SURPLUS PURCHASES
HOLD POTATOES UP
Commodities Corporation Buys Nearly
100000 Pounds of Spuds
During Year
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 81 uIchase of nearly
five million pounds of Irish potatoes
during the fiscal year ended June 30
is credited with holding "spud" prices
above the 50-cent mark, according to
estimates of A. E. Langston, direc-
tor of commodity distribution for the
State Board of Charities and Public
Welfare IN
Mr.. Langston's report showed that
during the year 1851 carloads, or A.
100000 pounds, of surplus Irish pota-
toes were purchased from North
Carolina growers at cost of 1891, 44O,
or 80 cents per hundred pounds.
"While the total paid for these pota-
toes represents but little if any more
than the cost of production to the
farmers involved the report says,
"it has been estimated that if the
Federal Surplus Commodities Cor
poration had not entered the North
Carolina potato market when it did,
potatoes would have probably declined
in price to SO cents per 100 pounds,

Surplus commodity warehouses are
now being maintained in Windsor,

Gated that about one person in every
twenty in North Carolina received
some part of the $1.494,7 1928 worth
of food, clothing and household furn-

year. Food distributed was valued at
$622,525.50, clothing at $749,51473, and
household articles at $122,6925O.

The Presbyterians showed under

Interest in the circuit was focused
on the Baptist-Rose clash and pretty
game was turned in.
The Baptist won the game in the
first inning, scoring four runs. Rose
was kept away from the plate until
the fifth when they pushed, over all
of their TALES. The Baptist got two
more TALES in this frame,
JE1lght errors by Rose did their

families with low incomes and there
fore entitled to every consideration
! it was said today by r. G. johnson
secretary of the North Carolina Pc
troleum Industries committee.
Mr.. Johnson asserted that data
compiled from official records indi-
Gates that 37.5 per cent of the income
tax returns filed from this state cover
family incomes of less than $4,000 a
year, further indication of limited
financial ability to pay taxes.
"The time has come when those
who impose taxes must stop to con-
slider the ability of the taxpayers to
pay" said Mr.. Johnson, land also
must realize that families with low
incomes, rather than the rich, pay the
bulk of the cost of government There
just aren't enough large-income fam
lilies to pay the kill. In the case of
gasoline and other automotive taxes,
levied to finance highways, there is
a real question of ability to pay, for
these taxes must be paid in addition
to all others.
Data now in the hands of my COM
mittee, and compiled from official
records, indicate that only As per
cent of the families in North Carolina
file federal income tax returns, and
37.5 per cent of these returns cover
incomes of $4,000 or less. However,
61.6 per cent of North Carolina fam
lilies pay antemotive taxes proof posi-
tive that the burden of tax cost is
borne by those with low incomes and
limited ability to pay.
"This all adds up to the fact that
when we go in for highway financing
we must face the facts, eschew luxur-
les, and levy road taxes at low rates
which our people can pay. Plan &C
cording to need, not to satisfy greed
seems to be a slogan which fits this
case perfectly

PREDICTS NEW DAY
FOR TENANT GROUP
Speaker at Farm and Home
Week Tells Experiences
of Farmer

College Station, Raleigh, Aug. s.
c. w. Allen, Guilford county tenant
farmer. pictures a new day for thous-
ands like himself when the recently
enacted tenant security legislation
takes hold.
Speaking before an audience of
Farm and Home Week delegates at
State Coll Jge, Allen described the
new legislation as one of the greatest
forward steps toward independence of
rural people.
my personal experience over
period of 20 years as tenant farmer
has convinced me that it is well nigh
impossible to make any money over
and above a living" Allen declared.
Few tenant farmers do"
Children of this class of farmers
are most likely to suffer from lack
of medical attention, education, and
home comforts, the speaker said
Even income during prosperous years
fails to provide for these things.
Lashing out at those lawmakers
who have fought tenant legislation,
Allen declared he wished all members
of law-making bodies were compelled
to- liYe the life of an average tenant
farmer through a period of five years,
moving to a new place each year.
"When the dust settled on their
threadbare belongings about the fifth
time, there would be some real efforts
made to keep the promises they had
made to farmers during their cam
paign speeches." Allen went on.
"There are thousands of worthy
tenant farmers throughout this State
who are seeking better conditions, .
he said This is the group that needs
to be rehabilitated. They want per-
manent home for their family where
modest wants and needs can be as
sured." D

SAYS FARMER GAN
GET REAL NEEDS
Mills Home Manager Speaks
At Farm and Home Week
Raleigh Event

College Station Raleigh, Aug. s.
Declaring that farmers can get the
things they need, G. G. McKoin, presi-
dent of the Farmers and Farm Wom-
ems convention now going on at State
College, urged rural people to organize
and work toward common endeavors.
Farmers represent one-half the
population of North Carolina, he
pointed out. Through organizing or
joining with some group, nothing can
stand in their way.
This is day of organization, "
McKoin, who is superintendent of the
Mills Home at Thomasville, stated.
People have always had enough ami
NAL instinct in them to want to min
gle together in groups.
1T has often been said" he went
on, that when any good group gets
together, they leave a better group.
However, let any bad group mingle
and they separate worse company.
For this reason, let us hope that the
good people mix more through the
good organizations we now have"
McKcin, in welcoming a group of
rur d ministers to the convention,
praised them for the work they are
doing in their communities. The
church plays an important part in any
sector, he said, and the ministers need
the support of every farmer in carry
ing ont their mission.
Pointing out the value of soil con-
servation, McKoin urged all delegates
to become more land-cOnSciouS and
practice approved methods of building
and conserving the soil and forests.
when erosion washes away our
farms, all is gone, and the time has
passed when we can clear more land"
he said. 1--WE must try to keep what
we have, beautify it, and make it
more productive"
