C., as second class matter under Act of March 4. 1879. MONDAY, JUNE 21, 1937 The Brannock Case Who killed Elva Brannock, 16-year- old girl, in Alleghany county? Is this case, like the widely heralded Tilley case in Wilkes, to go unsolved and will her murderer continue at liberty? These are questions that law abiding people are pondering as more and more murders go unsolved and killers roam at liberty. The fact that such murders remain mysteries is more the fault of the law structures of the state and counties than of any individual officer, many of whom use every effort to clear up such cases, but are handicapped by lack of scien tific aids or special training in crimnol- ogy and crime detection. This is all the more a strong argu ment for the setting up of a state bu reau of invesaigation patterned after the federal bureau under direction of Ed gar Hoover and manned by G-men. This state needs such an enforcement agency with trained investigators selected on the basis of ability and training (not political reward), who would have the power to investigate any case in the state and who would be equipped with the most up-to-date laboratories to aid in their work. In a majority of the counties in the state the sheriff beare the main burden of law enforcement. Under the set-up of the law structure, he is usually both sheriff and tax collector and the very nature of his office suggests a process server instead of an investigator. The, sheriff is bound in his activities to his county and in the days of half a century ago there was little need for it to be otherwise . In this fast age crime pre sents a different problem in that a man commits murder here today and is across the state tomorrow. •k * Broadening Base A proposal is before Congress to broaden the income tax base to include everybody making as much as $15 per week. This proposal is said to be pop ular and may be enacted at this session of Congres.s or at the next when a sweeping revision of the tax structure is planned. The propo.sal has its good points, one of which is that the government must raise more revenue from some source or go farther in the hole financially and further increase the record breaking debt. Another i.s that more people would realize that they are being taxed and that they are helping to pay for what the government does. Another good point is that they would realize that what the government spends it must collect and that the more they de mand from the government the more the government must demand from them. These are lessons that must be learned before any real economy is affgeted in government. As long as people labor under the false impression that the gov ernment can pay out money forever like a proverbial santa claus without dig ging into their own earnings no indig nant public opinion will rise against tax spenders. Increased public spending has under our system of democracy been in accord with the opinion of the majority of the people, but many have not realized that government money is not free and that government can spend, in the final an alysis, no more than its people can pay. It is said that though it has been five years since the smalLsize dollar , bills^ were issued, there are 240,000,000 of the old large size dollar bills'still out. Some of these are in the hands of col lectors, some »re ‘beiic«'hwixded,. andj many them have been lost oF de- ctitqred. ^ Cbuiitsy Things Dftvid Grayson, writer of “Adventure in C^entment,^’^and'T^A'Coanti^ man’s Y'ear,’^ contributes to The gressive Farmer this characteristic reply to the question; “What country things do you love most?” “One thing I know of a country—I like to see things grow, especially things I have myself planted dr bred or tend ed. I like to go out of ah evening after the day’s work is over and I am tired and walk about my garden and orchard or down into my field, I like to see the young com pushing up through the brown earth and the grassland coming green with clover and redtop. I like to watch the young bees playing in front of the hives and the blossoms thick on the apple trees. “Nothing, I think, gives a man more solid satisfaction than to climb into a fruit tree which he himself with his own hands set out, a frail sapling, a few years before. To have watched a tree. grow through the years, to prune it, spray it, and finally to gather the fruit of it is to know the peculiar joy of crea tion. “Even the risks and the failures add zest to one’s devotion. If things go wrong I can go to the rescue: I can feed or fertilize, I can cultivate or irrigate, I can dip or spray or prune. And at the end of the season when the corn stands six or eight feet tall, like ranks of gren adiers in the fields, and the neighbors •come to tell me what a crop I have, it gives a glow of satisfaction that comes, I think, in no other way. “Yes, I like to see things grow.” FIRESIDE PHILOSOPHY By C. M. DICKSON Some things which seem sweet today may be come bitter as gall tomorrow. As a rule, we save time by using the things near us. Officials are to serve—not to be served. Real contentment is found in private life only. How tragic for one to bi-eathe and yet be “dead” to all that’s around him! Seize the opportunity as it comes to you; it may never come again. One should be slow to choose friends, but slower to lose them. First check up on yourself and then let the other fellow judge you. Impossible—for one to be both sweet and sour at the same time. Soime people idle for pleasure while others work for it. A fool need not advertise himself as such— people win find it out T^e manner in which a thing is done counts for more than the action itself. Every person should strive to keep a harmoni ous relationship 'between, and among all his at tributes. Words speak, of course, but actions speak so much loader. To be acquainted with the past trains the im agination for the future. A human soul may be termed an ornament moulded in clay. It’s usually the strongest who wins the race. If many women took as much i»in8'w««iting their children as others do in earing for their Poodle-dogs, what clean children they would have. Pa^ taught that one can be patient without - lying' down.

A Lesson From Straw The best seller, “Gone With the Wind,” has been the subject of a vast deal of comment, both oral and writ ten. In The Progressive Farmer, Rev. Dr. John W. Holland uses it as the text of a sermon and says:— “Occasionally throughout the volume you find a sentence that fairly leaps up off the page. “One of these sentences came from the lips of a Southern woman. She was one of the patrician ladies of the Old South, a woman of exquisite character who had seen the fires of war burn over everything upon which her home and so ciety had been built. Her words ran something like this: “Some people are like wheat straw. When the storm .sweeps over the wheat field, the stems break and cannot rise again. But some of us are like buckwheat straw which has life in it. When the wind blows the buckwheat down, it will straighten up again. We of the South are buckwheat straw—we will get up again.” “There is a volume of truth in those short lines.” torage Poultry Products - ^— er-. Providing two or thfoe centwir iy located^ pa(^iog and stttngp plants would work to the adyant^c of both buyers and sellers of poul try, believes T. T. Brown, exten sion ponltryman at State College. At present large grocery feom- panies and packers are forced to buy the bulk of their poultry meat and eggs outside North Carolina because their demands caiinot be satisfied within the State. Yet, declares Brown, North Cor- olina poultry growers ship large numbers of their chickens and eggs to eastern markets. This discrepancy is brought about because buyer and seller find it difficult to get together. Conse quently, the buyer will continue to make his purchases outside t h e state, and the seller- will continue to ship his poultry north. When there is such a huge poten tial market right here in North Carolina for poultry _and eggs, some plan should be worked out so that local products could be pur chased b)y home companies and packers, Brown adds. One large packing company made a survey of poultry re sources in North Carolina a few years ago, but decided, at the time, there would be an insufficient amount of poultry and eggs to jus tify the erection of a packing plant for the purpose. However, declares Brown, poul try production has Expanded to the extent that two or three of these plants could be employed to good advantage at present, ■Cooperation would be essential to the success of these plants, the poultryman points out. Before they could be set up, officials would have to be reasonably sure that there would be enough offer ings from growers to keep the establishment going.

Answer: The most common and destructive worms that attack can teloupes are the pickle worm and the melon worm. These pests can be controlled by frequent applica tions of a .75 percent rotenone dust Icontaining 25 percent of sulphur. The rate of application should be irem 15 to 20 pounds per acre de pending upon the size of the plants. Ti’eatments should begfin I fhen the worms first appear and ontinue at seven day intervals as long as the wormi are present. For best control, the stems, foliage and leaves should be completely covered with the dust.
