Nazi Germany is as incongruous as
(he story that was going the rounds,
a few years back, about the baseball
game that was to be played between
the Ku Klux Klan and the Knights
of Columbus for the benefit of the
Jewish Relief, with a Negro Umpire
calling the game.
The Russo-German treaty has at
least brought the peoples of the Democratic
countries nearer together and
made them more loyal to their governments,
has brought the Democratic
governments closer together, has
upset the entire government and
policy of Japan, practically alienated
Spain from the axis, and driven
a wedge into the axis itself, for the
Italian people have no stomach for
an alliance witk the Red Russian.

In the death of J. E. Rogers, Jackson
county lost one of her most honored
and useful citizens. A man with
a head full of common sense, a profound
philosophy, and an eye single
to the good of his community, county,
State and country, Mr. Rogers
played no small part in making Jackson
county. He had firm convictions
and the courage to stand by them.
He made his impress upon the county
as a private citizen and as an official,
on the Board of Education.

Sensibilities Left I
There was a near riot in Raleigh, I
the other day, over the fate of a mon- I
grel pup. Showing that people have I
sensibilities left, even in this topsy- I
turvy world beset with fears and I
hates. I
It is hard to get the real facts froir. I
newspaper reports; but according to I
them, a plain-clothes policeman call- I
el a puppy to him, and when the!
pup, cringing and wagging his I
his tail, got near enough, th I
officer grabbed him by the collar I
teat him to death with a blackjack!
and left him lying in the gutter on I
Fayetteville Street. This was in the I
midst of the shopping hour, and a I
crowd quickly gathered, threatening!
the officer, who hastily retreated. I
Women screamed, one suffered a I
serious heart attack, others fainted I
and cursed. As the news spread the I
shops were emptied of ^customers I
and clerks as well. The angry crowd I
staged a near riot, and one State Col- I
lege athlete offered to whip all the!
policemen in town, two at a time.
Telephone calls were coming in to
Chamber of Commerce and pity officials,
demanding the punishment
o\ the offending officer, and women
from nearby towns telephoned the
officers that unless summary punishment
was immediately forthcoming,
they would withdraw all trade from
Raleigh shops. i
The officer, in his own behalf, told
superiors that he had been sent to
capture the dog, and that when he
took hold, the animal tried to bite
him, forcing him to strike in selfdefense.
However, th&t may be, the point
in the story as we see it, is the North
Carolina people, take them by and
are people with humane and
refined sensibilities, and will not
stand idly by and see a wonton cruelty
perpetrated, even upon a mongrel
pup. , ]

