Buying Fertilizer And Insurance
All At Once In Nickels Program
HOLIDAY
PICTURES COMING UP
Buying fertilizer and insurance
at (be acme time sounds like an
044 phrase St may bit. Biu to
bacco farmers have been doing
it for the past 12 yean.
HobHco farmers, like all farm
er* in North Carolina, participate
k> the Nickels for KiwwjHow Pro
gram. They assess themselves a
nickel for each tan of teed and
fertilizer purchased. The money

goes to North Carolina State for
agricultural research and educa
tion.
The Nickels for Know - How
Program helps provide insurance
against the difficulties and un
certainties of a constantly chang
ing agriculture.
It helps support scientists who
ere looking for better answers to
today's problems and it provides
the farmer with some safeguards
against the problems that may
arise tomorrow.
Dr. H. Brooks James, dean of
agriculture at N. C. State, has
listed same of the tobacco re
search projects which have re
ceived "Nickels" support. They
include:
?Studies on the biology of to
bacco insects and their control.
?Tobacco curing research.
?Chemical weed control re
search in tobacco.
?'Factors relating to the resist
ance of tobacco to fusarium wilt.
Much of the "Nickels" research
is of a basic nature, designed to
provide information (hat will help
farmers deal with problems that
may arise m the future.
For example, under what sod
conditions does the dreaded black
shank fungus thrive best? What
is the nature of the pi&nents or
colore In tobacco, and how are
they inherited? What is the best
way to determine the nematode
population oi the aoil?
Answers to questions like these
oould open up new avenues of to
bacco production research.
Not all "Nickels" research has
been placed on production, how
ever. The crop is of no value un
til it has been sold.
Agricultural economists, using
"Nickels" money, have studied
such things as the effects of
federal acreage controls on pro
duction. They also have evalu
ated the new mechanical harvest
ing and curing techniques that
are becoming available.
So tar, Tar 'Heel farmers have
ocotritxited more than $L7 mil
lion in "Nickels for Know-How"
money since collections started
on January 1, 1032. Some of this
money has been spent on nearly
every farm commodity produced
m North Carolina.
Every three years, farmers de
cide if they want to continue this
self - help assessment program.
Bach time their response has
, been an overwhelming "yes."

American Continent, rued boun

remembered to give thanks to
God for their aocooipiuhment.

a Lee ipeopie, follow that same
utaaibau. All this has set me
thinking about not only bow our
vtaitieu aiange with advancing
years, but started me nuking up
my own list of thiols 1 have to

Speaker Law
Is Defended
To the Editor:
Several months ago while vis
isting one of our senators in
Washington, he told me that the
most distressing condition in
Wsshington to him is the almost
overwhelming attitude that the
United States owes something
to everyone around the world
except the American taxpayer.
Apparently the situation is now
worsening.
For months now the duly
elected representatives of the
North Carolina General Assem
bly have been subjected to
scorn and ridicule so intoler
able that I must add one small
non-influential voice to their de
fense with respect to the Anti
Communist Law designated by
the press as the Speaker Ban
Law.
The fact that I was wounded
twice in an infantry rifle com
pany in Europe in World War
II does not qualify me to speak;
because others gave much more,
many their lives. It grieves me
deeply that the families of those
who fought and died for our
system of government now find
that it is more fashionable to
promote the Interest of our en
emies than our own cltiaens.
It ia highly understandable
why the administrators of our
state supported Institution* de
sire maximum freedom. How
ever, the deplorable part of the
aituation is that It was the ap
parent violation of this very
freedom by some administrators
that convinced our legislature
that such a law was needed.
As gloomy aa the situation
appears, there is a ray of hope.
This hope rests in the fact that
your newspaper with its edi
torial power can be instrumental
in requesting that this prob
lem be settled by ? state-Wide
referendum. I am confident
that our citizens will exercise
far more wisdom (as they al
ways have) than aome people
will give them credit for.
We had better remember that
this fellow Khruschev was not
raised in the pleaaant confines
of a country club but in the
mines of Russia. Evan Presi
dent Kennedy can vouch for tlje
fact that he and his followers
are not soft traders. Witness,
for example, his outpost now
a mere 90 miles from the coast
of Florida, and his wheat bins
about to be filled witl) Ameri
can wheat at a coat much leu
that what we American* must
pay for our own wheat.
At the same time Russia is
arresting our professor ? (Pro
fessor Fredrick Barghporn of
Yale), why are we coddling
theirs? This kind of trading did
not build nor will it sustain our
great country.
Broadmindedne** may be vir
tuous; but if Khruschev 1* going
to bury us, isnt it going a little
beyond the call of duty to furn
ish him with the shovel?
Thanks to the free enterprise
system our standard of living
is the highest our world has
ever known. We should guard
this system with extreme Jeal
ousy.
