MONDAY, SEPT. 18, 1939 Livestock Exhibits Praised ^ Ted Beisch, manager of Cameron Mor rison’s Morricroft farm near Charlotte and a widely recognized authority on cattle, judged the cattle on exhibit at the Great Northwestern Fair here last! week and spoke very encouragingly of the animals shown. The cattle show, he said, was of high quality and the animals shown denoted progress in cattle raising in this section of the state. He also spoke well of Wilkes county as being adapted to the production oif dairy products and also as being naturally fitted for beef cattle production. The farmer who will not milk cows, he said, would do well to produce some beef cattle, although he discouraged the at tempt at large scale production of beef cattle on small farms. The soil and climatic conditions in Wilkes, he said, are adapted to the pro duction of feed and predicted that Wilkes wall make further progress in cattle pro duction. This year was the first time that a cat tle show of any consequence has been held at the fair and all who showed their ani mals are to be congratulated for their splendid showing. Many of the animals successful here will be shown at larger fairs and it is quite possible that Wilkes may be put on the map for production of high quality cattle. No better thing could happen for Wilkes agriculture. Natural conditions are favor able to diversified and balanced forming. Farming cannot be well balanced without livestock and cattle. Managed correctly, they will be the source of a continual in come and will be a means of farm improve ment so badly needed in many communi ties. Prices And Demands We have lately learned that part of the blame for the rapid rise in prices of staple groceries rightfully should be placed on a fantic buying public who became scared about the war and tried to buy up every thing in sight. Fr.ghtened housewives, remembering the sugar .shortage during the World War, bought heavily of sugar and the powers that be raised the prices in accordance to the peculiar demand not justified by the supply or circumstances existing at that time. To stem the tide of soaring prices on sugar the federal government wiped out the sugar quota, an act which will increase the supply available to the buying public. In view of this act we would advise that no one be any longer frightened about the supply of sugar becau.se it will be plentiful nnd prices will not : oar. There has not been the slightest justifi cation for the big jump in prices because there are great surpluses above the nor mal demand for food crops. If the farmers get their just share of the increase little damage will be done because the buying power will be increased for manufactured products. If profiteers get the biggest part of the increase there will a reaction. It is gratifying to note that the adminis tration is making elfon. to curb profiteer ing and keep things on. a reasonable price basis. If their efforts succeed we may ex pect to make sound progress which will be benef cial to all lines of business. Borrowed Comment DID WE LEARN ANYTHING? WE SHALL SEE! (Reidsville Review) “We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.’’ Cynical think ngI But never mind the cynicism, is it correct thinking? We are going to find out. Once again, the United States is faced with tihe heavy, tiisk (>f trying to remain out of a widespread European war. As in 1914, the gieat majority of the Ameri can people want none of it. They feel in stinctively that the age-old hatreds which underly all Europe’s wars are alien to us; they are something v/e have been trying to get awav from for generations. But •like skeletcus in the closet of our past, uthey will not let us be. ^ , , It ia true that American feeling is much stronger than in 1914. Then, mort Ameri cans were gcnninoly indifferent to the hloody brawls of Europe. Now we are not indtffwentt We cannot be. to^« dtoadvantage of the effort to stay KORTH WILKBSBORO: •is w. PT7 ‘'L>by—' ■ (if { - LAURANCE AYBLETT ^ ^Against it we murt that we know more of whiatnnaBfTOs tij^e wars; we know more of ffiC forts that are made to embroil us.- We have the war debt; in 1988 we admitted 182,946 World War veterans to hoepitili- zation, half of them neuro-phveh atric. We have not forgotten our 40,000 battle dead, our 90,000 dead of wounds and dis ease. As the President has pointed out, we must try resolutely to draw a line between what we think and what we ask our gov ernment to do. We must look skeptically at every effort to rouse passion and hatred and calmly and even coldly consider what is best for us. Thus it seems clear that Anthony Drexel Biddle, the Philadelphia socialite who happens at the moment tk) be the U. S. ambassador to Poland, has done his country no great service in implying that German aviators bombing Warsaw were practically aiming at him. It seems that several bombs were dropp ed near Biddle’s summer home in the War saw suburbs, damaging the house. Biddle was (,uoted as saying that) the attack was “deliberate.” If by that he means that the German aviators took pains to inform themselves of the location of the Biddle home, and then timed their bombs at it with special intent to kill the American ambassador, then the only answer is that any such idea is fantastic. In first place, we might as well recog nize once for all that a bombing pilot, har assed at anti-aircraft fire, can never be sure within a matter of three city blocks just what his bomb is going to hit. The hellish part of air bombing is not that the aviators coldly choose hospitals and old ladies’ homes for their targete, but simply that when the bombs drops they have on-^ the renovating programs, ly the vaguest idea of where it will j bears down on the division of in- P is notithe deliberate choice of defeusp-1 correctiojs of the less targets, but the sheer abandoned reck- ^ state Board of charities and Pub- lessness of bombing that make.