they are to be slaughtered. It is easier to clean and dress the car cass when the digestive tract is emp ty. And when the system is not gorg ed with food, the blood will drain out more readily. Don't overheat or excite the animals before killing. Getting the hog wrought-up produces a feverish con dition that prevents proper bleeding and causes the meat to sour while in cure. For scalding the carcass. Professor Nance said that water at a temper ature of 150 degrees is best. In cold weather, add a bucket of cold water to half a barrel of boiling water, and this will give about the right temperature. Or dip the finger into the water quickly. If it bums severely the first time, it is too hot. But if the finger can be dipped in three times in quick succession, with the water burning severely the third time, the temperature is about right. A vat sunk into the ground beside a platform close to the ground level provides a convenient place to scald the carcass and scarpe off the hair. Tools that will aid in dressing the carcass are: A common six or eight inch butcher knife, a six-inch skinn ing knife, a smoth steel for sharpen ing knives, several hog gambrel sticks, two bell shaped hog scrapers, and a 28-inch meat saw. pective climants, when it is indi cated that they may be eligible for a benefit, and explain and help the claimants to execute the necessary forms. The lump- sum payments that are being made now became effective January 1, 1937. Monthly payments do not become operative until 1942. Persons eligible for lump- sum pay ments are those in covered employ ment after 1936 who have reached the age of 65. Payments are also being made to relatives and estates of workers, who have died since Jan uary 1, 1937. The local Social Security Board Field Office office, in Rocky Mount, offers every facility free of charge to aid those who have claims.

Satterthwaite Threshing License Law W ill Be Aid To t armors. Hays Says —$— Puts Peanuts Growers of This Section in Good Position For Government Aid North Carolina's foresight in revis- : ing and reinstating its old threshing license law has put the peanut grow ers in a good position for the gov ernment grower benefit programs, ac-■ cording to County Agent W. V. Hays. "However,” says Mr. Hays, “un less better compliance with this law is given by the ‘picker’ operators, this advantage will be lost.” Now that Congress has passed a Federal law requiring virtually the same thing from all states, this state holds the advantage of having past j records and already established ma chinery for collecting this basic pea nut information, “and the real ad- j vantage depends on how completely these records are collected,” Mr. Hays said. Mrs. Mary Smith Cahoon, register j of deeds, is the local key official. She issues the threshing license at a nom inal fee to cover correspondence and such necessities. Each peanut picker operator is required by law to ob tain this license, if they operate. Operators who pick their crop on y must be licensed and make reports, but they pay no fee. With the li cense is given a daily memoranda pocke. booklet, which the operator retains for his own information; how ever, a summary report sheet is fur nished on which the notebook in formation is copied. Thus, the harvested crop data is secured in a confidential way. These individual records are not open to public inspection but sent to the State Department of Agriculture for development into county information and used as a basis for the govern ment programs. County Agent Hays can use this information to definite local advan tage. Any peanut-picker operator who has not done so should immediately get such license from Mrs. Mary S. Cahoon, register of deeds, as there is a heavy penalty for noncompliance, and the department of agriculture is required and expects to enforce com pliance with these acts. “The passage of the Federal law adds emphasis to the need for this information and the compliance of the law,” says Mr. Hays.
