Dairy Farmers Should Plan
Now For Next Winters Feed

If normal rainfall occurs this
summer, dairy farmers of North
Carolina will produce the extra
70 million pounds of milk asked
of them in the 'Food-for-Free-
dom" program, says FIR. Farm
ham, Extension dairyman of NC.
State College. He predicts that a
better feeding program, a past
ure improvement program based
on applications of lime and phos-
phate, and an increased number
of milk cows will enable the milk
goals to be met.
However, he added, eff we
are to follow through with a con-
tinued increase of dairy product
ion, it is of the utmost import
ance that farmers plan now to
grow those crops that will furn-
ish feed for COWS next winter.
The dairy herd must be adequate
ly fed after the fall frosts kill
the grass in pastures"
Farnham says that every farm
er who plans to milk five or more
COWS will need an acre or more
of good silage corn. Each COW will
need at least three tons of silage
to carry her through next winter,
when the feed ration includes,
also, a good quality of legume
hay and a liberal grain ration.
"Silage is a cheap source OF
succulent roughage," the Extens-
ion dairyman said. "A yield OF
from 10 to IL tons of silage corn
per acre is quite common in this
state. There is probably no other
crop that will produce more dl-
gestible nutrients than an acre OF
corn yielding 10 or more tons OF
silage per acre."
Farnham reports that milk pro-
duction is being increased rapid
ly all over the State, especially
in the Piedmont and Western
North Carolina. He says that
milk receipts at the Shelby re-
ceiving station of one of the
large manufacturing plants show
an increase of 60 percent in one
week, over the corresponding
period of 1941.

Stating that the Texan was
seeking to inflame the public
mind by a malicious distortion of
facts" the vice president added:

of his kind with an intense itch
for publicity will use their talents
to help the United Nations win
this war, rather than stir up dis

Something Is Wrong!

We do not know exactly where the
trouble is, but something is seriously
wrong somewhere.
We would hate to accuse our con-
gressmen and senators of falling down on
the job. We would hate to think of ode
Tense industry money" being spent in the
more doubtful states" politically. We
would hate to think that "offic;al Wash
ington' does not know of the numerous
industrial advantages in this state. But
nevertheless, the truth is that North Caro-
lima is far down the list of states, in fact,
near the bottom, in the number of govern
ment financed war industries over $25, 00O
This information was revealed few
days ago by Representative Bender, of
Ohio, who was probably doing little
Dragging and perhaps trying to build up
his own political fence when he made an
announcement which showed that his
state leads all other states in the number
of projects and was third to Michigan and
Pennsylvania in amount expended.
According to his report, only seven
other states Jared worse han North Caro-
lima and none of them are manufacturing
states like North Carolina
North and South Carolina were listed
as having only two government financed
war plants, with this states amount being
$1O,4O6OOO and South Cardinals $25,
900. On the other hand, the tabulation
showed Virginia had seven industries, with
1854 900 invested; Tennessee, 9, with
$121, $4,000 and Georgia industries.
AS an industrial state, North Carolina
leads the south. In the next place. North
Carolina is one of the leading tax payers
to the federal government and it is the
peoples money that is being spent. Ohio
alone has gotten SO war industries with
$518,782,000 invested. Michigan leads with
1857, 924,OOO invested, and North Carolina
only has one plant with little over $10,-
100000 invested
In this connection, we are glad to ac-
knowledge the fact that site has been Sc
lected near Asheville for the erection of a
large 1,52O-bed government hospital, which
will cost around five million We also
wish to admit that this is the first war pro-
iect that has been assigned to western or
northwestern North Carolina.
The best interest of the war effort
must come first, but private industry has
found that North Carolina is ideally adapt
ed for manufacturing of all kinds and a.
mother star in our crown is that we do not
have high percentage of foreign labor
and consequently almost no labor trouble.
We are getting sick and tired of our
citizens leaving home and going cup
north" to get jobs in defense industries
Why can't we have defense industries
down here for them to work in? We need
those people here at home They prefer
to stay here, too, but there's no work for
them.
If we were in Congress, we would
certainly find out why North Carolina is
being overlooked? Well certainly have
to pay our part Of this huge war tax bill!
In many manufacturing fields, North
Carolina ranks foremost in the nation.
Why shouldn't we have he opportunity
of helping to build up the nations war
machine? Why not, Mr. Congressman and
Mr.. Senator?

