' i -n-.-, - - Department of Agricul ture Says Outlook Fav orable for 1936 Tobacco Crop; Decrease, How ever, Advisable. * Washington, Nov. 4. ? Prospects i for tobacco to maintain price levels! in 1936 were said today by the Agri-J cultural Department to be "favor-1 able." However, decreases in the produc-J tion of flue-course, Maryland leaf, J and fire-cured tobacco were report-1 ed "advisable." "Although it is true of many types! that the carry-over continued to I be larger than normal" the depart-! ment 1936 crop outlook said "the! situation during the last year was J improved to such an extent that! with a continuation production I control the price outlook for the I coming year may be considered fa-J vorable." T naA consumption | ilicrcaa^vi of cigarettes and cigars was point ed to as a bright sign of recovery. A marked decrease in exports was reported for the past year. The re ports said, however, the prices were | made favorable- for foreign sale. With a moderate decrease in pro duction of flue-cured next year, the report said the outlook for the cig arette type is for favorable prices. Allow More Time For Filing Certificates ( a/i- ' (Jrowers wno wish tu >i? y. ? . justment payments on cotton soTd I before November 1 must have the sales certified by their county agents ' not later than November 16. s The Agricultural Adjustment Ad ministration requires that the origi nal copy of each sales certificate 5e filed with the local county agent, ex plained J. F. Criswell, of State Col lege. The certificates for cotton sold aft er November 1 must be filed with the agents not later than seven days 1 after sale, Criswell added. The original ruling of the AAA j was that cotton sold prior to October ' 23 must be certified in the county agents' offices by November 1. A 15-day extension has been grant ed in the time allowed for filing cer tificates from sales, Criswell said, 1 and the period including early sales ' has been extended through October 1 31. < TVia are necessary to 1 qualify grower for the adjustment payments. On the certificates are recorded data regarding the date of sale, the amount of cotton sold, the names of the buyer and the seller, and other information. The price adjustment payments to a grower will be the amount Fy which the average price of 7/8 inch middling cotton may fall short of 12 cents on the ten spot markets of the nation on the day the grower sells his cotton. However, the pay ments cannot exceed two cents a pound. Consequently, Criswell pointed out, it is obvious that accurately filled out sales certificates are essential to cal culating the amount of the adjust ment payments.

The car was searched and saw ed off shot guns, high powered rifles and other firearms were found. The man arrested here stated to a represented of The Enterprise that he was in no way connected with those arrested in the car in Wilson, but that he was a gambler by pro fession and that he arrived in Farm ville by thumbing a ride. He stated he had heiard there was much gamb ling going on around the tobacco towns of Eastern Carolina and that I he came down with the hope of get ting some] of it in a square way.

Urges That Farmers Grow More Soybeans "The crying need of most North Carolina soils is for more organic matter. "Soils need plenty of organic mat ter to supply plant food, to keep them mellow and friable, and to make crops less subject to drought. | "Organic matter helps the soil absorb moisture and hold it This checks erosion in rainy feather and keeps the land from drying out rapid lly in dry weather. [ "Soybeans greatly increase the organic matter in the soil, when i plowed under, and this is one of the reasons why I recommend that farm ers raise more soybeans," said C. B. Williams, head of the agronomy de partment at State College. I A good crop of soybeans will pro duce one and a quarter to two tons of plant material on each acre. Each ton of soybenas contains as much nitrogen as 300 pounds of nitrate of soda or 200 pounds of sulphate of ammonia. j Or the plants may be cut for hay and fed to livestock with excellent ! results, as attested by animal hus bandmen at the college. However, when the crop is cut for hay, they do not add any nitrogen or organic matter to the soiL v The beans may be fed to livestock, but they tend to produce an oily meat So it is recommended that the beans be crushed into meal with the oil removed. Soybean meal may be fed without any had effects, it was pointed out Professor Williams urges growers to save' their best seed for planting next year. If they have a surplus, they may sell It at a fair profit to their neighbors. TO SING AT THANKS | GIVING SERVICE I ????

On November 11th, 1918 there was a ? call to find how many young men had been left alive after the bloody World War. Since the World War the Red Cross has carried on nobly in every field of service where it was needed worst. No other agency has been able to meet emergencies with such swift ness and efficiency. The roll call will be conducted by those who are willing to give their time for the success of a very worthy cause; it seems that the smallest thing anyone could do on being ap proached is to consider the good that has been done by the Red Cross, and consider whether the money donated to the Red Cross has been spent wisely^ Every one should consider it a privilege and an honor to have a chance to contribute to the Red Cross, and I hope that any and every one who is able will contribute at least ONE DOLLAR to the Red Cross when called upon by the work ers next week. The Roll Call will last for the en tire week throughout the nation, but the workers will call on the people of Farmville from Wednesday through Friday?be on the look out and answer your call willingly and quick ly?with $1.00 or more, according to your ability. ?

Violation of Two Proceding Sections a Misdemeanor. Violation of any of the provisions of the two preceding sections shall be a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or imprisonment, or, in the dis cration of the court, by both. Due to the complaints of the wide spread violation of the above law, and to the bad influence that such violation has on the young boys and girls of the community, it is hoped that everyone who is now operating a punch-board or other gambling di vice will cease to do so at once; it is a state law and the officers of the law have been sworn to enforce all laws. A fortune gained by gambling is only temporary, and a citizenship ? ?.i brought up around a punch-board will be weak.
