THE PERQUIMANS SWE2ZLY, HESTFOKI), N. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15. 1SS5. 1 GlahciiiiAt ThrGeiieral Assembly By'M. L. SHIPMAN ' Raleigh; Feb. ll--In: mid-stream, the present-session of the Legislature baa reached the point that it is be ginning to march up the hill and then march down again. At such a stage, it la impossible to predict with cer tainly what will happen to major leg. , islatfon. .-Members are subjected to high pressure in Raleigh, and wnen they go home for the week-ends there la ether pressure applied. If a mem ber strays ff the reservation during his week's star in Baieign, tnoae in terested in getting him back put the pressure' oa him at home, if they can. It is a part of the great game of poli tics. It J a condition that contri butes to lensrthv sessions, and this 1 year is no exception to the rule. It is widely heralded that the jcint finance committees are now in retreat from the Administration's sales tax measure. It is true that the com mittee has voted to remove the ten- dollar exemption, at the instance of Revenue Commissioner A. J. Maxwell and will likely stick by this, but it is too early to say that the rate of three percent will be reduced. It is possi ble, too, that a gross sales tax will be levied, but it is by no means certain, It appears probable that the appro priation for schools will be increased to $20,000,000 a year, and this mean; that more revenue must be found There will be a busy search for sources, but it is too early to say where it will be found. The greater University is asking f oi an increase of $300,000 from the million dollars allotted by the budget bureau. President Frank Grahanr made a strong appeal in behalf of the three institutions composing the greater University. He had a sympa thetic audience. Always the question arises: Where is the money coming from? Many of the friends of edu cation say that it must be done now as it was done in the past,, these must be the determination to get the mon ey, and if there is the determination the money will be found. Senator John Sprunt Hill has drop ped his State liquor control bill into the legislative hopper. Representa tive Mere Day already had his bill ii the hopper. It is pobable that hear ings will be called at an early date. There promises to be plenty of fin works. The Drys are directing a gen era! broadside at all such bills on the ground that the people of the Stat voted overwhelmingly against sucl proposals in the last referendum elec tion. But supporters of such meas ures point out that this was on the question of the repeal of the eigh teenth amendment, and had nothing to do with State Liquor control. In theory they are right, but the issues made in that election was between the Wets and the Drys. So it hap pens that there is plenty of argument on bith sides, but so far it has been in good spirit Nobody questions the honesty or the intergrity of the spon sors of the liquor measures. They only question their wisdom. State Superintendent of Public In struction Clyde Erwin has had his baptism of fire before the Appropria tions committee. There was an im mense crowd, so many that they had to adjourn to the Hugh Morson high 'school auditorium. People came from ail sections of the State. The State school head asked for $22,000,000 a year for schools. He wasgunning for $20,000,000 no doubt, and present in dications are that the Legislature is m a mood to do something toencour ge development of the schools. There Ha general realisation that some thing must be done. The only ques tion is how much. After starting out with determin ation to do something to insure better driving of automobiles on the State highways, the Senate bogged down on the State licensing bill, and it went over for another week. It is a diffi cult Job, and the legislators want to hear from the people at home. Thej want to be sure that they have public support In the meantime the House beat Representative Williams' bill t make imprisonment mandatory for drunken drivers. That was too far reaching in its implications to suit the House. The Legislature has outlawed walk thons. This law mainly interested the people of Raleigh. A tent had been set up outside of the city with Maples entertaining the crowds who Came from morbid curiosity to see the walkers. It proved to be a center of great interest r , V " " ' ' I i The State Highway Commission got mm action the past week with the re quest by the new chairman,' Capus Waynick, that the Legislature mak three million dollars immediately available for construction work in the The usual appropriations are rzii for the fiscal year, which does cot bejin until next July. The State L!;iway system is the State's biggest taoney-speader, its budget calling for f2SS0,000-for next year and $25,- : , : tVA- 700,000 the following year. It is in an advantageous position as it draws its revenue from gasoline sales taxes, and there is nothing in North Caro lina more popular than driving auto mobiles. - People will go hungry to Representative E. - B.- Cloud is a legislator without a party.' He quit the Democratic party, in Polk when he says the Democratic nomination was stolen from him. He ran on the Re publican ticket and was elected, but he says that he is a Democrat still The Republicans do not claim him, or want him. The Democrats look askance at him. They even tried to kill a local bill for him in the House. But Tam Bowie, who champions the rights of a local representative to legislate for his constituency, said that he considered Cloud a Democrat still and championed his measure. Cloud looked lonely as the House side tracked his local government bill to : committee. This is the week that the finance or revenue bill is due to come fron, the committee to the House. It is improbable that such will happen, but even if it does it will be the latter part of the week, and most of the members will already be looking: to wards home. That means it will not be considered before next week. In the old days, the Legislature got through the first week in March. But it is approaching March, and it has not yet really gotten down to serious business. Most of its work has been in killing bills. Birth Certificates Reach Washington Fully 20,000 little ' buff-colored cards each representing the birth of a baby in North Carolina during the past year, had arrived in Washington properly filled in by as many parents by Saturday night This number is estimated, based on receipt by Tuesday night of last week of 10,200, and slightly more than 15.000 that had reached the Bureau of the Census by - Thursday night This is a splendid record, according to Willard C. Smith, assistant chidf statistician, and H. R. Green, special agent of the Bureau of the Census, who arrived in Raleigh last week ana have been traveling over the ,Stnte assisting in organizing field forces to see that all, "Register Your Baby" campaign cards are returned. North Carolina has made a splen did start and is expected to take its place among the leaders in- percent age of cards returned, properly filled out Mr. Smith and Mr. Green stated. They urge that every parent of every child born within the last year fill in and mail these cards, in order to make the State record as complete as pos sible. The local postoffice will suppiy any parents who, for any reason, failed to get these cards last week. The State Board of Health, the Census Bureau and the State Emer gency Relief Administration are co operating in this campaign to. make it possible that every child born in the State the past year and from now on may be able' to secure a birth cer tificatedescribed the "baby's citizen, ship papers." Growing Food On Farm Betters Family Living The cash earnings of live-at-home farmers are only a smal part of their real income, says Dr. C. Horace Hamilton, rural sociologist atPthe N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station. In fact he says, the incomes of farm families compare favorably with those of average . industrial families when account is taken of all the benefits provided by the farm. A recent survey of 98 farm fam ilies and 57 representative industrial families showed that the average cash income of both groups was about $1,000 a year per family. Aside from $40 worth of food ob tained from small gardens, the indus trial family had to buy all of its sup plies out of the $1,000. : Bur the farm family obtained $540 worth of food and other living items from the farm. And it did not have to pay , out cash ; for water, fuel, house rent and some food. The farm family paid cash for 40 per cent of its living and obtained the other 60 per cent directly from the farm.' The industrial family paid cash for 96 per cent of its living and got four per cent fom the garden. ' Dr Hamilton points out that the more a farm family . lives at home, the higher is its standard of living. Living at home also makes' the farm er more independent of economic con ditions in the rest of the world. , . Jt is for this reason, he explains, that the New Deal programs for ag riculture are stressing the self -suffi ciency side of farming and encourag ing rural" rehabilitation,subsistence, rural industrial villages, and the like. .

