Reynolds Gets Tobacco
Bill Into Senate Snarl
Faces Threat of Recon
sideration; Bill's Jour
ney to. White House
Decayed ; ,
Washington, April 23.?The Kerr
tobacdo compact bill today again
collided with the Kerr-Coolidge
alien deportation bill when Senator
William H. King, of Utah, threat
ened to retaliate by reconsidering
the tobacco bill for an alleged viola
tion of agreement on the part of
Senator Robert R. Reynolds. Noth
ing came of the threat and the de
portation bill, subject of the agree
ment, went over" until tomorrow.
On Tuesday, Senator Reynolds, '
who had been leading a filibuster
against the alien bill, agreed to
speak only three hours further in
return for an agreement by Senator
King that the tobacco bill should
be taken up and passed, which was
done.
Today Senator Reynolds made
the claim that remarks on other I
subjects should not be counted in I
his time on the pending bill, which I
brought down on his head, not only I
the threat of Senator King, but a I
stinging rebuke by Senator Minton, I
of Indiana, who was presiding tern-1
porarily.
Later, Senator Robinson, of Ar-1
kansas, majority leader, showed J
considerable impatience.
Senators Reynolds and King had-j
renewed their dispute as to the ex- J
acf nature of the agreement when I
Senator Robinson arose and said: I
"What difference does it make ? [
If Senators make an agreemnt, I
what difference does it make how I
and why they did it?"
With several other Senators occu
pying the floor much of the day, I
Senator Reynolds did not actually I
occupy the floor more than the I
agreed time.
Senator King ana ne are sew m
dispute as to whether all of his time
should be counted.
Senator. Reynolds hopes that he
will prevail in his motion to re
commit, which is the pending ques
tion.
If the bill is recommitted, that
will end the matter. If it is not
and Senator Reynolds attempts to
speak further at length, there may
be more fireworks.
While nothing is expected to
come of Senator King's threat tc
reconsider the tobacco bill, the
measure was delayed in reaching
the White House due to the rules
of the House which requires that a
bill should be signed when the
House is in session. Technically,
it is not .m session when sitting as
a committee of the whole.
The House was in committee
V , ?
practically all of today and Speaker
Byrns did ' not affix his signature
until after the Senate had ad
journed, automatically carrying over
the signature of Vice-President Gar
ner t until tomorrow.
After Senator McAdoo concluded
a speech on impeachment of judges,
Senator Reynolds took the floor and
announced that he would discuss at
length; /international affairs; world
trade- and the Gkeat Smoky Mountain
National
Senator King immediately made
a point of order that the North*
Carolinian/' was 'actually taking
time-ma the pending Kerr-Coolidge
alien importation bill.
Senator Reynolds took, the posi
tion' that he was not speaking about
the-fcOl and was therefore not violat
ing. Ids agreement with the Utah
SetfRfonv:?? ;?
Alfef the two Skrtfittore had it
hammer and tongs for a few min
utes, Senator Minton ruled that no
matter what Reynolds was talking
about, he was using his remaining
time under the agreement.
Senator Neely, of West Virginia,
asked for a ruling from the chair
as to whether or not the Senate
could operate under some side
agreement which might take place
between Senators. Neely added that
if "that were the ease, he would
seek a change in the Senate rales.
At.. the juncture, Vice-President
Gamer, obvious fearing a precedent
would be set by Minton, rushed up
to the chair and made some re
marks:
Minton then made this statement:
"If the North Carolina Senator
wishes to repudiate his uadenteaid
ing with the Senator from Utah, he
has that right. It was a gentle
men's agreement between Senators,
and if he wants to beeak it, he can."

