( CXTCNSION WORK I am quoting below a statement of policy by the director of the east central division of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration: "In as suming the responsibilities of direc tor of the east central division, I should like to reemphasize the dem ocratic principle of farmer admin istration of the AAA program, to which I am thoroughly committed, I know that every other farm leader in the east central region is commit ted to the same principle. Farmers are thoroughly capable of building and administering programs that will best serve the interests of the farm er and the general public. In the last analysis, county and community committeemen are in constant con tact with the farmers right out where the farming is done, and they, more than anyone else, can bring together the information necessary to build a good farm program and then explain the program and help the farmers use it to the best interests of both farmers and consumers.” Now is the time to treat those peach trees for borers. Sufficient ethylene dichloride emulsion should be available for this season. Treat between October 1-15. When apply ing, wet the trunk for about 6 inches above the ground. Mound the dirt up immediately after treating. Fol low dosage directions on container. Use paradichlorobenzene if unable to get ethylene dichloride emulsion. A report from the USDA states there is enough cotton on hand of one inch and less lengths staple to supply the needs of the country for five more years. The supply of cot ton grading more than one inch is short and the premium paid for cot ton of this type is from $3 to $15 per bale. Growers who have cotton of the longer staple, such as Coker 100 and 200. are advised to have this cotton ginned and classified. Seed from this type of cotton should be saved and properly cared for until next planting season. There will be a heavy demand for this type of seed and we can expect high prices for planting seed. The Washington County Farm Ma chinery Rationing Committee meets every Friday night at 8 o’clock at the Agriculture Building if there are ap plications to be reviewed. This is a temporary committee appointed to review cases and issue purchase cer tificates until November 1, at which time a permanent arrangement will be made. Regulations permit only machinery that is to be used during the current season to be applied for between now and November 1st. Ma chinery to be used for next year's crop cannot be applied for until after November 1, 1942. The machinery for handling soy beans for oil has not been completed, but we are informed that crushers or oil mills will handle the entire crop of beans going into oil. Prices will be $1.50 to $1.60 per bushel, de pending upon grade and oil content. Receiving stations will be set up in at least two points of the county. Plymouth and Creswell. Complete details will be issued as soon as all arrangements have been made. We have been given definite information to the effect that no speculative mar ket should be anticipated, and the speculative idea should not influence farmers in the method of handling ttxeir beans. At a peanut pickers’ meeting at the Agriculture Building Monday, Octo ber 12, about 45 picker operators were present. It w'as the unanimous opinion of this group that the price Value of Boy Scout Training Is Proved "To the average young scout the training he is receiving as a member of his troop is all fun, but as he grows into full citizenship he realizes that while he piayeci, he also learned. Scouting is a game to the scout, bur to his leaders it is something else. It is a character molding and citizen ship training program so designed as to be fun to the boy.” So said T. W. Earle of the Boy Scout steering com mittee in the eastern North Caro lina campaign. He continued: “What are scouts doing on the war front and home front? Prom the records being received, they are do ing plenty on both fronts. Here are a few facts as compiled of recent date. Although only one boy in five has been a scout in the nation, 75 per cent of all army and naval offi cers graduated from West Point and Annapolis are Boy Scouts. Eighty per cent of all medals for heroism awarded in this present war have gone to former Boy Scouts. Seventy five per cent of the Flying Tigers were Boy Scouts! Former Boy Scouts are making history on the battle fronts. Men like Colin P Kelly Edward O'Hare. Joseph. Locha'rdx. Dean Wood. Boyd Wagner and many others who are receiving awards for outstanding jobs in the defense of their nation. At home the younger brothers are also making history. A recent check-up reveals that 1.800 Bov Scouts in East Carolina Council are serving in Civilian Defense. Some of the jobs they are performing are as messengers, stretcher bearers, fire watchers, plane spotters, assistant air raid wardens. Scouts have been officially designated as dispatch bearers for the government and since last January have delivered over 40. 000 pieces of literature in eastern Carolina. of picking should be about 30 cents per bag, as compared to the average of 25 cents last season. However, conditions in a community will de termine what price should be charged Some pickers can, with large fields and good peanuts, afford to pick for less than those with small fields and inferior peanuts. $31 In War Bonds AND STAMPS TO BE GIVEN AWAY BY MERCHANTS OF PLYMOUTH -EVERY WEEK!
