;. V' TUB' T , IT? A SMAUXB WOlLD , Not very many years ago, farm family wu a pretty Isolate and elf-contained unit of civiliza tion. The problenu of that family. ana uwsoiuuon of those prob lem, were fair- ly well confined within the fencea-of the farm itself. That has been changed by modern Inven tion!!. First came the automobile. Kyes with its traveling companion, the hard-surfaced road. That made the farmer a better and closer neighbor. It became an hour's trip to town and-back, instead of a whole clay's journey. Then along came the RFD, which brought the farmer his mail, and his daily paper, right to his front gate every day. He began to know what was happening, not only In the county seat, but in the nation and the world. And finally the radio arrived, with the effect of making the whole world a group of neighbors. There was a time when there could be a war in China, and we wouldn't know a thinsr about It for fcx months. "And every school boj) knows that the battle, of New Or team was won by "Old Hickory" several weeks after the warwse over and peace declared! .That can never happen again Wetmow about battles la Europe, or torpedoes In the Indian Ocean)! actually while they are taking place. Truly, it's a smaller, more intimate world. The benefits we have all enjoyed from modern transportation and modem communication must not be regarded as one-way tickets to better fuller living. If we have more neighbors, we must have more neighborliness. A drought, or a war, on the oth er side of the world, which used to seem a million miles away, now takes place, so far as effect is con cerned, in our own yards. We have become a part of the world. Per haps we still live off the main highway, but our individual farm, large or small, is itself a part of the world, with a full share of re sponsibility toward the millions of neighbors we now have. We can no longer tell ourselves "Let those foreigners settle their own affairs; Se got troubles of my own." That doesn't work ai y more. Look at the present worll-wKe struggle If you want a cie h.'--tory. We didn't make the w; . ; perhaps we didn't contrive i. single factor to its um'oi causes. Definitely, it's not our v. r .-. We don't want to be in it at e' . But we feel the effects c: it, whether we like it or not. If yu need any further evidence Val v. j have a responsibiUty in tJiis w-.r, just think of what your t:r: fc t will be next year, and for a.l ti.2 years to come. We are neighbors of the v.v--b world. We kve to be neib' Cows Help Increase Total Farm Income The farmer who keeps five to ten cows and pays strict attention to their feeding, breeding, and manage ment knows the meaning of balanced farming and permanent security, ac cording to Fred M. Haig, professor of animal husbandry and dairying at N. C. State College. Within less than 50 years, the pro duction and utilization of milk have so increased that today the United States is the greatest of the dairy nations. Around. 25,000,000 cows are milked daily on three-quarters of the country's 6,000,000 farms. Although dairying has made steady progress in North Carolina, especially during the past 16 years, there are still far too- many farms not owning a single dairy cow. This is especially true of cotton and to bacco farms, Haig said. The State College professor said he doesn't advocate getting rid of tobacco and cotton on most farms but that he does advise strongly the ad dition of a few cows as a sideline to the cash crop income. On thousands of these farms, he pointed out, sufficient feed for five to ten cows could be raised without interfering with the production of the regular cash crops. He also explained that the dairy industry is closely related to the maintenance of soil fertility, and the farmer must consider this an indi rect profit. In other words, the Ii7e' stock farmer gives back much of what he takes from the land. Then, ; too,, he anchors the soil. Valuable top soil does not wash or blow off in dust from hillsides where grass is v green and cattle 'graze. " J j'C Early Canning .

Pearson Hobson sunk the Merrimae In the harbor of Santiago de Cuba in an attempt to bottle up Cervera's Spanish fleet, the handful of United States Navy heroes aboard the Merrimae were pitched into Morro Castle , prison. - Their Spanish captors dug up a couple of old. sets of boxing gloves for the U. S. seamen, indicating that even years ago the reputation of Uncle Sams fighting Navy men was recognized the world over. Today, under the direction of Lieu tenant Commander Gene (retired heavyweight champ) Tunney, U. 5. N. R., and hundreds of other seasoned coaches, leather pushing continues .to top all Navy sports in popularity on shipboard. With the addition of thousands of new recruits for our new "Two Ocean" Navy, the old game of swat and duck is destined to turn out some new champions in addition to whip ping our sailors into keen fighting condition. In the past the Navy has turned out a great array of champions and near champions. Outstanding Navy fighters whose early Navy training pointed the way to the big time in later civilian life 'include such names as Jack and Tom Sharkey, Gunboat Smith, Sailor Burke, Yankee Sullivan, George Gunther, Frank Moran, Sam my Robideau, Charley Grande, Billie Walters, Denny Tighe, Eddie Roberts, Sammy Whalen, Heinie Orchard, Frankie Kirk, Sailor Leo Lomski, Honey Boy Finnegan, Joe Fisher, Eddie Huffman, Eddie and Billie Shevlin, Sammy Truikle, Young Sail or Boy Dencio, Danny Duarte and a host of others not to mention the Navy Marine Corps' Gene Tunney and George LaBlanche! Some of you old timers may re member LaBlanche as the punching sailor of 1890 who flattened the orig inal Jack Dempsey, then middle weight champion of the world, in the 32nd round of a fight that had been all Dempsey's for 31 rounds. Others of you may recall colorful ringster Sailor Billy Jordan wno started his boxing career as a mid dleweight on the U. S. S. Hartfora. Billy in his later announcing days was the one who named Stanley Ketchel the Michigan Assasin and Joe Gans the Old Master. The names stuck and when old "Sailor Jordan passed away one of the Navy's pio neer boxers and one of ringdom's favorites was lost to the boxing game. xoaay in tne .Navy Doxing is a steadily growing sport- Inter-ship and inter-division competition is keen. Practically every ship in the U. S. Fleet has its stable of boxers and from our fleet may come the man who will beat Joe Louis. necenuy eniistea protessionals in clude Steve Belloise, Georgie Abrams and Cal Cagni. All three have join ed the Naval Reserve ' and are sta tioned at Jacksonville, Florida. One of the most versatile Navy leather pushers at the present time is young Bud Adams, present All Navy champion in the middleweight division. In addition to his boxing prowess Bud is also the present mid dleweight and lightheavyweight wres tler on the Mississippi, the ship on which he serves. Adams handles the Mississippi boxing stable and has made quite a name for himself as a coach. All Navy bouts are run according to A. A. U. rules as to time of bouts and weights. Selections of fights between divisions are made according to Golden Gloves arrangement. Prizes are offered to individual champions and to winning division. One of the Dest chances tor any youngster to shdw his stuff is in the U. S. Navy roped squares. It is our private opinion that if the Navy lads were to put on the gloves with the aver age fighter appearing in professional club bouts, the sailors would carry off most of the honors. All told, we have a world of respect for the training and opportunities of fered by the U. S. Navy and recom mend that every patriotic young man give thought to this branch of our armed forces as his means of serving his country and protecting his future.
