Truly Logical

"F'or many reasons, Ashe was the logi-
cal CHOICE for the states new dairy, beef
cattle and sheep test farm, observes The
Skyland Post of West jefferson. The Post
cites some of the reasons that paramount
ed Ashe county in an editorial which The
Citizen reproduces elsewhere on this page
today. We subjoin each and every argu-
ment
Of particular pertinence, however, is the
following observation which The Posts
editorial makes:
The predominance of tobacco and cot
ton raising has been one of the greatest
drawbacks to the progress of agriculture
in the state, and to remedy this condition,
the state department of agriculture, the
extension service and State college have
been promoting dairying and livestock
raising throughout North Carolina
Much we would say, remains to be
done. But no one who remembers the
anxious effort for crop and farm produce
"diversification" in other years would fail
to acknowledge that vast progress has been
made Happily, this is true IN many parts
of the formerly one=crop South. North
Carolina has been pleased to show it's sister
states the way in some instances.
The various state agencies which are
striving to develop new agricultural meth
DDS and new uses for agricultural products
are to be commended for their energy and
ingenuity. Ashe county's new test farm
will be a reminder that that county leads
all others in beef and sheep production and
ranks second in the number of dairy cattle.
AS state we are just beginning to realize
our potentialities as one of the greatest,
and eventually one of the most prosperous,
agricultural regions in the country.

harmony and we believe they will.

.Dairying Is Now
Big Enterprise

Dairying is destined to become
a leading farm enterprise in
North Carolina because all the
requirements for successful milk
production can be met here, says
John A. Arey, Extension dairy
man at N. G. State College.
"Our climate and our soils
make it possible to Craze COWS on
a combination of permanent and
temporary pastures approximate
ly three-fourths of the year. Dur
ing the war years, when milk is
so badly needed, we should re-
double our efforts to have maxi
mum grazing for every milk COW
in the State" he said.
'For the winter and semi-Win-
ter months an abundance of good
quality legume hay should be
provided, two tons for each cow
is not too much. This will keep
up the mineral needs of the cow
and furnish valuable protein to
make milk. It's bulk is also valu-
able as an aid to the proper di-
gestion of more concentrated
feeds.
'Where five or more cows are
kept it is practical to provide 81
lage for them. Three to four
tons of silage should be provided
for each mature COW. This pro-
vides succulence and cheap
source of nutrients for milk pro-
duction. An acre of corn fed
through a silo will make more
gallons of milk than any other
way it can be fed," he continued.
Grain is essential, but should
be balanced with the roughage.
It should be so mixed as to sup
ply the nutritional needs of the
cow not met by the roughage that
is being fed. High protein hay
and reasonably low protein grain
will give excellent results. Low
protein hay and high protein
grain will give fairly good re-
suits. Remember there is no
substitute for high quality le-
gume hay.
IF our dairy cows are given
all these desirable feeds, housed
in comfortable barns and treated
with kindness, maximum milk
production can be expected"
Arey concluded.

Give To The Red Cross

The annual Red Cross War Fund Drive
opens in this county tomorrow and every
citizen should consider it a real opportuni
ty to contribute to this worthwhile cause.
Never in history has the service of Red
Cross been so great. To men in service, to
prisoners of war; to less fortunate people
in occupied countries, the Red Cross ex-
tends helping hand. We, who are safe
at home, should open our hearts and our
pocketbooks and be as generous as posi-
BILE; for it is only through the Red Cross
that we can be of worldwide aid in this
present crisis.
This county has a quota of $6,6O0
Surely this should not be so hard to raise
when we consider the hundreds of men and
women from this county, now in service.
Remember, the Red Cross is at their side
and the Red Cross is you'll Think of this
and be liberal in your donation.
Remember, ninety percent of the Red
Cross funds raised during this drive is us
ed to serve men and women in the armed
forces. Let's show the men and women in
the service that we are backing them one
hundred percent through the Red Cross.
Never before in the history of Red
Cross, has it needed so badly the support
of every loyal American citizen, for: only
through this support can it carry out the
tremendous task that lies ahead. And
surely this task must be carried on just as
men are carrying on amid the din and
death on the battle fronts. Again, we say
make your gift as generous as possible.