Reliahilitv Of North I Carolina Farm Census The Federal Farm Survey Census, a survey intended to reach every farmer in the United State, is made only at five-year intervals. There is no reliable method to measure shifts in acreage on a county basis for the years between except through the yearly North Carolina Farm Survey. The reliability Of the N, C. Farm Census needs no defense. , Informat tion resulting from reportsaby 95 out of every 100 farmers must yield more accurate information than any other excepting for larger pecentages. Checking Farm Census information with the only other sources obtaining a full report shows remarkable agree ments. These other agencies are INDEPENDENT in eYery sense from the Farm Census reports. The fol lowing shows a comparison! 1. The acreage surveyed by engi neers under A. A. A. supervision for 1934 varied from the North Carolina tobacco figure (Farm Census) by only 2.5 percent 2. The total acreage planted to cotton, given by all cotton applicants under the Bankhead Act, varied from the Farm Census Cotton Acreage by 3.7 percent. 3. A farm agent in Haywood County attempted to check or dis prove farm survey figures for his county. The two surveys were with in one percent of each other. 4. In 1929, the last year in which both the Federal Census and tho Farm Survey were taken, the latter showed larger adjusted acreage for ail major crops. Washington officials de pend upon the Federal Census as, more or less, authoritative. Due to convincing evidence presented by means of the N. C. Farm Survey, North Carolina received larger con trol program allotments than did states with no such facts to prove ad ditional claims. ft has been impossible in the past, due to various reasons, to get a 100 percent report from every county. This does not mean that the total fig ure reported for the county is accept ed. This figure is adjusted to bring it up to what it probably would be had all farmers reported. Due to the large number actually answering the questions of the list-taker, tho adjust ed figure becomes the most reliable one obtainable.! ' 14-YEAR-OLD CLAY COUNTY .

Question: "Should chicks be helped put of the Bheil on the day of hatch? Answer: Chicks that do not have enough vitality to get out of the shell by themselves are usually constitu tionally' weak and any aid in emer ging from the shell will not help. This practice will produce inferior chicks and such chicks are often the starting point of a disease outbreak. Let the chick get enough strength to fight its way out This will tend to make strong adult birds. t Question: How much fall should be given a Man gum terrace? Answer: This depends upon the length of the terrace but in no case should the fall exceed six inches to every 100 feet of terrace. Where the terrace is 300 feet from the outlet a fall of 6 inches is preferable. If tho distance from outlet is .from three to six hundred feet the fall should be four inches. For each 300 feet of dis- tance the fall is lowered just half of the previous fall.

Another good example Is the girl's love of dolls, or the boy's insistent wish for pets. Real drives are there, planted by nature dur ing the history of the human race. In effect nature says of the girl "she's destined to become a moth er; she needs to be prepared." Within the female child nature plants an urge or drive which comes out at a certain age as a desire. The doll may be a jre- modelled clothes pin or madevof rags or the best man can make. But the-girl gives it her love, while she nurtures it cares for it with a very real devotion. From it she acquires a sense of ownership. She has practiced sympathy and the feeling of mothering. The boy from care of his pets is a changed character. A life de pended upon him. He gave affec tion and care. He practiced toler ance. He was rehearsing the busi ness of fathering. There are many other drives to be discussed later. To utilize them is real education.
