l&HINflitl Washington, April 12. ? Almost every move that is made in Con gress, practically every action or utterance of the President or any member of the Administration, is carefully calculated in .the light of its possible effect on the Presiden tial campaign of 1940. Washington lives politics, thinks politics and plays politics all the time, but with the next Presiden tial campaign less than a year and a half ahead, the political activities at both ends of Pennsylvania Ave nue are becoming more and more sharply focusged <on the question of who will be tTie next President' of the United States. There is more political experi ence and wisdom concentrated in Washington than in any other spot in the world. It is not ail confined to politicians, ".either. The soundest political judgment on national political issues is that of the five hundred or more special correspondents of the important newspapers and press associations whose chief job is telling the folks back home what is going on here, and why. Most" of these correspondents were political reporters in their borne cities and states before they came here; many were managing editors of Important daily papers. They know politics and political personalities from the ground up, and an honest cross-section of th'eiropinlons is the best possible guide to the probable future course of political events. Your correspondent has lately sounded out a hundred or so of the most experienced and least partis an of the corps of correspondents as to who will be the Presidential nominee of the two great parties, so far as present conditions give indications. Pon't Export Third Term There is practical unanimity that President Roosevelt's chance of being renominated by the Dem ocrats is growing less. Nobody can be sure that he wants or expects to' run for a third term. If he does, and can get the nomination, the best opinion is that he can be re elected. The bit'.' rest inter-party strug s":e in recent politic' JHstory ia -olng on. more or le.-s behind closed doois. to prevent Mr. Roose velt's rcnominatioii, by building up I he candidaey of Vlre-Preaideiil earner. : There are a dozi n receptive per sonalities around whom the begin TiTngs of an organization are being set up; but the combined judg ment of the Washington observ ers who know their way ab<^ut is that all of those movements will 1 fall to the ground when the Dem ocratic National Convention meets and it is demonstrated that "{'actus Jack" Garner has a block of delegates pledged to him large enough, if not to nominate him self, at least to prevent the nom ination of anyone whom he does not endorse. me Garner boom has come out' into the open with the passing of h resolution indorsing him for President, by the Texas legislature. Mr. Garner modestly retired from the presiding officer's chair In the Senate when the Texas resolution was being read, but there is no doubt that it was highly pleasing to him. Also pleasing to the bushy-eye browed V.ice-Hresident was the re < ent exchange of letters between the President's soh, Elliot, and his brother-in-law, John Boettiger. El liot Roosevelt, who is now a citi zen of Texas, came out in en thusiastic terms in favor of Mr. (Jarner as his father's successor, while Mr. Boettiger thought his father-in-law ought' to run again. May Choose Candidate Underlying all the talk about the Garner boom, which seems to be growing rapidly all over the nation, runs a question whether the 70-year-old Texan really wants to run for President himself or to hand his delegates over to the can didate of his choice. There is still a strong belief that Mr. Garner's real candidate is not himself but Senator Bennett Champ Clark of Missouri. But there is a definite conviction that' he Is bent on preventing Mr. Roo sevelt's renomination. or the nom ination of any candidate picked by the President, at whatever cost. The concensus of opinion among the experienced political observers here as to the Republican Presi dential possibilities Is that, as thiags stand now, that party's best bet Is District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey of New York. That opinion Is based upon Mr. Dewey's record, rather than upon his personality. He has never been in Washington enough to make the personal contacts which en able the correspondents to site up a man's personality and character. Taft Htanih Oat Among the Republicans who are personally known In Washington the belief here is that Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio stands out M having a good chanco for the 1940 Presidential nomination. Mr. Taft knows politics thoroughly. He lived In the White Homo when his iRther was President and served twelve years In tlie Ohio Legisla ture, two years as speaker of the lower house. Since coming here he has ,tUA" < losed himself as a forceful. In cisive speaker with a keen though not boisterous sense of humor, and with an outlook on public questions much more liberal than t'hat of many other members of ' his party. Circumstances may change the whole outlook, but that is how the ! Presidential situation for 19401 looks today. The important thing to remember is that> every action or utterance by any man in public office, from now until the Sum mer of 1940. must be regarded in the light of its possible or intended 1 effect upon the next year's presi- 1 dential campaign. ? FRANKLIN COUNTY ? ? FARM ITISMS * ? By County Furiii Agents *. **???