IS
TAKING
PLACE
BY
UNITED STATES SENATOR
' ' Although thia is being written in
advance of the convening of Congress,
,it is already evident that 'the special
session will have a very definite bear
ing on the trends in business, indus
try and agriculture during , the
months ahead. In fact, whether the
present lull will continue into 1938,
or pick-up with heavy holiday activ
ity, may largely rest on what Con
gress does or does not do.
The result is that members of
Congress are returning to Washing
ton with a new determination to par
ticipate in making the session run as
smoothly as possible and devote to
the purposes for which it has been
called. This opinion is shared by
many of my Senatorial colleagues.
If there is one thing that stands
out in the pre-session discussions, it
is that the big job before Congress is
to give business and industry new
assurance through relief from taxes
that are proving burdensome and at
the same time find the necessary
funds to give needed assistance to
agriculture. The word assistance is
preferable to relief.
With hearings completed in all
. parts of the country, it is not unlikely
that the members of the Senate Com
mittee and House Committee on Ag
riculture will report to the Congress
very early in the session, perhaps
during the first week. Considerable
thought is being given to finding an
effective compromise between those
who favor compulsory crop control
and those who favor voluntary con
trol. How to accomplish either with
legislation that will be branded as
constitutional is, of course a majoi
problem.
But the farmers have more reason
for hope than they hove had In re
cent) years. Their views have been
. Congressional committees
;t. , There will be no delav in the
cha'racterVof shunting -farm legisla
tion aside for less important things.
Whether tax revision will be thown
into the special session 1s problematic.
The decision on whether to tackle the
tax problem now or at the regular
session convening in January, may
depend a great deal on the progress
in drafting a farm program that is
workable. If that nioves along swift
ly, the highly controversial and im
portant tax question1 may come up.
There is much evidence that those
engaged in actively working on a
tax program realize that business and
industry, and in turn agriculture, are
greatly affected, by a national hesi
tancy. It is a hesitancy of business
and industry to expand and create
more jobs. Thus assurance that the
capital gains and undistributed pro
fits taxes will be modified would un
doubtedly have a , stimulating effect
oh the whole country. How soon it
can be given is the question of the
hour.
On the whole, there is reason to
believe that every effort will be made
to unify the thought on important
subjects to the end that the White
House and the Congress will finally
work together with a great deal of
harmony. While business, industry
and agriculture look first to Con
gres8 to give the national reassurance
needed, the President will undoubted
ly attempt to make recommendations
that will find sympathetic attention
in the Congress. This would assure
speedier action on all legislation.
At this early date it looks as if the
special session will assume great im
portance from the very first and at
tempt to end what is well described
as "national hesitancy" in the march
to improve our whole economic struc
ture.

The interest of farmers and city consumers in balanced larm produc
tion are directly related. The chart shows the close relationship between
farm cash income and the income of industrial workers. Estimates for both
groups place 1937 income at about 90 per cent of the 1924-1929 average. In
1932 the income for the two groups was about 45 per cent of the 1924-1929
average.

Gary Cooper and Prances Dee In a
dramatic moment from "Souls at
Sea," at the State Theatre, Hertford,
Monday and Tuesday.
"Souls at Sea" is the motion pic
ture treatment of the famous trial of
"Nuggin" Taylor, sea, captain of the
'40's who assumed command of the
brig "William Brown" when that ship
caught fire in mid-Atlantic shortly
after her master died. Taylor is
played by Gary Cooper, who hardly
performed as well in any of his long
string of credible adventure stories
possibly because he was re-enacting
a story from history's pages for the
first time.
The "William Brown" was equipped
with only two life 1 boats and Taylor
realized that he could never bring
the entire ship's company to Bafety
in the frail craft. He ordered
trial to determine who should be per
mitted to go aboard the lifeboats and
.who should be ordered at pistol
"poiftt-tb remain aboard and go to
the bottom with the ill-fated vessel.
He included himself among the sur
vivors not because he wanted to save
his life, he later told an admiralty
court, but because he knew he was
the only man who could bring the
life-boats safely through to land.
There followed a trial which is
now epic among sea trials. Taylor
was accused of manslaughter on the
high seas not only by most of the
survivors, but what hurt most, by his
sweetheart, played by beautiful Fran
ces Dee.
This powerful picture lists in its
cast George Raft, who is superb as
the hard-boiled mate of the vessel
who would steal a kernel of corn
from a hen, but who would follow
his captain to the grave; Henry Wil-
coxon, Harry Carey, Ulympe Bradna,
Robert Cummings, Porter Hell and a
roster of supporting players culled
from Hollywood's most noted feature
players.
Cattle And Lambs
Bring High Prices
Prices for well-finished cattle and
lambs are likely to continue near
present v levels for the next few
months, according to L. I. Case, beef
cattle and sheep specialist' for the
State College Extension Service.
Prices farmers receive for hogs are
expected to go down Borne as tney
usually do during the fall and winter
months. But even with this usual
decline, hog prices are expected to
average at least as high as a year
ago.
' Many sections of North Carolina
produced a bumper crop of corn this
year, Case said. Therefore, with
prospects for lower corn prices and
a relatively high' level of hog prices,
the corn-hog price ratio will be fav
orabie for swine leeding and pro
duction during the next few months.
The improved feed-grain situation
also points to- an 'increase in the
number of cattle and lambs fed this
year, the extension specialist declar
ed.
The outlook for sheep and lambs
has changed but - little during the
past ' month. - Marketings will be
larger-this fall than in the past
summer,, but the effect, of these in
creased marketings on prices will be
offset largely by an expected strong
demand for feeder, lambs in the Corn
Celt. .
In mid-September cattle - prices
reached the highest level in about 7
years because of the marked shortage
of grain-fed cattle in the slaughter
supply, Case pointed out. Prices-of
well-finished cattle are expected to
continue relatively high, or at least
until increased si ''es of pram-fed
cattle become av lie next winter
Winter Weather Is

EDEN TON, N. C.
WE HAVE THE SHOWS
"Give the weather a chance to
work your idle land for you this
winter," said E. C. Blair, extension
agronomist at State College.
Fields that are plowed deeply this
fall will be more exposed to freezing
and thawing through the winter,
which will pulverize the soil and kill
harmful insects, he said.
All lespedeza sod, clover sod, and
land on which no winter cover crop
is growing should be plowed in No
vember if possible, or at least in
December or January.
Plow the land good and deep,
Blair urged, and leave the surface
rough until it is harrowed next
spring.
Rough plowed land, he pointed out,
will get greater benefits from the
freezing and thawing, and will also
accumulate moisture that will be
helpful to spring crops.
There will be very little erosion on
fields that are plowed deep in the
fall and left with a rough surface,
especially if the furrows run along
the contours.
Such furrows will act as miniature
terraces to hold the water until it is
soaked up by the soil.
And the more water there is in
the soil near the surface, the more
effective will be the freezing actfon
in pulverizing the earth and making
it 1
