County Has High
Percentage Of
Youth Population

Ashe county ranks 31st in North
Carolina in the percentage OF
youth population under 81 years
of age and 57th in numerical
youth population under 81 years
of age, according to figures COM
piled by the bureau of census.
Ashe has a youth population
under voting age of 81 years of
11,196, or 49.4 percent of the coun-
TVS total population of 22,664.
With percentage of 46, North
Carolina ranks first in the nation
in the youthfulness of its popula-
ton and Ashe is three percent o.
yer the state average.
At the same time, it is pointed
out that nearly half of the states
population lives on the farm,
46.4 percent.
With a very high youth popu-
lation and a very low per capita
financial income, it is pointed out
that the state needs federal as
sistance in education.

Care In Milking
Means Full Pals

Along with other things, good
milking is a factor not to be over
looked by North Carolina dairy
men in attaining their 1912 milk
goal, explains John A. Arey, Ex-
tension dairy specialist Of N. C..
State College.
For instance, he says, many
low herd averages and individual
cow records can be attributed to
careless, inefficient milking. The
dairy cow has a sensitive, nervous
system which reacts quickly to
adverse conditions such as irreg-
ular milking, rough handling, slow
incomplete milking, and sudden
changes of almost any kind.
A practical application of the
following rules will result in a
substantial increase in the 1912
milk production in this State:
Milking at the same hour with
very few minutes variation is of
vital Importance for full and COM
plete productions.
The order of milking cows in
the barn should be mapped out
carefully. Cows that "let their
milk down" first should be MIXED
first
When the milking is begun. it
must progress rapidly to compile
ton. Four to not more than seven
minutes can be occupied in the
milking process. Slow milking
results in decreased production.
When the milking is completed
or if the cow stops secreting it
is time to stop milking. Too much
stripping or prolonged manipula-
ton develops "stripers."
The temperament of the mixer
and the handler of the cows is
important. Fear, suspicion, and
excitement should not be aroused.
Nothing should appear in the
barn before or during milking to
detract the cows attention. Rough
milking should be avoided.
It is of vital Importance that
nothing be done that stimulates
milk '1et down" any consider
able time in advance of milking.

Donald Nelson, head of the War Pros
duction Board has a slogan which can be
a determining factor in winning the war.
The slogan, which he is applying to every
move he makes, is:
"A YEAR FROM NOW - WHAT
WILL WE WISH WE HAD DONE TO-
DAY?"
Another slogan of similar nature that
has become popular is, "Tomorrows bat
ties will be won today"
Think over these slogans and apply
them not only to the national picture, but
also let's apply them to ourselves, to our
own activities.
A year or 10 years from now, will you
be saying, II wish had done this or that?"
Even if we win, and we must, will you
have regrets? VIII your neighbors be crit
icizing you for showing lack of patri-
otism? What about your attitude towards
entering the armed service? What about
your purchase of war bonds and stamps?
What about your cooperation with the
rationing programs? What about your CO.
operation with the salvage programs, the
Victory garden drive, and SO on?
And perhaps most important of all,
what about your attitude, your patriotic
expressions or lack of patriotic express
sions?
With the advent of tire, sugar and gas
oline rationing, price ceilings, and other
control measures, every one of us is be-
ginning to feel the affects of war.
We are making sacrifices, yes, but we
are just learning the first lesson in sacri-
flee. We are going to have to make many
more before we win . before we save
our farms, homes, businesses and our Dem
ocratic institutions, our way of freedom
and liberty from destruction.
What about the sacrifice that our boys
in the front ranks of the army navy and
air corp are making? Can any sacrifice be
greater than theirs?
This is a total-war, and about wor.
Materials that we have been using in our
daily lives are and must be limited and
used in the war of survival We can't have
business as usual and Victory, too! The
people of France wanted both, and what
did they get? What do they have now?
The attitude of every individual in
America industrial laborer, farmer,
merchant, manufacturer, public official
school teacher, preacher, doctor, lawyer, :.
everybody is essential today for Victory
tomorrow.
The challenge comes to each one of us.
The opportunity of helping to do our part"
is upon us and everyone is watching to
see how we do this part. Do you want Vic
tory or do you just want to sit back and
grumble and let "John do it?" The chal-
lenge is upon you, upon us?

SERMONETTES in
RHYME
COME UNTO ME"
By Martin v. Craft

(Come unto me, all we that labor and
are heavy laden and will give you rest
Matthew, 1929
Are you bowed down with pain and grief
Misunderstanding unbelief?
Do trials sore beset your way?
Does evil in your life hold sway?
Come unto me without delay;
"Come unto me-.
If you do wrong when you would not
And disappointment is your lot,
If loved ones leave you all alone
With heart as heavy as stone
And you are made to weep and moan;
"Come unto me-.
If friends betray your sacred trust
And you're accused of things unjust,
If gossipmongers spread their lies
And storms of doubt and fear arise,
The loving Savior hears your cries;
"Come unto me-.
If sickness comes with all it's woes,
The loving Savior knows, He knows!
"Come unto me" your Lord knows best,
"Come unto me-" and you are blest,
"Come unto me - I'll give you rest!
"Come unto me-"
For ready help in time of need
In all mistakes of word or deed,
In all misfortunes woe and strife,
In circumstance with sadness rife,
For refuge from broken life;
"Come unto me-.

