Farm Markets
Turn Easier

Raleigh, May 6.-Feed markets
turned slightly easier during the past
week as wheat feeds declined after
reaching the seasons peak late in
April, the u. S. and North Carolina
Departments of Agriculture says in
the weekly market news service re-
view. Demand was less urgent since
feeders and feed manufacturers had
apparently supplied their most press
ing needs and were unwilling to pay
recent high premiums. The index
number however, was not materially
changed and stood at 1850 compared
with 1858 a week ago.
North Carolina strawberry sales
scared to a mid-season record, in
fluenced by abridged receipts. At the
periods close in New York best mis-
sionarys wholesaled at 16 to II cents;
blakemores at 18 to 20 and Klon-
dykes at 20 to 26 cents per quart.
The live poultry market during
the past week has been slow but the
tone has been about staedy. Closing
quotations on all sizes of colored fowl
in Washington, net FOB. to Ship
pers, were II to 18 cents and on mix
ed colored fryers, IA to Is. In Phil
adelphia, 3 IL pound up, rock fryers
and broilers closed at 18 to 10 cents
per pound.
Receipts of eggs at the markets
have been increasing steadily since
February and during the weeks
ending April %, receipts were per-
cent above last year. The into-stor-
age movement of frozen eggs has
been above last year throughout this
season, and since April Is the move
ment of shell eggs has been above
last year Egg prices at the periods
close were about steady for the bet
ter grades but slightly weaker for
tle intermediate and lower grade.

Cotton Work
Being Urged

COLLEGE Station, Raleigh, May g.
A. part of an effort to unite and CO.
ordinate all parts of the cotton in
du@try. Al North Virginia
INIT of the National Cotton Council
Is now being organized under the
leadership of T. B. Upchurch, Jr.. of
Raelord, Hoke county, graduate of
state College and one of the LEADING
tanners in eastern Carolina.
The council is appealing to all in
tcrested 10 have some part in bring
inc back cotton as profitable crop
TO the South. 1t is recognized that
there is a greater surplus of the
staple than at any other time in the
history of the crop and that the price
of cotton is lower than at any other
time.
Mr. Upchurch says an effort will
be made to stimulate the consump-
ton of both cotton and cotton seed
through advertising and other means
Considerable attention also will be
given to methods of improving the
qualities of cotton and the existing
methods of handling so that the
staple may be more readily market
ed
Attention will be given to foreign
markets that the demand for Amer
lean cotton will be expanded. Seem
tific research with the crop will be
fostered especially in the field of de-
vclOping new uses for the staple as
well as for the seed and all other bv-
products of the plant.
MIR. Upchurch says the Council is
composed of representatives of pro-
ducerS, ginners, warehousemen, mer-
chants and cottonseed crushers from
each of the states comprising the cot
ton belt of the United States.
At the present time units are being
organized in each of the cotton grow
ing counties in North Carolina and
an effort will be made to raise So
500 which is North Cardinals quota
OF the fund being secured for the
effort to rebuild the cotton suprem-
acy of the South.

