AND HIS NEWS OF NEBO VALLEY
I had the good pleasure of read
ing a letter from S/gt. Wray
Stewart. He Is now on the Island
of Guam where the weather is
hot and the women are dirty
looking, slouchy too. Wray has
been promoted to Sgt, Good bay
you see, and the best of it all he
is from Kings Mountain where
we grow the most beautiful girls
in the world, but ugly men. The
same day I received a letter from
Miss Margaret Stegh in Here
ford, Germany. When Russia and
America divided up . Germany
Margaret lived with her mother
in the Russian Zone. Her mother
owned a home with live stock
and was making good before the
war, then the Russians took all
she had and made Margaret work
in a shop for nothing. She slipped
away, and went back to the A
merican Zone. Now she stays in
the American Zone. These people
are still having a tough time,
with everything so high. No
work hardly and none get over 24
hours a week'. And the winters
so much colder than we have,
an<* war - threat -
j# \ ening all the j

right now , but

D. Z. Newton, Atty. M6-m-9 '
these death dealing atom hells,
I don't know. Ask someone else.
The earth is the Lord's and the
fullness thereof.
Men have played hell on the
earth since Adam started rolling
the ball.
I was just wondering what the
Government did with all that
poison gas they made Just after
the first world war. They made
thousands of gallons to spray the
poor defenseless devils with, but
I .never knew of them using of
the firewater. Now if we could
spray Mr. Joo Stalin with home
of that fire water no more trou
ble with Joe would we have. If
Joe Stalin gets his Atom hell ov
er here first it will be Joe's good
luck to drop his Atom on our ci
ties. Well, we with Russia laid
flat Berlin and many other great j
cities. Are -we any better than
they. We are truly living in a j
dreaded age: We are working for
the Devil, and left Christ out of I
the picture. All the nations that!
took up with the devil in past j
history have gone to destruction
and their mighty cities lay crum
bled in ruins. We have made fast
progress in the last 50 years, but
we have nearly reached the hei
ght of our glory. One day I fear
in the near future the Atom
Bomb will be permitted to rairi
death, hell and destruction on
our defenseless heads. This is not
God's will. We will it on oursel
ves. He permitted the destruction
of many cities In by-gone days.
He first gave them their choice.
He still warns His people of
these destructive forces. We are
head -long, rather kill than to
let Hve.
Theerare millions of Americans
who likfe me, do not believe we
should have gqne Into Korea.
There are other thousands who
like me, believe we Should now
come out of the battle-hell and
let them fight it out if it takes all
summer, tout of the worst should
happen and we are plunged Into
World War III, it is to be hoped
our Atom hell will cool off the
Russians and change, their re
ligion to a better faith In God,
and apan. Only one thing could
cast a grim shadow over our for
ces in that low land of despair in
Korea, and give Communists in
Asia and Europe renewed hope
for victory over our brave fight
ing men ? that would be the ov
er rising of disunity among our
American people. Joe Stalin is
hoping that We go broke by aid
ing all these oversea nations, and
he knows this will create discord
at home. He knows its possible
for us to spend and give away.
Look what Russia fooled us out
of in War No. Two. Right now
Joe would fool us into believing
he never built an Atom Bomb. I
guess Joe is an honest liar. Is he
a Republican or one of those De
mocrats like they have at Wash
ington?
It has begun to dawn by now
on President Truman and our
national administration that this
war in Korea may be more than
Just a local skirmish. We may ac
tually be at -war with Russia. Al
though tilings seems quiet, calm
and serene on the surface. Now
Congress seems willing to grant
Harry what he calls lor, be it 80
millions or 360 billion, with no
strings attached. One of the most
amazing effects of the new born
was in Korea is that the Intelli
gence Department of the United
States Government did not learn
of the preparations going on in
North Korea , or if it did President

Truman and his many advisers
ignored the reports until the in
vasion actually began. Then our
small forces of the army was
illy prepared with too few men'
and arms to cope with huge Rus
sion - 'built tanks that led the
heavy attack. War with our sol
diers hardly trained, freezing.
Like all other wars <00 much par
tisan politics in Washington. The
voters should not forget when
ft comes time to vote. Truman is
not worth the lives of our boys
that are being drove into the
jaws of hell, while men stay
home and accumulate millions ?
Blood money.
Mr. Truman, he's going to do
his best to stay in harness an
other four year stretch. Harry
will keep the job if he can, if
the voters will he can, tout will
the voters vote Harry back in.
Its so clear the Soviets plan
ned domination over the world.
They are trying to fool us every
way possible. Just before Christ
mas the people all over America
were made happy by the hope
that our bdys would be on their
way home by Christmas. Then
we were confronted with another
and totally different war of ag
gression. Communist China at
tacked our forces of the United
Nations, l'hen they invaded Sou
th Korea. The greatly out-numb
ered soldiers of the United Na
tions now fighting as valiantly
as have any soldiers in the hist
ory of the world and are forced to
retreat in ice and snow. No army
has ever fought with such cour
age. Still they have no business
over theie.
Since early last year Congress
has been discussing with Fran
ce and Britain what limitations
should be placed oa military for
ces recruited in Western Germa
ny. Why didn't Congress spend
that time encourage Western
Germany to raise an Army at
home? We, they, us do some
strange things. While we know
the time is approaching when
Russia will be ready to go to
war, then It will not be wise to
have army divided and scattered
all over ttie world. ' We should
concentrate our forces in Europe.
They claim they are fixing to
sfend a strong army to Europe.
They are too slow. Time is tick
ing away.
Now, in closing today's ses
sion with you kind folks, lets
hope Joe Stalin don't criticize
Miss Margaret's singing that will
start action between Joe and Tru
man. Smll things have started a
four-year war. War we dont
want? only on high prices. They
now call a dime the Truman dol
lar and in Wasrington you have
to drop two in a phone box to call
the wrong number. What lit
scratch are we coming too.
The steak we've been getting
for a dollar and a dime. Where
in the heckfire do it come from?
Is it imported from China, or ex
ported froh* Russia? Wonderful
tough stuff.

