PAGE 6 [' BRUCE J BARTONI Says: j Two Sides To Story The publisher of a newspaper got from Washington toe salaries of some of the local commuters and published them on his front page. The wife of one of these publicized gentlemen telephoned the drug gist a lew aays later w wua owuu soap. She was offered an Imported product at a fancy price. She said she did not want to pay any such price, Whereupon the merchant answered: With a salary as big as your husband draws, what do you care what you pay?" The lady replied in no uncertain terms that her husband's salary was none of the merchant's busi- , ness, and that one more wise crack along those lines would cause her to close her account which has been profitable to him for fifteen years. Thousands of stories counld be told about the broadcasting of salaries as disclosed on income tax ?Osvwtn Af thom oro hlimPN ICIllUXU. OUUiC V> vuvu< mv ous, many tragic. Whether the practice will be continued, no one can tell but it should not be. Deep down in the worst part of human nature is a love of peeking through key-holes, spying under window shades, and reading other : folks' mail. If salaries are going to be published, why doesn't Big Business , publish them first, and publish taxes with them? A salary of $100,000 evokes the widespread comment that "no man can possibly be worth so much." But the figures take on a different aspect if they are published in this form: Salary $100,000; Federal state and local taxes, $65,000, net to president, $35,000. I was talking the other night) with a man whose published salary is $225,000. He said that his brothers and sisters wonder why he doesn't send each of them a Roils Royce. "But when I have paid my taxes I have $90,000 left," he said, "and when I have taken care of : my thirty-four (dependants I am just about as well off as I was ] when I was making a $100 a week." , Do We Out-Smart Ourselves? ( We were chatting about the j steady rise of a seemingly slowminded man we both kno. "The case hinged on the testi- | mony of one witness, a weather , beaten country doctor. The smart , young lawyer on the other side questioned him briskly about an i obscure point of physiology, and J the poor old fellow floundered. The smooth lawyer could not hide his pleasure. It was obvious thai) he expected the doctor's halting per- , formanoe to cast doubt on all the i claims of his opponent. He rubbed , his hands, and made it clear that he toad the verdict in the bag. j "But in the jury room," my friend , said, "our first vote showed that the smart young lawyer had lost. ] Not one of us jurors said a word, but here is what we thought .... That country doctor has worn away his life, driving through blisartfs to attend sick mothers and braving floods to bring babies ( Into the world. Day and night he has toiled, often with no hope of ; any pay. His book knowledge on i the point at issue was back of him i a quarter of a century, maybe. The : The smart young lawyer had un- i doubedly been boning up on the : subject the night before. "Two things we knew, however? that the doctor had been trying The M j Quality ] WHITES GC Warren ton, N to give ihonest evidence, and that the lawyer had been trying to outsmart the doctor and pull the wool over the jurors' eyes. The smart lawyer probably never knew why he lost the case. Presumably he learned nothing from it. But 1 learned this," my friend concluded, "there is such a thing as being so smartTfchat you outsmart yourself." He thought a minute, and then added: "Perhaps that is one reason why a lot of us go ahead so fast in our twenties, and then hit the toboggan when we ought still to be on our way up." Farm Questions And Answers Question: How soon should sexes be separated in growing chicks? Answer: The separation should be made as soon as the males and females can be determined. With the Leghorns this can be determined in from four to six weeks and from seven to nine weeks with tile American breeds. As the chicks grow, more floor space is required and unless this is provided the chicks will begin toe picking and feather pulling. When the chicks are overcrowded they are much more subject to disease and develop more siowiy. Question: Will cotton seed treated now with Ceresan keep until planting time? Answer: Yes. Ceresan is harmless to cotton seed and they may be treated now and stored until planting time. This treatment will also prevent and further trouble from contaminated sacks, bins, or from the planters. Be sure and use three ounces of the fungicide to each bushel of seed and mix thoroughly in tire container before storing. Seed not needed for planting should be disposed of in some way as treated seed are unfit for feeding purposes. Question: What spacing should be given a new planting of dew berries? Answer: The plants should be set from four to five feet apart in Droce fho cnil rows Six ictry iipivit. a.-.*, v?u firmly against the roots and cut back to two or three buds. The canes should be allowed to sprawl on he ground during the first growing season, but should be tied to stakes or trained on a two-wire trellis before growth starts the following spring. Newly set plants should be fertilized with stable manure or a tablespoonful of nitrate of soda.

Farm Program Is * * i i n i i _i__ __ neaaea oy nuison The new soil improvement) program will be administered under a different set-up than that of the Did AAA. Instead of commodity divisions for the various basic crops, there are five regions into which the United States has been divided. Each region will handle all crops in its territory. North Carolina is in the East Central Region, which has been placed in charge of J. B. Hutson, former chief of the AAA tobacco section. "We who have seen the successful way in which Mr. Hutson conducted the tobacco program under the old AAA are particularly gratified over his appointment as dir CUIUX W tMawn tainty connected with baking your first cakes, pies and muffins? Remember the times you've wanted to tear away from the kitchen while an important oven roast was clamoring for frequent "look-ins"? Well, with the debut of miracle cookery and the new automatic electric range, the "rock, shoals and rapids" encountered in old time cookery are entirely forgotten. Cooking now is established on a scientific, efficient our interest at heart, and he has demonstrated his ability to get things done.,, The new program is like the old AAA in some respects, however, the dean pointed out. It will be administered by the State College agricultural extension service and its corps of county agents. At the same time, much of the program will be handled by comunity, county, and state comittees composed of farmers. The state committee, to be made up of representative farmers from each section of the State, will have a voice in determining many matters of policy. The county committees will be in charge of local administrative I..A1 ^mthtyou/i ^^SoT^pv^hef WARRENTON Hight Grocery Company Burroughs Grocery Company W. R Lancaster i W. A. Miles Hardware Co. W. H.
