Entered as Second Class Matter January 19, 1923, at the Postoffice at Wallace, Noorth Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Thursday, June 4, 1936 There isn’t any solution to the taxation pro blem except to pay them. If there is one thing that a candidate dis likes, it is a straight thinking voter who has the nerve to ask questions. Every state in the Union boasts of its cli- { mate. Some stress the sunshine and a few have been known to boost the moonshine. A teacher suggests that every American pu pil be required to speak a foreign language perfectly. It might be well to have them speak English as well. Personally, we would like to see the day when workers are assured of jobs but we have to admit that many workers do better when they are not assured of one. THE PRIMARY APPROACHES The Democratic electorate of Duplin County and the entire State will go to the polls Sat urday to cast their ballots for a long list of candidates for the several offices to be filled this Fall. The majority, will no doubt cast their vote for the candidates they think best qualified to fill the offices to which they aspire. On the other hand a minority will allow them selves to be led by a group who have nothing but their own selfish interests at heart. In this campaign, as in others past, The Enterprise has refrained from taking an active part. But at this time, just on the eve of the Primary, we would utter a word of warning to those who are inclined to hop someone’s band wagon just because the music is loudest. Take time yourself to weigh the candidates and the issues carefully, then cast your vote as you think best. Invariably the results will more than justify your action. GIRL SPENDS $70,000 A YEAR It may be interesting to parents, struggling to support families on moderate incomes, to learn that 12-year-old Gloria Vanderbilt spends about $70,000 a year to live. This is the little girl whose custody was the subject of a bitter legal battle between her mother and her aunt. She has an estate of nearly $4,000,000 and, apparently, is entitled to spend $70,000 a year if her family can find opportunities to use that much money. FREEDOM ABROAD Newspapers the other day recounted the ex perience of a Frenchman who was sent to jail for shouting “Heil, Hitler”. Now comes news from Germany that a fam ily of five persons has been sentenced to pri son for two years because they listened to a broadcast from Russia. Freedom abroad seems to consist of nothing except the right to support the government in power. THE BLACK LEGION Recent revelations of the existence of a ter rorist organization in Detroit, usually refer red to as the Black Legion, is an amazing dis closure to many Americans who have assured themselves that there is no room in this dem ocratic country for such an association. The only thing that we know about the De troit secret society is what has been printed in the newspapers of the country, but, as a general rule, the people of the United States will do well to condemn any secret society which attempts to daibble in politics or to right the wrongs of the country. That the Black Legion has been able to attract thousands of members is unmistakable evidence that there “ •■ -. ". .-.4 are many citizens in this country who need a course of instructions on the principles of Americanism. PLENTY OF MONEY AHEAD—MAYBE! We cheerfully admit our lack of knowledge ox the probable yield of various forms of tax ation in the United States. Whether the new revenue measure, so long debated by the House and Senate, is necessary, we do not know. How ever, it is interesting to read the statement of Chester T. Crowell, in his book, “Recovery Un limited”. He says: “The most careful calculations I have been able to obtain indicate that, on the basis of 1929 conditions, the present tax structure would yield a revenue to the Federal Govern ment of close to eight billions of dollars. This is considerably more than the Federal Gov ernment needs for ordinary expenses.” The only flaw in the argument, it appears, is that the country is not yet on the basis of 1929 conditions. Let us hope that Mr. Crowell is right and that the Federal Government will find ample resources to pay for its emergency expenditures. Washington News For U. S. Farmers REA PERMANENT FARM PRICES WEAKEN LAND VALUES IMPROVE CASH INCOME BETTER The Rural Electrification Administration has new become a permanent set-up as a result of the recent act of Congress, and Morris I. Cooke has been appointed Administrator for a term of 10 years, with the task of lending some $400,000,000 in a way to bring electricfi ty to the farmers of the nation. Since last August the REA has managed to lend only about $12,000,000 but under the new set-up, Mr. Cooke intends to take the initiative and activily show farmers how to organize in