Ilwf ! ANY DAY ; The Bu«y World AsSoenby The Poorest Paid Editor In the United States. Getting Used To It • „ • - % The State magazine at Raleigh says that the' preliminary storm in con nection-with the enforcement of the tales tax in North Carolina has ap parently subsided. Things are mov ing along smoothly and quietly and complaints have been reduced from , ; leud and frequent yells to , subdued and infrequent murmurs. ; This statement seems to be quite s.'; correct, and . is due to several causes. /, One is the matter of a counter irri . i tant. Most of us have to have some thing to agonize over and we follow ■one agony until another comes along. The sales tax held favor till other and Wewer conditions and ideas arose and this goes far to make the tax a thing . Of accustomed routine. When people get used to routine they are satisfied i^loss, indeed, there is a real hard ship involved!. , No Great Hardship . 1 ; Now it is perfectly apparent that there is no great hardship in paying * few pennies to the support of the ■ Ifovernment though at the beginning everybody—following a very unwhol some agitation before the legislature —Visioned a horrendous thing when the tax went into affect. We could hope for and pray for a rise of fifty per cent in the price of everything but' to contemplate paying a three cents rise for the needs , of the people in their organized capacity, ^as made to appear a terrible thing. The people are finding that as a matter of fact there is no great hardship and this has gone far to stop complaint. * * * Says We Are Ashamed ' Mr. Goerch’s article goes on to say that people are beginning to be just a little ashamed of themselves in con nection with the expenditure of a few pennies a day. It has been called to their attention that these pennies are being used to maintain North Caro lina’s credit, to prevent defaulting, to educate the children, and to lessen the burden on property. Also to make the fellow who has never paid any taxes to come across with his little share. Mr. Goerch also says that the mer chants who at first did all the howling have found that it was not so popular because the natural reaction of the customer was: "What the hell are you howling aboutr-rve got to pay the tax.” Hostility in Cuba ' In Cuba the agitators. seem to be determined to arouse all possible hos* *tiUfcyv to the United -Stated?2 Arte* Tlutidreda', of^ years ;qf unsuccessful struggle against" the oppression of Spain, Cuba was glad to have the United States come in and set her free. Not only did we run the Span iards out, but we established a clean . and healthful Cuba, wiped out disease, .and did everything to start Cuba off on a successful national mission. We did something else, quite contrary to the practice of the world at that time. We refused to take Cuba over and vol untarily bound ourselves to forever maintain her independence and to re frain from encroaching upon it our selves. And now, when they are un able to maintain a government of their own, we are dirty Yankees and shylocks who must be hated and revil ed. The Cuban crowd doesn’t seem to have sense enough to know that with out the United States Cuban would be nothing but prey as she had always ’been.. v-:-n . Too Much Snap Judgment .. . We are prone to take too much snap judgments. The public will make up its mind too quickly on inadequate information. Scary newspaper head* lines are responsible for more snap judgments than anything else. . Take, as an example, the criticism of Gov. Ehringhous for changing the management of the Caswell Training School, the State's institution for the feeble minded at Kinston. Politics, ev erybody said, and before any of the facts in the case came out the papers and the public were- assuming that the charge was made merely for the sake of turning somebody out and putting some one in. And a further, and equally hurtful assumption in such matters, is always made. .That is that the old management or the old officers were highly efficient and that the new ones would not be. > ,r Now it comes out that the State < Board of Welfare has been for several months finding objections to the old mariagement and has made reports Specifically pointing out where it was mrelect. And the new superintendent, Dr. Register, could not possibly have been put in for political reasons, for he is not a politician, but a long engaged in publie health work in the ' fjtate. A Difficult Job v ' ■>' . The Caswell institution is a difficult Job at best. From the nature of the patients, their great number, and the Jack of abundant funds, the place has always had difficulties. Dr. Hardy, the founder, was turned out as superin tendent. Dr. McNairy, than whom the State never had * more devoted or unselfish servant, was turned out, and now the management which succeeded kith is turned out. Most of the difficul ty arises from the nature of the work the institution must do and the in ability to spend enough money to do Itwell. Meanwhile, governors come ■t Along and try to make improvements by changing management. This, we are satisfied, have all along been, and ...are their motives. And, whttajye are unable tot do anything moreT than that, we shall continue to have ' changes. t The sugar in sweet corn will turn to starch much less rapidly if the ‘ corn is kept in a cool place while it is Stored before cookin'. ,6>In the Arctic regions conversation -iMW been carried on over water b; persons separated by a distance .