Erosion Control Part
Of New Farm Program
Controlling erosion, the thief of
fertile topaoil from thousands of
acres in North Carolina, is & promi
nent feature of the new soil-improve
ment program.
The soil-building and conserving
crops advocated under the new pro
gram serve to check erosion in sev
eral ways, said John W. Goodman,
assistant director of the State Col
lege agricultural extension service.
While these crops are growing, he
said, their roots form a'thick mat
which holds the soil particles in
place. They also check the run-off
of rain water by impeding its flow
downhill and by increasing the capa
city of the land to absorb water in
large quantities.
Then after they have been plowed
| under, the building and conserving
cjrops add organic matter to the soil
that makes it soft and spongy. Rain
^oaks into such soil and is held for
long periods^
Soil well filled with organic matter
Uso has a greater tendency to re
main in place than gritty sand or
?lay soils, Goodman pointed out
When the soil absorbs large quan
tities of water, he continued, it pre
vents floods during heavy rains and
keeps the land from drying out so
completely when rainfall is scarse.
On an eight per cent slope, he
added, a field on which nothing but
corn is grown will lose 25 per cent
of its rainfall by immediate run-off
and an average of 67 tons of soil
per acre through erosion each year.
But if the field is in a good soil
building crop, it will lose less than
five per cent of its rainfall and only
s few hundred pounds of soil per
acre.
When corn, wheat and clover are
grown in rotation, the field kept con
tinually in corn, and the soil losses
are only one-seventh as much. '

Big Crowd Expected for
Dance to Be Held In
Watson Warehouse
Jan Garber and his Orchestra, who
played to one of the largest crowds
in the dance history of Eastern Caro
lina in Farmville in Jane, 1934, will
make his only appearance in North 1
Carolina this season Tuesday, April
28th in Wilson.
The One and Only Garber, who has
been justly named "The Idol of the
Airianes" will bring all his famous
band with him to Wilson for tins oc
casion. Those of you who heard him
in 1934 will remember the smooth,
rhythmic voices of Lew Palmer and
Lee Bennett, and the unexcelled nov
elty renditions of Rudy Rudisill and
Fritz Heilbron, jrnd will welcome the
opportunity of hearing them again.
Garber, who lived in Wilson for a
number of years, is looking forward
to this engagement in his old home
town, and has guaranteed that he
and his orchestra will offer the best
in music and 'entertainment to his
old friends in. this section. - v
The Watson Warehouse, ohe of the
most spacious in WQfon has been
secured for this occasion. Tim dance
space will be appropriately decorated
by a professional decorator. One of
the best sound system* in the state
jwill carry the strains of Garber**
sweet music to all parts of the boose.
Comfortable elecated bleachers have
been installed for the benefit of spec
tators.
The music will start promptly at
ten o'clock. All entrances will be
opened at 8:80 and recorded musk
will be played until the strains of
Jan 6arber immortal theme son;
"My Dear" officially opens a four
hour program of his inimitable melo
dies. Come early and avoid traffic
confusion.
Liming land is one of the soil im
proving practices for which credit
will be given in the new soil con
servation program.

Good news for farmers was con
tained in the recent disclosure that
the President has raised the $30,
000,000 crop loan fond to $87,000,
000. These loans, which are - now
available, are limited to the bor
rower's immediate needs and, in all
cases, to $200 per person. Interest
will be charged at &%%- and the
loan will constitute a first lien on
the crop financed by it ' ?
The loan regulations contain two
features which all farmers ' should
heed, regardless of whether or not
they are borrowers. Applicants
must plant a garden for home use.
Although the soundness of this is
widely recognized, there are still far
too many farmers who buy for cash
what they could grow at home.
Along the same lines, the regula
tions suggest that American made
supplies be used. Just as when v a
farmer has a home garden he Iceeps.
his money at home, when he buys
goods made in America he . keeps
money circulating at home where it
can do him further good. All the
farm equipment and fertilizer the
farmer needs is now made in Ameri
ca, and much of it is made right in
the South. In suggesting that these
domestic materials be used, Uncle
Sam is pointing out a sound economic
principle^

