Also it was stated that it is pro bable that at this meeting will be dis cussed the plan for contact between the Federal Land Bank, the Joint Stock Land Banks and Mortgages for the purpose of-reaching a basis for refinancing existing farm mortgage debts. It is felt that this is a very important feature of the meeting. General plans lor refinancing seems to have been made but there Seems to be need to set up details to govern the individual farm mortgagor, the "Joint Stock Land Bank and the Fed -eral Land Bank to put into action the ?farm loan relief intended by The Em ergency Mortgage Act. h Also, it was stated that the primary purpose of this meeting is to serve the farm interest tinder the Emergency Farm Mortgage Act. Other business interested may attend the meeting primarily as observers. i ?

Peek, admin istrator, called a conference of repre sentatives of the cotton industry for Saturday. At that time, representatives off ail phases of the industry, including! growers, ginners, spinners, haulers,! manufacturers of cotton products and! dealers, will be asked to present! their views on the type of program I they favor, and whether efforts [ should be made to put any plan into! operation on this year's crop. C. A. Cobb, Atlanta, cotton pro-! duction administrator, will' preside! over the conference, whkh will be similar to one held last week fort wheat. I M.' L. Wilson, wheat production! administrator, in a series of infor-1 mal conference today, went over! suggestions made by wheat growers! that processing taxes for that grain! be put into effect by August 1 and! that producers this summer be paid! bonuses in cash fbf agreements to I reduce acreages of next year's crop. I Cobb returned today after a fur-j vey of the South, daring which he! interviewed growers and others at to j the desirability of applying the act! this year. Many Southern legisla-j tors, including Chairman Smith,! Democrat, South Carolina, of the Senate Agriculture Committee, re gard this "as essential" because of the large carryover of cotton from a! year ago. ^ a _' I Cobb declined to say wnat conclu sions he reached, joining Peek, Sec retary Wallace and other adminis- * trators in the position that persons interested in the industry rather than the adimnistration should tike the initiative in outlining an? Ap proach to the cotton problem. Saturday's conference, as was that for wheat, will be of an advisory nature. The administrator hopes to ' determine whether there are import ant differences in viewpoints" m plans discussed in recent montha and ? to have men selected from each phase of the industry who will be avail able here for later conferences in event it is - decided .. to seek early action. ' . ' If a plan is worked out to apply to this year's crop ,a formal meet ing will be conducted soon after wards to consider objections, if any are presorted. A formal hearing is necessary be fore any procesing tax can be lev ied. These taxes' are one of the ways in which any program to reduce pro duction by planters might be financed. Leasing of lands can also be done under the powers delegated to Wallace. Wallace Monday intimated that expenditure of $150,000,000 in the form of rentals or bonuses to grow ers would take enough cotton acre age out of production- this year to maintain prices at from 10 to 12 cents a pound. Meanwhile, Wallace announced the procedure will be followed for pub lic hearings on proposed trade agree ments. The first one will be taken up next Monday, wh$k a proposal from producers and distributors in the Chicago mi lk shed will be consid ered. The Roosevelt bill vputting $600, 060,000 in Federal farm credit facil ities under the direction of one man was passed by the House today in record time and sent to the Senate, where speedy action was forecast Without even a standing vote, and with no more than 200 of the 485 members present at any one time, the House accepted the farm credit act of 1038, it came from the agri culture committee.' The much-talked bf rule forbidding amendments was thrpwn aside, and members- given opportunity to pro* pose any change they chose?but Jess than half a dosan were proffered Expect Resolution At I July SMonvehtio^ Reynolds and Others To Speak ; Raleigh, Jane 1.?First salos in the campaign to pat this State on record as favoring repeal of the 18th amend ment will be fired at Wrightsville Beach on July 8 when the Young! Democratic Clubs of North Carolina gather for their annual convention. United &ates Senator Robfcrt R. Reynolds, an avowed repealist, will address the convention. He has said he will devote part of his speech to discussion of prohibition. It is expected that a resolution will be offered to put the organiza tion, containing 25,000 active mem bers, on record as favoring repeal of the State as well as the national prohibition laws. Calling of the convention was made yesterday by J. Dewey Dor sett, State president of the Voung Democratic Clubs, after consultation with Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus, J. Wallace Winborne, chairman of the State Democratic Executive Com mittee, and other party leaders, and with the approval of the Executive Committee. . In addition to Senator Reynolds, Governor Ehringhaus has accepted an invitation to speak. The entire North Carolina delegation in the Congress has been invited to attend, as well as party leaders gcferally. The address of Senator Reynolds will, mark his first public appearance in North Carolina since the fall campaign. He has said he has not as yet arranged to deliver any other speeches in this State. Election of officers will take place, with Mrs. May Thompson Evans^ of High Point, present State vice presi dent, being considered as a lively successor to President Dorsett, who has said be will not consider re nomination to the office. - "Repeal of the prohibition amend ment may be made an issue in this convention, stated President Dorsett yesterday. "Consideration of timely public questions is a part of the public policy if the Young Demo cratic Clubs of America and the North Carolina division, and the fullest opportunity will be given for disco&fbn from the floor of the con vention."

