THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
WANTS COW RECOGNIZED J
| AN,ASSET TO FARMERS I
Governor McLean Anxious to Make
Dairying Major Business in This
j State.
State Capital Bureau of ,
The Concord Daily Tribune ,
Sir Walter Hotel Lobby
Raleigh. April 17. —Cotton and to- ,
bacco have a third rival for the affix-- ,
| tions of the North Carolina farmer— j
tfie demure, large-eyed, Innocent ap- 1
penriug dairy cow.
Now bossy looks shy and rHir'ng. ,
but nevertheless, she is a fast worker. .
Her reputation, lias preceded her ,
from Wise,-ms'll, where she left the ,
dairy ( farmers sitting on the top of ,
the world in the mist of an ag-icul- <
tnral depression that has caused tlis- ,
content and outright suffering in other ’
farming sections, and the M'sscs Cot
ton and Tobacco arc said so bo losing
much of that confidence born of years
of iinqucstionocd dominance as their
willin’ slave casts appraising eyes at
the neweomer and listens attentively
to tales of tile wonders she has done
in other sections.
Governor A. W. McLean might be
cast as a match-maker in this U’ttle
pastoral romance. Since his inaugu
ration as Governor, and. in fact, dur
ng his campaign, he has advocated
at every opportunity that North Car
olina's farmers turn from a crop ro
tation which includes only cotton and
tobacco, crops which, admittedly, de
plete the soil, and practice a form of
diversified farming which will have
as an important item the dairy cow,
in as large numbers as the individual
farms will permit.
Speaking from tils own experience
is a practical farmer, the governor
declared, in a speech before the North
Carolina Ice Crenm Manufacturers’
Association, in Charlotte:
“That North Carolina has not long
since become a state in which dairy
ing provides one of file most valuable,
instead of a relatively negligible, land
uses has been due to a number of caus
es —the lack of large cities, indifferent
means of transportation, want of mar
kets and a lack of co-operative facil
ities. At bottom, however, the real
-atise of our lack of initiative in this
-espect has been an adherence to an
ient farm practice depending on the
lit or miss method of one or two ster
typed crops, often w'thout regard,
-ven. as to whether the prices obtain
'd were or were not greater than the
-oat of production. There is not a
lection in the state in which there are
lot. generally speaking, the conditions
in our farms which suggest dairying
is a profitable economic pursuit. Any
’ives-tock undertaking is based on eco
nomical feeding, which requires fer
ile soil and suitable weather condi
tions. including plentiful rainfall.
These essentials North Carolina pos
sesses to a remarkable degree.’’
This message lias been driven home
again mid again nnd is (he beginning
to produce results. Farmers are be
ginning to compare their lot with
that of their brothers in other sec
idns where diversified farming, with
lairying (included in our leading the
ist. is practiced.
Not only has the administration car
ried the gospel to North Carolina’s i
iwn farmers, but. wherever possible,
lie unutilized advantages of the state l
from n dairying standpoint have been ’
broadcast to other sections. :
To Wisconsin, for instance, the 1
-netsage has gone and is going. In
Wisconsin, it has been found, dairy 1
farmers are making money—real mon
'y„ at that—but much of it goes for
taxes and they are tired of seeing tax
aws passed to wipe out their profits
even before they accrue. 1
Mississippi already has taken ad
vantage of this restlessness on the
part of Wisconsin dairymen and, by
means of persistent advertising cam
paigns “Know Mississippi Better”
calvaeadoK led by the governor nnd
lieutenant-governor and other metli- :
ods, h«R caused a migration to that
state from Wisconsin alone which
roughly resembles the Florida move
ment. As a consequence, Mississippi
seems .due to share with the ‘black
belt” of Alabama premier dairying
honors in the South for some little
time to come.
What Mississippi has done. North
Carolina can do, is Governor McLean’s
belief and he is working to that end.
The State radio broadcast station
will be used to call attention of dairy
farmers elsewhere what the state has
to offer. Much correspondence already
has gone out nnd publications in the
North have been unusually kind to
North Carolina in the matter of fav- 1
orable publicity. There may, at some I
not far distant date, be a North Car- •
olina ealvacade headed northward to
spread the doctrine of Carolina the
Great, but that lias not yet emerged
from the realm of conjecture.
Authorities on dairying, Including
those attached to the Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture, agree that the
South is the logical dairying center
of the United States. Feed can be
grown much more economically here,
since there is grazing practically the
year ’round, they point out. Huge
investments In weather-tight barns
for protection during the winter arc
obviated and milk cows actually re
act to the milder climate by produc
ing more butterfat than in the North.
That means more salable product at
lower cost.
Conclusive evidence of the hold cot
ton and tobacco have on the North
Carolina farmer, and of the entire
South for that matter. Is found in the
fact that, in the face of these super
ior advantages for the production of
dairy products, Wisconsin ships mil
lions of pounds of products from her
dairy farms into this section annually.
That is the prfradoxial situation
wb'ch Governor McLean hopes to
remedy through campaigns among
Carolina farmers themselves and by
bringing into the state farmers who
know dairying and, consequently, will
be deaf to the siren song of the Lo
reli duo, Cotton and Tobacco.
Cape Cod claims some of the best,
golf courses in the world, because of

to - the great links in Scotland.

