■fp^ ' / THURSDAY, JULY 2nd, 1942. THE NEWS-JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C. , ■ f --I ■ f'-W-- 'ii' iif .fe Farmers Receive Loans On .Soyliean Crop I • - - - - North Carolina farmers who grew soybeans this year as part of the “Food ior Freedom” program will be eligible for federal loans on the soy beans stored in appro^^ed bins on ffafms, according to E. Y. Floyd, AAA ' executive assistant, at State College. Soybeans of any class grading No. 3 or better with respect to factors other than moisture content, and hav ing a moisture content not above 14 per cent and which were produced in 1942 will be eligible for loans, Floyd said. Soybeans grading weevily, or which, are musty, sour, heating, or have ^y objectionable foreign odor, will not be eligible. Floyd said the basic loan rate for North Carolina No. 1 and No. 2 soy beans will be $1.55 per bushel for medium oil content soybeans of Class I (yellow) and Class II—green. The rate for the same classes having a high oil content will be $1.65 per bushel. All yellow and green soy beans produced in this state wiU be considered as having medium oil con tent unless it is determined on the basis of representative samples that beans produced in any county have an oil content of 17 1-2 per cent or more. In this case, he said, all soybeans grown in that county will be con sidered-'Ss having a high oil content. All determinations of oil content will be made on a 10 per cent moisture basis. Soybeans of Class III (brown), Cl^s IV (black), and Class V (mixed) will have a loan value of $1.55 per bushel for high oii content, and $1.45 for low oil content. Soy beans of any class grading No. 3 and having not more than 14 per cent moisture, will be discounted three cents per bushel below the basic loan rate for soybeans grading.No. 1 and No. 2. The loan rate, Floyd said, includes a storage allowance of five cents per bushel which may be earned by the producer. The loans will bear inter est at three per cent, and will be available through March 31, 1943. All loans mature on demand, but not later than June 30, 1943. U Minute SeruMHi” DEBTS (By Rev. Karl O. Bayer) .CiRANDMOTHER’S SAMPLER ^The old road seems to wind through spring. The golden-bells to tinkle faintly. As stitch by stitch her sampler grows. And edch prim figure follows quaint ly. She makes the trees so stiff and tall They almost screen the house that dreams Behind its little picket fence Wth swinging gate where “Welcome” 0 gleams. l *' If I could stitch with needles thin As steel of silver summer rain And wind my thread of larkspur blue Or pink of clover in new grain. Fd make a sampler in each heart. Such poignant beauty I would give ) All sorrow would be crowded out And only loveliness could live. —^Twila Clark. — ^ WORRIED The nearness of the tobacco har vesting season combined with the shortage of farm labor has Harnett county farmers worried, reports T. D. O’Quinn, assistant farm agent. Text: Romans i:14. “I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the bar barians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.” I O. U.s are a common part of our working language. What man of us does not recognize one when we see one? In one form or another they haunt our days and bring on bad dreams at night. These I. O. U.s run the whole length of monetary debts from the grocery bill to the gambler^s “honest debts!” Properly inscribed on a piece of paper they become legal debts, collectible through lawful processes with a certain per cent set aside for the lawyer. But our writer of the text has another thought in mind. He writes from the vantage point of an eternal view. He is thinking of the whole bundle of habits, hopes, desires, dreams, brackground, intellectual at tainments, and all the countless other forces that have made him what he is at the moment. In wonder and humility of spirit he cries out “I am a debtor.” It is a great day in the life of any man when he reaches that point of growth wherein he can say, “I am a debtor. Everything that I have has been given.” No character is quite so uniively as that person who struts about say ing, “I am a self-made man.” There is something about him that is repug nant. He has forgotten, for example, that he would not have been bom “But by mother’s bitter, wailing pain; .... with tears of bloo^, and sweat of agony. He has forgotten the heri tage of strong body and capable mind that was given. He has forgotten the years of learning the three Rs that were given. He has forgotten the movement of the stars, the swing of the planets, the rythym of the sea sons, the gentle rains, the warm, good earth that fed him and kept him. He has forgotten the dependable goodness of God that over-arched his days and nights. Here is a man who says, “I sure raised good crops this year.” One is tempted to use the expressive words of our modern slang and shout “How does he get that way?” Actually that faijmer furnished about one (1) per cent of the energy necessary to convert a seed into the full-grown corn. One per cent, mind you. All the rest was given, the earth, the rains, the bright sunshine. Or here is a man behind the wheel of a block- long car who says, in superior tone, “My oil wells are really paying off. Wasnt I smart?” He forgot the ac cident of birth that put him near those wells; he forget the coimtless eons of time that nature was at work building those oil supplies deep in the earth. He forgot the men who toiled to bring it to the surface. He forgot how to say, “I am a debtor.” ea, we are all of us debtors. For clean bodies, for good minds, for dreams and prayers, that attended our way, for the goodness of God who does not forsake his own, we are debtors. ^Catcher Dickey in Gehrig Film , Two great Yankee stars, Lou Gehrig, portrayed by Gary Cooper, and Bill Dickey as himself, are in uniform to play ball for Samuel Goldwyn’s “The Pride of the Yankees,” the film based on the life of Gehrig. The famous first sacker and the present catcher for the New York Yankees were not only teammates, but best pals, and their friendship is dramatized in tl'e picture. Sam Wood directs, and Teresa V.’ i= featured as Mrs. Gehrig. .

G. W. RROWN, M. D. A NOTE OF THANKS I want to thank again the people of Hoke County for the support they gave nie in my efforts to register a protest against the ABC Liquor System of North Carolina in the Democratic Primary > Saturday. We lost the election, hut the opportunity to work and vote against this evil is still with us. With renewed comage and hope let us continue to work to push this evil farther from pur people. Now that the election is over, there are hut two state ments that I care to clear up. In my article last week I stated that in three of the last four Legislatures Hoke County’s vote had gone in defense of the ABC system. That is incorrect. Twice during the last eight years Mr. E. B. McNeill has repre sented Hoke County in the Legislatme, and both times, ac cording to the recordj he voted always against tl»e legaliza tion of alcoholic beverages. The statement of the opposition about my taxes is also incorrect. The only taxable property I have in town or county is my automobile. I paid an automobile tax to the town of Raeford in 1940,1941, and 1942. That left a property tax of $2.87, a street tax of $1.00, and a poll tax of $1.00. This was the total of the unpaid taxes to both town and county, and I did not know that this balance was unpaid. E. C. CRAWFORD NOTICE OUR STORE WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL 10:00 P.
