OCTOBER 51940 f fyf J', ' f J' t 1 fa' UP it" if " v - " I' r t Trc-!3 A Prdgrem The Triple-A Program is the Agri cultural Conservation Program, and E. Y. Floyd, AAA Executive Office of N. C. State College, flays "Conser vation" is the most important word in the titfe. With this in mind, he announces an important improvement in the urogram, effective in 1941. "General soil-depleting allotments have been discontinued and payments wiffl be based on the amount of soil building a farmer does," Floyd stat ed. "In other words, the farmer who earns all soil-building units will earn "his maximum payment for planting within special allotments, such as to bacco, cotton, peanuts and commer cial wheat, potatoes, and vegetables in designated commercial counties; the farmer who fails -o meet his soil building goal will have his conserva tion payments reduced in the same proportion by which he fails to meet his soil-building goal." Ihe 1941 AAA Program in North Carolina will be more than ever a conservation program. By not es tablishing a general (total) soil depleting allotment for a farm, it will mean that only special alotment crops and practices will have to be measured. This will make the pro gram more adaptable for all farms in the state and encourage the produc . tion of added food and feed crops to - take care of the people and the live stock on the farm and by not having 'if to measure depleting crops except special allotments should greatly re duce the cost of compliance. Here, in simple language, is the way Floyd explains" the new plan. "We will say that Farmer Jones had set up for his farm a total farm payment of $100, made up of $50 for planting within special allotment crops and $50 to be earned for carry ing out practices, such as seeding legumes and grasses, winter cover crops and green manure crops, ter racing, contour stripcropping, fores try practices, home gandeninjr, appli cation of liming materials, and the like. "If Farmer Jones only carried out enough soil-building practices to earn $40 of his soil-building allowance, then he would only get $40 of his special allotment payments, giving Farmer Jones, a final total payment of $80 instead of $100. That's be cause he earned only 80 percent of hid soil-building goal. Of course, if hf carried out enough practices o, re ceive his entire $50 Soil-buidingal-loWance, then he would receive his full $50 for planting within Bpecial crop allotments. That would give him his maximum farm payment of $100." If a farm grows no special crops, such as tobacco, cotton, etc., then it receoves all the payments earned for carrying out soil-building practices up to the maximum goal. The mini mum payment which any farm can earn remains unchanged at $20. Also, an additional payment of $15 may be earned by any farm for planting forest trees, making e total of $35 that can be earned by any farm. Now, here is another phase of the new plan whidi Hoyd stressed. The portion of the special allotment pay ments which farmers have failed to earn by not carrying out their full soil-building allowance will be used to defray the administrative expense ; of the program in the county. This will mean that the farmers who com ply with their AAA f rogram in every respect may profit in a small way from the producers who fail to earn a part of their special allot ment payments by not carrying out their full requirement in. soil-building practices. The above described plan was out lined and recommended by leading farmers and committeemen for the 1940 Program. However, arrange ments could not be worked out to in corporate the plan until 1941. In conclusion, Floyd said: "We are certain that this change will increase the benefits to be derived from the Agricultural Conservation Program, It means that farmers will have an incentive to carry out more soil- building practices and hereby im prove their land and grow adequate food and feed crops for the people and the livestock on the farm. In 1989 the stated earned 79.5 percent of its soil-building allowance. In 1940 it is estimated that we will - earn 79.1 percent of the soil-building pay ment. With this new plan, producers should earn at least 95 percent of their payments in 1941." Birthday Party Given At Home Of Mrs. R. 1 Perry Monday Night Mrs. R. A.

