It's about the time of the year to
begin hearing that old,'but sestible
slogan, "Swat the fly."
i ' ? 1 <!?
It might pay you to be a little
suspicious of the man who. is willing
to let yon in on * "good thing."
Schemes rarely take the place of
good, hard work in the lives of those
who make a success of living.
Some profits are made by taking
advantage of other people; others by
giving the necessary service.
Judging from the advertising
ballyhoo one hears and reads, beauty
is just a matter of using the right
soap.
Auto fatalities make a battle look j
like a skirmish manoeuver. Around
public opinion will cause enforce- i
ment of traffic laws which will save
lives.
The small boy who used to fake a
toothache to stay away from school
now has a small boy who wonders
why his daddy is "too sick" to work
like other men. *
Correct this sentence: "Mr. , I
have just come over to tell you that
we have a new 'loan" mover, much1
better than the one you borrowed
last summer."
Mail-order houses may make their
contributions to the public good in
the communities where their head
offices are, but they are not doing
much that we can see for Farmville.
The Farmville Enterprise is the
best advertising medium that we
know of in this section, but it cant
make people buy unless the merch
ants here have the things to sell that
the people want.
. WAITING FOR U. S.
, -PLANES
Generalissimo Chiang Kai - shek
says that China is ready to take the
offensive against Japan as soon as
airplanes arrive from the United
States.
The Chinese leader expresses con
fidence as to the outcome of the war
in which his country is now engaged.
He expects to secure the airplanes
from us and to expel the invader
from his country.
When and if the planes will be
available is uncertain. The United
States is stepping up plane produc
tion but it will be many months, we
suspect, before there will be enough
to send the Chinese the number that
they will require to conduct m suc
cessful offensive against Japan.
HERE'S A PLEASANT HOPE
We hope faxm prices rise beeause
s these is nothing that we can think of
that will do the country as much good
as genuine prosperity for agricul
ture. Since 1921, the fanners of the
United States hare bean taking it on
the chin with the ^ result that the
economic balance of ^he United
. States has bass destroyed. Once
farm haying-power is adequately re
?taxed, there is a chance that the
United Stales can enjoy something
I Uke pee ma went prosperity for many
; ; ^ Personally, we realise that pros
Pan-American Day, observing the
creation 51 years ago of a Federation
of the 21 Western Hemisphere re
publics, is April 14. Dean L 0.
! Schaub, director of Extension at N.
C. State College, is among the agri
cultural leaders of the Ifakm who
think that Pan-American Day has
a new significance this year. "Good
neighborliness is especially import
ant right now," he says, "because
friendship between Western Hem
isphere countries is vital to our Na
tional defense." On behalf of the
farm people of North, Carolina, he
i extends a friendly "hand across the
! border" to the good neighbors to the
South of the United States. The U.
S. Department of Agriculture is en
couraging more friendly relations
| with the Fan-American republics
among farm people throughout the
Nation.

FOOD AND FEED
CAMPAIGN TO BE
STARTED IN STATE
With the endorsement And active
participation of Governor J. M.
Broughton, a "Food and Feed for
Family Living" campaign is being
started in rural North Carolina.
Next fall farm families will be grad
ed, and those who have produced at
least 75 percent of their food and
feed requirements for. the year will
receive handsomely engraved certi
ficates signed by the Governor.
Three hundred thousand enroll
ment cards are now being printed,
and shortly each North, Carolina
farm family will receive one of these
cards, together with a fetter of ex
planation, from their county farm
and home agents. There is nothing
compulsory or binding about signing
the cards. It merely is a statement
of the intention of the farm family to
aid in the^National Defense Program.
In each county there is ' being
foijned an Agricultural Workers
Cduhcil to assist fanners in their
plans to produce the necessary food
and feed. All agricultural workers,
including white and Negro agents of
the Extension Service of State Col-,
lege, home demonstration leaders,
vocational teachers, AAA commit
mitteee, and representatives of the
Farm Security Administration, Soil
Conservation Service, Farm Credit
Administration, Grange, Farm Bu
reau, Forest Service and Land Use
Planning Committees are joining to
gether to present a united program
in 1941.
????'? ? % l. a ? t_
The enrollment caro wmcn bkd
farm family will be asked to sign
reads as follows: "In view of the
seed for National Defensfe' now fac
ing our country, I realize that each
farm should produce an abundance^
of Jmnar grown' food and feed for
Some consumption. . I wish to be one
of the fanners of North Carolina
who has a part in making for a
stronger, healthier people in 1941.
"I will, insofar as possible: (1)
Produce adequate food to feed all
people living on the farm. This
means a garden of at least 1/10 acre
per person, milk , and poultry prod
ucts, earnest supply and conserving
of surplus foods for an adequate
diet for every person on the farm.
(2) Grow the necefesary food for
livestock and poultry on the farm!
This means grains, hay, forage, pas
