who has been called the greatest in
dividual improver of agriculture.
An English lawyer who was forced
by ill-health to get into the open, he
turned to farming.
He introduced the system of SOW
ing in rows sufficiently wide enough
to allow for orderly cultivation by
plow and hoe during the whole period
of growth. When his farm hands

of planting thousands of years

Sir John Lawes estimated that
Tulls work alone doubled the aver
age wheat yield of the world. Equal
ly as important, Tull was the father
of the principles of "dry farming; he
laid the foundations for the "con-
quest of the deserts" One authority
says, "Tull bears the same relation
to dry farming as Mendel to plant
breeding"
Tull had as hard a time as Wood
in inducing farmers to adopt his me-
thod. Even agricultural journals Of
the time attacked his preachmen:,

ONCE UPON MARCH 10th


It so happens that two of the great
est of all benefactors of agriculture
bore the unusual Christian name CT
Jethro.
There had been no important I'M
provement in the pillow for a thou
sand years when Jethro Wood, VINO
was born 1874 years ago today IN
Dartmouth, Mass, developed a plow
made entirely of cast iron except for
beam and handles.
BY endlessly carving wood and po-
tatoes, Jethro Wood first produced
the shape of the stubble or pulveriz-
ing pillow now universally used.
It took most of Woods life to break
down superstition among farmers
that the iron would poison their soil,
and to convince them that his pillow
was superior in every way to the
then commonly used wooden "Bull''
plows, shaped by broadaxe from
crooked tree forks. But as his pillow
finally won acceptance, scores of pat
ent infringers rose over the country
and his royalties were eaten up by
litigation With the development of
steel, the iron pillow passed because it
dulled more quickly.
Jethro Wood was also the benefac-
tor of farm wives; he evolved the
first successful cast-iron cooking
range, making pot-cookery in fire

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-The Surgeon
Generals office issued a report that
Camp Wadsworth, South Carolina,
was the healthiest cantonmeit in the
country, followed by Camp Hancock,
Georgia.
There was bigger news than that in
the Army Medical Corps. Friction
between it's chiefs and high officers
of the line reached an open break
when Maj Gen. w. c. Gorgas, hero
of Panamanian sanitation, appealed
to Congress, over the heads of his
departmental superiors, for help in
obtaining compliance with Medical
Corps recommendations for safe
guarding the Army's health. The
question at issue was whether the
Medical Corps should receive higher
rank, in order that it's recommends
tions be received with greater re-
spect by line officers. At the time
highest rank for any medical reserve
corps men was major.
Gen. Gorgas revealed that in order
to place the Medical Corps on his
highest basis of efficiency, a total of
1y05O medical officers had been dis
charged since the declaration of war
as unfit or inept.

OTHERS VIEWS
CROP CONTROL.
To the Editor:

TO the Editor:
Like millions of other people am
rejoicing because of the victory the
people won Saturday in voting control
of the crops. believe it is a first ST.
in the right direction. While l do no.
believe in any crop control, and am
quite sure we have no over-production
in our country, except of nillion-aires,
this vote should show the people they
have the power to get their share of
the fruits of their labor It should
show them if they will only stand to-
gether they can get something of real
benefit:
The most satisfaction 1 get out of
the great majority given the crop con-
troll Saturday was it's endorsement of
Franklin d. Roosevelt So long as tn,
people stand by him there is hope
but the very hour they repudiate him
we will start back to tn regime of
a Hoover or Bailey and on down to
degradation and chaos.
The President cannot he blamed for
the poverty in our country after five
years of his rule, for. we would have
none now could he have had his way.
Please remember he had to start at
the very mud-sills to reorganize our
Government so it would function in
the interest of the producing class
For more than a hundred and fifty
years it had been run solely for the
profit and good of those who produced
nothing. All it's laws and even its Con-
Stitution were so dOctored by the
agents of predatory wealth that the
proceeds of those who worked flowe1
into the hands of those who toiled not.
The President in his noble efforts
to right things has had to fight or
ganized wealth and it's sordid SER
wants, our politicians, every inch of
the way. And sad to relate the Sout!.
that demonstrated Saturday, March
IL it was overwhelmingly for Roose
welt, furnishes most of the opposition
in Congress to his doing any real good
for the producing class. This is quite
plain to any one who has kept UP with
things in Washington no longer than
last November Is. Of the more than
one hundred and twenty representa-
tives in the Congress from the South
less than six are really outstanding
advoC les of the doctrine of Presl-
dent Roosevelt who believes the far
mer and worker should have gen
erous share of the wealth of our coun-
try.
This farm bill that goes into effect
now can at best do but little real
good. 1t will just scatter few crumbs
more than the farmer usually gets
Yet on the strength of it you farmers
will vote to send these same men back
to Congress to fool you again. Why
did not these congressman vote for
the bill to give farmers cost of pro-
duction plus a fair profit for their
crops? Why did not these congress
men vote for the bill to insure all
crops against drouths, etc.? Why did
not these congressman vote for the
Frazier-Lemke bill to lend money to
farmers at 1 1-2 per cent interest?
Simply because organized wealth is
their mater and not the farmers and
working people on whose votes they
slip into Congress.
So long as we let the Democ~ ATTIC
Machine in North Carolina contro,
our votes we can never expect any
thing except a few crumbs now and
then.

1. On August "a, 1889 The Fayette

of the issue the publishers announced
that they were proud to say that thei:

1887, they are turned over to the Uni

In that year they were excused from

by the payment of ten pounds.
5. In an effort to show the appre-
citation of the State of North Caro-
lima for the unrestricted gifts of more
than $5,00O,O00 to aid in establishing
the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park made by the Rockefellow Foun-
dat;on Fund, the legislature of 1887
provided for an appropriation of $40,
900 to be used in building a memorial
to Mrs. Laura Spellman Rockefellow

The condition surrounding this ap
preparation in that the state of Ten

that the memorial be located on or

the meat is thoroughly cured or
cooked these worms are not killed
and will go out into the tissues and
muscles Of anyone who eats such
meat.
Disease Widespread
The magazine from which I alb
stract this report, says that the
disease is widespread: that there
are seventeen million estimated
!, u. S. Victims" I do not know whos
made this estimation, but it seemsf
extremely high. For instance, in
Ohio the disease has been report
able since 1928, and from that date
until March, 1885, there were 90
cases reported. If every state had
as high a number and the reported
cases represented only half Of
those which actually occurred, it
would mean less than 10000 cases
in eight years. Reliable statistics
are, however, notably lacking.
The condition calls attention to
the fact that there is a great deal
Of meat put on the market which
does not undergo careful inspec-
ton. Meat is not federally inspect
ed unless it is carried from state to
state, or unless the butcher makes
request for federal inspection. In
many states irresponsible private
butchers and packers bootleg unin-
Spected meat to cheap restaurant
and butcher shops, and epidemics
of this kind could easily result
from this practice.
Even carefully inspected meat
may have enough trichina to cause
an epidemic. SO Hygeis, the health
magazine, warns "Pink pork is
dangerous and should never be
eaten. Raw pork must be cooked
until white" The United States
is the most trichincus country in
the world.
