Landlord and Tenant
Welfare workers throughout the State say they are
finding out more about landlords and tenants than
they ever knew before, and too they are finding out
that there are many "broke landlords and many hun
gry tenants.
They find some landlords who feed their tenants
and have no applications for help from them. In
other cases, they find landlords who send all their
tenants to be fed and clothed by charity and who
seem inclined to let the tenants starve rather than
feed them.
In some instances the workers are finding tenants
who have stripped their landlords—gotten everything
they could in supplies, slipped the crops away, and
are trying to "hog" the welfare department to get
food and clothing.
When we get all honest landlords and all honest
tenants, it will be a wonderful help to our social and
business system.
Every landlord should require all his tenants to
produce sufficient* food and feed crops for their use,
and every tenant should demand sufficient land to
produce his needed food crops.
One of the worst things that has hap|>ened in our
cropping system is cases where landlords and tenants
try to rob each other a thing that has been all too
frequent in the recent [xist. We must remember that
landlords need tenants and tenants need landlords,
and that they have the same common interests and
need to be the best of friends as well as to be perfect
. ly honest with each other.
The Tax Commission's Report
The State Tax Commission .has made its report,
which, in the main, looks pretty good, and is appar
ently about the only thing in sight. However, it does
not suggest a sales tax, which has seemed inevitable
with th ('conditions confronting us.
Since a salrs ax is «-poor twin's tax, while income,
franchise, and like taxes are levied against the rich,
if we are to have a sales tax, it should be on the
things we do not need and not on the things that we
actually-have to have to sustain life. We are today
using many luxuries that we can do without and cer
tainly be no worse off. sych as soft drinks, cigarettes,
tobacco, picture shows, and things of that type that
are not essential to the life and liberty of man.
Be Honest With Yourself
As we bid the old year farewell, we regret to say
that there are many who hate its memory. They
complain at its cruelty and poverty; its hardships and
disappointments. Vet, when properly analyzed, we
find that most of our troubles have come from our
own acts; and if we would be just and true we should
mourn our own shortcomings rather than to try to
charge up our ills to the elements and blame the
forces of nature for our sins and misery.
v - "Domestic Allotment" Farm Relief
Progressive Farmer.
As we go to press, the "domestic allotment" farm re
lief bill has not taken final shape. ,
/ Tentatively, it proposes to recognize this fact—that
farmers who grow America's leading export products,
such as cotton, tobacco, wheat, and pork, directly or
indirectly pay high tariff charges on what they buy,
but get no tariff benefits on what they sell. This is
true because the surplus sold abroad fixes the price
of the total production, including that part sold in
America. Hence to give the farmer a "tariff benefit"
on what he sells somewhat equal to what the tariff
costs him on what he buys, it is proposed to pay the
farmer in 1933 a bonus or subsidy of 42 cents a bushel
on wheat, S cents a pound on cotton, 4 cents a pound
on tobacco, and 2 cents a pound on hogs—or on that
portion of each of these products consumed in Amer
ica—on condition that the farmer observe the acre
age restrictions required by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The money for this purpose
would be obtained from an excise or internal revenue
tax on processors or manufacturers of wheat, cotton,
tobacco, and on pork packers, and this tax would be
paaaed on to consumers.
Suppose a farmer has been growing 20 bales of cot
ton or 20POO pounds of tobacco. If be wishes to llt *

advantage of the domestic allotment provision, he
must agree to cut his 1933 acreage 20 per cent, and
the government will agree to pay him the extra 5 or
4 cents a pound on approximately half of his former
production— or on that proportion of the American
cotton or tobacco crop consumed in America; it is
about 45 per cent of the cotton crop and about 60 per
cent of the tobacco crop. Farmers who do not wish
to take advantage of the domestic allotmeht plan can
plant as much as they wish at their own risk and sell
at prevailing world prices.
It may take several weeks or even months before the
measure is put into final shape. Every farmer should
study the plan, discuss it in his local farm organization
and help put it into the best possible form.
Expect Little From Congress
Will Congress give us any relief? It now seems
that "no" would be the proper and true answer to
the question.
To begin with, a Congress that has so low ideals
as to spend all its time trying to serve sinful beer
barons, who want to make money out of people to
whom they will give nothing of value, and who they
will positively injure, even reaching down through
many generations—such a Congress can not be de
pended on for any good thing. It would be as rea
sonable to expect pure water to gush out of a polluted
spring, to expect words of truth and life to come from
the lips of the devil, as to expect a Congress which
spent its first month trying to bring back beer and
did nothing more than theorize on farm relief. On
this question nothing has been suggested yet that will
help the farmer as much as the Congress has already
cost.
