WHERE OUR FARM ILL STARTED In speeches he is making' in South Dakota, Senator Peter Norbeck declares that the plight of agriculture harks back to the drastic deflationary policy inaugurated under the Wilson Administration in 1920. “Democrats blame Hoover for the depression,” the Senator says, “and yet when Wilson in augurated his deflation policy Hoover was in England.” Senator Norbeck is absolute ly right and what he is saying ought to be more generally em phasized. Every fai-mer in America will remember that the slump that hurt him first and worst occurred in the au tumn of 1920. ulen who sold wheat at $2.50 a bushel in July sold corn at 25c a bushel in De cember. Bankers who had been lU'ged by the Federal Reserve Board only a few months pre viously to lend freely, were or dered by the Board in Novem ber to force collections.. The complaint throughout the coun try in 1920 was the high cost of living. The answer of the Democratic Administration tc that complaint was to deflate agricultural prices and it ac complished it through drastic restriction of credit. The deflation really began ii December, 1919. In that montl the Federal Resei’ve Board o Democrats put into effect thi increase in rates on advanc the Federal Reserve B still composed of Democ notified all member banks loans from centi'al institu must be reduced.

You may think I’m blowing political bubbles. But you are cutting your own throat. If you’re a man that’s true to country. And love your church and state as well, Then go to the polls and do your duty— And thus preserve that old Liberty Bell. You may own your thousands of fertile acres. Stretching from the mountains to the sea. But you are playing with the undertakers When you ignore that blood-bought liberty. Houses, lands and factories will fail you When your country shall go w'reck; or these would be woi'thless and money too. Should anarchy sweep across the deck. All that We have is our Republican government. In this old world of material w'ealth; All else here wmuld not be worth a cent. And that wouldn’t seem so good for our health. Our ships that plough the seas abroad. Each bears aloft the gallant Stars and Stripes, And every true American is glad to applaud When Old Glory is raised to lofty heights. So don’t be a slacker wlien the time comes to vote, But arise and go and do a loyal citizen’s part; ’Twas brave men who first our Constitution wrote, And no other document is so dear to our heart. 1 HEARD AROUND | I THE COURT HOUSE I >QD^MDC&— (BY .1. C. STANCIL) When we stop and think we ali know that Vice President Curti.s is right when he charges that the de pression was started by Wilson’s Federal Reserve Board in the yeai 1920, when after flooding the coun try with cheap money, they ^ sudden ly called it in. That one act, the late Richard Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturer’.s Record, said had caused io.sses to the people of tliis country amounting 'to more than fifty billions of dollars. It does not take an old person to remember how within a few months after this deflation was started by the Wilson Administration cotton 'dropped from above 40 cents to be low 10 cents per pound, and hun dreds of Johnston County farmers who had bought high-priced land, saw their savings of a life time .swept away. This was the blow that crippled us, and we have never been able to recover from it.

Every far mer ought to remember that it was the drastic deflation put into effect by tire Democratic Federal Reserve Board of the Wilson Administration which brought upon him the “colossal losses” against which Mr. ?vle- Adoo and Mr. Gai'ner protest ed.

CREECH, of County Boai’d of Elections. Many clo.^e observers who have been watching the progress of the present national political campaign, have become convinced that Pre-i- ent Hoover is gaining, and that iooseveit is losing g-round eacii day. Thousands of voters all ocer tlcc lo'mio troubles to Hoover, and Republican .Administration. Bu’ e the campaign has gotten start up in earnest, and the.se voter: ■now hearing and reading both and his followers have nothing to offer for the betterment of the country, and that if any should novr turn their backs on Hoover thcy would be deserting their best friend. Many of the .best informed people have become convinced that the thing that is now doing the most harm in the way of keeping down the prices of farm produce is th- fear of Democratic rule in Wash ington. When we stop-and think, , we arc bound to give President Hoover and the Republican national admini.-tra tion credit for having done more to aid the farmers, as well as the banks, railroads, insurance compa nies, and ' everybody else in this country than lias ever before been done by anybody in the history of this nation. Had it not been for tjie govern ment crop loans which were plan ned by Mr. Hoover, there would have been thousands of farmers in this section who could not have .se cured supplies with which to have made crops in 1932. And when did anybody ever before loan money to farmers at o 1-2 percent interest ? Every farmer should think of the.sc things when casting his vote on N0vember 8th.

I THE GOVERNOR FORGOT When in his San Francisco speech Franklin D. Roosevelt, declared that, “The American people were deceived and de frauded into purchasing bil lions of 'dollars worth of for eign securities,” and when he added, “there seems to have been no attempt at governmen tal protection against this out rage,” he apparently had com pletely forgotten that in 1922 he was the president of a cor poration known as the United European Investors Limited which sold to the American public a vast .quantity of Ger man marks on the assumption they would turn out to be a safe, sound, conservative in vestment. It is certainly an un common situation for a candi- because the Government did not protect the people against the outrage he was perpetrat ing upon them. CUT FERTILIZER BILL WITH FALL LEGUMES The shortage of feed caused by the dry weather of the past summer and the prevailing low prices for farm produce make it imperative ;hat winter-growing crops be plant ed in North Carolina this fall. Returning from field trips over the State this week, extension work ers at State College report consid- ei'able interest in the planting of winter hay crops. Farmers are reas oning that while it may not rain so abundantly in summer, the State^ is apparently well blessed with moist ure in winter an'd the recent rains have furnished . ideal conditions for planting legumes and small grains. _ These crops grow from October to | Does adverti.sing pay? A-k B. F. Proctor, owner of the Lee Store. He'had sixteen clerks as busy as bees when this paper went to pre;-is today at noon. The Johnstonian-Sun Job Department printed several thousand posters for the big sa'e now going on at this store. This same poster appears in this paper- today. Read it. May and Can be so managed that they will not conflict with the principal summer crops such as corn, cotton, tobacco, peanuts, soy beans and le-pedeza. Another argument used is that fall-planted legumes- and small grains occupy the land at a time when it would otherwise be bare and exposed to the leaching out- process of solube plant food, and to the erosion of the soil itself. While the chief advantage of winter hay crops is that they fur nish a good crop of fresh feed at a time when it is likely to be low, there is another advantage, especial ly where legumes are grown, that the fertilizer bill may be reduced and the land put in such shape thp.t what fertilizer is used will pay bet ter returns. It is not expected that farmers will have much m.ore money than they had la.st spring. For that reason it is only good insurance to take advantage of suitable growing weather in winter to fill the land with humus and organic matter. Limestone and legumes are be ing rated as important soil builders in North Carolina this season and indications are that both will be us ed to a greater extent than in the past, say the field specialists.
