External fashions may change
without destroying internal morality.
It is remarkable how people can
come to see you at exactly the wrong
time.
It is surprising to discover how
much young people know, or think
they know.
Wise people are thankful that
there are fools who do not under
stand them.
As far as we are concerned, Na
ture might as well skip these delayed
* cold snaps.
The trouble with some college
graduates is that education has been
spread too thin.
Speeches are made for two pur
poses?to tell the truth and to hide
the truth.
- - - - ?_
Advertising', as we see it, is we
cheapest salesman that a business
can employ.
It is surprising how fast a month
rolls around when you have notes
coming due.
One remark that ends more argu
ments than any other: "It's time
to eat."
Every business man or firm in
Farmville is invited to join in the 30th
Anniversary at The Enterprise.
MIDGET ENGINES FOR
AUTOMOBILES
A new motor fuel, possessing1 twice
the combostive power of gasoline, has
been developed.
This makes possible the reduction
of automobile engines to half their
present size but the change wont oc
cur in the near future because the
new fuel has a laboratory cost of $50
a gallon.
Still, one never can tell when it
will be reduced in price. A short
time ago the cost per gallon was $3,
600. If it goes on down and the
combination of scientific skill and
mass production is not to be denied,
midget engines will begin propelling
our modern motor cars.
PER CAPITA AND
REAL INCOME
figures recently released by the
Department of Commerce indicate that
the per capita income of individuals
in the United States in 1938 amount
ed to |515 for the nation as a whole.
It is interesting to note that the
average per capia income moved from
1375 in 1933 to $515 in 1938, and that
this figure compared with $679 in *29.
It should not be forgotten, how
ever, that income, measured in dol
lars, does not always represent the
real income of individuals. This de
pends upon the baying power of the
doQare received. If dollar income
moves upward bat prices increase
faster, then an increase in dollar in
come does not mean an increase in
real income. Likewise, if dollar in
come declines, bat prices drop faster,
As real income or baying power of
the individual increases.
A NEW WORLD AHEAD
What type of economic system will
dominate the commerce of the world
when Ike fighting ends?
The question is getting some At
tention from officials who have to
think about the future as they meet
the problems of the present.
Xt Germany wine, it is plain that
there will be a few self-sufficient
units. Germany will dominate Eur
ope, will control an immense
area and Japan will boas the Far
East. la the Western Hemisphere
the United States will be in a posi
tion of dominance in the Awu>^|f
How the economic blocs will trade
with each ether is unknown except
on a limited scale, probably based on
Ms^r^di rttefb

Careful Chopping
N. C State College.
This practice often results in re
duced yields. Cotton left thick in
the row will put on more boils early
in the season and will be better able
to produce higher yields under boll
weevil conditions, an important fac
tor in lint production.
Kime recommended that on the
heavier amis of the Coastal Plain area
hills should be spaced 10 to 12 in
ches apart in the row, leaving two
or three plants in the hill when pos
sible. This will mean an average of
approximately one and one-half
plants per foot or 18,000 to 20,000
On the lighter soils of the Coastal
plants to the sere.
Plain section and in the Piedmont,
the State College cotton expert said
a closer spacing of the plants is prob
ably advisable.
Cotton should be chopped when the
weather is warm and the plants are
healthy. A good indicator of the best
time is when the second set of leaves
is about three-quarters grown.
Kime explained that if the cotton
is chopped much earlier, some of
the remaining plants are likely to die,
leaving a poor stand. If the chop
ping is delayed too long, the plants
will become tall and slender and will
tend to fall down badly when chop
ped.
"Because of the revived interest in
the production of better yields and a
higher grade lint this year," the State
College men said, "growers should
exert every effort to follow recom
mended practices that will aid in
reaching this goal."

ADVANCE
The general level of farm wage
rates advanced about twice as much
as usual from January 1 to April 1, ]
according to the U. S. Agriultural
Marketing Service. ^
<
UNAFFECTED
* The occupation of Denmark and
Norway by German troops probably
will have little immediate effect on .
the exports of farm products from '
the United States, believes the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
SURPLUS
Despite wartime demands, the 1
world has 1,400,000,000 bushels of
wheat more than it will consume dur
ing the marketing year 1939-40, re- (
ports the Agricultural Adjustment ,
Administration.
ONE-THIRD
To show the importance of cot
ton in the agricultural scheme of the
nation, the U. S. Department of Ag-1
riculture points out that nearly a'
third of the farms in the United .
States grow this crop.
?L_ f
CONTRAST
During the period from 1929 to
L932, industry reduced its production
59 percent, while farm production,!
[>n the other hand, decreased only 6
percent in the same peried.