HUGO S. SIMS POLITICS AS USUAL WILLKIE'S CAMPAIGN DANGER IN FAR EAST U. S. MUST ACT F. D. R. ANSWERS AXIS BASES EVERYWHERE DEFENSE UNDERWAY The political campaign has about reached the stage where one can ex pect to hear anything. Ill-advised partisans will .say tfifcigs and do things wilJcV sh6uldrl; left unsaid and undone. Nevertheless, every campaign is marred by unfortunate incidents, but very rarely do they exercise any gieat influence upon the outcome of the election. Americans generally, without reJ ard to party lines, disapprove the throwing of potatoes, tomatoes and other objects at candidates. They re gret that some opponents of Mr, Willkie have seen fit to stoop to these tactics. Certainly, they have not in jured the Republican nominee, and if their acts have any influence at all, the net result would be favorable to Mr. Willkie. While the concensus of polls indi cates that the President has a leai at this time, the campaign will wax serious between now and Novembe 5. Both sides will present reasons to explain s u d d en 1 y increased strength and the election, in spite of the polls, will remain uncertain until the votes are counted. Mr. Willkie has waged a strenuous campaign. Despite his endorsement of many New Deal policies - and his general agreement with the Presi dent's foreign policy, the Republican nominee has attempted to convince the voters that he represents a dif eient philosophy in domestic affairs rid is best equipped to handle the foreign problems which confront this country. How effective his campaign has been is a matter of doubt, with opinions being determined largely by political affiliations. The situation confronting the United States in the Far East will not stand still. The Japanese may be depended upon to continue then steady encroachment upon the rights of other nations. This will compel the United States to determine upon the policy to be followed, whether to sit idle and stand upon protests already penned: or to implement oui objections to Japan's "new order" by action designed to p r e v e n t its success. ' .'. The re-opening of the Burma Road last week ' produced no immediate repercussions, but there is no indica tion whatever that the Japanese have abandoned their program. Faced with this ' fact, the United 'States must acquiesce or take some steps which will effectively, salt the Jap anese advance. - Embargoes upon the" shipment of planes, aviation gasoline and - scrap metals do not exhaust the possibili ties to be found in economic weapons, Prohibition of, all exports ' to Japan ana a nan upon ail miporta i not be yond early expectation. . In , fact, there fit considerable oxfldar opinion in favor of this drastic embargo. .The highly-advertised, pact between Tokyo Rome and Berlin, which was desi,T--i to frigfcteu , the . United Ctx' i, hat absolutely failed of its xmr -ta. ' The ' President' recent r- 4 affh-med in a very positive LOOKING AT WASHINGTON By of materials to "Great Britain, but there is no indication that this will result. Rather, the United States will redouble its assistance to the British, and at the same time, pre pare itself for any eventuality In the Far st. President Roosevelt, In his Day ton address, reaffirmed his foreign poliiV, which, in the- main, has been endorsed by Mr. Willkie. This was effective notice to the totalitarian powers that the election jiext month would not alter the basic policy of this country. Moreover it Berved to reassure South American i countries and to convince them that the United States is serious in its announced in tention of protecting this hemisphere against aggression. Constituting the American answer to the three-powei pact, the President's Bpeech plainly confronted the Axis group with the failure of their attempt to block the United States. Meanwhile, the nation proceeds to develop its defense policies. The probability is that air and naval bas es will be made available in the Pacific and that certain South A merican countries will welcome the construction of satisfactory bases in their strategic areas. Emphasis should be given to the announced policy of this country that the air and naval bases, secured from Great Britain and constructed by this country in South America, will be available to all the nations of this hemisphere. Naturally, the United States will Lhave to bear the expense of this Jevelopment, but, before the year is cut, there is every indication that plans will have been completed to give us a string of bases in both oceans which will practically insure the safety of this hemisphere as soon as our two ocean navy is completed. The registration of millions of young Americans was carried out last week without a hitch. In fact, public opinion in this country strong ly supports the Selective Service Training Act. Even the young men who registered feel that, if they must serve in the armed forces of this Republic, it is necessary for them to have proper training. Ac ceptance of conscription in time of peace is an indication of, the dis tance that public opinion has traveled in this country in the past year. , While the nation continues to de sire peace and hopeB to maintain peace, there's no mistaking the fact that, as a nation, we are preparing to defend ourselves from an attack which is regarded as inevitable un less Germany and Italy are defeated in Europe and Japan is checked In the Par East. Under the impact of the European War, the policy of official neutrality has entirely vanished. The United States is frankly interested in the successful defense of Great Britain and will take practically any step that is necessary to insure survival of the British Fleet. Isolation sen timent, which was so strong in recent years, has dwindled rapidly. In fact, the threat in the Japanese adherence to the European Axis has had a profound effect on the West ,Coast, which was not influenced to any great extent by the outbreak of war in Europe. The national defense program is about to. enter a period whicjf will almost appear to be non-productive. With most of the necessary legisla tion out of the way and contracts for defense items let, the job becomes an industrial task. Because of. the necessity for plant expansion and the acquisition of machine tools, the production of many defense .items will be slow. This is inevitable) but the nation can afford to delay be IE SAFEI-SJ7E CC aMSt ON THtM 1 'ismti ran m wmum l. a ihih.

In addition, the delivery of planes will be stepped up and jt is, suggest ed that, possibly, some lighting planes may be sent to the Chinese. In other words, the nation is get ting set to extend assistance to Great Britain and China on the theory that these nations are fighting the potential foes of the United States. Recognition of the import of the pact between Germany, Italy and Japan, with its thinly veiled threat against the United States re moves all doubt as to the wisdom of this policy. When the election Is out of the way, regardless of who wins, Ameri can assistance to the fighting nations will be increased. CHAPANOKE CLUB MEETS WITH MRS. C. P.
