CARDWELL, ' General Agricultural Agent, " Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. . In a recent article I expressed my self as follows: "The public mind is much distrubed at present over busi ness recession, lack of employment and low buying power, and properly so, for the times are most uncertain; but I do not believe that political ac tion in every adverse wind is the ans wer to our economic problems. It seems to me that we need to remind ourselves that success in the past has very largely come from the use of sound sense, hard work, and confi dence in our own integrity and in that of our fellow-man, whether he happens to be in our own or in some other camp." In the June issue of Carolina Co operator, The Journal of Organized Agriculture in North Carolina, I dis covered, to my gratification, that General Manager M. G. Mann of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Asso ciation and Farmers Cooperative Ex change,; had given utterance to his views in this language. "Legislation alone cannot make a permanent agri cultural prosperity. If farming is ever to be a permanent and success ful business, we must solve our own farm problems and through co-op,era-. tion grow better crops and market them in a way to get our share 'of the consumer's dollar, etc." Congratulations, Mr. Mann. I firm ly believe that you are on the right track, as is also Governor . Hoey, if he has been correctly quoted as say ing "that the government cannot solve the problem of making the farmers prosperous and self-supporting that is the farmers' problem." While most farmers do need gov ernment aid in working out of the morass in which they find themselves, I fear that constant reliance on poli tical aid will destroy all self-reliance, and that the remaining independent, courageous and intelligent farm fami lies, along with those who are now almost hopeless, will degenerate into weaklings, standing with hands out stretched, palnis up, constantly await ing handouts. Assuredly we want to save America and American farmers from this fate. I have confidence that we will v'ork out of our difficulties, in time, if we will carefully study conditions, and if we will hold to the principles that have made America great and raised the standard of living of the people of this Nation to peaks that have astonished the other nations of the world. Farm tenants and sharecroppers in the South did not participate in form er times of prosperity, except very occasionally; and these unfortunates must now now be helped. But they should be helped in ways that will in spire them with ambition. ' Their in dependence, if "they have any left, must rtot be destroyed by leading them to depend too largely on gov ernment aid. They must be encour aged to rely on their own strength of character and experience in working out their business salvation WHITESTON NEWS Miss Annie Winslow has returned from General Hospital, Norfolk, Va., and is convalescing satisfactorily at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.

Answer: This depends upon the condition of the tobacco and the care exercised in handling. As a general rule, tobacco should be marketed as soon after curing as is practical. After the weed has been left for a few days in the pack house and then "cooped" to allow the,;, leaves to straighten out and undergo any changes necessary for the improve ment in color, it should then be grad ed and marketed. If graded tobaceo is held over, if should be repacked at least once a day to prevent mold in .case the weed has a little too much moisture. - How can I prevent growing on my dairy 1 Question, horns from calves? , Answer:: The development pf horns can be prevented by applying caustic soda of potash to: the horn buttons when the calf is from four to eight days old.
