A number of military experts have
been misled by the w?r. ? *
It requires neither bravery nor in- ^
telligence to exhibit disrespect

Good manners can be exhibited by

About the best that anybody oan *

What has become of the man who,
for many years, read his Bible every
day? j
What the American people need is *
more attention to the "pursuit of *
happiness."

"
The voice of the people is approv
ed by many citizens when it utters
their views.
Everybody is for national defense,
especially if the new taxes apply to {
somebody else.
Never denounce politics; it is the
machinery of man to determine the
voice of the people.
Every profession suffers a loss of *
prestige because of the mercenary ^
motives of some members. t

The people of every age worry
about the problems that will face the .
people of a successive age. (
If you know a better place in v
which to live, why not move out of
Farmville and settle down in peace? (

There are many individuals who s
can never be satisfied; they are ap- j
parently determined to dislike what- (
ever exists. (

TOWARD FARM
OWNERSHIP
\
The Farm Security Administrat
tion will this year assist 9,000 ten
ants, sharecroppers and farm labor
ers to buy farms of their own. Al
ready some 13,000 farm families have
been helped in this way in the past
three years.
We have no accurate information,
at this time, as to how these families
are solving their difficulties or whe
ther most of them are making good
use of the opportunity afforded them
under the government's program. It
may take some years to determine
the real value of the plan adopted
in the effort to reduce farm tenancy
and increase farm ownership.
There are some Americans who
strenuously object to the government
doing anything along this line, say
ing that the individual should be per
mitted to work out his own salvation,
along the sink-or-swim basis. Strange
to say, these same critics raise no
objection when the government bails
out a railroad, a bank or an in
surance company.
IS BUSINESS BIGGER THAN
GOVERNMENT?
"This nation can only be ready"
for the dangers that lie ahead, says
Colby M. Chester, "if business gen
ius and government enlist in patrio
; tic service."
So far, so good! Mr. Chester then
aaya, "Business is reedy for great I
sacrifice, but at the same time, busi
ness warns: No monkey business,
no profiteering, no graft, no tricky
stuff, no polities in our mobilization
for the defense of our free system of
are." ;
The same warning can be justly
grin to business by government, act
ing as the elected agent of the peo
ple. There have been, and there are,
business leaders guilty ait monkey
stuff and politics, and decidedly more
Then are rr-rtllyl industrial, fi*

s being accomplished this season in
i Davie County mill community, re- s
?rts H. R. Niswonger, horticul- 1
urist of the State College Extension i
Jervice. <
Intensive cultivation of small plots <
>f ground is keeping a large per- 1
?entage of the Erwin Cotton Mill i
vorkers in Cooleemee well supplied <
vith wholesome, nutritious food.
Although some of the gardens oc- <
rupy from one-fourth to one-third of i
in acre, many are only 25 to 50 feet <
square. Of the 350 white mill fami- :
ies, 250 are using their back yards i
:o grow vegetables. In addition, all
>f the 25 Negro families have gard- i
ins.
Advantage is taken of the favorn
>le growing season during the spring
ad summer to build up a surplus for t
inning soap mixtures, snajp. beans, ?
>matoee, kraUt, and other vegeta
tes. One woman reported canning r
at year 30 quarts of soup mixture,
) cans of tomatoes, and 12 cans of
aap beans from a garden 25 feet
luare. Also, she fed a family of
sven with fresh vegetables.
To stimulate interest, a garden con- v
at is held each year. Farm and e
ome agents of Davie County and 4
tiss Maude Graham, social service ]
orker for the mill, select the best t
aniens. Prizes are offered for the f
est plots.
Every inch of ground is utilized, t
'ith the outside edges of the garden t
nd the sides next to the houses (
lanted to flowers. The distance he- (
ween rows varies from 12 to 24 in- .
hes. Inter-plantirtg and rotation of ,
rops are practiced.
Niswonger said these gardens con- ]
ain all of the popular vegetables, j
hese being planted in succession so ,
5 to make fullest use of the land. ,

\ New Publications ;
Ready For Farmers t
Three new publications* of interest '
o farm people have been prepared 1
?y the State College Extension Ser- j
rice- and are available to citizens of
forth Carolina free for the asking. 1
Vo are Extension Circulars and the '
'ther is an Extension pamphlet, as 1
ollows: '
Extension Circular No. 241, "The J
Jse of Disinfectants in Poultry Pro
motion," written by Prof. R. S. Dear
tyne, H. C. Gauger, and R. E.
Jreaves of the college Poultry De- '
xartment
Extension Circular No. 242, "Grow
ng Small Grains in the Coastal
3lain," by E. C. Blair, Extension
igronomist.
Extension Miscellaneous Pamphlet
fo. 42, "Making a Cotton Mattress,"
>y Miss Pauline E. Gordon, Extension
lome management specialist, and
diss Willie N. Hunter, Extensi?n
:lothing specialist
Any or all of these publications
viJl be mailed free, postpaid, to<per
;ons writing to the Agricultural Edi
or at State College, Raleigh.
A full discussion of germicidal
substances in the prevention and con
:rol of poultry dieases and parasite
nfestations is contained in the Cir
;ular No. 241. The poultrymen rec
>mmend, however, that sunlight,
jurning and 'boiling are the most
satisfactory disinfectants when they
:an be used convenientlyi
The small grain publication points
jut that oats, wheat, rye, and barley
usually make better yields in the
Coastal Plains than on comparable
soils in the Piedmont and Mountain
3&tions.
The mattress-making pamphlet is
expected to be of value in the project
for low income families which the
Extension Service is directing in
every county in the State, in coopera
km with other agricultural and wel-1
are agencies. |
rake Chance On' ;
Weather, Horticul
turist Advises'
?
Weather conditions are sometimes
unfavorable for the growing of veg- 1
tables in late summer and early fall '
a. many sections of the State, but i
1. R. Niswonger, Extension horticul- <
urist of N. C. State College, says 1
or rural people to take a chance.
"It is said,"* he declared, "that na- j
ure will contribute 90 percent to 1
he growing of vegetables if you will
levote your energy to the balance,
or 10 percent. If this is true, then
ilant during the next six weeks a few
vegetables for an early fall harvest."
Niswonger recommends that, for
Eastern North Carolina, cabbage
plants be set between now and Au
gust 15; beets and carrots should be
planted from August 1 to 20; collards
md sweet corn, August 1 to 10; tur
nips and turnip salad, in August;
and spinach, Swiss chard and toma
toes, in July and August
The Extension specialist also rec
ommends that in making plans for a
garden, it is \ wise to consider the
growing of one' or more of the fol
lowing small fruits, strawberries,
youngberries, and raspebbies. "Two
or three hundred strawberry plants
and twenty-rive each Young or Boy
3enberry variety of dewberries and
the red raspberry will supply your
family with these home fruits," he
says. . . ~ \
? Niswonger reports that many farm
families have grown small fruits in
the home gardens for the first time
this year, and they are delighted with
the results.
FORESTS
While the forests of the United
States are making large contributions
to national defense, the nation has
not provided adequately for the de
fense of the forests, says Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace.
TESTED
Necessary arrangements have been
made to have all breeding cattle, in
Watauga County tested for Bangs
disease, reports H. M. Hamilton, farm
agent of the N. C. State College Ex
tension "Service. .
