Washington, Dec. 16.?President I
Roosevelt's speech before the Farm!
Bureau Federation has served to J
focus attention sharply upon the I
clear-cut fact that the battle-!
ground of the Presidential cam-1
paign of 1936 will be in the agricul-1
tural West. Mr. Roosevelt, in ef-l
feet, challenged the Republicans to I
offer a substitute for the AAA. I
which would be equally satisfactory!
to the farmers between the Mississ-j
ippi and the Rocky Mountains. No!
one qualified to speak for the Op-J
position has yet offered any such!
program. The feeling grows here!
however, that the Republican's!
answer to Mr. Roosevelt's chal-j
lenge will come from the West and!
not from the East, when it does!
come.
Senator's Borah's radio speech,!
in which he criticized sharply the I
conservative Eastern wing of tne
Party, is regarded as not so much
an expression of the Senator's own
desire to be the Republican candidate
as it was an effort to rally
the progressive thought of the West
into a solid front, which can dictate
the Party's agricultural policies. It
is also interpreted as a backhanded
slap at Mr. Hoover's leadership.
G. O. P. Strategy
Whether or not the line of cleavage
between Eastern and Western
wings of the Republican Party will
amount to anything more serious
than the customary fight for organization
control remains to be
seen. Experienced political observers
here, however, are swinging strongly
to the opinion that considerations
of political strategy will fores
the Party to pick its candidate from
somewhere west of the Mississippi
and east of the Rockies.
That would eliminate Mr. Hoover
on the West, and Col. Knox and
Senator Vandeberg on the East,
ioavintr the contest, so far as visl
ble candidates now in the field are
concerned, to Senator Borah, Gov.
Landon, and Senator Dickinson of
Iowa. Few are found who believe
that Mr. Borah seriously expects to
be the nominee. That leaves Governor
Landon as the rising star of
the moment.
Congress A Factor
There is no end to the possible
complications affecting next year's
campaign which may develop from
the action of Congress, which
meets now in the matter of only a
couple of weeks. The temper ex=

hlbited by returning Senators and
Members can best be described as
"rambunctious." They are going to
put up a fight for every measure
that has votes in it.
Out of the 531 Legislators on
whose terms don't expire in 193d
Capitol Hill there are only 64
Those are the 64 Senators whose
terms run to 1938 and 1940. One
third of the Senators and all of the
Representatives must run for reelection
next November if the.,
want to come back. That makes
for a situation in which every organized
raid on the Treasury which
has important voting strength behind
it will find support. Veterans
Bonus, Townsend Plan, "Soak-theRich"
tax schemes, the FrazierLemke
Farm Mortgage Refinancing
bill, and almost anything that
organized labor is solidly behind
will provide at least a chance for
the boys to go on record, whether
or not they succeed in enacting an>
of these and other projects into law
The signs are that opposition
from the White House to all such
drafts on the public purse will be
more stubborn than in the past
There is no inclination here to question
the genuiness of Mr. Roosevelt's
desire to cut Government expenses
and make at least a stef
towards balancing the budget. He

All Farmers Need
To Keep Record
Farmers who do not keep re
ords are unable to tell just whe
they stand.
They may think they are ma1
ing a profit when, actually, th
; are losing money, said R. E.
Greene, assistant in farm manag
ment research for the N. C. Agi
1 cultural Experiment Station.
Running a, business without re
ords, it has been said, is like nr
1 ning a clock without hands. :
either case, the thing is running
' but where and how?
Farm records, Greene pointed 01

Although records may be start
I at any time, it Is usually more co
i venient to start them early in Ja

supplies are low and it is easy

are not as busy at this time as th
are later on.

the first of the year. N.C. State College
has designed a record book
especially for the North Carolina
farmer and it will be an aid to
keeping the proper kind of records,
he added.
Copies of the book may be secured
from the Department of Agricultural
Economics, at State College,
by those persons keeping
records as a demonstration with
that department.

Thin Out Pines To
Speed Tree Growth
Thinning out an overcrowded
stand of pine trees will pay big
dividends in the long run.
1 Removing the dead, crippled, and
overcrowded trees leaves the potential
timber to develop properly in
the shortest possible time.
Rufus H. Page, Jr., assistant extension
forester at State College,
has pointed out a stand of pine
on the farm of K. C. Woodard in
Johnston County as a good example
of what thinning will do for
I a timber tract. j
The trees in Woodard's stand are j
of approximately the same age.
Five years ago he thinned one-third (
, of his stand. Two years ago he ]
Is thinned another third, leaving the *
remaining third untouched,
c- In the area first thinned are many
re trees 10 inches in diameter at
breast height, Page said. In the
second area are only a few trees
ey which will measure that size.
?, In the untouched part of the timc.
ber stand, none of the trees have
i- attained a diameter of 10 inches
at breast height, and many of them
c_ are less than half the average
n_ diameter of the trees in the two
jjj stands which have been thinned.
The inferior trees removed from
the stand in the thinning process
were cut into cordwood which was!
jy worth far more than the cost of
n_ the work, Page said.
m And the better trees were left to
ey grew into valuable timber which
r?5 will bring Woodard a good profit
IJS in a few year*. ]
"If you don't think that things
ning pays," Page remarked, "just
n. ask any of the Johnston County
n. farmers who have seen Woodard's
