Royalty
Fittccr. years ago the new* that!
the Kaiser's grandson vas working!
in Henry Ford's assembly plant in
Buenos Aires, Argentina, for $3 a
day would have furnished a topic for
Sunday pages in the big newspapers.
Now the fact that the son of the
Crown Prince has had to go to work
under the name of *'Doctor Ferdiiand"
is hardly a theme for a passing
' paragraph.
Some of the results of the Great
I " War may be debatable, hut that it
finally exploded the old idea of royalty
ruling by Divine mandate i - ail
o the good.

/ Board is to convert farming: from a
?, hit-or-missj biode of living into a bus/:
mess. It can share in the nation's
I general prosperity only by adopting
I business methods. In the process,
I Aiany farmers will have to give up
farming and go into something else.
That may sound harsh, but it is the
dain logic of the trend of events.
William M. Jardine, former Secretary
of Agriculture and himself a
successful practical farmer, says
there are too many farms and farm- J
iv. in any sound business, Produc-1
rs regulate their output to the doaiahcl
for their products. Farmers
s.ave not done that because they have
oyer worked together?
The Farm Board program is the
greatest exneriment in co-operation
ever attempted in the world, rts success
will depend upon the intelligence
infgvision of the men who run it.
Dawes
They are talking about Charles (J.
Dawes for Mayor of Chicago. The
lection will he in April, 1931. If
I he former Vice-President, present
kmbaesador to Great Britain, can ho
omiiuiteu, he probably ran bo electri.
If he is elected, Chicago will act
k.he most complete c!rsnme-un it has
vcr had. The trouble will bo to pet
the nominally Republican but actunly
bi-partisan machine which cutiUois
^ "hicago politics to let him be nomilated.
The ostensible basis of unpaid

Population
Take out your watch and look at
I ihe seconds hand. Count thirteen
seconds. Somewhere, in the United
States a baby has been born. Follow
the hand to the 28-second mark.
Someone has died. Watch it for a
I minute and a half. Another Immi/
--rant has landed on our shores. Hold
t for five and a half minutes. Somebody
has sailed away from America
'.o stay.
.The- average of all those computation's,
worked out by the United
States Census office, is the addition
-if one person to our total population
every 23 seconds. While you
slept eight hours last night, 2,21.3 ba
oies were norn, i.ztis persons <neu.
The not increase in imputation is 3,12-1
n day. At midnight on December
31, as the first stroke of 1930
-ounded, thore were 121,873,1 10 livI'j
ng inhabitants of the United States,
he Census people figured.
If there were no immigration and
rohody left the country, the excess
1' births over deaths would add 3,000
. day to our imputation, or more
than a million a year.
Cold
The other day 1 saw a covered
J ruck on Sixth Avenue, New York,
with the name of an ice-cream maker
>n the side and the words "Temperature
105 degrees below zero." Freez/
ng ice-cream so solid that it will
'teep for weeks if stored at any temperature
helow 32 degrees is only one
,?d of the commercial applications of the
. -icw freezing processes in which both
' ?' liquid air and solid carbon dioxide
are used.
Fish, meats, fruits and vegetables
i rozen so quickly and thoroughly that
their juices do not form ice-crystals
"o rupture the fibers are now on the
narket in the large cities. They
taste, when thawed, just like fresh
food. Chicago packers are preparing
to put out frozen meats in the fonrf
of single steaks, chops, roasts, each
sealed in cellulose and shipped in
-entailers designed to keep them
frozen until delivered to the con-umer.
. If this method develops as it promts,
the world center of the meat
industry may shift from the United
States to Argentina, Australia or
South A-frica, where land and tabor
are cheap and cattle and sheep can
be raised at small cost.