Newspapers Should Print Crime
News, Dr. Brill, Psychiatrist, Says
The New York World prevailed
upon Dr. A. A. Briil. psychiatrist,
psychoanalyst, translator of Freud, i
to explain why so many newspaper
renders followed Chapman's life of
crime and were saddened at his i
death.
“From the days of Robin Hood we ;
have always made heroes of our hold
up men nnd women romance about i
them.” the doctor said. “As young- i
sters nowadays we read Nick Carter, i
Wien we grow up \vt■ read about
Chapman nnd the Whittemore gang. I
In such accounts the law-abiding cit- i
izen who is robbed and the detective i
who is looking for the robber are
never looked upon with favor.
“The reason is that we chafe tinder
law and order. Responsible citizens
even venture into crime when it comes
to faking an income tax return slight
ly or not declaring all the things they
bought abroad when they came home
through the customs. So much we
allow ourselves, but we hold back at
stealing and killing.
“Yet we like to read about t'he clev
er crook who gets away from the hon
est policeman, principally because the
criminal tendency in us finds a fa
miliar note. We identify ourselves
with him, and that gives relief to the
suppressed criminal tendency in us.
And that is good. It is much better
for a man to read about some one
killing another man than to do such
a killing himself.

WHY PRIMROSE DAY?
No One Seems to Know Just Why
the Custon Wai Iv.tah' -hed.
London, April 17.—Next Monday,
in accordance with a custom started
nearly half a centry ago, there will be
ail observance of Primrose Day, in
tribute to the memory of Benjamin
Disraeli. Lord Beaeonsfield. The day
will mark tile anniversary of the
death of the celebrated statesmaaand
in 1881.
Tq many it doubtless has appeared
odd that the modest and quiet-hued
primrose should have become asso
ciated with the name and fame of
Lord Beaeonsfield. whose tastes were
flamboyant, and who, as a young man,
was as remarkable for his waistcoats
as for his clever novels. Even as
a statesman he was grandiose, and,
as Gladstone remarked in reference
to his alleged fondness for the prim
rose: “The gorgeous lily, 1 think,
was more to his taste.” A certain
London newspaper stated that the
woods were denuded of primroses to
commemorate a stateman who recom
mended them as a salad.
There are two stories current re
garding t'he reason for connecting the
primrose with Disraeli's memory. The
first is that when lie was a young man
he made a bet of a pair of gloves with
a lady respecting a wreath of the yel
low blossoms, the point in dispute be
ing whether they were real or arti
ficial. Mr. Disraeli—as he then
was—stated that they were real, and
won the bet. The lady thereupon
presented him with one of the prim
roses, and Disraeli, with the impetu
ous gallantry of youth, vowed that he
would treasure the flower and adopt
it as his badge.
The other story which is said to
have given rise to the Primrose Day
observance and to account for the
statute of the great Victorian states
man being smothered in primroses ev
ery April 19th, is traced to words
used by Queen Victoria, who was in
ithe habit of sending primroses from
I Windsor Park to her favorate states-1
man. On one occasion she enclosed
the words. “His favorite flower," ob-1
vionsly referring to her late husband,
I’rince Albert. »
The annual celebration of Primrose
Day owes ite origin to the late Sir
GeojTje Birdwood, who, on the first
anniversary of the death of Lord Bea
consfield, suggested to his fellow mem
bers of the St. Stephen’s Club that
they should decorate with primroses
the -dining tables of the club as a
silent tribute to the memory of the
statesman. The next year it was '
determined that an annual festival
should be inaugurated, and Sir George
made arrangements with a wholesale
firm of Covent Garden florists to ad
j vertise, largely at his expense, a sup
ply of primroses to any extent for
April 10th.
The idea caught on, and was fol
lowed by the establishment of a Prim
rose League with branches all over
Great Britain, and in parts of Ire
land. This powerful political organ
ization was founded jointly by Sir
Henry Drummond Wolff and Lord
Randolph Churchill.
Curiously enough the flower now
universally paired with the name and
fame of Lord Beaconsfield and the
ideals for which be stood was an
ciently associated only with ill-luck,
and considered by Shakespeare a fit- |
ting funeral flower for youth. Among
the country folk in many parts of
England the primrose is still esteemed
an unlucky flower. To this day in
East Anglia, as well as throughout
■ the western counties, it is regarded
as an invitation to disaster and mis
fortune to take a single primrose in*
I to the farm house. Some believe
that one of the modest blossoms in
the bouse means that a member of
the family will die before the year is
the night Officers* Kester and Tal
bert arrested two men near town
who admitted according,
that they were the ones wild'made

One of them has a wound on the

pie get their outlet—by proxy. That
is why they tend to forgive the crim
inal. He has taken their sins upon
himself.
“The publication of crime news is
a necessary function in a civilization
which is based on ‘Thou slialt not
steal.' and 'Thou s'lialt not kill.’ Those
who are interested i,n such news,
thereby identifying themselves with a
criminal like Chapman, feel they are
going to be hanged. They hope he
will not suffer the penalty. When
fie is hanged they are depressed by it
for a short while. Theii they rebound
and the cartharsis—the mental purge
—is complete.
“Nevertheless,” the doctor con
tinued, “do not be misled. The, pub
lication of the news of crime is even
more important than publication of
the news of punishment.
“It fins no effect on those who ac
tually tend to commit criipe. .Crim
inals are born, not made. Even the
powerful suggestion ,of environment
cannot make them criminals unless
they are born that way. After all,
in the end. Chapman is hanged. Ev
en if a boy has no home control, lie
will be taught to be law abiding by
liis common sense unless he is a de
fective. I would consider Chapman
a moral idiot.
“If t*he newspapers were to stop
printing crime news it would be
harmful. Suppressed tendencies of
law abiding citizens would have to
take other bypaths to relief.”

loss among chickens, calves, lambs
and other farm stock will inevitably
result.
