EDITORIAL COMMENT
Consider County First
Some apparent personal feel
ings between our representa
tives In the General Assembly
and the County Register of Deeds
has gotten to the point where it
appears our able representative
is letting It affect his better
Judgment.
Evidence of this appears in a
bill introduced in the General
Assembly last week fixing the
pay of certain county officials,
but specifically omitting Regis
ter of Deeds office personnel.
The Register of Deedg office
Is an important and vital county
agency, operated by tax monies,
and any action on the part of any
one that impairs the operation
of this office adversely affects
all the people of Franklin Coun
ty.
We hope that our representa
tives will take this into consi
deration when the Senate Com
mittee Substitute bill, introduc
ed by Senator* Jolly, comes up
for consideration in the House,
and put any personal differences
aside in the best interests of the
County as a whole.
Vacation Walking
This Is the time of year moat
of us are thinking of a vacation.
The average person's idea of a
vacation with family is to g<2t
away from routine work and life
to a change of pace, a rest.
Interestingly, this rest is often
equated with doing nothing. In
other words, many of us think
of such a rest as lying in bed,
sleeping long hours and taking
little physical exercise.
Yet the experts advise us to
get some exercise. For most
people, a better vacation, a bet
ter rest, would result from the
Inclusion of reasonable physical
exertion on vacation, Americans
often swim, if they go to lake or
beach. But many get very little
real exercise on their vaca.lon.
One of the finest forms recom
mended is simple enough - walk
ing. In Europe people plan and
anticipate walking vacations with
great care. Somehow in the
United States, where Just about
everyone rides Just about every
where in an automobile this is
not so much the fashion.
Yet in the Black Forest of
Germany, In Austria, Switzer
land and northern Italy, there

are countless vacation spots
which owe their famfe to one
thing alone - hiking and walking
trails, and the beautiful scenery
to be found in following them.
They are marked, numbered
and widely used in Europe. There
are brochures telling Just where
each path leads, what will be
seen during the course of the
hike and the points of historical
interest. There is a table giving
the average time required for
the different trails.
Some require all day and the
camper or hiker takes his lunch
with him in a pack. But the
principle idea of the vacationer,
who comes to such an area, is
that he will hike somewhere
every day, rain or shine. He will
have a fine pair of walking
shoes, proper rain protection,
and mess and emergency gear.
And he will come back from his
week or two weeks, a refreshed
person.

A Growing Concern

Wheat Control Defeat Setback
The Franklin Times
Washington Bureau
130 Third St., SE
Washington 3, D.C.
By Wes Hayden
Washington - One of the hall
marks of this Congressional
session thus far has been its
dilatory pace and its seemlnt
reluctance to come to grip:
1 with key sections of the Ad
ministration's legislative pro
gram. ?
How much of this trend may
be properly attributed to rank
and file of Capitol Hill law
makers and to what extent the
seeming procrastination Is a
deliberate strategy on the part
of Democratic leadership Is at
the moment not completely
clear.
It could quite possibly be a
combination of those two fac
tors.
There Is reason to think, for
Instance, that party pollcy
?niers may be qwlte willing
to see some of the more con
troversial proposals such as
medical care under social Se
curity carried over to the 1964
session as campaign Issues In
next year's elections.
On the other hand the slow
down - deliberate or not -
may have already exacted Its
toll as a factor In what now
presents Itself as tfee severest
setback for President Kennedy
thus far In 4he session.
That, -of course, would be
defeat of wheat controls In the
May 21 referendum by a margin
heavier than anyone would have
dared speculate In advance of
the balloting.
The legislation designed to un
derglrd the controls program
for next year cleared Capitol
Hill only a few days before the
reierenaum aate ana was sign
ed at the White' (teu se almost
literally on thieve of the vote.
If that schedule was supposed
to have been a spur of the con
trols by coming to a climax at
the time It did It was a mis
calculation.
Foes of the *heat controls
snatched upon It as the basis
for a " railroading" charge and
It would be difficult to show that
the accusation did not have at
least some effect on the ballot
ing.
Another area In which legis
lative delay Is bringing cri
ticism down on the Administra
tors head concerns revamping
of the cotton program.
Textile leaders are rememb
ering out loud that the White
House promised last Septem
ber the Administration would
offer and support a bill to eli
minate the two price cotton
system under which foreign
mills now buy American cotton
about 25 per cent under the
pries which domestic mills
must pay. That differential
comes about under an' arrange
ment by which export cotton Is
sold at the so-called "world"
price, with the government pay
ing an eight and one-half cent
per pound subsidy to protect
Income of American growers.
In the remembrance of the
White Rouse pledge textile peo
ple are now openly complaints
that Its fulfillment has not been
vigorously pursued and that

Fanners Learn To Adjust
Tobacco Fertilizer To Rain
Tobacco farmers are learn
ing that they can do more than
talk about the weather - rainy
weather that Is.
Once ~ rainy weather really
threw tobacco farmers a curve.
It leached their fertilizer, es
pecially nltrocen and potash,
and left their crop with that
? washed out" look.
Replacing the leached fer
tilizer was mostly quesswork.
Too little nitrogen sldedress
lng applied too late was bad.
So was too much side dressing.
"Adjusting fertilizer for loss
es due to leaching still requires
some guessing or estimating,';
says Roy Bennett, extension
tobacco specialist at North
Carolina State. "But certain
guides will Improve accuracy
and help a farmer decide how
much side dressing his crofc
needs."
First, a grower needs to have
a rain gauge to record rainfall
and Irrigation. Secondly, he
needs to estimate that amount
of water that runs off and the
amount that soaks Into the soil.
And, thirdly, he needs to study
his soil and estimate how much
available water the first 10
to 12 Inches will hold. ^
With this Information, the
grower can decide how much
water soaks below the active
root zone to leach out his ni
trogen and potash. This Is call
ed "excess water."
"Roughly, we suggest that for
t one Inch of excess water a
grower should replace about
one-fifth of the nitrogen re
commended and applied orig
inally, Bennett said. '
"For-" Pwo Inches of excess
water replace about one-third
of the original suggested ni
trogen. For three Inches of
excess water replace frqm one
half to three-fourths of the
original suggested nitrogen.
"Also, remember to keep your
nitrogen and potash In balance,"
Bennett added.
If heavy rains continue, the
tobacco specialist suggests that
growers continue to adjust ni
trogen and potash at least until
the crop gets waist high. ,
"If admustments are made
beyond this period, stay on the
conservative side," he caution
