TO THE FRONT FOR AMERICANS TO DECIDE The tense situation in Europe reflects itself in. Washington, where officials are anxiously watching de velopments. That the war-threat carried implications that might in volve the United States, and seriously affect our future, is not denied. Better Prepared. , [ The first comment on the troubled condition of the world is j that the United States is far bet* 1 ter prepared for eventualities than ; it was in v 1914. This, in itself, wor- : ries many people who fear that our participation in the struggle 1 wiH be hastened by our prepared ness. This reasoning lies behind the pacifist move to limit arma- j ment in the United States, in order , that no government will dare to ] go to war with odds against its i success. i ?r ? ""1 Atlantic Squadron. . 1 Quite recently the Navy created 1 an Atlantic squadron, consisting > of seven of our newest and best s cruisers and seven of our finest 1 destroyers. Despite all explana - tions the squadrons was placed in ' the Atlantic because of the threat ening conditions abroad and the 1 * fear that these warships would be i needed in the Atlantic. There is i no idea of aggrassion against any 1 other nation, so far as we can ] imagine, but a conviction that if i war spreads through Europe there ] will be work for American ships < to do in giving protection to ] American interests. 5 " Air Center Moved. J Another significant move was i the recent transfer of the Army < aviation headquarters to Illinois, [1 near the strategic center of the ? country. From - Scott Field air- < Dlanes can go to any border of the j' nation and besides, the nerve cen- ^ t ter is not vulnerable ~ to enemy, attack. Now, the average reader j might as well understand that this move was based upon sound mili tary reasons and was put into ef-1 feet now because of the fear that1 danger might be ahead. Nobody has any present idea that we will { be attacked but nobody knows, j and consequently prudence is in order. s V ? Meanwhile, looking to its de- j fenses and preparing for military s emergency, the officials are be-'s ginning to check up on plans to j mobilize industry for war actdv- v ity. The manufacture of munitions t and equipment in time of war is j an important job and one that J cannot be arranged overnight. It s must be perfected before the out- t break of hostilities and the United States, profiting form "the confu sion and delay of the last war, is I merely getting its house in order to be able to look the future in a the face without flinching. f ? t Anti-Aircraft Guns. b Significant is the strengthening f of our anti-aircraft defense. The c War Department has ordered 333 i new rapid-fire, antiaircraft guns s 1 . . : ? ?' v> ?- ?*?'' ind carriages at a coat of flO, *>0,000. These guns wiH -equip 82 regiments of anti-aircraft troops instead of six or seven now so equipped. The new weapons will not be ready for nearly two years but then they will be distributed to regi ments on the East and West coasts to defend oar large population cen ters. Again, let us point out that anti-aircraft guns cannot be prodouc ed overnight If trobule develops they must be on hand if they are to do the nation any good. Neutrality. Another aspect of the situation abroad is to be seen in the renewed agitation over neutrality legislation. Congress Is certain to face&ia prob lem and some action will have to be taken. The present neutrality laws have not worked satisfactorily and have not, apparently, been, applied squally to the warfare in Spain and in the Far East. In fact, H may be said that our present neutrality legis lation is not satisfactory to anybody, including pacifists, officials and foreign nations. > - Voting on War. - You will also hear much about a law to permit the people to vote on the question of declaring war, ex cept in case of actuab invasion. This has a strong popular appeal and some logic in the plea that those who must fight the battles should have the right to say when the sacri fices should be made. Space is not here available to go into the pros ind cons of this debate but there Eire, as usual, two sides to the ques tion. Conflicting Ideas. t... Of course, there are people in the United States who believe that the noney being spent on preparedness is being thrown away and that the way for this nation too maintain peace is to be found in a. lack of the neans of defense rather than in the possession of an army and navy :omparable to those of other great powers. At the other extreme, there ire some who would have the nation jump into the world arena, take im* nediate sides and throw its weight n the scales that represent certain iefinite ideals. There are, too, the niddle-of-tbe-roaders, who advocate xtreme caution, watchful, and every conceivable effort to keep out of war. rhis last group, we think, is by far he vast majority of our people. STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS Question: What is the earliest date hat cabbage can be sown for best ?esults? Answer: Cabbage seed may be own in an outdoor bed for the early ipring crop as early as October 1 in he tidewater and lower coastal plain ection. For the upper coastal jplain ind lower piedmont section the earl est date is September 16. For the western part of the State, seeds are isually sown in cold frames during anuary. In eastern and central ?forth Carolina the frost-proof Jer ey Wakefield and Charleston Wake ield varieties are the best ' ????