Farmers Receive 23
Per Cent More Cash
A 23 per cent increase in the cash
income of North Carolina farmers
during the January-September period
of this year over the same period a
year ago has been noted by crop
statisticians.
In a report of the N. C. State Col
lege extension service, the federal bu
reau of agricultural economics point
ed out that during the total cash
income during the first nine months
of 1937 was $117,389,000.
The first nine months of 1937
brought North Carolina farmers a
cash of $95,786,000.
Through September, 1937, the re
port said, farmers of this State re
ceived $87,685,000 from the sale of
principal crops, $17,699,000 from the
sale of livestock and livestock pro
ducts, and $12,006,000 in government
AAA jjf ?
Not cbmfingrlihr AAA payments,
North Carolina farmers received
$105,384,000 for the same of crops
and - livestock, while in the same per
iod last year they sold $91,996,000
worth of crops and livestock.
This meant a 14 per cent increase
in cash income aside from any AAA
payments received.
It Isn't Christmas
Without Fruit Cake
A good fruit cake adds the finish
ing touches to the holiday season,
said Ruth Current, staee home de
monsthation agent at State College.
After dining on turkey and other
good things to eat, she continued, a
toothsome slice of fruit cake "is the
very hi"g to top off the meal."
In the olden days, she went on,
baking was a ritual during most
every Thanksgiving and Christmas
season . . . and today many a good
housewife still feels th urge to bake
at this time.
Lucky is the farm housewife, Miss
Current stated, for she has right at
most of the ingredients for a
fruit cake: butter, eggs, nuts, dried
fruits.
-The sooner the Christmas cake is
baked, the better it will be, she then
pointed out, for the cake mellows
and becomes more delicious with age.
"Here is a recipe so chock full of
good things it is guaranteed to temp
any one," Miss Current said:
One pound of butter, one pound of
sugar, 12 eggs, one pound of flour.
Cream the butler and sugar, add the
eggs one at a time, then add the
flour.
Other ingredients are: two tea
spoons of baking powder, one tea
spoon of cinnamon, one teaspoon of
cloves, one teaspoon of all spice, one
pound of Sultana raisins, one pound
of candied cherries, one pound of
pineapple, one pound of dates, one
pound of figs, one pound of^ pecans,
and one pound of blanched almonds.
Soak the fruit for several hours
or overnight in a cup of grape juice,
add gradually to batter then seeam
cake for two hours and then bake in
an oven for about an hour.

ers Increased to 3,200
Pounds.
Washington, Nov. 17.?Representa
tive Lindsey C. Warren announced
today that he will appear before the
House agriculture committee tomor
row to urge amendments to the tob
acco control provisions of the pend
ing farm bilL
The bill now provides that the al
lotments of growers shall not be cut
below 2,400 pounds and the princi
pal amendment which Mr. Warren
will offer would increase that limit
to 3,200.
My amendment would make it pos
sible for every grower to grow four
acres, or one barn." said Mr. War
ren. "I suppose to avoid the trouble
we had about the small grower in
the last program before the new pro
gram is started."
Mr. Warren said he had received
support for his proposal from several
other members of the delegation and
expects several of them to accom
pany him to the meeting.
Representative Harold D. Cooley,
who has been piloting the tobacco
provisions, through the committee, of
which he is a member, said that he
would favor the proposal if it would
I not interfere with the program, but
that he wished to confer with officials
of the Department of Agriculture as
to the effect of the amendments be
I fore committing himself.
Present indications are that a farm
1 bill containing the tobacco provisions
without material change will be
reached for consideration on the floor
of both houses some time next week.