•,69® feet. 3 VOLUME 60. NO. 35. CARTHAGE, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1933. 12.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE BENEFITS OF PLAN RELATED HERE BY CHAS. A. SHEFFIELD Secretary Wallace Has Given Assurance That Signers Win Get Aid PRODUCTION MUST BE CUT A whirlwind campaign is un der way in an effort to secure a 100 per cent sign-up of Moore county growers to the agree ment to make an acreage reduc tion, not to exceed 30 per cent, for the 1934-35 crops in return for government benefits that will give them a “parity” aver age of 15 to 17 cents for this year’s tobacco crop. The drive is under the direction of E. H. Garrison, the county agent. He is being assisted by the following committee: Jackson Springs — Dan Patterson and Chas. Dilling; Roseland —Dwight Troutman and W. A. Ros ey; Vass—W. B. Graham and T. Frank Cameron; Eureka—T. L. Blue and W. W. Dairymple; Carthage—L. L. Marion and George D. Carter; and Cameron—J. M. Guthrie and L. B. MeKeithen. The, plan of the government for raising the price of tobacco was ex plained here Monday by Chas. Shef field, an official of the state extension department, who is a native of Moore county, before an audience of around 500 growers who packed the court house. Plan Summarized Briefly, the plan,-as summarized by Mr. Sheffield, is: . The; government will estab taking the averages obtained for tobacco in the period between Aug. 1, 1919, and July 39, 1929. This average will figure about 15 3-lOths per pound, but in view of the increase in the prices of other commodities, the "parity” price may be increased to 17 cents .» or more. A signer of the acreage reduc tion agreement will market his tobacco as customary. He will be required to preserve his ware house receipts, and if the average for his entire crop falls below the “parity” price, he will be reim bursed by the government for the difference. Details of the acreage reduction plan will be worked out later and Mr. Sheffield was frank to state that there were some phases of the agree ment that he could not explain. “However,” he asserted,'"the Secre tary of Agriculture has given his per sonal assurance that the signer of the acreage agreement will receive bene fits that will be denied the non-sign I To Impose Processing Tax [ If it is necessary to pay benefits to jthe growers, Mr. Sheffield stated that a processing tax of around four cents will be imposed on the manufactured tobacco to Secure the required funds. I The belief in some circles is strong that the tobacco companies, faced with an acreage reduction for 1934-35, will voluntarily pay the “parity” price. Regardless of the cash benefits the growers may obtain, said Mr. Shef field, an acreage reduction is neces sary if tobacco prices are ever in creased. There has been a constant increase in production since 1930 in the face of lowered consumption and including this year's crop, estimated at 520,000,000 pounds, there is more than a billion pounds of tobacco stocks on hand, Mr. Sheffield pointed out, which is sufficient to last the trade two years if not another pound is produced in that period. “But I think the future is bright for you growers of flue-cured tobaco,” asserted Mr. Sheffield, “if you control production. Nowhere else can flue cured tobacco be produced, that will compete with yours, and with women turning daily to cigarettes, into which the bulkof your crop goes, there is going to be a gradual increase in con sumption.” i The export situation, which has more bearing on the price of the flue cured tobacco than the domestic con sumption, was described by Mr. Shef field as. being very discouraging. Ex ports have dropped from 430,000,000 to 231,000,000 pounds since 1930. World business recovery, he added, should bring about a marked increase in exports In the future. But, he re iterated, there can be no hope for the grower until the immense carry over is reduced. The meeting was pronounced to be the most widely attended of its kind ever held in Moore county. Those in the audience had grim, determined faces, and scores signed the acreage reduction agreement right on the 3POt, v ...

