We regret to report that oar eon
; tributor, Roger Babeon, nationally
known writer on financial affairs, is
off again!
Some weeks ago he advised in
vesting in Japanese bonds, which
advice we didnt take, for more than
one reason.
In a recent article he averts to
the "badt to the farm" idea, yelling <
loudly for men with "a wflL"
This is |ast shoot ss absurd aa (
anything we have seen in print in a 1
long time. If the government would 1
provide free transportation for the '
unemployed in the industrial areas '
and give them forty acres and a mule '
they would, for the most pert, strave 1
to death.
As a matter of fact if Brother
Babson was thrown on a piece of |
farm land today, without funds, and
nothing but "a will" be would go
back to writing in a hurry.
Agricultural conditions, through- ;
out the United States are in no con- J
diidon to encourage anybody to go I
back to the farm unless thoroughly
familiar with the job awaiting him. '
It will take more than a will and 1
the desire to eat to make farming ?
pay, regardless of what some col- 1
umnists think.

U. S. HAS NO IDEA OF !
FIGHTING i

Giovanni Ansaldo, editor of an
Italian newspaper, says that Great
Britain and France desire to broad
en the war front because it would
compel Germany to invade the mail
er neutral nations and obtain for '
the Allies the supreme objective of -
their diplomacy?the intervention of
the United States on their side.
No doubt, the Allies would '
come the United States if this coun
try went into the war against Ger- 1
many, but, so far, there is little in- 1
dication on this side of the Atlantic !
that the invasion of a neutral nation
by Germany would be followed by 1
active intervention of the United
States.
In this country, the determination j
to remain at peace with the world
is strong. About the only develop- '
ment which could bring the United '
States into the present war would
be the conviction that without active '
help from this country, the Allied '
- nations faced defeat; Even this '
might not bring about American in
tervention.
It is possible that the people of '
the United States might prefer to |
risk a future world, dominated so far 1
as Europe is concerned by Germany, 1
Italy and Russia and so far as the
Far East is concerned by Rmria or
Japan, rather than take part in the
war now going on. ^ |

STATE COLLEGE
ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION: Is it important to
ixsve graxing crops for poultry ?
ANSWER: Tea. But one of the
tnoet important points in growing
grazing erops is to maintain a con
itant supply of tender succulent
growth. To seems this, the crop
nast make a rapid growth, and con
tinue to grow over a long period.
Aids in securing this are a fertile,
moist aoil, commercial fertiliser, a
well-prepared seed bed, plenty of
rainfall and the choice of the right
crop. Grazing crops planted on poor
land should be well-fertilised the
first year or two, after that fertiliza
tion may he lighter or lam frequent,
sa very little fertility ia removed by
grazing.
QUESTION: How can I produce
& high qualify of cream?
ANSWER: The production of
good cream starts with the cow.
dean milk cannot be secured from
iirty cows; therefore, keep the cows
clean. Before miflang, wash and dry
the udder. The milking should be
tone in clean, well-lighted stalls. The
lounging shed or place where the
cows stay, except at milking time,
should be kept well bedded and dry.
Ample bedding serves the double pur
pose of providing comfort for the
cows and increasing volume of man
ure, a valuable product
QUESTION: Is the AAA making
payments to North Carolina farm
ers this year for growing a home
garden?
ANSWER: Yes. A payment of
?U>0 will be made to any farmer for
planting a home garden. However,
be most plant at least one-tenth sere
of vegetables for each member of the
family sod must protect the garden
from livestock and poultry. Of
course, he must use good cultural
practices. Not more than one acre
>f vegetables will be required of any
farmer for payment
'SLAUGHTER'
Chicago, Feb. 28. ? The United
States, "aghast at human slaughter
in war-torn Europe," had a "peace
time traffic toll" of 2,780 lives last
month, the National Safety Council
stated tonight.
January was the fourth successive
month to show an increase in the
number of motor vehicle deaths. The
upward trend thus extended into the
New Year after 32,600 fatalities were
reported in 1939.
"America is shocked to read of
nfyimy sttscks on Europe's defense-j
[ess women and children," asserted
CoL John StSwell, president of the
council. "Yet, it accepts with ap
parent resignation that fact that
thousands of equally dcfenaeleea per
sona have been strode down and kill
ed just as tragically in our own
country."
January deaths increased six per
cent in comparison with the same
month last year. Fatalities in cities
decreased slightly?lees than one
cent?but rural fatalities gained ap
proximately eight per cant

St Thomas Church in Bath, built ]
in 1734, of English brick, with Item* j
iah-Bond workmanship, is the oldest i
religious edifice in the State. It has 1
many valuable relics, among which
are: The Queen Anne bell, east in j
London in 1732, making it eighteen <
yean older than, the Liberty Bell, J
and doubtless the oldest in the Unit-. ;
ed States; a Bible in a glass case, ?
printed in England in 1703, was used 1
in the services here before the church ;
was built, and was long preserved <
by the Ashe family whose ancestors I
lived at Bath in the early 1700*8;
lovely three-branched candlesticks of <
Sheffield silver, presented to the 1
church by King George II, of Eng- :
land; a large hand-wrought silver :
chalice from the Bishop of London i
to the Bev. John Garzia, first rector i
diur^::%j>d^-.fiwia;-iflli first :
public library in the province, it be- 1
ing bound in leather and stamped in :
gold letters, "Belonging to Ye Li- <
brary of St Thomas Parish, Pamti- j
cough." So far as is known it is the ]
only remaining book from the col
lection of over a ?thousand volumes j
printed in England and sent to the <
parish in 1699, by the Rev. Thomas j
Bray.
The church was built by our worthy <
ancestors, of whom we are Just proud, ;
who in spite of hardships and priva- .
tions dedicated a temple to the Lord.
Their descendants are members of
all churches. For more than two
centuries this little temple on . the i
Pamlico has been a religious shrine :
and regardless of denominational af- j
filiation thousands have come here 1
for worship and for a revival of their
faith, on the sacred spot where their 1
fathers put "first things first" 1
St Thomas is now being restored a
to its former state, to be preserved .
for the present and future genera
tions. It is fitting that the woric be
done by North Carolinians as a me- 1
morial of those brave pioneers who <
who laid firm foundations for us. It :
is not a work for one person, or a
small group, but for every man, worn- '
an and child now living in the state, '
and all with a North Carolina bade- J
ground residing without our borders. ^
The operating committee at Bath
has worked out a plan whereby every j
person may have a part in the pro
gram?"The Penny Parade," details
of which are as follows: Each per
son, in the State can send to their ]
schools, or civic organizations the
amount they wish to give, and it will ]
be forwarded to the "St, Thomas |
Restoration Fund" at Bath, North |
Carolina. The'organizations in each !
place are asked to appoint one chair- ]
man for the community to receive ;
and transmit funds. Beaufort, Pitt, !
and New Hanover counties have been j
organized and funds are already com- j
ing in. This method of campaign is <
being used in order to save the ex- !
pense of going from county to conn- |
ty organizing units, and to make a <
concerted and speedy campaign posai- 1
hie. Every individual giving a dol- j
lar will be listed as giving 100 pen- ;
nies; $10, a thousand pennies, and !
$100, ten thousand pennies.
Monday morning a Pyramid of ;
Pennies was started on the chnrch
lawn, and the big 1800 penny found
while excavating at the church, was :
