Fhnners contihue to appear satisfied and there is a scarcity of tag turning on the Farmville market. Markets throughout the Belt have reported a general slowing up of marketing during the past week, in dicating that farmers are taking ad vantage of the continued fair weather to pick cotton and harveet their hay crop Farm labor is showing the effect of the defease program and farm hands are much in demand. Farmers Urged ' To Hold Cotton Expected Increase in Price win Help Offset Increased Prices for lldngs You Have to Buy. The trend of prices so far in World War II has closely followed the pat tern of World War I, John T. Thorns of Farmville, president of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association, said here today upon, his return from the September board meeting at which arrangements were completed for placing the facilities of the co-operative at the disposal of farmers who want to hold their cot ton for higher prices. ? "The big jump m prices in the last war," Mr. Thome said, "did not come until after the wtir was well under way. Hostilities broke out on July 28,1914 but we find that even in late 1915 the price of cotton was only about 11 cents. From 1915. until the Armistice in 1918, however, the price increased by 250 per cent to reach 29 cento a pound. It "kept right on go ing up to a high of 40 cento by m- " . Cotton and other farm products, however, ware net the only things to advance in price, Mr. Thome point ed oak "A pair of shoes," he idt "tkt cost 52^0 in 1915 cost $4.00 by 1918. Overalls Oust cost 75 cento in 1915 cost $1.57 in 1918. A cultivator which cost $5-00 is 1915 cost $10.00 in 1918. Nitrate of soda that eost $48.00 in 1915 cost $94.00 in 1918." Mr. Theme called upon fanners to consider the position they wiB find themselves in if they sell their cottor on today's market and then have tc buy seed, fertiliser and other fanr supplies that go into the producboi ?f & new eron at the higher pneai thtf h.

It is well known; the sociologist continued, that fre qnent contact between the tenant ind landlord is necessary if thefarfr is to be organised and operated effi ciently. Another cause of poor relation ships is the general abeerfce of defi nite rental arrangements. In a large majority of cases, the arrangement are oral rather than written, which gives ample opportunity for mis understanding. between the landlord and "the tenant. ^ The present rental arrangements do not include any definite provision with respect to the details of organi sation and operation of Hie ftaut On the contrary, Dr. Hamilton pointed out, they merely stipulate in general the types of crops which shall be grown and the division of the re ceipts that will be made. Wi re spect to minor details, the arrange ments are particularly defective. Nor do the rental arrangements provide for the production of crops and livestock products for borne and farm use. This defect is of major significance, especially in low income areas such as Caswell County. FARMYILLE SCHOOL MAY HAVE TWO CHORAL GROUPS f . Superintendent J. H.