Agreement Without
Faith
The development iri world affairs
at has set the nations on their ears,
the announcement of non-aggreson
agreement between Soviet Rtisa
and Ntei Germany.
For months the French and Brith
have led the world to believe that
he negotiations going on in the Rusian
capital would soon lead to 'a
reaty whereby the Soviet UHion
ould become a powerful member of
ic Democrats league to enforce
eace.
Meantime Russian and Japan have
een waging a small-time warfare
long the border in Asia. Russia has
?een backing up the Chinese nationlists
with munitions and planes; and
rapan has generally been considered
s a member of the Berlin-RomePokyo
axis, opposing England, France
nd Russia, with an eye ever m.
imerica as a potential opponent of
ier imperalistic and expansionist
dans in the Orient.
Russia and Germany have been
raditional enemies. In fact Hitler
irst came to power by leading Gernan
opposition to Russia and Communism,
and it is upon such opposition
that his party is largely based.
The Spanish civil war, recently closed,
was really a war waged between
Russia as an ally of the Spanish communists
on the one side and Germany
and Italy on the other.
Now, in the face of the impending
crisis over Danzig and the Polish
corridor, with the King of the Belgiums
calling a conference of the
smaller European powers to meet
and attempt to avert the disaster of
war, there unexpectedly comes the
announcement of the Russian-German
treaty. It may mean nothing at
all, and it may be the deciding factor
that will give the totalitarianists the
upper hand in the beset world, with
the democracies standing helplessly
by as their world crumbles before
their eyes and' the new anti-Christ
ascends the throne.
There is a great deal to be taken
into consideration. Japan has obviously
been playing the Italio-German
game in the Orient, thereby hoping
to carry out the nefarious designs
of her military expansionists: And,
the forces of which she is most afraid
are Russia, first, then England, then
America. She counted heavily upon
the Italians and the Germans to keep
England and France busy with
European affairs, and Russia sufficiently
on guard to be afraid tc
engage her, while Americans debated
over the policy of isolation.
* *
The Russian-German treaty leaves
Japan decidedly out on a limb, as it
leaves Russia free to oppose Japan
in any way she sees fit, and the Japanese
militarists evince keen disappointment
over the eventuality.
On the other hand, it helps Japan
in that it of necessity forces England
tc keep more of her sea and land
power close home, thus relieving the
British pressure on the Nipponese.
It shifts a much heavier burden
upon England and France, if they
hope to oppose Germany in European
expansion; a burden which there u
grave doubt of their ability to carry
if they can't count on some assistance
from the Soviets.
But, can Germany and Russia trusl
Uach other? It is true that they arc
I joth totalitarian states, and the treat)
lS somewhat in the nature of a wedling
of totalitarianism. But, the oni
epresents Communism and the othr
National Socialism, two distinct
:nd antagonistic brands of totalitaranism.
I Both nations are notorious for gong
back upon their pledged word
whenever it suits the ambitions of
.heir leaders. Nobody outside o;
Germany would put the slightesl
Taith in any treaty to which Hitler
or Stalin would put his name. Both
of them have gone back on their word
and their friends, both inside and
outside their own countries on sc
manv occasions, that the pledged
vord of either is not worth the paper
ipon which it is written.
Hitler knows all this about Stalin
and Stalin knows it about Hitler. So
won't the treaty lead to intensification
of spying one upon the other tc
;uch an extent that the treaty wil
break down of its own accord?
It suits these two to agree to i
treaty today. Perhaps, next weel
& ae or the other will find it expedien'
to throw in with somebody else.
If the treaty of totalitarianism results
in the democracies being shunted
aside while the dictatorships gob
ble up whatever they desire, it i
reasonable to suppose that sooner 01
later this unnatural alliance wil
break up, and the Communists' anc
National Socialists will again be a
each other's throat
Events move so rapidly these days
that even the brightest minds ant
best informed are unable to keep uj

THE JACKSON COUNTY JOURNA
Hay Should Be Cut
At "JUst Right Time" fl
H? % i
No phase of farming requires bet- }
ter timing than the cutting of hay, j
says John A. Arey, dairy specialist 3
of the State College Extension Ser- j
vice. Hay is one of the best and most j
economical feeds for dairy cows, but j
'much of the hay being fed in North
/" owOin* i? nf low atialitv. and has a
VdiVU'-TI W ~ ? " "? "
correspondingly low nutritive value,
Arey added.
The proper time to cut hay crops ?
is when the greatest quantity of digestible
nutrients can be obtained.
With most crops, the percentage * of
leafiness and protein content are
highest soon after the plant begins
to bloom. A little later the protein
moves toward the seed, the stems
become woody, and the leaves next
to the ground begin to fall, the specialist
explained.
; ( The best time to cut alfalfa is when
the crop is from one-tenth to onej
fourth in bloom; lespedeza, when the
J crop is about one-half in bloom; soy'
beans, when the pods are wellformed
and the seed are about onehalf
developed cowpeas, when the
first pods begn to yellow; and smull
grain crops such as wheat, barley,
and oats, when in late bloom or the
early milk stage.
The grasses, such as timothy, redtop,
and orchard grass, should be cut
in the early bloom stage. The blooming
period of these grasses is short
onri o fnw H.nvc HHav in cutting may

result "in a coarse, stemmy, unpalatible
hay.
Arey said that weeds and other
nreign materials is usually the result
;i apoor stand of hay crops. Heavy
needing, therefore, is one of the first
essentials in producing good hay.
Thin stands promote a growth of a
coarse stemmed hay in which there is
a high percentage of waste when it
is fed.
