THE FARMER NEEDS
, HEW INDUSTRIES
Well, here We are in the old
rocking chair again!
Things are happening fast,
these days, and it seems like so
many of them go by opposites.
Maybe some of
our so-cf.lled
heavy thinkers
never heard of
moles.
A friend of
ours had been
having a siege of
these burrowers
in the lawn he
takes much pride
in. Naturally, he
went after them,
with all the in
Kyes
genuity he could muster. Bujt
you know how moles are. Every
time he thought he had their
tuns all figured out, and the de
vices arranged, the moles them
' selves turned out to have bur
rowed off in another direction
entirely.
Take the excess profits tax we
hear so much about. One of the
aims in mind was to discourage
bigness in business, although it
has never been entirely clear to
most thinking people why big
ness, of itself, is undesirable.
After all, there is not a man liv
ing whose daily requirements are
not more richly realized because
the resources of some big business
provided clothing or equipment
pheaper and better.
But the mole has gone off in
another direction. As the thing
works out, what actually happens
is that the excess profits tax
works definitely against the es
tablishment and growth of new
Industries. And what does that
do to the initiative that has kept
America growing?
As a. matter of sober fitQ'tf&at
does it do to rural America? W0
have talked here before about in
dus trial uses for farm products
being the real hope of an expand !
Ing market for the farmer.. Yet
this ta'xation principle actually
discourages new Industries from
starting.
So, as we sit in our rocking
chairs, mulling this and that
about the future of farming, we
discover that something that
seemed to belong in another
world entirely to be the con
cern only of some legendary cap
tain of industry kicks right back
into our own world of crops and
markets and livelihood.
I What the farmer needs is more
Industries, not fewer; new indus
tries that will be built upon some
body's cleverness in using prod
ucts that can be grown .on the
farm; new industries that will
make things which are now lux
uries for the few into everyday
commodities for everybody; new
industries that will give employ
ment and provide wages which
will make a healthy market for
all farm products. If this reason
ing is sound, and it is, then the
farmer ought to be, for his own
selfish fc:e, the greatest booster
in the country for some kind of
a set-up which will encourage
these new industries to come into
being.
And, of course, many of these
new industries would be started
in the small towns of the coun
try, to get away from the con
gested situation of . the great in
dustrial centers. That, in itself,
would be a great boon to many
a rural community, from many
angles.
As we talk to people in cities,
they seem to have the idea that
farmers think differently about
what makes the wheels go 'round
than other people do. Our im
pression is that they do think dif
ferently, meaning more clearly, if
they have all the facts to weigh.
We wish there was less effort in
this country to put a fence be
tween agriculture and industry.
If the farmer is not a business
man, yes, even an industrialist,
then words have lost their mean
ing. One measure of a business man
is that he tries to do something
constructive about things that af
fect his business.

AM FILLED VJITH DEI
V GRADUATES OF THE $
SCHOOL OF JL&
I Project Sponsored
By Bank Receives
Back in 1929, on March 22, the
Hertford Banking Company sponsor
ed a pig project among boys who
were members of the 4-H Club in
Perquimang County.
That the idea was a fine one can
be realized by the praise given it
this week by P. H. Jameson, assistant
County Agent, of Elizabeth City.
Mr. Jameson said: "I would like to
take this opportunity to say that
this is a fine public-spirited piece of
work. It proves definitely that the
bank has the welfare of our farm
people at heart. I want to person
ally express my appreciation to the
banking authorities for the fine co
operation." At the beginning of the project six
pigs were given out to six different
boys, who after raising them to ma
turity and breeding them returned
one pig to the Hertford Banking
Company, who in turn spread the
project by placing the returned pig
in the hands of another young man.
The round-robin distribution has
grown until at the present time a
total of nineteen boys have been giv
en a total of twenty pigs.
The following boys have received
gilts and have' been cooperating in
the project: Broughton Dail, Dan
Berry, Lyndon White, Carlton Nixon,
Carroll Perry, R. H. Copeland, Jr.,
Robert Perry, Donald Lane, Lloyd
Cmley, Harvey Chappell, Belvin Eure,
Bobby Elliott, Melvin Rountree,
Joseph W. Ayscue, Lester Baker, Ed
ward Barber, Fleetwood Williams,
Howard Ward, Jack iSimpson and
Wilton Lamb.
The breed being sponsored in this
project is the Spotted Poland China.
It is believed that'if the project con-,
tinues to make the progress it has in
the past, it will soon be a full-time
job for a good man.
More Profits Seen
In Hogs This Year
A steadily increasing demand for
pork in the National Defense Pro
gram means that hogs will be more
profitable for North Carolina farm
ers this year, says E. V. Vestal,
swine specialist of the U. C. State
College Extension Service.
In recognition of the importance
of pork in feeding the nation, the
Government has announced a pro
gram which will support hog prices
at $9 per 100 pounds, Chicago basis,
until June 30, 1943.
With this floor under hog prices,
Vestal is urging growers to make a
special effort to produce not only
pork for the market but for family
use as well. Right now surplus corn
and other grains can be fed profit
ably to animals intended for market.
Likewise, temporary pastures may
be planted at this season for hogs.
Alternate rows of soybeans and mil
let or (Sudan grass will furnish ex
cellent grazing for sows and their
litters, as well as for growing pigs.
An acre of this pasture will sup
ply most of the feed necessary for
10 or more growing pigs if the soy
beans are permitted to reach 8 to 12
inches before the animals are turned
on them.
A few ears of corn daily will in
crease gains considerably and the
addition of one-tenth pound of tank
age or fishmeal or a small amount
of milk per pig each day will make
the gains even more economical, the
State College specialist advised.
Plenty of cool clean drinking wa
ter at all times should be a "must"
in the swine grower's program. Sim
ilarly, minerals should be available
for growing pigs as well as other
hogs. The mineral mixture should
be placed where the animals may
have access to it at all times.

Survey Shows $3.60 For Each
Washington, D. C. Lower prices
for fertilizers due to industry econo
mies have saved farmers $200,000,000
a year, acording to government analy
sis made by A. L. Mehring of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture who shows
that the sharp downward trend of fer
tilizer prices since 1880 was inter
rupted only during the period of the
last war; when, due to our country's
dependence at that time on foreign
supplies, prices rose sharply. After
that they again resumed their down
ward trend. At the same time the
industry made the nation self-sufficient
and no longer largely dependent
upon foreign sources of supply.
"Prices dropped sharply during the
depression and have never recovered
to the extent that other commodities
have. As a result of this fact, fer

tilizer prices today give the farmer
real parity for his dollar," says
Charles J. Brand, Executive Secretary
and Treasurer of The National Fertil
izer Association. "Prices received by
farmers for their products today
would have to go up 21 per cent to
reach parity with what farmers pay
for all commodities which they buy.
But, so far as fertilizer is concerned,
the picture is different The present
price of fertilizer is so low that it
gives the farmer, instead of a 21 per
cent handicap, a 5 per cent advantage
on every dollar he spends for fertil
izer." Returns from a recent survey of
32,000 farmers show that an invest
ment in low-priced fertilizers yields
high returns. An average of $3.60
returned for each $1.00 which they
spent for fertilizer.

There are floating islands in va

gardens in Kashmir, and in the Cal

famous banyan tree which has a
spread of 1,000 feet in circumfer
ence. Thousands of horsemen have
sheltered under this at the same
time.
Heliotrope, "Herb of Love"
Heliotrope is called the "herb of
love." The Grecian derivation
means "to turn toward the sun."
The heliotrope was supposed to
have many of the healing qualities
similar to those of the gentian.
