FARMERS WATCH
WITH MUCH INTEREST
FATE OF FARM BILL: The
Perquimans County far
mers who have been wat-:
ching with interest the fate
of the farm relief bill,
sponsored by the ad
ministration as a means of
relieving the acute situation
brought about in agriculture
by the collapse of the AAA,
were pleased to learn that
the bill was overwhelmingly
passed by the United States
Senate last Saturday. The
vote was 56 to 20. The bill
now goes to the House. The
measure calls for
$5,000,000,000 to be used in a
Woil conservation-subsidy
brand of crop control. It
would authorize the ex
penditure of a half-billion
dollars in federal subsidities
to farmers based on their
acreage of crop land, soil
improving and erosion
preventing crops, changes
in farm practices and a
percentage of normal
production entering
domestic channels.
MUSTACHE OFFERED
AS PART SECURITY: A
mustache was named as a
part of the security con
veyed in a certain chattel
mortgage, given by Isaac
Eason, a well-known colored
man who lived at Belvidere,
conveyed a brown mule and
a black mustache to Win
slow & White, mortgage
being to secure the purchase
price of the mule from the
firm which dealt in mules
and horses. Neither the
mule nor the mustache was
forfeited, however, and the
mortgage, which was paid
in full, was duly conceited.
Eason wore his mustache,
which was conspicuous for
its length, to the day of his
death.
Tommy Sumner observed
his second birthday on
February 13, when a few of
his friends gathered to enjoy
the birthday cake with ice
cream. Joe Towe, Jr., who is
some three weeks Tommy's
junior, never has been
aware that he is a baby,
which is probably also true
of Tommy. "Take Tommy,"
said joe. uo aneaa ana

take Tommy, then," he was
told. So Joe place his arms
about the body of his friend,
but the "taking" wasn't so
easy, after all, and the two
youngsters rolled over the
floor, which was all in the
day's fun. Tommy, if you
please, considers himself
quite a grown up as Joe and
doubless wonders "what the
heck." They are two husky
youngsters, and it is a toss
up which is more of a man.
ROBERT HOLLOWELL
HONORED AT DUKE:
Robert Hollowell, who is a
sophomore at Duke
University this year, is
making a fine record. As a
result of doing honor work,
his name frequently ap
peared on the Dean's list,
which carries with it the
priviledge of being excused
from all classes unless he
wishes to attend. Robert is
remembered as being the
president of the senior
class in Perquimans High
School in 1934.
MOTORISTS PICK UP
GEESE ALONG ROAD:
Coming from Elizabeth City
one night last week, a
certain Hertford citizen saw
a couple of men who had
alighted from a truck
chasing a couple of geese in
the road. The man went up
the road and reported the
matter, and meanwhile the
geese had been caught and
the thieves had gone on their
way. The geese proved to be
the property of Mr. and Mrs.
E.R. Whedbee.
FORCED AGAIN TO DE
LAY OPENING COUNTY
SCHOOLS: The Perquimans
County Schools have had
another week of enforced
vacation, due to the
disagreeable weather
condition of many of the dirt
roads over which the buses
have to travel. The last of
the snow was melted during
the latter part of the week
by a heavy rain, leaving the
roads, which were already
in a terrible condition, mucn
worse. Thus, it was found
