OUR 40TH 0-DAY
Time for the opening of the Farmville
Tobacco Market, for O-Day in
the Bright Leaf Brit. A day that
will mark the beginning of FannviUe*8
fortieth season as a tobacco
marketing town.
Eaeh of the past and present warehouse
firm* of the Farmville tobacco
market has been an important factor
in its phenominal growth during these
40 yean; contributing each in its own
way to the general progress and development
of the mart with its Veteran
and expert warehousemen and able
staff of asistants, all well known to
farmers of Eastern Carolina, being
connected with the market for many
years and having personally helped
to win the recognition it now enjoy*,
of excelling as a live, steady and dependable
market.
T&e same spirit of goodwill and
mutual interest between the entire
warehouse forces, buyers and growers,
which has obtained since the
establishment of the market here,
will doubtless prevail again during
this, its 40th season, and for many
more to come
This market has grown steadily
from the very first season in 1904,
and instead of two small houses,
capable of handling only a few thousand
pounds, the modern tobacco town
of Farmville is now a model of compactness,
convenience and efficiency,
brought into a real existence 28 years
ago when the present group of gigaastructures
rose out of the
of the old frame buildings. The
of these huge houses,
and as Veil equipped as
the State, is ample and sufcare

functions the laiis of the cooperative
and that the sacceai
at the New Deal depended ot
the loyalty and cooperation of those
sitting in far a hand with the Mew

The tobacco signnp campaign for
controlled production, was carried en
ity in achievement and soceass were
the most promising signs observed in
farming sections by leaders for
generations. And the strict observance
ot these agreements by our
farmers was sufficient proof that
ithsjr had learned that they may
"plant all they dun please/' bat they
may also expect low prices to obtain
in such event. "
THE CHALLENGE OF
PEACE
How the past year has sped by! It
is hard to believe that it is harvtat
time again . . . another harvest season
with oar country still at war.
Bat oat; af the shadow of sacrifice
and sorrow, out of the storm of strife,"
comes the promise of Victory, and
"sooner, perhaps, than we think," to
quote Churchill.
All over the civilised world, in
great cities, in the bombed, ruined
towns otf England, France, Italy, In
jungle chapels, free people are craning
together, are assembling to pray
for Victory and Peace.
And with these prayers each is
taking a responsible part in a changing
world; perhaps rising from his
knees to take op arms again in battle;
perhaps to fill a niche in some
war essential production plant, perhaps
proudly putting a percentage of
(his salary into War Bonds. There
is a whole list of wartime duties to be
performed. All of this we are gladly
doing because we have an important
goal in view, a rapid Allied victory
and a just peace.
Peace —that means they will be
coming back from somewhere in Europe,
Asia and the Sooth Pacific, it
means a better world . . . free from
war, tyranny and want. As oar leaderg
meet around the peace table to
discuss the peace that is to come, we
wonder what our part *ill be m this
new world.
Peace in a new world! It is a great
challenge. Our eyes light up and our
hearts beat high at the very thought
We have met the challenge of war ia
a way that has Startled the world and
brought consternation to the teemy.
God giant that we may have the will,
the strength and the endurance to
meet the challenge of the Peace that
is- to come. ,

is regarded as a remarkable musician
in its summer habitat. The sonf is
sweet, varied and pure in tone, but
is not especially strong. It arrives
early in April and takes about a
month to complete migration. It has
a reddish brown tail, much brighter
than the back and head, which are
also brown. Its breast is quite
heavily spotted with Mack. lie manner
