Income on Tobacco, Cotton

farm of their own. In a single day
they have sold as much as $94
worth of products at the curb
market.
When land prices come down
for our son who is now studying
agriculture at college.
County Agent Foster says that
the Ruffins are among the most
energetic and enterprising farm
ers who sell at the market. "Al-
though they live 16 miles from
Wilson. farther than most of the
sellers, they are usually first to
arrive every market day-Wed-
nesday and Saturday. says Mr..
Foster.
And Miss Helen T. Wade,
county home demonstration agent
points out that the Ruffins' pro-
ducts are always of high quality
and are usually attractively ar
ranged on the curb market stands.
Grading and preparing farm
products for market are two I'M
portant lessons that we are try
ing to put over" states Miss
Wade.
Other important lessons which
the curb market sellers are learn
ing are: the monetary value of
vegetables, fruits, poultry and
poultry pdoducts; business arith-
metic; and then need for increased
production of sideline crops for
market.
Mr.. Ruffin whoissharesropping
40 acres, is now devoting three
and a half acres to vegetables.
The rest is in Gotten, corn
tobacco, peanutsand small past
ure for his cows and IA hogs. A
third of the receipts from his
cotton, corn, tobacco and peanuts
go to the landowner with whom
the Rufffns .'sharecrop, but the
income from his curb market sales
is all his.
So proficient as a curb market
seller has Mr.. Ruffin become that
he is now treasurer of the associ-
alton and a member of the advis-
DRY board. State Agent r. E.
Jones says that the operation of
this curb market simply demon
strates what a little guidance can
mean in hoping farmers to lift
themselves toward better living
and a secure place on the land.

Charles Ruffin, a colored share
rcropper Of Wilson County, N. G.
added S1.4O0 to his cotton and
tobacco income last year by sell
ing homegrown products at the
Wilson curb market.
my wife and I were worried
about the education of our child
rem a few years back, said Mr..
Ruffin when interviewed recently
THAT was before our country q
gent helped us start this curb
market; now we are not worried
at ALL he added.
And why should they be. -Four
of their children already are go
ing to college-three daughters
at North Carolina College in Dur
ham and a son at A. & T. College,
Greensboro, N. c. And the way
is paved through curb market
sales for the other five children
to enter college when they finish
high school.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ruffin begin
farming as sharecroppers in 1922.
Year after year until 1941 they
grew only cotton and tobacco for
market and could never seem TO
get ahead. In May Of 1941, County
Agent Carter w. Foster helped
the farmers of Wilson County to
organize an association and est
ablish a curb market.
On the opening day of the mar

eight other farm women sold only

years and my husband is good
provider but sometimes ross. We
have a nice home, no children. I
sometimes go out with a man that
I went with before I married. He
says he loves me and I love him
but it seems like we can't ever
get a chance to be with each other
because I always try to be nice
and respectable to my husband as
he is that way toward me Tell
me does the man care like he says
or am I loving in vain?
Ans: You're making a great, big
chump of yourself. The man is
flattered by the attentions Of a
married woman but I assure you
that his feeling for you isn't love.
Your husband is a swell fellow
but he would lose his temper and
give you the gate if he got wind
of your conduct. Respect your
marriage vows in the future.
M. N. il am writing to find
out if 1 will get the trip to Chi
cago that 1 want or is this friend
just bluffing?
Ans: His intentions are good
but he doesn't have that kind of
money. The only way you will
get to Chicago is to finance the
trip yourself.

much strength and courage 20 me
My problem is worrying ne very
much at this time. My husband
is a good man and I know that he

accept responsibility and be the
head of the family. He relies on
me to make all decisions and to
look after the home. Now I arr
wondering if this is the right way
to live after all he should take
his part of the responsibility.
Ans: His refusing to accept re-
possibility isn't a fault of great
consequence. He realizes that you
are a cracker-jack manager and
trusts your judgment about every
thing that arises. This is very
complimentary. With your initial
i've and ability to push him for
