a $50 maximum.
In view of North Cardinals law
prohibiting the payment from the
states funds of more than SIS per
month to any recipient it is obvious
that the amendment is meaningless
insofar as the state is concerned.
AS a matter Of fact, said Mr.. Yel-
ton. there are only 252 recipients in
North Carolina now getting $50 ($15
fro mthe state and county, $15 from
the Federal governnent.)
After January l, however, the
Federal government will pay one
half instead of one-third of aid to
dependent children benefits, (which
will have the very practical effect of
increasing by exactly one-third the
payments in North Carolina. Should
it be decided to use all the increase
in paying higher benefits to present
recipients it would make the aver
age child receive $7.88 instead of the
current $5.91 for example.
1t is likely, however, that only a
part of the increase will be used in
increasing average payments and the
remainder in increasing the total
number of recipients.

Old Age Pay
Is Changed
: Very Little
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 11.-Figures for
July, first month of the new fiscal
biennium, show there was very little
change from the old year either IN
number of recipients Of old age as
sistance or in the average benefits
paid each in North Carolina.
During July, 33,078 recipients re-
ceived an average Of $3.50 each,
while in May, typical month OF the
a'old fiscal year, the corresponding
figures were 32,645 and 1888.
Director Nathan Yelton, OF the
Public Assistance Division, said, how
ever. that August figures will more
clearly reflect the fact that the 1889
legislature did appropriate fundS
enough to increase the number of
beneficiaries by nearly 1000, tnougn
the average benefits will remain
about the same as in the past. The
divisions estimate OF available 1tlnoS
has set the quota for the coming year
at 36,179 recipients.
For July, payments were maze
through the old age assistance route
to 656 widows of Confederate vet
Grams who were transferred to the
old age rolls under legislation enact
ed this year. These 656 received aver
age payments of S25.22 each, the law
requiring that they be paid not less
than the $25 per month they got un-
der the old pension payment plan.
On the aid to dependent children
side of the slate, July figures showed
a total of 21,295 children receiving
an average of S591 each through a
total expenditure of S125, 1892.
Mr.. Yelton said that by the end OF
August the work of acting upon ap-
plications of the old age beneficiaries
will be added to the rolls will have
been completed He said that there
will also beb numerous widows ad-
ded to the old age rolls by transfer
from the pension lists.
. Commenting on the amendments
adopted by Congress to the social
security act, Mr.. Yelton said they
will have practically no effect what
ever on North Cardinals payments
to the aged, but will add just one
third to the amount available for pay
ment to dependent children after
January l.
He pointed out that the most i'm
portant amendment does not and can
not have the slightest effect in this
state. That was the amendment pro-
viding that the Federal government
will match dollar for dollar State
payments for the aged up to $40 per
month total from both agencies. At
present the matching extends only to

years. Eliminate livestock prices and
the picture is even worse for the
average farmer Cor better for the
city man, whichever side of the
fence you're on). The grains and
cotton are having the toughest 60
ing. The corn crop is a monster
even bigger than last year and prices
are way down. The combined WIN
ter and spring wheat harvest, how
ever, promises to be 20 per cent
smaller than year ago, due to poor
growing conditions in South Dakota
and Kansas.
The foreign crop will be about
6OO,0OO,OO0 bushels less than 1888,
but total world wheat supplies this
year will smash all records. The
price record has already been crack
ed wide open. Wheat5sprices in the
Liverpool market have been driven
down to the lowest level in all-time
-ooWefsseven than during the early
days of Queen Elizabeths reign.
The cotton crop will be little small
ler than last season, but prices are
only slightly better The New Deal
has wrecked our foreign market for
cotton so completely that even if
our crop were 80 per cent smaller
we would still have a big surplus
over our domestic needs.
Farm Dollar Holding Its Own
Vegetable prices are just $3.50,
but they are up 10 per cent from
last summer. Poultry men are not so
well Off as year ago. Farm flocks
are bigger, egg output greater, prices
less. Dairy farmers are not feeling
too happy either, with milk and but
ter selling for 10 per cent less than
last summer. The silver lining in
the dairy cloud is the low cost of
feed. Low hog prices contrast with
the relatively good prices for beef
and lamb. Compared with last year,
fruit ranchers have Jared the best
OF all the farm groups. Fruit prices
could not have dropped much be-
low a year ago anyway.
The buying value of the farm dol
lar, however, is holding its own.
This means that, despite the sag in
farm prices, the farmers costs have
also dropped-including farm wages,
living costs, and production costs.
Last summer, the ratio of prices re-
ceived to prices paid by farmers
(normal, or 100, was 19O9-1914),
stood at "a. Today, the figure is
about the same. 1t was SO in 1887,
at it's lowest (60) in 1882, at its
highest (105) in 1920. In this simple
ratio lies the answer to one of the
biggest political riddles of recent
years: Why didn't the New Deals
carefully fostered courtship of farm
ers and laborers get anywhere?

