Superintendent This paper does not accept responsibility for the views of correspondents on any question. Entered as Second Class Matter January 19, 1923, at the Postoffice at Wallace, Noorth Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Thursday, February 6, 1936 Courtesy may take a little time but, in the long run, it' often saves time. Criticism of any court, when boiled down, amounts to “it decided against me.” February, shortest month of the year, nev ertheless is a good month, with five pay day3. The average politician would rather carry an election than to establish the truth forever, There are people who would like to get their hands on the forecaster who predicted a mild winter. Our town might lay its plans for a spring beautification drive and. take another forward step towards making the community better looking to inhabitants and visitors. READING PROVOKES THINKING Among the 1936 resolutions that you prob ably forgot to make ought to have been one that you would read a sensible book, on a sensible subject, at least every month. When a man or woman takes a year to write a book on any subject, those interested in the topic ought to be able to stand the work for several hours, without brainfag. There are entirely too many people in our county who take it for granted that they can learn everything that is worth knowing from current comment related by gossiping friends. Thinking is what makes men amount to something. The more the people of a com munity think the better and the more pros perous that community is. You needn’t ask us to prove that statement. We haven’t the time and doubt if we have the brains, but it is the truth, all the same. | SERVICE CLUB NEEDED Service clubs in many municipalities of the [United States are awakening thousands of cit izens to civic consciousness. Where men merely live in a community, form their opinions as individuals and never get a chance to rub elbows with' their fellow men, there is not apt to be found any real pro gressive spirit. Many towns and cities have discovered that the commercial organization, important as that is, does not include a wide area of activity that is available to men who wish to improve their home town. In fact, one of the chief re sults of the so-called service clubs is that- they afford a regular opportunity to leading citi zens to meet and talk things over. It is the idea of this newspaper that, re gardless of size, very few communities are able to be without some organization of the type referred to. Wherever one can find fif teen or twenty men, willing and able to meet regularly, there is ample opportunity for the formation and continuance of a real service club. 1 THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IN LIFE The average citizen of our county is no doubt interested in the political events that occur in the United States, which is quite proper con sidering that the theory of our government in volves an understanding of the issues by ev ery voter. There is a tendency, however, for the indi vidual to become intensely interested in the outcome of political campaigns, involving is sues that seem transcendent, and to drift into a state of mind which magnifies the importance pf the outcome. While it is right and proper for every Am erican to pass judgment upon every national administration, there is no occasion for them ' to divide into bitterly hostile groups or to per mit polities "to entirely overshadow the other Values in life. ^ ^ MERCHANDISING TODAY Merchandising, some years ago, involved thf£ possession of goods that the buyers of a given "area were accustomed to use. The successful merchant, in many agricul tural sections, .was one able to advance cre dit to his customers through an ability to fi nance his own trade. The art of merchandising has developed some new techniques recently but basically it rests upon the same fundamentals. There are merchants everywhere, however, who have exhibited a tendency to overlook them. For example, installment selling is a new credit technique—that’s all. It has made the automobile. Without it, there would be no market for the millions of vehicles manufac tured in this country. This newspaper is interested in building up the retail trade of all towns and cities in our county and it therefore suggests that some adequate credit facilities, including time fin ancing would help to meet the competition of mail order concerns that do this very thing. Washington News For U. S. Farmers FRAZ1EK-LEMKJS KILL, NEW FARM MEASURE PERMANENT PROGRAM DECEMBER FARM INCOME The Frazier-Lemke Farm Mortgage bill will probably be forced to a vote before Congress adjourns. The bill provides $3,000,000,000 in printing press money to buy up farm mort gages and to make loans on farm lands and improvements. Interest will be charged at 1 1-2 per cent with a like amount collected annually to amortize the loans in forty-seven years. While Congressional leaders have attempted to head off any vote on the measure, it seems certain that the'test cannot be avoided much longer. What the outcome will be is uncertain, although most observers predict