day Night, 10 o'Clock;
Best Reports of Cam
paign Anticipated
From All Workers?
Work Done This Week
May Be The Deciding
Factor In Race
Ten o'clock Saturday night That
ia the final hour of the big first per
iod in the Farmvilie Enterprise ex
pansion campaign. Forty-eight more
circles of the hour hand and the
largest votes of the campaign will be
gone forever. With the close of the
office Saturday night, goes the last
chance to secure top votes on sub
scriptions.
Workers in the campaign, and as- ,
pecially those who have their eyes
set on the FIVE HUNDRED DOL- '
LARS, are urged to secure every j
possible subscription before the first
period closes Saturday. What candi- j
dates do between now and Saturday
night may be just what they need to ;
"cinch" the grand prize.
The last of the big votes Saturday ^
night will undoubtedly be a deciding ^
factor in determining the final win
ners. After Saturday, votes on sub
scriptions will count less, hence a ^
commanding lead at the start of the
second period will be hard to over
come.
5
A lot of hard work and persever-1,
ance in the face of obstacles and a ,
few long term subscriptions now is
to go a long way to helping the con- i
testant to win the lead in the race.
Persons contemplating subscribing
or who have promised some worker
in the\eampaign a subscription "lat
er" should give it now while it still 7
counts the most votes. .
Hanf Week To Win.
Every candidate should make a
supreme effort to secure every- pos
sible subscription between now and
Saturday Si^festftve candidates will '
endeavor4b a hmd, no mat
ter how the BIG reduc- '
tdon in credffi?~~^be crucial test of 2
the campaign is at hand. If ever
you intend to do big things toward
winning the FIRST GRAND PRIZE, j
do it now instead of being content
with second, third, or fourth place. 1
Make up your mind that by this
time next week you will be leading
the list Determination goes a long (
way in helping you gain your end. 1
The Enterprise would like to reward (
every one of its workers with a big '
prize, but to do that would eliminate ^
competition. Nothing but the best 7
results will come from honest, con- 1
sistent efforts, and the candidate who *
goes out and covers the territory ^
thoroughly is the candidate that is '
going to have the best record.
Second Payment Plan.
A number of people who have al- '
ready subscribed for only one year 1
during the early part of the cam- ^
paign have asked how they might ]
help their favorite candidate to the *
full limit '
If you subscribe again before *
October 9th in a case where a one- '
t
year subscription has been given
and it is desired to extend it to an- *
other year, a "second payment" of 1
$1.50 will count for twenty thous- 7
and votes.
Or should it be desired to extend ;
a one-year subscription to a five-year 1
subscription, the maximum amount,
to assist your favorite to the top, '
then such an order would count 140,
000 votes. '
Start Gathering Promises
Another paramount thought for
the contestant is?start gathering
those promises this week. Now is
the timg for every promise to be
fulfilled;- there is no excuse for
a friend's word is his bond. Now?
this week?is the time for him to
come to your aid.
Lead Hard To Figure.
As a matter of fact the race for
the honors is so dose it required
some dose figuring to determine the
positions in this week's standing.
Bach of those workers has an excel
lent chance to win top prise and a
great deal will depend upon the work
done between now and the close of
th4 first period Saturday night Re
member that after this week the big
vote offer is gone forever and that
right now is the time for you to get
out and get the biggest vote total
that is to be had?it is up to you
to win^
STANDING OF CONTESTANTS
Contestants in The Enterprise cir
culation drive are redoubling their
efforts daring the last few hours of
the Big Vote Period which doses
Saturday night at ten o'dock. Real
ising the importance of getting every
possible subscription before the votes
decrease Saturday night, they are
.. spending every possible moment se
curing subscriptions and collecting
promises.

Local Man Elected Employee Repre
sentative of Standard Oil Workers
As a result of a recent secret ballot
lection held by wage-earners of
tandand (Ml Co. of N. J., Mr. R. J.
/ainwright, of Farmville, has been
lected to act as representative of
le employees in dealing with the
tanagement of the company.
Other Board members and employee
spresentatives shown in photo above
iclude, (left to right) R. J. Wain
Tight, Vice-Chainnan, Farmville; E.
, Johnson, Wilmington; L. R.
leintz, Secretar-Treasurer, Charlotte;
.. F. Arnold, Chairman, Lincolnton;
ad J. H. Alexander, Greensboro.
Meeting with members of the
tanagement of the Company recently,
te representatives presented cre
Bntiais showing that they represent
i 100 per cent of the employees
artidpating in the election and ap
roxLmately 90 per cent of the total
amber of industrial employees in
is State. After which a working
greement was entered into between
the Organization and the Company,
outlining working hours, rates of
pay, as well as a continuation of the
many company plans providing for
sickness and accident benefits, vaca
tions with pay, thrift fund plan
whereby the company contributes over
50c for each dollar put into the plan
by employees. The agreement also
provides for payment of time and
one-half for hours worked in excess
of forty hours per week, as well as
double time for Sundays and Holi
days worked.
Quarterly meetings between the
employee representatives and mem
bra of the management will be held
to afford the employee representa
tives an opportunity to bring before
the Management any matters of a
grievance nature concerning working
hours, rates of pay or working condi
tions.
The Company has mantained for
approximately twenty years prior to
the Wagner Labor Relations Act, an
Industrial Representation Plan which
afforded employees the opportunity
for negotiations direct with the man
agement on any matters affecting
their work and relations with the
company. During this decade the
company has maintained two guiding
principles in dealing with its em
ployees?first, fair treatment and fair
working conditions, and Becond, the
payment of as high wages as those
paid by other employers in the same
localities.
Since the validity of the Wagner
Act, it became necessary that the
Company abandon the Company Rep
resentation Plan, and as a result the
employees have organized and will
deal direct with the company through
its Organization.
Mr. C. M. Byers, Division Manager
of the Company at Char^tce, states
that the very liberal labor stand of
the Company pays dividends in work
era' loyalty and bars strife often ex
perienced in many companies.

