Advertising rat famished bj request FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1945 Time To Work For World Peace With Army and Navy casualties since Pearl Harbor climbing to the 900,000 mark, and with many thous ands to be added to the grim total before Germany and Japan are de feated, it would seem logical to ex pect the American people to support almost any plan that offered hope of avoiding a third world war. Just twenty-five years ago, on Mowi. ia 1920. the Senate of the United States voted finally on the question of whether or not to join the League of Nations. The vote was 49-to-35 in favor of joining, but since a two-thirds majority was re quired, the lack of seven votes kept this country out of the League and a system of collective security. The fight against the - League will probably be repeated. Certain Sen ators will fight any proposal for a world organization to keep the peace, regardless of its terms. They will not be interested in any system of collective security. They will use the same tactics employed against the League, finding fault with minor defects, insisting upon perfection and attempting to play upon the nation alistic prejudices of our citizens. Our war President of 1918, Wood row Wilson, went on record to pre dict "another world war" and it came almost according to schedule.

Woodhouse, Jr., associate agronomist of the Agricultural Experiment Sta tion at State College. "Farmers are particularly anxious to get the highest possible production from their permanent pastures dur ing these war years and there is no other one thing that will contribute more toward this goal than the pro per use of finely ground limestone," he explains. Lime is essentia) to the healthy growtli of legumes, the basis of any productive permanent pasture. Since the legumes are high in' protein and minerals, they produce a more nu-H tritious forage than do grasses alone. Also, the legumes provide nitrggen for the healthy growth of grasses. Lime has been found to increase the yield of permanent pastures by 25 per cent in some cases and as high as 200 per cent and more in others, according to Woodhouse. In corn- body else can predict today, with an , menting on the value of lime, he equal degree of certainty, a third world war unless the United States is willing to play its destined rqle in the affairs of the world. Having participated in two tre mendous world conflicts, it would seem logical for this nation to con tinue its interest in world affairs rather than retire into the shell of isolation and permit the other na tions to struggle futilely against problems until another war results. Then, as before, this country will find that its interests and its honor com pel it to take part in the titanic con flict. 4B3i It would be far wiser, it seems to us, to recognize the impossibility of remaining aloof from a world-wide conflict and, because of our stake, play an intelligent and leading role in the management of the world. Thus, we may at least have something to say and do something that might prevent another war. states that "lime had a more pro nounced effect upon the type of plants presnt in the pasture than it had upon yield. There was a five fold increase in desirable plants con tributing to the increased yield." In discussing the plant food re quirements of permanent pastures, hesaid that lime was not the only material needed. "Phosphate is al most always neded and potash is us ually beneficial," he explains. "Too often the value of liming is lost be cause the other necessary plant foods are not supplied. "Take this record for example: 1,253 pounds yield on the untreated plot; phosphate alone, 1,229 pounds; lime alone, 1,511 pounds; and lime and phosphate, 2,794 pounds." Beer Dealers Warned To Operate Places In Proper Manner Retail beer dealers of Perquimans County heard a frank discussion of proper operation of establishments at a meeting held in the Court House Friday afternoon, when Col. Edgar H. Bain of Goldsboro, state director of the North Carolina Committee United States Brewers' Foundation, minced no words in saying that his organization intended to do all 'in its power in the interest of decent re tailing of beer. Col. Bain likened retail beer oper ators to a bag of apples containing one rotten apple, which in course? of time would affect all of the apples in a bag if not removed. In such cases the "rotten apple" in beer establish ments will be removed, for he made it plain that if any place is not op erated as it should be, the supply of beer can very easily be cut off. Col. Bain said he regretted to hear retail beer establishments referred to as "beer joints." He said he was vit ally interested in them being called "beer parloreS-as they should be if properly operated. Since the meeting, Col. Bain has announced that county retail beer dealers have named an advisory committee to work with the North Carolina Committee - United States Brewers' Foundation. Good. Sense And Vigor Almost hour by hour the American people are making discoveries about their new President. Hour by hour the impression is building up that a firm, sure hand is at the helm. Mr. Truman's first press conference was a distinct triumph, evoking that rare thing, applause from newsmen. In manner it was direct but affable, in substance it combined good sense with vigor. Assistance Arranged For Returning Vets Agricultural advisory committees have been organized in each county in North Carolina to give assistance to returning war veterans, who are interested in obtaining aid in agri cultural problems, says R. W. Shof fner, in charge of Extension farm management at State College. "These committees are composed of progressive farmers representing all sections of each county," he ex plains. "Their function is to advise with veterans who come to them for assistance in selecting farms, getting wore a corsage of red roses.

C. ltp Any impression that the new Chief tarted in farming, in choosing the Executive would walk softly (with out carrying a big stick) was dis pelled by his prompt appointment of John W. Snyder to fill the post of Federal Loan Administrator and by the blunt policy declarations given out at the press conference. President Truman went down the line in support of Bretton Woods, re ciprocal trade agreements, and re gional development projects like TV A and the proposed MVA. He de nied the ban on horse racing and the night club curfew would be lifted. On anti-poll tax bills, the FEPC and other measures designed to improve the lot of the Negro, Mr. Truman re ferred to his voting record where he broke with the bulk of his South ern friends. Of course, the policy statements and the Snyder appointment simply follow lines on which Mr. Truman had long ago, formed his opinions. Even so, the manner of them reflects the atmosphere of decisiveness and confidence emanating f rom the White House. It is as though the Chief Executive were feeling the .support which comes from the Am erican people when they sense the Mm . .... , neeo ior unity ana are rightly ap pealed to. Keeping unity will Truman has not yet been required 'to sBow, But it is easy today to for get that when Franklin Roosevelt came to office he was not regarded best type of farming suited to the locality, and in becoming established in farming as a vocation. "The returning veteran should first contact the county agent, who is tiie secretary of the advisory committee in the county. The agent is in posi tion to give the veteran reliable in formation regarding the many prob lems which he will have to face. He can also direct him to those farmers who will be able to give him the most help in making wise decisions on the .problems as they arise. "The agricultural advisory com mittees for veterans is working close ly with the Agricultural Workers Council in each county and the re turning veteran will find all of these farm people and the representatives of all agricultural agencies in the county most anxious to give him all possible assistance." as a strong President, and it may be well to remember that he never be came a man on horseback.

Mr. State Should Eat More Sweet Potatoes "Although many foods are now scarce, sweet potatoes are still avail able in North Carolina, for we pro duced more than any other State in the nation last year," declared Agri culture Commissioner Kerr Scott re cently in urging housewives to "serve sweet potatoes and save sugar for canning." Scott said that sweet potatoes con tain as much vitamin C as tomato juice and half as much vitamin C as orange juice. "Sweet potatoes contain more vita min A than the best summer butter. We asked our farmers to produce more sweet potatoes last season, and they did it Housewives who pur chase their sweets now will not be caught without this important food later in the spring," said Scott. Farm Wages Average $3.20 Per Day In N. C Farm wage rates in North Caro lina this spring average $3.20 per day, 50 cents higher than the $2.70 paid farm laborer a year ago, the Statistics Division of the State De partment of Agriculture reports. The average for the nation this April is $4.12. Wage rates in South Carolina are $2.10, or $1.10 lower than in this State. The highest farm wages are being paid in Washington; where the aver age is $7.70 per day. Eight states have lower farm wage rates than those paid in North Carolina.
