Friday, August 21, 1931 It Could Be Worse As nearly as* we can estimate, about half of our officers spend their efforts in trying to catch law vio lators, and the other half s|>end their time trying, to turn them loose. Yet it might be worse if some of. tliem were trying to do both. h. . ' Bad Influences • . The North Carolina Christian Advocate says if young people are bad, it is because older peopffr have led them astray. Boys and girls do not learn from their little brothers and sisters, but from older boys and girls, and grown-up people. The stateriieht is only too true, but the truth is a tragedv. The lw>ys and -girls have been.led only., too far—so far that it is hard to get back where we would have them. We see most of the killing and'robbing comes from the cases Where too much moral weak ness prevails, either on th one side or the other, if not on both sides. / The man or woman who contributes to the break ing down of the morals of boys and girls is nearly always a mntributor to the crimes they commit in future days. Guard the minds and hearts of the youth against the evils of the day. and crime will be reduced. The Cause of Hard Times In all of the long discussions about the cause of hard times, we have apparently failed to find the fellow that has caused it all. , We have "cussed" presidents and governor, as well as sheriffs 'Who have collected from us.- All of our "cussing" has failed to> briiig relief, and'while much of the criticism may have been due. yet we have failed to find the real fellow who is at the bottom of this hard-pressing panic. When we look at things, as they realty are, we will find the fellow who brought the hard times. It is the fellow that has s|x-nt ten times as much for his own sweet pleasure (generally needless) as his daddy spent, and the girl who s|iends more for an every-day dress than her mother's wedding gown_cost, and who would have s|>ent more if they could have gotten it, or if the old house or the old farm would have stood another mortgage or two. . • We ourselves are the fellows who caused it. The average man, when he had niortey, went into the game of making more money, and about 99 out of each 100 got picked. A few folks, however,, moved along in the orderly way, took care of what they conveniently could They are now able to buy the mortgaged farms that are going cheap. Money to throw away is a positive curse to any person or community. . * .« Friends of Lawbreakers That was a rather severe slap th it Lieutenant Les lie Jones gave the Chowan County Recorder recently when he asked the removal of the |>atrolman from Chowan to Bertie County, becau-e the judge was so fiiendly to drunken drivers that he not only refused to convict the driver but actually reprimanded Pa trolman Dail for handcuffing the drunken man after he had assaulted the patrolman. Th: ; may IK- one of the crises referred to in one of the Wickerham rejjorts reciting inrtances in which bootleggers and judges are good*- friends. Or it may be that it is like cases with some other judges, who are so pure and just and dignified and straight-laced that they refuse to find guilt until 40 preachers swore to the same fact, for fear they will punish an innocent bootlegger. How To Be Happy Farmers, take care of all that hay, all com, all those potatoes, don't let the cholera get your hogs, sow your land in oats and rye, keep plenty of chick ens, and let cotton go down. Keep happy eating ham and eggs, with plenty of potatoes and gravy, and plenty of butter on your cornbread. To those white bud collards. rutabagas, and turnips, add a can of home-grown tomatoes, corn, or beans. Then you will he happier than kings, princes, and presidents. Even if a few automobile rides are missed on ac count of cheap tobacco, the farmer will still be the happiest of all men— yea r ju»d his family, too. i PUBLISHED Kvntv TU—OAY »»o rwIPAY Punishment The Marion Progress, commenting on a statement made by Judge Stack, touches a subject of vital in terest to every to every citizen. Preparatory to passing sentence for violation of the prohibition law, Judge Stack Thursday condemned the system of paroles and pardons that has grown up in defense of law violators and at the same time re ferred to public sympathy with those convicted of crime, which, he said, is largely responsible for law lessness. Using the English legal system as an example, he said there is much less crime there than in this coun try, for the reason that the criminal is nearly always apprehended, convicted when proved guilty, and when convicted has no hope of pardon or parole. In sharp contrast, he said, the law breaker in this country ex pects to evade arrest in the first place because of widespread indifference of the public. If brought to tria>„ Judg Stack continued, the accused hopes to escape by working on the sympathy of the jury; in many cases then, following conviction, light sentences are imposed, and as a last resort, when and if a prison sentence is given, appeal is made to the power of pardon and |>arole. In the last ,case, it was pointed out, the proceedings are all on one side—the criminal has his day to plead for leniency, claiming illness, poverty, dependent family, and many other excuses, while no one presses the cause of the injured public. Judge Stack said every maker and seller of bootleg liquor is a potential murderer, and that no one could estimate the number of deaths resulting in one form or another from such manufacture and sale. L;|w violators who are convicted and serve stiff sentences, the judge said, are not so quick, as a rule, to take another risk. Golden Opportunities