Market Will
Get Big Lot
OF Publicity

According to plans now under way,
the Henderson markets will this year
receive the biggest amount of pub
licity in their history. Never before
has there been such unanimity of eff.
fort or a more nearly community
wide movement launched to put Hen
derson before the people of this sec.
ton.
All promotion is being cleared thro-
ugh the newly-formed Henderson
Chamber of Commerce, of which j.
w. Jenkins is president and Fred M.
Allen, Jr., is executive secretary. This
is made possible by reason of the
fact that Mr.. Allen is serving both
the Chamber of Commerce in a COM
mercial capacity and the tobacco
market during the selling season as
sales supervisor.
Types of publicity used to good eff
feet last year and in other former
years will be employed again this sea-
son, together with other methods it
is believed will be helpful
Newspaper advertising will be the
backbone of the appeal to tobacco and
cotton growers. Local and neighbor-
ing papers will be used in placing
space that is to appeal to farmers
with tobacco and cotton to sell. They
will be invited to bring their products
to this market for sale, and then buy
their personal, family and farm needs
from local dealers and bank the diff

ference in the strong Henderson fin
ancial institutions.
Radio is to be used freely as a
medium for spreading daily the re-
ports on the Henderson leaf market.
Time has been contracted for on
WPTF, Raleigh.
Novelty advertising, Including
things that can be distributed to in
dividuals, will be purchased in large
quantities. Road signs that have al
ready been erected and placed in
other years are to be reprinted and
brought up-to-date. Some directly.
mail advertising is to be used also.
Committees working for the promo
ton of the market feel there is some
merit in all of these media-some bet
ter than others, of course, and these
to get perahps the larger share of the
budget appropriation. Definite an
nouncement has not been made yet
as to the specific allotments for the
various purposes, but all will be used
to the greatest degree possible with
the funds at hand, and to the end that
no opportunity will be lost to acquaint
growers in this section with the bene-
fits to be derived from selling their
commodities in Henderson and trad
ing with local merchants.

Major Cooper Prepares
History 10th Infantry
Outlines Activities Of
Famous North Caro-
lima National Guard
Unit Over Long Period

Major James G. Cooper. of the 10th
North Carolina Infantry, has just
completed a breif history of that or
ganization for publication. The article
is being carried in a book being pub
lished by the Army & Navy Publish
ing Company on the National Guard
of North Carolina.
All regiments in the organization
are included in the publication, and
pictures of each unit and it's roster
are included. Major Cooper said he
obtained much of the data in his ar
ticle from the office of Adjutant-Gen
eral J. Van B. Nets, in Raleigh.
Major Cooper goes back to the for
nation of the 10th Infantry for war
service in 1917-1918, and shows how
it was formed from the first, second,
third and fourth North Carolina In
fantry. He traces the activities of the
Guardsmen on the Mexican border
and through the World War.
There was a reorganization after
the war in 1919 as the First North
Carolina Infantry, but in 1921 it was
given the original World War desig-
nation of the 10th Infantry.
The organizations stay and ex-
periences in training camps in this
country prior to going over seas in
1918 are recounted in Major Cooper's
article, which, though comparatively
brief, is inclusive of the distinguished
service of the unit over long period
of years.
Major Cooper was selected to write
the article from among a number OF
others who might have been chosen
He was considered especially fitting
to do the job. He has been affiliated
with the regiment ever since the
World War. Immediately on reor-
ganization of Company c, of Hen
derson, after the war, he was made
commander, following his service in
France. He is now major in the
12Oth Infantry. His article follows in

influential full time Chamber of

son, many advantages which have
been going UNDECIDED for a number of
years, group OF far-sighted business
men, interested not in advancing their
own personal business, but in making
Henderson better place in which to
live, work, and trade, met in small
meeting some three months ago and
made a formal resolution to establish
and maintain a permanent Chamber
of Commerce. Shortly after this first
meeting, this small group, together
with others who, having heard of the
movement and were interested, form
ed a list of recommendations for the
establishment of a commercial or
ganization. These resolutions were
presented to the business and profess
sional men of Henderson, asking all
who were interested to support the
movement and become active men,

The Tar River Soil Conservation
District covers approximately 100000
acres and lies within Person, Gran
vile. Vance and Franklin counties.
II consists of the entire Tar river
watershed and it's tributaries extend
inc down to the Seaboard Railway be-
tween Franklinton and Henderson.
Approximately 5S per cent of this
area is in forest, 80 per cent in Gull
tivation. eight per cent idle and four
per cent in pasture. The predominant
inc slope is from four per cent to
twelve per cent. Approximately 25 per
cent of the area is above 13 per cent
which is mostly in forest and pasture.
The soil types within the district
are quite varied. Perhaps no other
area of the same size in North Caro-
lima has as many different soil types.
Ranging from Durham, a very fine
tobacco and truck soil, to splendid
grain and hay soils such as Cecil,
Georgeville and Mecklenburg.
2,368 Farms in District.
There are approximately 1858
farms within the district, with an
average size of 88 acres, but ranging
in acreage from 10 to LOO.
The principal crops grown on these
farms are corn, tobacco, wheat, oats
and hay with some cotton grown in
the lower Northeast corner, prin-
cipally in Franklin county.
The Tar River Soil Conservation
District. with headquarters at OK
ford, has already started operation in
the above area.
Five Supervisors.
The district is in charge of five
supervisors, J. Y. Crews, chairman;
Ben K Lassiter, secretary, Oxford
]. H. Brodie, Henderson; S. H. Usry
and Thomas N. Hobgood of Green
vile county. These supervisors direct
the work of the district soil conser-
vation service office. The district per-
