THE GI-EANER 3RAHA.M, M. 0.. JULY 29. 1937 , ISSUED EVERY TIICBSDAV J. D. KERNODLE, Editor $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE Isaittred at tba Postofflce at Graham. N. C.? a? second-clam maltsr. Speaking of birth of Virginia 1 Dare, reminds U9 of an incident at the commencement exercises | at old Trinity College in Kan- 1 dolph County: Gen. James Madison Leach, native of that section and resident of Lexing ton, was a member of Congress and almost invariably attended the commencement exercises. (He was a kinsman of President Craven's wife, whose maiden name was Leach). Being a Congressman, the General was expected to say something ? no doubt he expected to be called on and talk, he would, whether to the point or far-afield, and he was not so very choosy about what he said or the impression it made. In those days of bitter political strife, you were about as apt to hear a political har angue froom a school rostrum as you would a literary gem. The General was feeling good and proud of himself and ex tolling Old North Carolina. He knew some history, and tradi tion ? perhaps, the name Vir ginia Dare, and roared out: "The first white child born iu America was born in North Carolina and, thank God, it was a girl baby at that." From that he veered swiftly to poli tics, ^seemingly, uppermost in his mind, and let loose the fol lowing admonition: "If I were a young lady and one of these young radicals came courting around, I'd kick him so high | the blue birds would build in I his ? 'er pockets before he come down." The older people will remember that "radical" was the appellation, politically, to anyone not affiliated with the Democratic party in the early days following the Civil War. China and Japan are at war, as yet in the early stage. Some fighting, wounding aud killing has occurred. This far away it looks like Japan goes out of her way to harass China, and when the worm begins to turn 1 Japan manages to make de mands and issue ultamatums. One could wish that China had a real leader who could cope with the situation and retaliate effectively. The scene of the present trouble is in and around Peiping. I n that city are several hundred Americans aud citizens of other nations in the danger zone. Japan says they shall not be molested, notwith standing, a few days ago two American ladies, offending in no way, so far as they knew, complained that they had been pushed around and kicked by Japanese soldiers. It is won dered if Japan is deliberately trying to start something. The cotton crop this year promises to be a bumper one, according to government re porting agencies. Of course the statisticians have not and cannot figure out the set-backg, such as heat and cold, wet and dry, rust, boll-weevil, either of which might materially change the result, without government regulation ? plowing up every third row, limiting acreage, not to mention scantier clothing. Nature has a way of adjusting things and evening up when abnormal excesses occur in any direction. It was but a few years ago that the boll- weevil came along to halt the mad rush to grow more and tuore cotten each succeeding year. Presideut Roosevelt is plan ning to visit the Roanoke Island Celebration on August 18th, the 350th anniversary of the establishment of the English Colony there by Sir Walter Releigh and the anniversary of the birth of Virginia Dare, the first white child born iu Auieri co. Other first things, besides the first attempt at English settlement and the birth of j the first white child iu Aineiica, are credited to thai locality ? | the first flight by airplanes by the Wright brothers and the | world's biggest scuppernong Vint-. Administration Court reur ? ganization has vanished to a big extent, especially as to the Supreme Court, nevertheless Mr. Roosevelt appears to think a number of points were gained. However, when the re-draft appears, it will bear little or no resemblance to the recommitted bill. Though the President missed his goal, he must be credited with putting up a de termine 1 fight. The United States Senate is one deliberative body on earth that is hard to stampede. It is a bulwark a gainst innovations which do not bear the stamp of reason. The maximum hour and min imum wage problem now un der consideration iu Congress is one that, perhaps, will never be adjusted to fit every kind of work all over the country ? cer j tuiuly it is not within the scope' of a commission of five men to doit. The same hour and thej same wage cauuot be made to fit all. If its the worker who is willing and