OBJECTIVES OF FARM BUREAU EXPLAINED i Another Meeting Will be Held Saturday at Courthouse at 2 P. M. On last Saturday aftc-imoon a number of farmers met in the court house and heard Mr. Ottis Kercher, 1 special representative of the Ameri can Farm Bureau, explain the ob- j jects and purposes of this organiza- ' tion. A temporary organization of Person County farmers was effect-! ed, and a call meeting was held Tuesday morning, in order thatj others might have an opportunity, to take part in the work of the N. C. Farm Bureau. There were fifteen present and all of them joined the organization. There will be another meeting of all interested farmers and business men Saturday afternoon at 2 p. m. All who are interested in getting parity price for tobacco this fall are invited to come and take part in the meeting Saturday afternoon. Come promptly at 2 p. m. In the meantime, if you wish to discuss the matter of joining the organization, see Mr. C. L. Brooks, secretary-treasurer. The necessary forms and measur ing tapes for measuring crops have not yet been received in the County Agent’s office. The Supervisors will begin work just as soon as these supplies are received. An appeal is made to all farmers to have someone available to carry one end of the chain for the supervisor. It will also be necessary that the man in charge of thtj farm or some one who knows the name and crop of each tenant go with the super visor. This year the whole crop of each tenant, including tobacco, corn, wheat, oats, Iqspedeza, clover, gar dens, and all other crops will be listed separately from that of all other tenants, and it will therefore be necessary that someone go with the supervisor who can point out each field that is tended by each tenant, and give that tenant’s name. The farrriqrs and the supervisors are all anxious to get this work completed, and the work will be started just as soon as the supplies arrive. o Damage done by chinch bugs to corn in Pamlico County is decreas ing since the farmers started the j control methods advocated by the county farm agent.

Despite the trail of ruin left in the wake of the recent drought, agricultural ob servers advance the belief that farmers who have survived the ca tastrophe may find in higher grain prices a better Revenue than if they had produced bumper crops.
