Should Not Pull
Fodder Declares'
Union Citizen
(Ashcraft in Enquirer)
The late Ervin Mcdlin, who
lived in East Monroe township,
j for a long time had the reputation
j of being one of the best “corn”
i farmers in Union county. There
j still is earn, known ns the “Mcdlin
vaiicry,” and i{ is good.
Mr. Mcdlin, even in his day,
was wont to say that pulling fod
der damaged the ears of corn
more than the value of the fod
ider. That being true the man who
stripped the fodder blades from
the stalks lost bis time and of- i
fort.
Many of the best farmers of
Union county have ceased ‘'pull
ing fodder” preferring to grow hay
instead for provender for cattle and
horses.

F00L1NU THE PUBLIC
The Beaufort News.
L.'ke all towns of any size Beau
fort is afflicted with a good mnny
worthless advertising schemes.
Usually the summer is the time
when these fly by night advertis
ing artists favor us with their at
tentions. They generally come
a'oi.g and tie up with some frater
nal order, church society or other
publ.c institution and by prontis
ing to give d small commission to
some good cause are permitted to
exploit the public. Under the pre
tense that they - are working for
some local cause or other they
will sell advertising space or
something else at ridiculously high
prices. There ought to be some
Way to protect the public against
Such fakirs. Ip some of the larger
towns, where the merchants have
associations, no merchant will have
anything to do with any advertis
ing scheme unless it has been en
dorsed by his association. A mer
chants’ association might be a
good thing for Beaufort in this re
spect as well as in some other
ways.
After Cheaper School Books
! Official: of North Carolina are
determined to get cheaper text
books for the school children. The
fact lias heerf brought out and
proved that books used in North
Carolina arid Tennessee are prac
tically the same and that they cost
less in Tennessee than in North
Carolina.
There is no just cause for tins.
Bookmakers can sell their books
iust as cheap in North Carolina as
they can in Tennessee.
Representatives of the slate- and
the book companies met in Ral
eigh Friday and sought a com
promise, but rush was not reach
ed. The state representatives prob
ably will enter suit against the
companies so books for the school
term beginning in September can
be secured for prices which pre
vail in Tennessee.
There is a profit in the books
sold in Tennessee of course, for
the book companies would not
seek the business otherwise. If
that profit is enough to warrant
business, then it is not right that
a greater profit be secured in
North Carolina.
Superintendent Allen of tne
North Carolina board of educa
tion and other proper officials
should keep working on this mat
ter until cheaper books are avail
able in the State. It is an import
ant question, one affecting the
books of thousands of persons, ami
the fight should not. be dropped
until the cheaper books are avail
able.
The people of North Carolina d°
not expect the book companies to
prepare the books without profit,
of course, but neither do they ex
pect them to ask more profit here
than they get in Tennessee.
There’s no one who has his ups
and downs like an aviator.
