CAPITAL CLIPBOARD
Wallace Vote May Let Off
Steam Of Irate Democrats
BY EULA N. GREENWOOD
WALLACE . . . Although it
now looks as if North Carolina
may for the first time travel
the lonesome road of the third
party, Democrats are saying—
off the record, of course—that
this could have certain advant
ages to their party.
They are looking at it self
ishly—that is, from a North
Carolina viewpoint.
Here’s the way they figure
it; and it makes sense:
If George Wallace were not
running, GOP Presidential Can
didate Richard Nixon would have
it all his way with disgruntled
Democrats. In other words, they
might very easily vote the
straight Republican ticket * ..
all the way across, with one
or two marks , . . and veto
N. C. Democrats.
On the other hand, the thou
sands upon thousands who vote
for Wallace must pick and
choose. The American Party
doesn’t lend itself to any
straight-ticket doings. After the
dissatisfied Democrat marks
his ballot for Wallace, he is left
to the item-by-item choices on
the other candidates. He gets
out his hatred of Washington by
voting Wallace.
You hear a lot of talk every
election year—the Presidential
years, that is—about various
Congressmen, etc., going in
“on the coat-tails” of the top
man. This was particularly true
in 1964 when a large slice of
the Republican Party did not
believe in its heart that Barry
Gold water was the man for
President. So, alas, they went
with L. B. Johnson. The Demo
cratic Presidential candidate
got the big mark at the top of
the ballot . . . and so it went
with the others ... as well.
And this echoed all down the
sheet—the straight ticket—and
gave President Johnson more
power (in the 1965 Congress)
than any other President since
FDR in 1937.
You know what he did with it.
So, while this “cottails” bus
iness is psychological, it is also
a. matter of sheer convenience,
ttls much easier and quicker
to vote a straight ticket than
to vote for the man.
And that is how one George
Wallace of Montgomery, Ala
bama, may be a boon to the N.
C. Democratic ticket come Nov
ember. Get it? You whop them
in Washington with Wallace, get
this out of your system, and then
go with the regular ticket as
usual. So believe our Demo
crats.
This may be wishful
thinking——.
TEN-FOOT POLE ... You
know by now—or will goon know
—Exactly what happened at the
Democratic Convention in
Chicago.
With the Republicans, South
Carolina was in the middle of
things. North Carolina played
around, some going for Nixon
and the others playing footsie
with Regan. What the State GOP
gained from this maneuver, no
body seems to know.
The question now seems to be
this: who will get more votes
in North Carolina—Gardner or
Nixon.
As of this past week, it was
all Dan Moore with those Demo
crats who were going to Chicago.
They were not looking beyond
Moore. They seemed to know,
deep down, that it would be
Hubert Horatio fkanphrey. How
ever, not even the Democrats'
candidate for Governor was say
ing a word for Humphrey.
And, as of the latter part of
August, it looked as if the Vice
President would have to carry
North Carolina on his own—
if he hoped to carry it. Tar
heel Democrats were not touch
ing him with a ten-foot pole
as of august 25, 1968 B.C. (Be
fore Chicago).
What will the situation be from
here to November 5?
FED UP ... The Democratic
National Committee has finally
changed iti Washington, D. C„
number. They were more or lea*
forced into it when word got
anxmd that you could reach them
by dialing “FED UP 68”.
ft waa the atrangeat of many
strange things that have hap
pened on the political scene this
year. Of the millions of number
i combinations the Democrats
could hers chosen for their No,
1 oaflce, they came up with 333
87681
Now, while you are thinking
about It, go to your telephone.
You will find that 333 la FED
and 87 is UP. The remainder
cf tbi number is 68.
Would you Ilka to dial this
amber in Washington? ft yon
try it—after dialing area code
202—a matter-of-fact, record
voice will come back with this:
“Sorry. The number you called
is not in service.*'
The party got fed up with it
several weeks ago.
FOR SANFORD . .. Although,
as Bob Scott said recently,
there has been no concerted
effort among N. C. Democrats to
boost former Gov. Terry San
ford for Vice President, his can
didacy has had support from
some faithful followers in this
State.
While Sanford himself... ex
pressed serious doubt about his
chances, some little amount of
money was spent in his behalf.
This went mostly for printing.
It began over a month ago ...
and continued right on into last
week . . . right here in Raleigh.
He is closer to Humphrey than
any other North Carolinian with
the possible exception of U. S.
Sen. Everett Jordan. Nothing
“just happens” any more ...
and this applies to Terry San
ford on the Veep route.
PERSONAL . . . If your name
has no more than six letters,
you can put it on your license
pl^te at an extra cost of $10.

Says Advertising Can Be
Great Benefit To People
Advertising can be of great
aid to you, the consumer. For
no matter how much advertising
is “praised or panned,” it is
a necessary part erf the Ameri
can way of doing business, Mrs.
