1 HE GLEANER GRAHAM. N. 0., MAK. 27. 19,50. 1881'KD KVEKY THUR8IMY. J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Entered at tbe Posfofflce at Graham. N. C.. HB secoau-olaM matter. TO TALK TAXES. Resulting from a movement start ed in Ashevlle some weeks ago, a meeting will be held in Raleigh Nov. 1 and Apr 1, to consider taxi burden. It appears that a large number of counties are to be rep resented. Of course there will be much speaking and resolving, but that alone will not effect anything in the way of lightening the bur den. Almost everybody who owns any property is feeling the tax burden ?some more than others. There is a place to start for the reduction of taxes. That place isj the home county by economizing! in expenditures. Until more econ-| omy is exercised in spending, there can be no reduction in taxes. In the individual home there could be exercised more economy. And that done, one could preach economy with an increased degree of sincerity. Ever since the World War, there has been a frenzy of spending that has as yet shown no signs of a| "let up." Inflated prices set the ball in motion, but though many of the prices have been deflated, the spending frenzy hangs on. Good roads have been built; school houses, splendid ones, have been built. Both are evidences of progress in the right derection, and neither can be, nor should be stop ped. They are as necessary as food and raiment, if civilization is to go forward. It would be a sorry get-along without these. We have no remedy to offer, un less it is Gov. Gardner's live-at home program. The Governor must have forseen the things that are agitating the Ashevllle peor'e, and is felt through-out the sto e, and been thereby prompted to launch his program, the gist of which is produce at home the things need ed at home and keep at home the money that flows to other sections. It is hoped some workable plan will be evolved that can be put into practical operation. If so, the meet ing will not have been in vain. Tobacco sales by producers iD North Carolina (or season just closed amounted to 188,OSS,204, which is $2,328,192 less than for the 1928-29 season. The total sales by producers was 48l,45u,G-r>0 or more than two and ouo-half million pounds less than for the previous season. The indications are that the crop will be material ly increased for this year, whereas it should be materially reduced, and more time given to the pro duction of things used on the farm. It this were done, the cash re ceipts would be lessened little or none and the extra labor would go a long way toward providing the necessary food and feed to be used on the farm. Tbere is some controversy about the arrangement of ballots for the primary election. Attorn ey General Dennis G. lirummitt has ruled that candidates for county offices will go one ballot and that candidates for United States offices will be voted on one or three ballots fh the discretion of the State Board of Elections. Ed want L. Doheny, on trial for giving Albert U. Fall, a former Secretary of the Interior, a t'.OO, 000 bribe for the lease of certain Government oil reserves, was ac quitted in Washington last Satur day. Fall was convicted of taking the bribe and sent to prison. That is what might be termed a legal paradox. It is hard to con vict a million dollars. Chattel Mortgage Blanks?For sale at Thc Glraneb office. K ? > ? a. - ?. . \ AW. r The State department of HL'ri-' culture in submitting its report: on production and sales of tobac co for the 1929-30 season says: "There is a decided overproduc tion of peanuts, cotton and tobac co. There is an underproduction of feeds, small grains and tnos locally marketed vegetables and fruits. We are almost at the fo >t of the line in rank of the states; growing livestock. Our soils are sick unto emaciation from the: lack of organic matter and deep preparation. Our homes an- in poverty conditions, due primarily to the dependence on c ish crops " Some more talk In Washington lately about starting the building program in order to relieve the un employment situation. It has been / ^ almost a year since Mr. Hoover in cubated the plan and nothing do ing yet. There are plenty of pla'es all over the country where Federal buildings could be placed for a per manent home for Uncle. Sam's bus iness. Many towns like Graham and Mebane in this county would not object to having a nice post office building. Let's hope some thing tangible will be done. - ? Judge John J. Parker, U. S. Cir cuit Judge, was named last Saturday by President Hoover to fill the va cancy on the United States Su preme Court bench, caused by the sudden death of Justice Sanford. Sanford was of Tennessee, and it