The ideal farm program under "he AAA would be one confined to e u cational work and * soil conservation but in actual experience such a pro gram is inadequate. Thia is the opinion of J. B. Hutson, assistant administrator of the Agri cultural Adjustpaent Administration, who spoke twice last week before dele gates attending the 34th annual Firm and Home week exercises at State College. ? Mr. Hutson said it was almost, a. naasoaity to place some restrictions 09,the production of price-depressing sdtpluses of cash crops. Even with acseage control, there are oftentimes good growing seasons when produc tion will go-higher than was antici pated. Mr. Hutson declared that the pj^eent tobacco crop indicated a pro dqition of 750 million pounds and if the amount did not go materially be youd this figure, prices should be as good or better than last year. The cojUm situation does not look so good, h?< said. Indications are tiuit a P mMion bale crop will be produced in tbji South with consumption at 13 million bales. ?Looking forward to 1938, Mr. Hut soa said a simplified and more equit able farm program is being construct ed hy the MAv *?

B jjs Fire Fighters Hold Meeting '? < B Report Of Sharp Reduc tion In Fire Losses Made At Jubilee Con vention Greensboro, Aug. 10.?Nearly 2, 000 delegates had been registered to night as the North Carolina Fire men's Associtaion, much of routine business cleared away in an after noon meeting, perpared for the elec tion of officers tomorrow morning and the big parade and contests in the next two days. President W. E. Holland, Raleigh, reported general progress during the year and was roundly cheered. John L. Miller, Concord, secretary, reported 158 departments represent ed by chief firemen and 136 by as sistant chiefs; 153 departments rep resenten by 3,653 active members. A_ B. Horney, High Point, treasurer, reported association assets at $93, 443. R. A. Joyner, Farmvllle, statis tician, said fire losses in the state n 1936 totalled only $2,106,452, which he compared with a loss of >ver $8,000,000 in 1922, Towns of ess than 5,000 population had the lowest per capita loss last he said. Value of fire-fighting equipment in the sate was put by him at $3,128, 105. North Carolina's average fire nsurance rate is but 80 cents on the 5100 as compared with an average >f $1 for none other southeastern rtates. Mr. Joyner declared that ;nough had already been saved in -ates to pay for all firefighting ap paratus in the state. His report was ;ermed the best in the history of the association. Sherwood Brockwell, State Fire Vlarshall, reported that 226 firemen lad been given certificates at the \pril fire college and drill school n Durham. W. H. Palmer chief of . he Charlotte department was pre lented as the newly-elected presi ieht of the Association of Fire . Chiefs. The Tuesday program concluded ' with a jaboree athletic program at . he World War Memorial stadium ;onight It had opened this morning . with the usual welcoming exercises which were made memorable by the presence of six charter members of he association. They are C. D. Ben jow, J. R. Donnell, Harper Elam, Dr. J. W. Griffith, and Joseph J. Stone all of Greensboro, and A. B. Homey, High Point The rest of the jolden jubilee program will center ibout them.

