President Roosevelt has thrown quite a bit of con
fusion in Congress by his new tax recommendation in
which he expects to tax corporation surpluses and un
divided profits.
New York is undergoing a strike by elevator oper
ators. -The reports indicate much inconvenience to in
nocent parties. Wonder if the government agencies
can settle this amicably.
There seems to be great pressure brought to bear
with Governor Ehringhaus by leading tobacco men in
eastern North Carolina, to call a special session to take
action on the tobacco control for 1936. The position of
the advocates is that North Carolina producing around
seventy-five per cent of the flue cured tobacco should
not wait on Georgia. Others think it would be unwise
for North Carolina to control its crop and allow Georgia
to profit by this control.
THE CONTEST
The TIMES wishes to congratulate each of the win
ners in the recent contest and also all the contestants for
the splendid work they did and the high grade sports
manship displayed in their every act and contact. The
contest was a very pleasant venture and considering the
miserable weather was very successful. We also wish
to thank the public for the splendid co-operation given
the candidates in the work they did. Our force is now
busy entering the credits and new names. Many of these
will go out this week and it is hoped all will be com
pleted and on the list for our next issue.
To Mr. H. W. Kobbins goes much of the credit for
the successful conduct of the contest. He was especially
well qualified and in the splendid and pleasant manner
of his contacts made many friends in our County.
As a result many new names will be added to our
mailing list and many old names will show a current con
dition, for all of which we thank you.
THE TVA DECISION
Everybody seems to be satisfied with the ruling of
the Supreme Court of the United States in the Tennes
see Valley Authority case.
It reaffirmed that the Federal Government has full
control over navigable streams and that this control in
volves the right to build dams and otherwise improve
the channels of such streams to make navigation safer
or easier. And that, as the Court put it, the Govern
ment then becomes the owner of the power generated by
the waters flowing over the dams. Being the owner of
the water power, it can sell the water power to whom
ever wants to buy it, either as wtfter power or by con
verting it into electric energy.
The Supreme Court decision stopped there. It did
not go into the question of the Government's right to set
up a model community in the Tennessee Valley and go
into the business of distributing electric energy at retail
or doing other things for the betterment of the lives of
the residents which have been announced as parts of
the TVA program.
The Government's case as presented to the Court
omitted all reference to the latter items. They likely
will be brought before the Court in another action.
What the decision will be remains for the future to dis
close. So far as the T(VA decision went it was clearly
in accord with Constitutional precedents.
It seems clear from the language of the Court 's de
cision that the Federal Government cannot go into the
power business as a primary objective and so compete
with privately owned utilities. It can only sell power
whose production is incidental to the carrying out of
another purpose, so far as the Court ruling g9es.
It is difficult to see how the utilities can be seriously
harmed, especially as they are probably in the best po
sition of anyone to buy and distribute the power gen
erated at Federal dams, without going to the capital ex
pense of building the dams themselves.

Questions
Answered at State College
Question: How can I prevent
my hens from eating eggs?
, Answer: Egg eating Is usually
aqulred by certain birds in the
flock and starts by an egg being
broken In the nest If yon can
pick out the bird or birds that
have formed this habit they should ?
be taken from the flock and sold
aa there is no way of breaking
them of the rice. If the whole l
flock Is eating eggs there la ap- <
parently an insufficient amount
of mineral matter In the ration
and the trouble can be corrected
by balancing the diet and adding
the necessary minerals.
Question: What preparation is
necessary In seeding a new pas
ture to carpet grass?
Answer: Moisture Is the chief
essential to good growth of carpet
grass and, while this grass will
form a sod more quickly on a
good feed bed, It will eventually
make a good sod on poor soli with
next to no preparation provided
there i? enough moisture. Many
good carpet grass pastures have
been started by simply burning

8. M. PAKRISH (1867-1935)
Please give me space In your
paper to pay tribute to one of
Franklin County's best men who
died during the past year. The
life of S. M. Parrlsh was lived
quietly and without any bid for
the notice of his fellow-men. He
was born, lived his sixty-eight
years, and died in the same com- j
inanity, on the banks of Sandy
Creek. But the blessedness of the f
fine qualities in his life have gone
out through his children to many
places of the earth. He was the
soul of honesty and honor. In all j
of his relations with others he |
"rendered things honest In the
sight of all men." No man doubt- jl
ed the word of Sam Parrish, and |
every man knew that his word
waa his bond. Another strong |
quality In his character was hard
work. He believed in the honor I
and dignity of labor. It hurt him |
deeply to see a man or woman
who was not willing to do a part I
of the useful work of the world, ||
and to do it with his or her might.
Kvery dollar he earned came from
'hard work and frugal saving. Andl
I from these savings, he gave liber
ally to his Church and other good
i causes. Mt. Zion Church building
with Its twelve Sunday School
I rooms stands In part as a monu
| ment to his generosity and hard
work. We have lost a citizen who
hated nothing as he bated sin and
low living, and loved nothing as
he loved righteousness and useful
living. With simple faith in God
he lived and served his day and |
generation well. God give us more
citizens and Christians with such
character and usefulness as that
with which he has blessed our
county. "Blessed are the dead
which die In the Lord from hence
forth: Yen. salth the Spirit, that
thex may rest from their labors; I
.and their works do follow them."

seed. The ideal seed bed, how
ever, is one that U thoroughly
pulverized to a depth of three
inches and undisturbed below that
depth. Plowing, therefore should
be avoided unless done about six
to eight weeks before sowing the
?eed.
Question: What size garden
should be planned for average
farm family?
Answer: This depends on the
number In the family, but as a
usual custom one-half acre will
produce sufficient vegetable for
a family of five. If sweet potatoes,
cantaloupes, and watermelons are
grown In the garden, a slightly
larger plot will be necessary. The!
different crops and dates of plant
ing together with the amount ot,
seed or number of plants are given