N. C. Insurance
Benefits Higher
| North Carolina families receiv
ed $23,355,000 in life insurance
| death benefit payments during
1950, compared with $23,238,000
in the previous year and $13,468,
000 in 1941. the last pre war year,
the Institute Life Insurance re
ports,
"The death benefit payments
in this state last year were made
under 24,351 policies, compared
with 26,354 . policies in the pre
vious year and 18.890 policies in
1941," the Institute reported. "Oi
the aggregate 1950 payments in
the state, $15,699,000 was under
5,805 ordinary policies; $3,439,
000 was under 1,949 group life in
surance policies; -and $4,217,000
was under 16,597 industrial insur
ance policies.
"These payments were $9,887,
000 greater than the correspond
ing payments in 1941, represent
ing increased funds for family
income, educational needs, mort
gage payment, retirement income
and other protection uses. In ad
dition, an even larger amount
was paid to living policyholders
by their life insurance compa
nies."
The national total of death
benefits paid last year was $1.
589,744,000 which compares with
$1,489,742,000 in 1949 and $1,009,
636,000 in 1941;
"The death benefits for .the na
tion as a whole were the greatest
on record" the Institute continu
ed. "This was in spite of the low- 1
est death rate among policyhold
ers ever experienced. The greatly
increased volume of life insur
ance owned accounted for the
greater benefit payments. Death
benefit payments last year were
73 percent greater than in pre
war 1941 and .the total amount of
life insurance in force was 87
percent greater.

Publication of "Measured Crop

The tests are conducted annu

State chosen to represent varia
tions in climate, soils, and prev
alence of insects. The purposes
are to determine which of the
commercially available varieties
and hybrids are most satisfactory
for use in various parts of North

MORE

COTTON
Sore shin or "Damping off"
is a touchy subject with many a
cotton grower. It is hard to
understand why your small
seedlings should partlv or com
pletely die soon after tney have
come up. And it seems strange
that this should happen in what
ought to be your better soils ?
the heavy soils and those rich
in organic content.
Because it happens most
often in cool, damp weather,
you may blame the bad weather
when sore shin attacks your
seedlings. Actually this is
caused by fungi or bacteria that
live in your soil, or in or on
your seed. Cold and ' moisture
cause these tungi to thrive at
your expense.
A change to warm, sunny
weather sometimes stops an
commercial production; and the
relative merits of commercially
available corn hybrids.
Corn hybrids, cotton, wheat,
oats, and barly were the crops
coveted in the tests, which were
conducted by H. L. Cooke, re
search instructor, State College;
C. D. Peedin, research assistant,
N. C. Crofc Improvement Associa
tion; and R. P. Moore, director in
charge of the Cio... improvement
Association.
Single copies of "Measured
Crop Performance" may be ob
tained from the local county a
gent or by writing the Agricul
tural Editor, State College Sta
tion, Raleigh. The publication is
issued as Bulletin No. 373 of the
Experiment Station.
By producting a litter of pure-!
bred Duroc pigs that weighed 2,
973 pounds at six months of age, j
John Sykes of Conway won first
place in the Gates- Hertford . Ber
ti ? Northampton Ton Litted Con
test for 1950.
In the Upper Piedmont, cotton
farmers are finding that aroma
tic tobacco provides additional
income without conflicting with j
cotton in labor requirements.
SOW SHIN or. "Domping -Off" of cot
ton can b? controlled
attack of sore shin. It's much
better, however, to prevent this
disease before you plant your
crop. Treatment of cotton Seed
with an organic mercury dis
infectant has' been proved to
stop most losses from sore shin
as well as losses from seed rot.
This treatment kills the disease
fungi on and in the seeds and
protects both seeds and seed
linns as they come up.
You can treat .your seeds
yourself, or have the job done
for you. In either, case the
chemical costs less than 10< per
acre, which is about one fiftieth
the cost of replanting. The
County Agent can tell you more
? about the value of seed treat
ment and where you can get
treated cotton or your own cot
ton treated for you.
