SELLING TOBACCO THOUGHTS
The Lord has blessed our labors
and we have fairly good crops of
??grain, vegetables and tobacco. TTie
farmers are about done curing to-,
bacco. The most of it has cured
well and is selling well and we hope
will continue to sell well, for many
of the farmers are needing the
money that their tobacco will
bring. Some are In debt. We truly
hope this crop will get them all out
. of debt and a (food balance In the
treasury to run on so they will not
have to go in debt again.
Say. good people, be considering;
}he evil tendencies and environ- j
ments and unsettled conditions. ? ^
* believe we should be vOry slow and
'conscious about getting in debt, but
T am not dictating! in the least, just
a modest and quiet hint or sugges- '
tipn. Well the farmers wil soon be]
grading and getting their tobacco I
ready for market, and, of course, j
they will be thinking about the,
feest tifne and place to sell. The
best time Is unknown, but ills us- i
ually about the first to the 20th of
N< Smber. Then the place to sell
Is to be considered. It seems to mei
that Roxboro is the logical place for ]
the farmres of -Person county and
adjacent territory to sell their to
bacco. Pour laffce, well equipped
and well arranged warehouses, man
. aged by clever, competent and ex
kpeqigMced men who will look to the
"farmers' interest. A liberal set of |
buyers who will pay the market]
price for tobacco. Good accommo- j
dations for' the farmers and their
teams. The best prices 'and the,
highest average I ever obtained was!
on the Roxboro market. Sometimes I
the larger markets get overstocked.
or glutted, and some of it is over-'
looked, and sometime tramped on,
and Injured. and at such times they,
of course, get behind with the sales
and farmers occasionally have to;
go the second time before they. can
get ^heir money. Good people, it
seems to pie we should consider ]
home first and boost and build up our i
home town. Patronize home indus
tries and enterprises In preference
to others at a distance. We farm
erg should have and often do have. (
something else to sell other than to
basso and when our town grows
and thrives we will have a better
market for our farm produce, aifd
you know how nice it is to get in
some change this way. It helps to
make both ends meet. The country
and town people should live In peace
and unity and promote each other's
progress for the country needs the
town and the town needs the coun- ]
try.
One item I will mention which
has weakened the Roxboro tobacco
market. The fine, new courthouse
has been costly in more than one
way. It was a one-sided, unequal
-game. A case of majority rule
which Vnany people do not like:
Many of the ggod people of F^x
boro was not in favor of tig^Sw
courthouse, and we should riSr tar
ry envy and malice against the
whole town for what a few did. One
of the prominent citizens of the
town, Mr. W. T. Pass, one of the
good warehousemen, told me he
was not In favor of a new court
house. Honor or dishonor, we have
the new courthouse, and, dear peo
ple, let us lay aside all envy, mal
ice, and discord which may exist.
There Is no honor, pay or profit
by this. It does not get us any
where and often this spirit injures
those who carry it more than any
one else. Let us have the spirit of
unity, helpfulness and charity which
suffereth long and Is kind. I be
| lieve the bond Issue business is over
for the present, and I truly hope
there will be no more bond Issues
before our country gets out of debt.
So dear people, let us not be biased
by envy and malice, but calmly con
sider and see if it is not beet, all
things considered, to do much of
our selling, buying, and banking in
Roxporo. I have no axe to grind.
I write this truly and purely from
a duty, friendly and patriotic yiek^
point. As Lincoln said,' -without
malice and charity for all. And
Washington said, untt?r~We stand,
divided we fall. ? --

A GHOST STRIKE
By J. E. Jones
Washington, D. C!.?It is generally
agreed that there are too many
strikes. Most of them are just dog
ged struggles between capital and
labor, but there is. abundant human
interest in the one at Kohler, Wis
consin, because Kohler is different
from most communities.
The" Kohler family engaged in
manufacturing in Wisconsin in
1873. The product drifted towards
bath tubs and plumbing, and it
would be hard to name any articles
that were more needed by the great
unwashed in the nineteenth cen
tury. Tti second generation came
| into the picture about 1890, and un
der the leadership of Walter J. Koh-.
ler, things began to boom. He was
Governor, of Wisconsin a few years
ago and served with distinction.
Kohler Village has in the pastl
been the home of happy and con
tented families. The optimism of
the present national administration
that seeks to help finance millions
of new homes and doll.up millions
of old houses 'finds logical prece
dents by reviewing what the pio
neers who pooled thelr human inter
ests have achieved in Kohler Village.