Quarters SOME' HOPE YET FOR PAGE Banking facilities will be available for Carthage by the opening of the tobacco market on Tuesday, Sept. 19. The Bank of Pinehurst has leased the quarters now occupied by the Page Trust Company and will operate a depository here. It is to take pos session by the 15th of this month. The Page Trust Company, which has agreed through S. J. Hinsdale, the liquidating agent, to lease its fixtures to the Bank of Pinehurst, will main tain desk space in the same quarters. However, F. W. VonCannon, presi dent of the Bank of Pinehurst, has emphasized to local business men that the depository will be in the nature of an experiment. His lease of the building is for three months. Fur ther operation of the depository de pends upon the degree of patronage accorded the institution by the local people. The Bank of Pinehurst, which is the county depository, is in a very liquid condition. Stockholders, before the bank was permitted to open after the. holiday, were required to pay in additional capital and surplus, and its cash position is good. It is not known who will be in charge of the depos itory. , ■■J-'"" ' ' ■ ' V - .. .. inehurst •ofbanking facilities here has tended to retard business recovery, and now with a depository and the furniture factory and knitting mill running, to gether with the prospect of better to-' bacco prices, there is an increased confidence in the future of the com munity. PAGE TRUST COMPANY MAY ENTER SECURITY NATIONAL While the announcement that the Bank of Pinehurst would open a de pository here has served to relieve the tension over the local banking situation, it is learned that there is still a strong probability of the Page Trust Company, closed since the banking holiday, becoming a part of the Security National Bank, formed around the units of the closed North Carolina' Bank & Trust Company. All preventing the merger is the approv al of the Comptroller of the Curren cy, which is expected momentarily, and the surmounting of some legal difficulties, it is stated. If the merger is effected, Moore county will likely get a unit of the Security National Bank, with Car thage being the preferred point, The Moore County News has been inform ed. If the Bank of Pinehurtt finds the operation of its depository here profitable, however, and this commu nity is assured of permanent banking facilities, it is supposed that Aber deen would be the preferred point for this Sandhill section. The original plan to merge the Page Trust Company and the North Carolina Bank and Trust Company into the Security National was halted when Judge A. M. Stack, of Monroe, issued an order restraining the for mer organization from entering the new get-up until the directors were given thirty days in which to file pro tests. If Page finally enters the original set-up, the number of new branches will be limited by the increase in cap ital of the Security National. It is not thought that there would possi bly be more than two or three new branches, one of which, according to tentative plans, would be located in Moore county. The Reconstruction Finance Cor poration has already agreed to the new set-up, according to a statement of Commissioner Gurney Hood. All lacking, as stated, is the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency and the surmounting of the legal difficul ties.

GROWERS PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR BAD PEACH YEAR Poor Condition of Fruit and Carelsss Marketing Held as Main Factors FEW GROWERS LOST MONEY By . FRED P. ABBOTT .<WU*h was attended with' remits that-ww' more or less disappointing to many growers. It is probably safe to say that no grower realized any unusually large profit this year, whereas most growers either made expenses or lost a little money. Fortunately, the grow ers have effected the utmost econo mies in the production of their'crop, and it is probably safe to say that, for the grower who had a normal crop this was the cheapest crop thus for produced, and by virtue of this fact, even on the low markets experienced, the losses, if any, were small. While the grower has suffered re verses in the last three years of peach production on account of seasonal and market conditions, he is suffering still further disasters in the reduction of his peach trees due principally to death caused by disease. Many grow ers in the Carolinas and Georgia have lost numerous trees, the death of which was generally attributed to winter injurl, whereas in the majority of these cases, the real fundamental cause of death was root-rot, botani cftlly known as armillaria mellea, which is caused by a fungus that at tacks and destroys the cambium lay er, and when developed sufficiently completely, destroys many of the feed ing roots, setting up a toxic condition and impeding the tree’s supply of food. This condition makes the trees much more susceptible to crowngall, which is a bacterial disease, that pro duces enlargements on the roots and trunk, and eventually shuts off the food supply and also sets up a very toxic condition. In many cases, both of these diseases seem to be present, and because of the tree’s weakened condition and the natural instinct to reproduce themselves when threaten ed with death, the sap rises earlier than in normal conditions, and they cannot resist the adversities present ed by belated cold weather. Control of Root Rot So far, there has been very little experimental work performed looking! toward the control of root-rot, but from the data which is available at this time, it appears that one can nev er safely replant an orchard on land which was previously planted to peach trees that went out with this disease. Many of the new peach plant ings in Georgia—principally in South Georgia—were made on this type of land and the results, no doubt, will be very disappointing to the owners as, by the time the peach trees should be. about in their peak of production, there will probably be very few of the original plantings left. In recent years, a disease known as “bacterios I is” has caused the growers no small concern, and resulted in greatly re ducing the marketable crop. In years when the infestation is heavy, due to favorable weather experienced in the early spring, it causes premature de foliation which, of course, affects the set of fruits bulbs for the following year. Considerable experimental work ’ has been done in an effort to control this disease but thus far the results V are not very satisfactory. Everyone realizes the purchasing power is at present at a very low ebb, but at the same time, the peach grow er has done much himself to bring about this extremely low price. Many growers believe that when a peach is produced, it should find its way to the market some way, despite the fact that it may be wormy, small, or spot tod with baeteriosis; and this single m urn sm— RECORD BREAKING SEASON PREDICTED BY GEORGE CARTER Charlie C.

E. H. Morton, who buys for. the Export, and Cheslie Meredith, who buys for Liggett-Myers, both fixtures on the local market, will be here again this season. G. G.

It is a fact that the sun will nev er set at one time on all the com panies, domestic and foreign, that will receive tobacco purchased on this market.
