It I would save the State hundreds rtf thousands dollars, j and at th" same time, the ex-pr.soners would not lx* so g eat a menace to s tciety.* • » ■ . I nder the proper parole system, the prisoner w.nild !*> the strict supervision of a parole of- j ficer. As it is now, the prisoner completes his term and goes out of prison just as bad as he was when he entered, feeling that he has paid his debt and has the the right to do o» he peases again. If we had a j proper parole board, then the prisoner could IK- re | leased with the understanding that what he owes his State is good citizenship. I'nder such a system, half if not more might be improved'in character by hold ing before them a different picture of life. Our prison p ipulatio'n could l>e reduced [*rhaps by one-third, and the savings from this reduction would ! pay the cost of a parole board many times. An Impracticable Budget Figures are always right, but those who make them are frequently wrong. We are agreed that there is much danger in criticising our superiors and it is cer tainly not good taste to dispute with those who are trying to help us. We d > feel as if some criticism may well be directed to the "harm I'ood Supply and l'eeo Budget" recently sent out by Dr. I O. Schaub, di rector of our experiment station, Raleigh. Mr. Scaub gives the family needs-for various prod ucts such as corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, hay, meat, milk, eggs, beef fowls, garden crops, and the acreage required to maintain a family of 5 in all theiH' foods. He also gives the acreage necessary to feed and pas ture the cow. the l>eef, one sheep and one horse. The' I total acreage necessary, according to Mr. Schaub's | figures, is greater than we now have, and to meet , the proposed schedule, Martin county would have to increase its present cleared acreage by one-third. The program would Iw entirely impractical in our county. The a'lolted acreage in the program would require about six acres per person allowing each acre to pro duce an average of the crops named in the bulletin. The science that we need to know is how to live on j fewer acres rather than increase them. The pamphlet in .question would require for the | family and stink 42 bushels of wheat or two acres; j 283 bushels of corn, 11 acres; 55 bushels of oaf, two [ acres; 625 pounds of cottonseed meal, one acre*- I Wheat shorts, wheat bran, fish meal, bone meal are ; not allowed any acreage. Seven tons of hay, 7 acres; five acres of pasture; one-fifth an acre of potatoes, ande one-half acre for garden. We have no fault to find with the food balance, but we are sure the acreage is out of line, that Martin County farmers can follow some other feed and food crops that will do as well on an acreage reduced by one-third. It is important that farmers should change from their old methods. However, they can plant an acre of sweet potatoes "and cut out 2 acres of corn; they could combine soybeans with corn and cut an other third; they could plant peanuts and cut part of the hay acreage. The farmer that can't feed fifty chickens, one milch cow, one beef animal, five sheep, one horse and five hogs and raise all the potatoes, corn, oats and cotton seed necessary for one family on fifteen acres of average Martin County land is no farmer. The trouble has been that the 20-acre farmer has planted 12 acres in money and 8 acres in feed crops. There is where the shortage has been and there is whre the change must be made. The Farm Budget Some more politics is bobbing up over the re-dis tricting of the State into eleven instead of ten con gressional units. Many things are being taken into consideration. Several people want to run as congressman-at-large, among them being old man W. C. Newland and Fete , Murphy. They will not want the State re-districted. Then there is the task of so dividing the State that the political ballast will hold the ship in place. This calls Kir much concerted thinking Then it might be that the districts with a small population will have to yield to the larger, ones having twice as many votes as some other ones. The task is a per plexing one, it seems. Hope Lies in a Limited Acreage Will farmers rush to the money crop side of far ming this year is still a question that should be given careful study and sober thought. While it would seem that the great loss suffered by the farmer in producing cotton and tobacco during the past two years would cause .them to limit their acreage, 14—4«— whispered around that the tobacco growers are going in strong for a big crop this year. Coming down to the individual books of each far mer in this county for last year, it is conceded that there was a net loss on the tobacco produced. Many farmers say if they had rested the days they labored in the tobacco field, kept the money they paid foi fertilizer, tobacco cloth, wood cutting and the many other necessities connected with raising and harvest ing the crop, they would have more money today than they have got. j The question now is, Are we going to try the game over again with a big supply of tobacco on hand and with conditions less favorable for normal purchases : by customers? It naturally looks as if farmer has about the same chance to get rich by planting a bigc, j acreage to tobacco as a boy has in pulling the lever to a slot machine that is designed and set to rob him. The easiest way to make money growing tobacco j this year will be found in a limited acreage and good : tare of that raised. Postponing Revaluation Work The question of revaluing property has been dis cussed at length, from mountain to the sea, during recent weeks, and it is hard to say just what pro cedure is the best to follow. Last week, the State Leg islature passed an act postponing the revaluation work until the middle of March or April, 1931. The method of quadrennial assessments which has been followed so long has become a fixed habit, and > is, }>erha[>s, a good plan. However, it might be wise ; not to adhere strictly to the plan at all times. So far as tax saving is concerned, if incomes and fortunes now escaping tax to a large extent can be brought in the proper link and made to carry their share of the burden, land will feel a freedom that will not con- j cern the owners so much about the assessment. A new assessment will doubtless leave things just ' as much out of balance as they are now and result in a considerable money cost. Less Talk and More Action' Needed The price of bread and sugar is the last thing ( quarreled about, making it appear that there is too much fussing and too little doing. At the present prices, a normal man who .works an be fed a year on good wheat bread for about $9 and get more sugar than he needs for a year for $3, about what one good day's automobiling would cost. Of course, those who are too proud to cook will have to make a little larger allowance for bread. Less talking and more action is what the people need. Sherman and War Some one has said that if Sherman had lived until now, he would look upon time business as he looked ed upon war. He declared "war is hell." Needed A Revival of Honesty The records in the courthouse at Windsor show an unusual activity in the transfer of land, with a num ber of the transfers going to women of the county, i Roger Babson, nationally known economist and busi | ness statistics, says we will not recover from the j present depression until we have a revival of honesty and the jieople show as much willingness to pay their obligations as they did in contracting them. The dodge of transferring property to another to escape l»yment of just debts is an old one, the practice is sometimes successfully employed in escaping obliga tions. But it always carries with it loss of confidence and res|>ect that most men value more than dollars and cents; and its use at this time is not calculated to stimulate and revive prostrate community and business courage. We will recover our lost position quicker, we believe, by standing by our ship than by employing shady subterfuges that brave men abhor. —Bertie Ledger-Advance. "The Way Out and Up" The Christian Advocate describes some of the lost conditions of man, as follows: * "Lost in paradise, given over to murder and lust; lost in the wilderness, unable to find the way out; lost among the nations, doomed to suffer the fate of dead empires, has been the record of the race What is so pathetic as the lost college man, certain of nothing? What is so hopeless as the lost preacher in . his pulpit and among his people, not sure where he is going? What of the lost business man, confused and helpless, with his insatiate greed for gold and place and power? Or the woman in the home, lost to the highest and best in her love of show and world ly display? Lost and unable to find the way out is the common lot." The article fail. ,to dwell especially on children who are, in a way, the most important of all. What we need to do in this crisis is to save the child. If we can save the child, men, women and empires will be safe. How can we expect to save them when we lead them up and down and around the crooked ways of We. With all our boasted civilisation and training it is hard to believe feature are doing as much to m«e our children industrous, economical, thought ful, truthful and honest as the people did who dis covered America and built our 'nation THE ENTER PRISE NOTICE OF SALE I North Carolina, Martin County —ln the Superior Court.
