Dear Mr. Editor: .
Since last week both the Democrat,
ic and Republican Vice Presidential
candidates have given utterance to
their respective political philosophies.
Charlie Curtis of Kansas has taken a
stand on prohibition directly opposite
to that of his chief, President Hoover,
it is going to be very difficult for
President Hoover and Vice President
Curtis to ride the Democratic Jack
ass when each of them are going in
an opposite direction. Republicans
manage somehow to do the impossible
and by “riding and tying” they may
be able to do this seemingly impos
sible stunt.
Speaker Garner visited both Gov
ernor Roosevelt and A1 Smith a few
days ago and if any one can bring
about a measure of harmony between
these former friends, Jack Garner
can do it. He has a very fascinating
personality and is-probably the ablest
and best equipped man by training
and native ability the Democrats have
nominated for Vice President in this
decade. He will prove a tower of
strength to the national democratic
ticket in the coming campaign. No
one can meet Garner without being
profoundly impressed with his per
sonality and hard headed common
sense. ' ‘ "
While it is yet too early to analyze
the popular reaction to Governor
Roosevelt’s speech at Columbus, Ohio,
it makes the most interesting read
ing of any public utterance that has
yet been made by any candidate. He
is both definite and pointed in his
remarks and the policies he enunciat
ed remind one very much of the Ten
Commandments. His address brings
the first ray of hope to the “Forgot,
ten man.” Governor Roosevelt is pre
eminently the most polished orator
,he democratic party has nominated
since Woodrow Wilson was President.
He has a free and easy style which
always impresses an audience he »
also forceful and direct in his deliver?.
It will not be necessary for the peo
ple to puzzle themselves over the pos
sible meaning of Governor Roosevelt,
he is not given to equivocation or am
biguity in speech. This characteris
tic will doubtless prove to be h
strongest asset, the people want men
to say what they mean and mean
what they say. At the present time,
suspense is no longer tolerable.
This scribe was in Greensboro a
few days ago and called on the e
publican Gubernatorial candidate
while in the city. He is a very pleas
ant gentleman to meet, courteous, a
- and quiet in manner,
who know him intimately, consider
him the highest type of man the Re
publicans have ever nominated for
the Governorship in North Carolina.
A most remarkable fact about the
Republican Senatorial and Guberna
torial nominees is the striking physi
cal resemblance between Jake Nowell
and Mr. Frasier. They favor each
other enough to be kinfolks. Mi.
Frasier is under no delusion concern
ing the contest he has been projected
into by Chairman Duncan. He is
thoroughly cognizant of the fact that
in Blucher Ehringhaus he has a foe
man worthy of his steel. He does
not brag or bluster about what he is
going to do to his democratic oppon.
e ,q as he realizes he is going to have
to fight an uphill fight all the way If
he could be relieved from the te -
rible handicap of the present Repubh
c n leadership in North Carolina he
would be in a much better position o
wage a winning fight. Chairman Dun
can and Secretary Foster is too big a
load for even a Democratic candidate
to carry. With such a load, any Re
publican candidate is simply headed
for disaster.
Col. Bob Reynolds, with the aid of
President Hoover and Vice President
Curtis, will simply overwhelm Jake
Newell next November. Jake Newel
starts out in the fight entirely out of
harmony with both of the Naional
Republican candidates and the party
platform. There is no possible way
for him to travel along together with
them, consequently he will not he able
to demand their maximum support.
The prohibition issue promises to be
come a very troublesome question to
both parties in the coming campaign.
If the genuine blown in the bottle
prohibitionist votes for prohibition
nominees next November they will
not effect the strength of either party.
It is highly improbable that they will
feel more kindly to President Hoover,
who has shown so little regard for the
principles involved in the Eighteenth
Amendment, than they will for Gov
ernor Roosevelt, who has taken a po
sitive stand entirely consistent with
his formerly expressed views. Neither
Presidential Candidate can accom.
plish anything looking to the repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment with
out the cooperation of the National
Congress. Should Congress pass a
munity as they are rendering a ser
resubmission bill it will still be in the
hands of the people of the Nation and
as no constitutional Amendment to
the Federal Constitution has ever
been repealed, it is a safe ten to one
bet the Eighteenth Amendment will
never be repealed, no matter who
may be elected this fall. All the hul
labaloo now going on in the Press
and the fervent ballyhoo from the
various public speakers, both pro and
con, relative to the unpopularity of
prohibition is simply “much ado about
nothing.” Eighteenth Amend
ment will remain in the Constitution
just as long as that historic document
is recognized as the fundamental law
of the land. There are too many oth
er vital questions pressing for solu
tion and it will be nothing short of
folly for the American people to
paramount this if sue at this time and
ignore other issues which may mean,
if they are allowed to die, a strike at
the very foundations of our civiliza
tion. Big business is using the pro
posed repeal of Prohibition as a smoke
screen to conceal their nefarious
schemes from the people. 1 his has al_
ways been their policy when they
have to deceive the people. It will
he a great calamity if the people al
low themselves to be hoodwinked
again by an issue which has been set
tled for all time. What this country
needs now above everything else is
jobs for the people and living prices
for the products of the farm. A
heated discussion of Prohibition will
provide neither, whether it is resub
mitted to a popular vote or abolsh
ed entirely. TT ...

