Appointment Made
By Gardner Pleases
Greensboro News.
Appointment of Mrs. Thomas W
Bickett of Raleigh as president of
the North Carolina railroad is
hailed in this office as quite one
of the mast instinctively friendly
and decent actirais of one who has
set himself the objective of be
coming known as the ‘friendly
governor."
This railroad presidency, paying
either $900 or $1,200 per annum—
what's the odds, when it is all net
profit.?—has been held since 1915,
barring one or two years when
that deserving Democrat. Col
Wade H. Harris of the Charlotte
Observer, received its emoluments
and made use of Its privileges, bv
Word H Wood. Mecklenburg's
most prominent politico-banker. It
is not improbable that Railroader
Wood made contributions to the
primary campaign funds of Gov
ernors Craig. Morrison and Mc
Lean commensurate with his sal
cry, and if rumor is correct, the
residue, if any, constituted a part
of the sinews of war supplied the
anti-Smith headquarters. There is
nothing in law. prophets or Demo
cratic handbook preventing one
who doesn't need it from receiving
easy money Indeed, "them as has
gits; them as hamt don't." is the
general rule.
It Is an exception to the rule
which Governor Gardner has pro
vided. And since the money could
not be saved to the state In any i
event no end of ordinary folks will
be pleased to know that Mrs.
Bickctt is to get it. More especial
ly since it Is realized that she din
not in any way appreciably con
tribute to Governor Gardner's elec
tion and is not a member of his
political household.
She is first of all a splendid i
woman, thereafter a good citizen j
and a capable county welfare of- !
ficer She is in every way as well
qualified for the presidency of c
stale railroad as Word H. Wood
or Wade H Harris.
The Daily News prophesies fnr
her administration the satisfying
quiet and modest efficiency that
is m keeping with the best tra
ditions of the high oftice of profit
and trust to which she has been
called
And to this prophecy may be
added this tip: Governor Gardner
if he continues to recognize in n
substantial way those whom the
people of the state delight to honor
will have gone a long way towaid
securing to himself that general
good-will which we believe is I ts

Million Of Chinese Never
\ Eat A Grain Of Rich, Said
‘Empire Import* Much American
Flour. Statistic* Hard
| To Get.
j Will the Chinese cat
wheat?
American
Thai question has been raised i t
newspapers following the proposal
to buy American wheat to be sent
to starving Chinese
Irrespective of the merits of this
relief measure. the popular idea
that, every Chinese has a bowl of
rice in hand three or four times a
day is false, says a bulletin from the
Washington. D. C , headquarters of
the National Geographic society.
Eat More Wheat Than American*
Millon* of Chinese have'never
seen a grain of rice, much less eat
en rice.
About 150,000.000 Chinese, it Is es
timated, live chiefly on wheat. That
is. there are more Chinese who
lean on wheat as the staff of nfe |
than there are Americans who ‘'.it
bread.
No accurate statistic.* of China's
grain production ever have been
gathered The United States de
partment of commerce estimates
that the annual wheat production
of China lies somewhere between
200.000.000 and 600.000.000 bushe.
Wheat is grown in practically «!l
the provinces from the southern to
the northern borders. But the
northern provinces are China's true
wheat belts. Manchuria is in the
same longitude as Minnesota b it
wheat ripens weeks earlier than in
the Red River valley. Mukden, cap
ital of Manchuria, is already a mill
ing renter. the Minneapolis of
China.
Flour Export.* To East.
China already uses consideraoie
quantiles of American wheat, most
ly as flour, since she does not v?l
grow enough to supply her own
needs. During the first three months
of 1929 the United States shipped to
China, 1,016,256 barrels of wheat
flour valued at $5,356,000 This year
starts out like a record year i):
flour exports to the Far East. Dur
ing 1928 the United States sent J.
955.297 barrels vaiued at $10,567,000
Shensi and Kansu, provinces most
effected by famine are in northern
China, the region best adapted to
wheat raisng. Szechwan province
on the Tibet border reports an
average of 25 to 30 bushels per acr"
In the Nanking region two crops ol
wheat are raised annually with no
estimated production of 66.600,000
bushels. Shantung famous for !i*
rice, raises 47,000.000 bushels of
wheat per year.
Manchuria I* China'* Minnesota
But it, is Manchuria that has the
brightest wheat future Chine.?
are moving north into the unbroken
plains of Manchuria like Amerie 11
pioners moved into the Middle
West one hundreds years ago
Twenty million Chinese have gor*
into Manchuria in twenty years. It
Is one of the major migrations in
the history of the world. Yet half
of the arable land is still vacant.
Soy beans, which are used for soy
and Worcestershire sauce, cor.ic

With larger farms to work, the new
farmers of Manchuria find they car.
\ u:p American farm machinery;
tractor;;, harrows, plows and truck .
Many Chinese students in Ameri

One young man has broken from
Iris tradition After graduation Vo
America lie took up a 7,000-acre
[farm in Manchuria. He is report'd
doing very well with his big farm
on modern methods. Like the pio
neers of flip American Middle West
he lias been compelled to organize
a private militia or vigilante to pro
tect his property from bandits.
The Twilight Zone of Statistics.
World wheat, statistics genera,iv
exclude China and Russia from
their estimates. China has never
been an important factor either in
import or export and Russia has
ceased to be the big wheat export
ing nation it was before the Wor.d
war.
Stabilization of conditions in botn
countries would change the picture
The estimated Chines* production
200.000. 000 to BOO,000.000 bushels, put
it well up among the wheat grow
ing nations. The United States in
1928 raised 902.000,000 bushels of
wheat. Argentina, an importam
country In the world trade, raised
275.000. 000 bushels.
The increasing amount of wheat
flour being shipped to China 'n
face of apparent increased acreage,
is believed to show a growing de
mand among the Chinese for bread.
ASKS WRITING OP

Greensboro.—Joseph M. Dixon,

history that will place North Caro

Mr. Dixon was heard by a crowd ot
several thousands whir l was charm

A FACT FIVE YEARS AGO AND STILL A FACT TODAY
Out of a clear sl<y/ the Chrysler has brousht the motor car
industry to the point invariably reached in any industry of
economic importance. That is the point where revolutionary
improvements and advancements begin to render the original
invention obsolete—when previous practice is brought to a full stop. + That never
happens until the newest product proves its right to precedence/ by reason of greatly
simplified design, greater efficiency and operating results that are radically different."

Saturday Evening Post

WHAT CHRYSLER HAS DONE
It is hard to recall the day when there
were no Chrysler cars; difficult to re
member a time when the flashing
Chrysler wings had not yet appeared on
the world’s highways. And yet, that was
not so long ago—only five years, in fact.
Where it has taken the average automo
bile ten to twenty-five years of gradual,
plodding growth to achieve public
acclaim, Chrysler has risen swiftly to a
foremost and topmost place in the
industry in less than five short years!
What Chrysler has done is without
parallel. Overnight, a name became a
symbol of speed, quality, beauty and
safety. At Christmas, 1923, the
Chrysler emblem meant nothing in the
public mind. By Easter, 1924, it had
come to stand for leadership—a claim
uadenied to this day.
Fads come and go. Some motor cars
have their brief hour of popularity and
then are forgotten. Chrysler’s unprec
edented leap into a position in the ran
of the industry was neither forced nor
accidental. That place was won by
inherent worth and undeniable value.
Today, Chrysler is firmly entrenched at
the top, offering the finest performance
in its history. A ride is a revelation.