a veto that will prevent its passage. The effort to agree upon an agricultural pro gram to replace the old AAA met with diffi culties. Some resistance was found in the Senate committee, but last week, in the face of increasing pressure from farmers anxious to have the new scheme outlined, the pros pects were that early action would begin. t The Administration advocated a subsidized soil conservation measure which some Con gressional leaders considered would not meet the Supreme Court’s decision in the Hoosac Mills case, although Chester C. Davis, farm administrator, and Secretary Wallace had no such doubts. The idea seems to be to move toward a per manent program to begin in 1938. This, ac cording to Mr. Davis, would operate in the limits prescribed by the majority opinion of the Supreme Court. The program would be on a States’ relation basis and would avoid the necessity of any constitutional amendment to take care of the agricultural problem. Under the permanent plan, the States would be expected to enact legislation along the lines of the existing Federal highway program to authorize acceptance of Federal funds for dis bursement to farmers under State supervision in return for soil conservation practices ac ceptable to the Federal Government. The States would supervise the program and Federal funds would flow to them as they com piled with “standard” to b» laid down by the Department of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture reports: “Farmers’ cash income from sales of farm products was $598,000,000 in December, com pared with $660,000,000 in November, and $473,000,000 in December a year ago, accord ing to estimates by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics Farmers received in addition $47,000,000 in December benefit payments compared with $56,000,000 in November, and' $53,000,000 in December a year ago. Cash income from sales plus rental and benefit payments for the year 1935 is esti mated at $6,932,000,000 compared with $6,387, 000,000 in 1934, and $4,328,000,000 in 1932 which was the low year of the depression. Income from marketings was higher in every month except July in 1935 than in 1934, .but the greatest increase occurred in the last three months of 1935. A part of this increase, it is stated, was due to increased marketings from the larger crop production of 1935, to increased demand for farm products, and to unusually heavy marketings of meat animals, particular ly cattle apd lambs.

Although Mr. Holler’s com ment was occasioned by used car selling achievements of Chevrolet dealers, it applies with equal force, he said, to their new car activities. The announcement of new models, coupled with wide use of ad vertising pointing to the ad vantages of early purchase, re sulted in a complete reversal of the industry’s experience in the past, when November and December . were two of the quietest months of the entire year. LACK OF PASTURES IN DUPLIN COUNTY (Continued from Page One) well as the pasture land. Good pastures furnish the cheapest source of food for stock. Very little labor is needed in preparing, keeping up fences arid fertilizing. A good pasture well grazed furnishes about three-foilrths the amount of food as a good hay crop from the same grass, but then you do not have the expense of har vesting or run the risk of wea ther damages. A good pasture of tender grass and pastures plants (as lespedeza) is higher in avail-; able protein value, vitamins, and minerals than most any other stock feed. In selecting sites for perm anent pasture a heavy, fertile, and well supplied with moist ure, soil is best suitable. On lighter and weaker soils a le gume crop should be turned un der before sowing when condi tions permit. There are three general types of permanent pastured in Nofth Carolina; namely, mixed, car pet grass, and bermuda grass, but the best for this section is carpet grass and lespedeza mix ed unless you have a site of good fertile soil and will do some fertilising, then the mix ed grasses are satisfactory. For spring sowing of pasture in this section February 15th to April 1st is best. In prepar ing the seed bed pulverize the soil good to a depth of about three inches where possible, but avoid plowing unless this is done two months before^ sow ing. About 25 pounds of les pedeza and 10 pounds of car pet grass per acre is a good quantity of seed to sow unless it is desired to include other grasses as Dallis grass. Then cut down on the number pounds of lespedeza and carpet grass. It is well to sow plenty of seed, PEOPLE’S FORUM Readers are invited to contribute to this column.

Williams in last week’s issue of the Wallace Enter prise, which, by the way, is the best paper of its kind I know of, was well put, and I tru3t will be a source of inspiration to the ones left behind. I wonder, however, if we do not, too often, wait rather late to offer our tokens of love and esteem. I think' one who bears the cross and comes through the victor, as did Dr, Williams, should enjoy, whflle with us, the fragrance of the bouquets. we, oi course, /nave in our midst many who are worthy of our praise .
