CANDIDATE

Mr.. George R. Ross, of Jackson Springs Moore
county, is aspirant for congress over in the
Eighth district. And his literature informs us that
the "R'' in his name stands for Romulus, and that
he is the son of Romulus Rudophus Ross and Ellen
McCulloch Ross, that he was born on farm, that
at A. & NJ college (now State) he was "tamlllarly
known to ALL as George" that as quickly as he
got out of college he built house with running
water, heat and lights and cleared 500 acres OF
land for ''farm,'' that he is Sunday school su-
perintenden that he an "interest IN the rail-
passenger franchises in Eastern Carolina" as wall
as peach orchards farmeand timber land etc. etc.
that he has been active in politics, beginning as
Justice of the peace, and that he will support the
President of Our Nation and the principles of
the New Deal that make life more secure IN :
homes"
From all of which we deduce, among other Things,
these:
THAT there is nothing like campaign for
bringing out middle names. .,
2-That it is still good stuff in North Carolina
politics to have been born on farm.
3-That college boys named George are some
times called George by other college boys
4-That it doesn't hurt candidate IN North
Carolina to have been Sunday school superlnten-
dent.
5-That he can even survive having been JUS
tice of the peace.
6-That Mr.. Ross is pretty well heeled.
THAT he wants to be elected.-The Charlotte

PUMPS AND PURCHASING POWER

One elemental thing to remember about recoV-
cry by pump printing: All the water has TO come
out Of one well-production Purchasing power
ultimately is derived from goods and services pro-
duced. There is no other source, and those who
think money is pulled out of the air by congress
sional appropriations for pump-prming are due for
as rude a shock as those who think it can be made
on printing presses. In the end goods and services
must be paid for with goods and services.
Purchasing power is not created by pump-prlm-
ing The printing is water taken from the same
well-the national income of wealth produced and
utilized. The printing may induce a freer flow of
production If the pump of private enterprise is in
good working order, it should. If not, only few
buckets of retal-trade buying power will be skim
med from the surface The pump will reach down
and bring upon steady flow of private investment
only when the pump is fabricated with confidence.
1t is important to center on increasing the ma
tional income in terms of actual production. The
fact that the printing must also come from that
source is not necessarily argument against prim-
ing. The thing to make sure of is having the pump
in good order so water poured in will not be wasted

FOR SALE-ONE MILLION BUSHELS
OF HENDERSON COUNTY APPLES

Such an advertisement published at the
present time would indeed seem fantastic,
but according to present indications, IN
only few years the orchardists of this
county will be seeking, a market for just
such a crop. '.. :.-- .-'
According to agricultural officials of the
county, there are now several hundred
thousand producing. apple trees. in this
county, and many more have been set out
in the immediate past few years. 1t has
been reliably estimated that there are more
than one hundred thousand apple trees in
Henderson county that have not yet borne
an apple. .... ....- -.. ~.-s ..
When these trees begin producing and
the older trees increase their production,
the farmers of the county will have an
enormous crop to dispose Of ., 49,.
Now is the time f0t farmers and agricul-
tural leaders of the county to begin taking
steps looking toward the development of
a market for this crop, which bids fair to
become the county'S Largest money crop.
A survey has recently been made of the
orchard situation in this county. and the
results are now being summarized, The
survey was made on a broad base, and will
show the number of trees in the county,
the number and types now producing, the
number set, and what the crop is, likely to
be in future years.
1t will also show the attitude, of the in
dividual orchardist toward marketing, and
the collective mind of this group. In the
past apples have been sold largely to truck
erS, but in the last few years this system
has not been satisfactory. 1t does not give
the local producer the advantage of the
best market for apples. ......
The farmer is by reputation great in
dividualist, loath to join with his fellows
for marketing or purchasing agreements.
The Times-NewS is of the opinion that a
million bushel apple crop cannot be ham
died under present marketing conditions.
No particular system is recommended by
this newspaper at the present time, but the
opinion is advanced that apple growers of
this county will do well to begin consider
ing this problem and taking some steps to-
ward satisfactory solution. ,

PRUNING BUSINESS PUMP

day after day and year after year
they compel their wives to take
the bucket to the spring for

Installation consisted of driving
pointed, copper coated sieve

20 feet deep, screwing on the
pitcher and printing with dipper

Officials explained that the WPA
was not flexible enough to adjust
itself to the rapidly mounting re-
lief requirements and that local
sponsors are unable to provide
enough projects to give work 10