Reveals Plans Far
1938 Soil Program
The 1938 agricultural conservation
program is aimed directly at soil con
servation, with as much cash-crop
control as is possible under provisions
of the AAA as it now stands.
?
Farmers complying with the pro
gram will need to carry out half
again as many soil-building practices
as in 1937, said E. Y. Floyd, of State
College, in announcing the program
for next year. <?
But these practices will be those
which any farmer interested in con
serving his soil will be glad to follow,
he added.
A greater effort will be made to
regulate the acreage of soil-depleting
erops by providing for heavier de
ductions from the payments of grow
ers who exceed their "soil-depleting
goals," Floyd stated.
If growers desire a greater degree
of production control, he continued,
it will have to be secured through
legislation in addition to the present
agricultural conservation act.
In the 1938 program, he went on,
goals will be set up for the optimum
acreages of soil-depleting crops and
soil- building crops and practices for
each farm.
* * 1 v j? 111 T
uoais ior aepieung crops wiu oe
the acreage which would usually be
required to supply the demand at a
price fair to both the producer and
the consumer. The national and
State goals will be subdivided into
county and individual farm goals.
Soil-building goals will include the
crops and practices needed to restore
and maintain the soil resources of
the land.
Separate goals will be prescribed
for cotton, tobacco, peanuts and po
tatoes if a majority of the potato
growers /vote to have this crop includ
ed. There will also be goals for gen
eral depleting crops.
Provisions for commercial vegeta
bles, commercial orchards, and non
crop pasture land will be about the
same as in 1937.
The program will be administered
through state, county and community
committees composed of farmers,
with supervision of an advisory na
ture given by AAA and extension
service workers.
At the beginning of the crop year,
the maximum amount of payment a
grower will be able to earn will be
calculated. Attainment of the soil-de
pleting and the soil-building goals
for his farm will then be set as con
ditions for the full payment of that
amount
In determining the soil-depleting
goal for a farm, the committeemen
will consider the acreage of crops
usually grown, acreage of food and
feed crops needed for home use, good
soil management tillable acreage on
the farm, type of soil, topography,
production facilities, and crop rota
tions.
The soil-building goals will be set
up according to the needs of the
farm for good soil management
through terracing, use of fertilizer,
legume crops, and other conserva
tion practices.
The commiitteemen and farmers
would discuss and agree upon the
practices needed. / farmer would
not be required to ca Ty out practices
not needed on his faun. '
Small farms of the subsistence
type would have goals for soil-de
pleting crops established at the
farm's usual acreage of such crops
which are primarily needed for food
and feed on the farm..
Payments for performance will be
divided among the producers on a
farm on the same general basis that
proceeds of the crops are divided.
While this is the set-up for the
19S8 program, Floyd pointed out, it
is still dependent upon appropriations
from Congress and possible future
legislation.

Poundage and Avexage
of Mcmday Set New
H i g h; Above Three
jjdillions Paid for Leaf
During Current Season
More than three million dollars
have been paid to growers selling
their tobacco on the Farmville market
for thirteen and a half million pounds
of the weed, sold here since the car
rent season opened on August 26.
With the appearance of good quali
ty leaf this week, prices began soar
ing again on Monday, when 832*498
pounds were sold for $278,665.29, at
an average of $33.47, establishing
another record for poundage sold in
one day and for average, the latter
being surpassed only by the "war
prices" of 1919. Farmers were elated
and went home to speed the grading
of the remainder of their crop for
immediate marketing.
Strong competitive bidding has con
tinued since and prioes are holding
up well with the average of $31.66
reported for this week through Wed
nesday for 1,662,180 pounds, reach
ing the peak for any three days aver
age in years.
Up to Thursday, the figures for
which are unavailable as we go to
press, the local market has sold 18,
533,805 pounds for $3,236,468.10, at
an average of $23.91.
Comparative figures show that
sales of this season are two million
pounds above those of the 1986 sea
son, with farmers receiving more
than Bix hundred thousand dollars
for their offerings than for the cor
responding period last fall.
The general average continues to
climb in spite of the fact that there
is a much larger crop than last year,
evidencing the reports of the farmers
that they had housed the* best crop
of years.
Warehousemen report more custo
mers from a distance have been seen
on the floors here than ever before,
farmers, representing every tobacco
growing county in the Bright Leaf
Belt, having sold here during the
current season.
