Catered ae Second Close Hotter Jenuery 19, 1923, at the Postofflce at Wallace, North Carolina, under the Act of March S, 1879. Thursday, September 24, 1936 Waiting for an important visitor, if you have any, is a tiresome affair. The trouble with so many presidential polls is that the politicians read ’em both ways. Most vacationists have now gotten over their vacations and are beginning to work again. Just to get off to an early start, we suggest that all traffic laws be rigorously enforced in 1937. TAKE YOUR CHOICE The chances are that somebody, reading this article, will be seriously injured in an auto mobile accident within the next few weeks. Of course, as you read, you remark to your self, “it isn’t going to be me”, and you may be right, but, unfortunately, you may be wrong. Can you do anything about the risk? Cer tainly, you can. Make it your business to drive carefully, take no chances and walk rather than ride with speed maniacs. The chances are that some of your friends will think you are a “scared cat” but, if they *re reckless drivers, you probably are and ought to be. Anyway, looking at the subject from a wide angle, would you rather be a •"scared cat” or a dead, game sport? GERMANS FLY FOR SPAIN At the headquarters of Gen. Francisco Fran co’s revolutionary army, at Caceres, Spain, is a large flying field from which, says a corres pondent of the New York Times, German avia tors go out to bomb the government forces and positions. For some time it has been puzzling to un derstand the business of certain German avi ators but the newspaper man declares that he ■"has seen ten huge green German bombers and seventeen pursuit planes take off for action.” German aviators make no pretense of wearing Spanish uniforms. “Foreign airmen are liter ally winning the uprising for one side in the Spanish revolution,” concludes the writer. V PREVENTING FIRES Fire Prevention week occurs next month but that is no reason we should not emphasize, im mediately, the responsibility that rests upon every citizen in regard to preventing fires. The time of the year is at hand when the number of fires will sharply increase, as cold er weather arrives and people begin to heat up their homes instead of complaining about the heat on the outside. Inevitably, some furnaces and flues have deteriorated and when used without adequate inspection and proper re pairs a fire results. The loss of property that results from fires ir. the United States is appalling but the loss of life is great enough to make every home maker concerned over the welfare of those within the family circle. Many fires could be averted if, in each house, there lived some careful person, who made it his or her busi ness to see that dangerous fires are not allow ed to develop from a callous disregard of safe ty precautions that are known but seldom re garded. '/V -- OUR SCHOOLS ADVANCE With the schools of the nation' open and mil lions of youngster* crowding the classrooms it is right and proper for American citizens to appreciate what the educational process means to the boys and girls of the nation. The fact that “an education” is being given to more of the young people than ever before is evident and also the fact that the courses of study, laid out in our schools, have broadened to include much more than the three R's of ear lier days. High schools have multiplied, with • • *. , • . _ lA.-v j. advancing goals for the teen-age students, who are receiving a greater educational opportuni ty than their parents. The statistics of education, however, based upon school censuses and formal courses of study, cannot complete the entire story of mo dern problems. The school today has taken over, more completely than ever, the life of the average student and has assumed, in advanced areas, a greater responsibility in the growth and culture of the individual. This new field has widened the obligations that the school has to its students. It has giv en to teachers everywhere more onerous duties, requiring greater insight into human develop ment and a keener perception of the difficulties facing boys and girls of this age. It has ne cessitated the acceptance of additional respon sibility on the part of those charged with the management and operation of schools. Whether teachers, principals and trustees are conscious of the new demands remains to be seen. In isolated and scattered localities there are signs that they are and in other com munities there are indications that they have not modernized their concept of the education al processes and the goal to be attained. How ever, in mass these officials are beginning to realize that they must look to a new day and in that spirit lies much hope. (Washington News For U. S. Farmers DROUGHT LOSSES PARITY IDEA ADVANCES FARM MORTGAGES Appraising the losses sustained by the na tion as a result of the drought, the Federal Crop Reporting Board estimates the total acre age harvested this year will be ten percent be low normal but- about ten percent greater than in 1934. Crop yields are estimated at about sixteen percent below the average but some what greater than two years ago. General rains in late August ended the crop deterioration in about two-thirds of the drouth area, although serious conditions continue to exist in scattered localaties. The corn crop, which suffered most, is estimated at 1,458,295, 000 bushels, the smallest since 1881. Last year the crop was 2,291,629,000 bushels. Every student of agriculture knows that the farm crisis