QUAKER GAP
FARMERS VIGILANT j
THEY ARE REAPING THE AD
VANTAGES OF THE SOU.
EROSION" PROGRAM
MEETING AT DANBURY
JULY 17.
Fanners in Quaker Gap town
ship have become erosion con
scious. Men living in this section
of the county are r.ot satisfied
to see their fields washed away
and are taking this summer as '•
season in which to build reu'
terraces on sdle fields. On the
farm of R. W. Mitchell the te*'
racing unit is now engaged in
constructing terraces on a large
acreage of land and in addition
will build farm roads on this,
farm. P. O. Frye started this |
work in his section sometime
ago and says he is well pleased
with the results acquired.
The suggestion is here givan
to farmers in this section who I
have not had occasion to see the'
!
terracing unit in operation to ;
drive over to the Mitchell farm
and get a better idea as to hov.'
real terraces are made.

to hear the Farm Bureau dis
cussed by Mr. Otis Kercher. who
is a prominent Indiana farmer
and a man who has cor.siderab'?
experience with and has a good
opportunity to observe the work
of the Bureau through which ]
farmers arrive at the solution of
many of their economic andj
social problems. The speaker was
for seventeen years a county
agent in Illinois. Has been presi
i
dent of the Illinois County
Agents Association. His message
should be of interest to local
farmers. He knows the Farm
Bureau.
The boys and girls 4-H Short
Course held annually at • the
State College in Raleigh starts
on July 22nd and runs througn

The boy or girl who has an op-j
portunity to attend this short j
course and accepts it will be for
tunate and will have something
of value ttid interest to tell his

this meeting are well cared for
by the farm and home agents
wbo are in attendance. They will i
be housed in the college dormi
tories and will have access *.o
the college hospital should there
be occasion for it. Parents need
have no fear as to whether the
welfare of the boys and girls
will be properly safe-guarded. In
most cases boys an j girls to at
tebd the short course should
have reached their fourteenth
birthday and it is important that

(AN EDITORIAL)
McDonald And His Inspiration
The love overtures now playing out of North
Carolina Republican headquarters into the
McDonald camp are very impressive.
These overtures are of course in acknowledg
ment of the McDonald gestures and in apprecia
tion of the McDonald inspiration.
The leaders of the Republican party in North
; Carolina are very intelligent and astute men
and women, and one would certainly vastly
underestimate their political perspicacity to
i believe they would be too dense to use the
I ammunition which Dr. McDonald has so
generously provided them with and which con
tinues to be manufactured for their benefit.
At the Winston-Salem rally of Young Re
publicans this week the expressions of sym
pathy, admiration, confidence, regrets, etc.. forj
:he Doctor were almost touching in their appeal.
One enthusiastic speaker declared that
"McDonald has been the greatest blessing that
has come to us." He added that this "machine"
which the Dr. has so "graphically pictured to u-'
crushes the very life out of the free will of the
people."
Another speaker said "there has never -been
a time when we have had so many breaks as the
Dr. has given us." i
It was urged that the great crowd who sup-.
ported McDonald, many of whom now still de- 1
elare they will do all thev can to defeat the'
Democratic nominee for Governor, be courted,
and coaxed into a combine of Republicanism!
land McDonaldism to deliver the State of North
Carolina to Republican rule.
As ?f in r. to "Sic him, Tige," the
Doctor launched another attack on the Demo-1
?ratic machine, declared the Hcey crowd had
;->tclen the election and demanded an mvp-ticra-,
|tion of a few dozen irregularities in a half dozen
counties.
Now since Dr. McDonald continues (ever/
{"in time of war") to render aid and comfort to
j common foe, he cannot of course be ap
i raised bv the organized Democracy (so-called
"the machine") other than as Political Enemvi
No. 1. * |
With this regard it will not generally be sup
posed that many of the thousands of Democratic
men and women who supported him sincerely in
the primary will feel disposed to follow him in
his efforts to defeat and humiliate the party that
they have so long supported and honored.
