He is a graduate of the State college and his home is in Mars Hill, Madison county. He is a young man of un usual ability and energy and his work among the farmers will no doubt be of great benefit to agricul tural interests. He is assisted with the clerical work in his office by Miss Virgina Brown. Perhaps there are tew -couu.y agents in the state who have v many obstacles to over come in per forming their duties as Mr. Tilson. Besides only about five telephones in the county (and they are in Swan Quarter only), there are no telegraph wires, railroads and no goods road" during damp weather. At present he is concentrating hu energies on getting the corn-hog con tracts signed up and is holding edu cational meetings throughout the dif ferent townships. The county com mittee on this work is R. L. Mann chairman, of Fairfield; O. B. 'Gibbs Lake Landing and' D. D. Spencer cf Scranton. He is advocating planting lespedezr. and velvet beans on lands ler.ted tc the government, to be turned in fot soil improvement. During his few weeks of work, Mr Tilson has taken special interest in poultry growing and suggested prop er culling for the improvement of stock.

E. H Cooper of Washington, N. C., with the federal government, was in Swan Quarter last week making arrange ments for this office. The office for Beaufort county is located in the Grand Jury room of the Federal Building in Washington and is in charge of Ben Apcock of Pantego.

B. G. Cara wan, secretary-treasurer of the Pan tego National Farm Loan Associa tion, received word today from Wm. of the Farm Credit Administration, Washington. D. C, that federal land bank loans and land bank commissioners' loans will be made in the future through the Federal land bank in bonds of the Federal Farm Mortgage corpora tion, which, bonds are guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and' interest These bonds will take the place or the cash distribution in the disburse ment of the unclosed loans viously approved by the Federal land bsnW s Tho' imnds of the Federal Farm Mortgage corporation, according to the statement by Governor Myers will have behind them not only the unconditional guarantee of the Fed eral government as to both princi t i :o,.ocf mi l the canital of the Federal Farm Mortgage cov-, poration amounting to about ?20C-1 000,000, but also the consrlidate,. j bonds of the federal land bantts i sued in exehanga for the bonds of the Federal Farm Mortgage cor poration and the mortgages accepted by the land bank commissioner as security for loans. Governor Myers assured' Secretary B. G. Carawan that the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation bonds will be an attractive investment. "They will be as readily marketable a3 bonds of the United , States government and they, will be quoted in all of the prin cipal markets," he continued. "Hold ers who have to dispose of these bondis should not sell them without first ascertaining their real market value." The Governor particularly stress ed the fact that Country bankers p bably wij be larpe investor ... thes.e securities since tre creditors of farmers who are being refinanced may not all be in the position where they can hold the bonds so acquira 1 and will find it necessary to sell them. Secretary Carawan states that these bonds, which will be tendered tc farmers' creditors in payment of the financed indebtedness, are "exempt from all federal, state, municipal anu local taxation, except surtaxes and estate, inheritance and gift taxes They are lawful security for 15-.ay borrowings by member banks of the Federal Reserve system.

In addition, to pro vide for certain debts, such as taxes which cannot be paid in bonds, cash covering the requireu amours be provided. Loans which have been applied for and approved, but on which the cast has not been paid out, as weu asj those approved by the bank in the; futurefi will be financed on the above' basis. This arrangements in no way disturbs or alters the other provi sions of the loans. The interest rat2 on new loans will continue to be 4 1-2 per cent for the emergency Deriod when made through a national farm loan association and 5 per cent when made airectly by the banK. o The next session of the Pamlico TtonHct nssruMstirm will meet with the Gum Neck Bapist church on the fifth Sunday in April, Ap.

JEWISH FEAST EXPLAINED Our last week's et'ition carried ar article "Today Oldest Jewish Feast" and we are told by J. Meyerowit that the feast fay d e not com mence until today at nightfall. Mr Meyerowitz haj prepared for publi cation a dejcrintion of this Jewish celebration as follows: Significance 1. Historical: Pa-ssover is associat ed with the birth of the Jewish na tion, the redemption of our ances tors from Egyptian bandage (1201 B. C.) an epoch making event in '.he history of our people. 2. Agricultural: Pesach (passover) also marked the early barley harvest in Palestine, when the jewi3h farm ers from all parts of Palestine hsad to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem, to offer sacrifices upon, the altar, including an offering of. an "omer" (a dry measure, approx: matfcly one-half gallon) of barley. Manner of Observance 1. Unleavened bread: a. During the pascver festival week Jews abstain from partaking ol leaven sd bread or of any food pre- ' pared with leaven. b. Sneeial sets cf utsni!s and ; dishes 'are used, and "Matsoth" or j unleavened cakes are eater., as a re 1 i.... r,f Yo. Tiv.ipiites' hurried dr- lUiim'-i v... ... .... part ure from Egypt, when they had to bake their bread in haste, with out permitting the dough to ferment The story of Israel's dcliveranc? from Egyptian bondage has served as an example which other freedom striving peoples, throughout the ages have endeavored to emulate. L has doubteless influenced the found ing of our own American republic. Joseph Meyerowitz.

HYDE COUNTY I GOSSIP Are things looking up for Hykr county? Doe3 a faint ray of optim um prevail? A few dabs of paiak here and there, new fences, repair to barns and homes, and freshly plowed ground are the barometer of hope. Better crops and better prices are anticipated. The newly appointed county afreftt and the vocational teacher will help generally. Soon money will be paid for cot ton land rented to the government. Then comes the corn-hog reduction benefits. The seed loan office opened in Swan Quarter this week. The New Lake section of Hyda county, where good spirits have al ways been prevalent, is still de pressed and the people there find it hard to jrti good prices for their proc.uct. Their one time flourishing business is on the wane, we are told, to the extent that many manufactur ers have been forced to secik aid from the federal relief for the nec essities of life such as flour, pork, eggs and butter. Better business gen erally have failed to help conditions this part of the county. Optimistic rumors among the noli tie-ally inspired around the county are afloa and if any dependence can be put in rumors the present incum bents had better start making pro i mises. Many hats are already i nthe i rim? while others are poised for hulling. The office of the Register of Deeds appears to be the most cov eted at the present time, with sever al having already declared their in tentions of running against Miss Kate Credle the present occupant of the office. Sheriff Jeff Credle, it ia said, will also have opposition but no official anonuncement has been made It is presumed now that Chairman Warren W. Watson will seek to hold his title to the Chairmanship of the Board of County Commissioners a iT-TWats colleagues J. A. Luptoa r-rninor Superior court which is now hell oy C. L. Bell. However, the voting public will be given ample time in which to view and review their candidates and! sa- i lect their favorites. ! A voter suggested that a winning i platform for any candidate would bs j "We will get you out of the mud ! and out of debt." "Of course," thi voter said, "we know they cant da it but it sounds good."
