© NEWS-WEEK ON EVE OF BATTLE Max Schmeling, former world’s heavyweight champion, trains for match with Joe Louis in New Vork this week. 3,000,000 War Vets Receive Bonds; Repetition Os 1931 Splurge Unlikely Exchange of Government Checks For Bonds to be Fairly Well Com pleted by End of Week, Postal Officials Think Few Thousand Errors Reported. With a few hitches, the govern ment’s bonus distributing machin ery Monday dropped “baby” bonds into the waiting hands of about three million war veterans. This done, the treasury and post office departments made ready for the next step to cash all bonds turned in for payment. Secretary MorgenthaU told re porters at his press conference there were “bound to be” some errors in the bonus shipments, with three shifts of emergency workers labor ing at top speed, but added he did not believe thq number was large. The postoffice department was reported to have sent out a list of 15,000 bonds which were shipped by mistake. Postmasters were in structed not to certify those for pay ment. , In a few cases, it was said, ship ments were stopped because the packets had bgen improperly ad dressed of because packets contain ed the wrong number of bonds. Some cases were reported, too, in which veterans, fearing that their original applications had been lost,, had sent duplicates to the veterans administration. To Speed Cash Payments Postal officials said veterans prob ably would begin receiving gov ernment checks in exchange for their bonds on Wednesday and that these payments would be fairly well completed by the end of the week. Although about $1,650,000,000 Worth of bonds have been started to the veterans, officials said some probably would hold their bonds for a time, to draw interest at 3 per cent a year. The checks will be sent out in a separate mailing from 248 paying postoffices to those veterans who return their bonds to their local postoffices and have them certified by workers. Most veterans redeuved small checks, each for less than SSO, in their packets today. With his allot ment of bonds—each worth $50 —the veteran was sent a check to make up the difference between the high est SSO unit and the total due him on his adjusted Service certificate. Veterans in some cities worried today over reports that bonus pack ets had been ordered held up and returned to treasury offices. The veterans administration here said these orders did not stop shipments to veterans entitled to the bonus. Most of the “stop” orders were is sued in cases where veterans had been reported dead since their ap plication, had been declared incom petent, or where other irregulari ties had cropped up. Probate judges in some cities have sent to postmasters lists of veter ans declared incompetent, with in structions that bonus packets should not b e delivered to them. Successful People Save Money!

Plan to Come We Are Expecting Ton Roxboro Furniture Co. r THURSDAY, JUNE 18TH, 1936 FARMS NEED MORE FEED AND CATTLE Some Crops Need To Be Cut, But Many Need Increase, i North Carolina farmers Who have studied agricultural conditions in the State believe they should pro duce more poultry, livestock, and feed, but less cotton, tobacco, and other cash crops. Such a shift in production is need ed to balance farming to meet local ‘ requirements and at the same time provide adjustments necessary from a national standpoint, the farmers decided. Farmers who made the study were committeemen appointed in almost every county of the State in connec tion with the county program plan ning movement started last Decem ber by the StaHq College agricul tural extension service. The 6,919 committeemen and as sistants surveyed local conditions, discussed the situation with more than 50,000 other farmers, and made recommendations regarding im provements needed in this State. A tabulation of all their recom mendations, as made by Julian Mann, who is in charge of exten sion studies at ’ State College, brought out the following points, amongother things: The cotton crop should be cut 35 per cent below the average acre age for the 1928-1932 period. Al lowing for better farming practices, production would be cut only 5 per cent. The tobacco crop should be held to 79 per cent of the base acreage established under the old AAA, but production would be only 10 per cent below the base poundage, in view of better farming methods. o NO TICE I want’ to thank the people who supported me with their vote in the Democratic Primary on June 6th for the House of Representatives. I want to assure each and every one that your vote was appreciated. JEFF O’BRIANT. o State Warrants For Sale at Times’ Office.
