ANCESTOR WORSHIP
Honoring of parents or other
worthyV forbears is most commend
able, but the extremes to which
some people carry their pride of
ancestry is somewhat- amusing.
We see many, worthless offspring
frorn high-class' parentage, while
on the other hand many persons
born in obscurity have made not
able success in life.
The divine right of kings was
founded on ancestry, usually begin
ning with some political or military
upstart. The American "4()0" was
founded on the wealth of shrewd,
uncouth traders and schemers, of
the early days'.
While the fetish of ancestry i
still worshipped by many, it is be
coming out of date and nowadays
a man must amount to something
in his own right if he would be
held in high esteem.
As a recent writer has well said:
"Humanity's sense of justice would
be outraged if descendants of a
criminal justly hanged, say, three
hundred years ago, should still lie
under the infamy of that ancestor.
Why, then, should glory attach to
the worthles's descendant of a
hero?"

PIG SURVEY
The 1931 spring pig "cron" shows
the same number of pigs saved as
a year ago. ' The number of sows
bred for fall farrowing show 30
per" cent increase, indicating a ma
terial increase in the number of
pigs to be saved from this "second
crop."
The- number of pigs saved from
the 1931 spring pig "crop" in. North
Carolina showed very little change
irom a year ago, according io inc
June 1 pig survey released June
25, by the Department o(ogricul-
ture. The June report showed an
increase of 1.6 per cent in the
number of sows that farrowed com
pared with last spring and also an
increase of 30.7 per cent in the
number of sows bred for fall far
rowing! The percentage of gilts
farrowing compared with all sows
farrowed was 41.4 per iCCnt in 1931
compared with 35.3 in 19301 The
average number of pigs saved per
litter was 6.0 or practically the
same as for the previous spring.
Last January, the total swine on
farms numbered approximately 827,
000, this being about 3 per cent
more than", the year previous. The
value of these averaged $1.50 less
per head than in 1930. The total
number in the United States on
January 1 showed' a decline of
about 2 per cent below . January
1, 1930-. The decline both tn num
bers and stocks is expected to Te
suit in an improvement in the hog
situation this fall.
According, to the 1930 county
farm census reports, the number
of sows on farms in North Caro
lina was 7.4 per cent more in 1931
than in 1930. Last year was 12.3
less than in 1929. . The number of
hogs sold or slaughtered in the
state in 1930 was 6.8 per cent less
than in 1929.
For the United f.': '.s as a whole,
there was an increase of 25 per
cent in the spring pi;; crop of this
year over that A"" "l a pros

BANANAS IN FAVOR
Whether the song about bananas,
which delighted many and nearly
drove others to distraction a few
years ago, had anything io do with
it or not, we do not know, but
the fact is that the banana has
become increasingly popular of late.
During one month 2,708,767
bunches of bananas were received
at the port of New Orleans alone
from Central America. . v.
Yet the banana is not indigenous
to this hemisphere, but is thought
to have originated in India, where
Alexander the Great subsisted his
troops on the fruit as long ago as
327 B. C. It is said that the ba
nana was first brought to the New
World by a Spanish priest in 1516.
From that beginning a great in
dustry has grown and continues to
grow.
Composed of five per cent albu
men, nearly 20 per cent sugar and
pectose and 74' per cent water, the
banana has a considerable nutritive
value and has long been the prin
cipal food of 'millions in tropical
and sub-tropical countries. Now it
is eaten aliit r !ure.

DEPLORABLE LAZY-MINDED-;
. . NESS
In his address at the University
of Virginia the other day Frank
lin D. Roosevelt said that faults
of government were in large de
gree due to the "lzy-mindedness"
of citizens. They are too willing,
he says, to "let George do it."
This is deplorable, but still Mr.
Roosevelt may not feel so bad
about it if in November, 1932, the
people say: "Let Frank, do it."
That may be our own solution of
tire problem when the time comes,
but at present we, arc more dis
posed to say: "Let Newton do
it."-CHAPEL HILL WEEKLY.
