THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1934 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER More Than $6,000.00 Paid To Farmers On Corn-Hog Contracts Roy Crouse, assistant farm agent, who is in charge of the corn and hog contracts for the eight counties par ticipating in the first distribution money from the government, states that checks totaling $6,151.40 have oeen received at the office of the county agent W. D. Smith. The money h;:s been distributed by Mrs- V. D. Smith, secretary and treasurer of the corn-hog control as sociation as folows: Tnnslvania, $l,3yy.85; Haywood, $1,589.05; Ma con, $1537.65 ; Rutherford. $ 1.450.70; Polk $110.70; McDowell, $373.05; Buncombe, $512.40; and Clay, $63. The second checks will be about the same amount, with the third for a smaller amount. The fecond payment will be made when the compliance sheets are com pleted and sent into the Wayneville office. Some of the checks are for small amounts while others run over $400-00. Mr. Crouse is requesting all county agents in his district to send in the compliance sheets at once and avoid any delay. North Carolina farmers are voting approximately 12 to one for a con tinuance of the corn-hog adjustment program next year. Returns from 26 counties tabulated by W. Y. Shay, of State college, show 1,376 votes for the program and 120 against its continuance. Shay is conducting the referendum among the 4,117 com anil hog pro ducers in 85 counties of the state who .signed contracts to adjust their pro duction this year. With the referendum is another question as to whether the growers favor a plan whereby each farm will have only one contract to cover all the crops to be adjusted in place of the present plan of a separate con tract for each crop. The voting so far has been; For one contract 096 ; for separate contracts 272; not vot ing 228. Shay pointed out that the pay ments of $15 a head on the number of hogs by which production was re duced has brought many growers more cash than they would have realized in net profit had they raised the hogs. In addition, hog prices have more than doubled .since the program went into effect. The total benefit pay ments to North Carolinians on the corn-hog program will amount to $724,000 this year, Shay says. GROWTH OF POULTRY IS TO BE EXPANDED The increased demand for poultry and fresh eggs over present produc tion is leading to a conservative ex. pansion of the poultry industry in North Carolina, according to Roy S Dearstyno, head of the poultry de partment at State College. Hatcheries in the state are already booked far ahead, he said, and indi cations point to a favorable .season for the hatchery industry. The devijtacpment of hatcheries with in the staiiFteads to a balanced in dustry, he added, since the poultrymen utilize the superior products of the hatchery in improving their flocks and the hatcheries pay premiums for good eggs from the poultryment. The two phases of the industry are inter dependent. As the hatching season approach es, poultrymen should start putting their brooding and housing equipment in good condition and lay plans for managing their flocks tor a success, ful broodine season'. Dearstyne said. Probably the most important factor in the success or failure of the com ing year lies in the quality of baby chicks hatched or purchased, no con tinued. If the chicks are not of prov. en stock, high in vitality and descend ed from hitch producing, blood-tested parents, no amount of equipment, care in feeding or management win ievei on a nnalitv flock. The production of quality chicks is expensive, he pointed out, but it is well worth the extra cost. Constant culling to eliminate low producers, blood tods, and sanitation and feeding cosa money. But a few cents difference in the nrice of a chick may mean a difference of 50 eggs a year in the production of the bird when it has matured.

The. contest, will close December 1 ami entries must be in the mail by midnight November 30; Pictures should carry the name of entrants and sig nature of the rural mail carrier. All entries should be mailed to. Carolina Motor Club headquarters at Charlotte, N. C. Many attractive and artistic treat ments are revealed in the entries re ceived to date. Rock masonry as a support for. the box is vying with lattice effects in popularity, while other box owners have created unique rustic settings. Krick has also been used very effectively anil in must in stances vines and flowers covering the supports and boxes have added to the attractiveness of the receptacles. In this connection the rural mail car riers will appreciate patrons using vines and flowers that do not have thorns and Boston or English Ivy, Virginia Creeper or Vinca is recom mended. The rural mail box offers one of the finest opportunities for beautifying highways. It can be accomplished easily and inexpensively. Government and state requirements are very reas onable, and easily understood. The Post Office Department s sole require. ment is that the box be located at the proper height to be readily serviced by the carrier without leaving his ve hicle. They should be placed suffi cient distance from the highway so. as to avoid being a traffic hazard and on dirt roads the. highway, department ask that they be set well. back of the ditch line.