A Non-Partisan New
BOONE, 1
Finds Pleasure in the II
Propagation of Fish
Mr. Nile Cook, who resides three
miles oust ot boone on a Middle Fork
:?f New River, was a brief but interesting:
visitor with The Demoreat yesterday
morning: and told an interesting
story of the private fisheries Hi
which he has provided on his farm.
Mr. Cook has for many years been
intensely interested in the protection
of the finny tribe and about two
years ago he concluded to increase
their numbers. Accordingly, he provided
a suitable fresh water pool and
stocked the same with rainbow trout,
secured from the hatchery. These
fish were cared for until they ^y(
reached a length of about five inches
and then the whole lot, consisting of
about S00. was released in Middle ?0
Fork near the Cook home. They have n*J
thrived and have furnished much of
the sport to be enjoyed fishing in the ox
mountain stream. j"
Mr. Cook then reared 1,500 brook be
trout in the same pond. These now fu
average about eight inches in length, ga
the larger being as long as twelve
inches. He now has a second pond in on
which 100 suckers, of an average ?Q]
weight of one pound are kept, these
having been caught from time to time
with hook and iine from the nearby NVfJ
power dam. The next move on the lo,
Cook farm will be a carp-stocked ....
nond. / ,H
pe
\\ hen asked whether or not! he ex- Gr
pee ted to commercialize on the trout wi
being reared, Mr. Cook answered in
the negative. He realiizes that the a v
demand for this delieaey -would be 0f
heavy during the tourist season and fa,
the price high, however, he says that'
the speckled beauties will likely soon- at?
er or later be released in fishing waters
to replenish the dwindling wild .Aj
stock. He is thoroughly convinced ^0j
that the only way"*to have fish is to jlo,
provide more than are caught, and to ?OJ
close streams for a period of time ?
where possible. Mr. Cook is a real *
sportsman and more of his kind . '
would do more for conservation work )t.-(
than all the existing laws. ^

County Superintendent Smith Ha- j ()

" j offering to the farmers of this sec- Q
tion. Folowing the singing of "America**
by the audience, Dr. O. J. Chan-|
[ dier, pastor of Boone Methodist I ?
Church, said, the invocation, follow-: c
1 ing which County Agent Hendricks,?
of Caldwell, spoke on "Watauga t;
County Agriculture.*/
* Mr; Hendricks, who is well known
' in Northwest Northcar?dina, brought "
' a message of much interest to his ?
* audience using many statistics to
* prove his claims concerning the con- k
: dition of affairs 011 many Watauga h
County farms. According to the F
speaker, Watauga County farmers to- ( tl
? day are producing not more than it
? one-half of the foodstuffs consumed <1
10 ky Watauga people. The foodstuffs tl
produced on Watauga farms, ac- a
ia cording to Mr. Hendricks, have an a
. annual value of $333,752. while the w
n. | food consumed by Wataugans in a o
?L,! year is valued at $808,233. A simple s
j subtraction would indicate that it rc- tl
hc! quires $561,181 more to feed the f
)(.i people of this county than the value d
| of their products. Mr. Hendricks it
id-j urged relief in this particular. The S
e<i! farms of Watauga County should f.
1 ni-oduce_uraeticaUy_the equivalent of t
the foodstuffs required for her in-j 3
hei habitants. The Caldwell man then i;
a! showed on a chart the ere os in which ti
j,cl Watauga was deficient, and the ones p
fen I that went beyond the required for 0
j self-support. The former, accordingly;
is_! to his figures, are corn, wheat, aots'ti
asj and sweet potatoes, and the latter c
in-; ore cheese, milk, poultry and eggs. , ti
: The next speaker was E. C. Tin-it
or ner, county agent of Ashe County, I ti
0t whose suhject was "Sheep Raising in! tl
the Mountains;" Mr. Turner centeredi y
15 his remarks on balanced rations for I g
;n the flock and treatment and preven- s;
tion of diseases in sheep. He advo- s;
eated ti few sheep on every farm in
:j( Watauga, and explained in detailed

u_j At the noon hour plate lunches |j
c. were served the crowd by the ladies
iit| of the town and county, and the pto]
scram was resumed at 1 o'clock p. m.;
-rs; by County Agent Hendricks, using j
ii "Production of Dairy Products" as
-,1-; the subject of a most informative If
>i j lecture. The speaker gave formulas (
hci for the dairy cow's ration, her cave, ,
in- the treatment of disease, and advo- f
he cated a small herd for the small far- '
"or mer, providing a suitable marketing,:
le- place was available. 1'
ig- County Agent Turner again acl- i *
or- dressed the assemblage in the after-: *
his noon on "Beef Cattle in Watauga | ^
he County." Mr. Turner stated that a
,v- "purebred bull, during the ten years',
5t- "f its usefulness, is worth $20,000 to| i
the community in which it thrives, j ;
ver and $10,000 more than a scrub would j <
ol- be worth ill the same community." '
This assertion was backed by actual I
,od figures. Turning to the dairying fea- '
ture of the cattle industry, the speakrt-i
er averred that the secret of good 1
i dairy cattle is "weeding and breedit
! ing and breeding, interspersed by a j
I little feeding." And then Mr. Turner!
rt- j explained what the Kraft-Phenix j
: Cheese Corporation is doing for the.
tee j farmers of Ashe County, and inti- i1
' mated that the company plans to j'
nd expand its facilities in Northwestern '
-ed North Carolina at an early date, ana1!
tth stated that Watauga County would

in not to sell off the choice heifers in i
