In its last issue The Herald had
something to say about the strawber-
ry industry in the Whiteville and
Chadbourn sections of North Caro-
lima and pointed out how prosperous
our section would be if we added
strawberries and potatoes to our to-
bacco and cotton crops. A farmer
who knows something about growing
strawberries remiAds us that straw
berry plants should be set out in
June. If they are planted later in the
season the hot weather willis them
and they do not get good start.
Strawberries put out in June will
produce good crop the following
spring.

1t is time for the country to begin
to show a little common sense in its
attitude toward the automobile. The
automobile is no longer an expert
ment-it is a success. In its eXper:
mental stages it was the tool of the
demagogue law-maker who used il
to work on the prejudices of the
masses as against the classes, and
during that period many foolish anti
automobile laws were put on the
statute books. Little more than 100
years ago demagogues in law-making
bodies opposed the construction Of
railroads for the same reasons. Laws
were passed prohibiting trains from
running more than 5 miles an hour
and many wise men in that day and
time opposed the building of railroads
through their communities because
they feared the suction following the
swift passing Of the iron monster
would tear down their houses and de-
stroy their cattle. The automobile
has been called the poor mans bur-
den and the rich mans luxury. but
1t is neither. 1t is a vehicle used for
quick transportation and has become
su closely woven into the business
fabric of the world that to dispense
with it would be a distinct step back
ward. There should be rigid laws
governing the use of the automobile.
bTt many law-making bodies have
gone beyond the bounds Of reason
and common sense. We have in mind
at this moment certain drastic fea-
lures of the Volstead act better
known as the prohibition law. Under
this act the owner of an automobile
has absolutely no protection. The
United States Supreme Court has re-
Gently, in a case taken up from Geor-
gia, decided that anyone whose car
had been loaned TO another person
and used in the transportation of in
toxcants, even without the knoWled ge
or consent of the owner of the vehi-
Gle, could have no redress against the
confiscation Of the vehicle under the
existing law. The court has also held
that the holder of a mortgage over
an automobile has no redress if the
automobile is confiscated for trans
pCrtating. These are unjust laws and
should be repealed. Senator Dial. we
are glad to note, has introduced an
amendment to the Federal statutes to
protect the innocent owners Of au-
tomobiles, boats, carriages and 9th
e" conveyances from having their
property confiscated in case such We
hicles should be found in the pos
session of anyone Transporting intox-
icating liquors" Senator Dial claims
that his amendment places the bur
der of proof upon the innocent owner
or creditor to show that he did not
participate under the prohibition
laws. The amendment gives the own
er of the vehicle or the own
Ell of the mortgage over the
vehicle an opportunity to submit
the facts in the case to jury
and no fair-minded person in
this land of liberty can afford to
deny to another person the right to
n trial nv iurv

til the funds OF the district were

tion the taxes to the various districts

SHIPPING ASSOCIATIONS ARE
SUCCESSFUL IN ILLINOIS

The organization of shipping as
sociations has been successfully as
sisted by the county agents in Illi-
nois. The work has proved popular
and advantageous to the farmers.
New associations we're organized
during the second quarter of this
year, ending June 30, in Henderson,
Hancock. Pike, Randolph, Marshall,
Putnam, and Kendall counties. The
results shown by the shipping assoc
iation in Adams county are typical.
Sixty-two carloads of live stock were
sent to terminal markets during the
month of April. These shipments
included 1857 hogs, 343 cattle, and
20 sheep, belonging to 3S2 Adams
county farmers. The total sale
price for this shipment was $4,000.
This was an increase of $4,000 in
sales value over the same month
last year.
The average price per hundred
weight this year was considerably
lower than last, and It was especial
ly gratifying that this gain in sales
was made by increasing the ship
ment to SO more carloads than last
year.
The Henry County Shipping AS
sociation shipped altogether $3,4S2,-
076.25 worth of live stock during
the year ending March 81. Last
year the total was $9.S59.153.42.
The increase in fetal sales indicates
general satisfa tion with the coop
eratige plan o. shipment.
