December 26. 1928 It is not enough to be industrious: so are the ant. What are you in- ? dofctroos about? ? THOREAU 1928-1929 Soon 1928 will be numbered among the has-beens. and you ulll be wrtt M^g it 1929? !f you. do not forget it. What has 1928 meant to you. or, it tv.iftht be better to' -*>< ,-vyhat have you meant to humanity in 1928?" To many rt brought health, prosperity and hapiness. while to other? it lias .brought sadness and sorrow:, for the ? white horses" have stopped at many homes, and there Is a vacancy, there, which can only be healed* by time. "As a whole it dealt well with this rrctiO!*.' Y*r 'here- have beejj no." ser ious scourges arid* \Vhilc crops -v v Pot rLs abundant we ^o?W Have A>bed. stljl; it- might -'have been much v*ne. True/ many - crops were in a ? ?? , ? ? enjoyed the best crops they have had in 'many years. But we cah not meas ure happiness ui dollars and cents. Many think if they only hea'd wealth ?hev would be happy rbufwe dare: sayv: there is more real happiness in the ; family itmn there is in the average millionaire's home, for money ran not buy happiness. The happy inan if- the contented man. and - no man who has his heart set on wealth as ever contented, for if he gains a million, he immediately sets his heart on. becoming a miiltt-n^yionalre, and rhases the dollars even harder than ;>e did in the beginning. But what is writ is writ as far as* 1928 is concerned, for there are only ^ a few days left pf i.t . However, there /is yet time to do 'one thing, and that one thing 'may mean ; hip tligsreng.i between happiness and misery. If you hay f aught against any one. even though he may have t re?: ted you shamefully, have, the coura:7 go to him and apologize for your part in the disagreement., and spe if yoix can not again bneome friends. Life is too short to harbor grudges, and there is no better time to right such matters fhan on this" gladsome Christmas time. . It is a dangerous thing to nurse malice, for the Good Books warns . u? "let not the sun go down upon your wrath " NOT SO ANXIOUS NOW AIohe fn October and November the "more pious Uian thou" crowd T.etp having a great deal to say . about prohibition They ^aw in the election of A1 Smith a death blow to their pot hobby, and likewise informed all pf i? sinners that if we failed to vot?}, ?nd help elect, Herebrt Hoover we 7,ere rommlttin? the unpardonable ??in But alas! Haw sooti the scales have fallen from they eyes. Thin question of itrohlbltton enforcement mtf before congress last wet*, the house parking the bill appropriating M?e same old amount- whleH even* one. including our own Judge Meek ins. said was not anywhere nea'f enough to rn/orrp prohibition, but "hen if went to the senate one Mr. Bruce, a staunch wet. offered an ? ^endment increasing the appropria tion about thirty fold. When the mafc t* r went back to the house th<* amend ment was struck mit, and the senate ^ncipnred in this action But, XC It ^ms done by almost a strict parf^^nN*, the Democrats vot friT to increase the appropriation while the M voted to retain tot old amount.

Of the 38 senators ^vho voted to hold it at $13,500,000. which is. about where it has been. 35 were Republi cans. two were Democrats and' on? was a Farmer-Labor . Of the 35 who ? voted to increase the amount by more than 20 times. 32 were Democrats and three, were Republicans.' The vote*, therefore. ^as about 'AS clear-cut an instance pf voting by party, lines n,S ^'e\ ?ji in iiw iVnaTT" th'at is to say that the Republicans' voted almost as a unit for $13,500,006 for the bu reau and the . Democrats voted almost as a unit for about S27Q. 000.000. The Republican majority is thus savins to the country that there is no need of increasing funds for en forcement, which means that it ? ? is' ?saying that? prchibitUcn . enforcement is getting along as well as is needed; and tha Democratic minority is say ing to the coUh? rr that the funds f - enforcement ovight to be increased 2^ tinier, which rrieans that it saying enforcement is riot one- twentieth of* the success it fieht be if th? federal cmvernment really wished to enforce' th^ '< tws -v These votes become a matter of record after the election.

Homegrown Fertilizer Secured From Soybeans f /H&leigft -^ometUney-it pays .ia^rcsL. fa part of the fertilizer needed on the farm rather than to attempt buying all of .t. *\J B Cullipher of Bertie x County learned this during the past seastfh. says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College. "In lfifel. Mr, Cul lipher planted a field to soybeans and tobacco and this year, the entire field was put to corn. In fertilizing the tobacco "in 1927. he used 1.000 pounds per. acre o I an 8-3-5 mixture. The soy beans received 300 pounds per acre of an 3-2-4 mixture. In other words, the soybeans received less than one third as much plant food as did the, tobacco. The tobacco made . a * gocfd qrop and was harvested . in the usual way whil? the soybeans were harvest ed with a machine' This, method" left all of th? leaves and stalks, on the land. Since the vines were about four feet tall, quite a bit. of 'organic matter was left for soil improvemen* When the corn was planted last spring. Mr.. Culiipher fertilized it all with 600 pounds of a 7-5-5 mixtur* and then top-dresse<J the entire ctott with 100 pounds per acre of Chilean nitrate of soda. Where the corn fol lowed tcbacco. . it -produced 47 bushels per acre and where the com followed the soybeans., it produced ,?0 bushels' per acre. This was an increase of 13 bif?hels per here'; which must Jvave bt'eh clue iq ihe-pffedt of the soy beans -.
