PAGE 6 I BRUCE I BARTON Sayjj We Want To Feel Better A man who is much disturbed by what he calls the "forgotten habit, of church attendance" asks me to write a piece on that subject. From rather limited observation, it has. seemed to me that church atten dance has been better since wim? became worse. If this observation be correct, it only bears out the record of past experience. Years ago Roger Babson made a study which proved in most interesting and conclusive fashion that, people tend to neglect the church in boom times and go back to it when prosperity has fled. A boom begets big-headedness, conceit, extravagance, self-will; all these are enemies to humility and faith, anc all evaporate in a deflation. My father, who was a clergyman, used to say: "It does not surprise me that more people do not go to church. On the contrary, I am forever being amazed that so many do go." He went on to ask: "Why do people go? And he answered by saying that they go to hear themselves called sinners, to be told that they have done wrong during the: week and have been a disappointment to themselves and the angels; they go to be asked to give money and to be told that they do not give enough. . . All this, said my father, is a program so rigorous that the wonder is that anybody continues to ask for it. He might have added that people who have been regular church attendants in recent years have had to listen to an awful lot of secondhand economics. Those people who went to listen to the Founder of the Church heard -j-i a good deal about tneir socuu uuligations but they heard, also, that they were great people,with infinite capacities ? children of the Almighty and heirs of eternal life At the close of the sermon they felt encouraged, not discouraged; better, not worse. This can not be said of some church congregations today. We'll Always Be Fallible It is always my painful duty tc ; report that the human race is in a bad way, and to submit in evidence by thoughtful citizens at luncheon a number of remarks made recently and dinner tables. First remark, by the president of a large corporation. "I have revised my will and eliminated the clause which named a Trust Company as administrator. My observation of the action of trust companies during this depression convinces me that they do not know anything." Second remark, by an intelligent woman: "I have no use for doctors. Most of the time they are merely guessing. They have the lucky advantage of being able to bury their mistakes." Third remark: "When the lawyers talk about 'cleaning up the bar' they know it is just talk and that nothing will be done. They want the law tboe intricate and involved because that makes more work for lawyers." Fourth remark: "I don't read advertising any more; it is so exaggerated and misleading." Each of these remarks reminded me of the very wise advice of an older editor when, years ago, I was placed in charge of a magazine. He said: "You are going to discover that there are no efficient people in the world. You will explain an idea to a writer, and he will seem to un- , derstand, but when he delivers the ( finished article it won't be at all j what you want. You will think an artist has a clear notion of the kind of picture you want, but when he brings it in it will be a hundred per ( cent wrong." All of which sums up to this?the human race is made up of a great ( manv million very fallible human | beings. On the whole, they try their ( best, but their batting average is ( low; it always will be low just because they are human and limited ( and fallible. If you proceed on that ; assumption you never are disap- j pointed, and every now and then ( you get a very cheering surprise. ] Gives Final Figures Benefit Payments A final tabulation of AAA benefit payments shows that North Carolina farmers received a total of : $17,589,400.46 in 1935 for cooperati n g in the crop adjustment programs. The money was disbursed as rentals cn land retired from the > ? cultivation of basic crops and as o Those Ticks ar Ve point ou conv iere the far Horsf A ( Priced Hit if ittf <> ' it iff if f fifil iiSii^i $* *++ ** TH CARO'GE HE >YAS BITTEN BY A DOG.

THE EDITORS OF CARO-GIMPHICS adjustment payments to the farm-| ers who lmited the production of these crops. The payments in this State for 1935, according to figures announced by Dean I. O. Schaub, of State College, were divided among the growers of various crops as follows: Tobacco growers $9,359,220.81, cotton growers $6,717,981.05, peanut growers $813,904.11, corn-hog producers $634,489.68, and wheat growers $63,804.81. Although this includes all the ehecks distributed during the year, Dean Schaub stated, it does not include all the money due the growers for their part in the 1935 AAA enme nf thp navments pruglcllno, c*0 OVIUV w? ? K ? are still due. Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, and other high government officials announced shortly after the Supreme Court voided the AAA, that some way would be found to complete all payments due farmers under crop adjustment contracts. The total payments for all crops last year, divided by counties, shows that farmers in Warren County received $239,067.11.

S Develop Strong Bee c Colonies In Spring c A bee colony that grows strong v and healthy in the spring will be v in a good position to gather large II quantities of honey when the flow- g ers and trees put forth their bios- t soms. t To insure the development of a strong colony, C. L. Sams, exten- a sion apiarist at State College, urges if beekeepers to examine their colon- t ies on a warm day in early spring, g The colony should have a good t queen, an abundance of food, plenty of brood comb, and a large ? force of workers. It should also be j free from disease. I If the colony has less than 15 t pounds of stores, it should be fed a with honey taken from a healthy i hive that has a surplus or with a syrup made from equal parts of } water and sugar. The condition of the queen may be determined by examining a few combs of brood. Brood from a good; queen will be in solid patches, with j ;ons ive parking store Lir store and id: d Oats, Cow Feed aying Mash, Starti Plow Lines, Bone and Garden Ferti 1-8-3 4-10-4 5-7-5 and NE OF < Id Under A M( \Y YOU TO TF 5S grot Wa ?????????j ?

The abence of brood indicates that the "1 AV\ TT le Aimnnloco UAUiijr xo 4UVW1MVWWI A colony with a weak queen, or without a queen, should be united ritii one that has a vigorous, proific queen. If the colony is in fairly ood condition, it may be advisable o introduce a new queen to take he place of an old or weak one. Bees die rapidly, Sams explained, nd unless a large number of bees 3 raised from the brood in spring, he colony will not be able to ather a great deal of nectar when he honey flow starts. In the warmer sections of the >tate, It will be asafe to open the lives for examination in March, n the cooler |mountain areas, it s best to wait as late as May to ivoid danger of chilling the colones, he warned. Winter Does Not End ' War On Insects The severe cold weather of the >ast few months did not bring space to th our wareli , Beet Pulp, Dog ing and Growing Meal, ilizer w ) UROCER )tiey Back Gu !ADE WITH hers XtXXXXX' i cessation of hostilities in the war to jetween man and insects. The brief truce is now over, said a j. H. Brannon, extension entomo- si ogist at State College, and good b !armers are getting ready to renew A ;he fight. ii Although exceedingly cold tem- 8] Deratures kill some Insects, he said, snough will survive the winter to c seriously damage the crops in the e spring and summer unless preventative measures are taken. The boll weevil can wreck havoc e with the ootton fields if weather c conditions dilring the growing g season are favorable to its devel- 1 apment. f Cotton growers should prepare now tor weevil control, he said. 1: What battle was ever won by wait- s lng until the enemy appeared be- i fore starting to get ready for the ; conflict? he queried. He urged tobacco growers to watch their plant Heds carefully i for signs of flea beetle injury. ' When beetles are found, apply poisons according to recommendations of county farm agents. 1 Horn worms are a continual source of loss to tobacco growers, , but machines have been devised to aid in their control. The same machine can often be used in cot- ; ton fields too, Brannon adde. Derris dust containing three fourths of one per cent rotenone is the most effective poison against Mexican Bean beetles, he stated, and it is not poisonous to human I You Can't Stop A I! ji Here is a point that is often o\ [I tation?if a building or a mat cept as a result of a fire, al II ceases which means if a mat blows down and a fire then ! made under the fire policies. < windstorm policy if a building n of falls as a direct and imm< li the tornado policy is extended age by fire to the subject of 11 CITIZENS INSURANI Representing Only G.
