Tuesday, February 23, 1932 , Changing Sides Rapidly Did you ever see so many candidates change their platforms in your life? It will be remembered that in the jiot-so-far-distant past certain prominent folks in North Carolina fought very hard in a rather silent way against the school tax proposal, which was to raise all school taxes from sources other than property tax. v - Now, since they see the swing of the tide, they are trying to get over on the side of no tax on property for school purjK»ses. This doubtless means that the program in the next legislature is" going to be "cut *Ke schools." This is almost certain, because the very same folks who kicked against paying a fair share of the school tax last year will do the same thing next year. „ The fact that a candidate comes out on a platform of cutting taxes is not enough if he intends to de stroy government. Nobody objects to more economy in government and cheaper schools, just so long as the basic prices of the country are at the present low level. But watch the f ellow vho a«V.s votes on the principles of economy, unless he also pledges good benefits in return for each dollar bpent. ' There are a lot of folks, who are opposed to free public education, and who would silence the school bells forever rather than reduce their own incomes. The candidate who has principles of government which stand up under strain, and which does not to be changed with the tide is generally the safeest man to tie to. Value Received Some folks are complaining about paying taxes. There is some ground for complaint, but we can't truthfully place the blame for hard times on taxe*. In fact our tax money is about the only money we have spent during the past IS years that we now have anything to show for. We have our roads, court houses, county homes, school houses and other im provements. While a very small per cent of our expenditures during the period has gone for taxes, that money is still visible in public improvements and will eventual ly pan out a hundred cents on the dollar. Fair and honest minds and hearts are one of our greatest needs; We should be fair. The Guiding Beacon For 200 Years - . President Wright Is Right Dr. Robert H. Wright, president of the East Car olina Teachers' College, has taken the proper stand in refusing students of the school permission to smoke. Dr. Wright says the state k is not ready to invest about $125 a yeir in educating girls for teachers in public schools and permit them to follow a habit that will cause school boards to refuse to employ them, President Wright puts the ban on smoking not on the grounds of a moral question, but purely from a busi ness standpoint. When a person forms a' habit that grips him as tight as the smoking habit, it very greatly retards his use fulness in any line of work. It is really pathetic to watch smokers and see how much'good time they waste in smoking; and, of course, the man who di vides his time between his ordinary line of thought, which is always very essental to success, and the time given to buying, begging, lighting, and smoking cigar ettes loses much. - » No man or woman has either a legal or moral right to make a slave of himself ot herself to habits that destroy usefulness. Especially is this true of persons drawing tax 'flftoneyr 1 ' ' 7" President Wright is right in his effort to save the young women of the state from the slavery of the deadly cigarette. Buy Quality Cotton Seed The North Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative association, in addition to its regular and valuable work, is offering still another valuable aid to the far mer members this year. In an attempt to improve the quality of the State's cotton crop, the association is offering its assistance to those farmers who ask«for aid in the purchase of quality cotton seed. If you are interesting; in improving the quality of your crop, get in touch with the association at Raleigh. Better To Aid Charity Now Unhappily vested with the responsibility of caring for and feeding the unfortunates, society would do well to form a partnership right now with the help less ones. It is hardly fair to expect one to plant his seed, cultivate his crop through the hot summer time and then share his harvest and earnings with another. Why not, if there isiany aid to be rendered, give the unfprtunate ones who aren't able to buy, necessary seeds and help them locate a plot of land that they, too, might join in the task of supporting all mankind. ' Each year the "giving power" of our people has been lessened, and those who fail to procure see and cultivate their own gardens will experience poverty in its fullness during next fall and winter. It is a combined task of our county authorities, welfare organizations and workers and all the people to get seed for those people who have depended upon small donations in the past and see that they plant and cultivate (hem somehow and some where during this coming spring and summer. The task well done will save from starvation and at the same time lessen the burden imposed.upon the general public and the demand made upon the county "dole". Now is the time to aid our unfortunates. In the past they have been discharged when the first signs of spring ap|>eared in the woods and fields. Like the animals of the forests, they roamed here and there, eating berries and the other ready offerings of nature. But when the animals hibernated in the fall and win ter, the unfortunate humans returned to demand more than they did the year before. Owners of idle land, unable to finance its cultiva tion, would relieve the situation by permitting jobless and otherwise helpless ones to plant gardens. A strong drive made now in behalf of charity should create sufficient funds with which to buy seed.. Spring is only a few weeks away, and it is our task, however unwelcome it might be, to equip the charity cases with the means of earning his own food. THE EMTSRPRISB BETTER COWS IN NORTH CAROLINA Reports From 93 Dairymen Show Improvement in •1' Average Herd Report* from 93 dairymen belong- ing to the eight active herd improve ment associative now active in North Carolina indicate that, the dairy cows of today are more efficient producers than they were even one year ago. "The members of our herd improve ment associations are scattered in 30 North Carolina counties,'' says John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at State College. "These men had 3.364 cows on test last year which is an in crease of 211 over 1930. The average production per cow for last year was 6,433 pounds of milk and 282 pounds of buttcrfat as compared with 6.185 pounds of milk and 261 pounds of butter fat in 1930. This shows a de cided improvement in the production of our dairy animals." Mr. Arey says that the dairymen l found by their record keeping that 352 cows were boarders and therefore unprofitable. These were culled" and sold to the butchers. Another good indication of the gradual improvement being made in dairy herds was that in 1931, there were 33 herds which averaged 300 pounds or more of butterfat per cow. The actual production of these 33 herds was 7,456 pounds of milk and 330 pounds of fat pfer cow. In the pre vious year of 1930, only 22 herds pro duced as much as 300 pounds of fat per cow. Then last year, Mr. Arey found two herds where the fat pro duction averaged 400 pounds or over of fat. One of these was a Guernsey herd owned by Thurmond Chatham at Elkin which produced 8,888 pounds of milk and 488 pounds of fat a cow last year, and the other was a Jersey herd-owned by Aldridge Brothers of Haw River which produced 8,250 pounds of milk and 405 pounds of fat a cow last year. These are the first two herds in the State to go above the 400-pound mark. Facts such as these tend to show that despite the depression, North ' Carolina, dairymen are pressing for ward in building more profitable herds over the State, says Arey.
