According to The Manufacturer!
Record, last year North Carolina,
more nearly than any other Stat in
the Union, produced oa the farm the

ment recently given out by Mr. Slemp means that North Carolina is fortify
before actually assuming the duties ing herself against the ra rages of the
of the secretaryship. Mr. Slemp, , boll-weevil and against the evils of
among other things, undertook to ex- j any one cash crop. It is evidence

lifferences in the program. Some
form of World Court plan, he said,
will in all probability be promoted.
The farm problem and the coal strike
were the President's immediate prob
lems, according to Mr. Slemp, but he
felt certain that an extra session of
Congress would not be called to deal
with them.
Attention is called to this state
ment of Secretary Slemp not so much
for the purpose of pointing out what
he said as to point out his role of
spokesman ofr the President. It is
logical to infer therefrom that Mr.
Slemp rs to be an assistant to the
President, or assistant President, ac
cording as one may look at it a sort
of connecting link between the Presi
dent and the public, in dealing with
policies, issues and propaganda rather
than routine.
That Secretary Slemp is not an
ideal person for such an important
place is apparent from the "Dear

get the letters of Mr. Slemp's secre

I pective applicants be told to "send in
a little contribution, say $25 or $35,"
! nor the letter of Mr. Slemp himself
in which he tells "Dear Ben" that he
"has letters in regard to collection of
money for post offices", and adds
"one must be very careful about this.
It will bring the party into ill repute."
He did not tell "Dear Ben" that the
practice of extorting money from ap
plicants for office was reprehensible
and in violation of the civil service
law, but only that he must be careful.
The scandals attending trafficking
in otrice by Kepublicans in southern
welfare, is making headway. It
means that the millions of dollars an
nually sent out of the state for food
and feed are in larger number being
kept at home.
Such a resolution in farm methods
has not been started by individual
effort; the farmers are organising in
co-operation associations and bankers
and other business men are aiding
them. In Scotland Neck, for instance 1
