N, .-. ,y 1 Cotton has also been damaged by Hurricanes which have passed . through. However, agriculture Officials advise that it will probably be .profitable to have cotton graded and classed in order to get that additional money per pound of cotton, where possible. The steps to follow are to ask your ginner to sample each bale . when ginned and send the samples to the Government Classing Office, Balelgh, N. C. for the Smith - Doxey grade And staple report. Farmers are advised to wait for the Smith Doxey class card, show, ing grade and staple, before selling. This takes from three to four . days from the time the sample is mailed. ;' After receiving the report, farmers are in a better position to receive the top. ..dollar because they know what a specific grade and class is bringing. They also know what the Lean Rate is and what their .cotton will bring them immediately if it la placed in storage. ' This is how the farmer goes about getting a government loan. 1 The cotton must first be put into an approved storage house. There are several in Eastern North Carolina. A clerk in the warehouse or County ASC office will help with the filling out of loan papers. Then, take the loan papers and warehouse receipt to local lending agencies and exact support price. Getting every possible dollar out of every bale of cotton is of utmost Importance for the farmer this year. It could well mean the difference between a year in which a little profit is made or a year in which ' a loss is shown. It is a known fact that cotton quality and grade is down in Eastern North Carolina because of water damage. Too, some of the lint which is going onto the market was picked up off the ground and ginned, which also brings down the passible price. But again it brings back the old saying of get the most out of eyeqr ounce of cotton. It will de finitely pay to look into having cotton graded before marketing it . his year. A farmer would not try to plow a row blindfolded. But, when a farmer sella his or her cotton without having' it graded, they are dealing with the finished product with a blindfold over the eyes.

Farm Bureau President Leroy Simmons said today that a one week "big push" for membership will be conducted this year. A quota of 1,400 has been set for Duplin by the State Farm Bureau ,but a, goal of 2,000 members for 1956 has been set by the local Farm Bureau. "We feel that, every farmer and business man in the County should make an all-out effort to see that the membership drive is a big suc cess," Simmons said. Some of the reasons given for this believe the work which Farm Bu reau does with Stabilization, To bacco Associates, keeping the tax off of seeds, feeds, and fertilizers, taking tax off oil used in tobacco curing,) having removed the sales tax from farm machinery and keep ing the State from increasing the tax on cigarettes. "These are just a few of the things Farm Bureau has done on the State level," Simmons said. "Nationally, we have' done many, many things for the betterment of farm Inter est, upon which we are dependent, but hey are too numerous to men tion." ; ; .v.--' The value of Tobacco Stabiliza tion Program ha been invaluable to the farmers of Duplin County, and the United States, this year. "We wonder what would have happened to tobacco prices, had, there not been : any stabilization program," Simmons added. ' Tobacco Associates Is the organi zation .that has added $790 to each tobacco grower's Income' in the to bacco belt in North Carolina, by finding v and - 'exporting tobacco which normally "would not have been exported, but would have re mained In storage as surplus. - In regards to the Farm Bureau'l work with the 1955, Legislature in keeping taxes off -various farm items, Simmons .adds .' that many hours of hard labor and planning were put into the. fight to help' the farmers keep these taxes -off nec essary- products paused in the pro duction of crops , in - Duplin - and North Carolina.

McGowen Over 1,000 At Hawes BY PAUL BARWICK In three years, over 1,000 babies have been born at the Hawes Cli nic in Rose Hill. The 1,000 mark was passed last Saturday night and at least two others have been born since then. In commenting on the work at the Clinic, Dr. C. F. Hawes, said he is well pleased with the progress which has been made during the short period. "It's a great deal of difference now from what it used to be when I was delivering babies in homes," Dr. Hawes said. "While I was deliv ering babies in homes I got more sleep in the back of my car than I did at home in bed." He points out that with mothers coming to the Clinic for delivery it makes it much easier for both the doctor and mother. In the area, the idea of a Baby Clinic was a new idea when Dr. Hawes started it three years ago. The fact that it has met with the approval of the mothers whom Dr. Hawes " served, is marked by the large number of births which have been recorded at the Clinic during the three-year period. Dr. Hawes is a native of Rose Hill, being born May 5, 1907 to the late Charlie and Mary Emma Dixon Hawes. He received his graded school ed ucation at Rose. Hill and graduated there in 1925. He then enrolled at Wake Forest College and remained there until 1930. His B.S. Degree in Fra med had been awarded two years previously but he remained to re ceive two years of his "medical" school training. Northwestern Universitv was his next stop. He complete his medi cal school studies in 1932 and in terned in Wisconsin. In August, 1933. Dr. Hawps re turned to Bose Hill where he set tm practice and has been there ever since. Until his clinic was constructed and opened in Sentember. 1W2. most of his work w "in the homes." Now, most of his practi cing is in his clinic where his of fice usually stays filled with ex pectant mothers and those who are needing medical care. His records Show that he has de livered approximately 5,650 babies since 1933. He is proud of the fact that he has never lost a mother in child birth. There have been few babies who have lost their lives In birth and all ot those lost were , abnormal cases. I i The bulk of his deliveries have been in homes. He recalls very well how he used to travel throughout f.?V &. I it, f ft f '- , i REV. STEPHEN SMITH The Rev. Stephen Smith began his pastorate of LaGrange Free Will Baptist Church Sunday. He re places Michael Pelt, who resigned to become pastor of the Hull Road Free Will Baptist Church, near Arba. Smith is a native of the Indian Springs section of Wayne County. He is now living in Beulaville and plans to continue to reside there while pastoring the LaGrange church. For 20 years he has been minister, ing in the Free Will Baptist Church end has . been very active in his work with the church. He was sup erintendent of the Middlesex Free Will Baptist Orphanage for four years, resigning last year to begin pastoring churches again. He is married and has no children.

"We had one paved road in this section. That was from Tin City to Kenansville," he said. "We will have a lot of queer ex periences in child birth. Although some folks won't ad mit it, they still put axes, knives, scissors and other cutting tools un der the bed to cut and ease the pain." he added. - : - It seems that dirt-dobber . nest tea is still used. ."You take six nests,, .crumble them up, blow the wings and insects off the crumbled nests,: pour hot water over them, strain off the liquid and give to the patient It's supposed to be good for you when you're sick," Dr. PRICE TEN CENTS Re-Instated Inspector . IT---.--. ' 'i1J" X. "'- Harvey Arnold has been re-in stated as Duplin County Electrical Inspector. The action came Monday at the Monthly meeting of the County Board of Commissioners. At the previous Commissioners' meeting, held the first Wednesday in September, Arnold was fired as County Electrical Inspector. Ben C. Bowden, of Warsaw, was employ ed to fill the position. However, Bowden would not ac cept the appointment. At Monday's meeting, some 20 electricians from Duplin County appeared before the Commissioners asking that Arnold be re-instated as Duplin Electrical Inspector. One electrician from Mount Olive in Wayne County also asked that Ar nold be retained. The vote to re-instate him was unanimous. However, Arnold was advised by the Board of Commis sioners that his position could be "terminated at any time the Com missioners deemed necessary." Arnold received high praise for his work in Duplin from the State Electrical Department in the Util ities Commission. He has been electrical inspector since March, 1948 in Duplin Coun ty. At present, Arnold, as chairman of the Duplin County ASC commit tee, is out of office while the of fice functions in the past are un der Federal investigation. The ASC committee was sus pended indefinitely by the State Committee while the investigation is being conducted. Purchase Of Bonds High, Says Banker Purchase of U. S.