- it hoiTOr. jne welfare which has been con- The United States has the right to ex-j ducting a campaign to get as pect from its official diplomatic represen-! many of the state’s insane as pos- tatives a special wariness against thought less accusations and inflammatory talk in general. The wariness is a duty which, every American ought to impose on him self. But it is a duty which the govern ment must impose on all those who offi cially represent it. For the next four months, North Carolina’s State Insane hospitals will not be able to meet the demands for admission of mental patients due to renova tion, fireproofing and enlarging programs now under way at all three institutions. In an attempt to meet demands from clerks of superior courts for more admissions for county in sane, beds in all hospitals have been placed in halls and recre ation rooms while workmen are attempting to complete the au thorized changes as fast as pos sible. That a serious problem Is in volved Is attested by the fact that during June of this year, 135 persons were being held in North; Carolina county jails as “mental cases" and awaiting transfer at the earliest possible moment to state institutions. Eighteen of them had been in jail two weeks or longer, one had been held for three months, while another listed as "feeble-minded’’ had been under the jailer’s care for more than two years. Forty insane persons remained in jail at the end of June, while the average length of stay was eight days. The heavy strain on institution- BIG BUSINESS (Statesville Daily) A Statesville citizen, recently returned from Raleigh, was greatly impressed with the display of slot machines which one dis tributor had in stock for immediate dispo sition. They ran all the way from the cheap, manually operated “one-arm ban dit” type to the more costly .streamlined “horse-racing” devices operated electrical ly. All told he was wondering how much money was represerted in that stock on hand. We take it that he will be interested to kno w that Wake county and city officers the other day took the key to the place and will keep it until the courts make dis position of the 222 dinkuses taken in the raid on this place and several filling sta tions and roadhouses, whose proprietors will be given an opportiunity to try to con vince a Superior Court judge that these machines are operated within the law. The same persistence and dogged deter mination that marks the activities of the slottiers to avoid the law, if applied to oth er channels, might not be so profitable in dollars and cents, but whatever the en gagement it certainly would result in as sets that would be more lasting and whole- I some. For the possible loss of this bunch of Raleigh machines is only a drop in the bucket. All over the State, a lot of hush money must be spent to keep somebody’s back turned while the slotters are about their skin game. And more often tihan they like the distributors bump into a hard- boiled sheriff or solicitor who places duty first, and then lawyers must be paid and court costs met. To the slotter, life is just one dinged tihing after another, and we reckon he would become discouraged if it were not for the gambling spirit that he has caught from association with his machines—plus the dead certainty that no matter how drastic lihe cost, the ultimate profits are such that he can’t lose. Some of these days we promise to take you with us on a round of the local slot vineyard. We think it will prove interest- .ng to you. EVIDENTLY A MYTH (Charlotte Observer) The mililiarists, and even some in this coiinlry who are not militarists, except in “thought,” have been arguing that the Un ted States should become so heavily and impregnably armed that no enemy would dare attack us. The argument sould plausible. Indeed, we hi'\ e, perhaps, indulged it ourselves. But what are we to say further as to this contention in the light of the fac + that the Germans and PVench have for years been buildiiig .scores of miles of armed fortifi cations for themselves which, they claim, ne’thei- side would ever have the hardi- ho)d to assault, and yet which are today b.. . ng assaulted. Arming to the point of impregnability is obviously a myth. A musician declares that England gave America the saxaphone. No wonder they insist upon those war debts.—Punch (Lon don). ♦ — Denmark has agreed not to attack Ger many. Now Shirley Temple should aorrsp sible out of the county jails and into quarters where they can re ceive the proper remedial, cus todial and medical care. Seriousness of the situation was shown in July when four so- called “insane’’ met death while locked in the county jails. Three persons committed suicide and one met death at the hands of another “mental case’’ in widely separated counties that had ap plied for admission of the pa tients but had been unable to place them under the present overcrowded conditions. Although it is expected that the present building plans will increase by 1500 the bed capacity of the three hospitals at Raleigh, Morganton and Goldsboro, the need for even additional space is so urgent that the added capacity will be completely absorbed with in a few months after completion (if the remodeling programs. I.ike most other states, North Carolina has never developed completely adequate facilities for care of its mental patients. How ever an expenditure of ?682,000, part of which was federal money, went to replace some existing facilities in 1935 in addition to providing some new accomo dations. Thus the counties wil’ be forced to continue caring for insane in their jails long after the present jail insane population is switched to the remedial lios- mi by the ^ -to ■ )»r», .altho^V.jUie7^», . - ■ to hold sttte prlMi^I nd ment- ad cases for^xiba^m^^ • until 'tuore beds are avauam in the state hospitals, j State ' welfare officials have pointed out one bright spot in the picture, however, .-in that many of the county commission ers are.now considering or ac tually have started a program of remodeling county jail faoilitlea to bring them up to the standards set by modern practice for the care of prisoners. But the hitch Is, they say, that until more state insane facilities are provided, the counties will also have to take care of most of their mental cases in jails where they cannot receive the necessary remedial care to bring a broken mind back into its normal chan nels.

While Korean lespedesa is the only species of this legume which matures before the first frost,'the importance of gathering every possible ounce of seed in order to increase acreages of this soil-con serving crop should be stressed and farmers should not delay in completing plans for harvesting their lespedesa seed, according to .Mr. Holler.