By NEWMAN CAMPBELL

Included in today's lesson is the
story we told some weeks ago of
Paul going to Athens and telling the
Athenians about the unknown
God," to whom he found they had
raised an altar.
The lesson today is principally
about Paul's labors in Corinth, which
was the political capital Of the
Greeks, large and important town
said to have been a wicked city,
where vice ran rampant.
Paul went to the synagogue try
ing to convert the Jews by reason
ing with them, but it was hard work
and they were so opposed to his
teaching and so blasphemous that he
was much depressed-"pressed in
spirit" The Bible says. Finally he
lost his temper, ''shoOk his raiment
and said unto them, Your blood be
upon your own heads; am clean:
from henceforth l will go unto the
Gentiles'." He told them that he was
through with them-at least for the
time being-ard that he would &C
out and try to save the Gentiles who
might listen to him.
So he left the synagogue and went
to the house of man named JustuS
who lived nearby, and who worship
ped God with all his household. But
one cheering thing was that Crispus
chief of the synagogue, believed on
the Lord with all his house, and sc
did many. of the Corinthians who
hearing the gospel, believed and were
baptized.
Paul, being much depressed by the
unbelieving Jews, had a vision in
the night wherein the Lord appear
ed to him and said, "Be not afraid
but speak, and hold not thy peace
for I am with thee: and no man shall
set on thee to hurt thee: for | have
much people in the city"
Even Paul, brave as he was, need
ed encouragement and assurance
The vision must have been a great
comfort to him, for he stayed in
Corinth for about 18 months and es-
tablished one of the strongest of the
early churches and one which main
tanned its prestige for centuries.
Writing later to the Corinthians
Paul said: "And I, brethren, when
I came to you, came not with ex-
cellency of speech or of wisdom, de-
claring unto you the testimony OF
God," and later in the letter, "And
1 was with you in weakness, and in
fear, and much trembling"
Doesn't it seem to make this man.
who is now called saint, very hui
man and near to us, when you read
how nervous and timid he was when
he entered this wicked city to con-
vert its people? His fear did not pre-
vent him from doing his work, how
ever.
Writing later to Timothy, in the
book of that name, the second epistle,
he tells him to endure hardness, as
a good soldier of Jesus Christ"
The last reference in the weeks
reading is Psalm 27, verses one to
six. We cannot do better than to
memorize these words:
'sThe Lord is my light and my
salvation; whom shall I fear? The
Lord is the strength of my life; OF
whom shall 1 be afraid? When the
wicked, even mine enemies and my
foes, came upon me to eat up my
flesh, they stumbled and fell: Though
| host should encamp against me

unto him, Lord, evermore give us

them, am the bread of life: he

Raleigh, May 6.-Western North
Carolina now presents the greatest
problem for the State Rural Elec-
IRRIGATION Authority, Dudley Bagley,
REA director, said today.
He indicated that efforts of the
Authority will be conferred in that
section in an increasing measure.
Even a casual look at the cleo
tfiiication may of the State shows
that progress has been faster in the
east than in the west, and it is the
plan of the Authority to press for
the construction of more lines in the
western part of the state.

FEAR or COMMUNISM

Tho situation In Great Britain Is highlighted by e consuming fear of communism. If the war drags on Q year or 50, most leaders of the Conservative government agree that 1t can only end in communism on both sides,
 This was the report which Ambassador Kennedy brought
 back to the President = and probably he ls right.
 Therefore, British industrialists and nt least three members of the British government Chamberlain, simon and Hoare) lean anxiously toward any peace which would slave off tho dread spectre of radical labor rule in England.
 Also 1t Is important to recall that in October, 1888, just after Munich, the British tactfully sug- gested to Hitler that he might satisfy his territorial hunger at tho expense of the Russian Ukraine, rather than disturb the peace of Europe over Poland,
 So now lt k quite consistent for the British Co fall In with

 It Is important to note. however. that by no means oil Of the Brl- tish Cabinet hold this view. Prime Minister Chamberlain holds it, though even he would not 20 along on any peace with Germany unless Hitler bowed out. He is adamant on that point. Several other members of the Cabinet hold much more vigorous views that the

No Lead Soldiers

Air Lines Boom

From the day the war first started, American airlines have been enjoying az era Of unprecedented prosperity. It was natural, with sea lanes crippled, that trans-oceanic planes should find them selves in for good times. But the airline managers were even more satisfied to discover that the pickup in business extended over the entire field of flying.
 In their l2 years of operations, nothing has pushed airlines ahead quite as much as the war. A lot of people, including the airline managers, might wish that some other factor might have been responsible for the boom; but 1t Is here, no matter how 1t got here, and tho air transport people are going to make the most of It.
 Aviation has come long way in dozen short years. There is still much progress to be made. If interest in air travel con- tinues to pick up, another 12 years may see even more phenomenal advances.
