Everybody ought to know we can't sell our pota toes at 1 cent a pound in June and pay 4 cents a pound in August for those we eat, and-prosper. The buy-a-barrel program will mean vastly more for the buyer than it will for the seller. Buy a barrel of full-grown ripe potatoes that were dug when cool; keep the hot sun off of them, set them in a shady place in a ventilated barrel and every one will keep until Christmas unless it is cut or bruised. The saving will be the difference between the present 1 cent a pound price to the farmer and 4 cents that one will have to pay his grocerymin in the fall. A small family?say, of four people?will need two barrels, and add a barrel for each two [terson* in the family, which means that $1 will buy potatoes for one- person dor tia months.?l'r?ny <-h?.ap inrW.t if you buy them from your neighbor farmer. The Slot Machine Should Go There seems to be a strung drive developing against the slot machine in this state. Certainly there is no more merciless robber in the country than the slot machine. It robs children and old folks, too, and spares none. In a little cross-roads store in a near-by county lehre are two slot machines and a few cigarettes, no candy or cracker*. The slot machines get all the candy and cracker money. The sheriff of that county is nut duing his duty. He needs to smash those machines, take the money and turn it over to the school fund, as well as indict the store operator and. above all, arrest the fellow who owns the machine and drives by every week with a big car, unlocks the machine, and carries the peo ple's money away. He is the menace. We owe thanks to Martin County's sheriff for de stroying every machine he finds. Making the NRA Permanent This should sound good, since it comes from a goodly number of leading business men of the coun try. They say the NRA needs to lie the keystone for business in the future. This is an admission that our past methods have been unfair, cruel, and crush ing. The NRA is nothing more than a balance wheel for the purpose of giving every man a just reward for his part of the job. We must have it, or we cannot pros per, either as individuals or as a nation. Our former methods in business have brought all the profits to a few from the many, making some very rich and some very poor, creating two classes of'peo ple who cannot be happy. Last People To Want a Strike Of all the people in the country that should not want a strike, it is the steel industry. They have always hated publicity. In fact, they have shown themselves unwilling for the public to know just what they do on the inside. They are the same fellows who closed the doors against the inves tigation of social conditions in their industry by the Federal Council of Churches a number of years ago. The people in the steel business, and the people outside, are almost like two worlds. One cannot find out what the other is doing. The steel trust has never suffered in either good or bad times, and it doesn't want too much publicity. Defaulters and Defaulters Twelve nations have defaulted in their payment to us this month. But that isn't so much. We know of one little groceryman who had U customers to default on their payments last week Now just meditate on the dif ference in the debts. Our neighboring countries owe us for materials to kiU folks with, while the folks owe the grocerytnaa for materials to keep them alive. Quite a difference, you tee. Protecting Timber Lends The Department of Conservation is attempting to put a fire-fighting service into effect in Martin Coun ty This would be mooey well spent?that of con serving our timber lands from destruction by fire. It is hard to find a tract of land of much size in Eastern North Carolina that has not been ravaged by fire during the past decade, and the last two years have bene the worst in the history of the state. Cigarette smoking and hunting are said to be the cause of more forest fires than all others combined. The general public, and even the land owners, seem to have lost their consciousness in the matter of for est fires. If the public could rise to the proper appre ciation of the need to preserve the timberlands of our state and would do its full duty to prevent fires; and. if from any cause fire breaks out, do their full duty in helping to put it out then we would need no fire war dens. Vet the public has become so careless and un dependable that something needs to be done for the general protection of timberlands. When one man lets the fire spread from his own trash heap to another man's land, he needs to be tak en to court. Falling Back on the Old Leaders ?? The State Democratic convention, which will be assembled at Raleigh next Thursday; "presents T80HR new angles in