While busines firm are finding it costly in strictly following the various codes under the National Recov ery Act, farmers are facing an even more serious sit uation in this section. In fact, the whole labor situa tion is shot to pieces just at the present time, but there is some hope in the future. Entertaining the idea that President Roosevelt has made it unlawful for them to work more than eight hours a day, a few farm laborers are said to have left their jobs unfinsihed. Prices paid for the labor ranged as high as $2 a day, the farmers finding it next to impossible to pay that much. With their crops fac ing ruin in the fields and no assurance that prices will be better this fall, many farmers are really facing a serious situation. Back in 1920 some farmers |>aid as much as $5 a day for laborers to harvest a tobacco crop that sold for 18 cents. Many farmers finished their odtdoors careers then and there. Now they are finding it necessary to pay high wages on 11-cent to bacco sold last season, and they have no assurance that the price will be higher this marketing season. With the farmer whose credit is gone, it is humanly impossible for him to pay higher wages until he gets higher prices for what he has to sell. The success of the NRA in agricultural sections depends upon the prices of agricultural products. Don't Rush To Town The great advance in wages will make more men go to farming on their own hook in this nation, which is one of the needs of the country. One of the greatest menaces to the South is the fellow who throws his destinies in other men's hands. Now is the time for every man who has the ambi tion to became an independent citizen, to buy land, build his own shack, and launch yut for himself. There are millions who need to rush from the crowd ed towns and cities and get out in the open country, where they will be able to dig out a living for them selves and multiply their happiness. It makes no difference how high wages go, don't rush to town. You will hardly find city life as sat isfactory as you expect it to be. Count the Cost Mothers, which way do you prefer to educate your child—on a dollar that your husband has to drink four dollars worth of liquor or beer to produce, or the dollar straight without the drinking? Watch the effect and count the cost of tax raised from alcohol. Which Is Right? Greenville News-Leader. Two men who had many achievements to their credit were talking the other day in Greenville about happiness, and how it was attained. "I tell you," said one, "there is only one source of happiness on earth—and that's power. No matter whether it comes from the possession of wealth, of position, or of office, nothing gives man the same satisfaction that comes from know that he has the power to get results." "You are as wrong as a man can be," the other man answered. "Power doesn't bring happiness. It brings anxiety. The happiest person is l not the richest or the most famous or the most -influential. The most desirable power is the power of appreciation. A man or a woman who learns to appreciate goodness and beauty and all the other fine things in life is immeas urably happier than the man who gets results. I'd rather be a man who is fine-spirited, capable of ap preciating the daily splendor of life than to have all the power of President Roosevelt or of Mussolini." Which of the two do you think was right? The Good Life Netoi and Observer. There are thousands in America today who are hop ing that the campaign for recovery will carry the country back to timet similar to boom days of 1929, There arc, however, more people than ever before who are looking for recovery to bring not the chance of riches but the certainty of security. J President Roosevelt t ipi'msd the aspiration of these when he spoke last week to the boy* training for (arm work at the Bowdoin Farm near the Sum §r mer White House at Hyde Park. The President de clared: "More and more people are discovering that if they go to live on a farm they will never starve to death, while they may if they remain in the city. Of course, in the city they have a "chance of becoming million aires. But there are lots of things better than grow ing exceedingly rich, and one of them is having the assurance of a competence, of a sufficient living, of a good life and good neighbors. A good life and good neighbors are to be preferred not only on the farm but in city, as well, far above the chance of riches and the opportunity to work and to make a contribution to society more to be desired than the old effort to get something for nothing. The good life means the opportunity to live and work in security and not living in a gamble between great riches and deep poverty in which there are few win ners but a multitude of losers. Something More Required Greensboro Daily News In the perennial agitation over tobacco prices, those who are urging farmers to whoop it up with the bland assurance that sufficient noise will fetch a Washing ton angel, carrying a shotgun for the buyers under one wing and a bag of gold for the producers under the other, are rendering disservice to the farmers and the consuming public alike. It will take monre than telegrams from Governor Talmadge, protest votes of mass meetings, adoption of meaningless resolutions, and generalized charges of monopoly to egect equitable relief. And that pre sumably is the sort of relief, fair to the farmer, the manufacturer, and the public, which those who have given the situation sober consideration desire. Dema goguery, generation of disgruntlement, and clamor which fail to take cognizance of mutual responsibility offer no acceptable approach.