Except in 1934, the Army has won consistently in recent years. _ Winter Farming Deserves Attention In No. Carolina Shortage o|f Feed in West Places Emphasis on Home Grown Feeds, Says Agricultural Editor at State College. By F. H. JETER (State College Agricultural Editor) It is hard for one to realize that, it is entirely possible for this fair land of North Carolina to become a barren waste. But such is the truth; Thfcpe recent [drouths and the condition of our eroded hills causes one to pause and think of such a possibility. Recently we have been reading in the press about fierce, Moors from the Spanish Af rican possessions moving over from Morrocco and Tripoli to aid those who are rebelling against the Spain ish central government. History tells us that as late as the rise of Mohammed, Tripoli had a popula tion of six million persons and the land was clothed with vineyards, orchards and forests. It is now bare of vegetation. The streams are dri ed up and the population has shrunk to a mere 45,000. China, so it is said, is a land of death and drouth, of famine and flood. But this was not always so. For hundreds of Yqars, until about I NOW! I I You Can Afford To Be I I Well Dressed I I BECAUSE I I J. C. WHITT'S Cleaning I | LASTS LONGER | ' fra i I J. C. WHITT I I Roxboro, N. C. I OUR PROPOSITION IS A CLEAN ONE We Invite You To Sell In Roxboro 1200 A. D. China was a land of plenty. The fertile plains were plains of abundance just as it is with us and few thought the day would come when famine would stalk through the land and it would become a place, of sorrows. Palestine A Waste Land The arid parts of Palestine, the Valley of the Euphrates and the Trigris rivers and even the Arabian penisula were once flourishing ag ricultural countries. Now they are largely depopulated and a few fierce tribes fight for existence over every drop of water and every sign of vegetation. The great popula tions that once existed at these pladep have passed to present gen erations the burden of paying for former exploitation and the price is heavy. Perhaps, our payments are on the way. Our country is still young, com paratively, and with youthful en thusiasm we have udqd our natural resources without thought for the future. When one farm was worn out, its fertility exhausted, it was possible to clear more land or move to a new The land was bound less and the soil inexhaustible, so we thought. But during the recent depression we began to take stock If you knew where you could have your Fall Clothes cleaned so that they would stay clean longer, always look fresh and feel comfortable, that’s where you would send your clothes, isn’t it?

WHITT gives you value in cleaning and prices—your clothes stay clean longer be cause we take out all the grease and stains, make it hard for dirt and dust to settle again in these special fabrics.

C. 1 and we found that we could noJ run away from our troubles to new and virgin areas. We found that we had to face the situation and then there appeared before our amazed eyes hills, barren forest lands, infertile fields, choked streams 1 —a country exploited. The thing we saw was not pleasant and with our other difficulties some gave up, let their lands go for taxes or for mortgage interest, and mov,ed to the nearest breadline But not all. The majority of thossi on the land began to cooperate in the new agricultural programs and to study the situation. As a result we are giving more attention now than ever before, to problems of soil erosion, soil building, and the conservation of our natural resourc es. The Immediate Job While North Carolina farmers consider these things and make) plans for the future through a long time program, the immediate job is to do something to help relieve the situation right now. In my opinion, one of thfq first things to do is to engage in winter farming. Just re cently, _I made a trip through the mid-western states and saw some thing of the drouth out there. Corn is small and can yield but mediocre crops; pastures are burned; there is little hay, and in some parts of the area there are no crops at all. Corn was selling for about $1.25 a bush el at the time of my visit and hogs * BKMNT WALKER IS 1 MGR. BUDGET DEPT; Comes to Roxhiro Economy Auto Supply With Large Amount of Experience. Mr. Bryant B.

This means that we cannot expect to buy fees! from the mid-west this coming winter and spring. If we have not grown it this summer, we had better grow it this winter. Therefore, the wise farmer is going to do some winter farming. He will plant crimson clover, vetch and many other crops.