Our Farm Situation

A study of the 1910 Census of Agricul-
ture report for Ashe county and a COM
parison of this county with the ninety-n.ne
other counties in North Carolina reveals
some surprising and significant informa-
ton.
The total value in 1889 of the farm,
livestock, and poultry products that were
sold and used by the farm household in
this county was $1,557, 12300. The total
for the state was 262, 437 677OO, and our
rank per county in the total value of these
products was 39th.
Of this $1,557, 123OO, 1868 percent, or
1922, $4,000, represent cash crops that were
sold; livestock and livestock products sold
represent 35.1 percent Of the total value, or
$544,99295; forest products sold represent
only is percent, or about $4,000 and pro-
ducts raised but consumed in the farm
home represent 46.6 percent, nearly one
half of the total value.
With over 1000 farms in the county,
the average total output per farm in crops,
livestock, poultry and forest products was
only $375.OO.
Now how do we compare with other
counties in the state? The average agri-
cultural and livestock income per farm in
North CaroliprIla in 1853 was $4,000, which
was considerably lower than the average
for the nation, Our average of only $375
places us next to the bottom of all coun-
ties in the state; eirr1fAct Cherokee is the
only other county below Us.
In percentage Of farm crops sold, we
ranked 18th. In the percentage of live
stock and livestock products sold, we rank
ed fourth, exceeded only by Allegheny,
Mecklenburg, and Dare counties. In per-
centage of forest products, our rank is 25th.
They are bright sides of the picture,
but the dark side overshadows the bright.
The total value of farm products, live
stock and livestock products, poultry, for
est products-sold and consumed in Ashe
county in 1889 only averaged $375.OO per
farm.
North Carolina farm income per fami-
ly ranks 10th in the nation and we rank
next to Cherokee, yes, next to the bottom
of the list in the state.
Of course, there are a large number
of very small farms in the county
farms that are entirely too small for a
family to live on and they pull down the
average of the majority.
Something is surely wrong. We have
good fertile valleys, excellent grasslands,
good climate and can raise everything.
We have fine people, but still something
is wrong.
Isn't that adequate proof that we need
to teach agriculture and livestock raising
in our public schools? Isn't it adequate
proof that we need to work harder and do
more planning as farmers? Isn't it proof
that we need to boost all farm programs?
Isn't it proof that we need better market
ing facilities for farm products?
There is a big job to be done to
increase the farm income in Ashe county.
We do not have any industry, our tourist
business is only seasonal and we've got
to make more out of raising cash crops and
out of livestock and milk products. Be-
sides living at home, our farmers have got
to make more money.
These figures present a challenge to
all leaders.

Men With Dependents May
Be Called To Duty Soon
Buy Defense Bonds

WASHINGTON,-Many men
with dependents may be sum-
moned to military duty this sum-
mer in line with the new instruc-
tions to local draft boards for
more drastic action" to meet the
growing man-power needs of the
armed forces.
Officials noted that the instruct
ions of national selective service
headquarters to the local boards
followed estimates by Major Gen
eral Lewis B. Hershey, the nat
ional director, that existing quotas
of men Immediately available to
meet the expanding army's de-
mands would be exhausted before
fall.
Furthermore, General George
c. Marshall, army chief of staff,
has predicted that summer will
see army training Of recruits step
ped up to 10000 a month. No fl
CURES on the current rate Of in
auctions have been made public.
In anticipation of the time when
large numbers Of men with de-
pendents may have to be called
the army has asked Congress for
legislation providing government
payments and allotments from
soldiers pay to dependents. A
pending measure would provide
$40 a month for wife and $40
additional for each child; $35 a
month for one parent, or $45 for
two.
Preliminary to calling men now
deferred because of dependents
local boards were told to group
chose with families into two clas-
ses, those employed in essential
war activities and those not so in
gagged. This new classification, it
was directed, should be applied
first to those between SO and A;
inclusive, who registered on Feb
ruary Is.
Those deemed to be not en-
gagged in essential activities will
be the first selected when it be-
comes necessary to induct men
with dependents.
National headquarters also adj
vised that no deferment be allow
ed men who married since Pearl
Harbor, who took wives with the
primary purpose" of avoiding
military service or whose wives
had been providing adequately
for their own support but who
quit their jobs "for the primary
purpose of affording basis for
dependent deferment."
The memorandum sent out by
the board, however, emphasized
that before men deferred for de-
tendency are indicted "there will
first be selected all men who can
be made available for military
service under current policies and
standards"
The instructions established
two classes for registrants defer
red for dependency-Classes "a
and BIB.
Class ga new is defined as
"any registrant upon whose earn
ings one or more persons depend
for support in a reasonable man.
err and who is notengaged in any
activity either essential to the war
production program or essential
to the support of the war effort. y
Glass 3-B is "any registrant up
on whose earnings one or more
persons depend for support in g
reasonable manner and who is en-
gagged in an activity either essen
tial to the war production pro
gram or essential to the support
of the war effort"