^ Secretary Wallace, in his Atlanta address, empha sized that there must be a "sentipient among the grow ers" before governmental assistanc eis forthcoming. By entiment the agricultural head did not mean mere articulation, sa babel of voices for what would amount to no more than a hand-out. Thve must be senti ment for "an agreement," and an agreement implies mutual responsibilities. Back of the clamor for aid must be a willingness to cooperate, to organize, to curtail and control production, to aid in bringing sup ply and demand to the point of convergence. Wheat and cotton growers made sacrifices and concessions to secure government bounty, and similar concessions, represented by domestic allotment agreements, must be made by tobacco growers if they, too, are to bene fit from economic planning and a process tax. Previ ous inability of these growers to organize, to establish ordinancy among their own ranks, is largely to blame for their plight. These traits must be manifested be fore the government takes them into partnership in an attempted solution. Those who are prodding the growers, with a cer tain amount of agitation doubtless required, should direct at least a part of their prodding in the direc tion of recognized responsibility and a heretofore miss ing spirit of cooperation. The Law of Jackson Watauga Democrat Almost the last words of a godly pioneer mother, brought by letter to a distinguished son, Andrew Jackson, are said to have been the law of the great statesman's life. Mrs. Jackson ran strong on grati tude, and the philosophy of the message sent to her worthy son is just as good today as when penned: "Andrew, if I should not see you again, I wish you to remember and treasure up some things I have al ready said to you: In this world you have to make your own way. To do that you must have friends. You can make friends by being honest, and you can keep them by being steadfast. You must keep in mind that friends worth having will in the long run expect as much from you as they give to you. To forget an obligation or be ungrateful for a kindness is a base crime—not merely a fault or sin, but an actual crime. Men guilty of it soiner or later must suffer the penalty. In personal conduct be always polite, but never obsequious. None will respect you more than you respect yourself. Avoid quarrels as long as you can without yielding to imposition. But sustain your manhood always. Never bring a suit in law for assault and battery or for defamation. The law affords no remedy for such outrages that can satisfy the feelings of a true man. Never wound the feelings of others. Never brook wanton outrage upon your own feelings. If you ever wish to vindicate your feelings or defend your honor, do it calmly. If ai Wy, at grst, wait till your wrath cools before you proceed." Ttye Last Blow Asheville Times. Lamentations over the North Carolina school sit uation persistently cry out in the columns of the state Ihe Inancial status is bad enough to cause ex hausting grief, but now the revelation of inadequate water and sanitary facilities causes The Sutetville Daily and other papers to brand the condition of the schools as disgraceful, while the Greensboro Daily News observes, "Somebody ought to be put in jail about these school indecensies." But so far, the heads of the state school administra tion have not even addressed to the people either promise or hope of correction for shameful conditions. As for the Governor and his associates, they we evi dently stumped when it comes to devising means to provide pure water and the facilities of sanitary school life. Millions can be obtained for highways, but not a cent for digging wells or laying pipes. THE ENTERPRISE • FOR VEGETABLES NEXT FALL KEEP GARDEN GOING Most Crops Should Be Put In Ground by Third Week in August Most garden crops must be plant ed by the second or third week in August if they are to mature sufficient ly for food before frost in the eastern and central parts of North Carolina. "There is an old adage of take a vacation yourself but do not give the garden one," says E. B. Morrow, ex tension horticulturist at State Col lege. "There are a number of stand ard crops which might be planted now to provide fall vegetables and where the spring garden was hurt by dry weather it would be wise to make the plantings as early as possible. A good fall garden is always possible in this State and should be planted." Among the crops recommended by Morrow, snap beans have first place. They should be planted every three weeks up to within 60 days of the date of the first killing frost. This means that beans may be planted as late as September first in some parts of the State. Beets prefer cool weather, but may be seeded in August. The Early Wonder and Crosby's Egyptian are two varieties which will mature 10 days earlier than most of the others. The Copenhagen Market and Jersey Wakefield are two early varieties of cabbage which may be set with rea sonable assurance of a crop, even at this late date. The cabbage must be grown rapidly, however, with appli cations of nitrate of soda given to promote growth. Cabbage worms cause trouble at this seasoh and may be controlled by calcium arsenate or lead arsenate. Cowpeas and turnips are two old "stand-bys" in the fall garden. Suc cess with turnips depends on a good seed bed and the land being heavily coated with well-rotted manure. Give the main crop varieties, such as Pur ple Top Globe, 10 to 12 weeks time to mature, Mororw advises. NOTICE Having qualified as executrix of the estate of R. J.
