FACTS ABOUT THE
WHEAT SITUATION
Meeting At Danbury Next Satur
day To Acquaint the Farmers
\V..\i the Government Regula
tions
TO ALL MILLERS, THRESHERS
AND COMBINERS
Gentlemen:
A recent law enacted by the
Congress of the United States has
caused marketing quotas to be
set up for all farms harvesting;
wheat for 1941 and a penalty of |
49 cents per bushel for excess
wheat harvested, this penalty to
be collected by the Secretary of
Agriculture from the producer of
!tbe wheat or from the miller, or
buyer of the wheat.
This means that threshers,
combiners and millers will oe re
quired to keep a record of all toil
| wheat accepted by them in lieu of
leash and they will be required to
nay the penalty on such toll if the
producer in question is not in
possession of a marketing card at
the time the toll is accepted.
To the person who has not
| studied the regulations pertain
ing to wheat quotas this would
seem rather complicated, but the
I Department of Agriculture, work
ling through State and county of
fices, is trying to miminize this
work for you gentlemen and is
making every effort to place as
much of the work as possible on
committeemen, all of whom duly
elected by members of the Coun
ty Agricultural Conservation As-
I sociation.
In order that you may become
thoroughly acquainted with the
part you are to play in the collec
tion of these penalties and with
the forms with which you will be
expected to work, the County
Committee and County Agent arc
arranging a meeting to be held at
the courtbc&se in Danbury, at
9:30 a. m., cm next Saturday, June
21, 1941.
There is not a single producer
in the county known to the com
mittee who will have to pay pen
alty, but the law requires that
certain formalities be gone
through with and we hope that
you will be able to attend this
meeting, bringing ■wfrtlh you any
interested people and giving the
i proper publicity to the meeting in
| order that any interested farm
ers who wish to do so may attend.
The committee feels that this
|is an important meeting for you
and for wheat producers of the
county and feels that it is your
duty to attend and acquaint
yourselves with the facts con
cerning the wheat situation.
Very truly yours,
L. F. BRUMFIELD,
Sec. Stokes County AAA.

THE "SUPERIOR RACE"
The gratuitous insult to the intelligence of the 1
readers of the Winston-Salem Journal, as offer-1
ed by one Waverly Rudisill in a recent issue of
the journal, should not go unanswered.
Rudisill writes as follows:
"The ungratefulness of Christian America for •
Christianity is alarming.
"Martin Luther, the founder of Protestantism,
was a German and lived in Germany and from
Germany gave the world Christ. The German
people have done more to keep Christ alive in
the world than any other people."
One of the favorite ruses of Hitler's propagan
dists like Dr. Schallert and Mr. Rudisill is to
masquerade in the cloak of religion. i
When Rudisill says the Germans gave the
world Christ and has done more to keep Him in
the world than any other people, he makes a,
statement that would be laughable did it not'
concern a sacred subject.
We speak of Hitlerite Germans —and this
means all Germans everywhere who are know
ingly backing Hitler and his crimes. They are
the most brutal and bloodthirsty people of any
modern civilized state.
They are a Godless people. Their only God is
"Fuehrer, my fuehrer."
For generations the German schools have
taught atheism. The present generations of
Germany do not believe in anything except force
and blood.
This wolf tendency they probably inherited
from their distinguished ancestor Atilla and his
hordes, who came across swimming icy rivers
with knives in their teeth, gorging on raw fats
and even drinking the blood of their victims.
They massacred most of Germany and France.
They have been taught to regard themselves a
superior race and are therefore the world's most
egotistical people. They are superior of course
only in the race's most barbaric instincts.
No other rulers in the world are so dishonest
and treacherous as the war lords of the Reich.
Their promises are regarded in all countries as
false as dicers' oaths. It was left for them to
show the world that a solemn treaty is only a
"scrap of paper."
In the century before Martin Luther was bom,
John Wyclif, the English reformer and Bible
translator, started the fires of the Reformation
burning. John Calvin the Frenchman and John
Knox the Scotchman were contemporaries of
Luther and had as much to do with the Reforma
tion as Luther.
In England and Scotland the Christian religion
lived and flourished. In Germany it died at the
hands of the "superior race."
The most the Hitlerite Germans have achieved
in the world is blood and tears. Their literature
is not to be compared with England's. In ma
terial things for the advancement of society they
fall amazing-ly short. Americans produced the
steamboat, the English the steam engine and the
tank. Americans invented the principle of elec
tricity, the electric light, the airplane, the trac
tor, the armed battleship, the telephone; the
'ltalians produced the wireless telegraph.
But it may be said in behalf of German ingen
uity that they improved many of these things
for the mass murder of defenseless women and
children.
