(Monday is election day for residents
of the Town of Hertford, and with
nine candidates seeking the five of
fices to be filled by the election, it be
hooves each eligible voter to cast t
ballot for the candidates of his choice.
The town's government, is every
body's business, so everybody should
be sufficiently interested to vote Mon
day and have a hand dn electing the
official town board for ths next four
vears. .- , .

from 6.-30 IA. IM., until 6:30 T, Jtt.,
fording every voter an opportunity to
take a few minutes during the day to
cast his ballot
The Mess Is Muddled
The first public reaction to the fir
ing of General Douglas MacArthur
has subsided but the public can rest
assured that the (press and radio wul
be filled with choice tidbits concern
insr the involuntary retirement for
some days to come.
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.

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

Not A Good Sign
i 1 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

famine' to make the people of this
