AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH
There is apparent contradition in
the claim that agricultural research
work should continue in these days
when fanners are urged to produce
less in order to receive more. Un
thinking ones decry the cost of ex
pensive experimentation and the
channels through which the results
of agricultural research may be
brought back to the farmer for his
profit.
It is this ever-occurring' effort to
limit scientific agricultural research
that forms one of the greatest dan
gers to agricultural progress. The
claim is made that we have already
discovered more scientific facta than
our farmers use, so why continue
spending money in developing new
information. And it is surprising
that many supposed leaders in this
industry are among the complain
ants.
Other industries do- not rest on
their oars, even when surpluses are
piled in warehouses. There is a
continuous seeking after new meth
ods; new experimentation is going
on in laboratories, and cost analysis
is the concern of every executive.
It is just as reasonable to conclude
that medical science having discov
ered' many facts about how to pro
mote health and prolong life, should
let up on research and take a holiday
until the human race catches up.
Research in the interest of better
farming better farm life provides
the promise of our agricultural fu
ture, therefore it ought to continue.
The work should not only go on,
but in carrying the results to the
farmer, the truths revealed should be
welcomed and applied to individual
needs.
Those who throw stumbling blocks
in the path of agricultural research
work, should somehow be brought to
understand both the folly and the
danger of their doctrines. Even
though the farmer is asked to co
operate in reduction programs in or
der to seduce existing surpluses ana
thus increase price, any mears that
will make the remaining production
easier, should be embraced with en
thusiasm.?Record, Statesville, N. C.
THE LARGEST CONCEPT
While chambers of commerce are
created and supported largely by
business men, and while they deal
primarily with questions that direct
ly affect the business world, they
have been led by the ramification*
of business itself to deal with a wide
range of activities that are not in
themselves Commercial bat that are
the concern of business because they
affect the general welfare of the
community. -
? - ? ? t I
Does busmeea stop with wym*
and selling:, with producing and dis
tributing? On the contrary, it is
inter-knit with the whole social and
economic fabric of oar times. A
chamber of commerce in a city of
Ohio, let ns say, pots on a campaign
to speed op repairs and improve
ments. One man of means agrees
to- spend several thousands at dollars
in improving- his estate. Does that
affect local business alone? No, his
improvements may involve the or
dering at stone from Indiana or Min
nesota, cement from Illinois or Iowa,
ornamental devices, seeds and plants
from other states which in torn af
fects labor, markets and tranapona

RECLAMATION OF
PRISON INMATES
Supt H. L. Merry tendered com
ment the other day prepared by a
federal probation officer, regarding
the treatment of paroled and re
leased inmates of the federal insti
tutions. It was in the form of a
letter to citizens at large urging
their assistance in receiving these
men back into normal citizenship
activities. It was as follows:
"It is conservative'y estimated that
one dollar of every four dollars of
our annual income is the amount of
our crime bill. This terrific expense
of 13 to 17 billion dollars annually
can be reduced by an interested,
aroused, cooperative citizenry, rath
er than by passing more laws.
"It may interest you to know that
less than one per cent of the 173,768
arrests in the first six months of
1934 could be identified by the Bu-(
reau of Investigation as being on |
parole at the time of arrest. Ini
view of admitted inadequate parole
service in some states, this is an
irrefutable answer to some current
unfavorable publicity on parole. The
successful completion of 93 per cent
of all federal paroles last year with
out a known violation in those cases
is also a matter of record. The per
cent of success of all federal proba
tion cases was even better than the
parole record.
"Over 90 per cent of state and
federal offenders return from prison
to society. Prisons offer only tem
porary protection. The only perma
nent protection is the rehabilitation
of select* offenders who are eligible
for probation and parole. These the
potentially good citizens who may
become self-sustaining and lawahid
ing or parasites and liabilities. The
most important factor in their re
building is the citizen who takes an
active interest in advising a proba
tioner or parolee. Many of these,
offenders would never have been in
difficulty if they had gone to some
| responsible person and discussed
[their problems.?American, El Reno,
Okla.
STRANGER THAN FICTION
There Is a story from Cleveland
that tells of a visiting professor wit
nessing the modem type show in
which beautiful and alluring girls
surprise the audience with what they
forget to wear.
After the performance the profes
sor was mlssfng For a day and a
night he wandered
about the streets of the place, for
getting itf name or what he was do-1
ing there. Then he recovered and
got in touch with friends.
The story intrigues. Where could
the good professor have been Uvfctf,
up te this time, that he could be so
affected by such >,? performance?
Has he not seen the screen entiM or
the local beauties at the beach, o<r^
perhaps, witnessed some of the eights
that have fascinated the eyes of men
for the past decadft or two? -
A most interesting case, furelyl

