A LIFT FOR TODAY
if . . . Lead me in the way everlasting.
—Psalms 139:24.
FAITH FIXED in God’s goodness destroys
; despair, and He will lead us if we trust Him.
* Out of our weakness. O God. we call upon
in faith for strength when the waif h
difficult.
;t Some Economic Truths
The following editorial appeared jn the
; August sth edition of the Chicago Daily
; Drovers Journal, and is reprinted for the
■ benefit of Herald readers:
* Great truths have a persistence about them
that defies all the political and economic
fakerv and quackery that ill-advised men
can contrive to circumvent and thwart them.
No matter where we hide or how hard we
i may try to alter it for our purposes, truth
ultimately survives, untarnished and unchal
i lenged.
We are in debt to a Midwest business
man’s group for a list of such that
• should be reviewed periodically by all of us,
; but perhaps the beginning of the 90-day po
litical campaign makes it particularly appro
priate to weigh and ponder them at this time.
~ We offer for your consideration “Ten Pillars
erf Economic Wisdom”: \
. I*l. Nothing in the material world can come
F from nowhere or go nowhere, nor can it be
had free. Everything in our economic life
has a source, a destination and a cost that
must be paid.
2. Government is never a source of goods.
Everything produced is produced by. the peo
ple. and every thing that government gives
to the people it must first take from the peo
n pie.
k; 3. The only valuable money that govern
| ment has to spend is money taxed or borrow
fed ouf of the people’s earnings. When gov
eminent decides to spend more than it has
i thus received, that extra unearned money Is
[created out of thin air, through the banks
and, when spent, takes on value only by re
| ducing the value of all money, savings and in
*surance.
t 4. In our modern exchange economy, all
{payroll and employment come from custom
ers, and the only noteworthy job security is
security; if there are no custom
ers, there can be no payroll and no jobs.
- Customer security can be achieved by
j the worker only when the “boss” is allowed
to do the things that win and hold customers.
-Job security, therefore, is a partnership prob
• lem that can be solved only in a spirit of
mutual understanding.
6. Because wages are the principal cost
jof everything, widespread wage increases,
.without corresponding increases in produc
tion, simply increases the cost of everybody’s
iliving.
7. The greatest good for the greatest num
ber means, in its material sense, the greatest
goods for the greatest number, which in turn
means the greatest productivity per worker.
8. All productivity is based on three fac
tors: (a) natural resources whose form, place
and condition are changed by the expenditure
of (b) human energy (both muscular and
mental), with the aid of (c) tools.
9. Tools are the only one of these three
foctors that man can increase, and tools
m Jpme into being in a free society only when
there is a reward for the temporary self-de
nial that people must practice in order to
channel part of their earnings away from
purchases that produce immediate comfort
and pleasure, and into new tools of produc
tion. Proper payment for the use of tools is
essential to their creation.
. 10. The productivity of tools—that is, the
efficiency of the human energy applied in
connection with their use —is highest in a
competitive society in which the economic
decisions are made by millions of progress
seeking individuals, rather than a state-plan
ned society in which those decisions are made
by a handful of powerful people—regardless
qf how well-meaning, unselfish, sincere and
intelligent those people may be.

Maybe a person can be a little too care
ful.. For instance two young ladies from
Edenton recently spent a night in a hotel in
one of the larger North Carolina cities. Upon
retiring one of the ladies noticed that the
shade was. up a little. “Do you think any
body can look in?” one of them asked. The
other replied, “No, I don’t think so.” Where
upon the other one replied, “Well then raise
the shade higher so they can.”

Jack Habit is the editor of Edenton Ro
tary Echoes, weekly bulletin of the Edenton
Rotary Club, and last week started a new
feature “Who Is Her” Jack presents certain
facts about a member, from which the Ro
tarians are supposed to guess who the subject
js. Last week the age, height, weight, color
of eyes, how long he has been married, num
ber of children, pets, hobby and favorite pas
time were the clues. Most of the Rotarians
figured it was Elton Forehand, which it was.
They based their guess on the fact that color
of hair was not included in the clues—be
cause Elton has rio hair, especially on the top
of his head.

I’ve been eating at all of the restaurants
lately and at the Triangle the other day two
of the waitresses .made complimentary re
marks about my pipe. “What kind of to
bacco do you smoke, Mr. Bufflap?” one of
’em asked. I thought maybe she had a sam
ple of some kind of tobacco, but she said,
“Your pipe smells good even over at the other
side of the room.” Later another waitress
said, “That’s sure a good-smelling pipe.” Us
ually the remarks about my pipe are the
other way around. If their comments were
sincere I’ll love ’em, but if it was in a vein
of sarcasm—well, off goes their tips.

