Canning Company Finishes Pea
Crop; Had Normal Season

The Mount Airy Canning company
concluded the canning of the 1886 pea
crop on Tuesday, at its plant at Loeb

Gals to be normal crop although be-
low last years output. The cannery
will reopen about the middle of August
for the purpose of canning corn.

United States senator, at Baylor Uni
versity in Waco, Texas, whose foun-
der DR.. Rufus G. Burleson baptized
General Houston and at independence,

CORPORATE IDEA APPLIED TO
FARMING

From the weller of discussion that
has followed the death of the AAA,
one striking fact energies: Apparent
ly every farm program emanating
from responsible source stresses
he need of encouraging and develop
.ng agricultural marketing coopera-
tives.
The Administration is highly fav-
orable to farm cooperatives. When
ex-President Hoover spoke on the
farm problem few weeks ago at
Lincoln, Nebraska, he too pointed to
the importance of farm cooperatives.
The cooperative marketing idea is
entirely non-political and non-parti-
san. 1t is not the product of poll
tics-instead, it is the pronuct of
natural economic forces. 1t repre-
sents an inevitable evolutionary pro-
cess. It has proven its soundness
through years of depression, and the
movement has grown in the face of
the greatest obstacles. When farm
ers get together to solve their own
problems through central manage
ment, they are not phrshing some
transitory farm relief" scheme
they are using their intelligence to
reach a goal that is beneficial to all
concerned-producer and consumer
alike.

SHOW THE YOUNGSTERS HOW

Among children of school age nc
disease takes as many lives as acct
dents. These accidents occur at an
age when there has not yet been time
for habit to gain ascendency over con-
duct. Most educational authorities
recognize that child can be educat-
ed to behavior safe for himself and
for others. Safety education in the
elementary schools has made great
strides both in development and re-
suits.
Three methods, says the Education
Division of the National Safety Coun-
Gil, are being used most successfully
in teaching of safety in the schools.
"First, the teaching of safety in
actual situations where the need for
it is apparent. Second, the injection
Of the subject matter of safety into
the regular subjects of the cur
riculum. This provides opportunity
for children to follow interests
which lead into the more general
aspects of safety, thereby greatly
adding to their fund Of information.
Third, the organization of extra-cur-
ricular activities such as junior
safety councils, schoolboy patrols and
the safety clubs. These activities
present an opportunity for the child
to apply his knowledge to the benefit
Of others, thus assuring definite civic
responsibilities.
The result of this work is that
since 1922 accidental deaths of chill
dren have decreased in every cate
CORY except traffic accidents, while
adult deaths have increased sharply.
1t is estimated that safety education
is saving he lives of $500 children a
year.
A movement to expand this ednca-
tional program to the incorporation
Of good driving courses into the cur
riculums Of the high schools has
been gaining strength for several
years. A number of states have al
ready instituted such courses and a
number of others. as well as coun-
ties and communities, are ready to
inaugurate them.
This movement deserves unquali-
ned backing and encouragement. If
our youths can really be made re-
sponsibie users Of the streets and
highways, then we can look forward
20 gradually supplanting the adult
motoring population Of today which
AZ responsible for the deaths Of &c.
900 persons annually.

