In fact, we are of the opinion that etrenuous efforts will be anade to keep this situation boiling so long as there remains an ounce of political bickering to be had from the mess which now has become muddled. The firing of MaclArrthur, simply i boiled down, was the1 action of boss firing a hired hand, who no longer worked as the boss ordered. That m itself, is an every day occurrence hap pening in both business and govern merit. : President Truman, in his nation wide radio address of last week, at tempted to'clearify the Anierican posi tion as it concerns the war in Korea, giving 'the American people an inside look at what part of the Government's foreign policy is working toward. The speech, in itself, left much to be explained, it is very possible, and the 'American people should realize the situation, our Government attempt ing to be the bulwark of the world against Communism can not and will not reveal all of its plans to either allies or enemies. 2200,000 a year. Nutritionists estimate that it takes two and a half acres of crop. land to provide a properly balanced diet for a single person find, therefore, the doctor says that the United States will arrive at A critical point in the next fifteen or twenty years. The world at large, of course, is in a worse eondi- aition than the United Elates but this is no consolation for .tile problem that, we face. The average American, including those who live in the rural sections, rarely stops to realize that the civili sation of the. world depends upon the top six inches of soil that lenable man kind to raise crops. To stand idly by while this precious land is washed into the rivers and ocean by our disregard ed rainfalls is carelessness of the worst type. Because of the latent dan ger, the Government has very wisely taken steps to encourage landowners to practice soil conservation and in telligent agriculturalists are more in terested than ever in saving their soil Cale White's land on the old stage road running through Woodville, and running ' thence along the said old Stage Road N. 4T degrees, E. 219 feet to the edge of the , New Hope Road; thence , along the New Hope Road S. 24 degrees, 30 feet, E. 672 feet to a small ditch; thence along this ditch in a southeasterly direction 251. feet to a stake; thence at right angles to ; said small ditch ; 10 feet more or less to the line of Cale White; thence alongfthe said Cale White line to' the place of beginning, containing ZVt acres more, or less, and being Tracj; No. 1, of the Alonzo Godfrey partition, , and being the same land conveyed to John T.

(Preliminary figures from the Cen sus Bureau indicate that the number of farms in the United 'States is grow ing smaller, which da not the sign of the prosperous agriculture necessary to the national well-being. Let nobody be fooled about these figures. They mean that the smaller farmers are being ground ' to pieces in the - battle of mechanization and high prices. It is not a good sign for the social welfare of the nation or North Carolina. There is a growing tendency in this day and generation to forget the fun damental importance of the farmer in the welfare of the nation. It is to be expected that metropolitan residents, unfamiliar with the conditions that! exist, get the idea that Ithe government ' is coddling American fanners but it is somewhat, tragic that some people, in places like Hertford, have develop ed the same opinion: . With soil, erosion cutting down the: number of fertile acres in this country, it is vitally important that we main tain a strong and properous agnoul- ture. It cannot be done if the people who grow our feeds, food and fibre are rto be relegated to an inferior eco nomic status. Moreover, one should not overlook the fact that agriculture today is an enterprise that requires capital and that it is no longer possi ble for anybody to make a living oufc of .the soil without intelligent train . ing and adequate equipment. ; v : It might take a few years of semi famine' to make the people of this NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Having qualified as Administrators of the estate of W.
