Soil Program Modified
To Reach More Farmers
' ir i
Under New R?Kb$ far
mers Wto Fill to Meet
The Original Minimum
Requirements Can Still
Qualify For Partial
Payments
The soil-improvement program has
be-n made more flexible ao that a
greater number of farmers wijl be
able to qualify for payments.
Originally, the program specified
that a farmer must have an acreage
of soil-conaerving crops equal to at
least 20 per eent of his base acreage
of cotton, tooacco, or peanuts, and at
least 15 per cent of his base acreage
of other soil-depleting crops.
Under a new ruling, said Dean I.
0. Sehaub, of State College, growers
who fad to meet the original mini
mum requirements can still qualify
for partial payments.
For each acre by whieh they fail
to meet the minimum requirements,
a deduction will be made in their'
payment equal to one and a half
times the rate of the soil-conaerving
payment on crops other than cotton,
tobacco, and peanuts.
In North Carolina, the soil-con
serving payment, for taking land out
of soil-depleting crops and putting
it into soil-conserving crops, will
probably be around $10 an acre, ex
cept in the case of cotton, tobacco,
and peanuts.
On cotton and tobacco the rate is
five cents a pound on the average
production of the land taken out of
these crops, and on peanuts the rate
is 1 1/4 cents a pound.
Another ruling provides that acre
age planted to winter cover crops
and green manure crops after it has
* *?Kla cmnc will be classi
DeCU lil ?cgcw?w*v v.?r. 9
fied as soil-conserving- if it is turned
under as green manure between Jan
uary 1 and October 1, 1936.
However, the cover and manure
crops must have been growing at
least two months before being turn
ed unden
The dean also pointed out that
farmers who ? already have large
acreages of soil-conserving crops,
but comparatively small acreages of
soil-depleting crops, may obtain soil
building payments without decreas
ing the amount of their cash crops.
If they do not reduce their de
pleting crops, he explained, they will
not receive a soil-conserving pay
ment, for they will not have shifted
any land from depleting to conserv
ing crops.
But they will be entitled to soil
building payments for the soil-con
serving crops, while soil-conserving
payments are made for caking land
out of depleting crops and putting it
in soil-conserving crops.
The AAA has eliminated the term
soil-building crops. Crops formerly
under this classification are now in
cluded with the soil-conserving crops.
The division of payments between
landlord and tenant has been modi
fied in this region so that 16 2/3 Rer
cent of the payment will go to the
person furnishing the land, 16 2/8
per cent to the person furnishing the
workstock and tools, with 66 2/3 per
cent being divided in the same pro
portion that die crop is divided be
tween them.
The regulations previously estab
lished provided for a division of the
payments between landlord and ten
ant according to the way the crop
was divided between them, with nc
allowance made for the person furn
ishing the land, tools, or workstock.

Clinic To Be Held Here
111 City Hall on Tues
day, May 12th
The Pitt County Health Officer,
Dr. N. Thomas Ennett, again calls
attention to the fact that a free
State Tuberculosis Clinic will be held
in Pitt County, beginning' Monday,
May 11th, according to the follow
ing schedule:
Greenville, Health Department, 215
W. 3rd Street, Monday, May 11th.
Farmville, City Hall, 2nd floor,
Tuesday, May 12th.
Ayden, City Hall, 2nd floor, Wed
nesday, May 13th.
Greenville, Health Department,
Thursday, May 14th and Friday, May
15th. -
Dr. Ennett states that it is neces
sary that patients be recommended
to the clinic by their own doctor, and
he suggests that you get in touch
with your family physician at once,
asking him for a note of reference.
Unless you make an appointment
early, you may not be able to get
into the clinic at all Children will
be seen without any appointment.
The Health Officer is especially anxi
ous to have all children tuberculin
tested who have been exposed to tu
berculosis in the home.
The time to come to the clinic is
when you are doubtful as to the
necessity for coming. If you wait
until you are sure you should come,
then you have lost valuable time.
The examination is free, but in
case an X-ray is necessary, the pa
tient, if able, is supposed to pay a
small fee*
Dr. Ennett urges that you not wait
for your physician to suggest that
you come to the clinic, but that you
make the first move yourself.

Recommend Red Polled
Cows For Small Farms
Red Polled cattle are a dual pur
pose breed and as such they have not
gained as wide popularity in the
United States as the strictly beef
and dairy breeds.
As the name indicates, this breed
is red in color and the cattle have
polled or hornless heads, say live
stock authorities at State College.
They rank high is milk producers,
it was stated, and herds which have
been selected and bred for milk pro
duction have made exceedingly good
records for both milk and butterfat
production.
Am,ruio-h ffiav are not ud to the'
A<tlI?ww0M *
standard of the strictly beef herds,
authorities say. they have a place on
the small farm where they produce
enough milk for the family use and
at the same time produce steers for
market that are superior to regular
dairy cattle as beef animals.
In general, Red Polled cattle are
medium in size. Both the head apd
neck $re longer and leanjsr than are
desired in strictly beef type cattle.
Although the body has not as much
flesh covering as the strictly beef
breed animal, it is well ribbed and
the hooks are smooth?
The hind quarters lack the thick
ness and depth of the beef breeds,
yet they are superior to those on cat
tle of the strictly dairy breeds,
Livestock men point out that the
lack of fat covering on Red Polled
cattle is not a serious handicap, for
consumers do not like large quanti
ties of fat on their meat,
to bring this amount to this figure. *
"Again we thank you and our
large family sends greetings and
best wishes to you and the brejhern."
Sincerely,
Nannie P. Bessent, Office Mgr.,
Oxford Orphanage Singing Class.

