Farmers will vote for or against
a 5-cent levy on each ton of feed
and fertilizer, this 5 cents to be
used to finance agricultural re
search in the state.
Williams stated;
Research is Key
"Improved technology or know
how through research is the key
to developing the abundance of val
uable resources that we have
throughout North Carolina. Re
search in agriculture has already
made many major contributions to
ward balancing our farm economy
and increasing the farmer's income.
"The number of problems con
fronting the farmer today are
much greater than ever before.
This is only a natural and expected
occurrence as agriculture becomes
more highly mechanized. The
nickel contribution on each ton of
feed and fertilizer if voted on fav
orably will be the farmer's effort
to help himself get some of the an
swers to the questions that he is
confronted with daily.

County Nears v
Bond Drive Goal
Sincc the beginning of the de
fense bond drive Sept. 3. $77,849.25
worth of series E, F and G bonds
have been purchased by individuals
in Carteret county, Victor Wicki
zer, the county chairman, announc
ed today.
The drive will continue through
Nov. 13, Wickizer said, by which
time it is hoped the county quota
will be exceeded. The county E,
F and G quota is $85,000.00 and
91.5 per cent of the goal has been
reached in six weeks of the ten
weeks' drive.
Wickizer stated that "the pur
chaser of a defense bond does more
than merely make an investment,
important though that may be. He
is helping in a very real way to
fight inflation, to aid his country
in building its military strength,
to maintain economic stability ?
in fact, he is purchasing a share in
the future of America."
In pointing out the principal
purposes of the defense bond drive,
Wickizer said "they arc to main
tain and increase tke wide distribu
tion of the public debt among as
many of the American people >?
possible, to discourage inflation
ary spending at a time when in
flationary pressures arising out of
the defense program are strong,
and to encourage the continued
practice of thrift and 'savings
among the American people."

Rent Director
Explains Ruling
Under New Law
The federal rent eontrol law pro- |
vides that all rental accomodations ,
in four eounties in the Camp Le
jeune-Chery Point area must be
registered at the area rent office.
Units which already are under
rent control need NOT be register
ed again, as maximum legal rentals
have already been established, sta
ted John Mason, Morehead City
rent director, today.
However, rental units which up
until now have not been under
rent control must be registered :
with the Rent Office not later than j
Nov. 14. Units which are now be
ing brought under control include
new construction, apartments
which resulted from conversion,
hotels, motels, trailer camps, rooms
in rooming houses and rooms in
private homes. This means that
with certain exceptions such as
farm tenant housing all rental
dwelling accomodations in the area
arc subject to rent control.
Rental units in Carteret county
should be registered at the rent
office in Morehead City, and units
in Jones and Craven counties at
New Bern. Jones county has never
before had federal rent control and
all rental dwelling units there will
be registered for the first time.
Although the deadline for regis
tering is Nov. 1. rent control offi
cials have urged that all units be
regijftercd at the earliest moment.
Registration forms are available at
the appropriate rent office.
Rent control personnel will as
sist landlords in filling out the
forms at the office, or they may
be filled out later and mailed to
the rent office. Three types of
forms are used. One covers apart
ments and houses. Another is for
rooming houses, motor courts, trai
ler camps, rooms rented in the
landlord's own home and similar
accommodations. The third is for
hotels.
In registering property coming
under rent control on Oct. 15, 1950,
a fandlord must show the rental
charged on July 1, 1950, the base
rental date for the Lejeune-Cherry
Point area. Generally, the maxi
mum rent for such accommodations
will be the rent in effect on July
a year ago.
However, if a landlord of housing
