FRIDAY, OCTOBER J 7,1952 , "BUY DEFENSE BONDS TO REPLACE OLD i TRACTORS,” SAYS 'MAID OF COTTON’ *;■ K.; AnMHNUHH^ ■R; -- iHM Ky§& , Hgi?”* pHft, - 8»"' ML • K BLgT' Afc|!j|gSsL \ ',:4a, raH >* Jq '■ J&L t } Tractors, cotton and thrift aro woven together In the fabric of American life, according to Miss Pat Mnllarkey, Dallas, Tex., 1952 Maid of Cotton. Today, there are a million tractors on Southern cotton farms and 25,000 aro added annually, sparking the trend to cotton mechanisation. These tractors will last about 10 years. By putting the annual depreciation of the tractor, 10 per cent of the purchase price, into C. 8. Defense Bonds each year, the thrifty cotton farmer can pay eash for a new traetor when he needs It. So, the young lady in the made-of-eotton costume reminds the cotton farmer; “Save for your new tractor the easy Defense Bond Way.” EDITOR (Continued from Page One) ment and business, I have come up with that subject since the days of Ida Tarbell and Standard Oil, Thomas W. Law son and life insurance scandals, the corrupt tie-in between business and politics as exposed by Lincoln Steffens from township to Congress, and the other writers of that time who were denounced by Theodore Roosevelt as muckrakers. And Lincoln Steffens’ last book on the subject lies now on my table. The country was deeply concerned about corrupt ion before Senator Nixon put on long britches and when General Eisenhower was a West Point cadet. I here record my opinion that there has been vast improvement in this field notwithstanding the present apparent lapse. I trust that I will not be considered a vain boaster in recounting the experience and study from which I have arrived at being too well grounded in democracy to be swept off my feet by every little flurry of unpopularity of some particular Democrat, or a party mistake. Why should I desert the great past and present exponents of democracy if I should happen not to like some member of the party? Ralph Waldo Emerson, the New England philosopher and idealist said that democracy was the natural creed of liberal minded men though it often happened that such men ob jected to the persons found in the ranks of the Democratic party. I believe in democracy as a living principle and the hope of the world. The Democratic party as an organization i is merely a vehicle. But the vehicle has to carry the load and therefore I stay in it and try to help direct its course. There is no difference between the mass of people who vote the Democratic ticket and those who vote the Republican ticket. The common decent citizens of both parties want the same things, the good and decent things. They seek them through both parties according to their predilections, their associations, and their different opinions of the way best to achieve them. The difference in the parties lies in the forces that guide and control policy. I thank God that I have lived to see one more nominee of the Democratic party who is a man of intellectual as well as moral integrity, a man of ideas and supreme devotion to the inner spirit of democracy, a man to whom I can give the same devotion and faith for the future as I have given to Jackson, Lincoln and Wilson in the past I give my unbounded support to , Governor Stevenson.

OF CORN, PEANUTS, BEANS Soybeans 100,000 Fewer Bushels; Corn Loss Runs in Millions Considerable reductions of the estimated corn, soybean and pea nut crops in N. C. are reported by the authorities this year. North Carolina’s soybean grow ers will harvest about 100,000 fewer bushels in 1952 than they did in 1951, according to a state ment released today by the State- Federal Crop Reporting Service and based on crop reports as of October 1. The estimated production for this year was set at 4,848,000, as compared with a total crop for 1951 of 4,950,000. The 10-year av erage (1941-50) for the State is 3,142,000 bushels. Agricultural statisticians in Ra leigh estimated that the yield-per acre average will run about 16 bushels from 303,000 harvested acres. The 1951 crop came from 300,000 harvested acres. Some damage has been done to the soybean crop in the State by army worms and beetles, but some growers say it is too early to ap praise extent of the damage. Ex tended hot and dry weather was another factor that caused some damage in the major producing areas, southern Coastal and Pied mont counties being the hardest hit. The corn crop in North Caro lina will be considerably smaller this year than in 1951 and smaller than the 10-year average for 1941- 50, it was also disclosed. Current estimates sindicate that the State will produce 55,075,000 bushels from 2,203,000 indicated acres for harvest—compared with the 1951 crop of 67,611,000 bush els from 2,181,000 acres. The 10- year average for corn is 59,560,- 000 bushels from 2,253,000 acres. The per-acre yield for 1952 is estimated at 25 bushels, compar ed with 31 bushels last year and the 10-year average of 26.5 bush els. Harvesting began the latter part of August in the commercial corn section around Elizabeth City and about 50 percent of the crop in this area had been picked by October 1. Corn harvesting is get ting well along in other eastern areas, but in Piedmont counties com picking is a little late in get ting started because of the late tobacco crop and the urgency of gathering cotton. The summer drought cut corn yields sharply throughout the Piedmont region and to a lesser extent in Coastal and Mountain sections, s Peanut growers will harvest an estimated 248,750,000 pounds this year from 199,000 acres, consid erably less than the 315,210,000 pounds produced last year on an estimated 237,000 harvested acres. The 10-year average (1941-50), was 299,494,000 pounds harvested from 276,000 acres. Statisticians in the Raleigh of fice said the figures for this year’s crop were based on an estimated yield per acre of 1,250 pounds. The 1951 yield was 1,330 pounds, sec ond only to the record 1940 yield of 1,430. The 10-year average yield is 1,090.
