War communiques remind us of' pre-election comment. - S Reading a good book may not im prove you much, bet it wont hurt. ?? * - Ame.ican farmers are an illustra tion of what happens to the unor^ ganized.. The Vice-President of the United States seems to be taking a long va cation. Nearly every good salesman can show you how his product will save you money. Advertising in The Farmville En terprise is not a substitute for the mint, but it helps. There are people who marry for security, L e., a meal ticket; they get their reward. Religious statistics: Few churches report cash surpluses, available after all expenses have been paid, ANOTHER "NEW WEAPON" A fair sample of the junk that is being published in this country from Berlin was the recent dispatch, dis closing that the German Navy is try ing out a "new weapon," which will "surprise" the world This line of chatter has been com ing from Germany ever since Hitler began his belligerent tactics. The latest yarn says that the device is being tested in a harbor visited by correspondents but the exact nature of the surprise is, of course, as you would suspect "withheld" SPEEDING UP OUR DEFENSE In order to speed the construction of contonments for the 400,000 sol diers to be inducted into service aa soon as the conscription \bill passes, the President has allotted $25,000, 000 for water, drainage and utility services at the proposed camps. Of course, the money for the can tonments will have to come from Congress but since it takes Inoger to construct facilities for them than to build the wooden barracks the Cheif Executive is speeding up the matter by all means at his disposal. The long debate in the Congress over the selective service measure is getting rather tiresome to most of the people of the country who are not being impressed with the ability of Congress to act in the national in terest. While no one wishes to shut off reasonable debate and wise dis cussion it is felt that the debate has * continued long enough to give op ponents ample opportunity to mjJt? their record BRITISH FLIERS SURPRISE WORLD It is impossible for anybody to tell how the aerial warfare is coming along in Europe but it is evident that the Germans, at least, are meeting with stern opposition and that the British air force has not been oblit erated. The performance of the British Air. force has been one of the out standing mil pa 1mm of the war. Time and again, at critical places, they have fought the German aviators to a atsixhrtfD, notably at Dunkerque and along the British coast How long the British can stand the pounding that they are receiving is a question. Undoubtedly, they are tak ing heavy punishment as well as giv ing it to Germany. The superiority that Germany has in the number of plane* is vital mad rosy prove to be the controlling fac tor in toe aerial warfare. However, if British manufacturing plants are not destroyed maa tnn united same speeds .up the production and delivery of bombers the British will make a enough*to satisfy Mr. Hitler for a Under National Farm Program Hie story of agrfcoltiire in North Carolina daring the put seven years under the National Farm Program is a story of more income, more con servation and more security, says Dr. L 0*. Schaub, director of the j State College Extension Service. "What's more important,4* he declar ed, "ia that it hu been a democratic program, with the farmers helping to run fejxga."' Here are some of the facts and figures Dr. Schaub cited in reporting on the progress: The cash' inoome of North Carolina farmers was 148 percent higher in 1888 than in 1932; buying power increased 231 percent from 1932; farm real estate values in 1940 are 60 percent above those of 1983; 2,018 acres of 1940 wheat was protected by crop insurance; the Firm Credit Administration agencies loaned 878^66,676 from 1888 to 7939; debts of low-income farmers were reduced 8970,707 under Farm Securi ty Administration, debt adjustment service; and 31,102,000 pounds of sur plus foodstuffk were distributed to needy in the last fiscal year. Under conservation, 288,400 North Curpifa* f irmer* participated in the 1989 AAA program, representing about 67 percent of the State's crop land. Participation is even higher in 1940. In 1989 a total of 969,113 acres of North Carolina farm land was covered by 5-year agreements with the Soil Conservation Service. During 1939 a total of 1,175 800 trees were planted with Federal as sistance. Farmers are also more secure in their homes. From 1935 to 1940 15, 824 farm families received rural re habilitation loans totalin# more than 87,670,000, and 8461,730 in grants were made during the same period. Four hundred and nineteen tenant families started toward ownership by loans for farm purchases, and 4,912 miles-of rural electric lines to serve 20,878 farm families was made possi ble by allotments of the Rural Elec trification Administration. "All of thin was in North Carolina, and such progress will continue," Dr. Schaub asserted. Provisions Of New Seed Act Explained Declarations as to the variety of seed shippied in interstate commerce are subject to inspection by Federal inspectors under the new Federal Seed Act, A. D. Stuart, State Col lege seed specialist, cautions. The regulations under the act pro vide for the issuance by growers of declarations as to variety for seed which cannot be distinguished from other varieties by seed characteris tics. It is usually possible for seed dealers to sell seed, labeled as to varieties, for a higher price than seed of which the variety is unknown Stuart says. "Seedmen, in purchasing supplies for the coming year, will no doubt request farmers to sign declarations of variety," the State College special ist continued. "A farmer -should feel free to sign a gsoweris declaration, if he knowr the variety of the seed. Since the declaration are subject to inspection, along with other records, under the Federal Seed Act, the grower is advised to retain any rec ords or other evidence on which he relied in making the declaration. If the grower does not know definitely the variety of the seed, he should not sign a declaration." . Stuart also called attention to the new regulations which will, hereafter prohibit the use of the term "Affidav it Grimm alfalfa" with which many farmers are familiar. "The new Fed erel Act will not allow the use of this name in full because the word 'affadivit" is no part of the name of should be given," he explained. "From now on the words 'Grimm Al falfa' will appear on bags of seed of this variety." ? In conclusion, the specialist said test the new law is expected to pro tect fanners against baying Inferior seed, and by knowing the variety of the seed, they will receive more mon ey for teem.
