i # i
as a voter who expects to partici
pate in the North Carolina Demo-j
era tic primary in June, the writer
seeks information as to just what is
Senator Simmons' attitude toward
the bill in question; and also why
the Committee , ol' which Senator
Simmons is the ranking Democratic
member, has not found the time
since last May, to report it out, al
though it did make a prompt and
favorable report on the tax refund
measure, for the wealthy? If the
veterans needed their money when
Mr. Brookhart introduced the bill,
ten months ago, they must have suf
fered greatly, during J%?it time.
ALL HEREFGRDS
AT CANEY FORK
J Raleigh, March 24?The farmers of
Cancy Fork township in Jackson
county have been working faithfully
under the leadership of their county
agent, C. W. Tilson, and local lead -
ers, It. C. Hunter and R. N. Heiiswn,'
for three years, to standardize the
'cattlei of that township. Since this
is strictly a mountain township and
best adapted to beef cattle, these
! people have adopted the Hereford (
breed oil beef cattle, and have been'
! striving to make it a solid Hereford
|tcv.u-.!;ip, in order to have cattle of'
one ty]?e and! uniformity to market. ?
In lr28 these farmers were breed-j
ijig to (i Herefords, one Shorthorn,
and two or three grade beef bulls;
and as a result of these bulls, the
cattle sold out of Caney Fork in the
i fall of 1928 nearly all broutrht ten1
'tents per pound| Their Hereford cat-i
tle sold so well that the final move
was to make Caney Fork all llere-j
ford. Mr. R. C. Hunter, KM La- ^
porte, a leading Shorthorn breeder,
for years, said he would put in a
good herd of Polled Herefords i L'
every cattle man and farmer in tin*
township would agree and use noth
ing but purebred Hereford bulls. One
of the best, vonng Hereford bulls
to be found was bought by Air.;
Hunter from Hickory Nut Gap;
Farm at Fairview, and ten choice,
cows and heifers were brought from,
one of the best herds in Illinois.:
Vance Hooper and Hutt Hooper,;
both owners of good, Polled Hereford;
bulls, bought two heifers each, along!
with Hunter's cattle from Illinois.;
This with the few purebred cows of;
Mr. J. L. Lovcdahl of Cowarts, has;
given them good foundation stock j
for keeping the township all Here-j
ford. j
When Luther Stevens and R. N.j
Henson bought the ninth Polled |
Hereford bull, the other day, for(
this large township, it was well snp-j
plied with beef sires. It was then.
decided that tho last trradc bull orj
bulll of any other breed should go.^
Mr.'li. C. Hunter and the county j
agent made ai visits on Maich 7 to^
the farms of the owners of the tour;
grade or scrub bul Its and made i
steers of them, after getting consent j
of the owners to breed their cows toj
the purebred Herefords in the com-1
munity. The last ofl tscrubs was|
located at Uncle Jim Cook's, after
a three mile walk up a mountain. It;
was feared that Uncle Jim would be;
unwilling to eliminate his scrub,
since he lives three miles troni the;
nearest farm house or purebred bull;
but the county agent and Mr. Hunt-j
er found Uncle Jim and his wife bv
the fire, one reading the Progressive
Farmer, and the other reading, the
Southern Agrieulturali.-t. Uncle Jim
had a good Shropshire ram, that the
county agent had selected foij.him,
at the head of his nied flo.V of
sheep; and Mrs. Cook has. a nice,
standard flock of Wyandotte hens.
After v) pleasant visit, the <attle
were inspected, and Unci* Jim had
three cows and a steer, agreeing to.
send his cows down the mountain, 3
miles to breed to a purebred Here
ford bull, and join with every man
in Caney Fork township, scrub free,,
and using no bulls except good, pure
bred Herefords.
It is believed that this is the first
township in any; section ol North
Carolina to be solidly one breed of
beef cattle. Jackson county led the
State in the Purebred Dairy Sires
Campaign in 1926. These dairy bulls
were placed up and down the. val
leys, where the farmers had and will
have good access to marketing the
milk and butter from dairy, cows.;.
And now an intensive drive is being
made to place all purebred beef,
bulls in the mountain sections, of the;
county.
WINTER COMES BACK
Old Kin? Winter, who has held
sway over Western North Carolina for
many moons, and whom it was-be
lieved had been succeeded on the
throne by gentle Spring, staged a
terrific conn* Sack, Tuesday
bitter winds,, accompanied by heavy
snow in the mountains, and ' light
snow in the valleys. Wednesday wa?
a cold and disagreeable one, and Wed
nesday night was a cold one. Fear
was expressed that the crop of young
peahes, apples, and other frotte
bed been killed.
THE WEEK
(By DAN TOMPKINS)
An advertiseemnt , presumably
I paid for by someone interested i"
the renomination of Senator Sim
mons, appeared in the Morgan ton
News Herald, .stating the one roz
lake the Senator )ha.s made in forty
years was in not supporting Govern
or Smith for the presidency, and
appealing to the Democrats of the
State not to punish him too severe
ly for that. U' Mr. Simmons has
made but one mistake in forty year*,
he is the marvel man of all agt^.
But, 1 wonder if Senator Simmons
would be willing to admit that fail
ure to support Governor Smith wa<
a mistake? If he feels about it as
docs his supporter who wrote the
advertisement, an<| would, himself,
make such a public declaration, it
would do much to clarify .the politi
cal atmosphere in the South.
?Judge John .1. Parker, of. Char
lotte, has been appointed to the Su
preme Court bench by President
Hoover. His appointment was haile
with pleaasurc b\ all North Caro
lina. Of course, as a matter of State
pride, we are all happy at.Parker's
appointment; but we have always
copceived the Supreme Court as
the cream of the very best legal abil
ity that tho country affords, and
can but ask ourselves the question
whether Judge Parker measures op.
to that high standard.
By a 53-31 vote, the Senate pass
ed the ilawley-Smoot ?? tariff '?.biMt
with 1,253 amendments to it, as il
was passed by th e House. It now
goes to conference. Tariff has been
the rock upon which many a politi
cal career has been wreckedr and un
less all signs fail, it will_ prove s<n.
agaiu. There is a general onreat
among the people, comparable only
to that which overthrew the Taft. ad
ministration in 1912J There is this