Pitt Co. Formers
Make Big Saving
FCA Has Saved Pitt
Farmers More Than
$11,800 a Year on In
terest Alone
Refinancing debts through the
Farm Credit Administration has sav
ed Pitt County fanners more than
$11,800 a year on interest alone, ac
cording to figures from the central
office of the Farm Credit Adminis
tration in Washington.
Over $714,000 of farm debts with
interest rates that averaged 6.0 per
cent a year have been refinanced
with long-term mortgage loans car
rying interest rates of 5 per cent a
year or less, '
The figures show that the local
National Farm Loan Association has
been a big factor in making these
long-term mortgages available at
low interest rates. The Association
guarantees loans to the Federal land
bank.
From May 1933, when the Farm
Credit Administration was organiz
ed, to the end of last year, 240 Pitt
County fan^jeo obtained $625,000
for the specific purpose of refinanc
ing old debts.
The Federal Land Bank made 133
first mortgage loans and the Land
Bank Commissioner 234. loans. Many
61 the Commissioner's loans were
made on second mortgage security
to farmers who also obtained first
mortgage loans. Most land bank
loans are endorsed by associations
and advanced from funds obtained by
selling farm loan bonds. The Com
missioner lends from funds provided
by the Federal Government.
As in the past, the Federal land
banks are making loans only on first
mortgage security, lending up to
about one-half of the appraised nor
mal value of the farm property. The
Commissioner lends on second as well
" ?? ? oAA.iwftv in omnnnfo
as nrai uiurigtlg*; gciuiik; m nuxw^vw
up to 75 per cent of the value. The
largest amount of a Commissioner
loan to one farmer is $7,500.
An act of Congress last summer
temporarily reduced intei-est rates on
all Federal land bank loans?old and
new. When land bank loans are
inade through National Farm Loan
Associations, the rata is only 8 1/2
per cent for all interest payable in
the year ending June 30, 1936, and
4 per cent a year in the two years'
following. This temporary reduction
of*interest rates on all Federal land
bank loans is paid for by the Federal
Government, which reimburses the
banks for what otherwise would be a
loss to them.
Due to favorable investment mar
ket conditions when the Federal land
banks sold bonds recently, the banks
can'offer new loans, at present, at
the interest rate of 4 per ceni a year,
the iowelt'at which they have, ever
lent money.
The statement from the Farm
, Credit Administration points out
that a farmer who gets a Federal
land; bank loan through the local Na
tional FarxfcLoan Association while
thr4 per cent interest rate lasts will
not have to pay a higher rate during
the entire term of the loan, which
may be made for a period as long as
30-odd Spfe. Farmers who are pay
ing higher Interest rates on ahort
' t?"? fillR- mortgages, or other ac
| chip nlpra iMbts, may find it advnn

At a mass meeting held in the City
Hall Thursday night to talk over the *
advisability of issuing bonds for
needed improvements to Hid " light
and water plant here, and th? exten
sion of the town's sewer linear the'
prevailing sentiment was almost Un
animous in favor of the'project.
Mr. William C. Oisen, consulting
engineer, of Raleigh, was present
and explained the technical and prac
tical advantages to be gained from
the installation of the new machin
ery and equipment.
It was observed that the town
would necessarily have to spend a
considerable amount to maintain the
present inefficient plant, to say noth
ing of the rapidly increasing busi
ness.
It was also learned that by in
stalling the new plant in question,
the savings in operating expense,
fuel, etc., over the period of the ma
turity of the bonds would more than
pay off the bonds, and that instead
of increasing the tax rate, as some
feared, it wonld probably be the
means of eventually lowering the
rate.
With this information before the
meeting, which was well attended, a
rising vote of those present revealed
the fact that about 99 percent favor
ed the project.
Farmville continues to move for

To Have Kitchen
Comfort Week
What have you done in the last
five years to improve your kntchen?
The question was put to a number of
women in this city who are known to
take an intelligent interest in prob
lems of home management Nearly
half of those interrogated looked
over their kitchens thoroughly and
found themselves unable to point out
any important progress.
Of the remainder, a surprisingly
large percentage talked with enthus
iasm about kitchen cabinets. If local
experience can be taken as a criterior
the cabinet idea is helping material-'
ly to lift things out of the old rut
and rescue home workers from a
great deal of needless drudgery. This
is reflected in the remarkable in
crease noted by merchants in the
volume of sales.
Clear thinking women who have
sought to analyze the kitchen cabinet
and its logical place in the domestic
scheme otter some interesting and
perhaps unexpected conclusions.
They find that the cabinet, in ad
dition to its facilities for storage, its
vitreous work surface and other con
veniences, has a far reaching effect
ntt the whole chain of oDerations en
taring into the preparation of food.
Because the cabinet it a natural
work center, use of it almost invari
ably results in smoother operation
and orderly arrangement throughout
the kitchen.
Then by its very nature the-cabi
net insures a high degree of cleanli
ness and sanitation accompanied by
an actual saving of food ingredients.
The net result is better food at lower
cost.
, Through its beauty of design and
finish it encourages harmonious and
colorful effects in the arrangement
of kitchens.
Most important of all, its remark
able step-saving convenience gives a