Well, the softball season is over and it’s
been a lot of fun, with the Varsity Club

should be the pesky mosquitoes. They’ve
been having a feast on the spectators and in
it least one instance the devilish things chas

ine that a lot of people keep clamoring for
the town to spriy for mosquitoes, while an

Shelton Moore is now sporting a swimming
pool it the Eden Motel and a pretty and
inviting thing it is. While looking at it the
other night Shelton invited me to get on my

engagement prevented me from accepting the

continues, I’m sure. going to accept his in
vitation. Incidentally, Shelton is also trying
to get Roy Leary to take a dip in the pool.
However, Roy says the moths have eaten
his swimming suit, so if he tries out the
pools, the lights will have to be turned out.
I think Shelton wants to take a picture of
one or two swimming in the pool (For ad
vertising purposes. Well, when Roy decides
to try out the pool. I’ll make it a point to
join him. With out “shapely” legs and “ath

tourists—away from the pool. And I un
derstand Mrs. Blanche Moore has been en
joying the pool, too. She dons an old dress
when splashing about in the water because
they haven’t made her style bathing suits
yet.- Anyway, the pool is a credit not only
to the motel, but Edenton as well, and here’s
hoping it will result in more customers stop

gallons of water and is up-to-date in every

I heard a couple fellows talking the oth

he recently _got so mad at his wife that he

can’t hit your wife and get away with it.
If you do anything, just kick her.”

Pasture Preparation Time Is
Here: Now is the time to begin
preparation for pasture seeding
this fall. This applies to re
seeding of old pastures as well
as seeding new pastures. The
first and a most important thing
to do is to take soil samples of
the pasture areas to be seeded or i
reseeded. It takes only about '
20 minutes to take a soil sample |
in a one to five acre area. The \
soil test report should come ■
back to you in about ten days. |
With your soil test report you'
will be able to determine how
much lime, if any, is .needed,
how much fertilizer and the i
analysis of fertilizer needed. To
get this information be sure to'
fill out a soil information sheet |
and mail along with your soil
sample.
Next, is the preparation of
land as soon as you get your
soil test report back. If the
area is weedy, mow it down, then
broadcast the lime and fertilizer
needed and all the disking and
plowing to get the land in order
for seeding will be working the
lime and fertilizer into the soil
where the roots can feed on it.
Fertilizer and lime sown on top
after the land is mostly pre
pared is far less effective as
compared with plowing and
disking it in during land pre
paration. Get your land all
ready for seeding by the first of
September. Get your seed and
inoculant for clover so you will ]
have that on hand ready. Then I
when a somewhat cloudy or
rainy period comes in early Sep
tember or during the first half I
of September, sow your seed j
and brush them in lightly. This
is far better than waiting until
late October and then asking
how late can I seed my pasture.
Peanut Drying Facility Tour:
Three of us boys from Chowan
County attended the peanut dry
ing facilities tour held in North
ampton County last Friday.
Combining peanuts and drying
them by forced air is absolutely
new to Chowan County where
there are no facilities as of this
date. It surely looks like a
coming practice for the whole
peanut area. I will give you
brief highlights of the tour.
Our first stop was at a farm
where the facility consists of ten
200-bag capacity bins. This fa
cility has been constructed by
four 'Conway area farmers who
are working cooperatively. The
facilities are sufficient to take
care of the harvesting by two
combines.
Our second stop was at a new
8-bin wooden building just com
pleted for operation this year.
This building has an air tunnel
through the center with four
drying bins on each side. When
operating at full capacity it will
be powered by two large fans

with heating units which will be
driving between 50,0000 and
60,000 cubic feet of air per
minute.
Our third stop was at a 4-bin
building. This is a one-man op
eration. The heating equipment
consists of one 28,000 cubic feet
| per minute fan with a heating
' unit. The owner, Raymond
I Davis, operates his combine,
I hauls his peanuts to his bins and ,
: conducts practically the whole
operation by himself. The four
; bins permit drying rotation suf
ficient to keep the combine in
continuous operation.
| The fourth stop was at a fa
cility which consisted of four
200-bag capacity metal bins with
I a dryer for each bin.
The fifth stop was at a facil
ity consisting of six 200-bag ca
pacity metal bins. This is an
other partnership operation.
Each bin had a good lighting
system and the facility was
equipped for automatic opera
tion.
The sixth stop was at a 5-bin
operation, each bin having a
capacity of 200 bags.
The seventh stop was at a
wagon dryer operation. Here j
the facility was set up so that I
the drying equipment was over
head. The facility was suffici
ent to take care of ten wagons.
The peanuts are being dryed in
the wagons as they come from
the field. The wagons are spe
j cially constructed with perfor
ated floors about 18 feet long
and approximately 7 or 8 feet
wide and about 4 feet high. The
j wagon is taken to the field
(where the peanuts are emptied
I into it from the combine. It is
pulled under the shed in proper
position, a canvas hood fits
down over the wagon and is fas
tened over by clamps on the
wagon and the warm air is driv
en through the peanuts from
above until cured. After curing,
the peanuts are taken on the
wagon to wherever they are
j marketed.
j The eighth and last stop was
! at a 4-bin facility, each bin hav
ing a capacity of 200 bags and
a centarl masonry duct used to
tunnel the air to the various
bins.
We certainly saw a variety of
Jtypes of facilities and sizes of fa
cilftiesr There was a variation
jin cost of construction and in
stallation. Everyone of the op
erators was quite enthused over
harvesting and drying peanuts
versus the old stacking and field
picking method and not a one
of them reported having any
trouble getting buyers to pur
chase and pay top market price
for their peanuts.
I want to thank County Agent
Brodie Harrell for letting us
barge in on his tour and the
Virginia Electric & Power Com-
pany for the barbecue dinner!
they served us on the tour.
