Tuesday, November 13,1934 Keep Accurate Records Farmers and ranchmen of the United States will be required early next year to give a complete record of their operations during the present year. Each farm operator, whether he be owner or tenant, will be asked 100 questions, which embrace number of acres and production of all kinds of crops, value, etc., fertilizers used, sale and food and feed values of crops, also in come from orchards, vineyard*, xardens, records of all stock, paultry and the income from them. Every farmer in the country needs to keep a rec ord of everythinx that he produces, from a bale of cot ton to an egx. Don't wait and guess, but keep a record. It is the government's business to help every farm er and it is your best partner. It has rescued you from the grasping gamblers and wants to continue its serv ice. Therefore, the government is entitled to know what the folks have and what yiey may need; Some may take the position that it is nobody's business, which is a serious mistake, because this informa tion is intended only to help the producer, and not for tax purposes or for speculation. " Farmers, get your books and count the eggs you eat, those you sell, and the price received; count the chickens hakhed. eaten, and sold; tb? hogs raised, sold and slaughtered for home use, as well as the price received for that sold; and so on down the whole line, in order that both you and your government will bet ter understand how to plan and operate your business. Write the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, Washington, I). C., for schedules and oth er information. It will be a wonderful help to you. Planning for Another Year What will be the fundamentals upon which the farming, laboring, and business people base their plans for the coming year? Will our desire for money and more money cause us to forget that there are val ues greater than gold and silver? Never was there a time when we needed to look well to the future am) Nifty a ?? ?*n?ihl< and safe, than now ff we sell lohacrn ton high and? get too much, money, it will ruin us or our children. We need to work for a living; if we work for money, we will lose it; if we work for a living, we will always have something and certainly be happier. Thanksgiving is so near, and we have had so many express our thanks. We need to begin planning for another year, and planning on a basis of first feeding and clothing, edu cating, and making a little money "on the side." This section bankrupted itself once by trying to make more money. Let's not do it again. Indigestion in the Literary Digest The Literary Digest must have gotten hold of the wrong gang to do its voting this time. In fact, it has appeared for some time that the Digest has had in digestion. It was evidently caused by that magazine refusing to eat the good, pure, wholesome food of democracy embraced in the New Deal. Now they find that that old falsehood handed to them by the Morgaa Mellon-Mills gangsters is loaded with selfishness, graft, and grab, and the Digest has found a public that has changed its taste and is no longer willing to be gov erned by a government ruled by a gang that only hands it a few scraps. So, Digest, if you are really going to digest, you will have to get at the same table with the Great American public, which not only be lieves in but cherishes democracy, the kind that has saved them from rags and hunger. Time To Reverse Things Industry complains when it cannot make dividends. ' Capitalists should remember that the hour glass has to be turned to Uep good time. If the industrialists will check the situation closely they will find that everything has poured their way for years, and they will realise that ft is now time to reverse things and let a little prosperity flow on the backs and into the ptomachs and pockets afslhe working folks for a while. * It Is so much better for the many to get something than It is for the few te get it all. Yes, we are glad the ta^es have turned, and prosperity is coaling to Benefits of Cooperation Proven The fanner's attitude and action in connection with signing for a continuance of the tobacco control pro gram is a matter more imoprlant to the farmer than anyone else. It now looks as if sufficient proof has been given the farmer to insure his cooperation. Vet, occasional ly someone is found opposing the plan under which we have operated this year especially so in the cotton and tobacco codes. So far every farmer who has op posed the program has done so upon the grounds that he did not get quite as much allowance in acreage or poundage as he wished. However, less than one per cent of the farmers who have had their acreage and poundage reduced a third have not received more for their crop this year than they received last year. In most cases each farmer has received more than twice as much for the reduced crop this year as he averaged for his 1932 and 1933 crops. When we look at the question from all sides and consider how much more good than there is bad in these farm agreements we can see no reason why any farmer should hesitate for a single moment to sign freely. Cooperation has worked well and the day will never romc hut what it will continue to work wett for I the farmers. Helping the Blind of the State Blindness is an affliction and a_ handicap that pro duces the sympathy of every human heart. In some of the leading centers of the state, namely in Statesvillr and Mecklenburg County, associations for the blind have been formed. The general purpose of these associations is to prevent blindness, especially in children of pre-school age, and to better conditions of those who are blind by helping them to find some vocation by which they may be able to earn for them selves. A bill will be presented in the coming General As sembly for the creation of a state commission for the blind It should pass, and more effort should be put forth to prevent blindness and to help those who are blind. Charity is God's greatest law, and men should pre serve it, even if it does take some tax money. Sucker Production Increasing Koxboro Courier. ? "A fool and Ms money are soon parted/' was clear ly demonstrated here one day last week. A stranger came to town, set up his little table on the edge of the street and began to shout his wares, which this time were a lot of cheap watches. Well( to make a long "story short, in about two hours he had separated some of our good folks from about $150 of their good money. Yes, he sold that amount of watches, when, doubtless, the buyers could have gone to either of our? jewelry stores and bought them for less than half the price paid. If we mistake not it was the great show man, the late P. T. Barnum, who said that "a sucker is born every minute," and we are forced to believe that the present day is producing them at a faster clip. Youth of Today E/kine Tribune Many are inclined to express apprehension as to the future of state and nation under the 'guidance of a youth than apparently does not take seriously the responsibilities that are ahead. Some even contend that the boys and girls of today are headed for the demnition bow-wows, because they do not follow the beaten path blazed by their parents. But you ran put this in your pipe and smoke it*? This rising generation is not guitig to the devil unless ~ their elders lead them there. The boys, as a rule, are no worse than their daddies, and the girls are no less virtuous and righteous than their mothers?when fa ther and mother were of the same age. The boys and girls of today are more responsive to good or evil influence than in any nther generation. There has been as much wordliness in our lives as is in theirs today. If they are to hold to the straight and narrow path, they will have to be led?they can't be driven. And how better can they be led, than by example? How we act, what we do, what we say in our everyday contact with them will be reflected in what they do and say in the presence of their offspring. Their minds are keen beyond words?and they are watching us with an accurate and appraising eye; they can see clean through us and read our faults and frail ties, our sincerity or duplicity, and in all fairness they can only judge us for what we are. In only rare in stances will they try to rise above the standards we ourselves set for them. Boys and girls are even more responsive to comrade ship than to example and comradeship is sadly lacking in almost every home. In the hurly-burly process of making a living and chasing the dollar to salt it away, we forget that there are other values immensely more important than those measured by dollars and cents. We do not take time to be a buddy to our boy, or a confidant for our girl. Someone has said of boys that "when their fathers and mothers forsake them there is always the Boy Scouts." This is a splendid organization that is a definite asset to State and nation, but the Scouts can not take the place of comradeship in the home. Chil dren are ready to be inspired by their parents,' and when we have the privilege under God to chum with them we ought not neglect it. . . It is not that life should be made a bed of roses for them. They should be taught the nobility of toil, and their shirts should be moistoned with the sweat of their bodies other than on the playground. But at best life holds many pitfalls for them, and if we can re move some of the pitfalls, it behooves us to do it. By example and with comradeship we can help to shape the lives of our youth. Let's cease this talk about their headlong rush to hades, and give them a wilcoms Bft beasaaaeid and to broader and better citimship. DR. W. C.
