Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Waller Hotel.

Raleigh, Sept. i0.--During the
Young Democrats convention here
last Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, there was observable defi-
mite, unmistakable trend tOdarW com
plete submission to the desires Of the
IpoWers that be, or rather in this
case of the power-to-be, next Gov
'ernor J. M. Broughton.
Not a decision was made on any
thing until Mr.. Broughton or his
Representatives had been consulted
and his okay been received. Nobody
knew anything about anything UNI
til word had come from the Brough-
ton sanctum on what was to be done.
More than one oldtimer who has
watched North Carolina politics fol-
years and years said that nothing
like it has been seen since the very
palmicst days Of the late Senator
IF. NJ. Simmons.
In 1924, Governor-to-be A. w.
Mclean had more than a modicum
Iof influence on decisions of all Demo-
cratic groups; in 1928 the Antelope
for President campaign threw every
thing into 4 state approaching chaos;

Appalachian
Outweighs
Carolina
By MARION ALEXANDER

Chapel Hill, Sept. 16.-1t'S moth
ing new for Carolina to go up against
some grid giant like Tulane or Ford
ham that outWeighs the Tar Heels
eight or ten pounds to the man. But
to be outWeighed by a smaller COL
lege like Appalachian for the sea-
ison-opener-that would seem TO DC
news.
And the Tar Heels will really be
outweighed when they make their
1910 bow against the North State
champs here Saturday in the main
event Of a High School Day pro-
gram expected to draw 4 crowd Of
$4,000.
The margin may not be so great,
but the visitors roster, just released
shows the Mountainous average 1874
in the line and 1875 in the bcakGield.
Although slightly heather than usual
this year, Cardinals figures are 1911
and 1873. And if you ask Coach Ray
Wolf. who figures Carolina should
be able to find few smaller rivals
somewhere and sometime, Appala-
chan may be a smaller college, but
it's not smaller team by any means
Lightest men on the Appalachian
eleven, which opened with Tampa
Saturday and which lost only four
games in as many years, are Eddie
Johnson, end, and Ernie Safrit,
back, at IT'S. Henderson Baker, who
led the North State Conference
scorers, weighs 1855. Co-Captain ana
quarterback Pete Hornfeck is l90-
pound eX-tacllle. And the others
range up to 230 for Ted Reitzle,
Little All-American" center in
1889.
Coach Red Watkins has a seasoned
team of veterans back from last
years championship outfit: Ten Of
the II starters are lettermen, and
the only newcomer is Mike Emody,
190-pound blocking back. The first
stringers and their weights are Sun
ny Newmyer 1875 at end; Co-Cap-
tain Charlie Manship 1913 and
George Watts 200 tackles; and Jack
Ruffing 1875 and Jim O'Toole 1872,
guards.
The weights on Cardinals veteran
starting outfit is distributed almost
IDENTICAL with Auualachian's and the
'ivalS and cohoStS for High School
Day will stack up almost even in
this department.
Lightweight among the starters is
Jim Lalanne, 17O-pound triple threat
and heavyweight is Carl Sunthei-
mer, 200-pound center, who falls
80 pounds short of Appalachian's
giant and little all-American rival.
Co-Captain Paul SEVERN and
Stewart Richardson at the ends
weigh 1875 and 1873. Co-Captain Gates
Kimball and Dick Sleek at the
tackles scale 1876 and 1872. Dick White
and Bill Faircloth at the guards
register 1872 and 1913. Harry Dunklc
and Roy Connor at the halves carry
1877 and 1872. And Sid Sadoff at full
is down to 1875 this year.

In ihe Sir NNalter Hotel.

