THE BALD EAGLE
Our National Emblem
The Bald Eagle is a bird of
wooded lakes and seashores. It is
found throughout the United
States and Canada, but is most
i.bundant in Florida and along the
coasts of British Columbia and
Alaska. In North Carolina, it is
common only at the coast. It is
fie Golden Eagle, not the Bahl,

haiacter and mountain eyrie.

thing would be all right. After

had been so confident.
"Oh," smiled Peggy, "who ever
heard of a Corcoran being on time
for an appointment?"
LORD HALIFAX POSES
From the point of view of the
press, Lord Halifax has got off to
a good start.
After his talk with Hull, Halifax In
vited the press into the diplomatic
reception room, where with his one
good arm (his left hand is missing)
he lit a cigarette and answered ques
tions with a deep voice and a wan
smile.
Oddity at this conference was the
presence of the German newsman,
Kurt Sell, correspondent for the of
ficial Nazi news agency, D.N.B. Sell
busily took notes while Halifax was
saying, "When the history of this
war comes to be written, it will say
that Hitler lost the war in June of
1940."
PERKINS VS. EVANS
Agriculture department liberals,
led by Milo Perkins, aggressive chief
of the surplus marketing administra
tion, have been gunning for Evans'
scalp ever since the European war
shut off cotton and wheat export
markets, thus aggravating the eco
nomic plight of small farmers who
make their entire livelihood from
these crops.
Perkins wants to meet the loss of
foreign markets by less emphasis on
"cash income" the guide-rule of
big, commercial farmers and
greater emphasis on the food stamp
plan for disposal of surpluses at
home. His group contends that small
growers should be made more self
sustaining by less crop control, and
by more diversified farming for do
mestic consumption.
Evans looks coldly upon any de
parture from the "cash income"
principle as rank heresy, and views
the food stamp program as a de
terrent on farm prices, rather than
a benefit to needy in the cities and
a way to dispose of surpluses on
the farm.
That Perkins' program stands
high in the favor of Wickard was
shown when the latter publicly ad
vocated the policy, as soon as he
was sure he would remain as sec
retary of agriculture.
NEW AAA WAR
The Agricultural Adjustment ad
ministration, has long rocked by
backstage rowing. This year's is the
f' urlh since the AAA was created in
1033.
AAAdministrator Rudolph M. Ev
ans plus certain aides have been
accused of being in opposition to
Secretary Claude Wickard's an
nounced policy of increasing federal
aid to small, under-privileged farm
ers and tenants.
Evans has never enthused over
such a program. He has consistent
ly preached that the way to achieve
higher commodity prices was
through government loans and AAA
benefit payments a system that has
netted handsome dividends to large
commercial farm operators but has
reduced few mortgages for the lit
tle fellow.
Before Evans, there were the ex
plosive George Peek, first AAA boss,
who departed in 1934; Chester Da
vis, who rowed with Wallace; and
Howard R. Tolley, Evans' immedi
ate predecessor, who was shifted to
the bureau of agricultural econom
ics. All were "liquidated" follow
ing bitter policy rows over this same
issue.
MERRY-GO-ROUND
Among the habiliments Jack Gar
ner packed up when he left Wash
ington was a suit of evening clothes.

asked. "Oh," replied Garner, "we

i The principal food of the Eagle
j is fish. Many waterfowl are tak
en, usually the old, the weak, ana

The Bald Eagle is non-aggressive
and dignified, meriting our fullest,
protection. Ever since it became
our national emblem in 1782 it has
steadily decreased in numbers, un
til today it is rare where before it
was abundant, because of unjusti
fied and needless shooting. The
Eagle is protected in North Caro
lina, and every bird shot is in vio
lation of the State law.
The Bald Eagle can he told
from all other birds of prey except
the Golden Eagle by the larger
size, it being about three feet in
total length with wing spread of
about seven feet. The adults can
always be known in addition by the
white head and tail. Immature
birds can seldom be distinguished
with certainty in the field from

son in the Mountains. The latest
safe date to plant lespedeza is
March 15 in the Coastal Plain,
March 25 in the Piedmont, and
April 1 in the Mountains.
QUESTION: What is the cor.
rect feed for baby chicks just out
of the incubator?
ANSWER: Buttermilk or sour
skim milk are the best feeds for
chicks when they are firs; placed
unde-r the canopy, advise poultry
specialists of the State College Ex
tension Service. They should also
have access to dry mash and water.
Another good feed is cooked infet
tile eggs left over from the first
candling. Grain feed may be giv
en after the first seven to ten day.
The mash should be fed in hoppers
and placed near the source ofheat.
It is very essential that plenty of
mash hopper space be supplied so
that the chicks may eat all at the
same time.
QUESTION: Where should
fruit trees be located?
ANSWER: H. R. Niswonger,
Extension horticulturist of N. C.
State College, says that fruit trees
should fit in with the general plan
of landscaping and beautifying the
farm. Apple, charry, pear and
nut trees make excellent shade
trees when set in the rear of the
lawn or near corners of farm
buildings. The poultry yard or
the borders of the vegetable gard
en are good places for peach and
plum trees. Grape vines, trained
as arbors, make excellent screen
plants along the rear ' linj fence
for the lawn, or they may be
placed along the borders of the
garden.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS COST TAR
HEELS MORE THAN STATE SCHOOLS
"We Are Inclined to Look Upon the Cost Of
Highway Accidents Only In Terms of
Human Suffering and Death"
A TOLL OF MORE THAN $25,000,000
Traffic accidents cost North
Carolinians more money each year
than it costs to operate the entire
State-supported school system, Ro
nald Hocutt, director of the High
way Safety Division, stated thin
week.
"We are inclined to look upon
the cost of highway accidents only
in terms of human suffering, twist
ed limbs and horrible death, while
overlooking the economic uspect of
the accident picture," he said.
"Last year, for example, the eosi
of traffic accidents in North Car
olina reached upwards of $25,000,
000. This sum included all costs
of hospitalization, doctor' bills, re
pairs and replacement of damaged
vehicles, working time lost hy acci
dent victims, and an estimated val
uation of $5,000 placed on each
life list".
Traffic accidents cost North
Carolina industries a pretty penny,
too, Hocutt said, pointing out that

with their work is higher cnan that
in any other type of accident in
industry, and that the average
number of days lost as a result of
traffic accidents in industry is
greater than that in any other type
of accident.
"Yes, highway accidents cost
more than human suffering, tears
and anguish," the safety director
stated. "Accidents cost North
Carolinians many millions of dol
lars each year. And while it may
be true that much of this cost is
borne by insurance companies, we
all know that these companies are
not in business for their health,
nA the cost of these accidents ul
timately must be bourne by all pol
icy holders."
Hocutt said that if North Caroli

jtheir safety, consideration for their
pocketbook ought to prompt them
to drive more carefully.