Justine J. Rozier, extension
home management specialist,
North Carolina State University*
observes.
Advertising aids inthedistri
bution of goods produced in our
free economic system and helps
us all enjoy a higher level of
living, she notes.
The cost of advertising a
product nationally is a part of
its production cost. Manufact
urers add advertising costs to
the costs of equipment, raw ma
terials and labor. However, by
advertising, the producer is
usually able to produce and sell
a larger quantity of goods, Mrs.
Rozier explains. He may be able
to buy raw materials at lower
prices because he buys them in
larger quantities. And if be
makes a really good product,
you are probably buying it as
inexpensively as you could with
out advertising, because others
are buying it, too. - — - *__
I a retailer advtrtisltt,
he also hopes to increase busi*
ness volume, so that all his
costs, including advertising, are
more than covered and his busi
ness will make a profit. The
more he sells, the less the
cost of advertising per unit
of goods sold.
Mrs. Rozier says, we enjoy
radio and television at no direct
cost to us because of advertis
ing. Newspapers and magazines
also cost us less than they would
if they did not contain adver
tising.
In addition, advertising lets
us know whfen new products are
available on the market. It
should give us the facts about
various items we wish to buy
and should tell us where to buy
the product, what the price is
and when the store is open.
Consumers will do well to
look for the facts of advertising
and to not be mislead by glamor
ous words or endorsements.
Whenreading an advertisement,
Mrs. Rozier suggest you look
for the name of the product;
the name of the manufacturer;
location of store or stores where
the product is sold; descrip
tion of the product, including
sizes, colors and special fea
tures; and full price of the
product.
‘‘Since advertising is so im*.
portant, it’s up to us to use
it wisely,” Mrs. Rozier be
lieves.
Farmers Are Urged
To Help Children
Farmers were urged today
by the Department of Labor to
help boys and girls under 16
to finish their education. At
the same time, the formers will
be obeying the law.
The child labor provisions of
the Fair Labor Standards Act
prohibit youngsters under 16
from working on a farm during
school hours while school is in
session.
The law applies equally to
local and migrant youth.
"Farmers can still hire teen
agers under 16 to work after
school and on the weekends in
non-hazardous jobs. This will
help needy boys and girls earn
the money necessary to stay
in school/’ the Labor Depart
ment’s Wage-Hour field office
supervisor, Labon F. Chappell,
in Greensboro observed.
“This law offers the indivi
dual farmer a real chance to
contribute to the betterment of
our society and our country,’’
says Chappell.
“The former who encourages
these youngsters to finish
school while they work part
time for him will never have to
feel that he knowingly did not
help someone out of the vic
ious cycle of poverty/’
Labor Department studies
show how violations of this law
cost the boys and girls involved
—almost half of the young form
workers were in grades well
below the norm for their ages;
and at the age of 15, 7 out of
10 local form youth, and 9 out
of 10 migrant farm youth, had
not reached the grade normal
for their age.
“It is particularly important
that this law is understood at
this time as schools across the
country are reopening for the
new school year. Unknowingly,
formers may permit boys and
girls under 16 to continue work
ing full time. This is, of course,
against the law/* Chappell
pointed out.
“If there is a difference bet
ween State and Federal child
tabor standards, the higher
standards apply.
“Iwant to personally urge that
anyone—farmer, form youth,
parent, or teacher—with ques
tions about child tabor stand
ards, minimum wages, or over
time pay, contact me at my
office at 220 Federal Bldg., 324
Market Street, Greensboro, N.
C. 27402, telephone, 919-275
9111. Pm here to help.”

UNUSUAL TRANSPORATION
Members of the Pikeville Ex
tension Homemakers Club,
Wayne County, were a bit sur
prised to see their president
Mrs. Susie Dickerson, arrive
at the club meeting on a tractor.
“But,” she explained,” it was
the only transportation that was
available at the time.”
“I figured,” she told Betty
Jean Barr, home economics Ex
tension agent, “it really didn’t
matter how I got here; the im
portant thing was that I made it
to the meeting.”
ENTHUSIASTIC WORKER
Hugh C. Hutchins, from
Granite Quarry, was most en
thusiastic worker at a refinish
ing furniture workshop recently
held by Edith Hinshaw, home
economics Extension agent, Ro
wan County.
Hutchins had to retire from
barbering because of poor eye
sight, she explains. Later he
attended the School for the Blind
in Raleigh to learn how to put
bottoms in chairs.
But often the chairs needed to
be refinished before he could
cane them, and Hutchins had to
pay someone else to do this part
of the job.
“Now,” Miss Hinshaw says,
“Hutchins can do the entire
chair.”
