is 1 TAKING PLACB i * * * » «r • +._j UNITED SMBSEHARR * -* * -* * - While the spotlight of public attention throws into bold relief many outstanding national issues that directly relate to. but do not solve the problems of rural Amer ica, there is no dearth of official interest in the farm problem. However, it is generally realized that stabilized industrial condi tions must precede sound pro grams for agriculture. In other words, stabilization of the pur chasing power of our people. In this connection, there is much evidence that the farmers of North Carolina are endeavor ing to improve their own status. They ask that the government eliminate only the evils in our aconomic system which are be yond their control.

Roosevelt, in which she gives me a few impres sions of her recent trip to East ern North Carolina, at Wallace. Some of the expressions are cer tain to bring pride to any North Carolinian. She said in part: "I was struck by the fact that the Coastal Plain Station was do ing such good work in developing new things to grow In the South." ... "I think that, a population which is so largely Anglo-Saxon origin makes any development much easier" . . . "The spirit shown in such a small place as Wallace in doing all they did for their strawberry festival seemed to me extraordinary and could mean only a determination to succeed in whatever they under took" ... "I think this is a most interesting part of the country." North Carolina generally will applaud these very sincere com pliments to the state and our people, coming from the First Lady. Speaking of agricultureal in come. Recently there was sub mitted to Congress a report of the Federal Trade Commission with regard to its inquiry on the sub ject. Of particular interest to my state is confirmation of the belief shared by many that the present Federal taxes on tobacco seriously affect the price the farmer receives for* his leaf to bacco. On this point, the report says: "The cigarette industry is dom- THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA inated by four brands of cigar ettes whose manufacturers main tain identical prices and change these prices upward or downward almost simultaneously with no apparent relation to either leaf tobacco or other price levels. Al though In recent years the sales volume of ten cent cigarettes has indicated the existence of the four leading brands has not been ser iously impaired. The uniform in ternal-revenue tax of $3 per thousand on small cigarettes has been a faction tending to restrict the competition of the lower priced brands. It is believed that the use of a different basis of taxation would promote competition within the cigarette industry and that this competition would in turn result in increased competition in the purchase of leaf tobacco. "The Commission therefore rec ommends that Congress consider the advisability of levying, in place of the present uniform tax, a cigarette tax graduated accord ing to the manufacturer's net selling price. In this connection, it should be noted that since manufacturers do little if any re tailing of cigarettes, any effort to graduate the tax according to the retail price instead of the manu facturer's net selling price would be an attempt to base it upon prices which the law forbids the manufacturer to control." Obviously, here is a condition that should be considered when Federal tax revision is under taken. EXPLOSION INJURES STRATFORD CHILD Walter Lee Dixon, nine-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Dix on of Stratford, lost all of his fingers and his thumb on his left hand with the exception of his little finger, when a dynamite cap, with which he was playing, exploded in his hand Saturday.

Attorney 7-8 PREVENTION MUCH BETTER THAN CURE Erosion Difficult to Keep in Check Once Reaches Bad Stage ROTATION IS IMPORTANT The old adage, "an ounce of prevention is worth a poiind of cure" might well be changed to "an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of control" from the standpoint of soil conservation, according to J. E. Trevathan, as sistant agronomist of the Soil Conservation Service area near Dobson. In dealing with soil erosion, prevention is always better than control, Mr. Trevathan said, since erosion is difficult to keep in check once it has reached the stage requiring the "pound of cure." With fertility reduced by erosion, there is also less incen tive to apply control measures. The use of crop rotations is an important phase of erosion pre vention and control since legumes used in rotations build up the fertility of the soil as well as pro tect it from washing. Mechanical methods such as contour cultiva tion, and terraces aid close-grow ing vegetation In protecting the land. Soil to which organic matter has been added by residues from crops grown in rotation jis more porous and absorbs more rainfall than soil in which row crops are grown continuously. Thus by im proving the texture of the soil, rotations further aid in reducing run-off and erosion. Many farmers in the Dobson area are adopting rotations and increasing their acreages of close growing crops on land which is subject to washing to protect the soil before the damage of erosion has reached' the stage where con trol is required.