The Crisis Has Passed

We are elated that the crisis which sud-
national government last week over the
taxation question has abated and thst out
of it is growing a better understanding and
appreciation between Congress and the
Chief Executive.
With our nation in the midst of the
greatest war in history, it is deeply regret
table that such crisis should have devel-
oped at this time and it seems to us that
both sides were partly'in error, with Pres
ident Roosevelt carrying the major share
of this mistake: a..
The breach between Congress and the
President had been brewing for the past
several months over the three primary is
sues Of food subsidies, soldier vote and
taxation, and it reached climax when the
Democratic Majority Leader, Senator
Barley became Infatuated over the blist-
ering spanking that President Roosevelt
gave members of Congress in tax veto
message, denounced the charges and re-
signed as party leader.
" ~
Doughton likewise parted company with
the President with the explanation that he
refused to 60 along with dictator.
This revolt resulted from an unjust
criticism of congressional members. Roose-
welt described the tax bill that Congress
had passed as being "tax relief bill pro-
viding relief not for the needy but for the
greedy"
Those were fighting words and Barley
and Doughton promptly took up the fight
in the Senate and House respectively. AS
was to be expected, both branches of Con-
gress voted to override the veto by over
whelming majorities.
Mr.. Roosevelt was smart enough to
realize his unfortunate mistake and quick

ly urged his right-hand man in the Senate
to reconsider and accept reelection as
majority leader, which he did,
Following the acceptance, Senator Bark
would bring the legislative and executive
departments of the government closer to-
gether to the lend that we may win this
terrible war at the earliest possible mo-
ment' We urged in letter to President
Roosevelt that 1--WE must all seek some
common ground upon which we can meet
and have confidence in one another"
The President had asked Congress to
increase taxes by at least ten billion dol
lars. After months of conferences, the con-
gress passed bill providing for an addi-
tional increase of little over two billion
dollars instead of ten and bringing the
governments total annual tax collections
up for this year to an estimated forty 1.-TWO
billion.
This newspaper agrees with the Presi-
dent that we could and should be paying
more on the war costs today. We are
spending around one hundred billion dol
lars per year and collecting only about
forty per cent that much At the same
time, our national income this year will be
nearly one hundred and fifty billion dol
lars and we could afford to pay more
But Congress, on the other hand, took
long-range view of this vital question.
They concluded that many classes of peo-
pie, whose incomes have not been greatly
increased could not pay any more taxes;
that if additional taxes were imposed now,
they would probably never be removed
and that when the national income drops,
as it surely will to the pre-war levels of
less than one hundred billion, very few of
the individuals or corporations could pay
the high taxes This situation, it was fear
ed, would result in collapse or destruc-
ton of our system of government. Con-
gress further contended that the nation
could better afford to borrow money than
to run the risk of breaking the backs of it's
taxpayers.
It is regrettable that under our system
OF government it seems to be an impossi-
bility to ever get taxes lowered and remov-
ed. They are always going higher and
higher. We do not seem to have learned
the important lesson that they should be-
come flexible and vary in accordance with
conditions surrounding the ups and downs
of income
Despite the battle between the congress
and executive departments, harmony pre-
walls today and we do not think any serious
damage has resulted in our international
diplomatic relations. We hope the Presi-
more closely together in the future. They
are both, thank God, strong and are able to

between the President and con-
gress considerably widened, and
sent to the White House, bill to
put an end to most farm subsi-
dies promptly vetoed) and a bill
to increase taxes by only about
one fifth of the amount requested
by the President.
Although part of the differences
between the desires of the exc
cutive branch and the legislative
branch can be traced to politics,
it is also apparent that congress
and the President are growing
farther and farther apart in their
philosophy of government.
Ever since President Roosevelt
entered the White House he has
encouraged plans to take money
from the rich to improve the con-
dition of the poor. The fact that
the subsidy bill and the tax bill
went to his desk during the same
week emphasized these Robin
Hood tactics. For his attitude on
these two measures made it clear
that, although he insisted on more
government income, which would
be collected from those in higher
income brackets, he was entirely
unwilling to discontinue a gov
eminent expense which, in his
opinion, was needed to improve
the conditions of a low income
group.
When the new tax bill was be-
ing drawn up, the administration,
through the treasury department,
set high tax goal of $l0,500,000,
000-but, although the treasury
admitted that four-fifths of the
national income is now going to
families earning under $4,000 a
year, it suggested that additional
revenue be collected from the re-
naming one-fifth. In fact the
treasury proposed excusing g.
100000 low-income taxpayers
from any further tax by elimin-
ating the Victory tax plan. If
it had merely been a matter of
more revenue, congress could
easily have been persuaded to
pass a sales tax which would
have provided most of the 10 bill
lion, but the administration op-
posed this because it did not
want an additional burden put on
families of low income.
It is not the function of this
column to agree or disagree with
decisions of congress or of the
President, but only to try to pre-
sent some of the facts which
seem to stand out in high relief
on the Washington scene. But it
is apparent to any observer here
that this policy of putting more
and more restrictions on one
group while showing increasing
generosity toward another is one
from which the President will
never waver. It is also becoming
more and more apparent that
congress has gone about as far
as it wants to in that direction.
If it were not for the war, this
question of how far government
should go in putting ceilings on
high incomes and how far it
should 60 in giving help to low
income groups would probably
he one of the chief points of con-
tention in the presidential cleo
ton. 1t is undoubtedly the one
outstanding domestic issue which
will determine the kind of a coun-
try we will have in the future.
But with the war overshadowing
all other issues at the present
time, there is little chance that
