May 7. 1953 A; The People Pay Just The Same *. “Genera! Electric Company has reported *• the highest first quarter earnings in its his * tory.” reads a headline. "Du Font's net y* higher." reads another headline on the same Z page. We glory in the progress and earning £ power of the two companies, and all other j,. companies They are entitled to a profit on their investment and operations. We aren't griping because the corpora 1 lions are making money; we humbly point out that while the General Electric cleared earnings to the tune of $45,849,000 during the first three months of this year, farmers were taking a beating, and the Republican ad ministration in Washington worked over time to put the farmer on a self-help basis. It is admitted that tax dollars figured in the farmers' program, but not to the extent that some of our Republican friends would have us believe. Possibly, some tax dollars have figured in the programs followed by the corporations. Just the other day, the administration denied a British firm a con tract and gave it to one in this country at an aditional cost to the taxpayers of several million dollars. President Eisenhower wants to sell synthetic rubber plants worth hun dreds of millions of dollars to a few cor porations at a fraction of the cost. The taxpayer is looked to for support of the farm program. But it should be remem bered that the profits received by corpora tions do not come out of thin air. What is paid to swell corporation profits is. after all. little different from the tax dollar di verted to a program designed to help the farmer to get within ninety percent of a point where he can break even. kt M i H i r ^ j. M f I r ( *•: - n ! f f t I.* Handicritinp On The Wall Declared unfit for the job before he ever got it. \S iilis Smith is now having the hand writing on the wall pointed out to him bv his followers. Convinced he will not have a chance in the 1954 race for the United - States Senate, friends are said to be mak «' *ng plans to carry the sad news to Smith , in Washington. A While his followers will try to save his political hide. Willis Smith should run again, ,m making it possible foi the voters of North ^Carolina to correct the grave mistake they made when thev sent him to the Senate the first time. Now that they realize Smith is a gone duck, his conservative followers should also realize that North Carolina and many other state's do not need rock-ribbed conservative and corporation representatives in Washing ton. If the farmer and little man are to hold then own in a Wall Street dominated Washington, they must look to people of their own thought and mind to work for them in the nation’s capital. While there may be others suitable for the job Kerr Scott - is tailor-made for the task. Threatening The ttarrcl Having taken a stand to give away every thing except the moon and the sun where distance is simply too big an obstacle to overcome, the Republicans in Washington are intent on taking away the purchaser’s last line of protection—that offered by the Bureau of Standards. I If a corporation wants to make a product of questionable worth and fool the people into buying it, Commerce Secretary Weeks says that’s fine. It is his apparent opinion that if the buyer hasn’t any more sense than to buy something of questionable value, he should be played for a sucker. In other words, Mr. Weeks would put the consumer on the spot and laugh at him in time of need. I Ruling Himnclf Ineligible? President Dwight Eisenhower has promui , gated seven security factors which will ire taken into account in firing or hiring gov l ernment workers. Of course the President is safe behind the ! ballot, but under section (e) of the No. 1 fac j tor, the Chief Executive is treading on mighty thin ice. The section reads, “Any facts which furnish reason to believe that the individual mav be subjected to coercion, influence, or pressure which may cause him to act contrary to the bests interests of the national security," (would rule out the ip | plicant). Now, Mr. President has been having se cret callers while “shooting" golf down in Georgia. Until a certain man visited him on the course the President favored the St Lawrence Waterway project. It has boon pointed out that following the visit of that certain man. the President announced against the proposed project, that he even advanced arguments coming from the old opposition. The President is said to have later swung back to his first position, but it is fairly apparent that the President was misled by pressure or some other factor. Possibly the President’s stand on off-shore oil is traceable to polities, pure and simple, and without regard to Supreme Court de cisions. It is also apparent that the President is more concerned about the interest of the special interests than he is with the com mon interests Slicker* Jos. McCarthy, the guy who has ridden farther and faster on false accusations than any other man in history, is now offering to newspapers a special weekly column. A report from Washington says the spe culator senator is well pleased with the re quests for the trash. It is surprising how many people of good intentions can be “sucked in" when some thing is offered free A gift horse should be examined thoroughly, and the motive of the giver minutely checked. Joe McCarthy, on occasions could tell a bit of truth, but where the truth w-ould hurt McCarthy, McCarthy is not going to put it into his column. He is not expected to do so; then, why place a value on the rubbish he sends out? It is hard enough already for readers to separate news from propa ganda, and yet there is a move on to loose more of the vile propaganda Any thing coming from McCarthvism headquarters is to be trusted no farther than one could pitch a ton bull in a wet pasture. Wanton W a»ta The wanton waste traced to forest fires in this county is almost terrifying to those who see walls of fire leap to the tops of tall trees and cut them down. Others, removed from the scene, maintain a wall of indiffer ence around, act carelessly in handling fire and apparently think nothing of the thous ands of dollars worth of natural resources going up in smoke Few of us own timberlands and other na tural resources, and the direct loss is not felt by us. Rut the community is depend ent upon its natural resources. If there is no timber to be had, the saw mills close. The mill worker has no job and his wages arc lost to trade that affects just about everyone. A forest fire, causing a loss estimated at $100,000. swept a part of this county a lew days ago. It behooves everyone of us to guard against future fires and help check the wanton waste that has burned at the very base of our economy. 60 Second Sermons By Fred Dodge TEXT. “A few words of sincere praise on the hinges of a heart, will open it.”—Eff Thomas. The famous cartoonist, J. N. Darling, who signed his drawings "Ding”, was approach ed bv a friend who remarked. "You must gel a great deal of praise from all sides.” “Yes,” replied the cartoonist, “But no more than 1 need.” * * * One of the greatest yearnings of mankind is to be appreciated. In the hustle of our own little worlds, we neglect to tell others that we see their merits And, in our hearts, we wish that someone would recognize us, too. When a word of praise is given, no mat ter how modest we are, our hearts swing open a little wider. We can’t help our selves. In our mortal hands there is one great power we can use to build a brotherhood among men and nations. It is found in words of sincere praise. Why should we hold It back when the need is so great, the method so easy and the end so worthy? JUST /Al TIM?— !'M CL?ANI!AI& Ol‘T "TH?

Answer: Possible methods of continuing fusarium wilt in cot ton have been the subject of study [by plant pathologists and plant breeders fol a great many years. As a result, economical and high ly effective means have been de veloped Control involves the use of wilt resistant varieties and ade quate potash fertilization. First, l plant a wilt resistant variety. Ap ply kainit or muriate of potash as the most effective sources of potash. See your county agent for more detailed information. Question: What is the first thing that I should do in starting a beef cattle herd? Answer: In establishing a herd of beef cattle the first considera tion should be the selection of a breed—the breed to suit you and your farming conditions. There is so very little difference be tween the leading beef brands that the choice is largely a matter of individual preference. The foundation females can be com mon native stock, grades or pure breds. But in general the inex perienced farmer should start with native or grade females be cause they involve a smaller in vestment. * » • Question: How can I free my chickens of red mite? Answer: When this chicken mite, one of the most harmful of all external parasites, becomes well established, remove the perch poles in the chicken house so that the poles and theiu sup ports can be well treated. All dried manure should be removed. If the pe' ch poles are not detach able, they should be made so. Sweep down the inner walls of the house and remove all litter from the nests, floor and away fivitality of the house. Choir Festival Sunday Iri River Hill Chinch The P T A.