Business conditions are beginning
t 0 show some faint signs of improve
ment. People are beginning to hope for
better things in the future and this
fact alone is encouraging. Both Cot.
ton and Tobacco will be higher than
last season, from present indications,
but there is no present sign of any
thing even approaching a state of
normalcy in the business world. In
[til the people’s buying power is re
to-ed there cannot he any appreci
able improvement in business condi
tions. If the business men of the na
tion only had the courage to start
up all our industries on full time wi i
full complemet of employees the
-impression would be licked to a fraz
!zle in thirty days. Farmers and the
working people spend all they maK?
a S soon as they get it and that has
accounted for all the prosperity this
or any other country has ever known.
In the tragic death of Rev. Martin
Luther Kesler of Thomasville
'week the state has sustained an ir.
! reparable loss. He was a great soul,
who built for himself an enduring
monument in the hearts of thousands
| of little orphan children all over this
land. He was wrapped up in his work
1 an ,i he gave his best to the little ones
intrusted to his care and training.
The old axiom so often heard that
“Death loves a shining mark” was
certainly well exemplified in the pass
ing of this good man.
The writer visited the beautiful
little town of Zebulon the past week
and had the pleasure of meeting and
talking with the Rev. Theo. B. Davis
and his charming wife. He and his
talented wife are co-editors of the
Zebulon Record, a weekly newspaper
of unusual merit and interest. Mrs.
Davis contributes a weekly letter to
tbe Record which is alone well worth
the price of the paper. They deserve
the support of the people of the corn
vice which cannot be measured in dol
lars and cents.

TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTIONS: With my feed crops
ruined by the dry weather what can
I plant that will give me feed next
spring 7
ANSWER: Both a hay and grain
crop should be planted this fall. The
hay crop should consist of about two
| bushels of oats with 20 pounds of
vetch to the acre. This should be
broadcast or drilled in between Sep
tember 15 and October 1. For thi
gi ain ration we suggest two bushels
|of oats, five pecks of wheat, or two
bushels of barley. The oats and bar
ley should be sown between October
1 and 15, and the wheat between Oc
tober 15 and November 1. These
crops do not need fertilizer if the land
was fertilized last spring. It will pay,
however, to top dress the crops with
nitrate of soda or sulphate of amonia
next spring.
QUESTION: I have been trying to
improve my land by planting cow
peas. I get a fair crop of hay but
the corn crop the following year is
poor, the plants stunted and the leaves
turn yellow. What is wrong with the
land ?
ANSWER: You trying to do
the impossible. To improve land by
planting legumes, the hay or vines
must be left on the land. The crop
mentioned is a heavy feeder especial
ly for potash and when you cut the
hay you leave the land poorer than
when you started. Plow under the
entire crop for best results or, if the
hay is cut, potash must be added at
the rate of 30 to 50 pounds of muri
ate of potash to the regular corn
fertilizer.
QUESTION: How much acreage
planted to temporary pasture should
I allow for each cow in my herd?
ANSWER: The acreage allowed per
cow depends to a great extent upon
the productivity of the soil but on
good land one-half an acre will pro
duce sufficient feed for spring graz
ng and will also leave a good amount
of material to cut for hay or to turn
under for soil improvement. A fertile
soil however is necessary for best re
sults in any pasture and this should
be fertilized with from four to five
hundred pounds of a complete high
grade fertilizer. With proper fertili
zation and the addition of two tons
of ground limestone one acre will
furnish sufficient grazing for two ani
! mals.
[USES LESS FERTILIZER:
GETS BETTER CROPS
i ~“° —
Because he adopted a rotation in
which the use of legumes was given
a prominent place and reduced his
cotton acreage to give place for live,
stock and feed crops, C. L. Braddy of
Councils in Bladen County reports
better crops from his 150-acre farm
even though he had reduced his costs
for fertilizer by a sizable figure.
The Braddy farm had been cultivat
ed strictly as a cotton and tobacco
place until five years ago when h"
worked out a definite crop rotation
system with the aid of E. C. Blair,
extension agronomist at State Col
lege. Litt lr ‘ attention had been paid
to soil imprpvemen. In 1927, however,
| Mr. Brady began his rotation system
and added soybeans in his corn for
turning under. The beans were plant
ed between the rows of corn and also
jin the row with the corn. He arrang
jed his plantings so that this happen-1
|ed to each field each two years. In
j the meantime, he discontinued the
I growing of cotton and used the re_
leased land for peanuts, cowpeas and
j soybeans.
Mr. Blair rays these crops made it
I feasible for Mr. Braddy to increase
i his cattle and hogs and to grow the
■ same acreage of tobacco as thereto
fore. Recently, he told Mr. Blair that
j his fertilizer hill in 1927 amounted to
$1,009 but in 1932 it was only S2OO
Yet he has better crops this year than
in 1927. He also reported that his
checks for hogs last year enabled
him to stick out the long session of
the General Assembly of which he is
a prominent member.
He found further that by building
up his land with legumes, the fertiliz
er used was more effective nor did he
actually need so much as formerly.
TOBACCO CROP OUTLOOK
Based on crop condition reports on
August 1, the production of tobacco
on North Carolina farms this year |
j will be slightly more than half that
of last year. This year’s yield will
probaby be 200 millions pounds less
than it was last year, and prices are
expected to be correspondingly high, j
However, the recent rains in this sec-)
tion have improved a vert’ poor pros-,
pect to a very cTiC'-’.ur.g’.rg or. . nr 1 ’
it is expected that if li.e present out-j
look cont. to grow brighter, latej
tobacco wii be fifty per cent better
than it promi- i to be a month ago. 1
The price <>f liberty is Eternal
vigilance—and it is always payable
in advance.
