Thursday, April 16, 1936 Men who used to borrow thousands of dol lars with ease now run from the thought of owing a few hundred. Diplomacy may not be able to settle all is hues that arise but it score* a triumph when it keeps a war from starting. t Scientists hope to produce synthetic men but nature beat them to it; there are already some of them without hearts or souls. While talking about the Constitution, and the rights it guarantees, let’s not forget the pro mise to all men in regards to life, liberty and happiness. Now that the Veterans of Future Wars are demanding bonuses, in advance, why doesn’t Bomebody organize the men who stayed out of the trenches during the last struggle because they were the “key-men” of business, etc? This newspaper hardly expects that this ar ticle will revolutionize the habits of motor car operators. However, if everyone who reads it will begin a little propoganda along this line, the result might save the lives of a few chil dren in our county this year, which would be worth while. A THIRD PARTY There are some people in the United States who believe that a third party has a chance to come into Successful fruition. This newspa per does not share that optimism. The only effect of a third party will be to draw voters from the major parties. The big party losing the most might conceivably be defeated. The other party would win. The third party wouldn’t get a handout of its pains. Its life would end with the campaign. The only way to accomplish results in the United States, as we see it, is through the Dem ocratic or Republican party. If neither of them offer a reasonable amount of hope then there is no hope for 1936. . BEAUTIFY YOUR YARD Every year, about this time, there is a re surgence of the idea that our town ought to be more beautiful. There is discussion, elab oration and, sometimes, committees with an oc casional splurge of accomplishment. •This newspaper would do nothing to inter fere with other plane, except to call every reader’s attention to the obvious fact that the beautifying of our town is a question of beau tifying individual plots. Every freeholder can do much to make his or her premises more at tractive, and, without waiting upon commit tees, let’s get busy, as individuals, and pro ceed to do so. CLEAN CAMPAIGNS Few American citizens desire dirty politics. The average voter wishes clean, clear cut cam paigns, without personalities and abusive ar gument. This applies not only to the national cam paign but to state and local races as well. The candidate who descends to cheap abuse does not deserve your vote because his temperament is entirely unfit to represent the community he is supposed to serve. He will reward friends j and punish foes which is not the ideal office holder for a government which is supposed to operate for the benefit of the people. Intelligent voters, however, discriminate be tween personal abuse and legitimate criticism Of official misconduct. Any candidate has the right, (and duty), to speak out plainly In re gard to the shortcomings of his opponents. Only by • clear cut statement of abuses and can correction be administered. No man or woman In this county will led by the artful howl of a corrupt poli when his official record is hung to whine about "per TIME TO PROTECT CHILDREN Parents in our county should emphasize the danger of playing in the streets and caution their children to be extremely wary before at tempting to cross a highway. However, after dt ing this, a parent must leave his child large ly to the fate that lies ahead. The very nature of children makes many of them impulsive. Their lack of experience pre vents effective caution. They will, unknow ingly and unintentionally, expose themselves to grave peril. Under the circumstances which are known to all adults, the burden of care rests upon the consciences of automobile driv ers. — • ‘.virjaigi.. Public sentiment should compel motorists to proceed slowly and carefully when passing through school zones and by crowded play grounds. The police power should assist in making effective this public sentiment and drivers should be severely punished for speed ing in such zones. It is not enough for a driv er to get by without an accident. The public should not stand for motorists who constantly imperil innocent children. fl Washington News I For U. S. Farmers ■ ■ ■ WET IN EAST; DRY IN WEST FARM PRICE INDEX DROPS VEGETABLE BREEDING April opened with too much moisture in most of the East and too little in parts of the West, because of spectacular contrasts in rainfall during March. From the Virginias to New England precipitation was far above norma) in some places more than three times normal, according to J. B. Kincer of the Weather Bu reau. In Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Penns ylvania, and New York, March rainfall aver aged around 3 