Five Reasons Why
Farm Inventory Is
Helpful, Necessary

College Station, Raleigh, Jan. T.
Agricultural authorities point to five
main reason why farmers should take
inventory early in January.
| According to r. E. L. Greene, as
~istant in farm management research
for the N. c. Agricultural Experiment
station, these reasons are:
First: An annual farm inventory
will show net worth above all debts
or how much a farmer owns com
pared with what he owes
Second: 1t shows whether the far
mer is getting ahead financially. and
how much.
Third: 1t makes n good basis on
which to prepare a credit statement.
More and mora, banks and production
credit associations are requiring far
mers to furnish a credit statement be-
fore obtaining a loan.
Fourth: A farm inventory helps put
the farm on business basis.
Fifth: II provides a valuable list OF
all property for use in case Of fire.
in settling estates, and in other ne
cOtiatiOns
Greene pointed out that an inven-
tory is essential to keeping accurate
records on the farm business, and
early in January is a good time to
start kecning records

= TATESMEN, soldiers. poets,
philosophers. men of all the
arts and professions have sta
tues erected to their memory
In Washington and elsewhere, but
there is one missing.
No one yet has erected a statue to
the man who wrote one of the most
popular lines in all the language:
"Now lay me down to Sleep"
H. o. Bishop, newspaper man and
historian of Falls Church. Va, has
started Nationwide campaign to
have this neglect remedied; but first
of all he wants to know who wrote
that line. a prayer said by children
every night of their lives. Words that
were taught oldsters at their mothers
knees.
Tours Nation in Quest.
Now in Boston, after a tour of the
Nation. Mr. Bishop is going through
all the early records of New England
to see If he can trace the origin of
this powerful little prayer:
: ''No,D lay me doiDn to sleep,
! pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I tpake,
pray the Lord my soul to take"
Mr.. Bishop, before he left on his
Nation wide tour, instructed several
of his friends to make thorough search
in the Library of Congress and the
Public Library, hoping to trace the
origin of this quartrain. He enlisted
the services of Strickland Gilliland,
poet and humorist; James Hay, jr.,
novelist; and Hirst Milhollen, etcher.
and a member of the Congressional
Library staff.

American winemakers won the right
yesterday to use the word Cham
pagne"-qualified by a geographical

Under regulations announced by the
Federal Alcohol Administration, the
single word Champagne" is reserved
to the producers of the Champagne
district of France, but American vint.
ers who follow the French process may
call their product American Cham
pagne." New York Champagne" or
California Champagne.
Sparkling wine made without using
the French process of secondary fer

The administration rejected a pro-
posal of Eastern wine men that q
mixed wine containing up to 49 per
cent of outside" wine should still be
called by such geographical names as
Lake Erie Catawba" or California
Burgundy" The new rule requires
that rs per cent of the contents Of
wine be made from grapes grown and
fermented in the area indicated. Vint-
age wines, however, must be made en-
tirely within the district named.
Citrus fruit wine and fruit or vege-
table wine cannot contain more than
13 per cent alcohol by volume under
the new regulations. but may be raised
to IA per cent alcohol "by slight forti-
fication" with brandy after fermenta-

In Quest of Unknown Poet
Historian Would Honor Author of "Now
| Lay Me Down To Sleep"

Bishop. man of many hobbies,
started on this quest three years ago,
it was learned today. In the course
of his travels-trips that take him
regularly into almost every State in
the Union-he spends his spare time
interviewing librarians, asking their
help.
To Ask Statue Here.
When he discovers the name of this
unknown poet, Mr. Bishop intends
to besiege Congress asking for an ap-
preparation to erect statue in Wash
ington.
Before leaving Washington, Mr..
Bishop said: There is no line in our
language that has had more influence
than this simple one, Now I lay me
down to sleep It is interdenomina-
tional. Catholics, Protestants, every.
body has learned it at the cradle-sidc.
So far as I can ascertain, it was prev
alent during the Revolutionary War
which proves that it was learned by
the early Pilgrims. Whether it was
brought over from England, Ireland.
Scotland or Wales is something I do
not know as yet. But intend to
find out"
AS matter Of fact, Mr.. Bishop
is about to devote the remainder of
his life to diligent search for 4docu-
mentary evidence that win prove the
authorship of the celebrated line. II
he does, Washington Is going to have
one more statue-for Mr.. Bishop
it is understood, has the tn
dorsen1ent of many Senators and
Representatives in this plan TO have
o statue erected to the Unknown Poet.