*??*?? Mr. C. L. Sams, Extension Speci- , alist in Beekeeping from State , College, spent one day in Franklin County during which we visited and observed the progress being] made by three Demonstrators in Franklin County. It was found that one colony of bees had died. ' possibly from loss of Queen, on each of the Demonstrators' farms. : Also, that the Wax Moth had de- ' stroyed the honey left and the j foundations of the destroyed colony. These farmers were in- I structed on the use of Paradich- l lorjjbenzene to control and prev-l ent damage of the Wax Moth, and a bulletin on "The Control of t-he Wax Moth." was given each grow er. Mr. A. C. Gray, Louisbnrg, N. C. No. 2. Mr. Walter Pleasant, Louisbuvg, N. C. No. 2 and Mr. Joe B. Burnette, Louisourg, N. C. No. 3 are cooperating in Beekeeping Demonstrations. Mr. Blair Tucker of Louisbnrg, N. C\, is cooperating through li is gin with this Office and the farm ers of Franklin County to assist' in eliminating poor stands of cotton caused by damping off. We as- j sisted Mr. Tucker in purchasing a Coker Cotton Seed Treater and with this machine he has treated today 3,500 bushels of cotton seed. Mr. Tucker is treating cotton seed for fanners at 15c per bushel, which is slightly more than lc a bushel the farmer will have to pay, as Ceresan is retailing for 70c a pound and will treat only 5 1-3 bushels. FALLING For the MUrd consecutive month the level of local market prices for farm products decreased in March, with the result thai the index of the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics has touched the lowest': point since July, 1934. I'M GIAD YOU CHANGED | TO CAMELS I SURE LEARNED A LOT WHEN I (EGAN TO ^ LET UP? LIGHT UP ? A CAMEL iJCOS 0 ? ? ?

HOLMES. R. D. 1. LaGrange, say?: "I found out how extra potash improves the quality of tobacco by side-dressing with 100 pounds of V SULPHATE OF POTASH at the first working. The NV SULPHATE OF POTASH kept the to bacco from having so many chaffy leaves." L CALVIN AYERS R D. 2. Wiincnnston. says: "We farmers have neglected quality In favor of quantity In growing tobacco. For the lad five years I have side-dressed my tobacco with 75 to 100 pounds of NV SULPHATE OF POTASH. This has given me better-quality tobacco. Despite adverse weather conditions in 1938. 9 9/10 acres returned S2.735.00 or $277.00 per acre. Beside? side-dressing with NV SULPHATE OF POTASH, I used 6% POTASH fertilixer under my tobacco." H. J. PHILLIPS. R. D. 1. Warsaw, says: "For several years I have side-dret>sed my Tobacco with 100 pounds oi NV SULPHATE OF POT ASH per acre. This gave me better quality and increased yields. In 1337 I had more than 30 acres in tobacco, operating six barns. I certainly could tell the difference in the s.uperior quality of the tobacco side-dressed with NV SULPHATE OF POTASH. This year of all yeare quality is of utmost importance. That's why I am side-dressing my whole crop with NV SULPHATE OF POTASH." J. B. AYCOCIC. Fremont (right). 107s: "Side dressing tobacco with 50 pounds of NV SULPHATE OF POTASH acd 50 pounds of NV SULPHATE OF POTASH MAG NESIA has givsxi us bigger yields of better quality!' H. W. BAKER. H. D. 1. Deep Run (below), say*: "I used I.000 pound* oi tobacco fertiliser containing 5% . POTASH and side-drcssed with 100 pounds oi NV { SULPHATE OF POTASH- i MAGNESIA per acre. Thus J I applied to my soil about as much potash a* my to bacco crop removed. Extra potash gave me better quality and bigger yields." OTIS GRAY. B. D. 2. Snow Hill (Mow), says: "I tested extra potash on my lotacco thu year -side-dressing hall my crop with 7S pounds ol NV SULPHATE OF POTASH per acre. With the extra NV SULPHATE OF POTASH, the tobacco had body and weight It was softer, more mellow and oily. I will use NV SULPHATE OF POTASH again this year." ? i i 1 ?? n B. F. CORE, R. D. 3, Clinton, %ajl: "I tostod NV SULPHATE OF POTASH on my tobacco last year, buying 200 pounds for two acres. The big difference in quality and yield de cided me to side-dress my crop this yoar. The side-dressed tobacco ripens better, has more weight and better-quality leaves." J . TO DAT /"'A Th? Tobacco Research fff-1 IVJDMV.LVJ Committee recommends side-dressing tobacco with potash, equal to 100 to 200 pounds of SULPHATE of POTASH per acre, within 20 days after transplanting. The Committee states: "Ex periments indicate that the acre value of tobacco mcry be materially increased by additional potash." jo* The North Carolina Experi ? ? *' ? " ment Station recommends side-dressing cotton with 50 to 100 pounds of MURI ATE of POTASH, or 125 to 250 pounds of KAINTT per acre, on fields which have shown heavy Rust damage in the past and where the complete fertilizer treatment contains only 3% POTASH.