AD Plants Subject To
Parasites And Disease
? '
? The hniqjpn race would soon run
short of food if all methods of con
troling plant diseases were suddenly
abandoned.
Practically every-'plant now gim*
for food or other purpose is subject
to attack by diseases and parasites,
said Dr. R. F. Poole, plant patholog
ist at State College.
The exceptions ? are certain disease
resistant varieties which have been
developed within recent years.
? Artifical cultivation of crops, with
out disease control methods, is favor
able to the increase of plant diseases
and parasites, Dr. Poole added. ?
In the early days, when pioneers
were first wresting fields from the
forests, they had little need to wor-.
ry about disease infestations. But
those days have long since past.
Now it is almost impossible to
produce a crop of fruit sufficient to
supply the local demand without the
use of dusts, sprays, and other me
thods of insect and disease control,
Dr. Poole said.
"If you do not believe this," he
stated, "visit two orchards when the
fruit is ripe. Go to one where the
diseases have been kept under con
trol, then go to one where no effort
has been made to check them. Ob
serve the difference. The facts will
speak for themselves." s
? Fortunately, he * continued, re
search workers have found ways for
controlling most of the parasites and
diseases which now affect the farm
ers' crops.
The rest is largely up to the farm
ers, he commented. When they fol
low the recommended control prac
tices, they can produce good crops.
But when they grow lax and -care
less, diseases and parasites spread
rapidly and the crops suffer losses
that sometimes run into millions of
dollars.

Poppy Day Chairman
Poppy Day will be observed in
Fartnville, N. C., this year on Sat
urday, May 23, when memorial pop
pies to be worn in honor of the World
War dead will be distributed through
out the city by the Farmyille Unit
of the American Legion Auxiliary.
The Auxiliary women are making ex
tensive preparations for the observ
ance of the day under the leadership
of Mrs. M. V. Jones, Poppy Day
chairman.
The poppies, made of crepe paper
by disabled veterans, will be offered
on the streets by volunteer workers
from the Auxiliary Unit and cooper
ating organizations. "Poppy girls"
will distribute the flowers in the
business district throughout the day,
and will also work in the outlying
shopping centers. Contributions for
the welfare of the disabled veterans
and needy families of veterans will
be asked in exchange for the flowers.
"Wearing the poppy is a personal
tribute to the. men who gave their
lives in the country's service," Mrs.
Jones said, "By having a poppy on
the coat on Poppy Day, all can show
that t.hey still remember and honor
the sacrifices made for America dur
ing the World War. The poppy is
the flower which bloomed on the bat
tle fields where they fell and on Poppy
Day is blooms again over the patrio
tic hearts where they are remember

wearer a part in the vast work car

?Although congrean has just ap
proved the Kerr bill permitting to
bacco states to enter into compacts
among themselves to control acre
age, doubts arose today whether it
cduld be put into operation to curb
this year's .crop.
Four st&tes ? Virginia, Georgia
and the Carolina* ? produce the
world's supply of flue-cured tobacco
and of these, only Virginia has
passed the necessary legislation.
The situation in the Carolinas,
which prince the bulk of the crop,
was unsettled.
Governor E bring haus of North
Carolina remained non-committal
after a mass meeting of 6,000 grow
ers who "marched" on the capital
and urged him to call a special ses
sion of the legislature. The gover
nor contends the "model" Virginia
bill would not control the crop.
A control bill in the South Caro
lina legislature received a set back
Wednesday night when the senate
adopted an amendment which, its
sponsors said, would prevent it from
applying to this year's crop.
The amendment would make
acreage reduction in South Caro
lina state dependent upon legisla
tive action in Georgia, where a politi
cal situation gave farm leaders little
hope that Governor Talmadge could
be persuaded to summon the legisla
tion into special session.
In Georgia a voluntary control
campaign is underway, but Harry
L. Brown, director of Georgia agri
culture extension service, said only
about 50 per cent of the acreage
had been signed up so far.
"If North Carolina acts favorably
on the tobacco compacts," Brown
said, it is practically assured that
a sufficient number of Georgia
growers will be in line so far as
acreage and production are con
cerned to insure success of the pro
gram.
