Federal Govt Expects
Tobacco Price Levels
Be Maintained in 1936
? ??? ' 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.

Three Strange Men In *

One Taken Here While

ed in Wilson ; Car Con
tained Shot Guns and j
High Powered Rifles
The actions of three strange men|
who arrived in the city Thursday
morning, driving a Fond car bearing
California license, attracted - the at
tention of Eugene Hobgood, a former
policeman here, at Monk's warehouse,
who immediately notified the bank
and officers. Immediately, secret
guards with shot guns were station
ed within the bank, as an attempted
holdup was expected. One of the
trio, giving his name as J. I. Labelle,
of Detroit, visited the bank and had
a bill changed, and was notieed ap
parently taking in the situs cion. Of
ficers in the meantime were circuling
the square, and the car containing
the other two soon disappeared. It
was later learned that the car was
seen going toward Wilson. Local of
ficers immediately telephoned the po
lice of Wilson who met the car and
arrested the driver and his compan
ion. 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. TTKe
police, however, failed to accept such
a story and he with the others will
be turned over to Federal Authori
ties for further investigation.
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.

total poundage to 24,661,944 pounds,
the cash receipts to $5,451,134.39 and
the average to $22.10, according to
official figures today, Thursday.
One of the heaviest sales of the
season was experienced here on Mon
day, with only two of the four houses
having sale" during the day. Rec
ords for the day reveal a total of
660,330 pounds, which sold for $17,

kept Farmville in the average lead
again for the big sales day of the
week in this belt.
This is the 11th week of the cur
rent season, and tobacconists are
urging farmers to sell the remainder
of their crop as rapidly as possible,
but at the same time are advising
them to grade and handle the weed
with great care to insure its chances
of bringing the highest dollar to the
grower.
At the end of the 11th week last

It is significant that the Red Cross
roll call shall begin on November

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

ed, played or patronized by phying
of money or other thing of value for
the privilege thereof. Each time
said punch-board, machine for vend
ing merchandise, or other gambling
divice, by whatsoever name known
or called, is operated, played or pa
tronized by the paying of money or
other things of value therefore, shall
constitute a separate violation of this
section as to operation thereunder.
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. Let us seek more worthy
entertainment and a more permanent
investment It is a state law and
until same is removed from the
statute books, officers of the law will
net do their duty unless they enforce
same.
