Ashe County Makes Record In Food Production
Reports OF 1913
Show Increase In
Vital War Crops
ID airy Products, Poultry,
Sheep, Potatoes, Beans, And
Others Show Big Increase

In the annual report of farm
ing interest for 1913 in Ashe
county, just completed by County
Agent Roy H. Grouse, figures re-
veal that the county made an
outstanding record in increased
production of vital war crops dur
ing the past year.
Worthwhile gains were made
in dairy products, poultry, dairy
feed, sheep, truck crops and ma
ny foods needed in the war eff
fort.
Milk sold to processing plants
in 1943 showed an increase of 90
or 1881 1876 pounds over the 1942
sales. There was also an increase
of 213 in the number of produe-
ers selling milk, the report shows.
Dairy cows were increased from
1913 in 1912 to 1926 in 1943.
The report reveals that pou1-
try production increased from
1881 chickens raised in 1942
to 254,O95 in 1913. Egg produc-
ton, too, showed a big gain of
293,376 dozen for the year.
The bean and vegetable mark
ct, organized the past year, did
much to stimulate the increase in
truck crops needed in the war
effort. The total acreage of
beans increased from 425 to g.
600 acres and potato acreage
jumped from 1900 to 1000.
The seeding of winter legumes
increased from 1850 acres in 1912
to 3,O87 during the past year.
The cooperative marketing of
wool increased 221% over 1912.
The number of growers co-opera-
ting in 1912 was 81 as compared
to 1874 in 1913. Thevpoel- saved
the 1874 growers 81, 120.6O through

Alaska Highway
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)


 The disturbing news that the Haines cutoff, a promising route for combined sea-land traffic into Alaska has been closed to general traffic again accents the need for real Alaska international highway.
 There much to encourage Pacific Coast residents in President Roosevelt's discussion from Bremeron Saturday. of Alaskan and other Pacific problems
 But the inference that the Alcan Highway has disposed of one of the problems of land com munication with Alaska hardly be permitted to go without further attention
 If the Haines road cannot be maintained by agreement with Canada how will it be possible to maintain permanently the much more extensive and much more difficult Acan Highway? And even if the Alcan road were maintained, what would be the utility in peacetime of route roundabout, trav ersing no important territory, and so far removed from the direct and natural north-south route?
 It is encouraging that the President has direced attention to Alaska and to the possibilities it offers for postwar development It is particularly important that the President has touched upon the transporta- ton problem including railway possibilities For surely the development of better transportation faci ties by water by air and by land, among the most important steps that must be taken to insure Alaskas future.
 Canadian cooperation is must" in discussing both air and land routes to Alaska
 Canada like our own country, has a national election in the offng, though its date is yet to be determined And recent provincial elections have indicated the disturbed nature of Canadian politics
 Yet surely whatever the outcome of Canadian elections and our own there should be deep appre- ciaon. both sides of the border of the necessity of better communications and transportation between Alaska, Canada and the continental United States. It is an issue that should above partisan politics insists upon satisfactory solution of all the problems involved.

Britans plan for a new-type secondary school, in which boys and girls from l6 to 18 will earn and learn,' is direct outgrowth of war-learned lesson Industrial educational and military leaders have declared that all citizens of the future must be skilled in vocational work before they leave school The bill before Parliament is designed to correct the situation which existed for generation before this war in which approximately 85 per cent of British children left school before the age of IA The recent decision of the London City Council to recommend ninety modern schools of 2o0Opup capacity each for the London area is in line with the new conception of government responsibility in guaranteeing skilled workers for the future security of the nation.
 Educational leaders in this country are now plan- ming marked expansion of vocational training. With about 75 per cent of the nations youth of secondary school age receiving education, contrasted with

less than 10 per cent 1900 and the prospect that the figure will reach 90 per cent within generation, educators are facing problem which will require a solution in the future All youth should be given
 literary schooling commensurate with their abilities without discriminating as to race, color or creed Brilliant pupils without economic resources will receive help through scholarships and loans. But majority of youth need learn practical sklls with which to make a living The increasing specialization of in dustry and agriculture presents challenge to educational leaders today comparable with that faced by pioneer educators last century, who fought for universal secondary education.

Churchills ties to Lord Halifax Ambassador in Washington, are even deeper.
 Halifax's ancestor, according to Churchill's own account in hls book, conducted a rudimentary form of life insurance. At "A, Marlborough purchased from Lord Halifax for 4,5O0 pounds (given him by the Duchess of Cleveland) an annuity of 500 pounds for life. It was a profitable investment. He enjoyed its fruits for nearly fifty years. It was the foundation of his immense fortune"
 However, the earlier Lord Halifax performed an even greater service for Marlborough, which Winston Churchill has not forgotten. Marl- borough was suspected of treason for communicating with the exiled King James and was thrown into the London Tower by King Will linn of Orange. Churchill tells in his book how, after Marlborough had been in prison six weeks, Lord Halifax did not fail him" and secured his release after putting up bail of 5000 pounds.
 Today, Churchill will never fail the present Lord Halifax.
 NOTE-The Duke of Marlborough, who fought the Battle of Blen- helm against the French, is con- sidered one of England's greatest soldiers. Somewhat like Winston Churchill, he is described as hay ing held together for years an army drawn from every nation in Christendom.'

