two THE STATE PORT PILOT Southport, N. C. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY JAMES M. HARPER, JR., Editor Entered as second-class matter April 20, 1928, at the Post Office at Southport, N.

Truth from some sources is much stranger than fiction. It is unfortunate that those with the least brains usually do the most talking. Maybe there is something to this theory about rain during "dog days". At any have been thirteen straight XOVV) /V11VA V ? days during which there has been some rain locally. Farm News Strictly speaking, Brunswick is an agricultural county and one of our chief aims has been to bring to the farmers latest news concerning developments in the AAA programs, agricultural experiments, etc. Information concerning the county farm program and certain phases of the AAA is furnished The State Port Pilot each week from the office of County Agent J. E. Dodson. We thank him for his co-operation in making it possible for us to keep our readers in touch with the work of the county agent. There are other articles each week that are of general interest, many of these dealing with the work of extension specialists at North Carolina State College, reports of modern developments in agriculture in other sections of the state and other worthwhile information. These news stories are furnished this newspaper through the courtesy of F. H. Jeter, editor of the News Bureau of the co-operative extension department at State College. Mr. Jeter and the men who are associated with him are providing a valuable service to farmers of North Carolina whom they are reaching each week through the leading weekly newspapers. The editors of these newspapers recognize the value of these articles and greatly appreciate the work being done by Mr. Jeter. Following is a part of a letter which he wrote last week to the editor of The State Port Pilot, assuring him of his continued co-operation in providing this news service to readers in Brunswick county: "The various new findings of our experiment station staff, the results of demonstration by our extension staff, the studies of our teaching staff and the rulings of the Washington administration will be made available to you each week, and we shall attempt to present the facts as they are. This enables you to select and choose those items of interest to your people and to give them the latest, and most authoritative information available. In other words, this office acts as your reporter at the head quarters for agricultural news insofar as North Carolina is concerned. "Let me thank you for your co-operation with us. The farmers of North Carolina owe you a debt of gratitude for the fine way you have always carried our agricultural information and I trust that will r\ovmit Y\n+V*innr slin4-n?*U 4-1%;^ y \ju niu ptiiaiv iivuuiig tu uiovux u tliid co-operative effort. We have correlated this material and issued it uniformly each week. At this end of the line, we shall permit nothing to upset this relationship." Summer Responsibility Many parents lost sight of the fact that the vacation period is one of grave danger to the growing child. The boy or girl just out of school feels like the caged bird that is suddenly released from its captivity. It glories in its freedom to the exclusion of all else. Many of the lessons in deportment that have been learned in the class room are gradually forgotten as the child finds its ^vay to the street. There is no room in its THE STATE PORT heart fcr anything but the glories of th< present, unless the parental hand is eve: guiding its steps. The future is a seale< : book which will be opened only too sooi I Ifor its purpose. I Herein the function of the parent be 'comes the double importance to the fu Iture life of the child, for the careful worl ' and training of the teacher must be car ! ried on through the days and weeks o the vacation period, not to the extent o j hampering the child in its rest and re icuperation from the classroom confine jment, or depriving it of the innocen pleasures of life, but rather the daily im pressing upon its young mind the neces jsity for continuing the rules of conduc ! learned in its house of study. Children are quick to learn and equally I quick to forget. An impression may sinl j deep today and be forgotten by tomor | row, but if it is repeatedly brought to th< ! attention of the juvenile brain it wil eventually take deep root and live. The teacher is responsible to the par ent for the proper instruction of the chil< during its hour of study, but the paren has a double responsibility?to both th< teacher and the child?the responsibility of safe-guarding the work of both.?Tri bune, Lemmon, S. Dakota. The Reason Why The other day we happened to remem ber a small bill which we owec?. W< started to pay it, but suddenly remem bered that our creditor had owed us ar account for some time, so we decidec there was no particularly hurry. Later, we began to think about th< ma++oi> aoroin Hnv HpHI-nr-frpHitnr wa.< 111UUKV1 V Mi V?V WV? WV..VV. ?? not in the best of financial circumstances He had a good business, that, in spite oi hard work, didn't seem to be doing as well as it should. We wondered what the reason could be. We asked one of his close friends whal was the matter with Mr. Blank and his business. Mr. Blank, he said, was a gooc man and a hard worker, but he had beer the victim of bad luck. Two years ago he told us, his wife became ill and he was j forced to borrow some money to meel I her hospital expenses. In the face of pay> ing this larger indebtedness, Mr. Blanl had allowed smaller bills to go unpaid His business was one that created i number of small accounts. Disliking t( press debtors to whom he owed money his business methods became slip-shod. It occurred to us that many cases jusl like ours probably had contributed mor? than anything else to his condition. A1 that he needed was to get back on i cash basis. We did our part towarc starting him on the road to recovery bj paying our account. Vocational Teachers Two vocational teachers will be mad( available for work in Brunswick countj schools this year provided the county ii able to pay seven-sixteenths of their sal ary. This offer was made in a recent let ter from