ON FRENCH IMPORTS
The Treasury Department
has raised duties on most
French exports to this country
fay 2.5 per cent. It is an attempt
to offset subsidies France pays
her large domestic mamrfac
turers. Effective date is Sep
tember 14th.
A POT'S THE SPOT
Geraniums fill this square pot with brilliant
blossoms which may be red, scarlet, any shade of
pink or rose, as well as white. For interesting
contrast with these colors and the deep green
foliage, variegated vinca cascades down the sides.
Multi flora petunias are used as a “topping” for
this round pot. Lower growing than grandifloras,
they hare slightly smaller but many more flowers
In so many shades of so many colors that space
does not permit a description of the entire list.
A pot's the spot to plant the showiest, gaudiest
blooms you can grow, for a pofr is the only spot
in the garden that’s movable. If you want to
change a garden scene, moving pots of blooms
about will do the trick.
The most popular flowers for such use are,
deservedly, geraniums and petunias. The two
thrive under pot culture and bloom profusely in
gay colors for as long a period as any annual
flower.
Depending on the size of pot that is in scale
with the size of your garden, you can put in a
pot as few as 3 plants of petunias or a single
geranium. The bigger the pot, the more plants
in it, the greater the garden effect.
When planting in pots be sure the soil is well
provided with organic matter and fertilized.
Plants are set close together in a pot, closer than
would be the case in the ground, because a mass
of color is desired. Without adequate soil prepa
ration, they simply cannot get sufficient nourish
ment.
It goes without saying that watering must be
regular and thorough for pots have compara
tively large surfaces exposed to drying sun.
The point often missed is that the pot must
have adequate drainage so that the soil never
becomes water-logged. If it has a hole in the
bottom, cover that with a flat stone or a piece
of broken flower pot so that the soil is held back
while the water seeps out.
Lacking a drainage hole, several inches depth
of drainage materials must be used at the bottom
of the pot. Gravel or broken flower pot are both
excellent materials.
Because the soil used over them has been en
riched as suggested above, there should be no
need to add fertilizer until mid-summer. At that
time the plants in the pot probably will show by
their growth that they are coming to the end of
the nourishment in the soil.
Add fertilizer sparingly, rather too little than
too much, remembering always the limited
amount of soil in the limited area of the pot.
Geraniums and petunias are not, of course, the
only plants for use in pots, though they certainly
afCjth j showiest. Other annuals for this use in
clude dwarf and medium height marigolds, ager
alum (good for edging taller kinds), lantanas,
verbenas, lobelias and dwarf nasturtiums.
Because the eventual heights and widths of the
plants named vary, the planting distances will
too. Just remember that it's an effect of massed
color that makes a pot a picture.
New “Green Manure” Crop
Has Promise In Carolina
Agricultural scientists at
North Carolina State University
have developed a new “green
manure” crop for North Caro
lina and the South.
The new crop is a variety of
pigeon pea, which its chief de
veloper, Dr. W. T. Fike, says
has an outstanding potential as
a cover crop and as a source
of organic matter and nitrogen.
Dr. R. L. Loworn, director
of agricultural research at
NCSU, said the new crop var
iety has been named “Norman”
because much of the research
was done at the Sandhills Re
search Station near the town of
Norman.
Norman is recommended as
a replacement for crotalaria,
a widely grown cover crop that
was banned after its seeds were
found to be poisipnous to
livestock. Norman also appears
to be superior to hairy indigo,
one of the replacements for cro
talaria.
‘The Norman pigeon pea has
more promise in North Caro
lina than any other green
manure crop.” Dr. Fike com
mented. “The plants emerge
Quicker, grow faster and have
more resistance to nematodes.
The seeds are also nontoxic.”
Norman averaged yielding
about 31/2 tons of dry matter
per acre in tests over the past
four years as compared to about
2 1/2 tons for crotalaria and
hairy indigo. Norman is resis
tant to the two main root knot
nematodes found in North Caro
lina. It shows some resistance
to two other root knot nemato
des. It is susceptible, however,
to the lesion nematode.
“We estimate that about 70,
000 acres of diverted cropland
in North Carolina could have
profitably been planted in Nor
man pigeon peas this year,”
Fike said.
Seeds for the new crop are
being increased this year and
will be available for farmer
planting in 1969.
Pigeon peas, Dr. Fike ex
plained, are a perennial legume
cultivated in tropical countries
for the edible small seed or
“peas.” The growing season in
North Carolina is too short for
many of the seed to develop.
Therefore, local seed supplies
must come from areas such al
Florida, where interest is also
being shown in Norman as a food*
crop. Norman must be grown
annually from seed, ft reaches
a height of five to seven feet
and flowers in late August. If
planted early enough, seed pods
will form in late summer. Frost
usually kills the plant before
the seeds mature, however .The
few seeds which have matured
in the state have not survived
the winter in the soil.
