Mr. Quinn, al though very busy, has kindly con sented to do so. In his column he will deal especially with every bill that affects Duplin County. Below is the third of the series. This is the iourth week of the 1945 Session of the Legislature, and while the total number of bills introduced in both House and Senate are not equal to that of last session in the same period, it does not necessarily indicate that the session is not as far advanced as the 1943 Session in the same period. The concensus of opinion is that the session is even nearer the end than at the same period lastl session. ; At any rate, everyone ., seems to believe that , we are go ing to have a reasonably short session, perhaps ending within the sixty day period. During the past week the busi ness of the Legislature has been moving along at a fast rate and several committees are now act ' ively at work considering the bills as they are introduced and sent to their appropriate committees. The primary needs of the state at large and the interest of the peo ple back home are the first and ioremost thines in the minds of all serious minded legislators; and for that matter the major part of ura are in mat class. A number of bills have been re- . ceived regulating the conduct of the State's citizens and anions these one of the most important is the one to create a Commission whose duty it will be to study the : "General Statute'' which is a re pository of general regulations. A bill-which contains 47 sections would seek to correct errors, in- , consistencies and discrepancies in the coae which was adopted dur jk4g the 194a Session. - tin 12 and OH 68.

Unless something is done to help them, . great number of them will leave the profession, thereby causing a great' handicap to the school pro gram throughout the State. The Appropriations Comittee began its work on the budget for ' the , State's Educational program for the next Belnnium as it re- sumed its hearings Tuesday, when it heard representatives of the several departments of the Public School system. The general budget annronriation for : education ah recommended by ! the Advisory Riirteret--Cnmmision amounts to cot KMfi 280- The amount sought ln HB 72 and SB 58 would enlarge . the aDDronriation by a consider- ku krmr amount. The following bills have ben In troduced by Duplin's Representa tw HR 51. a bill to be Entitled An Act to Require Cotton Brokers and other persons buying cotton to keep records of their purchases from producers. Th bill received a favorable report from the House Committee on Agriculture and now remains on the House Calen dar. - ' ' " - HB 56, To authorize the Govern ing Bodies of the Towns of Wal- i.e and Faison. in Dunlin County to refuse to issue licenses ior m sale of wine andor beer In their discretion. This measure was re quested by these two towns.. HB 57.

This Legislature will SDend more money than ever was spent in North Carolina for governmental service to the people. The total budget estimate for the next bien nlum in round numbers will ap proximate 220 millions of dollars, ami this ntmlnst about 163 million for the last biennlum. Most of the, increase is reccommended fori highway and public works, but, there is an increase of more than eight millions a year ln the gen eral fund account. Whereas, the State will spend about 57 millions or more this fiscal year, the bud get estimate for the next fiscal year is 64 millions or more and about the same for the year 1946 47.

There is a firm demand for good grade potatoes. North Carolina is one of the leading sweet potatoe producing states, standing third in produc tion last year with 13,907 cars. Only 1160 of these were shipped. This means a lot of potatoes were lost in storage due to disease and pQor storage and handling. An effort is being made thru- out the state to improve the quality of potatoes. Six cars of disease free, certified seed pota toes were imported from Louisi ana last year. From this seed stock approximately 30,000 bush pis of certified seed are available to North Carolina farmers this'" year. Any farmer interested ln getting some of these high quali ty seed sweet potatoes may place their order by February 10th with the County Agent, who will have" a cooperative shipped into Duplin County. FERTILIZER Ample fertilizer materials will be available for 1945. There is a shortage of labor and transporta tion, therefore, farmers should de termine their fertilizer needs and place their orders early. Those who wait until the last minute will likely have trouble getting their fertilizers. COTTON There is a large supply of low grade short staple cotton in stor nce.
