Road Needs Fixing During the short space of time from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening four accidents occurred on U. S. Highway 17 between Hertford and the Perquimans County line. A definite conclusion can be drawn as to the cause of one of these acci dents, but to date, no cause has been advanced for the other three. Although weather conditions were bad, and possibly the drivers of the three cars damaged were at fault, the idea has been spread that the condition of U. S. 17 might have accidents. something to do with causing the As most motorists who travel the road much know, there is a danger ous gap between the two lanes of ce ment that makes the roadway. These lanes were constructed at different times and evidently contraction of the surface caused this gap between the two strips of cement, thus a haz ard is there. The Weekly does not claim this hazard caused -the above accidents, but it does contend that the situa tion exists and as long as it remains thus, there are possibilities of acci dents being caused by the condition. Certainly the road needs fixing, and the sooner the better. One-fourth Get One-eleventh The farmers of the nation are sup posed to be shouting' their satisfae tion over the increased income for agriculture, indicated by preliminary estimates for 1941. The cold facts of the financial sit uation of farmers, as a class, how ever, do not warrant any premature congratulations. A glance at the population figures of the nation show just where the farmers stand in the matter of income. In 1940 the farm population of the nation consisted of 32,000,000 per sons, or about one-fourth of the na tion's population. . Present estimates are that this one-fourth of the popu lation will receive less than nine per cent of the national income for the year 1941. The plight of agriculture is appar ent when we reflect that one-fourth of the people of the nation receive less than one-eleventh of the national income. This is reason enough for a low standard of living, an inability to purchase manufactured goods and develop a stable, dependable agricul tural program without government aid. The drift of income has continued away from the farmer. In 1910-14, for example, the farmers of the na tion received 16 to 18 per cent of the national income. By 1929, the year of what has been called prosperity in the United States, the farmers re ceived only ten per cent of the na tional income. Now, twelve years later, despite all assistance farmers and their families receive less than 9 per cent of the national income. We have said before, and we be lieve it is true, that one of the basic causes of , the depression in the United States was -the disparity;, in income' of agriculture, as compared with other activities. Naturally, the farmers, if they get less than their shftre of the national income, are un able to purchase the products of in dustry. " Prosperity in the United States requires a constant interchange of manufactured goods flowing to the farms, and agricultural products, flowing to the industrial areas. Let any disproportionate division of in come destroy the balance that pro motes this exchange and the wheels of Commerce in the United States slow down.

Yet, the recom mendation is a questionable one. As to the Guard units and reserve officers the request is not unfair, since the men in these branches of the service have known from their first enrollment that they might be called upon in emergency and for the duration of the emergency. However, the selective service trainee is in a different position. He was chosen out of a large regis tration, among which there are thous ands of others equally eligible. He was given no choice as to whether he should serve. Throughout the discussions of the Draft Act and its early administration there was an implied promise that when the man had completed his year of training he would return to his peace-time occupation subject only to call as a reservist. It is important to morale at home and in camp that the Government should scrupulously keep faith with the men whom it has conscripted for service. If those specialists and technicians who are particularly needed in their units can be per suaded to volunteer, that is good. The counter-attractions to be consid ered illustrate anew that the rewards of sheltered jobs at home should not be allowed to outstrip those of service in the armed forces. fore, due to the increased growing space provided for the trees left. Many landowners fail to realize how easy it is to grow a crop of trees. If they did, when cutting their timber, they would make every effort to provide for new growth. In many instances they insist that all trees of merchantable size be cut. This is a short-sighted policy and is one which should never be used. Pulpmills which are members of the Southern Pulpwood Conservation As sociation are glad at all times to furnish landowners at no charge with the services of a technical for ester for the purpose of providing expert advice on harvesting timber for pulpwood. The Southern Pulpwood Conserva tion Association advises landowners to "Cut Timber Selectively and Pro tect It From Fires in Order to Benefit Yourself and Your Community."

Pulp Mills Urging Conservative Cutting The Southern Pulpwood Conserva tion Association, supported by the leading pulpmills throughout the South, urges landowners to use good judgement when cutting their own timber. If selling their timber, they should insist that seed trees at least are left. It is not enough to sell timber under a contract calling for the leaving of all trees under a cer tain size, since on areas where all trees are above the size specified, this practice results in clear cutting. It is obvious that clear cutting benefits no one. The tax base is de stroyed; the landowner, realizing that no further revenue from timber is to be derived for 25 to 30 years, takes no more interest in his land; and wood using industries are com pelled to look elsewhere for sources of timber. Better than clear cutting is the leaving of eight or ten healthy, well formed trees per acre for a source of seed. Seed trees should be at least 12 inchesjn. diameter at stump height Afer' a ndw growth of young pines lia'hecome established, th seed trees may be ut For this reason it is necessary that at least eight or ten seed trees per acre be left, as otherwise they wilTnot 'com prise a sufficient volume of mer chantable timber to sustain a com mercial operation. In all timber contracts calling for cutting to a cer tain diameter, there should he a clause specifying the leaving of seed trees. More desirable than either diame ter or seed tree cutting is selective cutting. The Southern- Pulpwood Conservation Association recom mends this method to all landowners.
