Martin's Claim for Refunds
The Raleigh News and Observer's Tndri the
Dome?Capitol News and Comment strikes a btow
at the claims of counties of the state and likens thrit
growing proclivities to that of a big snowball.
There may be some truth in this about thr claim
of some counties Not sn with Martio County, how
ever, whose money went directly to tin building oi
a state and national highway. bring one of thr link
in the route from Florida to New York tsre map of
l". S. Highway No. 17). and includes the building of
a bridge across the Roanoke River, for which the
county contributed $150,000.
The whole of the Martin County claim is fur monry
advanced to build through traffic routes, all interstate
Not a single penny is claimed fur buildiug a county
tiade road. It all went for roads that the stale and
nation were relieved of building and which should
have been paid for by them.
H would not be fair to refund muncy to a nainly
for county trade roads without regard lor traffic of
general state or national importance
Landon Changes His Tune
It would seem that Governor London is very much
embarrassed whenever he faces his former praise of
President Roosevelt and his New Deal Now, to
please his big campaign backers, he has to complete
ly change his former attitude and turn his praise into
abuse.
Now which shall we believe ? Thr I-andon who
praised Roosevelt and the New Deal when the banks
were saved, thr people enabled to make enough monry
to pay taxes and interest, buy automobiles, farm and
build homes', or shall we believe thr 1-andon who
speaks of the glory of the Hoover administration,
witli its" getieial wholesale failurrs of the duties?of
government under the domination of thr money glut

You would do well to remember thr Hoover fail
ures. caused by the dictatorship of thr muory power.
and rally to the President who gave you good prices
and made better business fur ibr country at large
What the money power dislikes about Roosevelt is
that he will not permit them to fix thr prices on your
cotton and tobacco, as well as all other
and labor. Do not be deceived.
The Curse of Alcohol
Two investigators of the Nash County ABC Board
were attacked and shot last week, each seriously and
one dangerously wounded, by alleged moonshiners.
One of the promises of the liquor people was that
the law would be enforced. But they failed to re
member that liquor has been a curse since Noah got
drunk and pronounced a curse on Ham for laughing
at his drunken father. Think of how much trouble'
the drunken antics of men have caused the world since
that time.
Who can stand up and justify the drinking of al
cohol'
The Comptroller's Job
KaskviUe Graphic
.According to observers in Washington, Congress
man Lindsay Warren is President Roosevelt's first
choice fur the highly coveted position of Comptroller
(ieneral of the United Stales. Appointment to such
a position of power will be a distinct honor for the
North Carolina solon and one that should arouse pride
in him-from his constituents.
On the contrary, the news that Roosevelt will un
doubtedly extend the position to Warren has aroused
a feeling oT regret in his constituents. Possibly it is
natural
Congressman Warern has bean renominated la his
present office for six terms and during that time he
has rrndered a valuable service to his district. The
regret arises not because the President sets such a
high value on the Cosqpessman s ability but because
the district will lose Its trusted servant.
We are inclined to experience the same reaction.
If Congressman Warren accepts the Comptroller's
office, his district must fight it out to select his suc
cessor. Congressmen with Warren's ability are not
easy to find and the searching would probably end
in a lot of bitterness.
Rich Men's Money
Hertford County Herald
One of the most popular subjects of discussion is
that of the so-called redistribution of wealth. Few
stop to think that the process is going on all the time,
and has been from the beginning of time There is
an old saying that it is "only three generations from
shirt-sleeves to shirt Jeeves." In other words, no
matter how much a man may accumulate in bis own
lifetime, his great-grandsons will have to go to work
?to ?build' up their own * fortunes.
Sometimes the process is speeded up. The very
rich find it more and more difficult to keep their foi
tunes intact. It is a sound axiom that it is always
harder to keep money than it is to get-it. And the
more intelligent the temporary possessor of great
wealth is, the less concerned he is about keeping it.
The late Andrew Carnegie said that it was a dis
grace for a man to die rich; and a recent court pro
cedure disclosed that the trust fund which he set up
to provide for his wife and daughter amounted to less
than one-tenth of his fortune; the rest he gave away
during his life or left in his will for public and philan
thropic purposes.
When J. P. Morgan sailed for Europe a few days
ago he remarked to newspaper men that in another
30 years there would not be any more great fortunes
left in America. John D. Rockefeller, jr., returning

of the French government for gifts of many millions
to restore some historic edifices, told ship-news re
porters that he thought Mr. Morgan was giving
present-day fortunes a pretty long time to live.
But the history of humanity is that new men of
ability and force are always rising from the mass,
building new fortunes for themselves, which they and
their familie^ enjoy for a generation or two, to be in
their turn dissipated. So it has been from the begin
ning, and so it will always be.

Get Ready To Sow
Fall Cover Crops
Before September
Middle To Latter Part Of
August Is Time To Cut
Lespedeza for Hay
Augiut is the month to start
sowing (all cover crops, said E. C.
Blair, extension agronomist at
State College.
Vetch or crimson clover may be
sown in cotton when it has been
laid by, or in corn or tobacco which
have already been laid by, he said.
Scatter the seed and cover it with
a cultivator.
Crimson clover may be sown in
the hull during August, but will
not give good results if this type of
seed is sown later. Thirty pounds
is enough for an acre. The rate for
vetch is 20 to 25 pounds to the acre.
Early in the month, prepare land
that is to be sown in alfalfa by put.
ting on lime and fertilizer as need
ed. Sow the seed during the latter
part of the month, preferably the
last week of August.
The variety of alfalfa beast adap
ted to North Carolina is the Kansas
common. It should be seeded nt
the rate of 25 pounds to the acre.
Most land requires three tons of
lime per acre, 600 pounds of super
phosphate, and 200 pounds of mu
riate of potash.
Early planted soybeans will be
ready to cut for hay in August,
Blair continued. Many farmers
wait three to six weeks too late to
cut their soybeans.
The best hay is secured when the
beans are cut while the pods are
small, and before any beans have
formed in the pods. Some authori.
ties recommend that the plant be
cut while in bloom.
The usual practice of waiting un
til the beans are almost mature
gives a mixture of beans and straw
instead of hay.
Lespedeza for hay should be cut
when it blooms, which usually oc
curs from the middle to the latter
part of August, depending upon the
variety and certain other conditions.
Success Attributed. To
Wfoes and Jersey Cows
A majority of the eight farmers
awarded Master Farmer certificates
by the Progressive Farmer and the
Agricultural Extension Service at
State College last week attributed
their success to good wives and
Jersey cows.