A large graduating class, consisting of 45 young1 women, recdivedbachelor of arts, bachelor of music and bachelor of seidnce degree's. 1 The speaker of the occasion, Mrs. J. M. Hobgdod of Farmville, former 1 president of the Federation of Wom an's Clubs of North Carolina, was 1 introduced by Mrs. G. O. Rogers of 3 WhiteviUe, president of the alum nae association of the college. Mrs. ' Hobgobd delivered a most beauti- 1 ful and inspiring address to the j graduates with a grace and charm of manner that surpassed even the 1 greatest expectations of her most ' enthusiastic admirers, and captivat- ' ed her audience from the first mo ment. < Speaking to the girls as An alumna of the college, one of their owti 1 numbeT whose 'schedule ran a little < bit ahfead of their own' she made 1 them fed at once her wholehearted, < sympathetic understanding of the problems they will faee and the ?' ideals toward which they strive. She i pointed out to them their place, as 1 the womanhood of today; in the na- ? tional life of our country, from the 1 standpoint of home-makers who have 1 the broader interests of the com- < munity, state and nation at heart; ) home-makers who do not shirk the L?-? :? * ? - - ' ? -t. . - ' post of duty in this larger field oat side the home; home-makers who , make their home a blessing not ojfly to its inmates, but to the world at large.

P. Morgan & Co., into a world banking power: It was drawn March 81, 1916, after the death of the elder J. Pierpont Morgan. It grants the present J. P. Morgan the final decision in all disputes be tween the partners. All partners must agree to every transaction. Morgan may compel any partner to withdraw and fix the amount of funds due the partner. Morgan may dissolve the partner ship with the consent of partners rep resenting a majority interest in the ih the profits. ^Speculation in stocks or anything else" 1b prohibited to the partners, trat they may invest their own money is they see fit No partner may engage in any >ther business. Upon Morgan's death, surviving partners could inherit "the good will jf the business," and, if a majority in terest could agree upon new terms, ?ontfcnie the business. Bet should there be no lineal de scendant of Morgan in the partner ship, "the right to the use of the firm lame J. P. Morgan & Co., shall cease ifter 15 years from such time, unless pefore the expiration of such 1,5 years there ihould again be such r. lineal iescendant of Mr, J. P. Morgan in the partnership." Pitt County j Farm us (By E. F. Arnold, County Agent) J The next sixty days farmers will have various kinds of insects to con-1 lend with in the different crops grown I in the county, especially is this true of tobacco. The budworm does thousands ofl iollars worth of injury to the growers I of this county annually and is one of J the most easily controlled insects we I have. If each farmer will go over his I Field of tobacco at this time and drop | in the bud the amount of corn meal] and poisqn that he can hold between { the index finger and the thumb and] repeat every week or ten days until] the plants are topped, he should have ] no budworm injury. It is a very sim pie reniedy and yet 10092 effective if] properly used. The poison mixture] calls for 1% or 2 pounds of arsenate] of lead to 60 pounds of corn meal,] the meal to be free of husks. Twelve | pounds of this mixture is sufficient] for one acre. Those who are having] trouble with insects relative to tobac-1 co may secure from thia office circu- ] lar No. 174, which gives instructions | for insect control of this crop. We also have a supply of Farm] and Home Garden Manuals for dis- ] tribution among the growers, which] have information on growing and in-] Beet control. * Farm Relief Act ] The press carries daily accounts of] farmers pouring milk.into sewers in] the great cities which have long] breadlines and hungry children. Ap-| pie crops are going unharvestcd on] the ground and yet these apples are] needed for food supply. Some people ask the question: Is] there, really a surplus of farm pro- ] duce when people are going hungry ] in the cities? However, we are faced with a con- ] dition of large surpluses existing side] by side with breadlines and that these ] same surpluses cause economic waste] of human effort The. truth is, consumption of food] has not declined very much. In one] way or another the people are being] fed and still there is an unsalable] surplus of basic commodities in the] channels of trade. For instance* at the beginning of the present crop] year we had on hand a wheat carry over of 250,000,000 bushels in excess] of normal; of flue-cured tobacco, 150, 000,600 pounds in excess of normal;] of