"Sone figures in the report

conservation program to fit war

said. "Since the war began, the
AAA has emphasized those prac-
tees which would contribute most
to immediate increases in produc-

Also, practice payments are no
longer made for practices which
have become routine. The pres

immediate increases in produc-

the bat, which flies in the dark without
humping into things, is protected by an
electrical mechanism which is comparable
to radar.
Studies in such fields as these indicate
future developments in the understanding
of some of the mysteries of life which may
be more amazing than anything which has
been accomplished in the mechanical or
scientific world. And they also prove once
again that no matter what great inventions
man may concoct, those inventions are
merely poor substitutes for things which
have long ago been perfected by nature.

School Days Are Here

School days are here again for Ashe
county teachers, students and parents, at
ter a slight delay caused by the infantile
paralysis epidemic. While the parents will
not attend, they, too, must have the inter-
est of the school and the children at heart,
if it is to be successful in every way. No
doubt most parents will guard the health OF
the children more closely because of the
recent epidemic, and health is an impor-
tant factor at all times. A child, who does
not feel well, will not make as much pro-
gress in school as those who do. Parents
should see to it that every child has the
proper food and sufficient sleep. Parents
can also help the children by showing an
interest in their school work.
To the teachers and Students we extend
our best wishes for successful school
year. This paper is always interested in
the schools of this county and is anxious
to serve them in every way possible. We
believe the schools are among the county's
finest institutions.
The war has brought about some priva-
tons and changes in the schools. But we
are thankful, that here in America, there
is no rationing or curling of free speech or
the other freedoms on which democracy IS
founded. Ashe county children, along with
millions of others in America, should be-
gin the new school year with renewed
thankfullness that they live and are being
educated in America, the land of the free.
In no other country could they find the ad-
vantages which it offers

Pulpwood An Important
Crop


'This is a crop I'll never neglect again,
many farmers today are saying of pulp
wood because of their experience during
the last year.
Many farmers starting thinning their
woodlands year ago in response to Gov
eminent appeals and because it was pa
triotic thing to do. Now they are keeping
it up because they've found pulpWood cut
ting is also good business.
A year ago Secretary of Agriculture
Claude Wickard observed that many Amer
lean farmers shave a forgotten crop that
can be harvested any time" in an appeal
for greater pulpwood production. Today
he would have to change his description of
pulpwood. It is no longer "a forgotten
CROP"
Lots of farmers have War Bonds to
show for the pulpwood they have sold IN
the last year. Others have new farm equip
ment or cancelled mortgages. All have
improved woodlands if they thinned their
trees properly.
Pulpwood has been life saver for many
small farmers who heretofore relied on
single crop for their livelihood. Too often
a perverse weather-a long drought or Sc
we're storm-wiped out their seasons work
before harvest time.
Patriotism often pays in cash as well
as in the satisfaction of knowing that one
is serving his country.

Save Waste Paper

The waste paper drive, sponsored by
the Ashe Post of the American Legion, is
well underway The initial response has
been good; but there is still more waste pa
per to be collected. Next Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 20, has been designated as Honor
Roll Day" in the drive and citizens of Ashe
county are asked to collect waste paper and
turn it in on that day in honor of Ashe
county men in service.
This county has hundreds of men who
are now fighting for liberty and democrat
cy Surely it is not too much to ask that
we save waste paper to aid in the war eff
fort.
There is still a dire shortage of paper
due to the ever-increasing demand which
has reached unheard of tonnages. Paper
has gone to war by the hundreds and thou
sands of tons, in the form of containers for
foods, medicines, blood plasma, and similar
packaged supplies. More than 100000 diff
ferent items are shipped to the Army in
paper wrappings or boxes That's why so
much is needed and needed urgently. And
that's why each individual home front
American, each family, has definite, inn
mediate responsibility.
Let's all collect and turn in some extra
waste paper on Honor Roll Day." next

Land Sales Are
Well Attended

The two valuable pieces of
farm property, near Jefferson,
which were sold at auction this
week, brought what were con-
sidered good prices and in spite
of cold rainy weather, both sales
were well attended. 1t was no
ticeable, however, that the rainy
weather kept number of the us

Mrs. Eula Meals home and
farm, containing 1873 acres, was
sold to R. C. Miller, of Wilkes

Peace In Our Hands

With the end of the war in sight, people
are beginning to think Of the day when re-
adjustment to peace can be made. Part OF
that reimbursement must include new con-
ception of the United States in relation to
the rest of he world. Hereafter, the pro-
blems of the world are our problems If
there is another war, we will be in it.
It is our responsibility to help lay the
foundation of enduring peace by seeking
to reestablish equal trading opportunity
and free markets. Admittedly, this may
take time, but failure means another world
depression and another world war, in the
opinion of J. B. Condliffe, Professor of Eco
Monies in the University of California who
declares that: "The whole case for expand
ing international trade is that there is gain,
not loss, to the national economies partici-
pating in such trade. In the circumstances
of the immediate postwar period it does not
require much reflection to realize that not
loss but disaster, is threatened if the chan
nels of trade cannot be re-opened promptly.
There is little chance of relatively smooth
conversion from war to peace economy un-
less this conversion can be carried out in
an expanding system of international COL
laboration.
"In the successive emergencies of recent
years so much stress has necessarily been
laid upon the regulation of all sorts of prices
that the more important necessity of main
tanning active and healthy markets has
come to be forgotten. The foundation of
prosperity is abundant and free inter-
change, no nicely regulated equity.
"It is as unrealistic to consider national
economic activity apart from it's interna-
tional repercussions as it is to draw dis
tinction today between the home front and
the battle lines. The connection between
domestic and international economic policy
is so intimate that for many practical pur-
poses they continue single entity"
The future is in the hands of the Ameri-
can people. If they will but inform them
selves and act wisely upon the strength of
their information, lasting peace is within
reach. No other people have ever been
blessed with such an opportunity or obi
cation.

Although the nature of their past
executive work differs, it is all work
which should bring to their new
volunteer jobs helpful experience.
Mrs. Donaldson, the former Elinor

practiced landscape architecture in
Fairfield, Conn, and in 1888 she
and her family moved to Washing