is fitting that a southern man should succeed him. It was being felt and expressed that North Carolina would go unrecognized. There can scarcely be any question about Judge Parker's confirmation. Re gardless of party affiliation, North Carolinians are gratified at Judge Parker's appointment. Both Sena tors endorsed Parker. Judge Par ker Is a young man, still in his forties, and will have time and op portunity to gather strength. Roads For Farmers The lack of good local or rural i roads Is shown In an editorial that 'appeared In the March, 15, 1930, ls ' sue of the "Southern Planter." This editorial shows that only 80,640 J miles of the 2,709,839 miles of local I roads may be slassed as "hard" or "permanent." The Southern Plant er urges that the federal govern ment build the main highways and the money from the states be used for the construction of secondary or farm-to-market roads. The edi torial In full follows: It may be truthfully said that the farmer is in the mud knee deep and hub low. Of 2,709,839 miles of local roads In the United States In 1928?the roads on which most of the farms are located?only 432, 909 miles are surfaced. Of this lat ter mileage, sand-clay and top soil make up the surface of 74,562 miles and treated and untreated gravel, chert, etc, make up the surface on 277,797 miles. These farm-to-mark et roads. In other words, can boast of only 80,640 miles of surface that may be classed as hard or perman ent, and of this mileage 48,454 is water bound macadam. In the Southern Planter territory the percentage of the mileage of lo cal roads that are hard surfaced, including treated and untreated gravel, chert, etc. , and water-bound macadam: bituminous macadam by penetration, sheet asphalt, bitu minous concrete, Portland cement concrete, vitrified brick and stone are as follows: Maryland. 22 per cent; Kentucky, 22 per cent; Ten nsee, 15 per cent; Deleware, 13 per ,rent; North Carolina, 6 per cent; Virginia. 6 per cent; West Virgin ia. 5 per cent and South Carolina 1 per cent, purely the farmers are still in the mud. The time is here when the farm-to-market roads should be given more consideration. In 1919, Hon. Westmoreland Davis in a message to the General As sembly of Virginia, stated, "A sys tem of postal and military roads should be built by the federal gov ernment . These are necessary to the mobile action of armies in war and essential to the happiness and prosperity of our people in peace." The federal government should build the great highways from city to city. Money should be appro priated for this purpose. The rev enues of the states for road con struction and maintenance should be used solely for providing feeder or farm-to-highway roads. The constitution of the United States contemplated the building of post roads by the federal govern TIME TO PLANT THE EARLY GARDEN PLOT Down In the coastal plain, the first of the tender garden crops may be planted with safety during the period from April 1 to 10; in the piedmont from April 10 to 25, and -in the m "tuvaln area from April 25 to May 10. "Some of the crops that we can get ready to plant are snap beans, early sweet corn, cucumbers, egg plant, okra, melons, peppers, sweet potatoes, squash and tomatoes," says E. B. Morrow, extension hor ticulturist at State College. By all means have plenty of snap beans. Good varieties are Black Valentine, Stringless Green Pod, and Bounti ful. Among the lima beans, Hen derson's Bush and Fordhook are good varieties. Every garden should have some early sweet corn. A few of our garden demonstrators report good" yields from the Early Market, Burpee and Golden Sunshine var ieties." For cucumbers, Mr. Morrow rec ommends Snow's Pickle and Chi cago Pickling. The White Spine and Early Fortune are two varie ties good for slicing. Then with the egg plant, the seed many be started in a protected bed and the plants set in the open as soon as it is warm enough. Okra is a favo rite in most North Carolina gard ens and may be cultivated like cot ton. Ti. 