, Armistice Day Celebration, in
' - Warsaw, Nov. 11, 1947, 11 A. M.
' Following the end of World War
1 1I there were many surveys, charts
' and predictions concerning indus
trial, agricultural and general eco
. nomic trends or prospects. Many of
theie have proved to be highly -er-
roneous, and some of them almost
- ridiculous, In the light-of subse
quent developments. "
- The most amazing postwar devel
opment received only casual men
tion in most of these surveys and
predictions; that Is, the eagernes'
with which the veteran would
, avail himself of the opportunity for
'college and yocttSp training. It
was, of course, assumed that there
would be a lively interest in' this
program.' Many observers, haw.
. ever, thought It would lie ft passing
interest: that the veteran would
consider the availability of college
training as a reasonably well flnan
' ced Interlude between the military
and civilian phases of his life; and
that after such interlude- most of
them would fade oat of . the college
picture. - :j i1;;, : y tfuuy-.
- The reverse of these predictions
has been. true. The veteran has
i.ities In numoers far exceeding the
. wildest guess of educators and gov
eminent officials. He, has stuck to
: k wua a persistance that has1een
' at once gratifying-and surprising:
Moreover, the veteran according to
all reports, has entered upon his
college duties with such serious
ness of purpose is to give assurance
, .'v of stable leadership In the future
' ; and also setting a remarkably fine
:; example for non-veteran students
' Following all former wars in
. ' which America has participated,
the nation's gratitude for the ser-
vice of Its veterans has been mani
fested largely in ihe form of gra.
. tulties, pensions, or bonuses. All of
i these have been generously be
, stowed and richly deserved. i '.
The program for the Veterans of
World War II has been no less gen
erous, -but definitely more con
s tractive. The keystone of this pro
, cram has been opportunity rather
;. than gratuity.
A nation which amazed 'the
world with Its demonstrated abil
ity to train, equip, and educate an,
armed force Of over twelve millioa
men in so short a time. Is causing
even greater amazement in its pro
, gram of education and training- for
its demobilized veterans. Organiz
ing ana training for war and world
conflict Is a tremendous achieve
' ment; the task of training for use
ful citizenship Is no less difficult
and even more important America
has succeeded in both of these un
dertakings. ':
' Not only Is this so, but even
from a standpoint of preparedness
the American plan is safer and
Cmore intelligent. The demobilized
veterans of World War II, the ben
eficiaries of the greatest training!
program In all history, will be bet
ter equipped either for peace or
for war. The trailed, free, and un
i f jtlmented youth of America is an
-' .iifinitely stronger bulwark of his
nation's safety than is the youth
' cf other lands whose opportunity
is blighted and spirit quenched by
too long extended peace-time mili
tary service, characterized by un
ending monotony and out-moded
tactics. ;-;
Those who have been apprehen
sive about the rapid demobilization
'"of our armed forces need have .no
. ' nr. Nor should there be too grave
. concern over the fact that the
nding army of Russia, for ex
plerirso vastly larger than our
n. A standing army may become
: static army. A program of edu-
ion and training for the demob
ed veteran is not only more
nocratic; it is more intelligent,
luate preparedness: in a mill
' sense is absolutely essential
:t is appropriate to observe

or even predominantly

America is wisely committed to
the policy-of a relatively small
peacetime armed force, supple
mented; by "voluntary recruiting
and a moderate program of broad
military training of our youth. It
is likewise committed to the broad
est program of veteran's education
and training ever attempted in all
history. -
-: Has the training program suc
ceeded? In an amazing degvee it
has.-While it Is a long-time pro
gram, and cannot be fully or fin
ally appraised at this stage, fig
ures that-were- available towards
the end of last spring give proof of
progress.: These figures no doubt
will . be substantially increased
with the . beginning of the Fall
term. Some of the significant fig
ures are as follows:
1. There were last Spring in
North Carolina in educational in
stitutions in the farm vocational
program and in on-the-job training
a iotal of 61,899 veterans; of thu,
number approximately 8,000 were
disabled veterans, learning useful
trades and training for self-reliant
citizenship. .. : .- . . - .. ;
.2. In a sUte that is still pre
dominantly agricultural It is grati
fying to note that over 10,000 Vet
erans were enrolled in farm voca
tional training under the govern
ment plan. ,j ' 1
3. In addition to a considerable
number of colored veterans inclu
ded in the above, 1,440 of this group
were receiving benefits of the adult
education program, i ; : x
4. In terms of money, the gov
ernment expended on behalf of
veterans in training In North Caro
lina, during the three months per
iod of December, 1946 through
February 1947, a total of aporoxi
mately 16 million dollars.
9. The veterans are not consider
ing these training opportunities as
mere diversions or pleasant inter
ludes they are doing a serious
work. From the junior and senior
colleges of : the state and ail
cf them are participating - comes
the word that the veterans are set
ting the pace for all students in
hard work and serious dy. ;
In brief, -these men and women
who helped to win the greatest
victory of all time in war, are now
training to help make democracy
live in time of peace. :! ; . -

By L. F. WEEKS
Nov. 5, 1947 .
Mr. R. D. Simmons, of Seven . ,
Springs, decided several years ago .
that it was not a sound farm prae- .
tice to depend entirely on one cash .
crop, tobacco. On his farm, he pro- :
duces around 90 hogs and 6 to 8 .
calves for sale yearly. His practice . .;
is to produce ample feed for his .
work stock, hogs, cattle and poultry. .
In 1947, he sold 90 hogs for $4,910 -V'xl,
used 7 at home valued at $360, has " "
5 sows on hand now with 48 young ;
pigs. During the year he bought no
grain and is now harvesting 50 ' '
ceres of corn and a check of the -"
yield measured 58.3 bushels per '.-
acre. The only feed bought for his
hog crop in 1947, was two tons of "
tankage, and 1000 pounds of fish
meal. .-. s
Mr. Simmons sold 6 calves during
1947, valued at $400 He maintains ",
a laying flock of 65 hens and is " .
gathering Vi dozen eggs daily. The
male birds from his yearly crop of
Vi I rlr cr aaton nt li nm r Ann ma :.'r,- ...
keted. - "?,
In addition to his 5 or 6 acres oV- .
permanent pasture, he seeded 2V4
acres In the spring of 1947 to a mix
ture of Ladino Clover, Orchard -Grass,
Lespedeza, and Red Top. His ' -:
cattle, hogs, and work stock get a
good portion of their feed from
these pastures and the interplanted
legumes in his corn field. For tem
porary grazing and cover crop, he
seeds 40 acres of small grain each
falL He harvested about 7 or ) . . ' ,
acres of wheat in the spring. About '
8 acres is planted to lespedeza bay
yearly ana Mr. Simmons states that " :
he has not bought a bale of hay In
15 years. . , v"
The cash crops on his farm this
year consists of 15.8 acres of tobao-
co( and 9 acres of cotton. A three '
year crop rotation is followed which -' 1
is planned to maintain and build
the fertility of his soil. ,
Twenty-six acres of timber land t "
was selectively cut and yielded ' ,
$2800 worth of timber. Nothing was ' '
allowed to be cut under 12 inches
in diameter.