inches—more than 35 billion tens of water upon soil already saturated from previous rains and melted snow. Only a little of the water was absorbed by the wet soil and the rapid run-off into streams and rivers, al ready up from previous rains and snow wa ter, produced disastrous floods. On the other hand, March brought little moisture to large areas in the Southwest, which has been dry for a long time. In fact, rainfall was less than one-tenth normal in much of the lower Great Biaii}s section* . v Some ( places—parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Tex-1 as—had none. Throughout the month, top soil from the dry and windy areas blew out ov er the country, some of it reaching well east of the Mississippi River and even to Boston. I - The farm price index dropped from 109 to 104 during the month ended March 15, accord ing to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Larger than seasonal declines in prices of dai ry products, veal calves, tobacco, and truck crops are reported. Prices of cotton, bread grains, hogs, chick ens, eggs, flax, and hay also declined during the month. Slightly higher prices are report ed for feed grains, moderate advances in prices of fruit, potatoes, and wool, and a sharp up turn in prices of work animals. The index is 4 points lower than on March 15 a year ago. Prices of meat animals, dairy products, chickens, and fruit are higher this year than last, but prices of grain, cotton, cot tonseed and truck crops are lower. The index of prices paid by farmers declin ed from 122 to 121 during the month ended March 15. The ratio of prices received to prices paid declined from 89 to 86. - I A vegetable breeding laboratory, the first of its kind in the world, has been established by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and 13 cooperating states near Charleston, S. C. “The purpose of the laboratory,” says Dr. E. C. Auchter, principal horticulturist and as sistant chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, “is to breed high quality, disease resistant veg- ( etables adapted especially to the southern states”. Experimental work is centered at the labor-, atory on land acquired near the South Carol!- i na Truck Experiment Station. Dr. B. L. Wade, j senior geneticist of the Bureau is in charge of the laboratory. Materials produced there also will be tested in all of the cooperating States, the central laboratory thus acting a* a focal point for coordinating this activity in the reg-, ion. Vegetable varieties from this and other, countries will be used in breeding work. To. obtain hardy and disease resistant vegetables j not found in this country as well as several j ether kinds of plants, expeditions under the di rection of the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction are en route to India and to Persia and Turkey. Excellent breeding ma terials have been obtained from these countries / i'cor ' health fe, AND I PONT. ¥oW4 piH*! ’He who has good health and owes nothing is both young and rich.’ APRIL rXSLovr 16—Wilbur Wrifht, father of Jng&O aviation, bora, 1867. - /» 17—United States navy cap.

Cardwell, Af rlenltaral and Iadaatrial Agent A. C. L. Ball road Co. It has been told over and ov er that soybeans are used in making industrial and food products' such as paint, enamel, varnish, glue, printing ink, rub ber substitutes, linoleum, in secticides, plastics, glycerine, flour, soy sauce, breakfast food, candies, roasted beans with a nutlike flavor, livestock feeds, and so on. At present about 38 soybean mills and a number of cotton seed oil mills are crushing soy beans for oil and oil meal, 20 concerns are manufacturing soybean food products, 15 mills are making soybean flour and I more than 50 factories are turning out various industrial products. The southern states are pro ducing the crop almost entirely for seed and sofl improvement, with the exception of North Carolina where much of the grain harvested is used—for seed throughout the South, Southwest. , ■, In a recent correspondence with W. J. Morse, Senior Ag ronomist, Division of Forage Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department o f Agriculture, Washington, D. C., he stated; "We have been experiment ing with a number of new in troductions of soybeans which we obtained in Japan and Ko rea. Many of these have been under test at Raleigh, Willard, and Statesville. Some of them looked very promising under Willard conditions. The Rok usun, which is used in the Ori ent as a green vegetable bean and we have found to be good as a dry bean, is being used for increase work at the Wil lard station. I believe that this station is placing the new vari 'ety with several fanners for in crease work this coming sea son. It seems to me that good, high-yielding, yellow-seeded va rieties are necessary in your territory to improve soybean conditions.
