FAR n NOTES FOR
HALIFAX COUNTY
By W. DAVIS, County Agent
Wei on, N. c.

In last weeks farm notes we
advertised the Boil Weevil meet
ing for Jan. 18th. That date was
incorrect. The boil weevil meet
ing will be held at IL o'clock on
Friday, Jan. 18th at Halifax in
the Court House. We will have
one speaker on soil building
and ferti,izing and another on
methods of boil weevil control.
This meeting is of vital impor-
tance to every business man and
farmer in Halifax County.

These three things will put the
farmer largely on a cash basis,
an1 if food and feed GRO. IS, meat.
mix ard butter are produced in
sufficient quantity for the farm,
the money crops, whether they
be large or small, will be real
money crops.
Roanoke Rapids herald., 1924-01-18

Everybody, both white and
colored are invited to attend the
boil weevil meeting at Halifax
next Friday.
Roanoke Rapids herald., 1924-01-18

DR.. Kilgore says, because it
is the wise thing to do, and be-
cause of the possible great dam
age from the boil weevil this
0oming year, our farmers should
make a special effort to make
he good crops of the past sea-
son count in the largest possible
way as insurance for the future.
livery possible effort should be
made to get farming on cash
basis, making every dollar count,
and three things should be done
without fail:

And then the fellow who
prophesied that McAdoo will
some day be president would be
sure to crop up. And probably
the life line in his hand, his
horoscope and that his diet made

might all be duly made a whale

Why, so far, not even a cigar
has yet been named after him.

of the old school of press agents
would have had him two-third 5

Ever since Mrs. Henry Ford
said fatty that Henry should
not run for president, there has
been an ever-increasing swarm

up the right spirit to toss his

which is to be delivered by Congress

Congressman Rathbone recently in

gate the coffee situation and, if nee

he pointed out that Brazil is today
the greatest coffee raising country
and that America purchases q of its
product 1t seems that Brazilian
coffee raisers are arbitrarily restrict
ing the output of the shipment of
coffee from the interior to the sea
board for the purpose of keeping up
the price. OF course, the American
consumer is the chief sufferer.
Congressman Rathbone will make
every effort at the next session of
Congress to bring the Brizilian Gov

The present alignment of political
parties in the United States is the
most confusing that has resulted from
the action of political conventions IN
this generation.
Heretofore the lines have been
drawn with more or less sharp dis
tinctions in policies, but this yeal
there is but little difference between
the platforms of the two dominating
parties. In practically all matters
of consequence to Organized Labor
the Democratic and Republican plat
forms read like the Delphian oracle,
which might be interpreted in any
one of two or three ways.
The dominating note in both plat
forms is obscurity, with a manifest
tendency to hedge i'm all points so that
voters from every class may have no
reason to withhold their ballots
Practically the only thing by which

Organized Labor cannot support
Charles G.. Dawes as a candidate for
the vice presidency on the Republican
ticket because of his record in Chi
cago as pronounced open shop
advocate. His record as an organizer
against the principles Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is strongly
against him when it comes to select
ing men apart from platforms. Labor
cannot be expected to support him.
Calvin Coolidge as candidate for the
presidency on the Republican ticket
would draw largely from the ranks OF
Labor were it not for Dawes, though
he has never to the knowledge OF
this paper, contributed anything out
standing to the cause of Labor, nor
ha, he shown any inclination to do so
II may safely be concluded that Mr..
Coolidge will permit the large inter
ests in America to dominate his
policy, and that on tie other hand he
will turn deaf ear to the appeals of
Samuel Gompers and other leaders of
the American Federation of Labor.
1t will be equally impossible for
loyal members of Organized Labor to
support George w. Davis for presi-
dent on the Democratic ticket, for no
other reason than that he has been
linked intimately with the J. Z. Nor
gan interests as their attorney. Mr.
Bryan might draw from the rank
of Labor, but Mr.. Davis is hopeless.
Loyal members of Organized Labor
throughout the nation will think twice
before they will risk the possibility
of Charles G. Dawes becoming presi'
dent, or of c. w Bryan remaining
vice president should Davis be elect
ed. The chances are too slim to war
rant supporting either ticket. Or
ganized Labor, consequently will sup
mort neither of the old PARTY tickets.