Raicien. Sept. l6.-raul Leonard,
Far Tax Association secretary and
most impIacablC foe Of the sales tax
in North Carolina, has reached the
point where he is advising "indcpen-
dent voting in his campaign for
tossing the sales levy into the ash
can and for ECONOMY"
It seems that Paul believes party
lines should be disregarded in "a
critical period like the present.; but
certain modifying clauses in his let
ter to Fair Tax Association mem
bcrs indicate he hopes this ''inde-
pendent voting" will not go so far
as to completely unseat the party
now in power.
Here's Il paragraph from the let
ter illustrating this point:
1T is my honest and considered
opinion that the time has come when
we are justified in advocating in
dependent voting in the interest of
better government at lower cost. In
a critical period like the present, men
and measures should have precedence
in our thinking, and in our action at
the polls When political control is
threatened by independent minority
groups which display genuine cour-
age and determination, Il healthy
condition is frequently produced and
the ends of justice are attained with
out the actual overthrow Of those in
control"
Translating these generalities into
North Carolina political lingo, Mr.
Leonard's advice reads something
like this:
In order to get rid of the sales
tax, let's enough OF us vote for Re-

COTTON CHASING
SERVICE EXTENDED
Agriculture Department *
Anticipating Great De-
mand For CHASING
BY O U H. WILSON

RALEIGH, Sept. 1.-R-Antici-
pating the heaviest demand for
cotton CHASING in many years, the
state department of agriculture Of
fetal graders are now preparing
to double its free CHASING service
this season, A. B. Farley, chief
of the departments warehouse di-
vision, said today.
Cameron R. Reynolds and Joe
E. Throwbridge, federal licensed
graders, will be in charge Of the
CHASING service for the 1910 sea-
son.
North Carolina farmers n o W
have one of the most modern and
efficient CHASING and warehouse
systems in the United States"
Farley said. "The construction of
a two-story, brick, $50, 600 grading
and CHASING building here l a S t
season gives Tar Heel producers
greater facilities than they have
ever enjoyed"
A total of Is, 900 bales of cotton
we're grade and classed under the
supervision of the warehouse divi-
sion last year and in the IL ware
houses with a storage capacity 81
544, 759 bales, approximately 60 per
cent of the 1939-40 crop was stored.
Reynolds explained that all cot
ton classed by official graders will
be subject to the universal cottor
Standards" which means tn a
the service rendered will make
it possible for farmers to offer a
uniformly graded bale that will be
acceptable as collateral on gov
eminent loans or by banks" add
ing that Officially graded bales
are acceptable to buyers for mer
chants and shippers"
Farmers who use the facilities
Of the state bonded warehouses
are eligible to receive free cotton
CHASING services provided by the
department." he added. "In ad-
dition, these farmers will be given
free service in the field of market
ing"
The federal-state crop reporting
service in its latest survey indicat-
ed North Carolina farmers are ex-
pecting 588, 900 bales of cotton this
season, with a per acre yield of
342 pounds.
The 1910 cotton crop is expected
to be % per cent greater than
last year and the per acre Yield
indicated is expected to equal the

WEED MARKETING
WARNING ISSUED
Growers Advised To Be Care
full About Allowing Others
To Sell Weed

RALEIGH, Sept. 1.-Warning to
tobacco growers to be careful
about allowing other persons to
market their tobacco for them was
issued today by E. Y. Floyd, AAA
executive officer of N. c. State
college. He said several instances
have been reported where non-co
operators with the Triple-A pro-
gram have sold tobacco on the
marketing cards of cooperating
growers.
1.-THE tobacco marketing cards
are not transferable, and strict
penalties will result if a grower
allows another person to market
tobacco on his or her card" Floyd
said. IF a cooperating grower al
lows tobacco from another farm
to be marketed under his card, the
cooperating grower is liable for
the penalty of 10 cents per pound
on the entire amount of such to-
bacco.
Furthermore" the AAA official
said, the allotment for the farm
of the cooperating grower and the
allotment for the farm of the grow
er who misused the marketing
card will be reduced in the next
year in an amount equivalent to
the poundage of tobacco sold il.
legally"
Floyd said one case has been
reported where a woman grower,
who was without means of trans
porting her tobacco to market, ar
ranged with a truck oWner to sell
her tobacco. The truck owner was
a non-cooperator with the program
Che had overplanted his allotment}
and his tobacco was subject to the
penalty of 10 cents per pound. But
he used the woman's within quo
ia" marketing card to sell part of
his tobacco.
Where it is necessary for a grow
Ell to get somebody else to haul
his tobacco to market, the entry
on the marketing card should be
checked against the warehouse bill
and if these figures are not the
same, an immediate investigation
should be made" Floyd declared. 4