T. E. Browne, vocational direc tor, to 0. C. Johnson, chairman of i county committee appointed to investi gate the possibility of securing vocationa agriculture and home economics teachers There is a real need for these two de partments in every one of the five con solidated schools of the county and w< wish that it were possible for a start t< be made this year. It may be severa years before the state can offer two tea chers to Brunswick county again, as then is always a ready demand for this work Members of the board of county com missioners are renorted to ho in favor o this work, but that body is now facec with the problem of balancing the count] budget, including the new debt service without raising the tax rate of the coun ty. The addition of the two teacher would cost the county between $2,501 and $3,000 for her part and it appear to be out of the question for the commis sioners to appropriate that amount. Miss Annie Mae Woodside, county sup erintendent of schools, is very much ii favor of introducing vocational work ii schools of the county, but she, too, recog nizes the difficulty of providing sufficien funds at this time. It seems a shame to miss this fine op portunity for securing school work tha would prove such a benefit to the county and we feel sure that if there is any pos sible way to provide funds for this worl the commissioners and the county super intendent of schools will see that it ii done. PILOT, SOUTHPORT, NORT sf 7 jj Washington !i Letter I " j Washington, July 17.?It is -1 likely that the controversy over - tax legislation may reach sufficient proportions to force an early 1 adjournment of Congress. Only f the insistence of the Progressive f j bloc in the Senate that the _ I "soak-the-rich" plan should go | " I through the mill this session pre- j -1 vents the President's consent to j t a closing down at this time. A i _ j determined effort to win the pow- j erful clique over to a reasonable | 1 point of view has been under- j t j way for several days with a blimmer of success. Wrangling has! broken out along the entire legis-1 Y lative front involving partisan an-1 < gles and factions within the two _ major parties. The minute the President abandons uie special e revenue measure it will be a J signal for speedy disposition of important bills now tangled in a parliamentary maze. If you have ever observed how } the weather affects your disposi, tion then you have a fairly accu| rate picture of the doings at the i; Nation's Capital. Heat and huf i midity have of late contributed ! to the marked display of frayed tempers among our national lawmakers. Short-tempers accompanied by sharp tongues are not conducive to orderly handling of vital problems of the day. A survey shows that President Roosevelt is not endearing himself to the solons by keeping them on 5 the job when they want to run . back home for a few months. Committee meetings have developed into public brawls as legisl lators hurl epithets against their colleagues and hapless witnesses. t Many long friendships establish' j ed without regard to partisan3 ship have either been stretched to a breaking point or gone on > the rocks as a consequence of the I petty arguments now reported 3 daily. ? The current investigations by the Senate and House into lobbying activities were inspired by the t bitter feeling engendered in the ; fight on public utility legislation. , The inquiry has made the legisators reticent and hushed the 1j many little private conversations I in the sacred precincts of the i , party cloakrooms just off the 5 Senate and House floor. The dis- j t closures before the lobby com- ! . mittee have shown the need for j ? a close-mouthed attitude in order | L j to save political careers. The net . effect of the present Congressil onal quiz will be damaged reputations without any change in ' old-fashioned lobbying procedures. , Even the advocates on the probes do not expect anything more; , than a few sensational disclos-1 ures about "behind-the-scenes" af- ; I fairs. J Though the Supreme Court j L definitely set the limits for gov- j . ernment control of industry and I ' trade in the famous NRA case, it r is now apparent that the Administration is reaching the same goal through indirect means. Complaints are flooding Congress about the methods utilized by the New Dealers when their efforts to obtain mandatory legislation } have failed. Because of the trej mendous sums allotted by the Federal government for loans to 5 industry and banking, the govern mental agencies find it possible . to write their own ticket. Claus-! es are inserted in loan agreements requiring compliance with I certain conditions outlined by the _ central government at Washing, ton. Groups badly in need of money are obliged to sign on the . dotted line and for the term of | . the loan must abide by working conditions set by various bureaus i here. The scope of this influence 1 may be gleaned from the factj } that government money goes out ! i in many directions whether direct from the Capital City or down - through the local town bank. a Mr. Roosevelt's insistance that Congress pass the Guffey coal * bill regardless of whatever - qualms they may entertain as to f its final legality is rubbing the i law-makers the wrong way and providing his political foes with 7 powerful campaign arguments. f The national legislature will undoubtedly oblige the White House and at the same time place the I S responsibility squarely on the ) shoulders of the Chief Executive, j It is an accepted view in both : political campaigns that the j - President and his advisers are endeavoring to short-circuit the courts in many instances. One method is the pending Walsh bill, I which the Senate will consider 1 shortly. While directly hitting all private producers and distribu" tors bidding on government cont tracts, the bill, sponsored by the Administration, reaches down the line to all points of contact which a government contractor t may have with suppliers of ma. terials going into the processing ' j of the finished product. Bidders " i say that the new covenants which t the Federal authorities want . make it necessary to maintain all the conditions which were impos5 ed by the NRA, lately defunct.
