HONORING MOTHERS
Men and women who wish to
pay tribute to their mothers
can do so by joining in all ef
forts to make motherhood safe
for mothers.
The annual loss of life
through improper pre-natal and
care is a reflection upon our
people which should not be per
mitted to continue.
It is fine to remember one’s
mother on Mother’s day but
how much more fitting would
it be if through our efforts
some little child was given the
life o£ his or her own mother.
If adequate care is assured,
thousands of American mother's
will be alive at the end of 1936
and taking care of their chil
dren. Without needed atten
tion they will be dead.
PERPETUAL MOTION
It takes thirty-six States to
ratify an amendment to the
United States constitution but
the Child Labor amendment,
rejected ten years ago by twen
ty-five States is still popping
up before various legislatures.
Ih other words, once a State
ratifies it is eternally bound
but if it rejects the proposal
the question can. continue to
come up until ratification wins.
Without discussing the merits
of the Child Labor proposal
but only referring to the pro
cess involved there ought to be
a time limit on State action.
TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
Every once in a while we
try to address one of our edi
torials to the young people who
favor rthis newspaper with
their confidence. . This week
we would call their attention
to the fact that man is, in a
measure, only an animal, but
that the difference between hu-,
man beings and the other ani
mals is that people have a
sense of proportion as to time, j
appreciating, if they are wise, ■
the relativity of the past, the ’
present and the future. !
The young man or woman in
our county who plans to get
ahead in life and to make some
body of himself or herself
should begin by realizing the
immense value of preseht time.
It is the only thing that we
have to utilize The use that
we make of our time, whether!
wise or foolish depends in good
measure, upon our absorption
of the lessons that the past has
furnished our race. Inasmuch
as we have not lived through
the past we must receive this!
information through books or
through the wise teachings of
those who have had experience
in life. i
It behooves all thoughtful
young people therefore, to give
some heed to what older people
say and do. The chances are
that the older people are right,
but not always, fortunately. If
young persons acted as old
people and failed to take chan
ces for themselves the progress
of the world would end. How
ever, realizing that the older
people are apt to be right a
young man or woman is better
fitted to weigh the chances of
success when undertaking any
new effort.
Then to all the young people
in our county we urge faith
in their own powers. Rely up
on them, after taking full coun
sel of the wisdom that is avail
able. Never falter, but press
on, and succeed!
THE MONEY,
HOWEVER, IS GONE
We see where a gentleman
has been convicted in Milwau
kee of using the mails to de
fraud. He goes to prison, if
the sentence is not reversed,
for fifteen years but this does
not return the $2,000,000 he is
alleged to have collected from
suckers who wanted to get
rich quick.
Readers of this newspaper |
are farily familiar with what
returns money will bring when
invested, whether in bonds or
in businesses. When a smart
man comes along to offer ten
percent every two weeks it
ought to be plain that, if he is
so smart, he wouldn’t need oth
er people’s funds. He would
have plenty of his own.
The next time you hear of
a scheme to get rich in a hur
ry without doing any work and
without taking any risk be wise
for once and hold on to your
cash.

For U. S. Farmers
Principal Problem
Overlook Farmers
Wallace’s Frank Talk
About Wind Erosion
Farmers will be interested in
hearing that the nation’s prin
cipal problem is not agricul
tural recovery but industrial
recovery, according to Sidney
Anderson, of Minneapolis, who
told the House Agriculture
Committee that the greatest re
lief that can come to agricul
ture is the restoration of mar
kets through improved indus
trial earnings and wages.
Mr. Anderson represented
the. National Millers’ Federa
tion in objecting to proposed
amendment to the AAA, he
said, threatened every handler,
wholesaler and retailer of any
commodity produced from a ba
sic agriculture commodity.
The' idea- is not new and
farmers might as well realize
that nobody is going to fight
their battles to secure a fair
share of the national income.
Turning, Mr. Anderson’s state
ment around, there are many;
people who believe that the
greatest recovery that can come
to industry is restoration ofj
farm.buying power. For many
years the tiller of the soil was
neglected in this republic and
this lack of economic balance
undoubtedly helped produce
the depression.