Time To Wake Up!

The taxpayers of Ashe county, of
North Carolina and of the United States
are and will continue to be the ones who
will pay the bill for building up our huge
billions of dollars Therefore, Mr.. Taxpay-
er, you have the right and the privilege OF
telling Congress whether YOU LIKE OR
DISLIKE some of the ways in which
these vast sums of money are being spent.
To lick the Axis, we realize that the
Allies must have more airplanes, more
tanks, more ships, more guns and more
everything than our powerful enemies
have. But at the same time, we do not
see why a forty-hour work-week is
maintained at very high rates of pay when
our enemies have sixty and seventy-hour
work-weeks and very low rates of pay.
We do not see why industry should be al
lowed to make fairly high profits. We
certainly do not see why labor unions
should be allowed to collect high men,
bership fees from workers in defense in
dustries. We do not see why all types
of labor, skilled and unskilled, receive
much higher rates of pay than private in
dustry can afford to give. We do not see
why the government should continue to
spend vast sums of money for agencies
that are not essential to the war effort or
why a social security program should be
expanded at time when our very exis-
tence as a nation is at stake.
Yes, we are drafting young men from
their homes and their work to serve in the
armed forces at very low rates of pay and
yet, we are paying enormous prices for la
Dor, only forty hours week, too, in de-
Tense industries. The result is that the
war machine effort is costing too much,
that it is causing men to leave the farms,
to leave essential jobs in private indus
tries and business establishments, and get
work in defense plants where their pay
is sometime twice as much as they were
receiving Small business has already
been effected by the war. There is now
AO QUILL CIl111S do UC4o111Coo do uoCd1 dllO
yet the government adds to this hardship,
this other problem.
If the patriotism of the American in
dustrial worker has to be bought at high
dollar-price and a short-work-week, then
the spirit of this nation has certainly
slumped to low level in comparison with
that which existed when the nation was
founded, and we are certainly in bad fix.
Mr. Congressman and Mr. Senator, we
know you have to appropriate gigantic
sums of money, but why don't you wake
up to what is actually happening The
people are ready to make sacrifices. La
Dor is ready. Maybe few labor union
leaders aren't but most everybody else is
This war may last long, long time and
we simply cannot go on at the present
rate without bankruptmg and disrupting
America.
Let's save America and Democracy
from outside enemies and at the same
time, let's be sure that we do not lose
right here at home what we are fighting
to preserve. That would be the civiliza-
tons greatest tragedy. The downfall of
Rome would be small in comparison to it,

these repairs.

Gift Mail. 10 Men Overseas
Drops as DeadIine Nears

Suggesting that most Washing
ton people sending Christmas pack
ages to servicemen overseas appar-
emily had done their mailing early.
Postmaster Vincent Burke said the
post ONCE is receiving fewer parcels
now than 1t did a week ago. Sun
day is the deadline for getting
Christmas packages of to men in
foreign service.
Mr.. Burke offered advice to those
who mailed their Christmas gifts
during the last few days in Sep
tember and the first few days Of
October because of a Navy an
nouncement last week that a cargo
ship carrying 1896 sacks, largely
containing Christmas packages, was
torpedoed. To people mailing pack
ages during this period, he pointed
out that a duplicate gift would pro-
vide an insurance for a merry
Christmas, since there is no way of
telling which packages got through.
According to the Army Postal
Service, 1896 tons Of, mail was sent
to the American armed forces overt
seas during the first rs days of Octd
her. :
Christmas packages for soldiers
serving IN the continental limits; OF
the United States, the Army Postal
Service specifies, should be in the
mail not later than December /.

lndusiriaIists Warned
By Kaiser Not ID 5it
On Lid Of Progress
ShipbuiIder Demonds
Defensive Ideo' Be
Dropped in Production
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Oct. 3O.-Henry ].
Kaiser, the West Coast mass produc-
ton shipbuilder, told hundreds of
industrialists last night that people
cannot sit ON the lid Of progress and
that III they do they win be blown
to pieces"
Declaring "the defensive idea''
must be dropped from production,
he told conference of the Associ-
ated Industries Of Massachusetts,
that he had found from his own ex-
periences that:
THE old shipyards have not ex-
actly agreed with the new ship
yards; the old cement industry did
its utmost to keep out the new; the
old steel industry has resisted inno-
vation and expansion; the airplane
industry has not exactly welcomed
the suggestion that things might be
bigger and better-all of this is un-
derstandable.
Tells Of Own Ventures.
But no man can sing America
with a clear conscience who lets
these factors influence his enter
prise"
Telling Of his own ventures into
the construction or operation of air
cargo ships, shipyards, chemical,
magnesium, steel and sand plants,
among others, Mr.. Kaiser declared: !:
I'm each instance I went into
industries which I felt to be at
least partially outmoded, where I
felt that the introduction of modern
methods would serve the war pur-
poses of the Nation.
In very few instances did the

