SHAMEFUL
It is shameful for one to buy and another
to sell corn at 30 cents a bushel which is
being done in this county, according to re
ports. Meal is going at 30 cents a peck, and
this situation would indicate that the pro
ducer and the consumer will soon starve to
death.
Because a farmer needs a little ready
cash for Christmas and automobile licenses,
it is no reason for stripping him of his staff
of life and turn him loose to starve. Yet,
it is a shame to take his goods for next to 1
nothing, and the crime is even greater b£- J
cause he has no better sense than to sell. 1

THE SIGNIFICENT SUM 1 '
The News & Observer
From Washington comes the report of the
Department of Agriculture that, while the
farm value of all the principal crops grown
in the United States totalled $5,118,444,-
000 this year as compared with $4,779,335,-
000 last year, the value of crops in North
Carolina declined 5 per cent.
Certainly here is nothing for North Caro
lina to be alarmed about. North Carolina
farmers, accustomed to the most violent and
destructive fluctuations in the prices paid
for their crops from year to year under the
Old Deal, will be impressed by the modera
tion of this slight recession. They will re
member that farmers in this State were
among the first to receive the agricultural
aid of the administration which continues
to increase the income of men who till
the soil in America.'
The significant fact for North Carolina is
not the slight decrease this year but the
procession of advance from the agricultural
prostration under Hoover. Consider the an
nual value of this State's crops from the
abyss of the last Hoover year through the
present year.
1932 $104,326,000
1933 > $194,390,000
1934 $262,973,000
1935 $246,348,000
And on the basis of those figures consider
what the Roosevelt administration and its
AAA has meant to North Carolina since its
beginning in 1933. The increase in crop val- ,
ues over 1932, the last year in which Hoover
THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD, R9CKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA
carts rumbled over North , Carolina roads,
was $90,064,000 in 1933, $1*58,647,000 in
1934, and $142,022,000 in 1935. Thus the
agricultural disaster and stagnation under
Hoover has meant in North Carolina, is
$290,733,000.
That is the significant sum, significant
not only to farmers but to merchants, auto
mobile dealers, newspapers, bankers, doc
tors, lawyers, everybody who earns a living
in the State. That is the sum that not all
of the opponents of the New Deal can ex
plain away. That is the sum which oppo
nents of the New Deal and the AAA would
deny North Carolina and take out of its
economic life. That is the sum that not on
ly farmers but everybody in North Caro
lina who is interested in North Carolina's
welfare should steadily remember while the
Tories are attacking the New Deal that has
blessed them and their State.
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
Be not ashamed of those New Year's Re
solutions you made. They represent the best
aspects of your better nature. They repre
sent what you would like to be. It is much
better if you can keep them but if they
are broken they are not wasted. It was
/ Browning in his beautiful poem, "Rabbi Ben
I Ezra" who said "What I Aspired to be and
was n6\; Comforts Me." Also Longfellow
said "Nothing of Good was ever Wasted."
t The time spent in making New Year's Reso
lutions was time well-spent.

Question: How much fertilizer
should I use on mv tobacco plant
bed?
Answer: An application of 200
pounds of a 4-8-3 mixture should
be applied to each 100 square yards
of bed. If a lower grade of ferti
lizer is used it can be supplemented
with from 50 to 100 pounds of cot
ton seed meal provided the meal
is thoroughly mixed with the soil.
All fertilizer should be broadcast
and mixed thoroughly with the top
three or four inches of soil. Do not
use tobacco trash on the beds nor
any manure containing tobacco leav-

PEACE AT ANY PRICE
Wendell Gold Leaf Farmer. _____
We take second place to none in our ha
tred of war. it at first hand in
all its horror ijjVthe wreck of the forest of
Montfaucon. we I hink war is the most un
thinkable crime T„hat can be committed by
a civilized and Christian nation, but when
a group of students, in the natural enthu
siasm of youth declares for peace at any
price, and states that not even an invasion
would be resisted by them, they are getting
a little beyond us.
We feel that there are and always will be
until the worlfl is really civilized and Chris
tianized times when even the most peaceful
man or nation must fight.
OUR CONSTITUTION
Wendell Gold Leaf Farmer.
Gladstone, ablest, perhaps, of English
jurists, stated that the Constitution of the
United States was the greatest document
ever produced at a given time by the brain
of man, and time has shown that he was a
sound judge.
Guaranteeing as it does the freedom of
the press, freedom of speech, and freedom
of peaceable assembly, this document is
dear to the heart of every true American.
That it should be amended when necessary
to make it fit changing times goes without
saying, but that it should be radically chang
ed now or at any nearby future time we se
riously doubt.

Question: How can I keep my c
chickens from picking out their fea- I
thers? t
Answer: This trouble is caused by c
a small mite that gets into the skin
near the base of the feathers and *
causes irritation. To get rid of this t
mite the poultry house should be £
thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with i
a solution of three parts of crude i
petroleum or carbolineum and one r
and one-half parts of kerosene. Dip i
the birds in a tub containing two £
ounces of flowers of sulphur and six 1
ounces of flaked soap to five gal- 1
lons of tepid water. Be sure that the i
solution gets to the skin. t
Question: Should the grain ration
present them to the undersigned ad
ministrator on or before the 20th
day of December, 1936, or this notice
will be pleaded in bar of their re
covery. All persons indebted to said
estate •will please make immediate
payment.

of my dairy cows be increased dur
ing the winter months?
Answer: This depends upon the
quality of hay and the present milk
production. Each animal should have
about three pounds of silage each
day for each 100 pounds of live
weight and all the legume hay she
will consume in two feedings. When
the quality of hay is poor, more
grain will be required. However, no
matter what amount is being fed,
if the milk production remains nor
mal then the feeding should not be
increased. Extension Circular 193
gives the grain rations for different
breeds and amounts of production.
This circular will be sent free upon
application to the Agricultural Edi
tor at State College.
