Boyc 1931 Wuraiton, 1 WHY W Why Stars Are Sup] By MEHRAN K. THOMPSON, 1 Human jiiiniiuLiiiiininiii iinniniini.iniiii "Do the stars do it?" inquires a ; correspondent. She wants to know if our acts are caused by the stars s and other heavenly bodies, and if ' there is anything in the occult science of astrology and the read ! ing of horoscopes. This is a very interesting subi ject. Astrology is perhaps the oldi est attempt at science and was not i distinguished from astronomy until modern times. It dates back to about 300 B. C. and was given to the world by the ancient Babylonians. At first the stars were read for kings and nations. They were supposed to have some connection with their destiny. Gradually it came to have significance for individuals and the reading of horoscopes became popular. We often speak of being "moon struck" and refer to an insane person as luny or a lunatic and the institutions which care for the demented as lunatic asylums. Of course the word lunatic comes from luna, meaning moon. This shows the effect of astrology and the notion that the sun and moon and planets as well as the stars have a let to do with human conduct and effect human being for better or for worse. In many many countries the heavenly bodies were worshipped as gods. The warmth of the sun, so essential to animal and plant life r Vocational Agi By R. H. Teacher of Agriculture John G: v. For many years it has seemed to he the concensus of opinion that more feed should be raised by the Southern farmers for the livestock they have and for an incr?ase in the livestock population. This idea fits in with the program which has oeen pushed for many months by the agricultural leaders of the Southern States to encourage the production of more and cheaper feed on the farm. riotc Viovn otroovs hppn one of the Wtt Vk> 4*MTV Mail WW. ? neglected crops in the South, but on account of the climatic and I other favorable conditions, it should be a very profitable crop. The agricultural experiment stations have found and have demonstrated that by the proper use of complete fertilizers the oat crop may be produced with considerable profit.

North Carolina ?iiiiiiinnum?HHiiiiii<iiiiiiniiiii)int E DO IT I posed To Control Us Ph. D., Author of "The Spring1 of Action" was easy to see and from that to argue that the other heavenly bodies must also be connected with man's destiny. The true causal relationship between man and his environment had not yet been worked out. Moreover, from the very beginning, man has had need of a scrape goat to ease his conscience and save his ego from humiliating defeats. One might just as well blame the stars for his failures as anything else If you had hard luck you were born at the wrong time under the wicng star or unfavorable conditions of the stars relative to each other. If you were unusually successful you were born under a lucky star. This is the type of fatalism that men have always found handy. What will be will be. Our future is all sealed and settled for us. This attitude relieves one of responsiI bility and considerable worry. The I fatalist seldom develops an inferior| ity complex. ' No the stars have nothing to ao with our destiny. Many continue to have their horoscopes read just for the fun of it as they might go to fortune tellers. Others are superstitious and primitive enough to get satisfaction in shifting the blame for their falures on the stars just as the ancients used to do. ? "icultural News BRIGHT raham High School, Warrenton j generally recommended ranges from 100 to 250 pounds per acre, depending upon the fertility of the soil on which the cats are sown. This application should be made when the weather is favorable for new growth. In case the fall sown oats are a partial failure or it is realized that more feed is needed, the farmers have a chance to sow spring oats to supplement any lack of feed they may need. As a rule spring sown oats should receive an application of from 400 to 600 pounds of a high analysis fertilizer before the crop is sown. In case enough nitrogen was not used when the crop was sown, an application of from 100 to 200 pounds of soluble nitrogen will give greatly increased yields. Plan to make your feed crops this year and?proper fertilization will increase the yield and, of course, the profits.

Our problem is to plan a program which will last over a period of years, the question is not what we can make this year, but what can we make over a period of years? And this is where we are falling down. Prom 1927 to 1930, inclusive, the farmers in this county lest an average of .58 Der acre in the production of cotton, $2.27 per acre on corn, and $:'.98 per acre on wheat. This plainly shows that our land is not pro ducing as much per acre as it should. And this is a result of a one system of farming. Now we turn to the bright side of our farming program and find a profitable crop. The following crops showed profits per acre as follows: Oats $3.08, barley $5.40, hay $3.00, soy beans $12.74, Irish potatoes $36.00, sweet potatoes | $43.00, 100 hens $48.88, dairy cc<ws producing 5000 pounds of milk $20.00, swine 250 lb hog $4.43, tobacco $17.81, peanuts $8.28.