'on patch is a delight in this stu 'd early planting is recommendec ? fore the pickle worm gets active with the canta loupes. Good cantaioupe varieties are Kleckley Sweet, Thurmond Gray and Stone Mountain. Set the peppers about the same time as the tomatoes and give the same cultivation. The summer crook neck and white bash varieties of squash are best for this state. The plants for early crop of sweet po tatoes should also be set in April, advises Mr. Morrow. GIVES SIMPLE RULES FOR RAISING HEALTHY CHICKS The essentials in growing healthy chicks may be Included In clean eggs, clean incubators, disease-free stock, clean brooder houses, fresh ranges, clean litter, clean feed and clean management. "Right now is the busy season with the Carolina poultryman," says C. F. Parrish, extension poul try specialist at State College. "Profits for next year are based on what is done this spring, and the very first essential in producing healthy chicks is to have clean eggs. If there is danger of the shell be ing contaminated with some dis ease, treat it with a mercury solu tion for five minutes before plac ing it in the incubator." Clean eggs then should be placed in clean incubators. This ma chine needs to be disinfected lvith full strength formalin and the nurs ery and egg trays scrubbed with bichloride of mercury before the eggs are added. Then, the eggs should, by all means, come from strong, disease-free stock. Mr. Par rish urges growers to insist on the North Carolina accredited eggs. They are free of the dread bacil lary white diarrhea which is one of the poultry diseases known to be transmitted from hens to chicks through the egg. Clean brooder houses are also im portant. Scrub them with a strong lye solution and move to new ground where chicks have not been reared. Also clean all of the equip ment used in the house. Where poultry is kept as a side line on the farm it is a good idea to make all the brooder houses portable. It is also advisable to anticipate the fresh range and plant it in al falfa, clover, rye, wheat, barley or rape to supply green feed. Clean fresh straw and shavings are best for litter in the brooder house and the right amount of feed should be given in containers that cannot be fouled by the chicks | says Mr. Parrish. mcnt for It contains this significant statement: "Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, du ties. Imposts and excises,?to estab lish post offices and post roads." When the government authorizes the Intent and purpose is to place responsibility. There are 1.329.972 miles of rural mall routes and 207, 387 miles of star mall routes in the ; United States as of November 1, 1929. | Those who would aid the larm iers In fact and not with political gestures and memorials to Congress should set themselves by provid ing roads?not paper roads as a "sop for the countryman," but real roads usable during the winter as well as during the summer time. The i construction and maintenance of ' permanent roads Is "fraught with the happiness and prosperity of our j people." Did You Ever Stop To Think (Copyright 1938) ByEdison B.Wate.Shawuee, Ok Glenn K. Stimson, Editor of the Lansing (Mich.) State Journal, says: That moving day, as a solution for human problems, is a thing of the past. Prom now on, people who do not like the conditions of' their environment will have to stay and raise moral exclusiveness in place of material separation. "The Lord said unto Abraham, "Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land I will sjiow thee.'" Abraham did as com manded and found a place where he and his race could work out their salvation, apart from old influ ences. "The experience of Abraham and his kindred have been repeated ra cially many times. Morals and the problem of sanitation were met by picking up and moving. In more recent times the Pilgrims went first to Holland and then to America to find conditions where they might bring up their children under in fluences of their own creation. And the westward move of the Pilgrims was not the last move of the kind either. "Westward the star of empire takes its way" was said almost within our own generation. The old spirit of racial moving peopled and settled the west. Up until now there has been some vacant place to which peo ple might immigrate with view of getting an environment of their own liking. But from this time on, no considerable band will find it possible to emulate the Pilgrims. Perhaps there are "wide open spaces" still existing in Africa, but who can go there and be separate from the life left behind? It would I be only a matter of days before the new colony would be in radio con tact with the Paris fashion notes, the New York stock exchange and the seat of the religio-scientific bat tle. Prom this time on, whoever de sires to live on a new frontier will have to raise their own barrier or moral separation. It will be quite a triumph if it can be done. The Senate passed the tariff bill Monday. Now it goes back to the House for another work-over. It originated in theHouse and was passed by that body several months ago. Both white and colored farmers in Scotland county are responding to the garden campaign and are planning new gardens for this year. The Farmers Club of Bladen Co. is sponsoring a series of night meet ings this spring to study farm man agement subjects. Notice of Sale!
