Raleigh, N. c.
My dear Governor:
1t is gratifying to the large major
ity of the taxpayers of North Caro-
lima, in my opinion, that you have
continued to stand steadfast against
calling an extraordinary session of the
General Assembly, despite recent heavy
pressure from certain quarters. Since
the governor of North Carolina does
not have the power of veto and there
is no way to restrict the activities of
the legislature, once it is convened, a
special session might do much more
harm than good under present condi-
lions. l believe the great majority of
taxpayers hope and expect that you
will continue to maintain your stand.
GOVERNOR MATTHEW Rowan.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM?

Jouette Shouse, chairman of the Democrat
ic National Committee, sometime ago outlin-
ed a tentative platform for the 1882 presiden-
tial campaign. When first published, consid-
cradle apprehension was expressed as to the po-
ltical wisdom of certain policies enumerated.
However, its reception has been decidedly ia
vorable.
The platform calls for:
Congressional amendment of the Vol
stead act to permit the sale Of light wines and
IF
Eventual referendum to the nation of
the 18th amendment, the referendum to guard
against return of the old fashioned saloon and
to provide for state control Of the liquor trat-
fic.
3-Unemployment relief, and constructive
prevention of future mass unemployment, by
e~nacting into law of the Wagner bills lnstl-
tuting public employment offices, computing
accurately the number of unemployed, appro-
~priating money for public works, and forcing
employers to adopt unemployment insurance
plan. -
+Immediate revision of the tariff law.
5-Dismissal of the Federal Farm Board and
provision of warehouse credits to help farm
ers market crops.
ga course of mutual up-building and
cooperation in relations with foreign gov
ernments
7-Opposition to the use of injunctions If
labor disputes.
establishment of the five-day week by
the federal government for its employees, as ar
example to private employers.
"a tribunalto rule, in advance, on the
legality of mergers to safeguard against indus
trial ~monopolies.
1o-Local control of power companies, with
the sources of power maintained to the peo'
ple'' even if government production of pow
er becomes necessary; problems OF transmls
sion and distribution, as a rule" to be handled
through private enterprise"
This platform, Chairman Shouse explained
was not final although, in his opinion, it EN-
bodied the outstanding issues before the pub
lie today.
The platform is frank and definite. Their
is no straddling of issues. If the platform out
lined above is adopted by the Democrats, tn
age-old claim that political parties refuse t
take a stand on the vital problems confront
ing the public will be a thing of the past.

UNEQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF
INCOME CAUSE OF DEPRESSION

To the Editor:
The real cause of depression, we all
ought to know, comes from the un-
equal distribution of income over a
period of years.
The foundation for our present
troubles was laid when the Govern
ment gave out war contracts. Every
thing was marked up to the limit and
for a few years everybody had mon
ey because the income of the nation
was more equally divided. After the
war the products of the farm began
to drop and year after year became
less and less, but war prices in almost
everything else held and, of course,
everything began to pile up. No mon
ey to buy with.
In 1914 a farmer with a tax bill of
500 could settle with 100 bushels of
wheat or less, where in 1881 he would
require 500 bushels of wheat for $500
Of taxes. Taxes happen to be only one
item in many that have bled the farm
er white in the last few years.
To appoint commission after COM
mission to investigate only adds to GU,
tax bills. When one half robs the 9th
er half, in time they destroy the whole

ton, not of national wealth but Of

and wages is the only solution. What
we need in our lives is more friendship
love and truth. Then there would b.
less living on faith, hope and charity

To the People of Rowan Count:
Recently complaints have been
heard on the score that the county
roads taken over by the state last July
are not being kept in the splendid con-
dition hat they were under the au-
thority and supervision of the coun-
ty. The complaints may be well found
ed so far as the present condition of
the roads, but it must be remembered
that the state highway commission,
taking charge July 1, faced a gigantic
task in the organization and working
out details to deal with the problem
of maintenance of about $4,000 mile:
instead of the 5000 the former state
commission had under its care.

MI. Geo. Ross Pou, Supt.,
N. c.. State Prison,
Raleigh, N. C.
My dear Mr.. Pou:
The state and the p~enitentiary man
agement have reason for qualification
in the fact that. for once the prison
farms have been made tt produce
abundance and great variety of food
stuffs to supply the more than 5000
prisoners during the coming winter.
| congratulate you upon the record
disclosed in the figures which you an
nounced the past week showing that
the institution has $1,000 quarts of
canned fruits and vegetables, 1880
gallons of sorghum, $4,000 bushels of
sweet potatoes, twenty hogsheads Of
sauerkraut, ~ barrels Of cucumber
pickles, 1880 bushels of corn and
s. 5000 bushels of other grains.
Although about 700 bales of cotton
have been produced this year, Cover
nor Gardner and the prison manage
ment have wisely decided not to plan,
any of this crop on state lands next
year, but to undertake to produce
plenty of food crops and feedstuff'
for the prison population and the live
stock. That is a wise policy, because
it should not be necessary for tn
state to spend a dollar for my sor
of food or feed that can be produced
on the prison lands.

