I of Bureaucracy
L-. By RAYMOND PITCA1RN
H? bu erected a multitude of New
Offices, and sent hither swarms at offl?*m
to harass our people...M
*
The right of the people to be secure
|h their persons, houses, papers, and
'effects, against unreasonable searches
land leisures, shall not be violated . . ."
| '
Here r?re two distinctively American
I statements. The first was written lpto
the Declaration of Independence as a
protest against the oppressions which
brought oh the Revolution. The second
was written into our Bill of Rights.
Together they express a fundamental
national concept ? that the citizen's
'right of privacy in his own life and
'his att-n nome kVaiiIH remain irn?lr,lofc *
' But totfay millions o( Americans are 1
--^wondering Just how far that principle I
Is still honored. Today when more than '
? lttthQQ .<
ing at their doors to d< ir.-.nd answers to *
personal questions thai no earlier cen- I
sus asked, they ore wondenng If the 1
American Spirit in Government has j
changed. . j
For they know that the men who
established our Government never contemplated
such a tiling as forcing
American citizens to reveal to censustakers?who
may be political appointees
or neighbors or both ? the many personal
matters, including wages, salary
and other Income, asked of some 130.000.000
American " citizens in the 1940
census.
How, then. It may be asked, did
America come to depart so far from |
these safeguards of the right of every ,
man to personal privacy?
The answer is obvious. It Is the old
atory of Bureaucracy feeding upon 1M
own power. It Is the story of what
happens when politicians and joba_

?t; unchecked by Congress or the i
people.
Bureaucratic snooping is not new ?
even to America. During the past few
years we have seen,much of it'. But
heretofore it, lias invaded the rights
of only small and politically-uninfluential
minorities ? and for that reason i
has been tolerated by the people. Then. '
emboldened by the absence of ellective
protests, it insisted upon prying into
the intimate ailairs of every citizen.
Such are the methods of Bureau- '
cratic oppression?yesterday the few; i
tomorrow the many. (
That is how Bureaucracy always
gains power, as the current history of j
totalitarian Europe, with its growing
record of minority and religious persecution.
will show. That is how Free j
Government is weakened.
That is what the Founders meant j
when they said: "Eternal Vigilance is I
the Price of Liberty." And that is what
the people recognise when they protest
against increasing invasions of their
right of privacy.

The output of baby chicks has

they have encrturtrred trouble In
establishing steady yearooimd suppiles.
From November until spring, the
demand for broilers and fryers is
usually weak due to conioetitlon
from fresh pork, hens, and turkeys.
As a result, present low prices will
not begin to pick up until the first
part of the spring. However, the
lonsumption of broilers and fryers
is increasing each year in North
Carolina, and the.market will continue
to take a reasonable supply

Transplanting Tree Is
Delicate Process .
The first three weeks of .January
is the best time for transplanting
deciduous trees, says J.' P. Pillsbur'y
professor of landscape architecture
tu State College.
l"itle?s carried out carefully and
< op e-fly. the transplating of these
>t;-'"s will result in failure. Many
people, neglecting a few minor details
ihen making the transfer,
hdve watched their work go for nau
uht as the tree died in its new location."
Deciduous trees, PIHsbury explained.
are. those which shed their
leaves during the winder. If the tree
is one which has a tap root, such
as white oak br walnut, or is over
two inches in trunk diameter,. it
should have had a partial root-prun
iug treatment during the preceding
dormant season. . .
In tthe case of the tap-rooted
sorts. this will include digging down
on one side, or on the .opposite side
of the tree, to expose the tap root

When the tap root Is exposed, a

should be cut with a long handled
chisel and mallet. The cut at the
top of the section should he made
smooth.
It Is important to wait for favorable
weather In the transplanting
process. The day should be mild to
cold and cloudy to rainy.
Holes should be dug oversize . in
nil dimensions." and good fertile top
soil should be used in setting the
trees. Manure should never he used
except as a mulch over the top
of the soil after the tree has been

In digging up the tree, as large

roots should he allowed to become
dry during the period of their exposure
between digging; and planting

Poultry problems attended to at

trouble later in the year, says T. T.

generally prevent most of the pick-1
itie habits, not onl> during the
brooding stage, hut also during the
laying year. - ' ' '
Many poultrymf-n have their profits
reduced considerably becauA:
of the heavy losses of hens and pullets
during the late winter and
spring as a result of the birds' going
light, lame, or blind. Little can
be done to improve a flock in such
condition, but much can be done to
prevent it in next year's laying
flock by growing out more healthy
pullets.
Another major problem is the
maintaining of a high egg product"
ten through the summer. This can
best bo accomplished by a program
cf rigid culling. Sending persistent
ly broody hens to the market will
raise the egg. average of the flock.
It is also advisable to reduce, the
amount of corn fed In the scratch
! and replace this grain wifh oats dur
I ing the hot months. Likewise. an
| abundnnee of cool water and plenty I
j of shade are necessary for the flock