Some weeks ago we called
attention to a prominent cita
tion of “labor, business and
government pulling together
toward prosperity” without a
word about the farmer.
The other day we saw where
a noted financial writer was
telling the world just where
the nation stood in regards to
recovery. He showed what ha(^
happened in regards to pro-1
duction, payrolls, wage restor
ations, re-employment and the
volume of business but he did
not say a word about what pro
gress had been made to secur
ing “parity” or anything else
for the farmer.
The habit of disregarding
the '-welfare of the farmer is
unite prevalent in financial cir
cles and political eaueusses.
Won't they always vote for the
f.fii part,\ ? The answer, it ap
pears is always “yes.”
* * *
Secretary Wallace recently
addressed an army of educa
tors declaring. that the only
so.und economic theory in re
gal'd to agricultural adjustment
is to bring enough European
products into this country-to
effect a balance so that outside
nations will be able to buy our
surplus agricultural products.
“The doctrine of competitive
scarcity is a damnable one,”,
Ivii'i Wallace admitted, but he'
added, “the farmer didn’t start
it.” -
Agricultural experts foresee
tuat food prices are going up
and some of them fear that dis
c: nt~nt or consumers will cause
pressure to be exerted against
a continuation of efforts to
raise farm incomes. Without
taking into consideration dry.
weather in five states, which
might cause another drought,
food prices are expected to go
up eleven per cent in the first
six months of this year. How
ever, since food prices reach
ed such a low point in 1932 a
larger increase will not bring
them up to a level comparative
to the pre-war period.
Mr. Wallace, if we know any
thing about it, ranks high
among the frank and candid
thinkers of the present admin
istration. He does not hesitate
as a rule, to express his views
although he seems to lack a
militancy in advocating the
course that he thinks best. Af
ter stating the conditions that
exist he emphasizes that the
country is at the forks of the
road and that the nation must
choose, and giving his ideas
he lets it go at that.

BEGIN ADVANCEMENT NOW
Newspaper advertising en
joys the greatest patronage of >
any form of advertising. Huge1
ccfl’porations spend tremendous,
sums every year to inform and;
lead the %uyer. The press de-j
livers the goods and gets the!
bulk of the appropriation.
The situation in our town
is the same as everywhere else.
Here the newspaper is the best
form of publicity, as well as
the cheapest. Merchants who
delay their advertising because
they do not intend to outspend
cigarette manufacturers are
losing business through their
failure.
It is better for every adver
tiser to begin modestly and ex
pand than to begin extrava
vantly and lose his money, and
most costly to his business,
his faith in the power of
advertisin. If there is
anything on the market today
that has been put over without
advertising we don’t know
what it is. Every merchant
realizes this, even if he doesn’t
emulate the example of those
who put things over.

CARDWELL’S
OLLMN
A SOYBEAN YEAR
By GUY A. CARDWELL,
Agricultural and Industrial Agent,
A. C. L. Railroad Co.
The United "States Depart
ment of Agriculture recently is
Sued an article on soybeans un
der the caption “1935 A Soy
bean Year”. In this article it
wa3 stated that soybeans
should solve the 1935 hay and
pasture problem, as seed crop
in 1934 was 6,000,000 "bushels
more than in 1933; while seed
of most hay and pasture crops
are short.
Farmers in the corn and
wheat states must have emer
gency feed, and reports indicate
that there is less than half en
ough seed for normal acreages
of sorgo, Sudan grass and mil
let; hence the soybean predic
tion.
The Southern States had the
first chance at growing soy
beans and Eastern North Car
olina farmers eagerly accepted
the crop, but farmers in -Sou h
Carolina, Virginia and the oth
er Southern States have lag
ged for some reason in plant
ing a substantial acreage ;n
this crop, -for beans. Howev r,
;r the South &cybeans are ex
tensively planted in corn ahd
are an impellent crop for grr.
nig—hogging oli.