Some Timely Farm
Questions Answered
At State College
QUESTION: How can I control
bud worms in my tobacco?
ANSWER: The best known con
trol for this damage is the poisoned .
corn meal bait This is made by
thoroughly mixing 50 pounds of
corn meal with one pound of arse
nate of lead. A small pinch of this
mixture should be dropped in the
center of the bud early in the morn
ing when the tobacco bud is open.
Begin applications as early as pos
sible after the plants are set and
repeat every week or ten days until ]
the plants are topped. One peck or
twelve pounds of the mixture will .
cover an acre of tobacco plants.
QUESTION: It is a good policy ^
to cross breed poultry?
ANSWER: Cross breeding is be
coming very popular with large poul
try producers. This crossing of
breeds apparently steps up the vigor
of the progeny and therefore gives
a higher percentage of livability, 1
especially if purebred parents have '
been used. This is especially desir
able in broiler production work. In ^
relation to egg production, a first ^
generation cross should be advanta
geous but should not be carried fur
ther.
QUESTION: When should I be-. J
gin to control the cotton boll weevil ?
ANSWER: Dusting should begin
as soon as 10 percent of the squares
are punctured. The weather has been
idal for the weevil this year and for
that reason a count of punctures
should be made as soon as the
squares are formed. Count 100
squares and where as many as ten
are found punetured the first appli
cation should be made. Use from
four to six pounds of calcium arse
nate to the acre and repeat the ap
plication five days after the first
dusting.** Counts for infestation
should be made each week and appli
cations majie as may be necessary
to keep damage below 10 percent

WHY I AM YOUNG

And I consider it the better way
For all mandkind living today.

Were to cause one drunkard more

My remorse for the deed would
equal slaughter.
While living through seventy long

I've seen many eyes bedimmed

Because some unmerciful voters
Cast their votes to create the
bloaters.
[f there is any goon sound reason
why -
Any man or woman is not dry,

Why God Almighty ever wrote
His Golden Rule.

Then why not license the kidnapping

That can pay the revenue out of
their spoil.
When Moses wrote upon Tailets of
Stone
Ten Commandments to govern
every home
There was inserted language so
divine
That it has withstood all the tests
of time.
Would Jesus cast a vote today
To legalize Liquor or Crime in
any way
If He did I never would again pray
For daily bread, like my Mother
taught me to say.
If I live until July the sixth
I wish I could upon a thousand
tickets fix.
My name against every liquor store
That would issue a curse ever more.

by the Progressive Club members,
was the delightful bridge party given
on Thursday evening at the Davis I
Hotel, complimentary to Mrs. R. O.
Lang, winner for the third time, her
husband, and husbands of the other

T3te dining room of the Davis Hotel
was lovely with cut flowers and fern,
and the six tables bore attractive ap
pointments.
As the members and guests arrived
they were ushered to the punch room
where they were served by Mr. and
Mrs. A Bennett Mewborn, and places
were found for the games. '
The honoree was presented with
Maderia table linen, and Mrs. Sallie
K. > Horton, winner of high score for
the ladies, was given a hostess plate,
with Jack Smith, winner of the men's
prize, receiving a carton of cigarettes.
