I1 WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, DEC. 22, 19 1?. ? <* One more day Ww- and then, "good-bye Ohriatmaa shopping!" | We're had about ovary variety of weather on the calendar this week. Herefc hoping that the weather man will be good to us from now on. The residents of tfve rural district* of the county are cordially invited to come to town Monday evening at 6 :30 in order that their children may share in the gifta that are to be distri bated at the Municipal tree. NORTH CAROLINA'S BEST CROP. An interesting article, and one worthy of much thought, appeared in a recent issue of the Extension Farm News, published at Raleigh. It deals with the State's greatest problem. Every other State in the Union has a similar ose. When it has been solved, every other prob lem, of both rural and urban interest, will have been satisfactorily worked out. Upon the solution of that problem depends the accural ate and permanent solving of all State-wide problems. Real agri-f cultural cooperation, universal good roads, adequate and just taxa tion for educational purposes, the uplift of the rural church, safe and profitable fanning, the crcation of higher standards of morality, re creation, education for the rural communites, the making of country life attractive, enjoyable and profitable to a superlative degree? all depend upon the way in which North Carolina prepares, grows, cul tivates and harvests her best crop, a crop of well-trained and prop erly directed boys and girls. Among the many i*?titutions of the State interested in the growing | of this crop, none is charged with greater responsibility than thei A. & M. College, through its Division of Agricultural Clubs and Secondary Education. In cooperation with the United States Depart ment, of Agriculture, the State Department of Agriculture, the Ex tension Service and ?he State Department of Education, this division of the service is exercising personal supervision over thousands of boys and girls, ha> just established a supervisory system over teachers of agriculture and home economics, and is conduct! tig a State-wide campaign, in cooperation with county superintendents, for a better and a more useful education. Like all other crops, this crop must ger. away from the degrading clutch of dependence. It must be taught to be self-supporting, useful and independent. It must be shown the way to a position of max imum education, endeavor ami service. The personal histories of the members of the Agricultural Clubs will reveal astonishing sac rifices, ambitious pluck, success in the face of hpidicap. Like other crops, this -crop need* careful nurture, correct handling and proper inoculation. When we pet to the point where we give an much at tention to this crop as we do to cotton and tobacco, we will have gone a long ways toward the solution of the problems of inequitable prices, rural sanitation, stability of rural population, right kind of educa tion and an independent rural North Carolina. Let us develop our beet crop. - SECRETARY LANSING'S VIEWS. I ' In a statement, issued yesterday, Secretary of State Lansing gives a new view to the "peace talk." . Mr. Lansing frankly admits that the action of President Wilson, in standing his recent note to the allies, was more in the interests of the United States thaa those of the belligerent nations. He declared that the United States was being drawn neareT and nearer to war. Our rights are continually Wing violated. In other words, he practically admits that unless peace is declared before lon?, the United States will probably be forced to enter into the war. There is no question but that President Wilson's message will have a powerful (influence upon the belligerents. And it is also highly probable that his note will be the means for establishing direct peace negotiations. Secretary Lansing's statement was of greater interest to many peo ple of the United States than President Wilson's note. The admis sion of the critical situation into which the United States was grad ually drifting and the likelihood of our entering the war. came as a distinct shock. And Mr. Lansing knows whereof he speaks. THE FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION. K" Tomorrow morning there will be held a meeting at the court house for the purpose of organizing a county Farm Loan Annotation, to operate uiider the new farm loan banks act Mr. J. F. Latham, county farm demonstrator, lias issued an nrgent request for every farmer to be present, in order that the organiza tion may be perfected, r t will be of immeasurable value to the farmers is a direct way. It will provide tliem with the means of procuring money on long time for a low rate of interest; it will enable them to farm on a larger scale, to build better homes and to buy new and modern machinery. There is only one difficulty in the way. This farm lrtan aaaoeia tion ia a new thing and it ia hard to armies interest in something that has not already proven i to worth. For tbi* reason, some of mir farmers may be a little slow in taking advantage of it. Hut we hop*, at mj rale, that a large number will he on hand tomorrow to find out about the workings of the organization.