(Special ) A tive-uoint educational program in North Caro lina for the present and continuing over a long period of time was adopt ed by the North Carolina Council on the Emergency in Education, compos ed of lenders -in all lines and from all sections, which met in Greensboro la.st week. The program asks, among other things, for an appropriation sufficient for a minimum salary of $900, prob ably costing $2:,000.000 a year, with the other items included, and an in crease in the salaries of the present year. The platform adopted was presented by Dr. E. H. Gat-ringer, ol' Charlotte, and his. committee, composed of Ralph Darker, Durham; Mr.. Frank Spruill. Lexington; K. K. Liwrence. Winston Salem; and George Wheeler, Sanford. Suggestion that a provision be in cluded to prevent "earmarking'' funds in the State Treasury "against" the public schools, that is, "for" other purposes, died a-borning. As adopted, the plaforni is as follows: 1. An appropriation from the Gen eral Assembly adequate to provide proper transportation facilities, to set up a curriculum suited to the va ried needs of the youth of North Carolina, and to secure and retain an efficient t.enchiiig personnel- a pro gram that will probably call for a minimum of approximately !)!H)0 and a. maximum of approximately $1201) depending upon -the certificate held and the expel ieti.-e of Hie teacher (The usual cost to the state of such program would very likely bo met bv $25,000,000.) ;i.

Hoth countries have iin Interest In maintaining the natural level of the lakes In order to keep the water pow er at Sail It Sle. Marie and at Niagara undiminished, and In order that the depth of harbors and the channels con necting the lakes may not be lessened. There Is a permanent Ir;'ornntlonul Waterways commission, consisting of three Americans and three Canadians, that has control of (he waters of the lakes for power anil other purposes. Within the territory of the Culled Stales shipping and navigation are subject to the same laws and . regula tions as prevail on the other natural waterways of the United States.

After the amendment of 1S04, ; si-le lions of Presidents and Vice Pres idents were made on separate vote, j the result being that it could and did happen they were sometimes inemliers , of different political parties. The germ of the Democratic party Is to be found in the anti-Federalists, I who opposed the adoption of a federal , Constitution. A moderate party, led by Jefferson and Madison, recognized the need of a stronger central govern iii' lit than the articles of confedera tion afforded, and were alarmed at the centralized tendency manifested by Hamilton ami the Federalist parly. To this moderate party was given the name of Republicans, about 17!2. During the French revolution extreme sympathizers with the new French re public formed so-called "democratic clubs," the fundamental principles ad vocated by these clubs being equal! tarianlsm and the extreme of libortv for the indh idual. Though not ;:i complete 'accord w ith the Republic;: -. adherents of these views were fori I to act In harmony with the Kepti:, lieutis in opposition to the Federalist measures, and were eventually ab sorbed by the party which came to be known as the 1 leniocrallcltepub lican, the later ollioial designation of th" Democratic party. Indianapolis Nells. Right tu Vote The United States of America does not guarantee to its citizens the right to vote, writes (J. R. Turner in the Kansas City Times. The decision as to who limy enjoy this privilege Is re served to the Individual states. The Constitution merely provides that In Framing Hie right to vote no state shall ill scrim ina to because of race, re ligion or sex. It is for this reason that there exists the occasional Incon sistency of a person being a citizen of a certain state without being a citizen of. the I'nited States, for althntiph a Male cannot make an alien a citizen of the I'nited States, It may confer on him all the privileges that It con fits on its own citizens.
