/S' PAGE TWO Good Feurming Program Saves Soil and Moisture THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONI^ 1 Now For Pig Woman Mayoress Soil conservation and water con servation go hand in hand, says E. C. Jernigan, project manager of the soil conservation service in Davidson county. Both depend .up on ,a well-planned farm program in which soil-building practices play the most important part. Five simple and inexpensive farm practices are suggested by the soil conservation service and State col lege extension service as contribu tory to soil and water conservation. They are as follows: First—Subsoiling. Break the land well and subsoil to a depth of 18 to 20 inches. This will increase the water-holding capacity of the soil. Second—Terracing and strip crop ping. Break down the slope with a system of terracing and strip crop ping that will .slow down the water and reduce erosio.n. The strips of close-growing crops will add en riching vegetable matter to the soil and make it capable of holding more water. Third—Liming. To improve the physical condition by neutralizing the acids and increasing the legume crop yields. Fourth—Rotations. Plan a rota tion that will include as much close- growing vegetation as possible. Fifth—Retirement of lands. Take out of cultivation and put to pas tures or trees all lands that cannot produce crops at a profit. TODAY u»l PA(U(£R BRIDOE STORE .... the independent We hear a lot about the decline of the independent small retailer. He is being crushed to the wall by the great chain stores and mail order houses, people tell us. Mark Granite of Newtown, Penn sylvania, thinks that isn’t so. To prove that the small independent merchant has as good a chance as ever, if he is bright enough to run a store at all, he has opened an old-fashioned “general store” in his home town. I attended the opening the other day, when Mark was handing out sticks of candy to all the young sters in town. I am convinced he is right in his general theory that a good merchant, no matter how “little” he is, does not need to fear the competition of the “chains.” It’s lUp to Mark now to prove that •he is a good merchant. ATMOSPHERE . . make,* friends There is a character to every store—and every other place— which, for want of a better word, we call “atmosphere.” Either the surroundings create an atmosphere which attracts people, or they don’t. The right atmosphere is a more valuable asset than many ibusiness men realize. Mark Granite’s new store has the atmosphere of the country general store of my boyhood. That is ap propriate in Newton, which was the second town established by Wil liam Penn. The people of this part of Bucks County have a feeling for history. I think the new “old” store will please them. The merchandis'c is modern, oi course, but the fittings, down to the plug-tobacco cutter and the round-bellied stove standing in a box of sand, are such as our grand fathers knew. COMPETITION . . . .its part I have never known a good busi ness man who was afraid of compe tition. I have known many business men who were always complaining about their competitors, but none of them was a really good ibusiness jTian. It has been often said that nine of ten men who start in business for themselves fail. I don’t know that the proporton is as high as that, hut I know it is terrific. The business experts who study the causes of failure say that about a third are due to insufficient capi tal, another third to incompetence and inexperience, and the rest to a variety of factors. Few fail because of competition. Jt is my observation that most of the business failures I know lost out b,ecause they paid more attention to scending their sufferers of STOMACH ULCERS ^ HYPEIIACIOITY Willardi: Messaqe Relief PRICELESS INFORMATION for those suffering from STOMACH OR I DUODENAL UIXIERS, DUE TO HYPER ACIDITY-POOR DIGESTION, ACID I DYSPEPSIA, SOUR STOMACH, GASSI NESS, HEARTBURN, CONSTIPATION, BAD BREATH.

REGULATION . . one viewpoint I have never been able to see that it is any part of the function of government to protect the in competent and inefficient against the consequences of their own in herent w'eaknesses. Too much sym pathy is wasted by social uplifters on individuals who are natural-born failures. Too much political effort is aimed at making those of us who stand on our own feet take care of the ones who have proved their inability to succeed. The only regulation of business by government for which I can find justification would be such as would insure to every man the right to fail, or succeed, as his nature may be, as the result of his own efforts. Every legislative attempt to save failures from the consequences of their own failings puts a premium on inefficiency and a penalty on competence.

This will provide a clean range for the pigs to run in until they are four months old, or until they attain a weight of about 100 pounds. . , , , “Sows for spring farrowing should be bred by the early part of No- vember, at tlie latest.

They are among the outstanding men of our little community, be cause they are not only skilled at their respective trades but by rea son of their personal characters. No.ne of them “skimps” his work. They all take pride in doing a first- rate job, and in seeing the job through once it is started. I was lucky to get their .s-ervices. They had to sandwich my work in between other jobs, working nights and Sundays. For they are living examples of what I have always maintained, that the man of real ability is .never “out of work,” once his ability and character have been demonstrated.
