THE FOREST CITY COURIER, FOREST CITY, N. C.
Mr. Jonas Shows
His Sportsmanship
Raleigh, Jan. s.—The hue and cry
being raised by former Congress--
man Charles A. Jonas, Republican,
of the ninth district concerning the
crookedness of this last election and
of election officials generally over
the state is causing more amuse
ment than otherwise here in Ra
leigh, where it is being interpreted
as little more than exhibition of
poor sportsmanship on his part.
For almost exactly the same elec
tion officials presided over the polls
and counted the ballots on Novem
ber 4 this past year when Major A.
L. Bulwinkle the Democratic can
didate, defeated Jonas as when
Jonas defeated Bulwinkle in 1928,
it is pointed out. Yet Bulwinkle did
not go up and down the land and
to Washington complaining of
crooked elections and crooked elec
tion officials. Neither did Jonas
have anything to say about elec
tion method and procedure when he
was elected. It is also pointed out
that there was much more oppor
tunity for irregularities to have oc
curred in 1928 under the old bal
lot system than in 1930 under the
Australian ballot plan. It is also
pointed out that hundreds of thou
sands of Republican ballots were
sent out by mail by the Republican
campaign managers in 1928 and
that thousands of these ballots,
printed to look exactly like the of
ficial ballots were voted instead of
the official ballots. Yet Jonas rais
ed no protest at that time, since he
was the victor then.
"Another consideration that en
ters into these charges by Jonas is
that if any party is going to at
tempt to purloin any votes in any
election, it. is generally the party
against which the election is going."
said a state official in discussing
the Jonas charges here. "Thus if
the Democrats ever had any cause
to use any irregular methods it was
in 1928, when things were going
them, rather in 1930, when
the trend was overwhelmingly in
their favor.
"Thus the charges being made by
Jonas are unwarranted and un
founded right on the face of things,
especially when the same set of
election officials counted the votes
that elected him in 1928. It would
appear that Jonas has not yet learn
ed how to accept defeat gracefully."
The Home Garden
Saves Crop Money
Using the average yields and the
average prices for cotton and to
bacco in 1930, it would have taken
more than nine acres of cotton and
almost 2V2 acres of tobacco to
purchase the vegetables which can
be grown in a small half-acre gar
den.
"Half an acre of fertile ground,
properly planted and tended will
produce enough vegetables for a fam
ily of five persons," says E. B. Mor
row, extension horticulturist at
State college. "These vegetables will
cost at least $225 if brought at
retail prices usually prevailing. We
have found that the family garden
was increased by ten percent or by
10,000 acres in 1930 over the pre
vious t year due largely to the live
at-home movement which gained
such popularity last year. This in
crease represents a potential sav
ings account of around 4% million
dollars and is well worth considering
in this period of business depres-
sion?'
The garden work conducted by
the agricultural extension service of
State college last year was closely
! associated with the work in nutri
jtion, says Mr. Morrow. A large num
ber of home demonstration club wo-
J men kept careful figures as to the
amount of vegetables used from their
gardens during each month. The
j idea of building a balanced and
I nutritious diet by means of certain
I vegetables from the family garden
j gained much prominence.
i Mr. Morrow says the most popu
lar green or leafy vegetables were
cabbage and snap beans, followed
j closely by green onions and okra.
Asparagus, lettuce and spinach were
■ outstanding weaknesses in this group.
Cowpeas, lima beans and sweet corn
were leaders in the edible seed
groups. Of the vegetable fruits, to
matoes led, followed by cucumbers
and watermelons. Less than 50 per
cent of the women reported using
! cantaloupes while squash and sweet
' peppers went above this mark. The
most popular root crops were ma-
ture onions and irish potatoes.
Two Good Reasons
For Saving Seed
Money sent away each year to
purchase farm seeds could be used
profitably in farm operations at
home but aside from this there are
two others good reasons why every
landowner should grow and save his
own seed. First, they can be grown
at little expense, and second, the
grower can tell whether they are
free of disease. •
"Th purchase of large quantities]
of both major and minor crop
by growers each year is tremendous,
says Dr. R. F. Poole, plant disease
specialist of the North Carolina Ex
periment Station. "This outlay of 
money is not in keeping wit' the
aims of our live-at-home program.
Also there are but few crops grown
in the State where high yield and
high quality of product cannot be |
maintained by home production of j
seeds. Conditions are favorable in j
this State to improve crops by care- j
ful seed selection on the home farm." J
Dr. Poole says seed cjm be grown;
at home at little expeSfise. The ri-'
! pening and curing neecls are not j
j expensive. About the only attention j
| necessary is to keep them in mod
erately dry storage and in tight con
tainers. Seed may be saved from the
finest quality fruits without losing
the edible parts, and, home-grown,
| well matured and properly stored
seed will always give a high percen
age of germination.
By growing seed at home, the
i grower can be assured that they are
free from disease. This is not so
easy in rainy seasons when heavy
j infection occurs before maturity;
I however, a few trials will give any
grower a satisfied understanding of
how stands and quality may be bet
tered by small effort. For instance,
says Dr. Poole, the early bunch bean
crop last season was entirely free
from anthracnose and bacterial spot-
No better seed stock could have been
obtained from any source, yet most
of these fine beans were plowed un
der. The grower will this season
purchase his beans from another
source at a high price when he could
have had them very cheaply from
a home supply.
Use Idle Acres
For Dairy Cow
Land left over when the cotton
acreage has been properly reduced
this year must be put to some prac
tical and profitable use.
"We should not fail to heed the
warning to reduce the cotton and
tobacco acreage this year, but, we
must also remember that diversifi
cation means the production of feed
crops for livestock and thus making
'the dairy cow and other kinds of
domestic livestock the means ol
selling these crops for cash." says
A. C. Kimrey, dairy extension spe
cialist at State college. "This is the
proper way to think about livestock
production in the great cash crop
areas of the State. It is foolish to
[think that a dairy cow is so mira
culous that she can return a piofit
to a person who has some extra land
but who has neither the inclination
nor the will to feed the cow pro
perly or milk her regularly."
It is Mr. Kimrey's opinion that
the dairy cow best fills her place as
an income earner when she is in
the hands of a family that lives on
its own land and makes it a custom
to produce feed and care for the
cow with their own labor or at least
gives personal supervision to hired
labor.
Neither is it necessary for the
cows to be in sections where there
is a ready market for fluid milk. The
cotton and tobacco belts of North
Carolina have few such local mar
kets. However, any farmer in these
belts may ship cream to a butter
making creamery and feed the skim
milk to calves, pigs and poultry. He
will receive a good market price for
every pound of home produced feed
fed to good cows.
For the men who wants to re
duce his acreage to cash crops and
jto use the resulting idle acres in a
[profitable way, Mr. Kimrey suggests
this formula: not less than five
good cows; not less than five acres
of good grass pasture; sufficient
gurne hay and grain for winter feed
ing; a cream separator and three
five-gallon cream shipping cans.
"No other state in the Union is
making greater progress in agricul
tural extension work than North
Carolina largely because the farm
and home agents have been able to
work in their counties over a long
period of time." —J- A. Evans, as
sistant chief of Extension work,
Washington, D. C.
