Let's Go A Little Farther

The nation this week surveyed the loss Of limb,
eyesight and life. the result OF celebrating lniepend-
ence Day the way manufacturers OF explosives have
brought it about to be celebrated. The toll is annual
and will be so until stringent laws are passed prohib-
iting the sale and manufacture Of dangerous fireworks
for the publics use.
Plentywoods celebration was marred by acct
iessly thrown firecrackers carrying dangerous charg-
es of explosives. When one reviews the fact that
firecrackers were sold here with enough powder to
hurl stones for several hundred feet, 1t is actually
surprising that the accident toll was not higher.
The city council passed an ordinance limiting the
days on which fireworks could be sold and set0ff in
the city. The council had in mind the welfare and
safety OF the populace. and in order to not be too re-
s~trictive, allowed July 2. 8 and 4 for the fireworks
bombardment.
A howl arose over the limitation and the city
dads received more than their share Of criticism In
reference with private business was undoubtedly the
backbone Of the protests to the city councils action.
All the money made from private sale OF fireworks In
the United States could not pay for the loss OF one
life, an eye, or a limb. They are valued too highly.
1t isn't worth the chance.
The city council is to be congratulated upon their
restrictive move, and should go even farther next
year by entirely eliminating explosives for celebra-
ton purposes, or limit the size OF firecrackers to
those which would hardly bulge an ant from the side
walk.

The July Sky

The evening sky in July should attract attention.
Several events OF unusual interest will take place.
On the night OF Monday, July Is, at about a quart
er after ten our readers will be able to see the first
total eclipse OF the moon since November. 1928. From
11:O9 p. IN to 10 so a, m. the moon will be In total
eclipse, finally emerging completely uncovered at las
a. m. BY watching the shadow Of the earth OIL the
moon during the opening and closing hours one can
know that the earth is really a sphere for no other
figure would cast the circular shadow.
Four planets can be seen during this month. Ven
us, drawing closer to the sun, is the brightest star or
planet and is low in the West Mars Is above 1t and
further to the East is Jupiter, the second brightest
planet. Saturn can be seen In the Southeast about
midnight, fainter than the others. On the night OF
July IL, about 9: As, the moon eclipses the star An
tares. It suddenly vanishes behind the moon, dem.
onstrting that the lunar body has no atmosphere.
If, and when, we have another imitation, followed
by another de1ation, the air will be full OF the cries
OF the losers, bitterly asking why the government
didn't do something about it."

What Will Pentywood Do?

In the process of building Plentywood there Is use,
of course. for money and plenty Of II, but the growth
and progress Of q community does not depend upon
the presence OF rich men, who are willing to gamble
everything ON their faith in PlenAywood.
We have, among our citizens. hundreds Of indiv-
iduals Of small means when one considers the million
aires Of the land. These people are the ones who will
make or break Pentywood. Until they are willing to
make sacrifices and to invest some Of their money in
the future OF their native home the ones who are bet
ter able to spend will not do so.
What is necessary before these people OF moder-
ate means feel the urge Of city growth, before they
will be willing to strain a financial budget in order to
provide contributions to worthy prospects? 1t is
simply morale, a feeling that by cooperating together
great good can be accomplished.
We have heard OF the marvellous prosperity OF
towns and cities. In each case we have heard OF the
community spirit that puts things over. This is moth
ing but the realization that cooperation spells sue
cess, that any place can grow and prosper II the
people who live in 1t get together, stay together and
work to a common goal.
This is all that is needed In Plentywood and while
we have something like good humor prevalent In our
midst there must be a more positive conviction We
must undertake some definite, single achievement
that will positively demonstrate the power Of joint &C.
ton. What will our first undertaking be? The Plen-
tywood Herald will be glad to hear suggestions.

 "Now, make the legs first. Make them fat" said Windy. Where's the snow mans hat? Without one he would catch a cold, and that would be a fright"

It has at least the effect of bring
ing about diversifcation and that is
species Of farming that in the
Carolinas especially had been seri-
ously neglected.
Abandonment of acres that had
been committed to cotton and tobac-
CO as the dominant money crops has
left the farmers with more time and
more land to devote to other cultures
and they have resorted to this type
of farming rather generally within
the past year and are set for more
of it in the future.
North Carolina had previously been
one of the heavier buyers of forage
and feedstuffs for animals in the hay
growing section of the country, but
during this past year it has actually
exported these products after having
supplied itself with all that was need
ed for home demands.
That the restricted tobacco and cot
ton growing will increasingly have
this effect upon our agriculture is
predicted by the agricultural leaders
of the State who are now insisting
that diversification be even more
widely extended and that farmers,
especially those of the tenant groups,
avail themselves of this new oppor-
tunity to supply themselves with
cows and chickens and produce for
themselves commodities that they
had no time to develop under the
ruinous one-crop system.
Along this way lies growing in
dependence of the agriculture of the
State, an opportunity for our farmers
to become self-containing and thereby
work themselves out into an economic
status that will not only give them
money to put in the banks but foods
and feds of their own by which they
can keep their money in saving.

