C, un der act of March 3rd, 1878. We often wonder who gets the worst of it, the speaker or the lis teners. The Allies do not believe in pour ing oil on the troubled waters of Europe. The more we think about it the less inclined we are to write our book. Politicians may propose but it takes millions of American voters to dispose. An educator suggests that the av erage American has forgotten how to read. As if he ever knew. Normalcy will return to some Am ericans when the umpires shout, "Play ball!" The building of a city is not alto gether the work of industry; it is the development of citizens them selves. The man who gets mad with some body for disagreeing with him is probably incensed over his own ig norance. Not every product that is adver tised at a reduced price is being sold at a reduced price?if you get what we mean. Farmers should abandon crop control when industry operates on a full schedule wiAout regard to sales and stocks on hand. Do you know anybody who has not expressed an opinion on whether President Roosevelt should run for a third term? Nations, like individuals, cannot escape the facts of their existence; they may delay decisions but, sooner or later, fate overtakes them. A MOVE AGAINST RUSSIA? The news from Russia that a de fensive pact between Finland, Nor way and Sweden would beconsider-1 cd a move against the Soviet is sig nificant. Defeated in war the Finns hope to save their independence by a mutual assistance pact with the other Scan dinavian powers. If Soviet Russia had no new designs against Finland, there would be little reason to ob ject to such a treaty. The only way the mutual assist ance pact could be construed to be aimed at Russia is by admitting that Russia has further plans for con quest. Apparently this is what the Reds have in mind. NEWCOMERS IN BIG BUSINESS Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are in the ranks of big business, it seems, with the announcement that their creator, Walt Disney, will offer $4, 000,000 of preferred stock to the investing public in order to secure new capital with which to continue the exploits of these famous film characters. Just a few years ago Mr. Disney had nothing but an idea. Put into the film, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," the idea grossed, up to the end of Jast year, $4,677,862, which is not alfalfa, even according to Holloywood ideas. The common stock of the organi zation, which began as a family en terprise in 1923, is owned by Walter E. Disney, Lillian B. Disney, Roy O. Disney and Ed:..\ P. Disney. Last year the net income of the business was more than a million dollars. CROTALARIA Harnett county farmers believe in crotalaria, but they want only the Striata strain, according to Joe B. Gourley .assistant farm agent of the State College Extension Service. KILLS SELF TO EASE CONSCIENCE Kansas City ? After brooding ov er the suicide of his friend and part ner, William Gott, for seven years, for which he felt responsible, W. E. Hutehins shot and fatally wounded himself. After Gott failed in two business ventures, Hutehins remark ed, "If I didn't have any more sense than you have, I'd Mow my brains out.'* Two days later Gott did. In ease you miss your dog, call at the City Food, he may he there. If you wish to get him back be sure Washington I . Farm News INDUSTRIAL DECLINE HIGH LIGHTS DEMAND FOR FARM PRODUCTS Business conditions affecting do mestic demand for farm products showed continued weakness during the month ending March 15, the Bu reau of Agricultural Economics re ports, but this weakness was no more than expected and the demand out look remains about the same as in recent months. Industrial activities has declined since January, but in recent weeks the decline has become more gradual and there are several preliminary' indications which suggest the prob-1 ability of an early end to the down- j ward trend. As is usual, there was j a delayed reflection in consumer, purchasing power of the relapse in industrial activity. Export statistics continue to in dicate that the European War is hav ing an adverse effect on exports of. American farm products. Even the (1 gain in cotton exports as compared with those a year earlier, induced by : depleted European stocks and ex port subsidies, is being rapidly di minished according-to recent weekly.1 data. Industrial product exports con tinue to show substantial gains over corresponding periods a year earlier i and inquiries for aircraft and some j other items suggest that increasing < support to the domestic demand situ- 1 ation may be expected from foreign sales. 1 The general level of wholesale commodity prices has been un- 1 usually stable during the past month, < following the declines from Decem ber to February, and signs of streng th have appeared in a few commodi ties. Commodity prices in general I are considered less vulnerable than in 1937-38 and no widespread declines ; in the general price level are antici pated. I Prices received by farmers in i March were somewhat lower than in ' February, according to preliminary indications, and prices paid proba- < bly remained at about the same level as during the past 6 months. Farm income declined less than seasonally in February*, and remain- | ed higher than a year earlier. In come from sales in March will prob- ] ably. make about the usual seasonal increase but Government payments ] will be smaller than in February. FARM EQUIPMENT j Earnings of farm equipment com panies declined sharply in 1939 com- ( pared with those of the two preced- ; ing years, as a reflection of lower ] farm buying power. DIVERSIFYING j W. B. Jones, assistant farm agent of Granville county, says it is al- s most amazing the way farmers of his county have turned to livestock, , poultry, and other live-at-home prac tices this year. LARGER Based on requests now coming in, j the acreage seeded to lespedeza in Northampton county this year will J be much larger than usual, reports Assistant Farm Agent H. G. Snipes. j WAR ?v The present European war has di- * minished rather than stimulated the s demand for American farm products according to U. S.

WALSTONBURG CHOIR TO REPEAT CANTATA Due to unfavorable weather con iitions Easter Sunday night, and by popular request the Choir of the iValstonburg Methodist Church will jresent again the Easter Contata. 'Everlasting Life." on Sunday night it 8:00, March 81, in the Walston >urg Methodist Church. The Choir is made up of fourteen voices under the direction of Mrs. Carlos Walston with Mrs. Ivey Smith is pianist. . This Cantata was presented in Itantonsburg and .^Fountain last reek. It was "also broadcast over ladio Station WGTM in Wilson, and las won high praise from all who teard its rendition. No admission charge will be made, 'he public is cordially invited and irged to attend. Looking at Washington (Continued from page on*) ployes for campaign rapport It did not affect other office-holder* whose support has been bolstered by the workings of State machines made up of those holding State jobs. While Congress cannot reach these State workers, can cut off federal funds from any State agency that permits such activity. \ .. ? This is a direct bomb on top of the numerous State highway ma chines that have exercised such pow erful political strength in a number of States. Spending more money than other State agencies, the high way departments have exerted con siderable influence upon the for tunes of those seeking election to high office. Having outlawed poli tical activity on the part of ma chines composed of federal office holders, the Hatch amendment now attempts to do the same for the State machines. Efforts of the British and French governments to secure latest model American airplanes for their war in Europe have caused some criti cism in this country. Congressmen want to know whether the orders of the belligerents will delay com pletion of tiie enlargement of our own aerial strength.N Moreover, there is much being said about mili tary secrets of this government which, it is suggested, might be re leased to foreign governments. The Allies, discussing possible or ders for a billion dollars worth of planes from American manufactur ers, are anxious to get the best pos sible fighting machines. Their orders will extend the aircraft industry in this country and facilitate the manu facture of planes faster than ever. This, in the view of some Americans, is a benefit to the United States that is worth more than a slight delay in securing the first output of the plane plants. Business, it is believed, may soon develop an upturn, following the three months' decline, without the aid of a new government pump-prim ing program. This is encouraging, even though it is based, in a meas ure, upon war orders from abroad. Of course, the "boom" that waa pre maturely started last September in anticipation of vast war orders for supplies has been wiped out and there is general realization that the pres ent slowmotion warfare will not re quire the vast replacements of the former struggle. HOUSING The low-rent Federal housing pro gram will be expanded to farming sections on an experimental basis, President Roosevelt has announced.
