One For .411
The task of electing a president for the term
begining next January is mighty nigh com
plete at this time. Mud-slinging and unfair tac
tics have marred the campaign with the guilt
resting on the shoulders of those who hold
membership in both parties. However regret
table it may be, the practice is common to our
way of government and its principles guaran
teeing freedom of speech along with other cher
ished liberties. Just so long as an individual or
group of individuals can shout to the world
the attacks read and heard these past few weeks
one can rest assured that the foundation of
Democracy remains intact.
The ballots are yet to be counted, but tomor
row the banner of one of the two nominees will
wave triumphant. Regardless of who holds
that banner, we, as a united people, should re
member that it is our banner he holds, that
we must rally behind that banner, join the
march and ever push forward that the Ameri
can way of life might be handed to the suc
ceeding generation unimpaired.
We, as a people, must remember, too, that
the election of a President and Vice President
does not offer a solution to the far-reaching
problem facing us today. Able and courageous
leadership is needed for any undertaking if
success is to be attained, but the degree of suc
cess our government attains these next four
years is to be determined by the people, as a
whole and not by any one leader, group of
leaders or by any one party. A united front is
necessary if we are to achieve the goal exem
plifying the American way of life. Good gov
ernment and progress are not instituted into
the people; good government and progress
comes out of the people. If we challenge the
leadership of the next administration, if we
do everything in our power to sabotage its
plans, irrespective of value or merit, we will
have done much to hinder and cripple the
march of progress that has been so marked
these past seven and one-half years.
With world conditions as they are and with
uncertainty and imperative changes of mo
mentous significance staring us in the face, the
future does not look so bright. Possibly our
economic system will have to be adjusted even
altered to some extent to cope with a program
of a world gone mad But as long as men are
free, as long as men feel they are sharing fair
ly in the fruits of their own labor and initia
tive. there is not so much for us in this part
of the world to worry about. We dare say there
is no problem that cannot be solved partially
or in its entirety by a people who are assured
that their leaders have not broken faith with
them.
There is a huge debt hanging over the na
tion, but we dare say that that debt can be
paid far more easily today under present con
ditions than the much smaller one could have
been paid back in 1932-33 under conditions as
they existed then. The same declaration can
be made with equal certainty for the other
problems that face this nation.
To accomplish the common tasks before us
we must cast aside partianship, fight for that
which is right and fight against that which
is wrong.
Roosevelt or Willkie, the government in
Washington is still that of the people. May the
people recognize that ownership and cherish
the right to support and enjoy it. Today there
are two nominees, but tomorrow it will be one
champion for all.

Editors And Agents
Comprise Farm I nit
Weekly newspaper editors and
county farm and home agents make
up a team that has been one of the
most potent forces in the improve
ment of farming and rural living in
the past 25 years Those are the sen
timents of M 1. Wilson, director of
extension for the U S Department
of Agriculture. Director 1 O. Schaub
of the State College Extension Serv
ice says he heartily concurs in the
views expressed by the Federal lead- I
er.
Of the beginning of this period of |
team work. Director Wilson says.
"The United States was nearing the
end of the row as far as new land |
was concerned. In the more care
fully cultivated sections, farming
methods lagged behind experimental
advances in agricultural science. In
to this picture stepped the county
agent and traveled from farm to
farm on foot, on horseback and in
buggies.
?On the country editor the agent
leaned heavily from the earliest
days. Usually the work of the coun
ty agent made good newspaper copy.
Frequently he would write a column
of his own in the weekly paper and
his writings were compact with good
?Judged solely as a job in praiti
I cal, popular education.-the achieve
ment of the county agent ranks high
in American social history. The
county agent is now equipped with
an automobile and a clerical hirer
I his office, but is most frequently
to be found at some farm tulking
about crops and rural improvements.
The weekly editor is still one of his
most highly valued allies."
To this Director Schaub of tin (
North Carolina Extension Service
adds "Agricultural extension work
simply is giving information about
better ways of farm living and one
of the best methods of reaching a ,
farm audience is through the col
umns of local papers whose editors
the farm people know and trust'
I "Since the summer of 11114 exclu
I sive copy for weekly papers has
been mailed each week from the of
fice of Frank II Jeter, State College
editor The weekly newspapers or
North Carolina have, since the be
ginning, given liberally of their
space to this cooperative program of
rural betterment."
Income
The U. S. Bureau of Agricultural
Economics estimates that the- 11141
farm income will be about $9,00 ,
000 and may reach the highest point
since 1929 '
