Sudden Sale Of Produce

ket and Tends Force Prices
Down.
Farmers are requested by Agri
culture Commissioner W. Kerr
Scott to refrain from the indis
criminate sale of agricultural com
modities because of the end of the
war.
1 The sudden unloading of var
ious farm products on an unset
tled market can only result in
glutted markets and low prices,
said. Scott, adding that there was
no cause for anxiety for the im
mediate future of agriculture.
; Charging that attempts are al
ready being made to out prices on
farm produced items on the claim
that surpluses exist, he expressed
the opinion that many of these so
called surpluses exist only in the
minds of "middle-men" who want
to take advantage of a tempor
ally unstable economy to reap
bigger profits at the expense of
the farmer and housewife. 1
Scott said he had been advised
that the consensus among Govern
ment officials and economists is
that complete reconversion to a
stable peacetime economy will be
effected by next June 1.
He stated that from now until,
'that time the farmer and the la-,
borer should hold to all that is;
rightfully due them in prices and
wages.
Scott also remarked that evry
city man should know that some
where there are three and one
half acres of land taking care of
him. TheXuture of that, piece of
land, tww.lt is operated, cost of

Chats Of
The "Newcomer" had the veryl
fine opportunity of attending the
dinner given last week by the
Woman's. Club. At that time, The
Newcomer made a proposal to the
club that they sponsor the estab
lishing of the Youth Canteen of
which I wrote last week.
The club adopted my proposal
and have elected three members
of the club to serve as a commit
tee to work with two men of the
town, so that this project will be
vell coordinated. The members of
he committee from the Woman's
lub are Mrs. Lawrence Souther
' land, Mrs. Alton Newton, and Mrs.
N. B. Boney. The men are Mr. J.
E. Jerritt and Mr. Faison McGow
en. The first task of this commitee
.will be to secure a .building to
serve as the Canteen. If some civ
lc minded person here in Kenans
ville were to offer a vacant store
or the like, it would facilitate mat
ters a great deal. If It proves nec
essary to erect a building, It will
take a considerable amount of
time and money. Now is the time
that young people need such a re
creation al center, pot some time

Girl Scouts Hold
Sixth Anniversary
The Girl Scout Organization of
Kenansville is six years old, and
since their organization six years
ago they have never disbanded
once. They held their anniversary
party in the home of Hilda Gray
Brinson and it was really a party.
Hilda Gray served home-made
ice cream, and chocolate cup cakes
and later on invited her guests to
the grape vine. There were twenty
five scouts present, which was 100
percent attendance.
Mary Beth Southerland, Mary
Sue Burch and Frances Jean Pat
terson passed off the Interior De
corating Badge, and Betty Whit
field passed off the World Gifts
Badge before the Board of Re
views which was composed of Mrs.
A. T. Outlaw, Chairman, Mrs. I. C.
Burch, Mrs. Parker Quinn, Mrs.

FARM CONSERVATION
GEORGE PENNEY
Soil Conservation Service
I have been asked just what Ser-1
vices are
available to farmers
through the local Soil Conserva
tion District and I will try to ex
plain this briefly by citing an ex
ample: Mr. Lewis W. Outlaw wanted
a cortservation plan on one of his
fiarms so he filled out the applica
tion forms.
Our first step in making this
farm plan was to get our Soil Sci
entist to make a detailed Soils
Map of Mr. Outlaw's farm, so we
would know what each field would
produce.
After obtaining this information,
Mr. Outlaw and myself walked ov
er his farm and tried to determine
the best land to use for each field
to insure maximum production ov
er a long-time period, keeping in
mind, the economic factors, Sou
,i th individual
improvement,
farm needs.
We Dlanned a rotation on all
ior ho n.d fnr tobacco and
another rotation for his corn land,
There was a small area adjoin
ing his pasture that was eroded to
such an extent that cultivation
was unprofitable so Mr. Outlaw
planned to plant that area to Kud
zu for supplemental grazing.
We tried to balance his feed and
pasture production with his live
stock needs and made recommen
dations for seeding, fertilizing and(
liming his old and new pastures
These plans were written up in
, detail and Mr. Outlaw will get his
copy along with his soli maps as!
soon as they are typed.
DISAPPOING

by the Emperor 'of the uncondi

Winfrey reported that persons
can secure fast, accurate, and im

War Price and Rationing Boards
at Southport and Kenansville when
they desire rations. This, Winfrey
said, will save travel and much
time.

idone, and are doing, is a direct
contribution to the welfare of our
state and nation. With the end of
the fighting in the Pacific and the
coming of peace all of the condi
tions that make price, rent con
troL and rationing necessary will
not be immediately done away
with.
"Many persons through thought
lessness will want to see the con
trols thrown wide open and the
pressures for inflation that
have been built up in other
parts of 'the world hit our
state. This means that the job the
volunteer workers, and others in
OPA, have to do is not yet finish
ed. The end of the war means that
the job has been finished on fore
ign soil, but there remains work
to be done here unless all the good
that has been accomplished thus
far Is tost. The way In which the
job Is completed will determine
the direct results.
