A PHASE Of DIS

METHODS
(By U. 8. Press)

Washington. Sept. "a story car
ried by the United News says tha.
foreign diplomats and administration
officials in Washington are watching
Geneva for a possible conflict or du-
pificatioii Of purpose between the
league Of nations, now meeting there.
and the forthcoming Harding disarn
ament conference. The disarmament
commission, appointed by the league.
has left to vote Of the league assep
bly, whether it will set date now for
an international conference On arms
or whether it will leave it open to be
decided by the council at an oppor-
tune moment. Upon the outcome of
this vote, it is believed here, will de-
pend whether the league goes ahead
independently in the matter Of world
armament limitation, or whether it
will tacitly. at least, give the Wash
ington conference its upport. The
News story says that IN the latter
event it is believed the league would
materially weaken it's prestige.

SWEET POTATOES A
PROFITABLE CROP
Bring Half Million Dollars To
Farmers Of Camden and Currituck

Raleigh, n. c., Sept 9.-'sThe most
farm development in nv
part of the State has been the sweet
potato farming in Currituck and Cam
den counties,'' said Herbert Peele,
editor Of the Elizabeth City Advance,
who was in Raleigh yesterday. ga
half million dollars worth Of sweet po-
tatoes ware shipped from the portions
of the two counties lying along the
banks Of the lower Pasquotank.
"The Currtuck and Camden sweets
are not the sort Of potatoes that we
North Carolina people like the best.
They are the dry potato. Northera
people do not like the soft, very sweet
juicy potato like for instance the fam
Gus North Carolina yam
"The good prices are largely &C
counted for by the fact that the Do
tatoes reach the market very early
The soil is light and the tubers ma
ture quickly. They reach the market
when there is a big demand and art
eagerly taken at good prices.
'sThe soja bean is another profit
able crop in our section. Our farm
ers made good money on this crop las
year, ana viii probably do well rhi
year.
| "Our truckers had hard luck TIM
year with their Irish potatoes. The,
made no money On them. Last yea
! they made big money on them. Tha
is the hardship about trucking, Yo1
make one year and lose the next
Probably the remedy is in some form
of cooperative marketing.
! "Thanks to our fishing industr.
and diversified farming the financia
depression has not been felt so mucl
in the Elizabeth City section as il
some parts of tho State.''
