CASTING AND BROADCASTING.
"Constructive economy" has
won another victory of the Pyrrhic
variety, this time at Paul Smith's,
whence it is broadcast that Presi
dent Coolidge ruthlessly blne-pon
ciled $100,000,000 of estimates for
the next session" of the Congress
submitted to hira by General Her
bert, M. Lord, director of the bud
get. x
'The General made a special hot
werther march from Washington
to the President's tummer camp
to participate in the parade that
attended the victory. So one
reads in the bigheadliness "Cool
idgo Slashes $100,000,000."
But lower down is one of those
tell-tale truths that have a way of
slipping in, to-wit: Notwith
standing the cut, the lA2B budget
is $55,000,000 greater than the
last one.
That "constructive economy"
fish gets bigger and bigger all the
time.
''He feels," reads one of the ac
counts of the President's terrific
battle to land economy at Paul
Smith's, "that if the Federal gov
ernment follows constructive e
conomy policies it will furnish an
example to the cities and states
♦and that they will reduce their
present heavy taxes."
For example, as set in the Dis
trict of Columbia, governed by
appointees of the President: Ap
propriations for the District were
•33,918,571 by the recent session,
an increase q* more than $2,000,-
000 over the last preceding and
now the budget estimates would
push the amount up to aboiit $39,-
000,000, and the tax rate would
go up, too.
Appropriations bv the last ses
sion of the Congress wero $470,-
886,681 greater than by the ses
sion just preceding, the increase
alone being greater than the total
cost of the Federal government
thirty years ago. The total was
$4,409,377,454, as shown by tables
inserted in the Congressional Rec
ord by Republican leaders, in the
last session, and it would have
been still greater had the Presi
deut's recommendations „ been
carried out by the Congress.
The enormous appropriations
of the last session are now to be
overtopped by $55,000,000.
First the bait was "adminis
trative economy;" Appropria
tions kept on growing. %The bait
then changed to "constructive
economy." "Constructive" is a
very wiggly worm that takes
many shapes and colors.
If casting at Paul Smith's prom
ises to continue good, General
Lord, director of the budget, may
well march again up the Adiron
dacks with new and enlarged es
timates, get a Presidential "con
structive" slash Of $200,000,000
for ♦he headlines and an actual
net increase of. $110,000,000 in
the popular burden over the last
budget.
What price, "constructive
economy?"
Using magnesium limestone
and a winter cover crop in the
peach orchard should help pre
vent winter-killing this season
and make the trees more healthy
and vigorous next spring.
Abruzzi rye is superior of Rosen
or common rye for North Caro
lina. The Abruzzi variety ma
tures earlier, provides better
grazing and makes more growth
than any other varieties.
Demonstrations in Richmond
County with wilt resistant cottons
and oowpeas prove it to be possi
ble to grow these crops on land
which formerly would not pro
dace a crop.
Some of the best poultry far
mers in North Carolina will cull
their flocks in early September
«nd sell the non-layers at the
-poultry car.
Three cars of lime have been
ordered cooperatively by farmers
Henderson county.
Prepares For Dairying
Before Buying Cows
I '. *y 1 *** ■
Noland Wells of Murphy in j
Cherokee county has prepared for \
dairying before buying lira cows. !
He has constructed his cage bo
fore catching liis bird because he
believes that preparedness is a
go6d policy for going iiito Special
lines of farming.
"Mr. Wells recently came into
possession of an abandoned farm
on which the soil was vtry poor,"
says S. J. Kirby, extension pas
ture specialist at State College.
"Following the advice of his
county ageutj R. W. Gray, Mr.
Wells set about to reclaim the
farm, to increase the fertility of
the soil and to get ready for the
dairy business. He cut the uscrb
by trees, the shrubs and briars.
He filled up the gullies and plant
ed part of the land to soil improv
ing crops. Soybeans and cow
peas were used as an important
part of this program."
Mr. Kirby states that there are
now ten on the l'arm in
meadow grasses and clovers, 15
acres are in permanent pastures,
one-half acre in stock bents and
the remainder of tlin 7'5 acres of
cleared land is planted to corn
and soybeans, oats, rye and
wheat followed by soybeans for
hay. The pasture is reported to
to be one of.the best in the sec
tion. It has a good variety of
graf-ses and clovers growing, on
land treated with ground lime
stone and acid phosphate before
the crops were planted. All the
poorer spots were covered with
barnyard manure and the pasture
is now "grazed by a family cow
with the weeds mowed periodical
ly to keep it in condition.
Tons of hay have been harvest
ed from the meadow land and the
barn is full to overflowing with
several stacks nearby. The boets
are ready for the winter and
paospects are good for a heavy
corn crop.
Tho next Step planned by Mr.
Wells and county Agent Gray is
to buy 10 or 12 high producing
cows to consume the hay and
grain and to gr»z« the pasture.
Mr., Gray states that most farmers
go into the dairy busiuess unpre
pared and therefore lose money
but here is one man who is ready
to produce butterfat at a profit.

Even if the money were available, and the public willing
to pay the increased freight and passenger rates neces
sary to provide a fair return on it, many years wouldibe
required to do the work.
Protection from the peril for the present generation at
least must be found in some other way. Trains cannot
stop at every crossing if they are to be run at the sus
tained speed expected by the public and required to carry
the commerce of the country. The train crosses a high
way about every mile. The motorist encounters a rail
road only occasionally.
It is necessary, therefore, for the automobile driver to
stop in order to avoid risk. No one who did this was
ever killed.
Sit is better to save a life than to save a minute.

Thought in Inaecta
Among the higher Invertebrates—
the ants, bees, wasps and other so
cial Insects—there Is a complex be
havior which has been interpreted by
some to imply a consciousness com
parable with that of man. Others
have emphasized the instinctive char
acter of the activities of these anl
,mals and have been content to con
sider the higher inserts as mere au
tomata. The Insects represent a line
of evolution that has culminated in
man, and It Is difficult to compare the
insect mind with human conscious
ness. Esther the performances of bete
and ants are largely reflex qr must be
"attributed to a very complex affective
consciousness.
