DUST STORMS MAY
CONTINUE IN WEST

Lincoln, Neb.-Terrific dust storms
which turned day into night over the
middle west during March, will be
continued with greater intensity un.
less midland agrarians reform their
farming plans, according to Dominick
Gross, extension agronomist at Ne
braska university.
Gross paints a gloomy picture for
the agricultural regions of Nebraska
the Dakotas, Kansas, Iowa and Okla
homa unless methods are changed
Organized efforts under long-scale
planning will be necessity if mid
landers are to avoid the clouds oil
swirling dust, he said.
Foundation for the storms, accord
ing to the agronomist, was the re-
moval long before last years drought
of organic matter which had been &C.
cumulated through the centuries in
the prairies.
Seeding Of tremendous areas with
out consideration of the fact that in
sufficient soil cover was being main
tanned, was the underlying cause OF
these disturbances" he said. "This
has left the top soil loose and dry and
an easy victim for dry weather and
strong winds"
Not until farmers grow more
"cover crops-wheat, rye, barley
oats and similar grains-may the
middle west expect an end of the
:torms, he predicts. Listing" of
fields during the summer also may
3e an effecti'e deterrent, he said.
An in~o@. ant factor in storms this
Year, Co.'s said, was the universal
cutting O. o"2 for forage at the end
of the worst drought in mid-western
history last fall.

OBITUARY OF PAULINE BARKER

1t was sad hour indeed when on
the morning of November 18th, 1884,
the death angel visited the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. James E. Barker and
called from them Pauline, loving
daughter.
Rettie Pauline Barker, was born
July 10th, 1920. She lived to brighten
the home of her parents for ID years,
4 months and IL days.
We do not know whether she was
conscious of the nearness of death
or not, yet we feel that when the call
came that she was ready and willing
to go.
When the end was drawing near
her grandmother, Mrs. Lackie Barker,
took her up in her arms, and said to
her; Little Pauline, you are going
to better place than this, where
there will be no tears, nor sorrow"
and she smiled and said, Eyes"
Then with the smile of an angel
on her face and without a struggle,
she was borne by angel spirits to her
heavenly home.
She will be missed by her father,
mother, three sisters and one brother
-Eula Ray, Lake Lee, Myrtledean,
and Lenora, as we'll as relatives and
many friends. But let us be submits
sive to the will of him, who doeth
all things well, and live to meet her
in heaven, where sad partings come
no more.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. w. E. Denney and Rev. W. F.
Barker at the Tucker cemetery.

STORM BREWING

Everybody, or at least the farm
ers, though the cotton processing tax
was all to the mustard when it was
first levied to pay benefits to growers
for reducing their crops. Now that
the tax is said to be operating to
depress the market for American cot
ton goods and opening the door to
foreign competition, threading to
close many southern mills, the tax is
no so popular. You have seen in the
papers that manufacturers are at
tempting to get the federal govern
ment to remove the levy or pay it out
of relief funds but what you haven't
seen is that movement on foot to
get the manufacturers in their June
convention in Georgia to refuse to
collect the tax. That would stir up
sorry kettle of fish that is now stew
ing.
FREE-FOR-ALL
This coming race for Lieutenant
Governor looks like it is going to be
open to all corners. Former Senator
George MeNeill, Of Fayetteville, is
campaigning full speed these days.
Senator w. G. Clark, of Edgecombe,
isn't losing any time and Senator
Harriss Newman of New Hanover
and Speaker of the House Robert
Grady Johnson, of Duplin, are busy
getting their ducks in row. You can
find people around the State Capitol
expressing a willingness to bet or
my of these entries but there are few
takers of the wagers. It's too early
in the game to be predicting even
who will actually file their candida
cies in the race, much less to venture
a representation on who will win.
HEADACHES
Since the State has taken over the
eight months public school term the
biennial worry of Legislators is the
question of getting the money with
out taxing lot of poor folk out of
existence. Amendments to the consti-
tuition have been proposed with a
view to remedying the situation. If
passed these changes in the basic
law would provide exemptions from
taxation for small homes, increase
the income tax maximum and classify
property for the purpose of taxation.
Those supposed to know their fiscal
affairs say these changes would en-
able the Legislature to levy taxes on
the rich without killing the poor as
the case under the present uniformity
clause of the constitution.
DYNAMITE
The big explosion on the sales tax
always comes on the question of tax
ing the meat and bread of the one
gallows man. Present legal exemp-
tons have provided a means of many
people escaping payment Of the tax
on other items. The proposal to ex-
empt only four or five subsistence"
items of food appears to many lead
ers to approach solution of the
problem. 1t is admitted that if you
exempt fat-back there will be little
political dynamite in taxing porter
house or souloin stakes. Once upon a
time the anti-general-sales takers
were proposing to tax coffee and
sugar as luxuries. Now they want
them exempted as necessities. How
times do change.

Oh it's said parting when our
loved ones die,
And with fond hearts breaking,
we must say goodbye.
But in Gods sweet heaven tears
will all be dried,
There will be no crying on the
other side.
So goodbye, Pauline, it will no
be long until we can meet wher
partings will never come.

Mrs. Lucy Barker.

Othello, and Mrs. Matilda Miller of
Hudson, also survive her.
She professed faith in Christ while
young, and joined Bethel Baptist
Church, and remained one of it's most
faithful and devoted members until
death.
In her home she was a mother,
Her good council always heard;
She lived a faithful and devoted
companion,
And led her children to the Lord.
In her church she lived Christian,
In her pew she found her place,
And proved to all who knew her
She'd been saved by redeeming
grace.
In her community she lived a
neighbor,
To each one cl-c was so sweet;
P.s+ today she lives in hea<on,
There TO walk the golden streets.
4 husband kind and children dear,
She lea-:.es all broken hearted;
But bids them come to that sweet
home
Where they'll never more be parted.

DANGER

All things, even Legislatures,
must come to an end. There has been
much talk about the present General
Assembly establishing State system
of renting school books that would
save parents thousands of dollars
each year. But if such law is to be
enacted it should be speedily pushed
to get it on the books before the
goes back hame or there is danger
Legislature finishes it's chores and
of the measure meeting an untimely
death by the way side.

SUPPORT

Governor Ehringhaus it not lacking
for encouragement in the suggestion
that he oppose Senator J. w. Bailey
in the primaries next spring. But
despite the urging from many quar-
tiers the Governor still insists that
he wants to make a good record in
his present post before he entertains
any idea of seeking another public
office. That's what he tells his friends
and usually they just go right out
and think up some other reason why
he should run for the Senate.
