SERMON ON WAR is
HEARD BY PRESIDENT

Hyde Park, N. Y, Sept. 11.-(AP)
President Roosevelt drove through
rain Sunday to the same tiny Episco-
pal church where he and King
George vi of England worshipped
together three months ago.
With his mother by his side, he
heard Rev. Frank r. Wilson read
one Of the lessons from the second
chapter of Habakkulz, in which the
Lord speaks to the prophet Habak-
kuk.
because thou has plundered
many nations" Mr.. Wilson read,
"all the remnant of the peoples shall
plunder thee, because of mems blood,
and for the violence done to the land,
TO the city and to all that dwell
therein"
After the services, the President
returned to his home where di-
rect telephone wire from Washing
ton brought him the State Depart
nents latest information on the war
overseas.
Mr.. Roosevelt had no appoint
ments for the day, but few friends
and neighbors dropped in during the
afternoon.

w. Il. Moss Attains
Success With F arm
Near Youngsville

FranklintOn, Sept 11.-W. T. Moss,
of Youngsville, watches little things
about his farm, and therein lies
much of the reason for his success,
believes w. c. Boyce, Franklin coun-
ty farm agent of the State College
Extension Service.
On recent visit to the West Edge
combe test farm, Moss observed that
livestock east first the grass grown
on fertilized plots. This bore out an
observation he had made on his own
farm.
At another time, this Franklin
county farmer noticed his colts on
pasture eating red clay which had
been removed from the ground
where post holes had been dug. The
animals eating this clay were being
led a mineral mixture containing
bone meal, lime, and salt
After thinking the problem over,
he arrived at the conclusion that the
animals were not getting enough iron
in their diet. So he added this ele-
ment to the ration.
These and other observations led
him to the Well-founded rationaliza-
ton that animals will balance their
diet by picking up feed essential for
proper development if given an op-
portunity.
For this reason alone" Agent
Boyce commented, pastures shoulc.
receive regular applications of fer
tlllzer. This material, of course, will
increase the quantity of feed pro-
duced, which in turn will provide
grazing for more animals"
Many Franklin county farmers,
like MIR. Moss, are putting plant food
INTO their pastures Lime and triple
uperphospatie, obtained as grants of
ala through the AAA program, are
making for better grazing over the
htlre county, Agent Boyce said.

Motor Trucks
Fill Big Need

Raleigh, Sept. 11-Centering OF at
tentiOn on war uses OF trucks ana
other heavy motor transportation IN
these days of mechanical army units
should not obscure the fact that they
serve peacetime purposes as well, Z.
S. Schaub, of Apex, president OF the
North Carolina Truck Owners AS
sociation, said today.
eve see in the papers how the
German army has been able to pene-
trate Poland much faster than any
one thought possible because OF the
efficiency of its motorized units
tanks, heavy trucks for men and
equipment, artillery, and so on, ">sald
Mr.. Schaub, "but nothing much has
ever been said in the papers about
the fact that in North Carolina,
where peace still reigns, slightly
more than forty percent OF all towns
and communities are dependent en-
tirely upon motor trucks as their on
ly means of overland freight trans
portation. The figures show 1929
communities so served, or a percent
age of 40.4."
He pointed out that our large cities
ere depending more and more upon
truck transportation for their sup
plies of perishable foodstuffs.
prices of all consumer food pro-
ducts are soaring rapidly as result
OF the war;" he continued, "and they
would soar much more rapidly but
for the efficiency of transportation
service, with trucks contributing
very largely to that efficiency"
Then, with the ever-eXisting urge
of the business man to talk about the
nandicaps of taxation, he added:
"And the prices of these truck
transported commodities such as
fruits, vegetables, milk, and SO forth
would be lower than they are if it
we're not for the heavy taxation of
motor transportation"

2. In an effort to rid themselves of
competition from North Carolina,
Virginia planters in 1879 secured the
passage of an act prohibiting ship
ment of tobacco grown in North Car
olina through her ports. Carolina's
undeveloped ports at that time forced
the use of Virginia ports. Tobacco
planters in North Carolina suffered
under this act until it was repealed
in 1871 by the King of England.
3. In addition to license taxes COL
lected from each A. B. c. Store the
State collected $480,709 in sales taxes.

North Carolina in that year had had
shipped by boat from Washington to
Charleston a lot of dry goods and six
hogsheads (737) gallons of rum to be
used as gifts to the Cherokee Indians.
South Carolina held the ships cap
tain liable for duties on the entire
shipment, regardless of the fact that
it was for public use. At that time
North Carolina had not adopted the
United States Constitution and was
considered as a foreign country.

PRICE OF PEANUTS
ADVANCING RAPIDLY

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. III.
Apparently the old law Of supply
and demand is still functioning for
the peanut market, DR.. I. o. Schaub,
director Of the State College Exten-
sion Service, commented today.
Quoting report of the U. S. Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics, DR.
Schaub said: ''It has been long time
since the peanut market was as
strong and as active as it is at the
present time"
The supply of old crop peanuts in
both the Virginia and North Caro-
lima areas and in the southeastern
states is extremely light. Buyers in
the city markets, concerned over the
prospects Of shortage which might
shut down their factories, have been
willing to pay much higher prices
than have prevailed recently. This
is especially true for Virginia type
peanuts.
