Almost anybody can tell a man what he thinks about him over the telephone. Careless Advice: Pray to be de livered from the man who knows it all. Americanism: When yon win at bridge, it's brains; when you lose, it is the cards. We do not know the answers to all questions; in fact, we havent heard all the questions. When American interests coincide with British interests we see little sense in denying it. It is about time for all of us to pay more attention to our diets. This is true but, first, get yourself a diet. The individual who settles all prob lems on the basis of his, or her, per sonal experience settles no problems. You cant imagine what is the mat ter with the world until you listen to the sidewalk solons give their view3. You can get more sense out of newspapers when you realize that they report what human beings do and thinlr. The world might be better if people would practice their own religion more and try less to force It on other peo ples. The United States supplies Japan with what it requires in order to wage war upon China. For one, we are getting tired of it. Correct this sentence: "I would like the job but I understand that my friend wants it and he needs it more than I do; give it to him." Now that the commencement ora tory is about over, the nation can take the next eleven months to try out the theories propounded: A girl despondent* jumped out of a window oa the tenth floor of a hotel She says the fall gave her a new in terest in life?go ahead and try it!

In addition, the ' ^ y'Km ,H S^rifrPin ft tnrmT ft Tthtfnr fimy jy^MPg With the Federal Government en tering its tenth year of unbalanced j budget next month, and with the aver age American keeidy interested in in dividual income, it might be ? good idea for us to understand just what, income amounts to. . Ordinarily, one would suppose that an iixfiviuusl who' had en income of j $2,500 in 1938 and the same amount tion for his contribution to aochte*| Tins, however, Is not the case. Be cause the cost of living in 1929 was about nineteen per cent in what laj Actually, the purchasing _ power of I his $2^00 rin 1938 was nineteen per cent greater than in 19BBL This fluc tuation in the buying power of the] dollar often raise* and lowers income.] The average individual, however,! makes no allowance for the variation in the buying power of his wages or salary. The man who receives $100j a month measures his income almost j entirely by the number of dollars he receives. In fact, he should be justl as acutely aware of a drop in the bay ing power of his dollar as he is in a I reduction of the number of dollars] that he receives. It is interesting to point out in tills connection that in 1938, the natn&al income dropped eleven per cent being estimated at $64,000,000. This com pares with $82,700,000,000 in 1929.1 However, doe to the fact that the cost I of living in 1929 was about nineteen per cent high*'* than in 1938, the- buy-1 ing power of the 1938 national in-| come was equivalent to $76,000,000, 000 in 1929. Fanners in Pitt County should not lose sight of the importance of the buying power of the money that they receive for farm products. They have a tendency to judge their condition by the price of the products they selL It is just as important for them to meas ure the purchasing power of the dol lars that they receive. these facts, the progres sive fanner of today keeps up with the index number of prices received I by the farmer for the products sold and also checks up on the cost of the commodities that the farmer must purchase. Not only must the fanner know the price that he gets for his products, but he must learn to meas ure thi> price in terms of purchasing j power. In a word, there is more to j agriculture t*"?" growing and selling crops. STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: How soon can tobac co be harvested? ANSWER: Harvesting should be-j bin whan the bottom leaves begin to turn yellow. The first leaves can be I pulled a little greener than later pricings, if the leaf is mature. Only uniform; ripe, welWeveloped leaves should be pulled as this tmif drmity in priming will add much to the quality. I In normal' seasons tobacco should be j primed each week for best results, j Proper care in handling the leaves so j they will not break or bruise will pay dividends in a better quality and grade of the cured weed. QUESTION: What can I do to control red spiders in my cotton? ANSWER: Dusting sulphur, ap plied1 at the rate of torn pounds an acre to the Infested plants, will give good results. The treatment should be repeated one week after the first application.
