C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Friday, April 24. 1936 IVorse Than Death Repudiations of principles and truth is worse than death. It is only IS years since Germany signed a covenant not to enter the Rhineland with armed, forces, which covenant she has fuly repudiated with in recent months. When we look at the world upheaval, debts, and distresses caused by the great World War, the horror of which is fully attested by thousands of tombstones throughout Europe. Asia, and other parts of the world, we wonder what fools men can be. Vet when we see them get together in the spirit of their better selves and solemnly agree and covenant not to en gage in any such horrid deeds any more and then see them deliberately violate their agreements, so soon, we must think the repudiation of their agree ments a far greater crime than the actual slaughter already committed. Germany’s sole intention is at the first opportune moment to bear down on France and slaughter a mil lion of her men, despoil her country and starve more of her women and children. Turkeys seems determined to refortify the Dar danelles, where she slaughtered many thousand Eng lish, Australians and French, whose bodies lie buried in one of the world’s great cemeteries on the Euro pean side of this notable waterway. All these repudiations come because these merci less nations propose to kill more folks some day; yet the rank and file of the Turks and Germans do not want war. It is the rulers and grafters. Japan and Italy have have both taken the view that the people of the world are so anxious for peace that they will stand by and let them go on slaying and killing Chinese and Ethiopians and avoid a general war. The only thing needed was for the United States to enter the League of Nations in order to make the covenant safe and secure. Had we done the honor able thing, Japan would not have entered China, Italy would not be in Ethiopia, Germany would not have troops on the Rhine, and Turkey would not be pre paring to kill along the Da»daneIIes. In addition, the world would have saved many billion in war ex penditures. It may be that since man has so little knowledge of how to save himself from the corrupt rules that God may have to rain storms of hailstones to kill a few Hitlers, Mussolinis, sultans, and American graft ers and profiteers and destroy them, just as He did five kings on the Philistine plains in past centuries. A Questionable Recommendation In a hearing on confirmation of bids for Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company stock owned by the United Commercial Bank, Judge J. Hoyle Sink made the statement that he could see no reason why the recommendation of the commissioner of banks, Gurney P. Hood, should be accepted, and the recom mendation which was for acceptance of the bid— was wholly and flatly rejected and denied. The language used by the court would seem to in dicate that there was either something wrong with the recommendation or that the judge was rather terse' in his comments. The grounds of the court for rejecting the recommendation seemed to be based on the fact that the bid favored by the banking com missioner had been raised by a new bidder by $25 per share; which seemed to be a good reason and makes us wonder why Mr. Hood would recommend a thing that would take more than $3,000 from the bank’s creditors, unless he was thinking of the interest of the old bidder rather than the interests of the bank's creditors and the new bidder. Before and After Angus Dhu McLean’s speech over the radio in re cent weeks presented the second part of a perfect parallel with the type of advertisements used in form er years by patent-medicine manufacturers. First, there used to be the picture of an emaciated, sickly looking man, woman, boy or girl, with the words “Before taking” under it; adjoining it would be the picture of the same person, robust, hale and hearty, with the words “After taking one bottle” un derneath. “Before taking” the Honored Angus 1). McLean, while a legislator representing Beaufort County in the General Assembly of North Carolina, presented the true picture of a statesman, standing up and battling for the populace to receive an equal chance with oth ers. Then, “After taking,” standing before the micro phone as A. D. McLean. Incorporated, he apparently represented the interests of tax-dodging wealth, while the downtrodden continue to struggle on, with yoke galls on their necks, and Mr, McLean sings no song of deliverance from their heavy loads. While Mr. McLean cannot be criticized as a legila tor, because he was true to his people when he rep resented them, the picture has changed mightily. Mr. McLean has taken a large dose of tax-dodging money, and he now has to be true to his corporations. First in pulling power ...

Corn is grown in every county of the State and on 91 percent of the farms, said Dr. G. K. Middleton, in charge of corn and small grain re search for the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station. Yet the average corn yield per acre in the State is only 18 bushels, lie said. A good farmer should se cure yields three times this amount. In fact, he stated, yields of 95 to 100 bushels per acre have been pro duced in this State. Good seed of a variety well a dapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the farm is one of the most important factors in produc ing a heavy yield. The importance of selecting a well suited variety may be illus trated by experiments conducted at the coastal plain branch experi ment station at Willard. Latham’s Double corn has pro duced a yield of 54.3 bushels per acre for the past six years. On similar fields at the experiment station, Reid’s Yellow Dent pro duced only 37.2 bushels.