never have to leave his post as British Ambassador to Washington as long as Churchill is Prime Min ister, for Halifax's ancestor once saved the Duke of Marlborough from jail.
 Likewise, Churchill's friendship for Sir Alexander Cadogan and the latter's appointment as British machinery negotiator date back to the fact that Cadogan's ancestor was chief of staff to the Duke of Marlborough when Marl- borough invaded Ireland in 1890.
 Sir Alexander is now chief Brit ish delegate to the Dumbarton Oaks conference to lay the cornerstone for future world peace.
 Churchill best tells the story him. self in his book on Marlborough.
 William Cadogan Qater Earl If Cadogan), a Dublin lawyer, had WOli MdIlUOIOuBll COlilluciiCc dt the taking of Cork and Kinsale,' , Churchill wrote. Throughout the ten campaigns, he was not only quartermaster general, but what we should call chief of staff and di- rector of intelligence. It was Marl- borough's practice to send with the accommodating cavalry and officer of high rank who knew the com mander-in in-chief's mind and his plans and could observe the enemy through his eyes. Cadogan re- peatedly played this part.
 He shared Marlboroughs fall, refusing to separate himself from the great man to whom I am under such infinite obligations. I would be a monster if I did otherwise T

SUNDAY, AUGUST 27

Benefic aspects should benefit the people today, although adverse in- fluences may cause anxieties and depression
 HEART AND HOME: Through constant praying, families of many religious faiths will find solaGe for the loss of loved ones. A sign read as indicative of spiritual vision should bring assurance to the sor- rowing of the nearness of those on the next plane of consciousness.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Cosmic trends are most encouraging for future trade and commerce. Wise laws are to assure freedom of ex- change of raw materials and unre- stricted sale of manufactured pro- ducts among friendly nations.
 NATIONAL ISSUES. Civil ser vice will be widely discussed in the national political campaign as the army of men and women who bene- fit presents problems for postwar planning. With hundreds of thou sands on Government pay rolls, economies in administering the business affairs of the people will be instituted after the war.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR In the Pacific the month of Octo- Der is to be a time of heavy fight ing by United Nations naval and air forces. An elevated Jupiter seems to presage some improve ment in the situation in India where there will be unrest, especial ly in the northwest provinces. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ex- treme activity and overstrain. Fair ly good fortune will prevail. Al
 Children born on this day should be of outstanding intelligence. Suc- cess will be assured by their mental keenness and spiritual awareness.

SEN. OVERTON'S ISOLATIONIST
 RECORD

Most significant election develop ment of the year has been the in- creasing casualty list of isolation ist or obstructionist members of Congress, including Bennett Clark of Missouri, Worth Clark of Idaho, Cotton Ed" Smith of South Car olina, Lam bertson of Kansas, Starnes of Alabama, and Dies of Texas.
 Now it looks as if the trend were continuing in Louisiana, where Sen- ator John Overton faces the fight of his life. Last time Overton ran for renomination, in 1888. he was unopposed; had only 250 votes cast against him in the final election This time, however, he faces two hard-hitting opponents.
 Difference is that, between 1888 and today, Overton made the mis- take of leading vigorous crusade against Roosevelts attempt to re- wise the Neutrality Act in order to send arms to England. Overton led this. fight, even after war had started in 1889. Again, in 1940 he told Senate colleagues:
 T am not one of those who ex- pect that Hitler will be over here tomorrow or possibly next year"
 While this happened before Pearl Harbor, the people of Louisiana have long memories. Also, Overton has been shown up on occasion by opposing important war legis- lation in the secrecy of the Appro- priations Committee, of which he is a member, until he got certain patronage out of the White House. Thus, he covertly opposed the lend lease bill until the little matter of a U. s. marshal in Louisiana was adjusted. After that he voted for lend-lease.
 All of which is now coming back to haunt him.

MONDAY. AUGUST 28

Although this is not an import ant day in planetary government, adverse aspects are active. Caution should guide important matters.
 HEART AND HOME: This is date on which to avoid signing contracts or leases. Women are subject to influences that cause de- pression and apprehension. They should keep busy. Conditions are suspicious for home interests. par- iticularly preparation and preserva- ftion of food.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Heavy losses through incendiary fires are forecast. Sabotage will be prev alent in widely separated areas as enemy agents succeed in secret acts Tof destruction. The seers warn of Fspies in high places in Washington. D. c. f.5 k NATIONAL ISSUES: Black markets will continue to operate through the Autumn. Despite per- sistent appeals to the patriotism Of the people, pleasure-seekers in large numbers vii indulge in amusements requiring gasoline consumption.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS War weariness will be manifested as the Summer ends. Astrologers who read in the stars the prolongation of conflict on European soil coun- gel elf-discipline that ignores im- pulses destructive to high faith and determined purpose. Victory is cer- tain but it will be costlier than ever imagined.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pros- perity and much happiness, but they should be careful in making new friends.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be most fortunate throughout their lives but they may be inclined to be arrogant and selfish.
