Addreti an communications t® The Enterprise and not to the individual membert of the farm Tuesday, February 13, 1934 The Farmer and the Government A good many people seem to think the government is taking rather too much privilege when it tells them how much of certain crops they may plant. It has been so long that men have been privileged to do just as they pleased that most of us feel it is an encroachment for the government to take a hand in saying what we may or what we may not do. The same opinion prevails with the average child. They all think they should In- permitted to eat all the green apples they want, but the mother who knows aboit the aches and pains green apples cause generally denies the children that privilege. She does it for their sake, and because she knows how much trouble it is to attend a sick child. The government, like the mother, knows more about the farmers' needs than the average individual farmer. The government knows that the price of the farmers' cotton has been held down too low nearly every year for the last forty, simply because we have been carry ing a surplus of from 15 to 25 million bales at a heavy carrying cost and as an assurance to the mill man that the abundance of cotton on hand enabled him to supply his needs at his own price. The only purpose #t he government has in regulating the cotton production is to assure the farmer of a fair price for what he does produce by cutting down the surplus carry-over, which has caused cotton farm ers to lose many hundreds of millions of dollars. And the same thing Applies to tobacco. When the manufacturer has all the leaf tobacco he netfOs he is not going to buy more unless the price is cheap. Our government only wants reasonable cooperative team work, so that growers of crops may get a fair price and those who need crops may have a reasonable supply to meet the trade demands. Remember we fail when we do like we please, so let's cooperate with each other through our govern mnt, and we can and will succeed. Too Many Divorces Twelve divorces in one day are just too many, Yet the Buncombe County court granted that many in a single day last week. The trend of society seems to be toward easier di vorce these days—a thing we Will have to pay for some time. In most cases, divorce means breaking up families—not only of those individuals involved, but others as well. It puts many .children to untold dis advantages, poverty, and shame. The worst of it aH is the light way in which we look at marriage, rushing into wedlock without con-, sidering the principles of what it means. Too many people often forget that marriage is the honorable , plan of prapagating the race of man, and its bonds ■should not be broken except in extreme cases. The mere form of rushing into wedlock and then not be willing to abide the consequences is the cheapest thing that a man or woman can do in life. Where Gold Is God Wliere gold is god, |>eople will sooner or later suf fer, both as individuals and collectively. In our own country, where we have already de throned gold. We find the people nejoiceing and pros pering much more than they did when they were bowed down before a shrine of gold, as our government did for half a century. In France they are having riots, bloodshed, and unrest. They are still clinging to gold, a thing that cannot make them happy in this life nor save them from the wrath to come. They will have to dethrone gold before God will take care of them. The Air Mail Stink It now looks very much like we are going to have * stink in the air—the mail service. The gang that owns the airplanes were friends of Mr. Brown, so Mr. Brown took too much of the people's money and gave it to bis friends—the air mail folks. It is apparently impossible for some people to han dle other folks money without stealing it or turning |t over to their friends on shares. We evidently need darker jails and bigger penitentiaries for public offic ials wfco use the power and opportunities of their of fice to graft pad Meal. & Good Neighbors Ambassador Joaephus Daniels designated this as "Good Neighbor Year" in a speech before a Civic Club in Mexico City last week, which is a fine thing to observe. Just count the values in good neighbors, and you will find they are too great to enumerate. Your chickens are safe when they go into the yard of a good neighbor; good neighbors will not poison your dog, pinch your children, nor abduct your wife; they will lend yu flour, salt, vinegar, sugar, and coffee when you are out. They will not talk mean about you; they will nurse you when you are sick and sym pathize with you when you are in trouble. Good neighbors are certainly one of the greatest assets in life, and it does not apply only to individ uals who live near you; it goes to the ends of the earth and applies to all races, all nations of every kindred and tongue. And the best way to have good neighbors is to be a good neighbor yourself. Finding Himself Carl Goerch, editor of the popular magazine, The State, is fast finding himself. He appeared in Les Forgrave's comic strip a few days ago. Religion by Questionnaire Sews and Observer. The School of Education of Nortwestern University has undertaken to get the statistics on religion belief by sending out questionnaires to the Protestant min isters of Chicago. As a result, it reports the preachers voting 48 per ecnt to 39 per cent that there will be no judgment day, while 13 per cent prudently refused to commit themselves. Sixty-nine per cent of the preachers don't believe in hell, while 31 per cent don t even believe in heaven. All of which proves exactly nothing except that the folly of academic nose counting has been extended to another limit of ridiculousness. The same sort of academic mind was responsible for producing the fig ures to show that Vassar girls each married two-thirds of a husband and produced three-fourths of a child. If the world is plagued today by any one thing more than others, it is that it doesn't understand what it knows. Never in the history of the world was there so much recorded information. Yet never was man more completely lost in the maze of his own collected knowledge. In the face of such a situation the col leges go on counting noses to get more figures which often mean nothing at all. If the colleges spent a lit tle of the time now occupied with composing ques tionnaires and adding up the answers itt^tltempting to correlate the essential information now existing but not understood, a great gain would be made. I'he truth is, however, one suspects, there are more Ph.D.s who can count than can think. It would be cruel, therefore, to stop them from counting. Never theless, it does seem a pity that a great University like Northwestern should be put down as giving its name to a move to shape religious faiths by counting clerical noses with no regard for the variety of brains behind the noses. If the brains were counted, it would not be science; and, the brains not being count ed, it remains both pure science and pure foolish ness. The Maternal Death Rate Stanley News and Press. The State Board of Health is one department of state government which is certainly worth while, and it is more or less distressing that thousands of„ our citizens who should use some of its services are not sufficiently interested to ask this help. Right now the board is concentrating its efforts on the reduction of the maternal mortality in North Carolina, now about 30 per cent higher than the United States aver age. Physicians throughout the state have agreed to lend their support to the campaign. It is a sad fact, but true, that in this great civiliaed state of North Carolina that for every one thousand live babies born, eight mothers die. To the cold blooded mathematician, that might not sound so bad, but when ye are informed that the death rate in Utah is four and two-tenths, and in Denmark only two and five-tenths, we hang our heads in shame. The physicians are to be commended for their wil lingness to contribute time and energy to this cam paign, but they are waging a discouraging battle; discouraging because they must combat ignorance and prudery in the high as well as the low places. Fath ers and mothers would go into nervous prostrations if they found their son or daughter playing with matches and a stick of dynamite, yet they will smile with blissful happiness when a young man and woman walk down the aisle, as ignorant of what marriage holds for them, or the way to meet the problems which immediately confront them as the proverbial babes in the woods. Dynamite is a small-time danger com pared to this. Bqfare the couple learns by sad experi ence, those things which are the causes of divorces, unhappy homes, maternal and infant deaths cannot be corrected. It is true that we need the help of the physicians in this great campaign, but first we need parents who are (rank, educators who are broad-minded; and leg islators who are courageous enough to put into the hands, hearts, and minds of the young men and young women of this country the information which they should have have. t When M Man's Usefulness Is Spent When does a man lose his usefulness in a com munity?
