AT MANILA
While no official information is
available, it is understood that the
Asiatic Fleet at Manila has been
gradually strengthened by the addi
tion of surface ships, submarines and
airplanes. A recent news dispatch
telling of the arrival of several sub
marines, estimated at fifteen the
number of such craft in Asiatic wat
ers.
SILK
The effect of an embargo on the
importation of silk from Japan is
seen by latest available trade statis
tics which show that this country
imported $122,367,000 ^orth of Jap
anese products during the first ten
months of 1940, of which $79,706,000
represented raw silk.
PRISONERS
The prison population of the Unit
ed States consists of about 66,000 per
sons, according to estimates based on
data from 108 prisons and reforma
tories in 46 states and in eighteen
Federal institutions. - Among the
prisoners, 94.9 per cent are men and
5.1 per cent are women. The medium
age of the felony male prisoners 4a
27.6 years and of women 29.2. Of
the felony prisoners, 68.8 per cent
are native-born whites, 26.3 are Ne
groes, 3.8 are foreign-born whites
and 1JL per cent are classified as of
"other races."
BRITISH CASH
A p-efiminary examination of Brit
ain's financial condition, made by U.!
S. Treasury experts, establishes the
fact the British will run out of
cash to pay for purchases of-asms
and munitions in this country "in the
early autumn" of 1941. The report
shows that the British will be Able to
pay for tremendous onkfs which
they are anxious Jp give immediately.

EMPLOYMENT
Between five and six million new
jobs are expected to break the back
of the unemployment problem before
the end of 1941, according to Secre
tary. of Labor Perkins.
PRODUCTION
Theh Defense Commission says
that the nation is now producing
2400. aircraft engines, 700 planes
more than 10,000 semi-automatic
.rifles and lOO tanks a month.
RED CROSS v
The Red Cross plans to send suffi
cient diphtheria toxin to immunize
1,000 British children. It has already
sent 150,000 hypodermic needles. It
is emphasized that the shipments are
of a precautionary nature.

NATURAL RIGHTS
Publication of diplomatic . docu
ments of the United States for the
year 1925 disclosed that Secretary
of State Hughes, with the approval of
President Coolidge, referring to the
possible use of economic and other
; janetions by European nations, warn
ed that this might be antagonistic to
the interests of the United. States.. He
told foreign diplomats that this gov
ernment had been insistent upon the
rights of neutrals and would continue
to maintain them. Interesting , Is
the observation that our so-called
neutrality legislation marked the
practical abandonment of neutral
rights in tidies of war so far as the
United States is concerned.

America and North Carolina rely
on airplanes for National defense and
jaaD defense. Heavily armed planes
such as the giant four-motored "fly
ing- fortress" at top are frequently
seen flying over the State. They
help provide National defense. Thous
I ands of North Carolina farmers, like
I the two pictured beside the truck,
have been supplied aerial photo
graphs of their farms, similar to the
one shown here. The Agricultural
Adjustment Administration has made
aerial photos of about 40,740 square
miles of agricultural land in North
Carolina. Aerial photography in con
nection with the AAA farm program1
was started in the State in 1936 and
in 1940 performance in the program
was checked through aerial photos
in 86 counties. As a part of their
educational work, county farm agents
of the State College Extension Ser
vice show farmers how to use the
aerial photographs to check their
compliance with the program.
Potash Is Deficient |
I In Most Soils of State
Fanners Are thinking of their 1941
fertilizer needs, and J. R. Piland as
sociate soil chemist of N. C. State
College, reminds growers that the
I majority of North Carolina soils are
| deficient in potash. This is especially
true, he says, in soils where cotton,
corn, tobacco, and vegetable crops
of the Coastal Plain are grown. ; 1 <
"In the fertilization of cotton where
cotton rust is prevalent, the use of
fertilizers containing 5 to 8 percent
potash has materially increased
yields," Mr. Piland reports. "Some
times, under severe conditions of rust,
aide dressing with potash has proved i
beneficial."
The chemist says that, in general,
the soils of the Coastal Plain are rela
tively low in their potash reserves,
especially under conditions of inade
quate fertilization. Tobacco has a
high requirement for potash, and
usually there is a noted response of
the crop to this element with regard
to the quality of the leaf produced
The tobacco fertilizer grades now
recommended seem to furnish suffi
cient potash for the production of the
crop in most soils.
Explaining the symptoms of potash
deficiency, Mr. Piland says, "Potash
deficiency is usually accompanied by
yellowing of the leaves of the plant,
with development of brown spots and
death along the margins of the leaves.

Looking at Washington
(Continued from page ??)
terest of this country is identified
with that of Great Britain, ,
The Aid-to-the-Allied group be-!
lieves that, one? thesGennans win in
Europe, this nation will facd a com
bination of Japan, Italy and Ger
many and that it wUl become in
volved in a war that will dwarf pre
vious combats. The other grqup evi
dently believes that, regardless of
who wins in Europe, the United
States is big enough to take care of
itself and its interests in this hemis
phere, no matter how many nations
gang up on us. Whether a Nan vic
tory will inevitably produce a world
wide conflict, involving the United
States, is a matter of opinion. The
President plainly believes that our
civilization cannot live in peace in a
I world dominated by Hitlerism. We,
if anybody is interested, find our
selves in complete agreement with
the Chief Executive.
Mussolini is determined to fight it
out to the end and we trust it will
jbe his end. . .> '