was produced by the production of surpluses, which could not be used in this country and for which there was no market abroad. The drought and the crop curtailment programs have combined to eliminate sur pluses, but Secretary Henry A. Wallace insists that ‘ if wie have ordinary weather and if for eign purchasing power is not restored, these surplus problems will return.” Those who recall the AAA in its original form will remember that its purpose was to achieve parity prices for farmers. The meth od adopted was to control production in order to remove surpluses but, of course, the drouths rendered this procedure unnecessary. Current price indices show that parity pri ces for farmers have been almost attained. On August 15th, the ratio of prices received by farmers for their products to the prices paid by them for commodities they bought stood at 98 percent. A year ago it was at 85 percent. Before the drought this summer, the figure was 89 percent. With parity prices almost at hand, officials of the Agriculture Department have in mind a larger objective. They would secure parity of farm income with income of urban dwellers and, to this end, the new Soil Conservation Program and present farm payments are be ing directed. I' Fewer American farms are under mortgage today, and the total farm mortgage debt—$7, 700,000,000—is smaller than in any period since the prosperity days of the mid-twenties, according to the Farm Credit Administration. Several reasons are cited by the FCA. One is that hard times decreased farm income and therefore the tendency of farmers to buy new land on mortgage. Another is the foreclosure during the farm depression, which continued until the New Deal farm program got under way. A third is the scaling down of the mortgage debt either through individual voluntary ac tion of mortgage holders, or through FCA refi nancing arrangements which have reduced it by approximately $200,000,000. Finally, the normal reduction of mortgages at a time when farmers are s$ill not inclined to take on new acreage has played its part. The number of farms under mortgage on January 1 this year stood at 2,300,000 in round numbers, or approximately thirty-four percent of all the farms in the country. This was a decrease of two percent in the number under mortgage in 1928. JSMUH®1€ wONOEK WHY * wtvex 6er 4lono?

Hunting Warning Is Issued By Chalk Game Commissioner Releases List of “Don’ts” and Rsks For Cooperation With large scale hunting slated to get underway Thurs day as the deer season opens, and with at least one hunter already killed, John D. Chalk, State Commissioner of game and inland fisheries, urges that every precaution be taken to guard against hunting acci dentst A group of eight “don’ts”, five of them directly concern ing safety, have been advanced by the commissioner: ‘Don’t keep your gun loaded except when hunting, but han dle it at all times as if it were loaded; don’t point your gun at anyone, no matter how sure you are that it is empty; don’t car ry your gun when climbing fences or brush piles; don’t handle a gun by the muzzle or pull it muzzle-first to you; don’t shoot at any game unless you can see it clearly enough for positive identification; don’t violate the farmer’s hospitali ty; don’t throw your smoke away without putting It out; and don’t hunt without a li cense.” Announce Marriage Of interest to friends is the announcement of the marriage of Mrs. Bettie Whitfield to Ja cob Smith, Beulaville, the wed ding being solemnized in Tren ton, September 12.

Cardwell The price of both meat and livestock will be higher in 1937, according to a prediction re cently made by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. ‘‘Because of this year’s drou ght meat supplies next year will be about as small as in 1935 following the widespread drought of 1934. For this rea son and because of prospective improvement in consumer de mand the general level of both meat and livestock prices in 1937 is expected to be higher' than for several years. | The reduction in supplies! next year, following the seri-| ous drought the nation has been passing through, will be most marked in pork and the better grades of beef. The de crease in supplies will be the result of the feed shortage! caused by unfavorable weather which now extends1 over the principal feed-grain producing regions. Total supplies of feed grains may be as small this year as they were after the 1934 drought. However, hay and roughage supplies are better than in 1934, and the number of hay consuming animals is smaller. The feed situation will af fedt this year the trend of hog numbers more than the trend of any other species of live •stock. The number of pigs pro duced next year will be cur tailed feoneiderably while cat tle numbers will also be reduc ed possibly 8 to 4 percent. Sheep numbers on farms next Janu ary 1st may be larger than last January 1st, but the number of lambs on feed for market may be smaller.” | Does this prediction mean anything to farmers in Virginia and the Carolina*? Does it 1 present opportunities to those | farmers with pasture, feed, and (foundation herds for profit and also for public service? If so, i careful management should (lead to profits for those who are in position to take advantage [of the present distressing sit uation in the drought area, while at the same time live stock production on farms in this section might help in lev eling prices, to some extent, which would otherwise heavily fall on a large consumer class.
