THE PEDDLER AS A NUISANCE

..Our attention was recently called
to news item III a newspaper deal
ing with difficulties encountered in
enforcing an ordinance to control and
restrict house to house peddling. The
company which the peddker repre-
scented exhibited determination to
dlnance.
What the outcome Of the action
was we have not learned. We do hope
however, that the time is not far off
when the nuisance created by the
house to house peddler can be abated.
When the ordinance which will eff
fectively deal with the evil is Hound.
we also hope that it may become the
pattern for SIMILAR legislation here
i'll our own community.
For house to house peddling IS an
evil from the standpoint Of local bus
mess and OF the community rs a
whole. A substantial share OF the
taxes which maintain our community
and it's many services and institutions
comes drom the ti1Is Of local mer-
chants. The peddler assumes none OF
this obligation toward the commune
W A substantial cost Of doing bus
mess here grows out of the nee
essity OF maintaining constant service
and providing guarantee back OF
every article sold. Here again the ped
dler assumes no part of the burden
Oh maintaining the continuity Of bus
mess in the community.
Why then should he be permitted
to continue his business without pay
ing at least substantial license
which may in some small measure
compensate for the fact that he pays
no taxes.
These are just few Of the argu-
ments on which We base our position
that some legislation should be adopt
ed here to control the evil and nuts
ance. 1t must be agreed that the ped
dler is both parasite and nuisance.
"A parasite because he pays no part OF
the cost Of maintaining the commun-
". A nuisance because he forces at
tention to his wares at announcement
times and at in0pportune occasions.

THE TRAILER CITY

The citizen who bitches his trailer
to the family car and sallies forth
once or twice year on u fishing trip
or some outdoor vacation excursion
presents no problem. But the trailer,
nevertheless, presents today one Of
the most perplexing Of social ques-
tons.
For government estimates disclose
that more than 100000 citizens

ent or searching for temporary eln-
ployment. The slow movement OF
some of these trailers on congested
highways brings no joy to the motor
ist, and contributes nothing to the
cause of highway safety. The exist.
ence of large trailer camps with their
migratory populations presents my
Rad Of questions.

Our observation has always been that
the best citizens are those who owns

There are those who hold strongly
to the belief that the existence OF
trailer camps is a passing fad, thai
they cannot answer the Fundamental
love of home among the majority oil
American citizens. We hope thot they
are right.

HEAD
EMPHASIZES
PEANUTS
cHEMuRG1C DEVELOPMENT
CITED

Citing peanuts as another crop
suitable for chemurgic develop
ment in Mississippi, j. G. Holton,
commissioner of agriculture, calls
attention elsewhere, production
is negligible in Mississippi, and
that while peanut processing
plants are numerous elsewhere,
those in Mississippi must import
raw materials from other states.
The peanut, thought to have
been brought into this country as
food for cargoes of slaves, was
produced in the South on 2,7O1,-
acres in 1886, of which only 81
900 acres were in Mississippi. The
total yield of harvested nuts was
!, 300, OOO, 900 pounds gathered,
not counting approximately one
million acres harvested by hogs.
The average yield in the Unit
ed States last year, stated Com
missioner Holton, was 749 pounds
per acre, and in 1885, 755 pounds
per acre, In Mississippi scant at
tention is paid to peanut grow
ing, and the yield was only 52O
pounds per acre Hay, the by
product in peanut production,
about doubles the yield by weight
Of peanuts harvested.
BY way of comparison, the
average yield of sweet potatoes
in the United States last year
was 70 bushels per acre, and in
Mississippi SO bushels per acre.
More than 300 contract-produc-
ers for sweet potatoes starch
plant at Laurel employed special
lied practices and secured an
average yield of 131 bushels per
acre. IT seems clear that farmers
of Mississippi producing peanuts
commercially should equal or ex-
coed the belt-wide average. and
that the belt-to the acre farmer
should expect 1000 pounds or
more per acre.
Peanut prices felt the full
blows of the depression, and the
peanut crop has since benefited
by Government adjustment pro-
grams, so that the average price
for TIE crop of 1885 was 3.13-cent
pound; for 1886, 3.39-cents per
pound; and on March Is, 1887,
Accents per pound. On this basis
an acre of peanuts at the aver
age yield for the state would
yield about $21.00 for peanuts
sold, plus about one-half ton of
hay the average yield for the
peanut belt would bring about
$4,000 for peanuts sold, plus
about 1900 pounds of hay; and
Yields of a thousand pounds per
acre, such as have been secured
by many thousands of farmers,
would mean about $4,000 in cash
and about a ton of hay.

MANY REGISTER
FOR OLD AGE
BENEFITS
1918 DUE TO REGISTER
OFFICIAL SAYS

Holmes County has approx
mately 1884 workers registered
as potential beneficiaries under
the Federal Old-Age Benefits
system Of the Social Security
program, according to recent
figures furnished Fl. Fl. Dashiell,
in charge of the Jackson Office
of the Social Security Board. This
total compares with an estimat-
ed 1928 workers in this County
who should be registered under
the system, it was stated.
Board officials explained that
all employees in trade and indus
try, roughly speaking, come un-
der the Federal Old-Age Benefits
Plan, whether or not their employ
err has anyone else working for
him, and urged that applications
for account numbers be filed with
out delay.
All Post Offices in Mississippi
are continuing to receive volun-
tary applications for Social Sec
urity account numbers from work
ers who have failed to register in
accordance with Treasury regula-
tions. The necessary form, which
is known as Form SIS, may be
secured from and should be filed
at the Post Office where the
worker registering receivs his
mail.
An employee who has already
made application should not do
so again. ever though he should
change jobs. as one account mum
her is sufficient. The number card
is the property of the worker.
and should be kept in a safe
place.
As of April II. a total of 1877,
1873 applications for Social Secur
itv Account Numbers had reach
! ed the Board from workers il
Mississippi.