Golden opportunities await those who have been blessed with enough and to spare in this world's goods and who are generous enough to buy school books for children too poor to buy for themselves. Schools of the county will open some 30 days hence and there will be plenty of children without books, and Children, too, who need schooling. Every neigh bor huud should find such needy ones, and then go to those who are able and get them to buy books. The cost would not be unbearable by any means, and the whole school system would be improved by giving all uniform books and lessons. There may be those who feel they have done their full duty when they have furnished their own chil drn with all necessary books, food, and clothing. But not so. No man can claim he has done his full duty until he has clothed the ragged and fed the hungry child >f his neighbor. Of course, we may shut our eyes to these import ant needs, but we should not. School committeemen, teachers, parents, parent-teacher- associations, and in fanct everybody interested in human beings should look Well into this matter and endeavor to sec that no ujiild is denied the opportunity of schooling, and be to a field of small opportunities, because the community in which it was born did not care. No Choice But To Work William A. Graham, leader in North Ca'olina's ag ricultural advancement, propounded a great truth when he recently said, "Now no choice but to work." Continuing, Mr. Graham stated, "We should work as never before -not without hope of reward, not simply as so many slaves in life's vineyard, but with a view to strengthening the weak places and provid ing insurance for the future. We should take carie of,our farm machinery and our farm buildings and seize every opportunity of learning something new. We should study all bulletins and other means of help provided by those who, as experts, have made a sjxrial study of agriculture. We should read good farm papers, exchange visits with our farmer-neigh bors and employ every means at our dis|x>sal to mas ter the situation that presents itself. "Above all, we should look ahead, in a spirit of con fidence. There should be no relaxation of effort on our |>art; there should be no abandonment of hope. Agriculture is due to win in the end, and it will win, but not until it has been treated seriously and p l *™** on a |>arity with other essential lines of endeavor." • Investigating Tammany Governor Franklin I). Roosevelt has certainly done one noble deed, if he never does another. He has arranged for a complete investigation of Tammany, which is a real man's job. It will be remembered that the Governor made a faint pass at investigating Tam many graft a few months ago, but they were too keen for him and fooled him. Now the governor finds they lied to him and he has re-entered the fight. Tammany is that organization which has boased most of the Democratic national conventions during the past 50 years, but has seldom helped elect a Dem ocratic president. Tammany has been so well satis fied with the loot and graft it has gotten from New York State and city politics that it has gone no fur ther in national politics than to rule the conventions, and then vote Republican or not vote at all. When the national Democratic Party outlaws Tam many, it will have a better chance to win. Why Jimmy la Sick * *. Mayor Walker is sick—possibly that special ses sion of the New York legislature, called to investigate Mayor Walker's city government, has stirred up his stomach. Too many of Jimmy's henchmen an go ing down in the whirlpool. THE ENTERPRISE THE LETTER-BOX A TRIBUTE TO DR. WARRRN Dr. Wm. E. Warren wat born March 31, 1869, and died at hi* home in Wil- Jiamston, April 5, 1931, aged 62 year* For some 30 year* Dr. Warren had iserved as ministering physician to hit community and was held in high es teem by the profession and the people. At the time of his death he was coun ty physician and had served as presi dent of the Seaboard Medical Society and vice president of the Nbrth Car olina Medical Society with becoming distinction and honor. Dr. Warren was of striking person ality) attractive, genial, and popular in hi* relations and intercourse with his /friends. He had the capacity for serv | 'ice and was seldom indisposed by rea ' son of illness and yet succumbed to an attack of pneumonia of only four days duration. Dr. Warren succeeded in business and professional relations, but accu mulated no distinctive wealth which , the world applauds, and yet he accu mulated riches of greater value, the gratitude of his clientele, the esteem !of his associates and the affection and loyalty of his friends, j The wealth of fortune and position jdo not always abide nor dispense that happiness which gladdens life and gives peace to sorrowing souls. It is ( the little kindnesses, the gentle smiles, ,hc tender encouraging words, the ] sweetened disposition, the golden sym pathy which crown the joys of life jand make it the rose garden. oi per 'suasive bloom and beauty and sweet 'ening fragrance and fills the sensitive Imind with eternal comfort and the pa .tient soul with everlasting peace. His pilgrimage was one of cheer and brightness; he cast no shadows, he in dulged no fear and suffered no remorse but with hope and confidence and faith he met his Lord face to face, taking with him as his passport the jewels he had won in te service he had ren dered to others. Thus he passed to his reward, leav ing a vacancy in his profession which will be most difficult to replace and to y host of friends who will long mourn the loss of a friend who was so loyal and go True." ™ .

