Tuesday, March 31, 1936 The Soil Conservation Program There is in creasing evidence as the days and years go by that we can find time to do only those things we want to do, regardless of the dear price we might pay for leaving undone some thing. Last Saturday afterfioun, the soil conservation program, a program that has the possibility of pulling agriculture out of the mire, was explained by a special representative of the government. Not more than 300 farmers, or just about one-fifth of the number growing tobacco in this county attended. The program, while it might be a bit complicated in its minute details, holds the key to success for the farmer, but yet only about one-fifth of the far mers found time or would give two hours of their time to a study of its provisions. The other four fifths will trust to a hit-and-miss methods, a method that has already cost farmers millions of dollars. No doubt, many of them will wait until its too late to learn about the program, and then wail and try to shift the blame to some other person. The representative explained that now is the time to get the program straightened out, that next sum mer will be too late for action. While participation is strictly voluntary, the pro gram has tlie |)ower to aid agriculture, place it on a plain of equality with other industry, but if the twelve hundred farmers who could not or did not find time to attend the meeting fail to cooperate with the other one-fifth, then many of the possible benefits will never be realized. There is one good thing to remember and that is the program can help agricul ture U the farmers will permit it to operate to its limit. It is advisable for every farmer to learn all the details of the program before he plants an acre of ground to any crop. He owes, at least that much to himself, his wife and his children. The World Needs Better Leaders The German people sustained Hitler by a very large vote in their Sunday election. It appears, how ever, that the Hitler ideas had been drilled into the voters lor weelts, and the military step was the order of march to the polling places. The votes to sustain Hitler were called valid, while those against his poli cies were called invalid ballots. The world needs better leaders. The Germans would remember the favors shown by the allied armies but for the Hitler leadership. They are much like the traditional jointed snake. It makes no difference how hard you hit them, nor how many pieces they are broken into; when you agitate them, they will come together again. Jurors Just Human Greensboro News. Following the disagreement of a jury which he charged to return a verdict of guilty if it believed the testimony of the defendant, Judge Vernon G. Cowper, presiding over Beaufort County Superior court, has declared a mistrial in the case of an osteopath charg ed with practicing without a license. We share to a degree the impatience of the judge; for there was clear-cut evidence to the effect that the osteopath before the bar had gone much farther in th use of drugs and medicaments than his D. O. degree entitled him to go. And yet we know some thing of the causes of the reluctance of the jurors to bring in a verdict of guilty. Doctors of medicine are almost the only members of the body politic who have the feeling that there is anything sacrosanct about the prescription of drugs. Nearly every com munity has a pharmacist who in effect does almost as much prescribing as its leading physician, and a lgrge proportion of the population still believes the label of a patent medicine in preference to the word of a doctor of medicine. It is not, however, that the self-doftorers are so sure of themselves as they are uncertain about the doctors. And hence when an osteopath goes in for a bit of therapy, or even surgery on the side, they are not alarmed; but deem it more a matter of fees than the protection of those paying the same. Not one word will we utter in condonement of this attitude on the part of the jurors. Judge Cowper did well to discharge 'em. But we often wonder if there should not lie some understanding reached as among osteo|>aths and surgeons, pharamcists and physicians and optometrists and oculists as to first aid to be administered where it is clear that neither life nor limb is at stake.
