THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1937 The Farm Outlook Agriculturists generally agree that 1937 should prove to be the most pros perous year for farmers in the past decade. All indications point to good crops in all branches of the industry and gener ally improved business conditions should keep prices up to a reasonable level de spite good yields. There never has been a big surplus of products of the farm in comparison with the need. However, there have been disastrous surpluses for the reason that people were unable to buy all they needed and _ what they needed in the way of food products. This may sound unreasonable when we consider that no one has starved from want and that life has been sustained. But a person wh« is earning a sujffi- cient wage for a decent living will buy more heavily at grocery and feed stores, as well as in other lines of trade. In Wilkes it is gratifying to see that farmers are taking much more interest in improvement of their farm.s. No longer do they expect to treat their land in a haphazard manner and earn a liv ing. The soil will yield dividends under the proper management and no business will do otherwise. ' It W ^ Support Needed La.st week the American Legion junior baseball schedule .started in Wilkes county. With the proper public support this can mean much to the beys of the county. The moral fibre of a community re flects its influence into every home and if this program of organized sport can raise the moral .standards of youth it certainly deserves public support of the responsible citizens, regardless of wheth er or not a particular home has a boy of playing age. The play is well .‘jupervised and men of character and integrity are handling the eight teams in the county. They will .see that the boys play in the prope.- •invironment and that they learn the principles of sportsmanship. If you as a citizen think that this form of recreation is better than allowing a child to wander about and seek his recreation without guidance and with out any a.s.surance of him being in a whole.some environment, it is your diity to lend your support to junior ba.seball by attending the games and lending ev ery assistance A Big New Industry More than.five hundred different con cerns are engaged in the newest of Am erica’s major industries. That of air- conditioning. The means of so building and equipping houses, offices, factories, stores and theatres that the tempera ture and humidity can be controlled at all seasons and under any weather con ditions, has at last come out of the ex perimental .stage and become a practical reality of everyday application. It is in about the stage in which the automobile was when Mr. Ford turned out his first “Model T ’ thirty years ago. It will be years before an air-condi tioned home will be as much a necessity for every family as an automobile is to day; but it is pretty nearly a certainty that that timt' will come. As with automobiles, increased pro duction will bring costs down. Today only the fairly well-to-do can afford to equip their homes with air-conditioning devices, but in a not far distant tomor row a house not so equipped will be re garded as out of date and fit only for the very poor to live in. Permanent prosperity is brought about the »ucce«ive development of "new industries. Air-conditioning is the the journampatriot. north IORVN. C.

Mr, Shore lives in our neighboring county—Yadkin near the Wilkes line. We merely mentioned the approxi mate location to say that if some one so near Wilkes can raise a cow worth $1,600 that Wilkes should not be with out its possibilities in dairying. In fact, dairy specilists have repeated ly told us that Wilkes is one of the most ideally situated counties in the south for dairying and that it should become one of the three leading branches of agri culture in the county—the other two be ing fruit growing and poultry. In connection with the sale of the prized animal to which we referred above, let us quote excerpts from an editorial in a recent issue of the Winston- Salem Journal. “Perhaps it is of equal importance that the animal was not sold to an out- of-state breeder, but to a North Carolina dairyman who plans to use the cow as one of a number of “foundation animals’’ in buiuding up a large Guernsey herd. Eastern breeders participated in the heavy bidding for the Shore cow and helped run the price to a high figure, but the valuable animal remains in North Carolina. This incident indicates some of the possibilities of the upper Piedmont as a dairying region. Starting with an ordi nary farm in Yadkin, Mr. Shore built up a fine herd, featuring pure-bred Guernseys which command extraordi- naary high prices in many inctances. Like Mr. Shore, other farmers have found it highly profitable t o develop dairy herds and market other products of their farms through the dairy. The dairy business implies the sowing of sev eral fields in grass and legumes, which in turn means soil building and conser vation, while a good portion of the corn crop may be turned to the cattle thru the silo. And not the least factor on the soil-building .side of the equation are the manures made vailable for the fields. Definite, even though gradual, switch of emphasis from the one-crop system to the diversification program essential to dairying would constitute in time an unmixed blessing in itself. When cou pled to the profits to be derived (from a well-managed dairy business, the pro gram would be synonymous with eco nomic liberation for many farmers in this .section. It’s much easier to sit down E.nd strike than to stand up. It's a "feelable" rather than a written law t'hat suitles one’s conscience. Sunday School Lesson Bv REV. CHARLES E.

JOSEPH’S KINDNESS TO HIS KINDRED Lesson for June 20th. Genesis 46:1-7 GOLDEN TEXT: EPHESUNS 4:32 Joseph’s gracious treatment of his brothers is a refreshing contrast to their earlier shabby con duct at Gotham. Inviting them and his aged father, in the name of Pharoah, to settle in Egypt, he promised them stifficient food for the five year.s of famine which remained. The dis trict of Goshen, a pastoral, fertile area, was se lected as their new home. There they flour ished during the seventeen years of Jacob’s so journ in Egypt. Here we have a very practical application of the Golden Rule. Too much of our religion, as Dr. Fosdick reminds 'is, is “emotional respon siveness without practical issue.’’ We fail to understand that the gospel is ‘‘action, not dic tion.’’ From a type of faith mainly ceremonial in character it is good to pass into the sort of discipline Henry Ward Beecher had in mind when he said: “Religion means work in a dirty world. You ai-e not called of God if you are ashamed to scour and scrub.” Joseph, despite his exalted rank, and his con sequent pri'vilege to move in erclusive circles with folk of great ■wealth and high social position, never lost touch with the common man and his needs. And he at once acted to alle^viate their distress. With commendable (^nerosity he brought them to Egypt and gave them a new start under conditions making for comfort and prosperity. There is a real rebuke in Bliss (barman’s song, “They’re praising God on Sunday. They’ll be all rigdit on Monday. It’s just a little habit they’ve acquired.” Too often religion is an oc-‘ casional experience associated ■with a worship ritual. We must leans to think^^of it, as Dt . Fos- (Uck insists, as really beginning on Monday morning and lasting all the week. “God sent me Battery Service and Tire Repair Stations, — Billiard or Pool 7 ibles, located outside of incorporat ed cities or towns, whether operated by slot or oth erwise: Not more than 2 feet wide and 4 feet long, for each table, — Not more than 214 feet wide and 5 feet long, for each table, - Not more than 3 feet wide and 6 feet long, for each Not more than 3% feet wide and 8 feet long, for each table, — More than 3(4 feet wide and 8 feet long, for each table, - - —2^5.00 Blank Cartridge Pistols, dealers in, — — 200.00 Bo\>le Knives, Dirks, Daggers.