THE DIGNITY OF CONGRESS-

Much has been heard in recent
years Of lobbying in the halls Of
Congress. Much also has been
heard Of Congress being a rubber
stamp" Both reached a new high
when the House Judiciary Commit
tee was considering recently the
Healey-Walsh bill to use the power
Of government spending to control
industrial relations through re-
stricti0ns upon public contracts.
Organized labor wanted the bill
passed and had publicly expressed
its approval, as was its privilege.
But the bill remained in committee
and no favorable report was forth
coming after thorough considera-
tion had been given over period OF
months. William Green, president Of
the American Federation of Labor,
then sent a telegram to certain
of the committee which
read In part as follows:
Labor is tremendously interested
In this bill and firmly expects ii to
be enacted into law before Congress
adjOurns. For this reason re-
spectfully urge you to be present at
meeting of the Judiciary Committee
tomorrow morning as herein stated. |

HOW MUCH IS sl2,OOO,OOO,OOOl

One way to get an idea Of the vast
ness Of a billion dollars would be to
start counting to that figure, a dol
lar at a time. But don't begin the
job unless you've got a couple Of
decades with nothing else to do.
According to an article in the Los
Angeles Times, il would take a man
a week to count from / to 1000 600,
working fairly steady. If he cOntin-
ued to count at the same rate, he
would reach 1.OOO.OOO,OOO in Just
nineteen years and three months.
And to count to 1900, 100000 would
require something over 21S years!
Well, $4,000, 100000 is the sum
that the American people must fork
out every year in taxes - and If
some Of our lawmakers have their
way, it's going to be substantially
raised in the future. We pay twice
as much for taxes as we do for
eighteen times as much for
taxes as for domestic light and pow |
,OO0.0 900 more for taxes than
for food.
The tax item dwarfs all the other
items in the family budget.
Twelve billion dollars is more
han you would spend If you had a
lifetime of nineteen hundred years
md spent $1,000 every minute! And
government is putting out that sum
very year, with increases just over
he horizon!

AFRAID OF THEIR OWN WORK
Cincinnati Times-Star)

1 AlAAEa-0AaAI
The two men who should have the
clearest inside view of the New Deal
are ID the President, who evolved
it and gave it a name, and (2) Ray
mOnd Moley, Number One Brain
truster. What Mr.. Roosevelt, in some
strange mood of candOr, said of it in
his January message to Congress is
we'll known, but is so interesting
that We make no excuses for re-
printing:
"In "a months we have built up
new instruments of public power. In
the hands of a peoples government
this power is wholesome and prop
er. But in the hands of political
puppets of an economic autocracy,
such power would provide shackles
for the liberties of the people"
What Raymond Moley said in New
York is new, and seems to be equal
ly significant:
"The radicals in President Roose-
velt's own party in the long
run are likely to use the politi-
cal power Of the New Deal to de-
strOy him,to destroy moderation.
and to destroy every system that he
attempted to improve"
Here, then. according to the two
men who should know it best, is a
system that would destroy popular
liberty If it got into one set of hands,
and would destroy everything else
If il got into the other set. What
ever it may be-and we would not
push either of these strange admis-
sions too fart is certainly not the
system of checks and
balance set up by a Constitution
which the New Dealers would dis
card as horse-and-buggy stuff.
