When eight months of schooling is provided for every child and property taxes are re duced at the same time well, that is something to brag about.

The brethren overdraw the pic ture. Beer is a mild beverage that is drunk all the time all over the world -by millions of men and women who show no signs of be ing injured by it either in their physique or their morals. More over, the wailcrs would do well to cease their wailing for a few mo ments and ' reflect that for many years, in this era of so-called Prohibition, vast quantities of beer have been' consumed in North Carolina'' without "making the state a sink ot iniquity. At a meeting, in New York a few days ago Rev. Clarence True Wilson said: "If America has any religion or ,, any morality or any conimon sense in finances left, it will react unfavorably to the beer regime and will protest against the underworld having the upper hand, against the lawless dictating laws, against the beer barons perpetrat ing their trade and demands upon American society." Beer-drinking is lawful in all the other important countries in the world.' Are religion and morality 'acking in those countries? Ob viously not. Everybody who has the slightest acquaintance with Can ada and the European nations, eith er through travel or through read i ng, knows that - th eir in habit an tr. h a YeTidr beeTidegra3ed because they are free to drink beer. In credible as it may seem to the Reverend Mr. Wilson and others of his mind, to drink beer is not necessarily to be a. sinful wretch.' Through their exaggerations, their denunciation of individuals and organizations in disagreement with them, their dire prophecies of doom, and (in the case of many the outcry against Prohibition than has been the thirst for alcoholic drink.

Now it is entirely possible that we shall abuse the privilege of beer. We should not be in char acter unless we did, for in North Carolina change seems to come only by extremes. We are either very wet or very dry, teetotallers or topers, profligate or parsimo nious. We are not a moderate crew: we must put on all sail or let the barque lie becalmed with masts stretching up like skeleton fingers. There is the risk that beer will do bad things to us, denude us of UierTlourness-that-rat-leasIf -passes for dignity, cause us to yell when the proper thing to do is to sing. Despite that hazard there comes to us a- glow of satisfaction not to be explained entirely by the im minence of a new beverage.' A good part of it, in fact, is derived solely from the thought that at last North Carolina has left off its posing and gone natural CHAR LOTTE NEWS. DRASTIC ECONOMY Those who have been demanding economy in' North Carolina . haw every reason to regard with com plete satisfaction the " figures in the appropriations bill as agreeu upon by the House and Senate conferees. Yet it is doubtful it there is a general understanding o: the tremendous extent " to " whici the appropriations of the state have been cut by this General As sembly. The 1931 General Assembly made total appropriations for the bien nium, 1931-33, of $106,946,773. The present General Assembly is mak ing appropriations for the bien nium; 1933-35, totaling $83,159,218, or a reduction of 22 per cent, in spite of the fact that in the new biennium provision is made for a state - supported eight months montns term provided tor m 1931. In reality the reduction in ap propriations for all expenditures of governmental operation was great er than this. Minus the debt ser- inm ion a li.. aonroDriatcd $83,409 Sflft th biennium, while the present Gen eral Assembly is appropriating on ly $56,530,595.

The individual growers have con trol . over these two important matters and they have, partial con trol .over developing specialized markets for their ' products.

The dole system of feeding is bad. Poor range conditions will not develop the pullets properly. Ample shade, feed and water containers and green feed shoukl be provided during the hot weather usually occurring during the developing season. WHEN PASTURES FAIL PAST experience has proven that it does not pay for the North Carolina dairyman to depend on his permanent pasture for roughage during , the months of July and Auust. . "ProloTied droughts for the past two or more years indicate the necessity for the dairyman to have an insurance crop to furnish graz ing during this part of the sum mer. To depend on pastures will mean that the cows will lack feed," says -A. C Kimrey, dairy extension specialist at State College. "It is hot too early now to make plans for the proper i feedings. of jdairy cows in July and August. Pastur ing a crop that will furnish contin aaus growth during this period is a good practice and there is no better, crop for this purpose than Sudan grass. Mr. Kimrey says ' various meth ods have been resorted to by dairymen to have the necessary succulent roughage during the late summer. Summer silage has been used and is satisfactory when available in sufficient quantities. Soiling crocs have been used but the labor tiece99rrv to cut and naui tneie croci . io ins oarns I?''

The best -way to feed is to dilute the molasses - with -one - part - of .water to three parts of molasses and spray the mixture over the rough age. Undiluted molasses may also bc36uredi)ve'r"th elraiir feed' but the former method gives best re sults. Not more than one quart a day should be fed each animal. Question: A number of fertile eggs in my incubator failed to hatch What causes this? Answer: There are many fac tors causing this trouble but the lack of vitality on either side of the breeding pen, carelessness in storing eggs for hatching, extreme variation of the temperatufc or humidity in incubator are the prin cipal reasons.

Answer: A light application of stable manure should be made be fore the spring plowing. If this is not available Nitrate of Soda may be used and scattered .around the vine at the rate of one-half pound per vine.