JEST A.W HITTLIN' AN A.
THINKIN'
By Pete Gettys

Recollect Old Shep, the farm dog
so smart he could almost talk, and
bring up the cows and run the shoats
out of the yard? 1t looks like his
tribe Is about gone-given way to
Collies, which are beautiful but
dumb, and not much help about the
farm.
So along comes the Dept of Agri-
culture and brings in from Hungary
four Pull sheep dogs-a female IN
years old and three puppies. In
Hungary they call 'em "Juasz
Kutya," which means shepherd
Dog" They're said to be active and
affectionate. When mature these
Pull pups are medium size, have
medium length back, hair which is
curly and of a silky texture. There
is some white on the chest-like Old
Shep.
The face is partly covered with
long hair, giving the dog face sorter
like the old English sheep dog-the
ears hang down, and the tail sorter
bushy curls over the back-and we
wish Uncle Sam would save us pup.
And that amt all the Dept of Agri-
culture is bringing in now that none
of us ever heard of-22 Red Danish
milk cows and 6 Nonius horses.
The cattle originated from Denmark
and have the reputation for good
mixers.
The horses-two stations and four
mares-are black or bay and meas
ure about 16 hands. The name of
the breed comes from stallion foal-
ed in 1810-the sire an English
stallion and the dam Normandy
mare.
In 1915, the stallion Nonius was
taken over by the Austrian Govern
ment and bred to mares of % breeds.
Descendants of Nonius were divided
into large and small strains with
emphasis on the latter.
Lots of good sense in that kind of
government importing. What this
country needs is more good farm
dogs, milk cattle and horses and
mules in the United States. Now
there are only 10 million. Automo-
biles and tractors have taken their
place. That sounds all right cause
tractors and automobiles are strong
er and faster than horses and mules
sure they are-but in their feed
bags you find only gasoline-while
the million "lost" horses and mules
ate oats and hay-probably the pro-
duct of 80 millions acres of farm
land. -
So there you are-every time you
try to fix up one thing something
breaks out somewhere else-sorter
like trying to roll cat in wheel
barrow-hold the cat with one hand
and the wheelbarrow turns over
hold the wheelbarrow and the darned
cat jumps out.

CONGRESS PLANS TOWNSEND
INQUIRY

Nothing has yet illustrated quite
so clearly the acute concern which
the Townsend old-age pension plan
movement has occasioned to almost
every member of Congress as the
fact that Republicans and Democrats
have joined forces to bring about a
non-partisan investigation.
With few exceptions the individu-
ais who go to make up the United
States Congress consider 1t one of
the most uncertain and dangerous
issues of the day, an issue which
threatens the political life of each
one and an issue all the more aggra-
waiting because as yet no one really
knows how extensive is the popular
sentiment behind it.
AS the result of conference of
Democratic and Republican leaders
the House in all probability will un-
dertake an extensive and thorough
investigation of the movement the
real purpose of which will be to en-
able the individual members of Con-
gress to take stand on the question
with better knowledge of what it
means in votes than is now possible.
Representative G. Jasper Bell CD,
Of Missouri, recently introduced a
resolution calling for an investigation
If all old-age pension schemes and
movements, but mentioning specifi-
cally by name only the Townsend
movement which, obviously, would be
he major subject of study by the
committee to be set up. Others may
be touched on incidentally, but the
resolution is aimed at the Townsend
movement. Ostensibly its purpose is
10 discover whether any deception
1as been practiced on aged potential
oenefciaries and whether there is an
element of exploitation involved.
The majority of Congress un-
loubtedly disapproves of device
which would saddle on the majority
If the taxpayers the cost of maintain
ng eight to ten million pensioners at
5000 per month per person. But
;uch is the reputed voting strength
f the movement in many states that
many conscientious DIRECTORS fear
opposition would be equivalent to
political suicide.
Donald Richberg, former NRA
hief and prominent legal light of
early new deal days, has attempted
10 state the cost in new light, which
is hoped by his supporters will
nave an effect on public opinion. The
Townsend sponsors express the
methods of raising the necessary
funds in terms of per cent tax on
transactions. On the surface, this
,eems small enough.
But Mr.. Richberg prefers to put
it in terms of national income. The
pensions would presumably require
$4,000, 100000 a year. Mr.. Rich
berg says that $72,OO0,O00,00O is an
optimistic estimate of total national
income for the present year. If this
igure is acceptable, it would require
exactly one-third of the total ma
sional income, or 33 per cent of what
The average man earns, to pay the
pensions which benefit only about
one-twelfth of the population.
These figures constitute only one
phase of the counter attack on the
Townsend plan. The congressional
Investigation is a second and perhaps
more significant. If it should, as its
sponsors predict, turn up evidence of
exploitation, it will be a strong
weapon.

are two principal types Of canned
cherries-sweet and sour. There
are both black and white sweet
cherries. Sour cherries are red.
The most abundant black sweet
cherries are the Bing and Wind

ones are the Royal Annes. Sour
cherries are usually either Rich

cherries are canned unpitted. Sour
cherries are always canned with
the pits removed.
This is a good season, too, to
check up on your cherry recipes,
