All participants have shown a commendable spirit of sportsman ship. Their exceUent results achieved, individuaUy and collect i ively, are accomplishments showing rare ability and we feel sure the experience gained during the past few weeks will prove of inestim able value ia years to come. , We only wish it were possible to award a beautiful new automobile to each and every active contestant, but to do so, of course, would eliminate that vital element of competition that makes any race. The contest will soon be over. To the winners, congratulations! To those who must of necessity accept secondary awards, we can truthfdUy say they “fought the good fight” for highest honers, and special commendations are due those who are game to the finish.

Public, hearings on pending bills are granted by ' committees of the Genei al Assem bly upon request of any interested persons, firms or corporations. These hearings are time-consum ing, boring to legislators and reg ular a tend ants upon committee meetings, and mc*e often than not accomplish no real purpose toward constructive legislation. It is trad itional poicy to afford every per son the right to have his say before a tax Is levied upon him; and to permit era? agency, department or institution of the state to be heard before an appropriation’ is made for any .desired purpose, and to let any interested citizen speak for or agllnst proposed legislation in which he Is interested. That takes time and repetitious arguments art boring—especially when made by persons who obviously know very little about the subject under dis cussion. But it is democracy and it is the North Carolina way. SLOW—Democratic processes are bound to be slow.

Floyd of Raleigh, head of the Plant Food Institute, told a group of Sampson-Cumberland-Harnett Gin ners Wednesday night. F Floyd appeared as guest speaker for the group at a supper meeting held at the Dunn Armory. The meeting was the second monthly session held by the association. President Myres Tilghman of Dunn presided. The institute chief pdinted out that farmers, ginners, crushers and manufacturers of cotton and cotton products have suffered be cause insufficient research has been done in that field. No one has yet bothered to find out if the pre dominant strain being planted throughout the State is truly suited to all sections, he said, or if other varieties would yield better results. RECORD CROP SOUGHT Floyd added that, with the pre sent demand for 16,000,000 bales of cotton in 1961, “we have to give to any other commodity.” However, he stated, “in rile fran tic drive for more cotton, we must not accuse Washington of wild things.’’ Even though toe govern ment Is asking for near-record cotton production this year, said Floyd, the Department of Agricul-1 ture is recommending that toe! crop be rotated with others, not a “ rr, Plant Mora S COTTON For Your Country’s Defense, For Your Own Profit, Security.

M. 3tewee4jg N0.J71 j Negotiators j Accept Defense Department Bid Over 2,000 textile workers went back to work as usual this morning at Erwin’s two plants after the Textile Workers Union of America accepted a 15-day extension of wage and benefits negoti ations.
