DO NO DISCRIM
INATE
Senator Bailey writes Secretary
Wallace in behalf of fair play for
farmers:
October 12, 1939.
Hon. Henry A. Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. Secretary;:'
Now that the referendum has
been settled in favor of tobacco
crop control, I wish to join with
those who are urging you to see
to it that all tobacco growers
shall be eligible to vote in the se
lection of Committees. I do not
think this request can be refused. |
The right of a grower was in 110
way impaired by his vote in the
control election.
I wish also to urge that reas
onable opportunity be given for
representation on Committees of
those who did not vote for con
trol. Their qualifications are not
affected by the way they voted,
and it would be undemocratic to
consider that they were adversely
affected.
' Prior to the control election,
you issued a plan making better
provisions than have heretofore
been made for the smaller farm
ers. Now, that we are coming in
to the application of the plan, 1
wish to urge that every care be
taken with a view, first, to en
abling the small farmers to have
acreage allotments sufficient to
justify them in the cultivation of
their crops, and second, tending
to be sufficient to contribute rea
sonably to their livelihood. I be
lieve you will agree with me that
the fundamental solution of the
farm problem must look to the
welfare of what we describe as
the family size farm, ? that is, the
farm that is directly related to the
support of a family. When we
come to consider our problems,
all of us must realize that the
human race lives in families and
the general welfare looks even
more to the welfare of a family
than it does to the welfare of an
individual and all the sources of
cultivation lie in families and
family life.
With all good wishes.
Very truly yours,
JOSIAH W. BAILEY. i
DUKE'S CELEBRATE GOLDEN
WEDDING
Mr. and Mrs. J. Walter Duke
celebrated their Golden Wedding
anniversary October g at their
home near Areola.
Mr. Duke, age 79, is the young
est child of M. C. Duke, deceased,
and the only living member of his
generation of this family ? one of
Warren's oldest, having settled in
this section when Warren was a
part of old Bute County.
Mrs. Duke was Annie Willis 1
Tharrington whose parents resid
ed in Franklin *County before |
moving to Warren more ?han 50 i
years ago. B
Dinner was served from tables !
under the lovely oaks. Mr. Duke
offered thanks and in a heauti- 1
fully worded prayer invoked j
God's continued blessings upon
the family, and prayed that all
might dwell together in unity and
peace. The table centerpiece was
a lovely boquet of dahiias. pre
sented by Mrs. Maud Pleasants,
of Louisburg. The cnotainer
aroused interest and comment. It
was China with British trade
mark and has been handed down
through bride's family from the
early 18 century or earlier.
The invitations issued for the
wedding 50 years ago were of in
terest, reading:

ROADS FORM BASIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM? Merchandise or people
moved by rail, plane or boat moat move over the highways before arriving al
the final destination. All transportation systems depend upon highways to giv?
completed service. Besides aoting as a feeder to other facilities, highway trans
portation affords a convenient and economical service comolete in itself.
Catch In Plan
There is one big catch in the
cash-and-carry plan which would i
forbid American ships to trans
port cargoes to belligerents. And i
no one seems yet to have figured
out a way to solve the problem *
presented, and at the same time
safeguard our neutrality from
being imperiled by uutoward "in
cidents."
That catch lies in the fact that
if cash-and-carry is imposed, Am
erican ships can no longer go U*
Australia, Canada, New Zealand,
the British West Indies ? in brief,
any number of countries near or
within this hemisphere. These
countries are part of the allied
empires. They are formally at
war with Germany. German U
boats would be perfectly justified
in capturing or sinking ships
trading with them. And, if that
trade is stopped, the Amer'
shut up shop and call it' a day.
Most of the major ports would be
closed to our vessels.
On top of that, American citi
zens would no longer be able to
go to Montreal, Sydney or Ber
muda. for^nstance, save at their
own risk. Bombs haven't yet fall
en on such places ? but they are
possible targets of war, and are
on a war footing.
Sentiment at this writing seems
merchant marine might as
to favor sacrificing our shipping
if that is necessary to keep out
of the war. Perhaps in the future
some system will Jbe worked out
whereby we will be able to carry
on trade on a nipie or less normal
basis with colonies of belliger
ents, but at> the moment the out
look for our merchant marine
doesn't seem bright.

START PLANNING
FOR 1940 NOW
T IS not too early to be making
plana for more profit from your
crops next year. Start now. while this
year's results are still fresh in your
mind, to provide for the use of plenty
of potash to insure greater yields and
quality in 1940. Rusted cotton, low
yields and poor quality of tobacco, com. vegetable,
fruit, and legume cropu result if the soil and fertiliser
do not supply enough potash. Wherever legumes are
grown, more potash is needed because of the large
amounts removed by these crops and to balance the
nitrogen and organic matter supplied when legume
crops are turned under.
Talk over with your county agent or experiment
*
station your yields this year as compared with what
you can expect from your soil if given the right amount
of the right fertiliser. Ask your fertiliser dealer or
manufacturer about fertilisers high in potash. Yo?
will bo surprised
how littl* ?xtra it
costs to applr
?oough potash for
tho crops which
you will plant amd
spring.

Questions
Answered at State College
QUESTION': What is ? Kood
at ion to feed turkeys in prepar
n? them for market?
ANSWER: A semi-complete'
[rowing mash, which musX be
upplemented with scratch grain
md green feed, may be mixed as
ollows: ground yellow corn, 30
lounds; wheat middlings. 15!
lounds; alfalfa leaf meal, 7
lounds; wheat bran, 10 pounds;
lulverized oats. 15 pounds; meat
icrap (50 per cent protein), 12 1
rounds; dried milk, 10 pounds;
ind salt, 1 pound. There are a
lumber of substitutions that can
be made when the price of any
jne ingredient gets out of line
with othei- ingredients of the
lame feeding value.
QUESTION: Will farmers vote
in quotas for tlieir 1?40 cotton
?rop this year?
ANSWER: E. Y..Eloyc|,v4AA
;xecutive officer at Stale College,
lays a referendum on cotton mar
keting quotas for the 1940 crop,
ilmilar to those which have been
n effect for the past two years,
will be hpid December 9. Two
thirds of' those voting will have
to approve the quotas if they are
;o go into effect next year. " Far
mers who plant within their acre
ige allotment will be able to mar
ket all of the' cotton they produce
>n their allotted acreage without
penalty.
QUESTION : How would you
reed ilairy cows during tlic win
ter?
ANSWER: Successful winter
feeding means imitating early
summer conditions as nearly as
possible. The dairy cow is by na
ture a roughage-consuming ani
mal and never does her best ex
cept when supplied an abundance
of roughage. In winter this rough
age should be a legume hay_and
a succulent feed, such as silage.
The better the quality of this hay
and succulent feed, the more of
the required' nutrients will be re
ceived from this source and the
smaller the amount of grain that
will be needed.
A man can never thrive who
has a wasteful wife.
Approximately 160 land own
ers la Lincoln County have earn
ed a part of their soil building
payment through terracing, re
ports George Hobson, assistant
farm agent of the State College
Extension Service.
Stanly County farmers realize
that the new milk plant about to
be opened in Albemarle will of
fer a stable source of income
throughout the year, says Farm
Agent J. E. Wilson.
In Hyde County, N. C., farm
land is measured in hills of corn
instead of acres. Roughly an acre
is equal to 275Q hills of corn.
