Former Washington Man
Says We Don't Know
—' About Hard Times
(Washington Progress)
"All we're praying for down here is
just two years of what North Carolina
calls a depression," is the assertion
made by Dr. John W. Williams, direc
tor of public health work at Monroe#
La., and former Beaufort County
health director. In a letter to The
Progress he describes recent flood con
ditions in his section of the country
and compares the lot of the people
down there with that of residents in
Eastern North Carolina. Here is his
letter:
"If water was to suddenly inundate
Washington and every one in it had
to move a little of their furniture across
I the river, leaving the remainder stack
ed on scaffolds in a home to be later
covered with water, and all of this
done within a period of forty-eight
hours, they would be going through
our experience down this way. The
Ouachita River divides Monroe from
West Monroe—two towns. Monroe is
well protected with levees. West Mon
roe is not. Monroe has a population
of 37,000 people. West Monroe, 7,500.
The big majority of those living in
West Monroe have had to come over.
Live in any kind of a house they coqld
find. Some of them in box cars. No
camps were established because of the
rains, and it might be cold before the
thing is over. The flood stage of the
river is 40 feet, and tonight it is 46
feet high. One foot of the top of
the levees as it stands now, with more
water expected from Arkansas. Of
course, those of us from Washington
are wearing long faces, but the ma
jority of the people are taking this
thing standing up. It is their second
one within five years, and you have
never seen such people. Giving their
time and money to take care of those
who have suffered. Working, joking,
laughing and cussing, but taking care
of the situation. When I read a paper
from home about all the belly-aching
over a bank going broke and taxes
coming in slow, it make 9 me sick. All
.we pray for down here just two
years of North Carolina's 'depression'
as a respite from our offlictions. Stop
your howling, you don't know what
hardships are. Beaides thing* are look
ing bright for you. You have John
Stedman for treasurer. Make another
Washingtonian governor, who is the
only man in the state vrith sense
I enough to be governor (A. D. Mc-
Lean), and you can forget your trou
bles. Down here it is not so alto
gether our own problem—because
when the good Lord is not letting Ar
kansas burn up they are wringing wet.
When it is dry .up there they come
down here for us to {eed, and when it
is too wet the water runs down on us.
And with it all, this is the fastest-grow
ling town in the South. It is njtf a
(case of patiently taking what comes,
■it is a case of peeting it head-on and
seeingyit through. When some oi. us,
jwho by nature are afraid of hard
ships, ask some of these guys, 'Will
jthings come out all right?" We are
i told, 'Of course to hell they will. We
' will make them.' "
5 POINT VALUE IN 1
DAIRY FARMING
More attention to the dairy cow in ■
North Carolina offer* five opportuni
ties to the North Carolina farmer.
"While we realize the of
milk as a food and know that there
should be at least one cow for every
five persons in the State, we should
no overlook the opportunities pro
vided in increasing the number of j
cows in all sections of the State,",
'suggests John A. Arey, dairy exten-j
sion specialist at State College, "In |
nearly evfry part of the State there is.
the opportunity to increase the num- j
ber of cows so that the cream and |
milk may be sold. Farm dairying of-1
fer» first a sure monthly cash income; j
second, profitable employment for
farm labor th/oughout the year; third, |
a good market for home grown feeds;
fourth, a system of farming thaf will
check erositn and build up the fer
tility of the land, and fifth, cash re
turns from pasture land that would
-otharwiaa be idle."
These five points were alto recom
mended by committees of farmers at
the regional agricultural meetings
whic*K have been held in • the State
'i-
WILLI AMSTON
during the put month, says Mr. Arey. 1
For a person to engage in the selling
of cream or milk, he should have a |
unit of not less than* five cows for'
the expense of collecting either milk
or cream from smaller herds is rather
heavy. j -
To further develop the dairy indus-;
try, Mr. Arey says the committees
recommend feeding liberally of a bal
anced ration made up almost entirely
Prices Reduced

ing and pressing of men's suits. We are making this reduction
in an effort to stimulate business and assist those who have had

With this reduction we are going to give the same attention

ture and cover crop? to last through
out the year where possible, was sug
gested. A good cow will need from
1,800 to 2,000 pounds of Jgrain for
one year.
Then finally good pure bred dairy
sires should be used to gradually build
up .the herd to a higher point of pro
