TEXT Short Items Os General Interest i Millions of menhadden fish, us •d mostly in the manufacture of fertilizer, blocked the channel at Topsail Sound near Southport last week. Fishermen estimate that S3OO 000 worth of fish were killed by ships when them beame so thick j that ship could not get through.! Oldest inhabitants of that section i could recall no such episode before. ! I Senator George L. Berry of Tenn essee, one of the most ardent sup porters of the New Deal, has brought suit against the Tennessee Valley Authority (one of the New Deals best loved pets) charging that the TVA has “robbed” him of valuable property, in that water raised by some of the dams has inundated valuable marble quarries Attorneys for TVA charged in re turn that the property was not ve ry valuable and that anyway the Senator bought it just so he could I sue the government for damages, j The Leviathan, for years the j flagship of the U. S. Merchant . marine, has been sold to a British j salvage company for junk. The ; price was SBOO,OOO. Built in Ger many before the war and christen ed the Vaterland, the ship was seized by the U. S. government dur ing the war and converted into a troop transport. Later it was re worked and was the finest passen ger liner afloat. It was original coast was about ten million dollars The U. S. government spent six mil lion on it, paid Germany nearly $17,000,000 for it and finally sold it to the subsidized the U. S. ship ping Board. Bellows Falls, Vermont, is in voking century old “blue laws” for Sababth observance. Ancient sta tutes require men going to church on Sunday to carry firearms to protect the women from Indians, and last Sunday the streets of the Vermont village saw men wending their way to church with guns on their shoulders. Other laws prohib it riding, selling or any kind of merchandise, kissing one’s wife in public, etc. The prosecuting attor ney of that district is enforcing the laws in order to get them re pealed. President Roosevelt is not im mune to toothache. His fishing trip in the tropical Atlantic was cancel ed because of an infected jaw. There is some reason for believing that he hurried back to Washington because of the snarl into which his farm and v/age-hour legislation had fallen, but he denies it and says that he merely wanted to get bak his own dentist so his jaw could be looked after properly.

It’s better business to put fer- I tility in the ground and keep it j there until it can grow crops at a profit than it is to “mine” the | earth of its plant food and sell it ,at a loss.

Ever since the civil war there has been continuing effort to get giowers away from the 1-crop idea North Carolina has responded dur ing the past two decades and if oth er states would follow suit the problem would be much less. That the problem is not new is indicated by reference to Sidney Lanier’s poems. Away back in 1870 he wrote a dialect poem “Jones’ Private Argyment,” which deals with exactly the same worry that confronts us now. He pictures a Georgia cotton farmer riding home from town where he has heard and engaged in lots of talk about diver sified farming and less cotton. The old man is driving along talking to himself: And presently says he: Hit’s true That Clisby’s head is level. Thar’s one thing farmers all must do To keep themselves from goin’ tew Bankruptcy and the devil! “More com! More corn! Must plant less ground And musn’t eat what’s boughten! Next year they’ll do it: reasoning sound: (And, cotton will fetch ’bout a dol lar a pound), Therefore, I’ll plant ALL cotton!” Watch for Hocutts Grocery Store Christmas Dinner Ad Next Week.
