POTATO GROWERS
ARE HEAVY LOSERS
Strenuous Season With
Farmers Worse Off Than
Before Planting Crop
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel


Raleigh, July 23-Tragedy was
mingled with comedy during the Irish
potato marketing season recently
closed in eastern North Carolina, ac-
cording to reports reaching here.
Among the comments from the early
potato counties are the following from
R. w. Galphin, Pamlico county farm
agent of the State College extension
service.
This has been the most strenuous
potato season I have ever seen. I'm
less you have gone through one of
these, you cannot possibly realize the
strain the people have been under.
You see prices go down until they
reach the borderline where farmers
may break even or lose money.
Farmers keep hoping and struggling;
then prices break and growers see
ruin staring them in the face. Some
of the farmers had just got started
again after being on the relief rolls.
Now they'll have to seek relief anoth-
er year.
Zone grower has worked hard this
year so he could get little money
md go to the mountains, where the
doctor said he might regain his
health. But he will have to stay
1o-vn bore and take his chances"
But there was comedy to be found
in the potato marketing, Galphin
continued.
At one of the potato graders at AL
lance, a negro worked until he was
nearly exhausted, crawled in a potato
ar and went to sleep The train
crew came along and in their rush

they slammed the door of the refrig-
orator car and sealed it with the
negro inside.
A report came back by railroad men
that when the car reached the Berk-
ley yards at Norfolk, they thought a
lion had been placed in the car. "Such
a roaring and believing as you never
heard-but they let the negro out, "
Galphin said.
Not only were prices down, but po-
tatoes failed to ship well this season,
and insects appeared to do more than
usual damage, Galphin declared. This
decreased the growers returns still
further
1T all sums up to one thing" said
Galphin 1--WE are in much worse shape
today than we were before planting"

welfare, pubic nealtn, pubic own
ership, gambling and tideland oil
development.
In less than two years, these
topics moved to the front, replac-
ing taxation, revenue, budget defi-
cits and unemployment relief as the
problems considered of widest in
terest to lawmakers and their con-
stituents.
The social welfare program in
cludes proposals to increase the old
age pension-already highest paid
in any state-from $35 to $50 a
month; to extend better aid to or
phans and blind; to devise more
permanent unemployment relief
plan.
Paying more attention to public
health than they have in the past
several years, legislators proposed
laws creating a state bureau of
venerial diseases, requiring the reg
istration and examination of every
one and making mandatory the
treatment of the disease.
Public ownership loomed as one
of the biggest issues and was given
impetus by the growing movement
among communities to operate their
own power distributing facilities.
The tideland oil question entered
into the picture. Present during
each session for many years, it
acquired new importance this year,
largely because of proposals that
the state develop its own tideland
oil pools rather than permitting
private companies to acquire state