anxious to work I to get ahead, it would deny him the light and privdege. ! There is no end of phases in- J eluded in such rules and regu- ' latious. Along with the strikes around | Cleveland, vicious rioting has j broken out. In Tuesday's clash with the disorderly one was killed and many wounded. Mon- 1 day night is described as a night of terror iu Cleveland. Timely Farm Questions Answered at State Collese Question: Will Johnson grass poison livestock? Answer: Johnson srnss pro duces a poisonous acid. Mowu as hyilrocyauic or prussiu aoid, whuit ; theiiui ui.il growth of lue grass ( has beou slopped or retarded by such adverse conditions as drought, bruising, trampling or cutting. Usually no irou'ilo is experieuced from livestojK graz ing the grass except iu extremely dry we.Uher or on tho Second growth immediately aftercuiling. Dr. O. D. Orinuells, veterinarian , of the North Caroliua Experi- ' went Station, says ohoLotieriy aud black cherry also pro luce this poisouons acid uuder a I verse growing conditions Question: When is the heft] time to .cut soy bea us aud cowpeas for hay? Answer: C u I the soybeans whou the seed are about half de- j veloped in the pods aud the cj<v- , peas when the first pods begin to yellcw. A poor quality of hay is often produced from these crops in North Carolina because inosl j of us wait loo long to cut them for hay. Livestock do not relish j stems and tough liber, bindo eat i green, leafy hay with excellent results. 1 i Question: I have a field of i corn on which I want to turn uiy hogs. Wheu is the best stage of growth to do this? Answer: If the best stave fur the corn is meant, then 'xuytitiie after the corn plains have passed the dough stage. If the best stage of growth for the pigs is meant, then anytime after the young fellows are weaued. W'jen hogs are turned Into standing corn, the self-feeder containing taukage or fish meal should be put Into the field. It wonld be well to have a mineral mixture available alao. I Befor? be iucluded k-spedrfza in i his erop rotation, John Lyou of | Yancey ville, Route 1, produced only 7 aud S bushels ot wheat per acre on a nine-acre field. This I past spriug, be averaged 15.3 1 bushels au acre. { Checking Halifax cotton fields j last week, the assistant county ! agent, W. M. Bruce, found heavy ! infections in fields aud predicted losses to growers unless the boll ! weevils are held in check. Hog growers of Heaufort and Hyde counties have organized a livestock mutual association for iliw cooperative shipment of hogs at Washiugtou, county seat of eaufort county. Germany, Sweden vnd the United States produce huge quan tities of "'potato alcohol." Clothes moths do an annual da in ace of about $>00,000,000 in tiie United Slates alone. "Chimney" swallows sometime** miild their nests in old .veils Louisiana has the deepest pro ducing oil well in the world, two and one- fifth miles deep. "S'Matter Pop/' by C. M. Payne, Proves a Great Favorite Of all the comic! that have been published in American newspapers, few have achieved the popularity accorded C, M. Payne's '"S'Matter Pop." This great comic, which has stood the test of many years, with its fresh, clean humor stilt, bright, C. M. PAYNE Be draws "S'Matter Pop." holds a definite place in the hearts of thousands to whom the Wimpus family are almost real people. Some of the sayings of Desperate | Ambrose, one of the characters o f this strip, have almost become pro verbial. There is a tang to his hu mor that iS decidedly unique. Such observations as these are typical : "Applesauce is all right, but as for me, I always watch there ain't no pill in it." " Paw says aim atta st?r in stead of shootin' down a well? ya kin never tell when a duck might ti&>fcflying over." Desperate Ambrose's sayings are not only humorous,, but there is a baxls of hard common sense that makes them doubly appealing. If you want more of them start read ing this strip in this jssue. We prom ise you'll never be disappointed. Federal Crystal Gazing Largest Printing Office In World Run jt a Loss in Washing ton, and Paid For )With Tax MoneY Compete* With Private Enterprise In Printing Stationery, Guide , Book* and Histories Hv J. E. Jones ? Washington, D. C? July2T, '37 Th e National Resources Committee has Issued an interesting report described as the "Technological Trends and Their Special Imvlica - tions. " It advocates a Federal Board to keep track of the many changes taking place that affect human lifei It is an intelligent analysis along practically the fame lines as similar reports by a National , Committee, when "the other party" was running things a few years *go. There ia a mania among politi cians to compile "official reports", about the wonders of the age is HOW NEW YORK FAIR MOVES BIG TREES BY HUNDREDS ?I | NEW YORK (Special). ? As the housewife repots geraniums or the gardener moves berry bushes, so does the New Yorl: World's Fair 1939 Corporation trans plant stately trees from five states to the 1216&-acre exposition site. The Fair's landscape engineers explain that the moving of the big trees differs from the replant ing of small shrubs only in the matter of size, and that modern mechanical aids make possible the creation of a mature-looking park t>n the newly made land of Hushing Meadow. Shown at the top of accompanying photographs is a grown maple that has just been restored to upright po tition after a 120-mile ride on a specially-built truck. Note truck's winch and the secure balling of earth about the tree roots. In the centre is a 35-foot Norway maple, 12 tons weight, moving the last few yards to its new home by means of the forward gear of a modern tree mover. All trees shown, a number of the 474 veterans moved this spring, are new to the great expanse of filled land. The Fair will move 10,000 trees and 250,000 shrubs. Shown, just above, on thg bay hunter is Harvey D. Gibson. President of the Manufacturers Trust Com pany and Chairman of the Fair's Finance Committee. Up on the handsome grey and speaking to a landscape engineer is Grover Whalen, President of the Fair Cor poration, during a horseback tour of the site. 1 i which we live. Even histories and guide books concerning " every - where" are being run through the Oov eminent Printing Office at a great ioss to the taxpayers and with little benefit to the public. Better books are printed by print ers and publishers. Everyone knows that the tele phone, airplane, radio , rayon , elec tricity, aireonditionin,;. automobil es. teletype, trucks, trailers, pack age goods, and thousands of other developments are profoundly af fecting the civilization of today and tomorrow. Everybody who writes, including myself, is constant ly searching for facts and infor mation in order to furnish accep table and interesting articles for newspaper readers. Our great leaders in science, Invention, chem istry and teaching are daily giving us the benefits ol the knowledge that they have gained through the years. Magazines and publica tions, and publishers of now books, are holding nothing back? they tell everything. Fifteen or twenty thou sand offices of all kinds of pub lications are meeting the challenge of what-to-do-about the changes. Through the skill of publishers and editors the great story i s told every day in language that all who read may understand. The assumption that a Federal Board has ever made complicated human problems clearer to the peo ple than the editors Of this coun try is an old fiction, in class A of pure Imagination. Very few people read the re ports of Hoover's Federal crystal gazers and the number will not be increased when the Roosevelt crys tal gazers tell all they know about how '"to keep track of change's? that are already kept track o f ? and made the basis of the con duct of our human lives. God knows more people 6hould know about the Constitution, but how far do they get in the pur suit of knowledge through the mass of public printing on the sub ject, that was started by the Geo. Washington Centennial? with Con - grecsman Sol Bloopi continuing to whoop-er-up? The Government has been print ing envelopes in competition with the printers of the country for generations, and now insult Is add ed to injury through this guide bcok business, and the printing of alleged histories. Printing pih'ic documents at public expense has expense has been carried on for a great many years at a terrific speed, and in Washington tour ists are shown the Government Printing Office and the guides truthfully boast I1;that i; is the largest printing office in the world." The only ones who would regret seeing it reduced to reas onable proportions are those who are " getting theirs'* for this need less deluge of printing. The business of publishers and printers is getting too much need less competition from the Federal Government. This is just one more reason Why the Federal c rystal gazers might bo excluded. The story of the changes thhat affect human life is being told through the thousands of newspapers and publications that are giving tho American public! the most complete service of all the arts, crafts and industries.