Available records do not ?e
the 111*j ci^p,
but legume hays (soybean,
eovvpea and peanut vine) were
produced in 1934 to the extent
of 190,000 tons in Virginia,
369,000 tons in North Carolina
and 159,000 tons in South Car
olina. Georgia ranks next to
North Carolina in the produc
tion of legume hay with 334,
000 tons; while Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana, and Missouri all ex
ceed the best production record
made in the Southern States.
For South Carolina Coastal
Plain country late maturing
varieties, 130 days or more, are
recommended. For seed, Bil
oxi, Mammoth Yellow, Tokyo.
For hay, Otootan, Virginia.
For Coastal Plain Virginia,
medium late varieties, matur
ing in 120 to 140 days, are re
cpmmended. For seed, Haber
landt, Herman’, ffifmmoth Yel
low, Tokyo. For hay, Herman,
Laredo, Otootan, Virginia, Wil
son-Five.
It is said that seed varieties
may be used for pasture and
hay. The seed from pasture
and hay varieties has little
commercial value, but may be
used as a home-grown protein
concentrate. For hay and pas
ture, varieties adapted to any
area may be planted in the
area immediately to the north,
but they will not mature seed,
Diseases and insects rarely
damage soybeans.
Soybeans yield well alone or
with corn, cowpeas, sorghums,
Sudan grass and other crops.
They are adapted to about the
same climate, and should be
planted at about the same time
as corn but are more resistent
to drought and excess mois
ture. With a good seedbed the
rate of seeding may be as lit
tle as two pecks an acre.
As hay will continue to be
short and at a premium in num
erous hay growing states in
1935, Southern farmers should
prepare to grow their own feed
needs and have a small sur
plus for emergencies.
NEW OFFICERS INSTALLED
BY WILLARD AUXILIARY
The Ladies Auxiliary of the
Willard Presbyterian Church
held its final meeting of the fis
cal year at the church, Mon
day evening at eight o’clock.
Invitations had been issued
by the social committee to all
members and their husbands.
Several visitors were also pre
sent. Among them, the facul

Pearsall, Joel Jones, Henry
Veach, Lloyd Veach, Lauchlin
Ward and Mr. Dewey Futch
and Mrs. Poole and Mrs. Kiser.
I Mr. Van SchaacK rendered
quiet music while the congre
gation was assembling.
Mrs. H. McN. Johnson, presi
dent, called the meeting to or
der. The program for the ev
ening was as follows:
Song: "Onward Christian
Soldiers, by the congregation;
Devotional, Mr. Johnson; solo,
[Mrs. W. H. Southerland—“Just
a Whispered Prayer”.
| At this time the church was
darkened and a miniature re
plica of the church, built by
Mrs. Johnson, was lighted up.
On the wall befiind this church
was a map of the world and
cards fastened to the windows
of the miniature church were
attached to the map as the re
port of each department of the
auxiliary was read, thu/s es
tablishing a direct connection
with the schools, colleges, mis
sion points and hospitals of the
Missionary World.
This part of the program was
very impressive and instruc
tive and showed that the parti*
!cipants on the program had
mastered their parts well.
The church auditorium was.
decorated with long leaf pine,
white spirea and jonquils.
After the program the con
gregation sang “Oh. Zion
Haste.”
At this time Mrs. H. H. Poole
of Rocky Point, chairman of
the 5th district of the Presby
terial was called on for » few
remarkb. She presented Mr.
Dewey Futch who sang “A Lit
tle Road Through Nazareth”,
accompanied by Mrs. Kiser at
the piano.
Mrs. Poole then gave us a
very interesting talk which was
greatly enjoyed by all. She
plainly showed us the incon
sistency of attempting to serve
both God and Mammon. She
then sang a duet with Mr.
Futch, “If I Be Lifted Up”. The
music and words to this song
were composed by Mrs. Poole.
The officers elect of the aux
iliary were then presented and
installd in a very impressive
ceremony by Mr. Currid, pas
tor of the church. The retir
ing officers were also presented
and commended for their un
tiring labors for the auxiliary
and the Kingdom of God.
