TEXT FOR TODAY
"For God shall bring every work unto
judgment, with every secret thing, whether it
be good or whether it be evil." Eclesiastes
xii:14.
DAIRYING STEPS OUT FRONT
Perhaps you'll raise your eyebrows, when
you are told in this editorial, that dairying in
Haywood County now represents a cash income
of over $200,000 per year, to Haywood dairy
men and farmers.
Two hundred thousand dollars in cold cash.
'That is a lot of money, yet that is what is be
ing paid farmers and producers for the milk
which their herds are giving.
This cash income has meant a great deal
to the farmers. It has meant a great deal to
the business and professional men of the coun
ty. It has meant a great deal to the govern
ment of Haywood County in that it has enabl
ed many a farmer to pay current taxes on time.
This figure of two hundred thousand dol
lars is by no means the maximum that dairy
ing can go in Haywood County, In fact, it is
just the beginning. With the Pet Dairy Pro
ducts Company assuring Haywood producers
-that there ia no limit as to the quality of milk
they can use it would seem from that that it is
not at all unreasonable to think of the day
"when dairymen in Haywood County will be paid
$300,000 or more in cash per year for their
products.
Farmers who prepare to produce milk
under the modern methods, -have a bright future.
BRINGING DOUBLE BENEFITS
Along with farmers all over the nation
'Curke county farmers have had a share in the
big national conservation program. Press items
state that North Carolina farmers received a
total of $12(H):;,)0: for co-operating in the 1936
soil conservation movement of the federal gov
ernment. That seems and is a great deal of money,
but not so much when spread out among thous
ands of farmers. However, the money they got
from the federal government constitutes the
minor benefit the farmers have received or will
in time receive for their co-operation with the
government in soil conservation work. The
greater benefits will come to them in better
crops, restored fertility of soil and in the good
things vhich always emerge from diversifica
.tion of crops.
The program is one that no intelligent
farmer ought to be hired to carry out. Yet if
farmers, good, bad and indifferent, can be per
suaded in no other way to save their soil and
diversify their crops, the benefits that come to
the country as a whole as well as to the indivi
rdual landowner justify the procedure Morgan
ton News-Herald.
POUKETIJOOK HULLS-EYE
Feverish demand for scrap iron by Japan
is the subject of an editorial in The Charlotte
Observer, a patriotic periodical which is a little
perturbed over the usage to which Japan might
put said scrap iron.
"Buying our iron to shoot us with?" asks
our Mecklenburg county contemporary.
That's right: and the shooting is going on
right now down at the ten-cent store where
the little gadgets manufactured by those pesky
Japs from American scrap iron are scoring bull's
eye after bull's eye on the American manufac
turer's pocketbook.
Japan, as The Charlotte Observer says, may
squint maliciously at the United States, but
that squint is not down the sight of a deadly
weapon.
Even those Japs have better sense than to
:shoot Santa Claus. The Fayetteville Observer.

HAYWOOD SCHOOLS
By the time you read this, the contract
will likely be awarded for the construction of a
new school building on Crabtree. At the last
minute it is not known whether it will be an
elementary and high school, or just an elemen
taiy school.
Perhaps no County in North Carolina has
shown as much progress in the erection of mod
em schools in the past five years as has Hay
wood.
There has been a continuous building pro
gram, and the erection of the Crabtree school
puts a modern school in every section of the
county.
Only this past year new school buildings or
additions were completed at Bethel, Rock Hill,
Aliens Creek, Waynesville, and Fines Creek.
The erection of the Crabtree school, will
relieve the over-crowded condition of the Clyde
school, and make conditions there much sim
pler for the school authorities.
Not only has Haywood splendid physical
equipment and buildings, but reports coming
back from colleges and preparatory schools all
over the country show that students graduated
from Haywood schools are making good records
and leading their classes in many instances.
Taking all the facts in hand and boiling
them down, it seems that we have every reason
of being proud of the schools in Haywood County.

BASEBALL AGAIN
With weather permitting, the Hazelwood
baseball team will open the season with their
first home game on Saturday afternoon against
the Brevard Tanners.
The Hazelwood Club has taken on the
nickname of "Manufacturers" which, to us, is
a very timely, and significant name. It is, of
course, too early in the season to predict just
what type of ball the Hazelwood Club will play,
but judging from past records, the local nine
should stage games that will create as much ex
citement as professional teams.
Having won the pennant of the Industrial
League for two years, those in charge of the
team's activities are optimistic over the con
dition and form of the players this year.
The fact that Hazelwood has an active ball
club is a distinct asset to the entire community.
From the time football season ends, the com
munity is almost void of sports as far as the
spectators are concerned. Of course there are
golf, tennis, swimming and the like, but noth
ing for the spectator.
A winning ball club such as Hazel-wood is
bound to produce, will prove most interesting
to the 'home folks and to hundreds of those
spending their vacations in our community.
The Hazelwood teams have been noted for
their good sportsmanship, and fair play, and
for that reason, if for no other, the team war
rants our support.

FEDERAL SPENDING AT HIGH
At the moment federal spending is at rec
ord highs and apparently nothing is being done
to bring it down.
The government is putting out, on the
average, $593,000,000 per month, as against
$552,000,000, $545,000,000 a n d $533,000,
000 for 1936, 1935 and 1934, respectively. The
outlook for materially reducing spending is ex
tremely black.
As the United States News points out,
many activities classified as "emergency" a
year or two or three ago, now are classed as
"permanent." Furthermore, terrific pressure
is exerted to keep federal relief checks flowing
out of the machines that write them. When
a short time ago it was announced that WPA
spending was to be cut, governors, mayors and
other officials cried to high heaven and the
result was that the reductions were not made
and may not be made at all this year.
Thus, viewing the situation realistically it
seems certain that, under present conditions,
only hope for a balanced budget is more income,
not less outgo.
More income means either new taxes or
higher taxes. Officials are chary of both.
For one thing, the federal government has
adopted many new taxes in late years; it
is doubtful whether there are many sources of
importance yet untapped. And every elective
officer shivers when he thinks of the possible
political explosions higher taxes could cause.
