While President Rooseveit con 1 tinues to have the superior position ' insofar as it is reflected by the con ; census of polls, there is no way to tell whether any groundswell exists in favor of either candidate. The jLradio addresses and the newspaper t-f fofadlines give us the highlights of J political activity, but they do not i; plumb popular feeling. $: It is impossible to know, for ex i amDle. iust how effective the speech es of Mr. Willkie have been. Wheth r .thev have convinced millions of Americans that his election is neces (' sary is an unknown factor that will not clear up until after the voting. In much the same way, there is no i accurate method of determining I-whether the President has managed to retain the immense popularity that V swept him into office in 1932 jtnd i 1986. This unknown, likewise, "will remain uncertain until after the voting. Republicans generally hailed with . glee the announcement that Presi jfdent Roosevelt would make a series "of political speeches, asserting that V .the President recognized the drift to f Willkie and found it necessary to take measures to offset the drive of ithe Republican candidate. Democra tic supporters, on the other hand, re r lied upon the statement . that the President v followed an early an ' nouncement and that his action was designed only to answer systematic And. deliberate "falsification of facts" that have appeared in the 1 campaign. s. As the campaign comes to a close, J there is hardly any way for the non partisan observer to predict the re ' suit with any positive assurance. While the present odds continue to ''favor the President's re-election, the Xlmong certain elements of our popu flatten, affected by the European War situation, may exert considera ble influence upon the outcome. LfT.nn miniitA rennrt.a from nnlitical ytbservers in the fields usually reflect the views of the reporters. This is fche case with newspaper writers whose reports are usually in Qine with' the editorial opinions of the 'newspaper they represent. This is the case with political workers, es pecially so far as any public pro nouncement is concerned. - Of course, inside reports that are kept confidential may differ, but few Americans are naive enough to ex pect any politician to admit that his "opponent has chance. Before this Column appears again, the election will be over and the people of the United States will know who will be their Chief Executive next January. lJn spite of the recriminations mMi have marked the campaign and U1Q IWLWlllHL WilJUl llOO W1UUUUK.U- Oy been aroused,, there is no reason to suspect that permanent injury has been done to the American Republic.

The general situation in the Far East apparently reflects Japanese apprehension over American rearms ment and something like consterna tion over possible counter stroke which might be taken if Japanese militarism advances in the South Pacific. While it is possible that the ruling group in Japan may be unable to accept a policy of retreat and .thus abandon their extremist ex pansionist plan, the military and naval factors involved seem to de mand caution in Tokyo. With the bulk of the Japanese Army fired in its three-year-old war in China, the Japanese nation is hard ly in a position to challenge the United States, much less a possible combination of Western nations. Reports from Hongkong disclose that necessary spare parts for American submarines have been shipped to the British port for storage against possible use. Officials, in this coun try, we understand, declare that Hongkong represents practically the only safe place of storage and that no particular significance attaches to the shipment of spare parts which was made several months ago. Just the same, experts point out that a fjeet of submarines, based on Hong kong, might be able to interrupt the Japanese supply line to phina and possibly cut off the source of sup plies from Japan upon which She Japanese Army of invasion depends. There is some reason to believe mat Japanese oiticials, in joining hands with Germany and Italy, were resorting to a desperate bluff in the hope that the United States, would become alarmed and abandon resis tance to Japan's New Order in the Far East. The reaction in the United States was strong enough to convince Japanese that there would be no appeasement and, consequently, the outcome of developments in the Pacific would depend almost entirely upon the future action of Japan. The Japanese know that their Muff has been called. The only consolation that they have managed to get so far is the suspicion, that, perhaps, the United States may be bluffing. This conclusion rests upon the dan gerous premise that, upon no condi tion, would the United 'States invite a war with Japan. tended preaching services at Wood ville Church Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. L. F.

Hillside Test Shows Value Of Cover Crop Beer Industry Still Winter is approaching and that means the loss of soil on farms where the land is not protected with a cover crop. To prove to farmers the value of a winter cover crop in soil and waiter conservation, a num ber of county farm agents- of the State College Extension Service are cooperating with other agencies in conducting hillside tests to accurate ly measure the loss of soil and plant "gjfood as a result of erosion. One such test is beii.ir conducted in Franklin County, on the farm of H. F. Fuller of Louisburg, Route 1. A recent Farm Tour, held coopera tively by the Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service, Farm Security Administration and other agencies, showed the following results, ac cording to Farm Agent W. C. Boyce. In two plots where cotton and com have been grown continuously since 1937, with no winter cover crop, the silt boxes at he bottom of the hill collected 44 tons of soil per acre per year. In another plot, where lespedeza has been grown con tinuously, no soil was lost during the same period- In two other plots, where corn and cotton have been grown, and crimson clover used as a winter crop, the annual loss of soil per acre from the 7 percent slope was 38 tons. But where a four-year rotation of cotton, corn and barley was planted, with lespedeza, crimson clover and barley as winter cover crops, the annual loss of soil per acre was only 7 tons. Boyce also reported that in 1939 the com yielded 31 bushels per acre on the plot where corn has been grown continuously, 51 bushels per acre where it . was grown in a two year rotation, and 53 bushels per acre where it was grown in a four year rotation. In 1940, barley grown in the four-year rotation yielded 55 bushels per acre. Continues Clean up Campaign In State Continuation of the beer industry's nationally acclaimed self-regulation "clean up or close up" campaign in North Carolina by the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee for another 12-month period has been authorized by the United Brewers Industrial Founda tion, the sponsoring organization. The action followed a progress re port to the directors and member ship of the foundation at its annual meeting in St. Louis last week by Edgar H. Ba'n of GoL'.s'o:o, state director in charge of the North Car olina program. The foundat;cr., sponsor of similar programs in 13 other states, was told of the progress of the action campaign of D rector Bain's commit tee to protect for citizen of North Carolina the social, temperate and economic benefits of the state's $10,500,000 legal beer industry. I , The report cited that .132 objec tionable beer dealers in North Caro lina had been forced out of the retail beer business as a result of the "clean up or close up" campaign. The purpose of the Foundation is to bring a greater public knowledge of the social and economic aspects of beer and brewing and a correct inter pretation of the industry's activities. The Foundation's research shows that beer contributes more than a million dollars a day in public re venueshas contributed two and a nau billion dollars in seven and a half - years since re-legalization; Ihas distributed general business - benefits totaling more than twelve billion dollars through the retail sale of beer in all 48 states; and now gives employment to more than . a million persons in all branches of the brew ing? and allied, industries.
