No place on earth, as far as our limited knowledge will permit us to use that term, is so well favored by natural conditions and by man-made accomplishments. t)n May 1 the Coble Dairy Products plant in Wilkesborp- will begin operation. Never in the historj’’of Wilkes has an occasion had more bearing on the econo mic life of our people. Along with other things, the establish ment of the plant opens up opportunities for a balanced rural life. It was given added significance Thurs day when George Coble, dynamic owner of the enterprise, announced that his plant would also buy eggs to be manufactured into dried eggs. That means that the plant will also be a great factor in the development of another branch of Wilkes county agriculture. Wilkes is fitted for growing almost any crop. But it is especially fitted for greater de velopment of certain important lines of ag riculture. The three are: dairying and livestock production, poultry production, fruit grow ing. But the Wilkes farmer should as far as possible incorporate at least two of these activities along with production of field crops for feed and garden and truck crops for home consumption. Wilkes now has the opportunity to be come the land with “cattle on a thou.sand hills”-—green hills, not red hills. It has the opportunity to become the place of good rural homes, prosperous and progressive people, Dairj’ing and selling the milk to the milk plant means a steady cash income. Twice monthly a check will arrive. Under proper management that chack can represent a margin of cash profit, something our far mers have been sadly lacking. Dairying means growing more legumes and grasses, which naturally increa.se fer tility of the soil and hold that soil against the ravages of destructive erosion. Dairying means more livestock to sell for cash, which we have already .said is badly needed by a big majority cf our rural pop ulation. Dairying means manure to enrich the •oil, to grow more feed, more food, more crops with less labor and minimum cash expenditure. Poultry and egg production is especially adapted to Wilkes county, now the leading poultry producing county in the state. It is a good sideline to general farming and livestock production. Every farmer in Wilkes should have a flock of chickens, its size pending upon the interest of the family in that branch of ag riculture and their ability to handle poul try. One big obstacle to large scale develop ment of poultry production in Wilkes has been the low price season for eggs. In the season when eggs bring 35 cents per dozen almost anybody can get along with poultry. But the pinch comes when egg prices drop down into the ’teens. Now the Coble Dairy Products company proposes to get poultrymen over that . % niae caSif tea it the, Taking i&plus eggs off the_ market jQli# season of tee year, would’help hold Jop prices. Poultry farm«re woulc( benefit IM- measurably. But even with egg prices up at a reason able level, a farmer should endeavor to grow the grain his chickens consume. Litter from chicken houses placed on tee fields will mean bigger yields of grain to feed tee chickens in pface of some of the costlier concentrated feeds. God blessed Wilkes with a wonderful climate and with soil which responds well to proper care and management. It is time that our people used those blessings. rar' lay '-iWJ 1» an in tax Wanton Wa»te It is indeed regrettable that some few members of the human race are so wan tonly careless as to bum valuable timber. It is a fact that there are some people who deliberately set forest fires and there are those who will not lift a hand to pyt out a small fire which has started. In this connection an interesting com parison was raised in an editorial in the Twin City Sentinel: “Tar Heels have waxed indignant over the carelessness or sabotage which allow ed fire to ravage the great French liner, Normandie in New York harbor when it was being converted to war purposes. “We have been scathing in our denun ciation of the haphazard methods purport edly followed in guarding this great ves sel. Yet right here at home in the moun tains of North .Carolina flames are raging “tree-top tall” through our forests, sweep ing greedily over hundreds acres and do ing almost inestimable damage to our tim ber and wild life resources. “There was no excuse for carelessness and lack of alertness in connection with the conversion of the Normandie into a military craft. Neither is there any con ceivable excuse for the negligence and carelessness which scatters the sparks of devastation annually through the wooded areas of North Carolina and the South While the effects of the burning of the Normandie is more immediately felt, the destruction of our forests is a greater dis aster in the final analysis than the loss of any ship, however large. “Anywhere, any time it shows itself carelessness is a criminal, and a felon at that. It should be “locked up,” not mere ly for the duration, but for keeps.” a^.1bnt ltoc*tonr-^wn»a» part of fortlKoinhi* tlen profism, informed Semite aoureoi revealed U»t nigl^ ' ■' U»H The oyeratf iteB on^Ined by the Prwliieiit to hie cIom advisers nporto«y «eato(ii»l»toe • Iteito- tum of Ite.BOO or $60,000 on indi- yl&ia, ta exp^w'to call i(Ki ' r * 1.

That was indeed “sweet revenge” and, best of all, it proves that America is about ready to take the offensive, not only against Japan but .vise against Germany. We are at last taking possession of the air and this unexpected blow on the home land of the Japanese Empire will natural ly cause a great deal of anxiety on the Yel low home front and probably halt the vast spreading of her war machine over the en tire Pacific. Across the Atlantic, it is also apparent that England and the United States, as well as Germany, are planning to open up a big offensive. Of course, Germany plans to deal a death-blow to Russia, while the Allies plan to weaken the pressure on the Reds by opening up an offensive against Germany on some unknown front. It seems obvious to us that this is the only thing to do. We must prevent Hitler from marching through Russia and India and joining hands with Japan. If that should happen, the war might last ten years, but if we can “hold Hitler” this summer and gradually weaken and pre vent him from getting vast areas of impor tant resources, then the war might end within a year or eighteen months' time. Therefore, the next few months are sig nificant months in world history. «f a t-B'A tre«$ which iWii be Ixat rht for,,BiUltory| H* fiepqnden- .