- . I Question: How much light should plan for my poultry laying house? Answer: Two forty-watt lamps hould be provided for each 400 sq. eet of floor space. These bulbs hould be placed ins the center of the touse ten feet apart and six feet rem the .floor. To prevent a waste >f Kght a reflector sixteen inches n diameter and four indies deep hould be used, with each light bulb. ^ ? ? - . <7^ If all-night lights are.used then a dtaL light with . with two 10 or 15 watt bulbs being sufficient for a house jo by 20. Where other than all night lighting deed the lights should be regulat ed so that the birds have from 12 to 14 hours a day for feeding. ' - - Question: When should/paradich loro benzene be applied to peach trees to control borers? Answer; The treatment should be applied about ;%j.fj$st oft: October in Western Carolina and rfbout the middle of October in the eastern sec tion. The crystals should be applied in a continuous band about an inch in width and care should be taken th&t the chemical should not be closer than one and one-half inches from- the tree trunk. Smooth the surface about a foot from the tree before applying the crystals. Sev eral shovels of diirt should be pieced on the ring in the form of a mound and packed down with, a shovel. One fourth to one-half ounce should be used for trees four to six years of age and one ounce for trees six years old or older. Improvements Noted In Tar Heel Cotton Improvements made in North Caro lina cotton since 1938 may be worth around 13,500,000 to Tar- Heel grow ers this year, in the opinion of Gleen R. Smith, cotton marketing specialist at State College. Tot yean ago, he said, 80 per cent of the crop was of 7/8 inch staple length, or shorter, while 18 per cent measured from 15/16 to 1 inch. Last year, only 15 per cent of the crop, was Bhort staple, and folly 80 per cent ranged from 15/16 to 1 inch. Smith said that no ether cotton growing State has made as great an improvement in the staple length of its lint crop during the same period. This means that Tar Heel cotton bears a more favorable ratio to other cotton than\it did 10 yean ago. By comparing the average price paid for North Carolina cotton in 1928 with the price of middling 7/8 inch staple on the centiral market, and then making the same compari son for last year, Smith- calculated that cotton from this.Stpte sold for $5 a bale more in 1937 than it would have if it were of the same kind that was produced in 19!%. There is still much room for im provement in the grade of NortK Carolina cotton, Smith added. Many growers are not getting the full premium prices for the longer staple lint that they |wbuld if the grade of their cotton was better.' To produce high grade cotton, Smith pointed out that the tint should not be allowed to hang in the fields long after the bolls have opened, as is weathers rapidly. Keep it free from trash; and pick only dry cotton, if possible. If it must be picked while damp, give it a^ chance to dry thoroughly before iris taken to the gin. ? V Supply of Phosphate limited, Floyd Says The AAA will not he able toac cept any more orders for phosphate to be used this year in connection with the agricultural conservation program, E. ~Y. Floyd, AAA execu tive officer at State College, has an nounced. Farmers in North Carolina and other States, showing a growing in terest in soil improvement,'have ask ed for more phosphate than the AAA will be able to abcure from the Ten nessee Valley Authority and other manufacturers. Orders for 650 tone have been filled so far in this State, Floyd pointed out, and an additional 300 tons can probably be delivered by the middle of October on orders that have been accepted already. But no more orders can be placed ffiis year, :tie continued. Neverthe less, farmers who wish to a.iply phos phate to their legume crops and pas tures in earning AAA' payments dan fcyMfsy' i?P^: from local dealers. Under the agricultural conserva tion program, arrangementa had bee* jh m ? I... g. jim ' ? ?? | JL ma made fo% supplying.: growers witii phosphate at a small amount from their ments.
