It is one thing to say that North
Carolina is definitely headed to-
ward livestock production and quite
another thing to be able to prove
it. The facts are by now so well
established, however, that only that
person who will see no good in
southern farming would deny the
trend to beef, dairy, ewine, poultry
and swine production.
AS a matter of fact greater
interest in sheep growing also is
apparent and as our farmers
learn to grow sod crops and pas
tures, and as they quit selling their
grains and oil meals to other Sec
lions. but, instead use them for
feeding their own animals, that
balanced type of farming for which
our leading men have pleaded so
long seems destined to come to
pass. am led TO make such a
statement by reason of what I have
seen all over the state this past
spring, and by studying the week.

patch from Zurich today said Pope
Plus XII replied negatively three
days ago to a request of Benito Mus
solini, now heading a puppet Fascist
regime in Nazi-controlled Northern
Italy, for resumption of relations
with the Vatican.
Mllssolini is supposed to have de-
clared that the Lateran treaty re-
storing the papal state in 1929 was
concluded with the Fascist party
and not the King of Italy.
The Vatican, the dispatch said,
replied that the pact was concluded

a strictly neutral state the Vatican
was unable to recognize any govern
ment not existing before the war.

More Than Machinery

Fortunately for the Allied war effort, thii
country has done better job OF producing
ccal than England. Comparison of output re-
veals some startling figures.
In 1898, Great Britain had 781 900 coal min
ers. They mined 262, 759, 900 tons of COAL or
roughly, 1886 net tons per man. In the same
year. the United States mad 1870 miners
vino produced nearly 100000, 900 tons of coal
or an average of about 100 net tons per man.
Since the start of the war, British coal mines
have turned out less coal each year, while
American mines have turned out progressively
more.
During 1913, 100000 British miners dug 227
100000 tons-321 tons per man. In the same
year, 50O, 900 American miners produced $780,
0G0, 900 tons-1 $50 net tons per man. In the
crucia, war year of 1943, British miners pro
duced less coal per man than in 1891.
This comparison is tribute to American
ccal men and their methods. Those methods
are founded on the same competitive system
by which all American business has developed

Leyte-

American forces have already liberated
eleven towns on Leyte island and are forcing
the enemy into trap which, when and if it
closes, will eradicate large force and give
the invading forces of General Macarthur a
ranglehold on Japanese in the Philippines.
A brief outline Of conditions on the island
itself should be interesting. The data is provid.
ed by the National Geographic Society.
Leyte island lies about midway between Lu-
the archipelago Ranking eighth ir area among
the 1908 links Of the Philippine chain Leyte
is more than twice as big as the state of
Rhode Island.
Approached from the east through the broad
expanse of Leyte gulf, the island offers anchor
ages in the several bays and coves that notch
the eastern shore line. Largest inlet of the
gulf is San Pedro bay, haven shaped by
tn east coast of Leyte and the southwest coast
of one neighboring island Of Samar, separated
from Leyte by the Strait Of San Juanico Near
the head of the bay is Tacloban, Leyte's capt.
tai and principal port. Seasonal winds affect
the safety Of all the harbors.
Besides Tacloban, now in American hands,
the chief towns on the east coast, from south
to north, are Hinunangan. at the mouth Of
the Malaga River; Dulag, copra shipping point,
and Tanauan and Palo - the latter about five
miles south Of the capital
Roughly an hourglass in outline, Leyte is
about 100 miles long. It's waist is narrowed to
IS miles by deep bites of Leyte Gulf and the
Camotes Sea. Mountains ridge the interior,
and rise to the 4,400-foot peak of Mt. Lobi in
the north. Some mountains are extinct vol
canoes. Forests cover the mountain slopes.
One Of the best cultivated of the Philippines,
Leyte grew cotton and corn, tended coconut
plantations for oil and copra, and looked to its
extensive abaca areas for the valuable fibers
to be made into ropes and cables. Sugar and
coffee were also important yields, and rice
was grown for home USE From the forests
came danmar, the ''brea'' Or pitch Of the
Spaniards. Small ships were built at Taclo-
ban.
Mineral wealth included gold, silver, lead,
iron, and sulphur. Sulphur from Leyte's mines
supplied Manila's powder works when the city
Was under Spanish rule.
Roads parallel the central and northern Sec
lions Of the east coast, and connect with cross
island and west coast arteries. Feeders
branch from the coastal highway in the north
into the interior.
Civil government was established on Leyte
after the Spanish-American war. Native flare
ups occurred in 1905 and 1905. Prewar popu-
lahon was about $4,000. ~..----.

Mud-Slinging

The term, mud Singing is with US again
and is being mouthed daily in criticism Of
candidates for office. Too often il a speech
doesn't please-or maybe strikes home-it is
classed as lust mud-slinging."
What is "nud-slinging?" Webster fails to de-
f;1e it. Literally, it is the hurting Of mud,
dirt, and filth that bespatters the recipient.
officially, it is the hurting Of charges that
are untrue, misleading, or unfair, and which
besmirch an opposing candidate.
Before crying "mud-slinging." on E should
weigh what has been said. Is it true? Is it
ticking unfair advantage? If the answers are
Eyes and no. then it can hardly be called
''mud-slinging."
Think before using this overworked term.
Try to distinguish it from honest and needed
statements of fact. The word is too often used
as is much profanity-either thoughtlessly or
for lack of an adequate vocabulary.

Hitler has now taken the last of his available
German manhood-not just the able-bodied
males, but also those between 16 and go who

into Volkssturm This is the guerrilla army
which is to defend every ditch and bush, per-
haps even after the Wehrmacht has surrend-
cred.
If anyone doubted that Hitler would take
desperate measures in his desperate plight,
here is convincing proof. But all he can gain
IS time. In return for it he will destroy more
and more of the German people. band Of
youthful and aging guerrillas, hastily assem-
bied, can harass and kill and disrupt, to be
SIRE. But they cannot win Hitler's lost war;
And what will happen to Germany's agri-
cultural and industrial production when these
motley troops leave field and factory for the
last stand against the invading Allies? Can

dren, and hostile foreign workers keep Ger
many going for long?
Obviously not. But Hitler is bent only on
prolonging destruction. Nothing will satisfy his
sadistic nature but that the end of his swollen
ambition shall have the shambles of a bleed
irg Europe as its setting. Whether the blood
be Of enemy or countryman is all the same
to him.
