Of all sad words of tongue or pen the saddest are: "We were not so ready as we might have been." The dictionary defines the wwd "model" as an imitation and many wives say they have model husbands. When we have won the war we shall still have our worries. There wiH be the taxes, debts and politicians. Today's borrowed classic: "The old cow's tail is ugly and full of cockle burrs, but she loves it because it is hers." If tire shortage removes most of the cars from the highways, pedestrians will find it more inconvenient to get killed. To be a newspaper editor, it isnt so important to have a sharp pencil. Sharp scissors turns out copy faster. It wont, hurt the country so much to return to the cracker-barrel days if it can recover the cracker-barrel philosophy at the same time. There are two ways to get good Federal jobs. One is to have political pull and the other is to be a protege of Mrs. Roosevelt. Those who think the country can win the war without them are correct, and it can be a better country without them after the war is won. . Simple Susie says the new preacher hadnt been in town a week before he had been tipped off as to all the bridge players and dancers in the church, and also the names of all the members who had been involved in any scandal for the past five years. "Molasses King* Tells How To Grow War Crop Sorghum molasses has become a war crop, now that sugar is being rationed. Dan F. Holler, assistant Extension agronimist of N. C. State College, says that Zeb Norville of "Rutherford County is one of the best sorghum molasses - producers he knows anything about. The Cue Creek section of Rutherford, in which Mr. Norville lives, has long had a fine reputation for the quality of its molasses. Practically every farmer in the community grow enough cane for molasses for his home needs, and a few extra gallons for sale. '4' Mr. Norville consented to give other farmers over the State the benefit of Us experience. "I have been growing and making molasses ever since I was large enough to be around a cane mill," the Rutherford farmer said. "Last year I planted 1,7 acres of Silver Drip molasses cane, and from this acreage produced 370 gallons of Applications now are being received by county AAA offices for insurance on the 1942 cotton cmp, according to Tom Cornweil, Cleveland County farmer and a member of the State AAA Committee, This is the first time North Carolina's 176,000 cotton producers have been off tared an opportunity to insure their yields in a plan similar to the wheat crop insurance which has-been available tor the past two yean, Cornweil said. : "This insurance is issued by the Federal ^Oop Insurance Corporation, and affords the cotton producer an opportunity to insure his yield either for 76 -per cent or 60 per cent of his normal production in past ymn," Cornweil said.. :-i "The Corporation is ft non-profit agency of the United States Department of Agriculture, and funds for adrflinistering the program were appropriated by Congress. Cotton and wheat insurance is not designed to make money for the farmer or the corporation, but to serve, like fire insurance, as partial protection against losflL" Premium ra^s are determined for individual farms on the basis of losses during the past seven years, and these records now are available, in the county AAA offices. He pointed out that the insurance is available to anyone having an interest in a cotton crop, whether landowner, tenant or sharecropper. Insurance taken by one person having an interest in the crop, however, has no effect on any other person interested in the same crop. An applicant may choose insurance on threefourths or one-half of his normal production, as he desires. Premiums, it was pointed out, are payable at the time the application is signed or may be deducted from payments due the applicant in 1942 for compliance in the 1942 Agricultural Conservation Program in the same manner as grant-of-aid costs are deducted. In no case, he said, will production be insured on more than the cotton acreage allotted under the AAA program. Deadline for filing applications is March 16. • CHURCHES • SUNDAY BAPTIST CHURCH R«t.
