First Teiiaxif Purchase
Farmer Pays Up
Loan For 1940
Duncan L. Thomas, a colored farm
er of Shaniwn, route 1, was first
of Hoke county’s thirteen tenant pur
chase farmers to pay up for the year
1940, Last Saturday, October 12,
Duncan, came into the local Farm
Security Administration office and
finished repaying the money he bor
rowed to run his 1940 crop on,
brought in his tax and insurance
receipts, and made-Jhe year’s pay
ment on the farm he is. buying
through the Bankhead-Jones Farm
Act. Under this act a qualified per
son may buy a farm and pay for it
at the rate of 4.326 per cent of the
total loan each year over a forty
year period. ’ The purchaser must
live on his farm and is not allowed
to have a tenant as each farm is
selected to meet the family needs' of
that particular buyer. In order to
operate his farm the purchaser may
borrow funds at the rate of 5 per
cent. This loan is to be repaid at the
end of the crop year.
In order to cut down the amount
which it may be necessary to borrow
each year a term and home plan is
made for each borrower. Every one
is urged to plant enough wheat to
supply 5 bushels for each member of
his family, make at least a hundred
pounds of meat and lard for each
one, plant a tenth of an acre in gar
den for each and can at least-60-70
quarts of fruits and vegetables for
each family member. In addition to
this each individual needs about 5
bushels of potatoes and four gallons
of syrup or honey. A cow and flock
of chickens are very important pro
ductive units on any FSA farm and
the farm should provide ‘plenty feed
for these workers as well as for the
other livestock.

POOLE’S MEDLEY
By D. SCOTT POOLE
You may be eating what, and all
you want now, but ere long the gov
ernment will likely put you on a
dite”—too diet.
America has no great surplus of
food crops now, and Europe and As
ia both showing deficiencies in some
thing to eat.
After we had broken all our cups
during the Civil War, we drank from
small gourds. Gourds wete used for
drinking water for many years after
the war. Everybody said water was
sweeter from a gourd than from any
other vessel.

Every I boy and girl, woman and
man learned to “plait” straw for
hats. Wiregrass made a pretty good
looking hat, too. Mats were made of
shucks. “Who cares for the home-
spun dresses Southern ladies wear.”
The girls were as good looking back
then as they have been since.
Cutting small grain was hard worl:.
The year I was 18 I cut 40 acres of
wheat, rye and oats. I averaged
almost 4 acres a day; however, grain
was not as heavy a growth as you
see now.
both, the sandhills is the best part of
the country. Streams and wells,
pumps and all are failing both in
the east, south, and west and north—
all around, but there is no lack of
water in this section. Sandhill
streams are low. Drowning creek is
as low as we have ever seen it, but
no wells or pumps are failing, so far
as we have heard.
Alfred Scales and Madison Leach
were running for Congress. They
travelled together in a buggy ov^r the
district, and they stopped one night
at a farmhouse, and both planned to
win that farmer’s vote. Leach said
he arose early, took a bucket
and ran down the hill to get a
bucket of water. His path lay by
the cow lot, and as he passed the
lot he heard a woman say: “You
may turn him loose now, Alfred.
Scales was holding the calves off
while the farmer’s wife milked the
cows, and it was not quite daylight.
Leach lost that vote.

There is a sect of religionists who
call themselv^ “Jehovah’s Witness
es,” who do not respect ‘Old Glory,’
nor db they appreciate the protection
of our “glorious government/ as some
refer to the government of the United
States. 1J believe in religious and
political freedom, but I desire religioA

Cop: “Who was driving when you
hit that car?”
Stupid: “Nobody. We were all in
the backseat.”
That little black dog with chin
whiskers is not a thing of beauty,
and with a number of other dogs,
I do not see how the cars miss him.
The United States government nev
er waged a war of aggression. Texas
was annexed to the United States
before the Mexican war, and that
looks more like we were after more
territory, for the war was because of
the annexation of Texas the Mexicans
turned highwaymen, it appeared.
One day a fine young man was
shot down hear Red Springs by the
Lowery Gang. The young men in
that section had organized to capture
the gang, and when this murder had
been committed, notice was sent out
by runners, and one of the “hunters”
lived where Buies station is now,
and he received notice to meet the
‘'hunters” at PhiladelphUs, so he
picked up his double-barrel and start
ed up the road to the church, and he
met one of the Lowery gang about
half a mile from Philadelphus. They
were acquainted, and exchanged sal
utations and passed on.
It is generally believed by non-
cqmbatant nations that the Germans
will be defeated in the present war.
If the British are victorious it will
be through the aid given by the
United States. It is believed by most
intelligent people that Hitler and
Mussolini have undertaken to sub
jugate the whole world.
I was opposed to the United States
entering into the World War in 1917

enter the war, and since that date I
have offered no objection. However,
I still believe in letting our ene

When a man got in wrong with the
Lowery gang he had to leave the
country—all except Donahue Mc
Queen. He stayed until he died a
natural death.
Singing and writing is getting to

Philadelpbus, Red Springs, Center,
Maxton and Antioch sing together at

It is a fact, American aviators are
in the defense lines in Britain. They
volunteered, and are there on their
own, all right but I see no justifi
cation of their entering into that fray
on behalf of the United States, for
only Congress can declare war in
our country.
There is a reason for Japan not
declaring war against China. They
have no excuse for fighting China—
so they cannot declare war without
a cause—and that they haven’t. The
real reason for waging war against
China is China has land the Japs
want to cultivate.

The Japanese claimed for a while
at first they were stamping out Com
munism. It would have taken Com-
miuiism a long time to have done
China as much damage as has the
Japanese armies.