GREEN ASPARAGUS RAORE
PALATABLE THAN WHIT

Canned green asparagus is more
palatable than the white product and
contains vitamins B and c, probably
not present in white asparagus, &C
cording to L. L. Claypool, assistant
horticulturist of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station with headquarters
at the irrigation branch station at
Prosser.
"The demand for canned green
asparagus is increasing, and the green
asparagus industry in Washington is
important and annually returns con-
siderable wealth to the growers. I'm
til the last few years no other outlet
was furnished them than shipment to
fresh market, but now canneries are
handling the crop after the fresh mar
ket is supplied"
According to the experiments con-
Quoted at the Prosser station. green
asparagus may be cut as late as May
80 with no decrease in the yield Of
large spears of asparagus the follow
ing year. Experimental results Sc
cured at other stations indicate that
cutting much later than May 80 usual
ly would result in decreased yield TIE
following season. Results of State
College experiments may be secured
in pamphlet form Upon application to
the director of the experiment station.

INFLUENZA

THE PUBLIC HEALTH LEA
CUE OF WASHINGTON warns the
people of Washington of THE dangers
Of influenza, severe pander1ic hav-
ing reached this part of the country
from the east coast where it originat-
ed.
Very little is known about the cause
or prevention of influenza. but very
much is known about the after-effects
of the disease. influenza in itself, says
the League, is no more dangerous
than severe cold, which it resembles,
but unlike a common cold, the germs
of influenza work such havoc on the
respiratory tissue as leaves the lungs;
and bronchial tubes highly suscep-
tible to pneumonia and bronchitis, and
it is these secondary complications
that have produced the high mortal
ity in the past.
Now that the affection has estab-
lished itself in the west it would be
wise for each person, when assailed
with the common symptoms of cold,
namely, chills, fever, sore throat, ach-
ing back and muscles, weakness and
maybe cough, to take to bed as a
safety measure. Should it be merely
cold, it will be relieved more quick
ly with proper treatment than if the
sufferer remained up until the cold
"wore Off, while if the disease is
influenza the chances of contracting
the dread secondary pneumonia will
be reduced to the minimum. After the
fever has subsidized, if the patient will
remain quietly in bed for another
forty-eight hours, all danger will be
eliminated in most cases. The major
ity of fatalities of this disease would
never have occurred it these precau-
tons had been taken.
For those, who are well the League
offers the advice that they avoid con-
tact with those suffering from any
form of "cold"; that they maintain
their vitality by securing plenty of
fresh air, exercise and sleep; and that
they avoid, if possible, large crowds
in poorly ventilated rooms.

STARTING ASPARAGUS SEED.
LINGS.

For those who are contemplating
planting of asparagus seed and the
growing OF their own roots in the in
creasing of asparagus acreage, we
would say that special attention
should be given to the securing OF
good seed and the proper care and
planting of the seed.
If by chance one is producing his
own seed, the seed should be care
FULLY cleaned and only the better
half Of the seed taken. The better
half would be the half which would
weigh the most per seed, or the seed
which was larger in size. Some sys-
tenn of cleaning the seed should be
followed so as to secure only this
upper half, or much more seed
should be planted in order to Sc
cure the needed number of crowns
for transplanting. Much more rigid
culling is needed where uncleaned
seed is used. 1t would seem inadvis-
able to plant anything but cleaning
seed.
The crowns should have just as
long growing season as possible
during the year that they are grown
in the bed. Because of the fact that
the seed terminates slowly 1t is
better to soak the seed for five or
six days at temperature Of rs to
go degrees F. before planting. The
seed may then be dried just enough

that it will run through a planter if
the planter is used for seeding. The
seed should be distributed at intervals
of Q IL to inches. Seed planted in
this distance will allow the crowns
to develop properly without their
being too much of tangled mass to
separate at the time the crowns are
taken up for transplanting.
A special emphasis is laid upon
the proper selection of the crowns
in all of the literature that we can
find on the development Of asparagus
beds. Even if well cleaned seed as
recommended above has been used
it is advisable to plant only about
one-half of the crowns. Where the
seed is planted as recommended
crowns will have greater chance to
develop and those crowns which do
not have an abundance of good roots
and several good strong puds should
be discarded. Only one year old
roots should be transp1anted to the
permanent bed.
If the above instl uct1ons are fol.
lowed all plants in the bed should
have an equal chance and one should
be able to secure good uniform
stand of crowns. We believe that
the future is going to require more
careful attention to just such pro.
blems as this and that the man who,
five years from now has planting
with as few skips as it is possible
to have and then takes care Of the
bed right, will be the one who will
be in a position to reap the greatest
returns.
The seed bed, botn for the seed
lings and for the crowns, should. Of
course, be well prepared. Ground
which has been in alfalfa followed
by one year of potatoes or corn,
should be in good physical condi-
ton and if this is reasonably well
fertilized, plants wiz then DEVELOP
rapidly and quicker returns can b.
expected. With well fortified ground
one should be able to beein outline
the third season. The fertilization Of
the crop has been covered in previous
articles.
Some of the publications suggest
the leaving of wide enough space
that one may drive through with the
sprayer about every fifty feet, or
twice the width that one can easily
reach across with the spray gun and
cover the tops for the control of
such pests as the asparagus beetle.
This looks as though it might be
factor which growers might well
consider.
Extreme care should be used in
the digging and hauling of the roots
so as not to damage any more OF
the larger. roots than is absolutely
necessary as this damage often sets
the crowns back considerable. Depth
Of planting crop varies somewhat
with soil and with results which
one wishes to secure. The shallower
planted beds will come on sooner in
the spring. Remember, however, that
the tendency is for the crown to
come nearer to the surface. The
depth will probably vary from four
inches on heavy soil to not more
then eight on the lighter soils. Pro-
badly five to, six inches on many of
Our light soils would be nearer ideal.