Bulwinkle First Tar
Heel to Sign Discharge
Petition; Others May
Follow.
I Washington, Nov. 17.?Represent- ,
ative A. L. Bulwinkle of Gastonia to
day became the first member of the
North Carolina delegation to sign
the petition discharging the rules J
committee from further considers- .
tion of a resolution giving preferen
tial status to the wage and hour bill
which passed the Senate at the last (
session was placed on the clerk's desk
which was placed on the clerk's desk f
yesterday, had 105 of the necessary
218 signatures when the House ad- ,
journed today. i
It is probable that at least one,
and perhaps other members of the
delegation will sign the petition.
However, the petition will probably
get less signatures within the dele
gation than the number who will
vote for the bill on final passage,
?nd some members of the delegation
are expected to oppdB^ the bill in
any form, while othefs are waiting
to see what that form will be.
The North Carolina delegation has
very rarely signed discharge peti
tions in the past, and today's signa
ture was the first Major Bulwinkle
hag ever affixed to such a petition.
The only other discharge petition
which any North Carolinian ever has
signed was for the payment of the
soldier's bonus.

Christmas Seal Sata

The Christmas Seal Sale
Begins Thanksgiving
and Lasts Until Christ
mas.
The seals are very attractive this
year with the town crier ringing
his bell telling the nation the need
of buying Seals in the fight against
tuberculosis
Boys and girls in their 'teens and
young adults are the chief victims
of tuberculosis although we think
youth as the time when the body is
strongest, it is in youth, too, that
bodily enery is unusually spent most
freely.
Adolescent boyB and girls and
young men and women who don't eat
enough nourishing food, who work
and play too long and too hard, and
who rest too little are apt to have
bodies which are not ready to deal
successfully with the germs of tuber
culosis.
Rest is the first and most impor
tant remery in the treatment of this
disease and next to rest of body and
rest of mind, the most important
measure in dealing with tuberculosis
is to building up the body. This de
pends largely upon nourishing food.
Fresh Air and sunshine also play
an important part in the process of
getting well.
77 per cent of the cases of tuber
culosis in Pitt County are negroes,
they are cooks and nurses in our
homes and for their safety and the
safety of our homes need the exam
inations and treatment provided, by
the sale of these seals, under the
direction of Dr. N. Thomas Ennett,
Health Chairman of Pitt County.
Tuberculosis is on the decrease,
we owe this success we have already
won to our present day knowledge of
the disease and application. There
must be no let up in the fight for
it is only by helping to spread this
knowledge and by using it to protect
our own lives and the lives of our
children and our neighbors that we
will ever get the best of this ancient
enemy, so this year double the num
ber of sales you purchased last year
?with a smile..

WHAT ABOUT BUSINESS?
RECESSION STUDIED.
"PUMP-PRIMING AGAIN?
WILT. INDUSTRY REVIVE?
WATCH SOUTH AMERICA,
FOREIGN INTERFERENCE.
GOLD FLOWS ABROAD.
NO DOMESTIC EFFECT.
(Hugo S. Sims, Washington Corres
pondent.)
Congressional problems, budget
balancing and world affairs are on
the sidelines as the President and
his official advisers study business
conditions in the United States. That
the recession of business has been
substantial is well established and
business activity has reached its low
est point since the spring of 1986.
That the. present slump will extend
well into 1938 is also the deliberate
conclusion of able economists of the
Administration.
Whether the Government should
take positive action is the subject
of considerable discussion. Certainly,
the government has a vital interest
in the state of business because its
income depends largely upon the
profits of commerce and industry.
Moreover, the cost of relief also de
pends upon the employment which is
available and this too depends upon
the condition of business in the United
States. The balancing of the budget
is predicted upon a continual flow of
tax collections into the Treasury and
a decreasing expenditure for relief
and this indicates that Mr. Roose
velt's fiscal goal will be impossible
unless some improvement takes place
in the business world.
The Government, as readers well
know, has largely curtailed its
"pump-priming" expenditures and
there are many who believe that this
has been done| too abruptly. Conse
quently there is a growing demand
for increased Government spending
and, surprisingly, some of it comes
from business leaders who have been
insistent heretofore that the first re
quisite of prosperity is a balanced
budget
Efforts to revive private housing
have not met with success and ex
perts are of the opinion that aid must
be had from industry expansion if
construction is to revive a demand
for heavy goods. The public utilities
and the railroads are named among
the industries needing building pro
grams but, immediately, the explana
tion comes that because of Govern
ment restrictions, private capital is
not available for expansion.
Consequently, one may expect a
drive to revise the laws which is
claimed, now discourage the invest
ment of private funds in business.
Certainly, if such a revision can re
move difficulties in the path of pri
vate initiative without nullifying the
broad social reforms of the Admin
istation and the controls necessary to
protect the public it should be at
tempted and present indications are
are that if the Admisistrations are
that if the Administration makes no
such move, the members of Congress
will initiate the action themselves.
Generally, it is conceded that pri
vate industry must initiate a cam
paign of industrial construction or
the Government will be forced to re
sume spending on a large scale for
relief, housing, public buildings and
such activities. Graphs, charts and
other data showing the state of in
dustry and employment indicate no
early improvement unless s me difi
nite action is undertaken. That the
President is being strongly advised
by some of his official family to
keep up a program of Federal spend
ing is established but that the Chief
Executive is determined to balance
the budget inclines one to the belief
that, if possible Mr. Roosevelt would
perfer to see the initiative come
from private sources, Generally, if
it is agreed that the failure of pri
vate construction to take over the
recovery that the recovery load laid (
down when the Government recessed
its activities is responsible for the
present recession, and that the trend
will continue downward unless spend
ing is started on a large scale again.
Various suggestions have been
made, including a proposal that the
collections under the Social Secur
ity Act be used for expenditures in
the housing field. This it is said,
would revive the heavy industries and
stimulate business generally. No new
taxation would be required at this
time but if the Social Security funds
are used, the Government will be
obligated to repay the money in the
future. Another plan proposed in
some quarters is the mechanisation
of the Army which would involve a
huge sum. This will meet with' con
siderable oposltUm, however and ser
ious consideration of huge spending
for this purpose is doubtful.

