Will Pay Farmers For
Trees And Terraces
The planting of forest trees and :
the construction of terraces, if earri
ed out to meet specified require
ments, are included in the list of
practices which will qualify cooper
ating producers in North Carolina
for soil building payments under the
Agricultural Conservation Program, !
according to J. F. Crismell of the
State College.
For planting forest trees in 1936
on cropland or noncrop pasture land
between January 1, 1936, and Octo
ber 31, 1936, the rate of payment is
•$5 per acre.
‘For terracing cropland between
January 1, 1936 and Oct. 31, 1936,
with properly constructed terrace
sufficient to give adequate protection |
against erosion, the payment is 40
cent per 100 feet of such terrace up (
to a total payment per acre not to t
•exceed $2.
Although the above specified rates
■have been approved for soil building 1
practices, there is a soil building ai j
Jowance, or top limit for the soil
building payment. This top limit is
calculated for any farm by multiply- '
iug by $1 the number of acres of
soil conserving crops on the farm in \
1936, except that if this acreage is
less than 10 acres the soil building
allowance is $10. For example, on a
tiinn with 60 acres in soil building
•crops in 19936, the soil building al
lowance would be $60. The farmer
■would earn part or all of the $Go
depending upon the amount to
which he would he entiled for ter
racing and planting forest trees,
or carrying out other approved soil
building practices on his farm in
1936.

Settled By An Authority
By IRVIN S. COBB
IN A rural district in Indiana is a general practitioner of medicine
wKo covers up a wide and comprehensive range of ignorance under
an impressive front. Among the natives he passes for a veritable
fount of wisdom.
One evening he walked into the country store and the store-keeper,
addressing the congregated loafers about the stove, said:
“Now we can find out about it.” He turned to the newcomer.
“Say, Doc,” he said, “there’s a question come up that we want
you to settle. I been readin’ in the paper here about this here new
bovine virus that them foreign doctors is usin’ now. Just what is bovine
virus, anyhow?”
The oracle scarcely hesitated.
“Bovine virus,” he said, in his most oratorical manner, “derives
its name from the man that discovered it—the eminent French scientist.
Dr. George W. Bovine.” .
“There now," said the store-keeper facing the audience, "I told
.you the Doc would know if anybody did."

HOEY DOES NOT
DENY BEING OLD
FASHIONED
Raleigh. .Tune 3—Clyde Hoey does
not deny the “Charge" of his ojs
ponents that in some respects he is
a hit “old fashioned."
“No. 1 will not make any special
denial of it.” said the tall, lean can
didate for the Democratic nomina
tion, grinning as he read that one of
his opponents liad called him. “Ac
< ording to some definitions. 1 proba- |
bly am.
"If I may he so classed because I i
have tried with some success to car
ry the ideals of youth into mature
manhood, I am old fashioned.
“If an increasing appreciation of
womanhood, with all its finer ac
complishments in this Suite, is old
lashioned, then I am old fashioned,
then I ant to be so classified.
“If to be sincerely interested in
childhood, and to believe that the
education of our children is the su
preme concern of the State, is to he
old fashioned. I am guilty as charg- (
cd.
"li it is to lie old fashioned to be ■
interested in our old people, and to '
believe that North Carolina. should
join with the Federal government in
providing for their security, then j
that is what I am.
“And 1 am even old fashioned o
nongh that we can do something to
ward reforming the young men and
women in our prisons, to believe in
extending mother's aid. to believe in
charity and other things that some
of our hard young realists call old
lashioned sentiment.
“Why, I'm even worse than that. I
am so old fashioned that I believe a
State should live within its income
and not spend more than it collects
in taxes. I belong to the old fashion
ed democracy that believes in pay-j
ins: for what you get—not trying to ]
dump all tlie btmfen on somebody i
else.
i'm old fashioned enough to pay
my taxes and to vote the Democra !
tic ticket every time.
“Finally—and this makes it worse
than everything else-—I am so old
fashioned that 1 believe in telling
the truth. I wouldn't deny votes I
had cast, 1 wouldn t try to cover up ;
acts with ambiguous, false state
ments. Why, I'm such an old fash
ioned candidate that I would't make
a political promise that I knew could
not lie fulfilled, even to get the
votes for which some of our new
fashioned candidates will promise
anything.
“And so they say I am old fashion
ed? Well, come to think of It. may
be they are right."
