wild talk Of huge pension payments.
North Carolina is paying all it can
in pensions now. Later it may be able
to pay more, but not YETI, he con-
Guided. @s ~-sn
In making his estimates. of what
North Carolina, Mr.: Yelton took as
a basis the fact that there are mini
mum of 10000 Tar Heels IS and over:
This estimate, he said, is based on fig
ures collected from the counties since
establishment of the old age pension
plan in. the State. -
Figuring q thirty dollar; every
''Thursdayo- cost, he arrived at the
staggering total of 1894 ,OOO, 300 an
nually. He assumed, though he said it
was very far-fetched assumption, that
the Federal government would be
willing and able to contribute one
half this total; which left the sum to
be paid by the State and its sub
divisions at Silt, 100000 a year a
grand total far. far in excess of the
total cost of State government in
North Carolina, where totaaF tax col
lectiohs and authorized expenditures
for all purposes; including highway
COSTS were something: like $7O,00O,OoO
for the past fiscal year a
Turning to the $50 monthly basis:
he pointed out. that. such a plan. still
using the 10000 estimate for 65-year
olds and over, would cost $54 100000 a
year of which the States share would
be $27,000,0O0, or approximately the
cost Of operating North Carolina
public school system.
He said that agitation for increas-
ed old age pensions in other states
has caused considerable discussion CT
he subject in North Carolina. In this
connection he showed a letter from a
;toney Point man urging him to con-
slider and indorse the California pro-
oosal, the thirty dollars every Thurs
day plan which kicked William G
McAdoo out of the Senate and into
a $4,000 a year job, which will be
voted on by the far westerners at this
| falls elections.

Purchases to Prevent Furthe,
Decline in Prices Termed
Successful in Week.

e. the Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 21.-Government
purchases of eggs to prevent further
declines in prices became an actuality
last week, but were comparatively
small as the bare announcement of the
buying program had the desired effect
of raising quotations.
Aiding in the upward trend was a
growing belief that fresh production
in March would be little, if any.
heavier than last week, while April
and May promised smaller fresh re.
ceipts.
Wholesale egg quotations advanced
u to l cent dozen last week in the
big consuming centers and held most
OF the gains. Future deliveries were
also stronger, the March delivery
running up to cents in Chicago to
2l1s cents.
Reports on Government purchases
disclosed that only 10,590 dozens of
eggs were taken.
Lighter supplies of fresh and an
active trade served as enough stimula.
ton to support the butter market
Fresh 92-score butter held UNCHANGED
at 2sh cents pound, the price at
which Government stabilization buvino
has held the market. Futures, however
were stronger and March was up ~

FARMERS will market more hogs dur

ing year that ends September 30 than
went to market during these months
last year. according to the Hog Situa-
ton report released by the Bureau of
agricultural Economics.
The larger supply of market hogs
is to considerable extent Offset by
tne smaller storage stocks of pork and
lard on hand, it was pointed out.
consumer demand for hog products
IN the spring and summer of this
year, however, will be less favorable
tnan In the same period last year.
For the full period from now until
September 80, a larger proportion of
the total marketings will occur in the
late spring and early summer. A
smaller proportion of the total will
be marketed from midsummer to Sen.
tember 80.
The bureau report says, "The
changes in hog prices this spring and
summer will be more nearly normal
than they were a year earlier. Some
weakness in hog prices will develop
during the late spring and early sum-
mer as marketings of fall pigs increase
After midsummer prices NAV advance
somewhat with the seasonal reduction
in market supplies. This rise in prices
however, may be limited by the con-
tlnued weak consumer demand for
meats"