The legislature is composed of a lot of mighty fine fellows. They're chaps who are kind-hearted sympathetic, generous and considerate. They are anxious to please the people of the State and want to do the right thing. Somebody makes the suggestion that the Dower in terests ought to be taxefl. What happens? A regular army of lobbyists descends upon Raleigh and proves convincingly and conclusively that the power companies are just about on the verge of starvation. The legislators listen to the presentation of facts, wipe the tears out of their eyes and decide that in view of circumstances probably it would be best not to impose any additional tax on the power people. Somebody else makes the suggestion that we ought to have a sales tax. Thirty-eight thousand merchants immediately have a stroke of apoplexy, seventeen thousand die cf shortness of breath and several thousand others develop serious cases of the rabies. Then comes the proposal to tax moving pictures, and every theatre operator gees to Raleigh and displays figures which prove that not a penny has been made in the theatre business since 1786. When bills are suggested for taxing barbers, bottlers, fish-dealers, chiropodists and bootleggers, representatives of these professions immediately run to Raleigh and succeed in blocking any such move. Then somebody introduces a bill to put another tax on the farmer. It is given publicity through the newspapers. Members of the legislature hold their breaths. They gaze at visitors in the hotels but fail to discern a single farmer among them. They spot all kinds of lobbyists but nary a farmer-lobbyist. A huge sigh of relief is released. "Maybe it's best to put on that kind of a tax after all," says Mr. Legislator. And the bill is passed with ve>y little opposition. Along with learning how to live at home, the farmer ought to learn how to do a lirtle lobbying.

[en opportunity for every 3ee it. Warren too, North Carolina South Carolina visited the legislature in Raleigh last week and made a talk to the senators and representatives. He advised the legislators to visit other States and get new ideas. Judging from some of the bills that have been introduced in Raleigh thus far, they've already got too many ideas up there. If they get any more, the chances are that the whole State will go broke. One hundred and fifty representatives of county government and county road boards met in Raleigh last week to declare open war on Governor Gardner's highway program. If the Governor were to make a speech saying that he hoped for fair weather on the Fourth of July, there'd be a delegation in Raleigh before the week was out to declare open war on any such a proposition. A good many of the counties want to see the extra tax placed on gasoline, but they want to handle the expenditure cf funds. Whenever it comes to paying out money, they're willing for the State to do it, but when it comes to spending it, they want to do it themselves. Besides, if the State were to control maintenance of county roads, members of the board of commissioners, road boards and other county officials wouldn't be absolutely guaranteed that the highways in front of their respective places of abode would be given attention first. It looks as though the proposal to cut salaries of Dublic workers 10 per cent is going to meet with considerable opposition. The same .is true of some of the other recommendations that the Governor made in his message. Max may be a good Governor, but he's a sorry diplomat. He ought to knew our folks well enough by this time to realize that there is a right and wrong way to handle them. What he ought to have done?at the time he delivered his message ?was to advocate an increase of 25 per cent in salaries of public workers, turning over all the roads to the counties, adding a 10 per cent raise to all property taxes and letting the State Prison operate as it has been operated in the past. The legislators would have listened to the message and then would have swung into action.

Instead of increasing salaries 25 per cent, they would have cut them; instead of permitting the counties to maintain the roads, they would have tried to solve it. Everything would have been pretty and everybody would have been satisfied. A legislature is never satisfied unless it thinks it has put something over on a Governor. The situation is similar to that which prevails between the average husband and , v/ife. If the husband expresses a certain opinion, the wife feels that shfi is in Hnfcv hrmnri f-.n HisacrAA with him. As socn as the husband ascertains this little factj, he is able to handle the situation diplofatically. Seems to me that Max has been married long enough to have found this out for himself and that he ought to be able to apply the same theory in handling the Legislature. Can Send Written .