The depression came. Residence
construction dropped to 10 per cent
of normal in the United States; and
in the "general decline the Kohler
sales were so reduced that it be
cam necessary to curtail operations.
In a frank statement to the citizens
of Kohler the company said: "Our
warehouses were filled with bath
tubs, sinks and other products
until February, 1931, we continued
to work full time and with our full
enrollment in the factory . . . not
until January, 1932, was any reduc
tion made in wage rates . . . the
company was losing large sums of
money each of the late years and
was obliged to borrow to continue
operations?this condition still con
tinues."
The Kohler company displayed I
the Blue Eagle and accepted the j
1 provisions of the NRA and the code.
I Kohler Village always has followed
| The March of Progress. The sensa
I t ionalional strike was planned and
J organized beyond the borders of the
j Village where clubs, black-jacks,
: sling-shots, stones and other wea
| pons of warfare were familiar "ir
iguments." The accounts of riots,
bloodshed and the imprisoning of
| more than 200 employees, including
j young women, for twelve days, and
the petitioning for protection by
more than 1500 employes who wish
ed to return to work are well-known ]
| to newspaper readers,
j This was a strike against the Vil
I lage of Kohler and it was not due
to any empasse between employers
and employes. It all traces back to
I the days when Samuel Gompers was
| in the heydey of his power during
i the World War, when he suoess
fully demanded that his American
Federation of Labor should continue
to be recognized as the supreme
power of employes'everywhere. In
his lifetime this strange man. Sam
uel Gompers, bitterly 'resented
"model villages" that the" .Govern
ment built for the convenience and
comfort of those engaged in war
activities. He djd not like villages
like Kohler and he mentioned
these places to show how It enjoyed
comforts, peace and prosperity while
distress existed In other communi
ties (where employers didn't care.)
He strained every point to bring
lUnlon labor under tha-control of
his ?WashingfBW oHtees.
During the present year some of
the surviving Apostles must have
imagined that th ghost of Gompers
vjy commanding, beckoninm them
to "get Kohler." It was aifritical
time, and the SV's ..began organiz
ing OUTSlbE of^Kohler, ? in a.
neighboring eoinffl^ afflliated
with the Industry erf the Village. The
outsiders marched upgn Kohler;
with as little justification as Han
nibal marched on Rome, as Ger
many on Belgium. The whole busi
ness 'was staged to make It appear
that organized labor had a griev
ance. but stripped of its sensational
colorings the fact is revealed that
they mistook their ghost. They
should have realized that had Gom
pers lived he would have restrained
them, because he was a wise man.
He never threw lances at wjnd mills.
It was Don Qulxot's ghost that
lured the ruthless rioters Into Koh
ler Village.
Timely Farm
Questions Answer'd
A t State College
Question: How should alfalfa land
be inoculated for growing alfalfa
Answer: A good crop of sweet clo
ver, Burr clover or Black medic
grown within the past three to five
years Is sufficient inocluation for
most soils. Where these crops have
not been grown, soil from a field
that has been planted to tnem may
be used. From 200 to 400 pounds
of this soil should be applied 7 to
each acre of land seeded to alfalfa.
Dampen the seed with a mixture of
equal parts of water and molasses
and sift on a smgl quantity of the
soil from the inoculated field. Stir
the seed until they are well coated
with the soil. Commercial Inoculat
ing materials may be used If ino
culated soil is not available.
Question: When should develop
ing pullets be taken off the devel
oping mash and placed on laying
mash
Answer: It is best to let the birds
come up to about 25 percent produc
egg production which may cause the
mash. The laying mash stimulates;
tion before the change is made In the
immature birds to stop growing and
it is better to have a flock with high
vitality than to have a high egg
production at the expense of body
vigor. ,
Question: How may cow peas be
stored to protect them from weevils?
^Answer: Thresh the peas as soon
as harvested and then mix them
thoroughly with air-slacked lime at
the rate of one pound of lime to
one bushel of peas. After the peas
are mixed they should be stored in
closely woven sacks to prevent
other weevils from getting in from
the outside. If the peas are stored
in a bin a layer of lime abfut one
inch thick should be spread evenly
over the top. Where large quantities
of peas are stored the peas and
lime may be mixed with a shovel
but at least ten pounds of lime
should be used to the bushel of peas.
