AAA Program Increases Yields For War Needs The widespread use of winter legumes and greases, use at green manure and cover crops, application of lime and phosphate, and other soilbnilding practices of the agricultural conservation program have helped prepare North Carolina farm for war-time production, according to G. T. Scott, chairman of the Stat* AAA Committee. Pointing to results of the program, Mr. Scott said the state average yield for cotton had been increased from about 250 pounds per acre during the 1928-32 period to more than 360 lbs. the past thres years. Tobacco yields were increased from 686 to 960 lbs. par acre. Corn, oats, wheat and hay yields per sere have been mrressed 15 to 20 percent, and the grazing capacity of pastures also has been improved greettly. "High production yields cannot be overemphasised during this important sgricultoral year," lira. Scott ■and. "Every acre of cropland must produce to its maximum capacity for our farmers to contribute their full ■hare to the nation's war effort," The 400,000 tons at limestone used by North Carolina farmers last year " ' llllll'K—IWD— Mil III HI HM» III THE EFFORTS of Congnumu Herbert Bonner in behalf of the farmers are well-known to well-informed farmers and businessmen. But despite this fact, a steady campaign is being waged by his opponent, MarTin K. Blount, seeking to make the fanners believe that Mr. Blount is a friend of the farmer, sskd Mr. Bonner | is not In recent speeches, Blount | has criticized Bonner for not being on the agriculture committee of the House. He should know that only one Congressman from a state may be on that committee, and there is now no vacancy for North Carolina. And Blount, while claiming to be a friend of the faramr, is past owner of a fertiliser company which has just paid a $900 fine in Federal Court for conspiracy to force the farmers to pay higher prices for fertiliser than they should pay. Now cornea proof from Washington that Bonner has done everything he possibly could do under present conditions for the farmers. From Congressmen who are chairmen of special committees, Mr. Bonner has received endorsements. From Congressmen Sol Bloom of New York and W. C. Tarvsr of Georgia have come statements showing what Bonner did to help the tobacco farmers, and of his success in getting an appropriation set up to develop the beef cattle industry in eastern North Carolina. So time after time, the Washington authorities have shown that the misleading and unfair statements given out about the Congressman, have all emanated from one source, and that from one who only seeks to get the job he has, without regard to any other factor.

The 75-miHimeter gun Is a divisional weapon used by the Artillery as an anti-tank gun. It has been replaced to some extent by the more modern "106", known as the heaviest at divisional weapons. The 75mm gun costs $12,000 and has been converted by our Ordnance into a "blaster" twice as efficient as In the first World War. This gun gets maximum power for minimum weight and cost, and fb« American people are providing the finance through the purchase of War Bonds. If you do your share and invest 10 per cent of your income in War Bonds, adequate supply of this efficient gun can be assured our fighting forces. Buy War Bonds every pay day. U. S.

In my campaign for Solicitor of the Fifth Judicial District, I have not been able to see as many of the people in and around Farmvilie as I wished to. I have had to spend the most of my time in other sections where I was less known. However, please consider this is my personal solicitation of your vote and support. I appeal to my friends in and around Farmville to get as large a vote as possible in order to off set any votes that might not be for me ekewheff. The present Solicitor has held this office sixteen years. Another man is entitled to a chance. Please give me a chance. Your vote and support will be greatly appreciated. W. J.

As proof of the ridiculous statements of a misleading campaign being waged against Herbert Bonner for Congress, comes indisputable evidence from the highest authorities in Washington. Let the voters beware of any effort to the contrary, Herbert Bonner, has always stood for the farmer, and hv living testimony that is reliable, is proved to have done everything for the Fanner's interest that could possibly be done under present conditions. Let no one argue to you that Bonner himself could be on the Agriculture Committee of the House. The fact is, this place is already held by another North Carolina Congressman with service longer even, than Bonner's. The only way, he or any other man could get it, is by seniority in case of a vacancy, and no new man could get it. Now read these letters, and see what Bonner has been doing to help the farmers. One from Congressman Bloom tells of his good work for the Tobacco Farmer. Another from Congressman Tarver recounts the story of other work to develop the beef cattle industry. Many more such letters could be published, showing what he had done for other lines of agriculture, but these should be enough to show how false and misleading, and unfair, some of the statements being made about Bonner are now proved to be.