owners and managers Of the out
moded plants either offer to do the
Job themselves or cooperate with
US in doing It: and, I repeat -
that American business and in
dustry, caught by the war at the
end of = period of political mis-
fortune, have had difnculty in re-
alizing that the days of caution and
self defense are over"
Must Go ALL Out Now.
He said MY own strong convic-
ton is that managers and investors
who viii not 60 all-out now, taking
q chance on their own survival, are
unworthy Of survival"
Earlier, in an interview, Mr..
Kaiser said that he and his asso-
ciate, Howard Hughes, the famous
flyer, would have giant airship,
Weighing "at least" 40 tons, ready
for . test flight in Is months, and
he added:
ITS my belief that the Govern
ment will 60 on with the mass pro-
duction of those ships"
Asserting that 1t had been sug-
gested by some one that he (Kaiser)
devote his efforts ito securing raw
materials rather than have the au-
dacity to make use of some of the
Nations shipbuilding yards, he de-
clared:
''The solution Is that we be per-
mitted to furnish both the raw ma
terials and manufactured aircraft
Where Shortage Exists.
He emphasized, however, that he
wanted only to manufacture those
raw materials of which there was q
shortage and that he wanted indus
trialists all over the Nation to do
likewise.
This Is exactly what was done in
shipbuilding which made our own
shipbuilding records possible" said
Mr.. Kaiser, who has declared his
recent launching Of vessel in 10
days was definitely not a stunt
- we'll beat 10 days by consid-
erable."
He also stated that speed records
like the Today job had tended to
reduce the average time of ship
building from keel-laying to launch
ing, and that in one of his eight

Jim Browns can play interesting

obliged the local baseball bugs by
pitching two hitter against the
fast stepping Bombers and further
helped his cause by parking one of
Pitcher Davis slants on the Coli

80 for the Gophers.
In the second game the local en-
trants crossed bats with the ia
nous Ethiopian Clowns, and things
weren't so rosy for the home boys
who looked like a beaten team as
soon as the Clowns walked on the
field. They committed two errors
in the first inning to allow the
visitors to score 4 runs but came
back in their half of the inning to
score runs and the Clowns took
the game 1875.
The boys will be away from
home for the next month and when
they return will meet the Birming-

done with. But to fuss back only
prOlOngs the misunderstanding.
Avoid topics of conversation that
bring about friction.
L. M: I want to be a practical
nurse. But my mother thinks I
will be wasting money, and my
husband says that we need the
money at home which is the truth.
Should 1 wait until I am able to
go to work and pay for the train
ing myself or talk him into it now?
Ans: There is no finer or more
honorable profession than that of a
nurse. But the place for you to
use your nursing ability is right at
home with your two children. Your
husband is not financially able to
have someone come in and take
care of the children while you take
this course in nursing. When your
children reach school age, you will
probably find time to take up this
profession. I strongly recommend
that you take the Red Cross Course
in First Aid .. which would be of
great service to you in the rearing
of your children.
M. M. D.: I love my husband,
my child and my home. But they
worry me. I am worried and ner-
vous all the time. My son is only
9 years old but he is hard-headed.
My husband goes off all the time
and 1 know he does not go to
church day and night. He has not
said over 80 words to me this week.
Please tell me something to ease
my wearied mind.
Ans: You are suffering from
the lack of diversion and relaxa-
ton. You insist on staying cOOped
up in the home year in and year
out with no outside interests. Then
mintentiOnally, you take your ir-
ritability out on your husband and
child. Set aside at least one day
each week to be called your own.
Join various wOmen's clubs, church
organizations and school activities.
1t will give you brighter outlook
on life and have a tendency to
make your husband appreciate you
far more than you feel he does at
the present time.