We, of course, have plenty of fairly good honest
men in Congress, but what do they amount to when
statesmanship is needed? They fall ipto a coma and
center their attention on getting votes for another
term.
It Comes Too Late
News and Observer.
It is a thousand pities that the refusal of the Re
publican House to submit the Norris amendment de
nies the advantage which would come from it In this
change of administration. ,When it is ratified, and
it will be ratified within two months, the new Con
gress elected in November will convene on the third
of January, less than two months after the election,
and the new President will be inaugurated on the 20th
of January instead of waiting until the fourth of
March.
The necessity of this change is emphasized just
now. Hoover is President, and yet knows that
he can carry to the end no policy he outlines. Mr.
Roosevelt is President-elect, but he must wait four
months before assuming his duties. Mr. Hoover's de
sire to secure joint action implies joint responsibility
and agreement. In view of the wide difference of
policies, as emphasized during the campaign, agree
ment is impossible.
The Norris amendment comes too late to meet the
present crisis, but the need of it shows its wisdom.
Taking Inventory
Greenville Rejector
New Year is just around the corner, and men and
women who make a habit of keeping a check upon
themselves will turn their attention to inventory. This
will not only mark those who constitute the business
world, but countless others who wish to know what
they have done to improve their own lives.
Inventorying is a very important thing. It shows
what one has to carry over into the new year, and
that carried over represents largely achievements of
the past year.
Some of us probably did not achieve as much as
we would have liked. In fact, many of us were not
able to make desired progress in a material way be
cause of unusual business conditions, but we still
have the same physical resources and possibilities to
carry over into the new year, and if properly, the
close of another year should find us considerably
farther than we are today.
The spiritual side of life should not be forgotten as
we bring the inventory to an end.' It is one of the
most important factors in retrospect, and if given the
consideration which it so surely deserves, should
strengthen us for the great task ahead, causing us to
reach new heights of achievement.
Good Medicine
Edenton Daily News
Mayor-elect Carson, of Portland, Oregon, has pre
scribed some good medicine for public consumption.
He said: "We must quit asking the government to be
a wet nurse to everything.
"We must realize that the people support the gov
ernment, not that the government supports the people.
"We can not get out of debt by going farther into
debt.
We must cut the cost of government, for in that
way lies the only avenue of relief at present.
"I am not an alarmist, but we must admit that none
of us knows whether or not we have hit the bottom
in this deflation of credits that is now going on.
"We must maintain the stability of the economic
order, must preserve our institutions; if we do not,
it will mean that we are breaking the last timber that
holds the roof of protection over our heads.
"The protection of life, property and health are the
fundamental duties of our government. All else is
superflous. We must hold to these fundamentals and
turn our back upon these other intriguing things, if
we to bold what we have and build solidly for the
future."
Portland is fortunate to have elected a mayor who
has the courage to advocate such practical and fun
damental American ideas.
THE BNTBRPRIS
QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS AS TO
FARM PROBLEMS
-
Question; How can I keep my
turnips from freezing during the win
ter?
Answer: The outdoor hill or bank
is probably the best system to use.
Uocate the hill on a well-drined piece
of ground tht is convenient to the
house or rod. Put down a six-inch
layer of straw and arrange a. venti
lator to extend from the bottom of the
hill to a little above the top. Pile the
turnips around this ventilator and
cover with a six-inch layer of straw.
Keep the ventilator open for the first
week or ten days unless it is freezing
weather. After this, if the weather is
extremely cold, add a four-inch layer
of soil. •
Question: When is the best time
to prune Muscadine grape vines? •
Answer: ' All grapes of the Musca
dine variety should be pruned during
the latter part of November or in
December. Later pruning will often
result in Tileeding. In pruning, re
move as much- of the old wood as
possible and save a large number of
the one-year canes. Each vine, how
ever, should be handled individually
as too" heavy cutting on vigorous
plant has a tendency to upset the
balance of the vine.
Question. —How many hens should
be placed with one male for the single
mating?
Answer. —With the light breeds, not
over 20 hens should be placed in the
pen and this number should be re
duced to 16 with the heavy breeds. A
careful check on th'e> first hatching
should be made from all matings, and
if the hatch shows low fertility, a
new male should be introduced.
