T 1 Tins ntlsiNESSV Y 8USAM.THAYI 1 v J C if God HAS Blessed America If you were standing . somewhere outside thf world and were told you could choose any country on earth to live in, which one would you, as a woman, pick? Where would you find the greatest amount of personal freedom for yourself . . . the widest range of opportunities for your chil dren . . . the highest standard of living for your family and the most recognition for you as an individual ! The answer is not hard to guess. You would choose America! Every thing about this big, new country has combined to make it serve the indi vidual in his or her "pursuit of hap piness." Its vast wealth ... its va riety of climate . . . and above all, its form of government "of the peo ple, by the people and for the peo ple" makes this the best country in the world for women. The state, in our democracy, exists for the sake of the individual and noi the individual for the sake of the state, as in a totalitarian country. The result is a nation of independent, hopeful, ambitious, fearless men and women and rosy children who look forward to a life of the kind they choose to live. And perhaps that is the most im portant thing about America in these fearful days. If your son wants to go into business, he may do so. If he wants to be an electrical engineer that, too, is all right. But in a to talitarian country all boys must be fitted into the same pattern. If you have a short wave radio set you anil your friends can listen to pro r.v.i from all over the world. In dictator ridden countries they must listen only to the programs approved by the state. You read what you please arm can get hold of. You say what jvu please, "right out in meetin' " if yo'i have the courage to stand up in front of your club or your school or Sun day School. In dictator countries you may be arrested for the things you say, even to members of your own family in the privacy of you. own home. You can go to church st you like and to what ever church you choose. V1 totalitarian states reli gious freedom is a thing of the past.

"tor-- nr y-, f-awmwmam Joe & Bill's Service Station "Where Service i V Pleaaiire" ROAP AND WRECKING SERVICE HERTFORD, N. C , in ram uroi Raleigh, March 12. -North Caro lina now holds the rank ojt Numbei One sweet potato producing state in the Nation, W. T. Wesson, junia. statistician of the State Department of Agriculture, said today. "Farmers achieved first place in sweet potato production despite the fact that the 1940 crop of 7,104,000 bushes was the smallest since 1936 and more than 21 per cent under the 1939 crop of 8,674,000," he added. "The 1940 acreage was reduced by four per cent compared with 1939 while the per acre yield last year of 96 bushels was 16 bushels under 1939." He explained that "normally, 5o per cent of the State's sweet potato crop is used on the farm, 33 per cert is sold and the remaining 12 per cent is used for other purposes." Growers during the five-year (1934-1939) period, sold an average of 2,722,000 bushels of sweet potatoes a year and consumed 4,630,000 bush els a year in the farm nousehola, while the average gross income over the same period was $5,228,000 per year. "The sweet potato is strictly a southern crop and in North Carolina is grown primarily in the eastern counties, where the light soil is besl suited for production," Wesson add ed. The counties leading production are: Columbus, Johnston, Davidson, Duplin, Sampson, and Robeson. "The value of the State's 1940 sweet potato crop was estimated at $5,328,000, or five per cent less than the value of the 1939 crop of $5,606, 000. North Carolina farmers re ceived an average price of 75 cents per bushel last year compared with the 1939 price of 65 cents per bushel. The decline in value of last year's crop is accounted for by the produc tion decline in 1940 compared with 1939. "For the United States, the 1940 production was estimated at 61,998, 000 bushel s or about 17 per ceni smaller than the 1939 production of 72,679,000 bushels. Last year's de cline in production resulted from a smaller acreage harvested in 1940, accompanied by reduced yields in many of the sweet potato producing states."

Put Farm Machinery In Shape, Says Weaver Occasional bright sunshiny days remind farmers' that spring and the 1941 cropping season will soon be here. D. IS. Weaver, head of the agricultural engineering department at State College, says now is the time to get the farm machinery needed for spring and summer work in good shape. Waiting until the machine is need ed is very poor business, he states. It takes a little while to order and obtain repair parts, and, consequent ly, this job can best be done at this season before the rush begins. Weaver says every good farmei has a shop where minor repairs to plows, combines, tractors, and other equipment can be accomplished quickly and economically. With the number of blacksmith shops in the communities diminishing, it is more and more important that the farmer make his repairs in his own farm shop. The coming of electricity into ru ral areas through cooperative lines not only provides light for dark winter days, but furnishes a source of power for such operations as saw ing, drilling, and grinding. The State College engineer reports that numerous farmers make an in ventory of needed repairs to ma chinery at this season. They line up their equipment and go over it, piece by piece, with a memorandum pad and pencil in hand. Each work ing part is examined for breakage, damage, and need of sharpening. After a list of all the repairs has been made, it is easy to check those which require the purchase of new parts, and to begin actual work on those that can be repaired in the farm shop. "The efficiency of a farmer," de clared Weaver, "is largely determin ed by the quality of tools he uses. Blunt-edged tools cannot result in quality work or efficient use of labor."
