OBSERVATION
AND (OMMENT
F. O. CAKVER, Jr.
POLITICITIS
Aside from the two theories of po
litical government that have been so
simply expressed by William Hard,
writing in June's Bed Book, as the
feeding of the economic cow, as was
done under Harding,' Coolidge and
Hoover, and the milking of the eco
nomic cow, as is now being done so
successfully In the present adminis
tration, there seems to be a definite
swing toward a Left, or Badical
thought of government. It has its
expression in Huey Long's "Share The
Wealth" Clubs on one hand and Fa
ther Coughlin's monetary currency
reform on the other.
Senator Bronson Cutting of New
Mexico considered himself a staunch
supporter of the "Third Party" or, as
has been said, the group that believes
in the cutting up of the economic cow
^kr general distribution. Since his
Vagic death these have lost a possible
deader who could unify the theories of
Long and Coughlin into a political fac
tor of magnificent proportions.
Huey and the Priest can't get to
gether, so it seems likely that someone
besides Long will be the candidate for
the Presidency on the "Third Party"
ticket In "36. Possibly Senator Bur
ton K. Wheeler, a Progressive and a
candidate for the Vice-Presidency with
LaFollette in 1924 on the Progressive
ticket, may be chosen to head the
ticket. And then too, Long's chief
support lies in the south, while Fa
ther Coughlin's lies in the North and
West. A man like Senator Wheeler
could unite these two elements, it is
felt.
Undoubtedly we will see a chastened
Bepublican Party in 1936. They have
realized that their policies are not in
violable. But sacrosanct is one word
that can be applied to no political or
ganization. Their methods and ideas
become outmoded and are voted down
by the voting public, sometimes a des
perate public.
So it may be Ijhat, between those
who swing to the Left and rally behind
the Long-Coughlin outfit, and those
who swing to the Bight behind the Old
Guard, we Democrats may be in the
Apocrypha, or in modern parlance,
holding tne Dag.
At this early date it seems that the
"8olid South", in endorsing the poli
cies of the Democratic Party in general
and the political dogma of Franklin D.
Roosevelt in particular, is going to
have a real significance in 1936.

Agriculture Census
Shows Gain of 23,685
Farms In This Stale
North Carolina has 303,393 farms,
the enumeration of the bureau of the
census, United States department of
commerce, now completed, reveals. This
information was obtained by the
Daily News from James L. Harrison,
area supervisor of the quinquennial
census of agriculture, who had charge
o f the work in this state, the area
headquarters office having been located
in Greensboro.
This constitutes an increase of 23,
685, or nearly 8.5 per cent, over the to
tal of 279,708 farms enumerated in
North Carolina in 1930, the last pre
ceding farm census.
The area headquarters office in the
new federal building here has been
closed and Mr. Harrison has returned
to Washington where he is with the
bureau of the census. He is at 23 Ana
costia Road. N. E.. Washington, D. C.
Miss Marian Massey, who served as
office secretary in the area headquar
ters office, has returned to her home
at Durham, the district supervisors and
the locations of the district headquar
ters office were as follows:
District No. 1, David M. Buck, Char
lotte; district No. 2, Daniel J. Carter,
Lexington; district No. 3, John R.

trict No. 6, Edgar V. Edens, Lumber

Expresses Appreciation
Upon closing the area office here
Mr. Harrison expressed appreciation,
on behalf of himself and the bureau,
"to all the farmers and the various
county and state officials and news
papers who have so kindly rendered
their co-operation in this work." The
effectiveness with which the work has
been prosecuted since its inception
about the first of the year has elicited
much favorable comment.
Examination of the farm enumera
tion totals in the 1935 census discloses
that of North Carolina's 100 counties,
13 have more than 5,000 each, these
being Robeson, 8,020; Johnston, 7,680;
Pitt, 6,419; Sampson. 6,333; Wake, 6,
009; Wilkes, 5,667 i Duplin, 5,661; Bun
combe, 5,633; Nash, 5,432; Cleveland,
5,331; Guilford, 5,161; Randolph, 5,
146; Wayne, 5,083;. The counties with
the fewest farms, the 1935 census
shows, are Dare, 126; New Hanover,
435; Graham^ 865; Camden, 885; Car
teret, 887; Currituck, 953.

Study New Plan
Of Seeding Pines
' 4
A new idea in reforesting loblolly
and longleaf pines on idle farm lands
is being tested by eleven farmers in
ten North Carolina counties under the
supervision of R. W. Graeber, exten
sion forester at State College.
"We are broadcasting the pine seed
at the rate of one pound per acre with
the loblolly variety and 1 1-2 pound
per acre with the longleaf variety,"
says Mr. Graeber, in explaining the
plan. "Hiis is not a heavy seeding but
when we realize that loblolly seed aver
age about 20,000 seed to the pound,
this amount would seem sufficient.
Then too we are preparing the land
with a disk harrow and the seed are
covered with a drag harrow, weeder or
brush. We plan to make periodic ob
servations of the planted plots to see
if the plan justifies wider adoption."
Mr. Graeber says the idea back of
the experiment is to find a quick and
economical method of reforesting idle
farm lands on an extensive scale with
the smallest outlay of labor and seed
cost. Heretofore, the artificial broad
casting of pine seed has been done
largely on cut-over pine lands and
has not been successful. By prepar
ing the land and covering the seed,
it is hoped to get better results.
Those farmers cooperating with Mr.
Graeber in the plan are checking the
seedings to study the best time of seed
ing and to see Tiow much of the seed
is devoured by migratory birds. The
seedings were all made at different
times extending from January 20 to
March 20. Further seeding tests are
planned for 1936 extending over a wid
er range of soil and time.
Until the plan has been proven
successful, Mr. Graeber advises pros
pective growers to get seedlings from
forest nurseries in the usual, way.

The Carolinas' storehouses of valuable minerals have been almost overlooked. These
states have the largest variety of minerals in the nation. Approximately 300 species
and sub species have been identified in the Carolinas.
More thorough research to determine the extent and value of minerals is needed. Possibilities of utilization
of these products in manufacturing enterprises in the two states are almost limitless. To fail to exploit
these opportunities permits other states to reap the major benefits from our resources.
DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILITIES INCLUDE:
c
Clays;
The United States imports from 250,000 to
300,000 tons annually. Recent tests reveal
that Carolina Clay meet the highest standards.
North Carolina has residual and South
Carolina, sedimentary days.
Alloys:
Rare alloys present a new field of expansion
for the Carolinas' mineral industry. Many
of these, such as nickel, beryllium, titanium,
tungsten, molybdenum, columbium and
tantalum have not been prospected.
V
Mica:
New uses developed during last several years
have created a greater demand for this
mineral. The Carolinas have produced more
than half of the nation'- tutput for the last
several years.
Chinatvare9 Refractories
Electric Porcelain and Glass:
Principal raw materials necessary for the
manufacture of these products (clays, feldspar,
kyanite and quartz or silica) are produced in
great 'quantities in the Carolinas. With their
large power developments and the develop
ment of a new type of heat unit, these States
should become the center of these industries.