I ?? T Feels Cotton ftierfoi Low J. T. Thome Predicts Smallest Carry-Overln Years Although the 16,593,000-bale cotton crop forecast by the government will be the largest in seven years and the fourth largest in 23-years, John T. Thome of Farmville a member of the board of directors of the North Caro lina Cotton Growers Cooperative association, sees through the rather gloomy outlook for cotton pricea hope shining in the smallest cotton carry aver in years and in the virtual cer tainty of favorable farm legislation before another crop year. Mr. Thorne, who has just returned from a board meeting of the State Cotton association and who discuss ed the cotton situation in detail with his fellow directors from all sections of the state, said that the general consesus of the board was that cotton prices should advance as the market ing season progresses. Mr. Thorne said that the Cotton association is advising farmers to store their cotton in bonded ware houses this year and draw an ad vance upon it if necessary and in so doing remain in a position to prof it from any rise in the market "This is one year that farmers, regardless of any government plan, cannot af ford to glut the market and sell out right at prices below the cost of pro duction," Mr. Thorne said. ' ? "+Viat "we are nopmg, w ???, ??>. the government will announce a 12 cent loan on cotton through the Com modity Credit Corporation and a res olution to this effect was passed by our board and telegraphed to Secre tary of Agriculture Wallace." At the board meeting If. O. Mann, general manager, reported that a re cent survey shows that the "Re-Pur chase Pool" of the cotton association, in operation now for the past two years, has been so satisfactory that th prospects for deliveries to the co operatives are "brighter than ever before." Mr. Thome commented that in the 'Re-Purchase Pool" the cotton association, a non-profit organization of leading cotton farmers in all of the cotton-growing counties has a plan that will benefit all types of growers. Under this plan, the cotton is graded and stapled and a price giv en by the cooperative and then if the farmer finds he can get more on the outside, he can get his identical cot ton back and sell it where he pleases. ~ ^ - ? m m New Patrol Autos Take Jjorii Soon First Shipment Already In Raleigh, Where Ve hicles Being Equipped With Radio Apparatus ":.V 'J * ?* Raleigh, Aug. 10.?By the end of the week travelers on North Carolina highways are likely to see state pa trolmen riding about in new patrol cars?sleek, shiny roadsters painted an attractive aluminum hue with flashy trimmings. First of the new machines began to arrive at Raleigh headquarters last Thursday, and work os {quipping them with radios was started .at once. There will be sixty new cars in all, and they will all be put' into commission as soon as the radio equipment is installed. Then they will be sent out?one to each patrol post where there is now an old car?and the machines now in use by the patrolmen will Be brought into Raleigh for installation of the radios, Major Charles Farmer says. *' ?'? ??' v When work on the old cars is fin ished they will be put back into ser vice and then every patrol, post in -the state will have a car, and each patrolman a motorcycle. Use of the radio system will not begin, Major Farmer said, until all cars have been equipped and are in commission. Then the central station will begin to function; but ra dio enthusiasts and those who are curious to know what's going on need not expect to get much information as practically all calls to the cars will- be made in code. . It would be obviously of more advantage-to crim inal* than to officers calls were nuufe in ordinary language.' " t ? 'BOY FALLS FROM CUFF. FQrt Lee, N.

Sims, Washington OorresDondent) I ' ."?? " \ Benefits paid to war veterans from the Revolution through the World Wsr, including peace-time pensions to retired and disabled soldiers, amounted to $21,993,632,26.6 up to May 81st, 1987, according to figures released by the Vterans' Administra tion. About one-twentieth of this immense sum came from insurance premiums, allotments and other funds ?leaving the net cost to the govern ent of a little less than $212,000,000, 000. Protectionists interests are report ed to have made plans to concentrate their attack on the reciprocal trade policy, by lambasting the Czecho slovak an treaty. The Government is expected to announce the list of pro ducts upon which it will consider granting concessions in order to se cure similar commercial favors from 1 Czecho-Slovakia. As Czecho-SlovaE ia is an industrial nation, producing a wide range of articles competitive with American goods, it is reasonably certain that some Amercain indos- ' tries will consider themselves adverse- < ly affected. They are expected to line up all industries which may be directly touched by lower duties and to appeal to other industries to join ' the fight on the ground that conces- 1 sions in later treaties will hit them. ' On the other hand, foreign traders in ' this country are preparing to answer 1 the attack in the belief that the Gov- l ernment will dodge serious trouble in 1 making the new agreement i< I Government navy yards have a fair < sized navy on the ways. With the 1 new battleships recently authorized < and including the cruisers, destroyers, submarines and cutters, the yards at 1 New York, Philadelphia, Boston, < Portsmouth, Charleston, Mare Island 1 and Puget Sound are constructing 89 < ships. Apparently, the Government 1 will have to plan for the bulk of its own construction in the future and this means that the yards will have to be equipped for construction on a larger scale than is now possible. As the declared naval policy of the Unit ed States calls for a fleet second to none, it appears certain that addit ional battleships will be required to equal the program of Great Britain. At least two more 86,000-ton battle ships are expected, to be authorized in the fiscal year beginning next July and one will probably be constructed on the Pacific Coast. More than 34,120,000 persons are ' employed hi non-agricultural Indus- ; tries, according* to Secretary Perkins, who says this represents an increase J of more than 8,200,000 since the low point of the depression in March, *SS. ' The Secretary of Labor says that manufacturing employment is now at a level substantially equal to that <Sl March, 1929, and the trade and ser- ' vice groups are employing nearly as many persons. On the contrary, however, construction employment is nearly thirty per cent, off, transpor- ; tation is twenty-four per cent, less and puhlic utilities sixteen per cent. ' lower. The Cabinet member urged "the raising and stabilizing of the wage earner's and farmers incomes so that more goods can be consumed in this country. x I . '??. ? * m Banks with unsound practices or maintaining improper financial struc tures will be weeded out by the Fed eral Deposit Insurance Corporation, which is virtually placing the insured hanks of the nation under the miscro scope. In cooperation with state hawking authorities it is "making a complete survey of the banks under their supervision with a view to de termining what corrective steps can be taken with regard to weak and unsound banks." Leo T. Crowley, chairman, thinks that 300 to 400 weak banks should be -weeded out of the system each year for several yews. He insists that if banks are unsound or insolvent after a period of sev eral years of increasing prosperity, there is little hope for their survival in any subsequent period of decreas ing prosperity.

