C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879.___ Friday, May 6, 1932 Slow To Take Up Gardening Peope are slow to take up gardening, even when free seed are offered them. It may be that some had rather beg than work. Many people need more intia tive in life. They have depended so long on the pay envelope and tin can that they have apparently lost all touch with the primary things of life. They wait for the other fellow to make the job and prepare the food. They forget that one seed planted in the soil will bring forth a hundred in the harvest. Yet many of them will eat one grain of corn now rather than work a little and wait until next fall for a full ear. We must get away from the idea of grinding the seed corn for present use. \\ e must look better to the seed time if we expect a bountiful harvest. Propitious for Livestock The low prices of all feedstuffs should be an en couragement to stadily expand the livestock and poul try industry of the state. Not enough poultry and poultry products, dairy products, beef and mutton and pork are being produced to meet the needs of the state at the present. This is especially true of dairy products on a home basis. Corn, hay, and other feed stuffs will not demand such a profitable price in the markets but will pay a profit when fed to livestock. The outlook for seeds is not any too bright, but North Carolina needs a larger supply of cheap certi fied seeds which may be used to plant legumes for soil building, for hay, and other purposes.—Agricul tural Editor, State A. and E. College. Our Chief Resource It is a wise people who would build a democracy in which the training and opportunities of youth are not allowed to go up and down with the stock market but are kept equal, high, and as constant as the life stream of the people. We must pay on time dollar for dollar, and interest, too. To tear down is a waste ful way to pay up. The schools and colleges are the chief resources with which in the long run the public debt will be paid. Let us pay off the long-running debt by the long-run building up of the latent capaci ties and creative power of the people.—President \ Frank Graham. Daylight Saving Time Daylight saving time seems to puzzle many people. Many of the large towns are adopting it in an effort to get the folks up a little earlier. Country people go to bed early and get up early. Town and city folks generally sit up half the night and sleep half the day. This accounts for a lot of the extra cost of living in towns and cities. The sun— the best light in all the world—is perfectly free to all creatures, and most of them use it in the day and sleep at night, except a few slimy worms, night hawks, and dangerous "varmints.” On the other hand, lots of humans sleep in the day and buy electricity for night use. Daylight saving time will mean millions saved to the people of the United States if they will only observe it. As it now is. the farmer is about the only fellow who uses the day to work and the night to rest. It will be a decided advantage when we all get to gether for pleasure and work. Daylight is an aid to good works—darkness aids evil. A Duty of the Congress Secretary of the Treasury Mills warns Congress not to tamper with the currency. Certainly, he does not want the country to handle the money of the coun try. The rich bankers now dominate our entire mon etary system, which is one of the principal troubles with business today. Congress ought to take hold of the entire circulat ing system of all kinds of currency. Then Mr. Mills, Mr. Morgan, and Mr. Mellon will not make quite so much money, and the common run of folks who do the work and the producing will get more. Knowledge Our Greatest Asset Don’t let anything destroy the schools. It is true they may not have been just what we would have had them be during the past 15 years, yet the best money we have spent has been for schools, and the best money we will spend during the coming ten years will be for education. Knowledge is our greatest asset. A properly edu cated man dressed in rags is worth a lot more to him self and his community than a ‘dressed-up fool.’’ Massachusetts a Poor Barometer — Massachusetts has no desire to elect a Democratic President. What that state has tried to do for 60 years is to crush the Democratic party and milk the South and West. If the Democratic party chooses Massachusetts as a national barometer, it will be sure to run into a storm before the fall passes.
