Duplin Roads Are Good Washboards 0 ' ' During the week the' writer has had to trave over several of the dirt ' roads , of t Duplin County. These roads have the twashboard" effect on the car as it moves over the surface and makes riding ra- thor uncomfortable. Several wash outs at bridges have been neglect" ed since the rains and a stick is found stuck in the washout warn ing the traveler that he must pot cross that .side of the birdge. ' If these roads could be dragged and a few necessary1 repairs be 'made at these bridges, 1 much could be added to the Comfort and-safety of travel. . H The writer has had occasion to travel one certain road in the County, for the past six years at regular Intervals and finds that, a hole in tba road that was there six years ago is, still there today. There is some comfort in know ing that the hole will be in the same place and the driver will know when to slow down and pre pare for the Jolt.' ii o ' The Death Of Mrs. C. D.Cottle Mrs. C. X).

It is con a contract. In each instance a gro- j templated that the first payment wer must live on and farm only wm be made about Dec. 15, 1935; designated Spot Markets are be low 12 cents per pound on the date of sale, but in no case shall the payment per pound exceed 2 cents. In case the cotton is not sold by July 31, 1936, but is on that date under the 10 cents loan, a similar Adjustment Payment will be made in the amount per pound by which the official average base price on the 10 designated spot markets are below 12 cents per pound on July 31, 1936, less loan carrying charges, but in no case shall the payments per pound exceed 2 cents. Cotton Producers should insist upon receiving from buyers the premiums due them on cotton which is above the average in gra de and staple length, as .they will lose if they sell premium cotton for the price paid for 7-8 inch cot ton in tne belief the price Adjust ment Payment will compensate them for their better grade and staple length. To facilitate payment it is pro posed that the price adjustment payment be made in not more the land on which the Special Base Contract is secured.

Special efforts are being made by the "Resettlement Administration to aid low-Income farmers in Nor th Carolina, according to announc ement from Homer H. B. Mask, of Raleigh, Regional Director of Ru ral Resettlemen for the states of Kentucky, North Carolina, Ten nessee, Virginia and West Vir ginia. "There are more than 50,000 farm families in North Carolina that have a gross income of less than $400 a year," Mr. Mask said. "This small sum includes the value of what is used at home for food and feed, as well as what is sold for cash. With such limited in comes, It is difficult for these farm families to buy the food items that are necessary for a healthy diet, and virtually impossible for them to acquire land of their own. ' ''In extending aid to these peo ple," Mask continued, "it will be the policy of the Resettlement Ad ministration to seek permanent re habilitation . of the borrowers by establishing them on farms which together with other available em ployment, will yield" income enough to make them self-sustaining, give them an acceptable , standard of living, and permit amortization of weir loans." j, s ,rtl -f Those eligible for loans, lh addl t'oa to thoso -recently registered as borrowers from State Rural Re habilitation Corporations, include: farm owners, farm tenants, farm laborers, share croppers, or per sons who were recently in any of the foregoing classes, and other persons with farming experience who are or were recently on reliel rolls. The eligible list also includes those who are in default in pay ments to a Federal Land Bank and are in danger of foreclosure and eviction, and those who are in de fault of the Farm Credit Admin istration or its agencies, or have been denied credit by it. The list is still further broadened to in clude those found by the Reset tlement Administration to be sim ilarly in need of aid, and authority is given to regional directors ot Rural Resettlement to accept oth er persons consistent with the pur poses that 'guide Resettlement work. "These accepted must have ini tiative and resourcefulness, some managerial capacity, and ability to profit front instruction and gui dance," Mr. Mask said, . The loans will bear 5 percent in terest and be payable in two to 6 years, depending upon tbs charac ter of the goods and earning 'Ca pacity of the borrower. Purposes for which loans may be made1 in (Contlnned on back page) 1 o ' , Reports that scrap tobacco has -bee nsold this season by noma , , contracting growers indicate that these growers do not fully under stand the provisions of the fine-, a. , cured contract, said J. B. Hutson, chief of Tobacco Division, '. in a letter issued October 1st. Contract ing growers who sell scrap or any , otbar to bacco this season for leas ' ' than 5 cents per pound probably will lose money by making the .... . sale. The reasons for this are as v follows: (1) The contract provides that all tobacco, including scrap, -produced on and sold from the , ' farm oi a contracting grower must be entered on allotment ' . cards and covered by tax-payment warrants obtained trom agents in tobacco warehouses, j (2) If a grower sells tobacco in f excess of 85 percent of hlu base production, it will bsrr necessary for him to obtain more than 5 cents per pound ..K in order to offset the reduc tion in the adjustment pay ment. ' . (3) The sale of tobacco without having it covered by tax - ": : . payment warrants makes the grower liable for the return of all payments under his con tract and the value of the tax payment warrants issued to him. (4) A contracting grower with unused allotment may be able to sell this allotment to ano ther contracting grower hav ing excess production through the County Agent's office at 4 cents per pound. Before selling the unused allot ment, the grower must sell all of the tobacco produced under his contract including low grade or scrap tobacco, retain a sufficient portion of the allotment to sell all of such tobacco, or render the un sold tobacco unmerchantable. All scrap tobacco which is not sold mi'.st be rendered unmerchantable before complaince with the provi sions of the contract can be cer tified. This tobacco may be len- dered unmerchantable by spread ing it on the land and uiscing It in or by mixing a sufficient quan tity of lime with the tobacco. Scrap tobacco which growers cannot afford to sell may be used profitably for fertilizer on land which is not suited for tobacco. The use of this tobacco on land to be planted to tobacco might re sult in the spread of plant disea ses which would cause serious los ses in succeeding crops, nor should scrap tobacco be used on or around seed beds. Excellent results may be expected from use of low-grade to bacco for fertilizing truck crops. Such tobacco may also be used as an insecticide for spraying poultry houses and similar uses, by boiling it and spraying with the extract. In order that growers may not unknowingly violate their contract your cooperation is requested in getting the facts in this letter to other contracting growers. If a person offers to buy scrap tobacco from you, his name and the license number on his truck should be ob tained and turned over to the County Agent. o Cotton Certificates Undelivered i There are in the Agent's offico in Kenansville a great many Bank head Cotton Tax-Exemption Cer tificates that have not been deliv ered, the owners of these certifi cates have been notified to receipt for them and have lailed to do so. These certificates can not be held more than a reasonable len gth of time, and if not called for by the owners, must be returned to Washington to be reissued. There are also in the Agent's office in Kenansville around 400 cotton and tobacco land rental checks that are undelivered. These checks must be delivered or return ed to Washington, and farmers who have been notified and have not called for theirs are urged to do so Immediately. Uniyersalist Church Notice Sunday , : morning : at Outlaw's Bridge the pastor and delegate.) will make a report of the recent convention at Kinston. Sunday evening at 7:30 the pas-. tor will preach.