Pitt county will get this year fifteen 16-foot Ford buses equip-1 ped with Hackney Brothers bodies.! These units will be used to replace those being eliminated this year on account of poor mechanical condition. Most of the replacements are in Falkland, Belvoir and Chi cod schools.

Unfortunates, Old And In Need, Should Be Cared For, Said Direc tor Yeltoh Speaking before the annual conven rfon of the North Carolina Associa don of County Commissioners, heS n Wilmington recently, Nathan H. if el ton, Director of the PuSQc Alli ance Division of the State Boand of I!harities and Public Welfare, said 'we have undertaken a tremendous ask in North Carolina?one that Will teed to be watched from many angles ?that of administering Old Age As listance and Aid to Dependent Chil Iren." "We all believe," Yelton continued, 'that the unfortunate, those in need, ild and without subsistence should be :ared for by the state, county and ederal governments ? however, wg ire not going to instill in the mipd? if future citizens of North Carolina hat they are to be relieved of afl heir responsibility in caring for their 'athers and mothers, brothers and fil ers when they are plenty able to do 10 themselves. It would be a danger pus thing economically, socially and lolitically to believe that everyone >ast 66 years of age automatically, ?egardless of financial status of rev ives, becomes a responsibility of the axpayers of North Carolna. "There remains a great deal of CQ0 usion about the Social Security pro gram. Old Age Assistance is confused laily with Old Age benefits. Old Age ?enefits is entirely another phase of he program, and in this division the federal government gets a small part if the wages of a worker each week ir month and puts it aside. When the vorker becomes 65 years of age, he nay stop work and the government vill pay him back what it took out >f his wages, at the rate of about lalf of what he earned while at vork." Speaking of the cost of adminifter ng the Social Security program is his state, Yelton said: "It has been difficult to determine he exact cost of administering the irogram. We have, however, endeav* >red to keep the cost down to a QUA mum in order that the tax rate would lot be excessive for administrative mrposes?Some of the budgets may >e excessive, while others may be ?H ireiy too small for the adroinistra ion of this program?It is my in tan ion and desire to make the adroinji ration of this pragram as economi al, efficient and sensible as possible, leeping in mind that the taxpayers ire already burdened in many of the tounties of the state, and I wonld not vant to add on cent of unnecessary ixpense to the load already being ear ned by these counties.

"The people of North Carolina* jenerally apeaking, have been very >atient in waiting for the program to start ..... It is my desire to get tut of the minds the Utopia that teems so well grounded in many peo ple applying for Old Age Assistance ind get them down to a common tense viewpoint and or realize, if tossible, that this program is| and nust be based on the abaility of the axpayers of North Carolina, and that t is in every respect a common tense program and not a theoretical ?n.e "The Social Security program if inly in its infancy in North Carolina, uid time alone will tell just what thanges will be needed in the future to solve the problems connected with he administration and distribution >f benefits We who are in iharge of the program solicit and velcome your support and guidance n making the Sodal Security pro* rram function properly in North Carolina, thereby rendering to the leedy the service that it is our duty !o perform as dtizens." ? ^ WHO KNOWS? i 1.
