The puul.li->- situation in North Carolina pie
sents a rather peculiar puzzle Agricultural an
thonties point out that this State is not produc
ing its poultry and egg needs. Despite the re
ported shortage on North Carolina farms, prices
for the big food items are at a low point
Adequate supplies can be shipped in from oth
er states, and possibly market prices are held
to a low figure bv those shipments But while
North Carolina is importing poultry and eggs
tarmers in this section of the State are shipping
out poultry and eggs The business just doesn't
rr.al".
And agricultural uautra cannot L* taken sor
lously when they urge farmers to raise more
chickens "when the market prices range from
ten to thirteen cents a pound
How They I to 11
Eastern Carolina farmers with their wide
level fields and a wide-range diversification
have often wondered how western Carolina far
mers manage to live It's a settled fact that west
ern farmers, as a whole, enjoy a better living |
than thoi.i?in the oavtern section of tin Stub ?
And it has been a puzzle to understand how the
mountain tillers of the soil could do so welj

in the valley.
Glancing through a recent issue of a western
Carolina paper, we saw a long list of names un
der a small opening lead At first we thought
every school young'un in the county had met
the honor roll requirements to get his name in
the list. Closer observation revealed the names !
of several hundred farmers who had applied for
limestone and phosphate shipments in an ef
fort to better their lands.
Up until a few days ago, two Martin Coun
ty farmers had applied for some of the soil
building material.
Possibly the big puzzle does not center around
the western fanner and how he makes his liv
ing after all. The puzzle is centered around the
eastern farmer and why he doesn't make a liv

>o Apology \ ceded
There's been much said about the cold wea
ther in the Sunny South. It's all right to explain
Oldi such cold spells as the one experienced re
cently are rare, but no apology is needed. In
fact, things are coming to a pretty pass when
one section has to apologize to another section
..i"r God's weather?_ ? ??
\ I hum To Hun a Tact*
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace,
rapped for stating that those who desert the
farmer will be held to account, recognizes a ba
sic change in agricultural America today. And
we admire him for that stand
Then- was a time when the farmer was kick
ed from the table and nothing was heard from
the farmer Conditions have changed, and agri
culture with its organized ranks can be expect
ed to return measure for measure.
If is time to get down to basic facts and drag
those facts into the open.
The time is nut fur distant when farmer and
I a bore i will be looking to Washington for an
accounting of all tlip things that have been done
and of all the things that are to be done in the
name of a people's government.
Hunincss Should Slop W /lining
Tabor.
H W Prentiss, Jr . new president of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers, tells the
newspapers that Uncle Sam's budget "may be
-iinaly buljiiu d" without an iiiucjso in taxes,
ami that all that utuhda between the unenipluy
ed nd lucrative jobs is "the lack of sympathy
for business" displayed by those in power in
Washington.
Mr Prentiss is president of a cork company,
but the newspapers always reverentially refer
to him its "a scholar". He may be a scholar, but
it is unfortunate that he uses his edudition to
convince business men they are the victims of
"New Deal" persecution, and that the nation's
financial troubles may be met bv a mere turn
of the wrist.
?Tin bm m that duiing the last seven years
the Roosevelt administration has done more
for business than it has for either the farmers
-or the workers -To prove that, it is~ot#y=neccs=?
sary to consider the condition of business when
Roosevelt came in, in March, 1933, and its con
dition today. Mr. Prentiss' own corporation
would probably afford a fine example.
Roosevelt has done much for the farmers and
the workers, and they are grateful. But busi
ness. which was 011 its knees frantically begging
for help rn 1933, and got it in generous measure,
continues to whine. Scholarly Mr. Prentiss
should take a more enlightened attitude.