cotton, 7,000,000 bales in excess of] normal. Therefore it nas oeen necemmry m Hf* Farm Act to provide means for reducing these surpluses in spite of the fact that people are going hungry 'and without clothes. To ignore these suxpkufes would mean that the far* mers would go on producing for a market that does not exist, one that there it no profit in. The Act recog nises that farmers cannot buy from industry until prices of farmproducO go up. It also recognizes that prices cannot'go up in the face of unsalable surplosbs. ^'herefore machinery has provides sev^al ways devoted to these crops from the farm ers who will reduce their acreage. They have authority to give farmers options on cotton at low prices for the purpose of reducing acreage. They may enter into agreement with manu factured of farm products whereby prices may be maintained, provided farmed in turn reduce their acreage for theie better prices;, There is one outstanding advantage in thesfe provisions in that the farm ers whb participate and cooperate with tWe government get the advance price through these rental payments and other provisions regardless of whethef or not the price of commodi ties go up. The fanner who does not cooperate and produces the surpluses will be'the man who suffers. ? GREATER NEW TORE New York, May XI.?The metropolis tan population of New York is 12r 616,300, an increase of nearly 600,000- r*. since the 1930 census, the merchants Swretary Hull Express meitts - ? - .... - Bboard S. S. President Roosevelt, with American Delegation to Ixmdon Economic Conference, May 81.?A de termination to reach an international agreement by early August was ex pressed today by members of the Amerikan delegation to the world monetary and economic conference as they sailed for London. "Our delegation naturally is keep ing expressly in mind the purposes expressed by the President a num ber of times, to the effect that it is earnestly hoped the London economic conference will be able to conclude its work within eight weeks," said Secretary of State Hull, delegation chairman. * "Especially we hope this, as it re lates to a program dealing with the fundamentals of the economic situa tion.- The crisis in all countries is sufficiently great and urgent to make six or eight weeks of conference ex tremely imperative, rather than a long drawn out one." Sailing on the President Roosevelt with Secretary Hull were two other delegates, Senator Key Pittman, of Nevada, and Representative S. D. McReyholds, of Tennessee, together with 43 advisers and stenographers and 13 relatives. The remaining three delegates? former1 Governor James M. Cox, of Ohio; Senator James Couzens, of Michigan, and Ralph W. Morrison, of Sah Antonio ? will take later boats, but will reach London before the conference opens on June 12. "We ought to get an agreement regardless of the time it takes," said Secretary Hull in an interview just before the liner 'sailed. Asked whether there was any pros pect of lowering tariffs, he answer ed: "The1 fact that the entire world is in a state of bitter economic war and all the world is at present function ing on an artificial basis affords the strongest reason for an egreement among the countries to gradually low er trade barriers and stabilize the currency exchange, with a correspond ing restoration of international fi nance and trade." He pointed out that the program for the conference, if carried out, would fcive remedies equally bene ficial tb the people of all countries. "The' result of this," he added, "is thit there will be no occasion for trading or bargaining, and there fore thfere should be an agreement as to the fundamentals of the situation in a few weeks that should equally ap ply to currency stabilization as well as to trade barriers." The delegation's instructions from the WHite House emphasize the im portance of avoiding attempted dis cussions of minor matters. The Americans expect to move at the outset for a limitation on the length end number of formal ad dresses; High on the list of matters to be decided* the delegates put stabiliza tion of the currencies of the im portant countries by de facto ar rangement striking a working ratio covering the value of the pound, dollar hnd franc. This would form a sound basis for attack on other problems of the conference, includ ing trade barriers, they feel. On the practicability of reducing tariffs to any great extent, many of the members of the American party are frdnkly pessimistic, pointing to ?recent expressions in both France and Great Britain favoring making each of those countries, together with itfc possessions, even more of a self-coritained economic unit than is now thfe case.