Fike, as associate professor
in the Department of Crop
Science at NCSU, developed
Norman from seed originally
brought to this countryby USDA
scientists firm Pakistan. He
received assistance from agri
cultural scientists in several
other southern states, where
Norman has also performed
well.
Huntings of Norman for de
monstration purposes have been
placed on farms this year in
Martin, Sampson, Montgomery,
Onslow, Hertford, Chowan,
Halifax, Edgecombe and Rich
mond counties.
Plantings were made last
year in several of the same
counties plus Bertie and North
ampton.
“Farmers like it, “Fike said.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
Time was when we as a nation
felt that a man should be held
Accountable for Ms own deed*#
i>r misdeeds. ip
* Recently, however, a massive
guilt complex seems to have
swept the country, leaving in its
wake a substantial number of
people who feel that society
is somehow to blame for the
weak-willed and irresponsible
citizen who turns against the
state.
Public apathy and indif
ference, it is suggested, have
spread across the land, and from
it has arisen a legion of law
breakers.
u uus txMita is true, uapainy
Ib the major cause of crime,
the public should ask just what
has brought about this almost
overnlght apathy, and why it Is
not so prevalent in other areas
of social life. Why is this apathy
confined to crime? For, gen
erally speaking, it is. Ameri
cans are not, by nature, an apa
thetic people. In no other na
tion, as a matter of bet, la
the social conscience more
highly refined than in America.
Evidence of this is all around
us. Orphanages, schools, hos
pitals, homes for the blind,
charities by the score are sup
ported by citizens contributions.
On things that matter, Ameri
cans ususlly shows mighty con
cern. Why, then, this apathy
toward one of the major social
problems now besetting us?
It springs, I believe—this
puzzling apathy of ours toward
crime—from our disillusion
ment with our system of Jus
tice, People have too little con
fidence in our courts* willing
ness to administer justice.
Starting with the Supreme Court
and extending down toour lower
courts, the public gives little
credence to Its courts.
Some of this feeling Is jus
tified, but to say that the
Supreme Court is completely
responsible for crime is abso
lutely absurd. On the other hand,
to say that it is entirely blame
less Is eqtally as absurd.
Certainly, some of the High
Court’s rulings have encouraged
the criminal and increased the
imwilllngness of tbs pdbllc to
become Involved. In the Mal
lory case, for example, the
Supreme Court turned loose a
confessed rapist because one
single day had elapsed between
Us arrest and Ms arraignment.
Justice was hardly served lit.
this case, particularly whan the
culprit was subsequently ar
rested for a similar crime.
The now famous 1966 decision
concerning police Interrogation
of criminal suspects lift much
of the nation unsettled and un
certain, as—indeed—It did
much of the Supreme Court
itself. Justice John Harlan said
of the 5-to-4 majority vote:
“The social costs of crime
are too great to call the new
rules anything but hazardous
experimentation*'. Justice
Byron White also strongly dis
sented.
To conclude then, that Su
preme Court decisions—parti
cularly when they are opposed
by four of the nine members
of the court—do not create fear
and destroy confidence in our
country is a deliberate denial
of the obvious.
Work—much work—needs to
be done to dispel public apathy
and return at least a semblance
of order to our society; and
what better place to start than
with the Supreme Court?

Topics Of Farm Interest Are
Feature Of New Publication
una way north uarollmans
arc staying abreast of the poli
cies, issues and changes affect
ing agriculture la through a
monthly publication prepared by
economists at North Carolina
State University.
"Tarheel Farm Economist”
is a tour-page monthly newslet
ter which treats current topics
of interest to the large agricul
tural community, presenting an
objective analysis which can be
read easily and understood by
farmers and industry people
alike.
The first Issue was dated Au
gust 1962. Since then, issues
have included a broad range
ot topics of interest. A recent
issue, for example, contained
discussions relating to produc
tion technology—how fast farm
practices are changing, the ef
fect on costs and returns, the
effect upon farm structure, the
implications for the future of
farming.
Other issues so far this year
nave dealt with nek, the world
food, problem, international
trade, tanner bargaining, agri
cultural statistics and mechani
cal tobacco harvesting.
Issues of the “Tarheel Farm
Economist” soon to come off
the press will include discus
sions of the federal budget,
new agricultural opportunities,
international monetary system,
insurance and 1969 outlook.
D. G. Harwood Jr., extension
farm management economist,
said anyone can receive “Tar
heel Farm Economist” by giv
ing his name and address to the
county agricultural extension
agent. There is no charge. Some
10,000 Tar Heels already re
ceive the publication.
Says Harwood, “The era when
farming was a way of life is
gone. Today, agriculture is big
business. If North Carolina’s
agriculture is to remain com
petitive, it must continually ad
just to meet changes in the
economic environment.