E. Y. Floyd Reports On Pay
ments To North Carolina
Farmers BY The AAA

a million dollars in 1910 cotton
parity payments have been paid
out to North Carolina growers by
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad.

ecutive officer of N. c. State col
lege. reported today. In addition.
about seventy-five thousand dollars
have been paid in wheat parity

said.
This is only about a fourth OF
the total parity payments expected
to be earned this year by coopera.
tors with the Agricultural Conser.
walton and price adjustment pro-
grams. North Carolina farmers re-
ceived 81, 728, 791 in parity pay
ments on their 1889 production.
Floyd also announced that ST.
1903, 1865. 90 have been distributed to
date out of an estimated $685.
305 earned in conservation pay
ments under the 1889 Triple-A pro-
gram. This years earnings in COM
pliance and soil-building payments
is expected to run much higher
because growers planted within to-
bacco allotments under the mar
keting quota program approved for
the 1910 flue-cured crop. The 1899
crop was produced without mar
keting quotas, and many farmers
overplanted their allotments, thu
losing their compliance payments
Under the 1888 program, North
Carolina farmers earned $14, 503,-
81 Gin conservation payments, and
under the 1887 program the earn
ings totaled $1,000, 900.
Floyd said that only Tennessee

agricultural conservation payments

MADISON FARMERS
PRODUCING BEANS
500 Acres Cultivated Through
Contracts With An East
Tennessee Cannery

: MARSHALL, Sept. Farmers
Of Madison county are turning
from Burley tobacco production to
the growing of green beans, P. R.
Elan, county farm agent of the
State college Extension service, re-
ported today. He estimates that
500 acres of beans were grown in
the county this year, and through
contracts with an east Tennessee
cannery, the average profit p e r
acre will be about $50.
Elan cited the experience of AL
bert Haney, a member of tn
Spring Creek All Club and the son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. D. B. Haney of
Bluff, to show the profit possible
from this crop. The boy harvested
254 bushels of beans in three pick
ings. Because his entire crop class
ed as Grade A" beans at the
cannery, he received IS cents per
bushel for his produce.
This gave him a gross return
of $685. 10. He spent $500 for two
bags of 4-10-4 fertilizer; the cost
of picking the crop was $50, and
the cost of working and hauling
the beans was SIS, making a total
production cost of $48. go. This left
him a net return of $16.5O on the
beans alone.
However, Elan said, 1.-The
vines were harvested and cured to
make approximately two tons of
hay. This was worth about $50,
giving him a net profit of STAG. So"
This was an enterprise which re-
quired only 10 weeks from planting
to harvest time, the farm agent
explained. He also said that the
boys's father is planning to replace
his entire tobacco acreage with
beans next year, and wishes he
had done it this year."
Elan reported that bean produc-
ton in Madison county is centered
in the Meadow Fork community.
The farmers of that area h a e
been growing snap beans for a
number Of years, and the East
Tennessee cannery had contracts
this year for 200 acres in that COM
munity. 4

Raw Vegetable Salads
Popular In Cherokee

MURPHY, Sept. Raw vege-
table salads are finding an in
creasingly important place in the
diet of Cherokee county farm
families, says Miss Alline Rich
ardsOn. home agent of the State
College Extension service.
Farm hOme-makers who have
always served cooked vegetables
to their families report the raw
salads have been a welcome
change at mealtime. Easy to pre-
pare, these salads also are
healthful, since none of the yalu-
able vitamins is destroyed by
cooking.
Demonstrations in preparing
these salads were shown at
monthly home demonstration
club meetings.