North Carolina politics. First of all, it will present Cameron Morrison as a leader. This is the same Cameron Morrison so much hated only two years ago, when he was turned down by a big majority when he was campaigning against Robert R. Reynolds lor the United States Senate. The fact that such men as Morrison are called back to leadership in the Democratic councils is evidence party, who are unwilling to see the party wrecked on the rocks of prejudice and ignorance. No party can live long without at least some vir tues. Those fellows who act on the impulses of preju dices and with the hope that they can ride into office on such tactics are our most dangerous political ene mies. * Voters should weigh them before they embrace their policies. A Crown on an Uneasy Head "Uneasy is the head that wears a crown" is a trite but true saying, so far as the Cuban president is con cerned. He cannot tell whether he will be blown up at the next step he takes, oi whether -rt?wtff Louie at the midnight hours. One thing he does know, how ever, and that is that they are after hint. It is undoubtedly true that it is better to lie poor than it is to be rich. Job tot Brains ?Vetus and Observer. In North Carolina today no group ? more inter ested in the future fiscal welfare of the State and in the ability of the Slate to recover the losses made in education than the same group from which President Roosevelt in the nation is picking the so-called Brain Trust. Would it not be a good idea for the men who de vote themselves to study of government, politics and economics at the University, State College, the Wom an's College, and utliei institutions to contribute a little brain work to a plan for a sound fiscal system for North Carolina which would provide funds neces sary to an advancing State and at the same time not serve as a drag upon consumption or a further aid in the sickening concentration of wealth into the hands of a few? Such a thing has been done by professors in another Stale, and there seems to be no good reason why it could not be done in North Carolina. In New Jer sey, Dr. Harold Willis Dodds, the new president of Princeton, two years ago served his state by leading just such a movement. Heading 20 other Princeton experts,, none of whom missed a class during their four months in public service, Dr. Dodds worked out a "Princeton Plan" of governmental reoraniiation which showed New J?ey how by judicious savings and new revenues $4^00,000 could be added to the state's income. This "Princeton Plan" might not be applicable to North Carolina in any way, but there is merit in the method by which it was worked out. North Car olina today has a Brain Trust on its pay roll. No harm could be done but rather much good might be derived from the use of it in planning to meet a fu ture which does not promise to be simple. Note On Brains Xrws and Observer. With the appointment of North Carolina's own Dr. Claudius Murthison to the Brain Trust as director ol the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, it is interesting to remember that this post was held by the "big brain" of the old "practical" days.of the Hoover administration, Dr. Julius Klein. It was Dr. Klein who said in January, 1930, that: "The stock market crash affected approximately only 1,000,000 people, the speculative element. It was Dr. Klein who declared in May, 1930, that: "Business is gradually, but unmistakably coming out I of the depression." It was I)r. Klein who announced in June,1911,that: "The depression has ended. The valley usually runt across six or seven months. If history repeats itself this means that in July up we go." North Carolina presents Dr. Murchison with al modesty to the Brain Trust. Indeed, Dr. Murchisor and Dr. Tugwell, el al, may not possess all the brain; necessary to the solution of all the problems. They may make mistakes, but they have plenty of room for error before they match the demonstration of fool ishness presented by the "big brain" who was entirely satisfactory to the "practical" Hoover administratior and the Old Guard politicians and business men be hind it. BEAN BEETLE COSTLY PEST Garden and Truck Growers Again Paced With Problem ? Again this season, growers of snap beans, butter or lima beans will be faced with the problem of controlling the Mexican Bean Beetle, said to be one of the most troublesome of North , Carolina's insect pests. | "This- beetle feeds on the under ? side of the bean leaves and usually the larvae, as well as the adult insect will be found feeding on a plant," says , C. H. Brannon, extension entomolo gist at State College. "When the in festation is severe, all parts of the bean plant above the ground are fed upon and the plant may be complete ly