FARM BOARD "ECONOMIES’* "What has the Farm Board been worth to the Ameri can farmer?” is a pertinent question. It has handled millions of dollars of the taxpayers money, but there is serious dispute as to the efficiency of this handling. What the board has been given has come after all from the pocketbooks of the farmers and other tax payers, and we seriously doubt if the experiment has been beneficial to any one except the board’s appoin tees to big salaries. .Here are. a few samples of tke roll of pay as of October 31, 1931, which is substantially the same today.

And there are others in other cities, all paid by the farm board. CHEESE-MAKING—A LOCAL POSSIBILITY Rowan county has possibilities for grazing and pas ture that have not even begun to be developed. When a sufficient number of local farmers realize this we are going to see a greater increase in the number, of cows and the development of such potential sources of in come as a creamery, a cheese factory, etc. In fact a creamery and cheese factory go hand in hand. There is real food for thought in the fact that in; the dairy State of Wisconsin the average farm income is between twice and three times what the money-crop is in North Carolina. Anbther consideration is the fact that North Carolina, which is 38 th among the States in average per farm income, uses considerably more fertilizer in producing its crops than any other State in the American Union, whereas the dairy and lifestock producing States use, as compared with this State, an insignificant amount of fertilizers. The re sult is that the net per farm family income of Wis consin for instance is probably four times the net farm family income in North Carolina. So Wisconsin, with a little more than half the growing season of this State, and with the necessity of larger investments in barns and cover, is waxing wealthy on the cheese and butter which are produced by her farmers and sold to North Carolina and other States which are least pro fitable. THE BEST YET The Watchman desires to congratulate The Post on its Industrial and Agricultural Edition published last Sunday. It was undoubtedly the finest issue of this kind ever published in Rowan county. Much good should result from this publication. Rowan county has unlimited advantages to offer to industrial and agricultural interests. In fact, no county in the state has more to offer. Our job should be to let the world know it. The Post has taken) a big step in this direction. BRUCE BARTON Writes Of "THE MASTER EXECUTIVE” Supplying a week-to-week inspiration for $he heavy-burdened who will find every , human trial paralleled in the experience of "The Man Nobody Knows.” THE VOICE OF AUTHORITY Success is always exciting; we never grow tired of asking what and how:. What, then, were the principal elements in Jesus’ power oyer men? How was it that I the boy from the country village became the greatest leader? x First of all he had the voice and manner of the leader—the personal magnetism which begets loyalty axiu cuxxxxxxaixua xcspccu x xic ucgixi nings of it rwere present in him even as a boy. John felt them. On the day when John looked up from the river where he was baptiz ing converts and saw Jesus standing on the bank, he drew back in pro Itest. "I have need to be baptized of thee, he exclaimed, "and comest thou to me?” •rvw me lesser man recognized the greated instinctivtly. We speak of personal magnetism as though there were something mysterious about it— a magic quality bestowed on one in a thousand and denied to all the rest. This is not true. The essential element in personal magnetism is a consuming sincer ity—an overwhelming faith in the importance of the work one has to do. Most of us go through the world mentally divided against ourselves. We wonder whether we are in' the right jobs, whether we are making the right invest ments, whether, after all, anything is as important as it seems to be. Our enemies are those of our own be in(g and creation. Instinctively we wait for a com manding voice for one who shall say authoritatively, "I have the truth. This way lies happiness and salva tion.” There was in Jesus supremely that quality of conviction. Even very successful people were moved by it. Jesus had been in Jerusalem only a day or two when there came a knock at his door at night. He opened it to find Nicodemus, one of the principal men of the city; a member of the Sanhedrin, a supreme court judge. One feels the dramatic quality of the meeting—the young, almost unknown, teacher and the great man, half curious, half convinced. It would have been easy to make a mistake. Jesus might very naturally have expressed his sense of honor at the visit; have said: "I appreciaate your coming, sir. You are an older man and successful. I am just start, ing on my work. I should like to have you advise me too how I may best proceed.” But there was no such note in the interview—no effort to make it easy for ,chis notable-visitor to become a convert. One catches his breath involuntarily at the audacity of the speech: "Verily, verily, I say to you, Nicodemus, except you are born again you can not see the (kingdom of Heaven.” And a few moments later, "If I have ,told you earthly things and you have not believed, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” The famous-^visitor did not enroll as a disciple, was not invited to enroll; but he never forgot the impres sion made to the young man’s amazing self-assurance. In a few weeks the crowds along the shores of the Sea Galilee were to fed the same power. Superior Court Gets Off To A Slow Start i _' ' The first four days -of the Sep tember term of the Superior court which convened Monday were con sumed in the trial of two cases: state vs. W. T, Bell, charged with seduction and state against Ranson Freeze and Teen Johnson, charbed with burglary and arson. Bell was found guilty. Sentence was 3 to 5 years ini the state pen. Thursday the court was stilf On the cases against Freeze and Johnson AN OLD STAR'S EXPLANATION Sailor—But why should they want to alter "Port” and "Starboard’’ to "Right’ and "Left”?