FARM AND GARDEN

Good silage is one of the best feeds
that can be biven animals in winter,
says John Arey, extension dairyman
at State College, and he is urging all
farmers to include silage in their
farming budget.
Silage is cheap, he points out, be-
cause large amount can be produced
on a small acreage. 1t loses little food
value while in storage, and provides
succulent and nutritive feed at time
when pasture grass is not available.
The creage which must be allotted
to corn to produce a desired tonnage
of silage depends largely upon the
productivity of the soil. Corn that
will produce so bushels of grain to
the acre will yield about 10 tons of
silage, or enough to feed three aver
age cows six months.
Although Texas seeded ribbon cane
has only II percent of the molk pro-
ducing value of corn, when converted
into silage, it will produce from so
to 80 percent more tonnage to the
acre, according to tests conducted by
the South Carolina experiment sta
lion.
Only few dairymen in this State
have grown the ribbon cane for sill
age, but Arey believes the results OBJ
tanned will warrant a more general
use of it, especially by farmers with
trench silos. 1t will pack in the silo
better than corn.
Corn paintings for silage should be
between May 1 and July 1, but the
best results are obtained from plant
ings made betweeny May IS and
June Is. Texas seeded ribbon cane
should be planted between May /
and Is.
The advent of the trench silo
should lead to a greater usae of sill
age by small herd owners, Arey
states, for this type of silo is easily
adapted to all herd sizes.

sI4,346,l26 PAID
: \. c. FARMERS
Total Paid Out by AAA in the 48
States Reached the Staggering
Sum of $3.50, 6O6,962

North Carolina farmers who have
adjusted their crops in accordance
with the agricultural adjustment adj
ministrations four major production
control problems had received rental
and benfit payments approximating
$14,346,126 as of March 1, 1885, the
AAA's comptroller reported Sunday.
Of this amount $8,O44,776 was paid
to cooperating cotton producers;
S5,73S,355 to tobacco producer
$482,556 to corn-hog farmers; and
$8O,A38 to wheat growers.
The comptroller's full report show
ed that farmers in the 48 states had

MEAT ANIMAL PRICES
HAVE DEFINITELY
INCREASED

North Carolina farmers are being
cautioned not to- sell their beef cattle
hogs, and sheep at prices lower than
present market quotations.
A number of farmers not in close
touch with the market have sold theri
animals recently for one-half or a
third of their value, says L. l. Case,
animal husbandman at State College.
Beef prices have risen about 60
per cent and pork prices have approx
mately doubled within the past year,
Case said, and the prices paid local
frmers should go up accordingly.
Although prices paid for livestock
at the farm cannot equal those paid
at central markets, Case added, grow
ers should not sell their meat animals
without checking up carefully to see
what they are worth.
The current outlook gives promise
of a continuation of the present price
level, he stated, and local growers
need not dispose of their stock now
for fear that prices will tumble in
the near future.
The weekly average of all steers
on the Chicago market was $7.15 the
first week in December and $1O.57
the last week in February. Choice
grades rose from 1929 to $3.50 and
low, or common, grade rose from
$3.72 to $3.50. intermediate grades
increased proportionately.
Stocker and feeder prices have
risen correspondingly. Early in De-
cember the prices ranged from $3.50
to $3.50 for various grades; in Janu-
ay the scale was up to $3.50 range.
Good slaughter COWS advanced from
$5.25 to $3.50.
The price of lambs has not increas-
ed as much, Case pointed out, but
added that it did not go as low as
beef and pork during the depression.
A rise this spring is expected, he
continued.

FRUIT PROSPECTS GOOD

Prospects for the 1885 fruit crop
on the Brushy mountains in Wilkes
and Alexander counties are still good,
notwithstanding the fact that much
of the bloom was covered with ice in
the sleet of the past week, it was
learned from County Agent, A. G.
Hendren, who owns and operates a
model farm in the fruit-growin Sec
ton.
Although the opinion has been ex-
pressed that the sleet possibly die
some slight damage to the coming
fruit crop, there will be an ample
crop if no other freezes occur.
