FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1940 As We See It From a news story appearing in a daily paper it would seem that the new dairy now being constructed in PERQUIMANS County is another addition to the numerous businesses close by the home city of the paper . . . however, we feel that credit should be given where credit is due and while the dairy will be located 13 miles from another town ... its location is approximately 5 miles from Hertford and . . . Perquimans County' will be the site of the only Golden Guernsey Dairy between Dur ham and Norfolk. No doubt this type of business wilO be beneficial to a wide area, but the honors of location belong to ua At Long: Last From here it begins to look as though at long last Hertford is about to succeed in getting an im provement in bus station facilities. It appears that the inconvenient conditions that have existed here are about to be smoothed and ironed out to everyone's satisfaction. Apparently, from unofficial re ports, the new station here will be no modern bus terminal, but it will be sufficient. in other words, there will be clean rest rooms and waiting rooms for both Negroes and whites. It appears that the Town, after forefpg, the issue with the bus cor poration, will provide designated parking spaces so that patrons wll be sure the bus is going to stop at a certain point. it appears, that there will be no more janding on the streets in driv ing iajn or wind waiting for the late bus after the present station has closed'. fts doors for the day. While in no way wilt the station compare' with the terminal in Eliza beth City, it will be adequate . . . . even if.it provides only a shelter and a place to sit down. Hertford asked for little in the way of improvements, and the ear ner company will before long note thafthe improvements it makes here will not go unappreciated. And too, it is gratifying to record that the town will cooperate to the extent of marking off an enclosure ion as a bus stop only. For a while, it looked as though the town would never allow the busses to stop on Church Street; but there is such a thing as carrying the letter of the law to extremes. However, everybody is happy now, and it is not The Perquimans Week ly' desire to do other than welcome this needed improvement.

By WHATSO DUST IN YOUR EYE! Two gen tlemen of the leather slinging pro fession stand watching each other, they move right, they move left, then back, then forward; there is per sistent though slight movement of gloves in each other's faces, the guard moves a bit this way and that, the free arm seems ready for action. Then of a sudden action! One of the gentlemen feints with his right ste ever so slightly to the. sideiJ as ie,does it. His Opponent -Is on guard for that threatening right.1! Then a feint with the left to the right eye of his opponent followed in a fraction of a split second with a crashing right to the left tip of his opponent's jaw.

The art of feinting in boxing, fencing and other sports is a pretty thing to watch, ' its accomplishment is a sign of skill and it is honorable. Dust in your eye you do not see what is happening. Yes, it is the art of deception this dust throwing, Deception and dust throwing are not always honorable. The Roman Caesars threw dust in the eyes of the citizens of the decadent Empire with free bread, feast and Circus. The old Ward Boss controlled large and populous sections of the city be cause he fed the babies of the voters. Dust in your eye. Not so many years ago you could pass along streets in the City of Washington, D. C, and all that you beheld was pleasing to the eye. Broad, clean streets; well-kept side walks; imposing line of buildings or of homes. Dust in your eye, my friend, dust in your. eye.

I am wondering how many of us have thought to write President Roosevelt and thank him for the step he has taken to start negotiations for peace by sending Under-Secretary Sumner Welles to nations of Europe to explore present conditions there Secretary Hull has announced that diplomatic conversa tions have commenced with neutral governments to explore the possibil ity of creating in a pehce that all hope for, "a sound international economic system, and at the same time, world-wide reduction of arma ments." This beginning is some thing for which we should all feel thankful, and we might teQl the President so, and encourage him to continue his efforts until rewarded by success. It would certainly seem that now just as the administration has begun these negotiations Would, of all 4 times, be a most unfortunate one for this nation to enlarge its navy, as other nations would be likely to dis trust us. While we have our writing material out to thank the President, why not write our senators and -congressmen to oppose naval expansion tor the present at least? .

North ' Carolina cotton growers this year, says J. 0. Rowell, extension ' entomologist at State College. Although the value of this early treatment as an aid in fighting the weevil Ja ,noji-4ully, . supported ( by ex perimental' evidence ' in North Caro lina, South Carolina growers have reported good results from its use, Rowell said. , Field demonstrations in North Carolina last season also in dicated good results for the method.. Liquid poisoning by mopping has several advantages over dusting as a pre-square treatment, the State Col lege entomologist pointed out. For the mopping method, no expensive equipment is involved, the cost of materials is slightly less, and appli cation may be made during any part of the day. The liquid poison as generally used, is composed of one pound of calcium arsenate, one gallon of cheap molasses, and one gallon of water. It is prepared by adding the arsenate to the water,- stirring thoroughly, and then adding the molasses. This auantitv is sufficient for an acre of cotton. Only the amount; needed fori each day should be mixed at one time. ' '' If over-wintered weevils are num erous on the, young .plants, from. one to three pre-square poison applica tions at 5 to 7 -day Intervals should, be made. Treatment is advisable' when weevils occur at the rate of 80 or more per acre. Poisoning should be started just as soon as the squares begin to form, and before they are large enough for the weevils to puncture. The liquid mixture may be applied with a home-made mop, constructed by tying a piece of cloth or sack to one end of a light board five feet long and two to three inches wide. If rain occurs within 24 hours, the treatment should be repeated. Cotton Parity Rate Announced By Floyd North Carolina cotton growers will receive a parity payment of 1.5'5 cents a pound this year for planting withintheir 1940 AAA acreage allot ment, announces E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State College. These price adjustment or parity payments, which supplement the regular agricultural conservation payments, will be made under the provisions of the Agricultural Ad justment Act of 1$38 and the 1940 Department of Agriculture Appro priation Act which set aside $96, 000,000 for cotton growers of the nation. ' The '1940 Actovided , thati pay-, ment be made on cotton this year if the 1989, avejage-f arm. price was less than 75 percent of parity. .Since the lestimaied '1939 ' season " average price for tobacco was above 75 per cent of parity, no price adjustment payments will be made on the leaf crop this year. Three other basic crops will share in the $225,000,000 set aside for parity payments on this year's pro duction. In addition to cotton, pay ments will be made on rice, wheat,; and corn. Since cotton prices im proved relatively leas than those for the other crop,' 'lb proportion Vof the parity fund going to cotton pro-. ducers in 19405will be larger. than il was in 1939. Floyd - indicated that estimated in creases in participation in 1940 as compared with 1939 estimates are responsible for the somewhat lower rates of the parity payments for this year. Besides the parity payments, farm-i era who cooperate in the 1940 AAA program and plant within their acre age allotments will receive agricul "of Spring &ttenis is J , . . , rT OUR'Jf ;::0;Turbans; yh'y V ymr l36kter!