GOOD YEAR FOR THE
EVER-POPULAR PEACH

Standing on its merits as dessert
fruit, the peach has long been popu-
lar. Even before man began to keep
historical tab on himself he was eat
ing peaches fresh out OF hand. And,
later when he learned about pre-
serving foods by drying and can
ming, he saw to it that some OF each
seasons crop was put away SO ne
could enjoy peach flavor the year
round
This year there's many bite OF
melting goodness still in store tor
peach fanciers of the United States.
For the best peach news OF 1899 con-
Germs the crop grown by the States
supplying the market now and on
through to early October. Altogether
the crop this year is larger than
usual, considerably bigger than last
years peach crop
From this large selection the
woman who "knows her peaches" S"
should be able to find what she
wants-for table use now, to can,
to pickle, or to make into preserves
or butter. At this time of the year,
freestone peaches are most popular
for table use They're preferred for
home canning, too. But for picking
and for canning commercially, cling
stones are ordinarily used.
Never pass snap judgment on
peaches when looking them over to
buy-advise the expert fruit graders
A peach with a rosy blush may be
a thing of beauty, but it's not neces-
sarily a ripe peach-unleSS the back
ground color has also changed from
its original green to whitish or yel-
lowish.
If the peaches aren't to be used i'm
mediately, they needn't be full ripe
when they are bought. But they
should be mature enough so that they
will ripen. Test of this is also the
: "ground' color. If the green has
started to "break" is, turr
whitish or yellowish- peach
should ripen satisfactorily. If the
background color is an unbrOker
green instead-the peach may de-
velop a pale color-have a tough
leathery flesh with little flavor
and shrivel as it ripens.
Good peaches are also fairly firm
This is evident from the appearance
of the fruit-or from examining on
or two Of the lot. It's not good shop
ping etiquette to pinch every peach
Each pinch means another bruise.
Badly bruised peaches are waste
full to buy. The flesh underneath the
bruise will be soft and discolore(
and must be thrown away. Although
ideally, peaches should have M
bruises, most buyers learn to b.
broad-minded about a few mino
ones. Overmature or soft peaches ar,
wasteful to buy, too-except for i'm
mediate eating. They bruise yer,
easily and soon break down.

farmer knows that the only way he
can afford to support wage unions
is by establishing price union of
his own and charging as high a price
scale for his product as the union
does for its product. To do this, the
farmer would have to get So per
dozen for eggs, so cents a quart for
milk, and So per pound for steak.
The farmer believes that prosper
ity will return in America only as
we produce more goods for less
money. That is why I am bullish on
the outlook for business this fall
despite low prices for farm products.
Not generally known is the fact that
business recoveries have come more
often with low prices and good crops
than with high prices and short
crops. Why? Because big crops mean
more jobs on farms, more hustle in
farm towns, more activity in farm
canneries and storage houses, more
traffic on farm railroads short,
more business in farm regions, more
total purchasing power in the nation.
Food Lowest in Five Years
furthermore, big crops mean that
food bills will stay low and families
can buy more food. These bills are
now the lowest ihSfive years. If the
city man plays the game square,
and keeps his wages and prices low,
the farmer, in turn, can buy more
products from the city mans factory.
So, as long as prices stay down,
every one receives more goods. After
