AN EDITORIAL ]
SHUPING TRIES AGAIN
—
C. L. Shuping, Greensboro lawyer, is out again
to stop Roosevelt.
Mr. Shuping, it will be recalled- tried to stop
Roosevelt in 1940, but failed.
At that time he had some powerful allies
among whom was Governor Hoey, who tried to ,
grease the rails. But the train rolled on.
He also had the help of some big politicians i
who like himself, possibly were alarmed less
over the menace of a third term than the divert
ed control of North Carolina patronage, or the
disappointment of personal political ambitions.
The big shots of business and finance were al
so in the fight to get the man in the White House
who laughed loud, smoked Camel cigarettes and
befriended the laborer and the farmer:
We might cite big cotton mill executives who
learned to hate the New Deal because of its lib
erality to the weak and its restrictions on the
super-privileged; and big bankers including the
famous Gold Dust Twins, one in Wall Street and
the other in Winston-Salem; also some big news- j
papers who printed editorials dictated by wealthy
stockholders.
It all ended in victory for the masses just as j
this new 4-term fight will end.
t But the people have a new reason now to want
Roosevelt, and that is because they believe it
will be dangerously unwise to swap horses while
we are passing through the most tragic experi -
ence in our history.
Where shall we find a President with the judg
ment, the poise- the courage, the world grasp,
the experience, of Roosevelt ?
There is no other man of his outstanding abil
ity, and even Mr. Shuping does not say so.
He names no candidate. Possibly anybody will
do for him, even a Republican, as he and his as
sociates supported Mr. Willkie before.

FARMERS MUST , tli
REPORT ON
AAA COMPLIANCE
Individuals Placed On Honor la
Move to Save Travel, Manpow*
er In 1943.
| I
i In an effort to reduce travel
and use of manpower, farmers of
Stokes county this year will rc
port their own compliance with
'provisions of the 1913 AAA pro
■ gram, it was announced today
by~ Jacob Futton, cnairman of thj
! County AAA Committee,
j "Under this plan, which may
be called an honor system, we
hope to save money, travel tires,
I
gasoline and the time of persons
who otlu rwise probably would be
engaged in agricultural produc
tion," Chair ma n Fulton said.
"This plan is being put into ef
fect over the entire nation this
year, and we in Stokes county
certainly can meet up to stand
ards of farmers in any other
i
county."
Under this program, he said,
each farmer will measure his
acreage and will report it to his
I County AAA Office on forms to
be provided by the office. Farm
ers also will report acreages of
crops grown for soil-building pur
poses and for which there is ;i
I
payment made under the AAA
program. Marketing quotas will
|be in effect this year only on cot
ton and tobacco, Mr. Fulton said,
but war crops, such as peanuts,
soybeans for beans, and sweet
potatoes for market must be
measured and reported for the
purpose of determining if goals
were met. Commercial truck
crops and Irish potatoes for mar
ket also must be reported for the
' purpose of determining incentive
payments.
"The most likely procedure
I farmers will follow is to measure
and determine acreage before
i
crops are planted and then stay
within the acreage set aside for
this purpose", Mr. Fulton said.
"In such cases, it is imperative
that farmers retain their records
for use in substantiating their re
ported acreage. The record of
measurements should include »
sketch of the fields measured and
distances may be shown by
chains, yards, or feet. When
I computed, however, the measure
ments must show the same total
acreage as reported by the farm
er."
In past years, measurements
of individual farm s have been
made by community committee
men or others employed by the
AAA. Committeemen this year
will be expected to assist farmers
in making their reports, will re
view all reports and will measure
acreages on a certain percentage
of farms in their communities, la
cases where errors are plainly ev
ident, the committeemen
will m&ke special eh»rk«