Report Prom The
Pitt County Health
Department
Gentlemen:
The major activities of the Pitt
County Health Department for the
month of October were: School health
work; venereal disease clinics; ma
ternal and infant welfare work; and
hotel, restaurant, and cafe inspec
tions.
The statistics for contageoug dis
ease for October are as follows: dip
htheria, 12 cases; tuberculosis, 5
cases; measles, 1 case; scarlet fever,
1 case; whooping cough, 1 case; and
no small pox or typhoid fever.
The school health work is moving
along satisfactorily, the principals
and teachers are cooperating with
the Health Department in a very fine
way.
On Tuesday, November 9th, ven
eral clinic was organized at Bethel
This clinic is conducted by the Bethel
physicians and their service is on a
voluntary basis. The Haalth Depart
ment furnishes the nursing service
and the drugs; the patients, who are
able, pay 25c per treatment; the
money thus received is used to aid
in the purchase of the drugs. Our
next objective in the veneral disease
campaign is to work out a plan of a
clinic in Ayden.
The Maternal and Infant Welfare
clinics and the Well Baby Clinic are
growing, but we still feel that we
are not reaching anything like the
number of expectant mothers we
should reach.
The State, Monthly Orthopedic
Clinic, helfi every first Friday in the
offices of the Health Department,
continues to reach a large number of
cripples.
The work in sanitation is being
carried on energetically with special
attention in the p&Bt month having
been given to hotel, restaurant, and
cafe inspections.
One item of special interest from
the standpoint of health education
was the address of Dr. P. P. Mc
Cain, Superintendent of the State
Sanatorium, on "Tuberculosis Con
trol," November 4th, at the Green
ville Woman's Club and under the
auspices of the Club. This meeting
was of special significance for the
reason that it was sponsored by a
lay organization, for, as you know,
the control of tuberculosis is not iso
much a medical problem as it is a
matter of lay education.
It would be a fine thing if the
Parent-Teachers Association and the
other clubs of the county would fol
low the example set by the Green
ville Woman's Club. In addition to
tuberculosis, other public health prob
lems of universal appeal are syphilis
cancer, heart disease, pellagra, and
malaria. Each of these diseases is of
such importance as to justify a mass
meeting in each community of the
county. The Health Officer offers
his full corporation in the arrange
ment of such meetings. Obvioudy,
public health work can advance only
as health information is brought to
the public.
Respectfully submitted,
N. THOMAS ENNETT, M. D.
Health Officer.