destroyed. Injury to cowpeas and soybeans Is llso bad, t>Ut Ilie~ ticefter rarely feed upon the stems and pods of these plants." -t- In controlling the bean beetle, Mr. Brannon warns growers to keep in mind that the bean plant is very ten Tder and can be easily injured by too 1 strong poisons. He says the right poison must In- used, and it must be applied in *xact amounts. The poison must also reach the underside of the leaves. Where the beans are grown in small areas, as in gardens, 5 level table spoons of magnesium arsenate to 3 gallons of water makes a good spray for beetle cotflrol, A mixture for large areas may be prepared by using I 1 pound of the magnesium arsenate to 50 gallons of water, applied at the rate of about VU to 100 gallons of the mixture u> an acre of beans I Mr. Brannon recommends that the treatment begin as soon as the beetles appear in the field, and if the insects are numerous, the treatment should he repeated every week or 10 days. Often three or four applications are neces sary, but usually two careful spray ings are sufficient for snap beans. NO WASTE FEED V/HEN SILO USED Feed Crops Lose Only A Small Part of Value If Stored In Silos Corn and other feed crops lose only a very small part of their food value when stored in silos as compared j with a 25 to 35 per cent loss when same crops aie shocked and fed, lii a dry form. 1 This heavy loss of dried TropS iS| due, largely to weather deterioation and waste at feeding time, says John A. Arey, extension dairyman at N. C. | State College. , He pointed out that silage is the | nearest approach to good succulent | June pasture that farmers in this | State can grow for winter feeding. It is also an excellent supplement for pasturage in dry weather. j Either corn or sorghum can he used for silage. Usually sorghum i will produce a larger tonnage and | more nutriment pec acic, hut corn is generally preferred by most dairy NttfIt; Sorghum is easily blown down and is harder to harvest in that con dition. Parmunskey and Eureka are the two leading varieties of corn used in thts^ ^tate for silage. The prottific varieties are also used by many dairy men who desire a larger percentage -of grain than is produced by the sil age varieties. Japanese seeded rib jbon :ane is one of the best varieties of sorghum for silage. The best time to plan corn or sorg hum for silage is between now and June 15. Later plantings are more subject to drouth. The advent of the trench silo has made it possibly fof owners of small herds to profitably proyide their cows with succulent winter feed. Three or four tons should be preserved for each animal. On tire average, eortv will produce a ton of silage for each five bushels of grain. CONTROL BUGS WITH POISONS Calcium Arsenate Effective i In Killing Potato Bugs and Other Insects ? Ordinary calcium arseante, such as has been used for years in dusting cotton to control the boll weevil, makes an effective and economical poison for control of the Colorado i Potato Beetle or potato bug. I "The calcium arsenate may be used as a dust or as a spray and in either case will give effective control," says C. H. Brannon, extension entomol ogist at State College. "If the cal cium arsenate is used, there is no need to apply any additional poison for the material is absolutely effective and is the cheapest material we would recommend. When using it as a dust, cover the plants well. *'The amount to use will, of course, depend on the sice of the plants." | Mr. Brannon says the dust may be applied with one of the hand dusters used in applying the calcium arsenate to cottpn. There is little danger of the potato plants with the material but there is no reason for wasting the posion by using too much. ~t While the dust method Of applica tion is probably the most economical, a good spray mixture can be made by using two pounds of the arsenate in SO gallons of water. For small areas. such as may be found about tlfc aver- (i age home, a spray may be made by (i mixing 10 * tablespoon ?ful in three t gallons of water Whichever form is used, start the applications as soon as the potato \ bugs appear in numbers and continue i the applications just as often as thr I beetles continue to infest the plants, i' Use Bordeaux Mixture for Control ol Flea Beetles Effectual control of all potato pests may be secured by spraying with a poisoned Bordeaux mixture at fre quent intervals^ during the growing season. See your farm agent for di rections as to how to make this mix- i ture. If the potato field is not con veniently located near a water supply, a commercially prepared poisoned Bordeaux can be bought and usrd as a dust. About ten pounds of this dust should be uaed to the acre for each dusting when vines ar^ full grown.