order to obtain loans. The central idea behind the Administration will be to prevent the building of new lines to skim off the cream of the customers, leaving other families in situations where they would have little chance to obtain current. What has been accomplished by REA is not to be measured by the small amount of money loaned for the construction of rural lines. As a result of its operation, there has been a con siderable gain in mileage of electric lines in rural areas. Much of this has been constructed without financial aid from the REA. Farm prices are tending toward weakness and Secretary Wallace is on record as expect ing “surprising” things to happen to farm pri ces if normal weather continues and the Am erican farmer fails to recapture foreign mar kets for his surplus production. Given extremely favorable growing condi tions, it is feared that production will outstrip present demand and thus pile up new surplus es. How to avoid this is the question. Of course, foreign outlets for excess production would answer the problem. Without them ri gid production control will apparently be ne cessary to the welfare of the farmer regard less of the methods adopted to secure such con trol. Farm land values in the principal agricul tural section of the country increased again for the year ending March 1st, according to the Bu reau of Agricultural Economics. This is the third annual increase in succession since 1931, when farm land values shrank to the lowest price level since 1912. A six-year high record for cash income was made by farmers of the country during the first fcur months of 1936, when the sale of their products, plus government benefit payments, reached $2,079,000,000. This compares with $1,970,000,000 a year ago, according to the Bu reau of Agricultural Economcs. Interesting also is the fact that only $62, 000,000 came from government rental pay ments, as compared with $221,000,000 for last year. Lower prices of wheat, cattle, hogs, and other products were offset by larger market ings The experts believe that farm income for the second half of 1936 has a good chance to exceed that of last year if industrial activity continues at its present level, although this forecast may be affected by ned crop yields, causing lower prices. That farmers are buying increased goods is also apparent. This is evidenced by a report from Moline, Illinois, where a housing short age is reported as a result of the influx of hun dreds of families, attracted by booms in the factories of three principal farm implement companies. These plants recently set an all tim high for factory employment. CARDWELL’S OLUMN SANDHILL SECTION By Guy A. Cardwell Agricultural & Industrial Agt., A. C. L. Railroad Co. This is the last article of the series of articles dealing with the revised agricultural pro-j gram of North Carolina coun-j ties served by the Atlantic Coast Line. Extension Circu lar No. 208, North Carolina Col lege of Agriculture carries the following description of Area Five-A, and reminds certain changes to be made to improve, the system of farming largely followed in' the Sandhill sec-J tion of the counties mentioned, j Area Five-A Area Five-A is what is j known as the Sandhill Section,' which includes parts of Cumb erland, Harn-et£, Scotland, R | erland, Harnette, Moore, Hoke, j Scotland and Lee Counties. This area differs from the rest of the Coastal Plan in hav ing much coarser soils and a more rolling topography. Drainage is excessive on most soils, and erosion is likely to occur unless steps are taken to prevent it. The open nature of the soils makes them subject to constant leaching of plant food. Theyi also suffer more than most oth er soils of the state from ex tremes of drought and wet wea ther. To correct this condition requires the constant turning under of legumes adapted to the area, such as velvet beans and vetch. When this is done, and fertilizers used properly, good crop yields are obtained. Cotton is the chief crop, oc cupying over half the cultivat ed land. Other crops are corn, tobacco, small grains, peaches, dewberries and blackberries. The number of livestock kept is too small. This area needs soil improve ment crops more than any dis cussed so far. The best ones are velvet beans, and although cowpeas, soybeans and even lespedeza may be used under some conditions. The increase in soil improve ment crops will necessairily mean a reduction in cotton acreage. There should also be an in crease in dairy cattle, and per haps in other livestock. To a large extent pasturage in this area will have to be de pended upon from Bermuda ?rass and from suitable annual legumes and small grains. For dry forage the main reli ance will have to be onCowpeas, oats and vetch, corn.stover and wild grasses. Supreme Court voids measure aiding bankrupt municipalities.
