A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Plead my course, 0 Lord, with them that strive
with me. Fight against them that fight against me.
Psalms 35:1.
A CALL FOR BIG PRODUCTION
This is a call for every reader of the News to pro
duce as much food in 1946 as he orshepossiblv can.
a world faces the gigantic emergency of famine
among five hundred million people.
The cry of the hungry is going up all over Europe,
India and China.
This is the time for the American farmer, with his
genius for production, to use strength and power to
grow every pound of food he possibly can this year.
When it comes to us farmers in Western North
Carolina, we need to increase the production of every
farm crop. We need a greater production of corn,
and this can be brought about b>' fertilizing and pro
ducing per acre. We need to treble our milk produc
tion; we need to quadruple our poultry production.
We need more beef cattle, more sheep, more potatoes,
and more vegetables.
This is the year, in spite of broken down machin
ery; in spite of lack of help and in spite of cuts in
quotas; for the Western North Carolina fanner to
grow everything he can.
We do not have enough turkeys, or eggs, or poul
try, or milk, or hogs in Western North Carolina to
even feed ourselves. Let’s help ourselves and help the
world by planning and carrying through an all-time
record of high production on the farms of Western
North Carolina this year.
o
INCREASED INCOME FROM POULTRY
Poultry is increasing the income of the farmers of
Western North Carolina. The goal which we set some
years ago is a hundred hens per farm. We are mak
ing progress toward that goal, and we are making
a lot of progress with the quality of poultry. The
quality of poultry in Western North Carolina has im
proved tremendously in the last ten years. We now
have hens that make good money for their owners;
we now have hens that lay lots of eggs, and the egg
production of Western North Carolina is growing
rapidly. ’
We need a larger egg production, and it is just too
bad to see car loads of eggs brought ni from the mid
dle west, at a time when eggs are bringing such high
prices. There is opportunity to increase the egg pro
duction in Western North Carolina ten times; there
is also the same opportunity with poultry.

ECHOES FROM THE
MOUNTAINS
H. Grady Hardin.
o
Studies by the University of
Chicago recently state statistically
what is becoming more obvious in
our human nature. Mankind is
generally willing to agree with
a large idea and program, but not
so willing to accept the individual
responsibility for getting these
ideas operating. For instance,
their study shows that a large
number of people are willing to
agree that the world water-ways
should be free to all people. But
many of those same people were
not willing to surrender our right
to control the Panama Canal. In
the larger issue we can see the
“right” way, but we balk in the
particular.
By the same token we are too
often unwilling to “pay the price”
for our higher ideals. We want
fine families and are too often
unwilling to sacrifice enough of
our own time to build a fine
family of our. Most people agree
that churches are assets to a com
munity, but the majority of the
people in our community are not
even willing to become a part
of a church.
There are others who have taken
the vows of church membership
and still do not become actively
engaged in its work. We all want
better political leaders, hut it
is hard to get the most capable
people in a community to run for
an office. We long for peaceful
labor relations, but few are willing
to take a cut in dividends. Mill
ions have died fighting for a
peaceful world, but we dont want
to rebuild the social structure of
a peaceful world.
In discovering the ends which
we should move we have made a
step forward. In developing a will
ingness to follow the means that
lead to worthy ends we will
have solved the first and most
important step in needed re
construction.
Highest Quality Silk
A movement was started in the
United States about 1830 to produce
silk. Proper varieties of silkworms
were not available and the industry
failed.
It has not been determined that
California has a more suitable cli
mate than Japan for silkworm
culture, being able to raise three
crops a year, contrasted with Ja
pan’s one, and at the same time
produce a better quality silk.
In Texas sericulture has become
a community project. At Mineral
Wells, a fund to develop the Texas
silk culture was oversubscribed.
There are other states in the South,
East and West, where silk culture
can be made to produce satisfac
tory returns.

Our Short Sermon
PSALMS 4:5
When your whole trust is in God
when you acknowledge that He is
you become a poised person in
mind, body, and spirit. Control
of your thoughts and emotions
through the Christ spirit within
you blesses you with a calm or
derly mind and a tranquil, serene
spirit. Training and control of the
muscles of the body is manifested
in a graceful, well-balanced body.
Begin each day by acknowled
ging your trust in God. Free
your mind from thoughts of doubt
and fear and personal responsi
bility and know that God is in
charge of your life and affairs.
Affirm that His life activates
your body, making you well co
ordinated physically. Know that
His peace and order are estab
lished in your mind, giving you
poise to see you through every
situation.
Let His peace and serenity per
vade your heart, giving you har
mony and emotional stability.
As you let go of the thoughts and
feelings that make you tense and
let trust in God fill your heart
and mind you will become truly
poised, and you will be truly
blessed

Raising of Buckwheat
For Rutin Extraction
Buckwheat has been discovered to
be a much more economical source
than tobacco as a source of rutin,
a drug used in the prevention of
many causes of blindness and heart
diseases.
The buckwheat is harvested while
still In its green stage. As the
plant will not sprout again, it is
necessary to reseed if more than one
crop is to be secured. It is pos
sible to secure two or three crops.

Swine Tuberculosis
Spread by Chickens
Tuberculosis in swine increased 10
per cent last year, according to the
American Veteri
nary Medical asso
ciation. One hog in
every 14 slaugh
tered, showed tu
berculosis lesions. •
Such meat, when
inspected, must be
condemned. This represents a heavy
financial loss to the swine raising
industry.
Tuberculosis in swine is not
spread from animal to animal, un
less the udder of the sow is infect
ed. The control and eradication of
the disease in swine depend on erad
icating tuberculosis in cattle and
poultry.
As old-aged flocks of chickens are
the chief spreaders or tuberculosis
to swine, farmers should keep poul
try out of hog lots,- and dispose of
the older birds each year.

sale to elevators or to meet the

DDT Has an Important
Rival in Velsicol 1068
A compound of chlorinated hy
drocarbon, product of the Univer
sity of Illinois insect experiments,
is said to be three to four times as
toxic to houseflies as DDT and
twice as toxic to potato-beetle lar
vae and to pea and spirea aphids.
It is about equal to DDT in its ef
fect on mosquitoes. Other new ccm
petitors of DDT include the Britisn
insecticide Gammexane and TDE,
tetrachloro-dipbenyl-e thane.
