Hope Grows Out Of Disaster Through the suffering and hardships exper ienced by hundreds in the flood-swept lowlands along the Roanoke, shines a ray of hope not only for those victims but also for all mankind. And might it be that those sufferings will blos som forth into a greater understanding among all people in the stricken areas. As the muddy waters crept ever higher, re lief agencies, supported by voluntary dona tions, and others immediately went into action in behalf of those whose fortune it was to be driven from their farms and homes. From those in high and low stations came offers of aid, the words and telegraphed messages ex pressing a deep sympathy and an earnest will ingness to do something in behalf of suffer ing humanity. The lot may be hard for those in the stricken areas, but out of the disaster itself grows a fond hope, a hope that will, in the long rum mean more possibly that the few earthly pos sessions that were swept away by the surging waters. How empty life would be for the vic tims were they left to their own fate with no word to cheer them along their way and no overt act to lighten their burden and lessen their suffering. The loss is staggering, certainly, but there is seme good in everything that rekindles the light of hope and welds together in a stronger bond the common brotherhood of mankind. "I just wanted to do something for anyone in need," one man said after driving the greater part of 100 miles to bring succor to the flood victims. Other kind deeds that escaped the pub lic eye were done during the past few days, deeds that make for a clearer understanding between races and all men. Another Marketing Season Another tobacco marketing season is at hand, bringing with it a renewed hope and reward tor the hard labor expended night and day dur ing long weeks. On the eve of the 1940 marketing season, the outlook is not as bright and not a$ promising \s some have been in the past. But, compared ith the lot of the farmer across the seas, we ? much to be thankful for even though the in leaf does not command a high price av . In a spirit of cooperation, surrounded by \ 'ness and a genuine interest for every oK ehousemen and farmers can advance th#i in interest of this section, making un ing trips to market. An appeal is di Martin County farmer Urging him to wei^L 'e facts and give his home market first com on. The pastures across the way may look v -, but after all is said and done the man wV s by his home market season in and seasdk the man who enjoys an ad vantage in tlk un. 'n Our Defense Turning from V *1 and army defense program for a monk ? can readily see that the very foundation- tection is weak. It is apparent in every-d% that the moral fi bre, spiritual forces, si> rsical fitness of manpower combined foV of the weakest spots in our defense prV "respective of difficulties facing the actik went of the country. \ This country needs, in acfl^ a strong military'machine, a national t orogram that will build up the Nation's n. 's char acter, its manliness and spiritual Until we repair the weak spot it <y til life, we can expect little progress k ive to protect ourselves against attack\ *t the evils that have plagued and caV V downfall of e untry after country in Eu\ Little Opposition To Third TerntS It is now a well established fact that tlk is little opposition to a third term. \ The supporters of Roosevelt naturally aV not against a third term. And those who ar^ yelling about precedent are really not against a third term; they are merely against the Pres ident as they were in 1932 and 1930. Voice Of A Lemdor From Chattanooga Timaa of Aug. I. 1940. For Americans who are not 90 blind they will not see and not so deaf they will not hear, the address of Gen. John J. Pershing delivered on Sunday night is both a message and a chal lenge. The distinguished soldier who led the American Expeditionary Force in the World War asserts in support of his recommendation that at least 50 destroyers be provided Great Britain that, "by sending help to the British, we can still hope with confidence to keep the war on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, where the enemies of liberty, if possible, should be defeated." That recommendation gives rise to several questions, of which the most important is this one: How can any American who is reasonably well informed contend that this country is not at this time actually involved in the war? In the past 10 months the situation of this coun try has undergone a profound change; for the first time in our history we are not isolated in the world solely because of our splendid aloof ness from International quarrels and contro versies, but because isolation is being imposed upon us by combinations of aggressor nations in Europe and Asia. The lesson taught by the events of the past few months and implicit in General Pershing's statement is that if Great Britain is defeated, this country will be in the position Britain oc cupies today; we shall be without strong friends ready to help us, and we shall spend billions of dollars to defend ourselves in this hemisphere against aggressors immeasurably strengthened for attacks they will make in their own time and when it is most advantageous to them. Whether this country can spare 50 destroyers is- a matter on which no layman is competent to pass. The President, as Commander in Chief of the Nation's armed forces, and the Cabinet officers charged with the task of maintaining those forces at maximum efficiency must be depended upon to say whether warships or any other type of defense equipment can be spared. It is extremely unlikely that General Pershing would have made such a recommendation (Sec retary of State Cordell Hull congratulated him warmly on his address), if he had not under stood both that the British Government needs and desires the destroyers and that the Roose velt administration is willing to make them available. Every aid we give the British will be defending our own way of life. And we can be certain that our failure to assist the British will be regarded in Berlin only as an indication of our weakness and disunity. The layman may hesitate to pass judgment on military and naval matters, but he can have an opinion as to whether it makes any dif ference to this country if Great Britain is de feated. And if it does make a difference, if there is even the remotest possibility that by aiding the British the war can be kept out of this hemisphere, then it follows that we should, as a matter of self-interest if for no other reason, give the British every form of assistance they can use and we can spare. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh believes that since we may have to deal with a Europe dominated by Germany, we should "cooperate" with the Hitler regime and thereby maintain "the su premacy of our-Wcstern civilization and the right of our commerce to proceed unmolested throughout the world." General Pershing's rec ommendation does not foreclose any dealings with a Hitler-dominated Europe; but he pro poses that we try to obviate the possibility of having to deal exclusively with Hitler by strengthening the country with which we have dealt in peace, and honorably, for a good many years. Instead of thinking about cooperating with a Europe dominated by Germany, we shall do better to cooperate with Britain so that Europe and the world may be saved from a Nazi domination of violence, brutality, and mercilessness. A Timely Warning Ronald Hocutt, of the North Carolina High way Safety Division, offers a timely warning to tobacco farmers against the added danger to highway travel during the tobacco market ing season. He pleads with them to properly pack their trucks, to carry adequate lights and signals and to exercise every precaution pos sible. "A human life is worth far more than a load of tobacco," he appropriately says. It is no more than what the rest of the world is doing in a slightly different way possibly, but it would seem that in a country where there is no immediate cause for break-neck speed that tobacco could be moved to market In the week time. But the farmer cannot be censored for his Sunday work. There are the big trucks running the highways every day and night, and the world seems to be running helter skelter and getting no place fast. Mr. Willkie't Debute Challenge It is apparent that Mr. Wendell L. Willkie does know much about the power industry and little about government. What he does know and what he has told the country he does know that President Roosevelt cannot go about the Hintry barnstorming after the pre-radio fash * of the past century without laying himself i open to the charge that he is Indulging in cheap bravado. If Mr. Willkie had any idea that his debate challenge would have been accepted, he never would have mage the challenge. THE LETTER-BOX THE ROANOKE RTVER Last wwk ? great wall of water fO miles in length rolled down the Roanoke River valley leaving de struction and misery from Clerks ville to Plymouth. Much of the loss incurred would never have taken place had the flood control program suggested by Mr Bd Smith, of Scot land Neck, and other forward look ing citizens years ago been carried out by the Federal government. Loss from flood damage on the lower Yadkin and Pee Dee rivers has been greatly reduced in recent years by the prompt opening of flood gates at Badin. Norwood and Blewett Falls in advance of high water, lowering the level of the wa ter in the vast storage reservoirs and then closing them again in time to check and slow down the flow of the flood waters. Years ago forests in the upper valley of the Roanoke and contribu tory streams acted as great shallow reservoirs drinking up the rainfall and releasing it slowly over a per iod of time. Today most of the for ests are gone and the water runs off from most of the water shed as rapidly as it would from a tin roof. Unless steps are taken to control the situation floods of greater frequen cy may be looked for in the future lite Roanoke drainage area covers a large territory in two states. No agency less than the Federal gov ernment (assisted by the power com panies) is in position to properly deal with it. Henry Ward Beecher in one of his sermons pointed out how life on this planet is supported by what he described as the circuit of the waters ?the lifting up of water .by the sun and its consequent deposit on the land as rain and its return to the sea through our streams. Should this process cease for even a short time vegetation, animal life and even mankind would disappear. It should bring sustenance and not destruc tion. The topograph of the Roanoke basin is such that power production could be tied in with flood control serving two purposes at once, aid ing industrial and agricultural de velopment at the same time. Recent losses emphasize the seriousness of the situation. The groups that have been urging flood control should now go to work with renewed vi gor. Like the New England farmers who make use of obstacles by pick ing up the stones which clutter their fields to build fences and houses, the people of the Roanoke valley and adjacent territory should use the re cent flood to impress on the Con gress the importance immediate flood control program on the Roan oke. JOHN W. CI-ARK. Frunklinvillc, N. C South Lags In Using Cotton By-Products Prof. Earl H. Hostetler of the State College Animal Husbandry Depart ment says that one of the reasons for the eroded and gullied fields that are so common throughout the cotton belt is that the South has tagged ~ln reerigntztng ttnr value at by-products of the cotton crop as a livestock feed. "Livestock feeders in other parts of the United States and in Europe of cottonseed products as food for both plants and animals, and they have prospered through the purchase of by-products of the South's so called 'king'," Prof. Hostetler de clared. "The present changes in South ern agriculture and the universal recognition of the necessity of live stock for the conservation and im provement of soil fertility has em phasized the need of retaining the by-products of the cotton crop on the farm. Experiments and farm ex periences have shown conclusive ly that cottonseed meal is a satisfac tory protein supplement for horses, mules, cattle, sheep and swine. It has also been found that cottonseed meal is a very definite aid in the production of firm pork "It is encouraging to see," the animal husbandman continued, "the present trend in the South toward livestock, which means a greater use of cottonseed meal and cake and other high proteiredfoeds as well as as more and better pastures and hay crops. This trend will mran u more prosperous and contented rural pop ulation in the cotton belt." Prof. Hostetler invites livestock feeders to write him for detailed in formation on the use of cottonseed meal and cake in livestock feeds. DR. V. H.