E. G. MOORE. Elm City, N. C. HOW THEY GROW BROCCOLI PLANT • - Three different vegetables known as "broccoli" are being grown in North Carolina but only two of these arc inportant. These arc known as broccoli salad and green sprouting broccoli. "Both of these crops require fertile soil and heavy applications of fertil izer , for best results," says E. B. | Morrow, extension horticulturist at | State College. "Where the fertiliser is applied in the drill from 750 to 1,000 I pounds of a 7-5-5 or other high grade | fertilizer should be used to the acre, i This should be thoroughly mixed with the soil to avoid injury to the plants. When broadcast, as much as 2,000 pounds of the mixture may be used." While the fertilization is the same for both crops, the cultural methods are entirely different, states Mr. Morrow. The broccoli salad is a hardy plant and for this reason is grown for late winter and early spring greens in the eastern part of the State. Experiments conducted at the Branch Station at Willard gave best results when the seed were sown between September 15 and 25. About two pound* of seed are used to the acre and these are drilled in rows about three feet apart. This time and method of plant ing produce* a crop that i* ready for harvesting in February and March. The green sprouting broccoli is grown both a* an early spring and a fall crop. For an e#rly spring crop, the plants are started under a cold frame and transplanted after the last freeze. The plants should be set 15 to 18 inche* apart in three or three and one-half foot rows. When grown a* a fall crop, t{ie teed* are planted in late July and harvested before the first killing froet. This la*t named type is new to grower* in North Carolina and pro duce* small, rather loose, green heads, say* Mr. Morrow. The vegetable ha* been planted in thi* county, but on a very small scale with a predicted larger planting thi* fall aud next spring. • Owing to lack of rainfall in 1930, the volume of water in each of the Grieat Lake* of Huron, Erie, and Ontario, on the UniMd States-Canadian border, is now 29 inches below normal. Cull the laying flock during August i* the advice of poultry specialists at State College. The early molter is the poor layer and the flock is better off without these boarders, they say. NOTICE OP SALE Under and by virtue of the authority contained in that certain deed of trust eractrted to the undersigned trustee on the 3rd day of July. 1923, by W. G. Anthony and wife, aiud deed of trust being of record hi the public registry of Martin Cemrty in book H-2, at page nyvv -ft ' TTf' WILLI AM STON MO*™ CAWQI.INA CLUB MEMBERS TO GET CHICKS The use of better males to head up the farm flocks is the outstanding need of the poultry industry in North Carolina. To offset this need, the Poultry Department at State Col lege will distribute at cost, . through the extension service, pedigreed males of known performance to 4-H club members who are conducting poultry projects. "To be eligible to secure these birds," say* Professor R. S. Dears tyne, head of the Poultry Department, club members must have kept records on their flocks for two year* after the male is issued. The price of these birds will be figured from actual cost to the department." The success of the poultry indus try lies in the breeding and too often this is governed by selection according to appearance with little strees laid on performance, states Mr. Dearstyne.! Such selection is often wrong as a! cockerel from a 100 egg bird may pre- ! sent a better appearance than onej from a bird that has produced 200 eggs. The worth of a male bird is re flected in the performance of his | daughters and this fact carries thru the entire progeny. ] "While the introduction of pedi greed males into the -flock is a step iin the right direction," says Mr. Dearstyne, "there are other factors to be considered in order to bring out the best results. | One of the most important of these factors is the selection of birds to | , which the male is to be mated and | Mr. Dearstyne recommends that j j breeding birds be selected for vigor. ! type and performance. Vigorous, and ' healthy birds will as a rule be heavy ; producers. The type should conform ' to the culling standards for the breed and the performance records should i be kept through trapnesting or leg [banding. By careful selection of brecd 'ers and the use of pedigreed males, [club members can materially raise the j State average in egg production, says Mr. Dearstyne.
