Removal of Toll* at Cause

Dally Dispatch Bareaa,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BT J C. BASKEUVILL.
Raleigh, July 20.—Thousands of
people are already crossing the bridge
and causeway from the mainland over
to Wrightsville Beach, now that they
1 have been thrown open to the public
without any tolls, and the people of
Wilmington and Wrightsville are do
ing everything possible for the public
general to visit the beach and enjoy
the surf a minimum of expense,
Chairman E. B. Jeffress of the State
Highway and Public Works Commis
sion said today on his return from
the formal opening of the causeway.
“While it is still necessary for those
visiting Wrightsville Beach to park
their cars on Harbor Island, rz is not
necessary for them to take the street
cars to get to the surf or a batning
said. “For the people of Wilmington
beach unless they want to,” Jeffrey
and Wrightsville have already provid
ed a public bathing beach right across
the bridge from Harbor sland, opposite
where the old Oceanic Hotel used to
be, with life guards, where the public
may bathe without any cost whatever.
Consequently, people may drive over
to Harbor Island, park their tars there
and then walk less than two blocks
and be at this public bathing beach.
No public bath house has yet been pro
vided, but indications are that one
will be if conditions justify one.’’
It is still necessary to take a street
car from Harbor Island t 0 get down
to Lumina and to the cottages at the
lowefl end of the beach, Chairman
Jeffress said, but pointed out that
the’-e were many cottages within easy
cwalking distance of Harbor sland and
that it was not a long walk down to
the Seashore Hotel. Later on, the
town of Wrightsville Beach plans to
open up a street up to the north end
of the beach, so that whenever the
highway commission is able to extend
its roadway over to the beach proper,
cars may be driven on up the beach.
“The people both in Wilmington and
Wrightsville seem to realize that thfo
more accessable the beach is made to
the public, the better off every one
will be and cooperating in doing every
thing possible to that end,’’ Jeffress
said. “They told us that more peo
ple visited Wrightsville Beach last
Sunday than had been there in months
due almost entirely to the fact that the
tolls had been removed from the
causeway.’’

As It Was
The larger European powers now
are lined up exactly as they were im
mediately prior to the outbreak of
the World War. France has brought
Great Britain and Russia to her side.
Germany has Italy—which swung to
the allies when the World War broke
out.
Two years ago France was alone.
Great Britain and Russia leaned to
ward Germany. Then the fear of
Hitlerism or Naziism arose—as did the
fear of Napoleon (in France) more
than a century ago.

bushels per year. This means the old
wheat supply of 277,000,000 bushe’ls
will be cut by more than 115,000,000
bushels and will be brought down to
what Is termed a “safe” minimum;
The 3934 bread harvest will average
only about 3.9 bushels per person,
, compared with 4.3 bushels last year,
6.6 bushels in 1129, and 9.7 bushels in
1901. The balance between the supply
of and the demand for wheat is now
the closest it has been in a decade.
The United States is not the only
country whose crops are suffering.

is reported in the Argentine and in
Australia. Ordinarily the news of a
short crop abroad would mean a price
rise in this country. This year the
overseas situation will have little ef
fect on domestic quotations because of
the spread alredy existing between
foreign and domestic prices.
Retail Food Prices Rising
Among the other major crops, oats
and tobacco hve been most seriously
affected by the drought. Chiefly bc
cuse of small acreage, the cotton crop
will be far below normal. The corn
output, while smaller than in 1933,
will be only 15 per cent below average
Crops are the worst In the north
western states of Montana, the Da
kotas, Minnesota, and parts of Wis
consin and Nebraska, but the entire
area, from California and Oregon on
the west, sweeping east to western
New York, and going s far south as
northern Texas, has been more or less
affected. As a result, farmers in New
England and' the Southeast, where
moisture has been more normal, are
in a favored position.
In the dairy industry the drought
is likewise a big factor. Pasture con
ditions are the worst on record. The
hay crop is exceedingly poor. Feed
prices are rising rapidly. Milk pro
duction is running well below a year
ago. The combination of these factors,
plus increasing consumption, has al
ready brought higher cheese and but
ter quotations. So far milk has been
less sensitive t 0 drought conditions,
but every indication points to sharp
ly higher retail prices for milk as well
as for bread, meat, eggs and veget
ables during coming months. Already
retail food prices are 45 per cent above
k the depression low and about 10 per
cent above a year ago.
No Food Shortage in Sight
March, 1933, was the low point for
farm prices. Since that date quota
tions for all farm products have ad
vanced 57 per cent on an average and
are now the highest since July, 1931.
Last year’s farm Income rose 24 per
cent above the previous year. The
farmer’s purchasing power, however,
has not increased similarly because
articles which he must buy have ad
vanced about 20 per cent. The ef
forts of the AAA to increase farmers'
purchasing power have been largely
nulified by increasing manufacturing
costs under the NRA. On the whole,
however, the average farmer is today
better off than he was a year ago.
Naturally the drought is hard ora
the farmers whose crops have been
ruined, but those in other parts of
the country will benefit from the
crop disaster in the central north
west. Furthermore, the government
will prevent suffering on any large
scale by the expenditure of $525,000,-

000 in relief money. While the situa
tion is considered very serious from
the food standpoint, there are no
for fear of famine. The
carry-over of last year’s crops will
provide ample food supplies for 1934-
35. The net result of the crop short
age will be to speed the adjustment
between supply and demand of agri
cultural products and to strengthen
the entire farm price structure. If
*£he objective of the AAA is sound—
to cut production—then we mu&t re
gard the 1934 drought as a blessing
in disguise.
Own A Farm Home
With our faltering recovery, fail
ing crops, rising cost of living and
heavily unbalanced budget, the spectre
of inflation looms in the background.
In every reader’s mind there probably
is the question: “How can I protect
myself against inflation?” My answer
to this question is “Buy a small home
with land enough for a good vegetable
garden, and raise a family of spirit
ually-minded, healthy, industrious and
intelligent children.’’
Studies of the course of inflation in
pther countries show beyond doubt
that owners of homes or small farms
weathered the upheaval most success
fully. There is something instinctive
in humanity which forces men to turn
to land, buildings and other real prop
erty in times of violent financial
storm. Hence, while you are vaca
tioning or touring the country, my ad
vice is to spend part of your time
looking around for an attractive farm
or home. They are tne ••cyclone cel
lars” of an inflationary period.”
Business, as registered by the Bab
sonchart, is now four per cent below
a year ago, and 21 per cent below
normal. I
