MORE THAN INTELLIGENCE x
1
Students who honor this newspaper ?
by reading it are entitled to the best j
suggestions that we can offer. j
They are reminded that institutions (
of learning should be more than in- j
telligence factories. What students }
acquire from the study of books .is 3
important but if this is all they get,
the nation might as well save some .
of the estimated $2,500,000,000 that ^
it spends annually upon education.
We hope that Orangeburg County j
students, wherever they may be, will
take full advantage of their oppor- .
tunities to develop the democratic ,
virtues that make good citizens. In
their daily activities, as they mingle {
with each other, at work and in play, (
students can learn much that will .
enable them, later in life, to cooper
ate successfully with their neighbors.
Intelligence is an asset to the in
dividual, as he strives with his fel
low-man, but not every intelligent
individual is an asset to society.
There are other virtues that one must
acquire to be considered educated ?>
and many things to learn before one ?
puts on the cloak of culture.
PEOPLE FAVOR SELECTIVE
SERVICE.
]
The people of the United States i
are far ahead of the Senators and j
Representatives in Washington in re- ]
gards to the steps to be taken to
make this country ready for any |i
eventuality. They do not like what ;
is going on in the world and they \
are beginning to fear that unless i?
this country is rapidly prepared to \
defend itself there may be unfortu- (
nate experiences ahead of us.
We do not agree with the thought ;
that the people of this country would ,
not volunteer to defend it if neces- .
sary. The reason why there is no '
demand for the volunteer system is (
not to be found in any lack of pa- ,
trio tic fervor but r._ >er in the con- ]
viction, that is almost nationwide, \
that a selective service program is 1
the best way to secure an army to 1
defend the United States.
The volunteer system is regarded j
as the amateur method of preparing
for war and the draft is recognized
as the professional tecnique. This
country, if it goes to war again, will
not enter the ring as an amateur,
with soldiers untrained for their job.
They have taken to heart the warn
ing of General Pershing and they
want their soldiers to be adequately
trained for any fighting that they
may have to do.
FREE ENTERPRISE
FACES A FOE.
The greatest barrier to the peace
of the world today is the new-fangled
economic system, imposed upon Ger
many by necessity, but nevertheless
refined and rigorously applied by Hit
ler.
Americans who still talk about
"free enterprise" in this oountry
ought to understand, very clearly,
that it is doomed if Germany con
quers Great Britain, reorganizes Eu
rope ftnd attempts to do business with
other nations upon the basis of bar
ter.
There is no place for the individual
in the economic philosophy of Ger
many. Everything is through the
State and by its permission. To se
cure foreign markets there is ex
change control, import limitations
and export subsidies. No private
business, in the United States
or elsewhere, can compete with such
a business competitor in South Amer
ica, or anywhere else. .
The world cannot endure, economi
cally, half-barter and half-free. Eith
er it must follow one pattern or the
other. In this country we have
espoused the theory of individual in
itiative; with aa few government con
trols as possible. If Germany,
through military triumphs, becomes
our world competitor, we will face
two choices: (a) give up and live
within our own territory, or (2) or
ganise our business upon the Ger
man system.
This latter alternative would-mean
the abolition of what we call the
American* capitalist system. It
would mean rigid governmental eon
. , trol, regimentation and the absolute

Poultry Flocks Need
Ample Green Grazing
Only the person who grows poultry
or his health'? sake or as a hobby
an afford to neglect the production
f green feed for the flock, says T.
\ Brown, extension poultryman of
>tate College.
On the other hand, he went on, if
nofit is the person's motive, then
jreen feed has a definite and im
?rtant part to play in feeding
hicks and growing pullets and lay
ers. Grazing crops not only cut feed
tills but promote health.
The poultryman who will take a
ook around his neighborhood will
ind an amazirg- difference in favor
>f pullet flocks raised on clean land
vhere an ample supply of green feed
ras available over those raised on
>&re, dry lot without grazing crops.
The pullets confined to the dry
>are lots usually are pale-faced, pale
egged, and appear unthrifty. In
tharp contrast to this condition, pul
ets grown on clean range on which
? chicks have been for two years
?arry a generous supply of rich yel
ow pigment in their shank and
iround their faces and have bright
ed combs and wattles.
When the cost of developing p il
ets for layers is figured, almost in
rariably it has been found that those
jrown on clean range and having
unple succulent grazing crops have
lost their owners less money up to
aying time than pullets produced on
>are lots without green feed.
Yet this lessened expense is not
he only important difference, Brown
aid. Egg production records show
hat green range-fed birds far sur
pass the pullets without benefit of
?ange.
Naturally, Brown explained, when
he average number of eggs per bird
foes up, the feed cost per dozen
;ggs comes down.
More Help Offered
To Flood Families
Increased aid tx> low-income farm
families hard hit by recent floods
la3 been announced by Miss Ruth
Current, director of home demon
stration work for the State College
Extension Service.
The mattress - making program
which formerly limited families with
m income less than $400 last year
to one- free mattress has been broad
ened to allow cne mattress to each
two members of a family in 17 flood
ed counties.
The counties are: Ashe, Avery,
Bertie, Caldwell, Halifax, Haywood,
Jackson, McDowell, Martin, North
ampton, Polk, Rutherford, Ewain,
Watauga, Wilkes, Yadkin, and Yan
:ey. Five other counties were affect
ed by floods, but will not be covered
by the new provision either because
their damage was slight or because
the mattress program is not in effect
there.
Many families have been left al
most destitute in the wake of these
floods, Miss Current said. House
hold belongings as well as crops,
livestock ,and feed on hand were
swept away or ruined by the water.
By supplying the affected low
income families with free mattresses,
and giving them other possible aid,
it is hoped they will recover from
the floods' ravages much sooner, the
State College home demonstration
leader said.
Miss Current also reported that the
mattress-making program for the
State as a whole is now-turning out
more than 1,000 finished mattresses
a week. Families who are to receive
these mattresses assist in the making,
supervised by home agents of the
Extension Service of trained volun
tary leaders.
STATE COLLEGE
ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION: What methods of
soil preparation are considered most
desirable for small grain?
ANSWER: * The most successful
growers of small grains turn red
clover or lespedeza under in August,
and disk the soil one or two weeks
before seeding time, which is October
10 to 20. Another successful method
that is used where lespedeza, cow
peas, or soybeans are harvested for
hay is that of disking the soil to
make a seed bed. This should be
done two or three weeks before seed
ing
QUESTION: Is there a cure for
Bang's disease of cattle?
ANSWER: So far, despite many
so-called remedies, no cure for Babgfs
disease has been developed. Recent
tests conducted by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture with two "reme
dies" proved the inability of either
to prevent animals from contracting
the disease or cure those that al
ready have it Destroying infected
animals is the best way known at the
preeant time to keep this disease
from spreading.
QUESTION: Will ground agricul-.
