Save Plenty Of
Lespedeza Seed

Growers should save plenty of les
pedeza seed this fall because the
popularity of this hay crop is ncreas-
ing in all sections of North Carolina
and relatively large acreages will be
planted in the spring, says DR.. Emer-
son Collins. the charge of Extension
Agronomy at State College.
Lespedeza is not only proving an
excellent hay crop but it is also being
widely used as temporary grazing
crop for both hogs and cattle. This
year feed crops have been short on
many farms and lespedeza has pro-
vided a backlog of grazing that has
enabled many growers to pull through
in good shape.
Collins notes that the grazing of
hogs on lespedeza, shown by the dem
onstrations conducted by Ellis Vestel,
Extension Swine Specialist, has en-
abled growers to produce some of the
cheapest gains of any method of feed
ing. Only a small amount of corn was
used and a good mineral supplement
was kept before the hogs at all times.
The same was true for demonstra-
tions with hogs on soybeans. Both of
these crops are being widely used for
temporary grazing and, in addition,
provide more than one half of the hay
grown in North Carolina.
With the shortage of labor, live
stock men are turning more and more
tc grazing crops as one of their chief
sources of feed and lespedeza will
continue to be one of the best crops
for this purpose, according to Collins.

THE RAMBLER

We guess it was somewhat of a
surprise to Gov. Tom Dewey that the
people of the United States were not
ready for-'as he continuously stated
1t is time for a change" But in
stead decided it was Roosevelt "again,
again and again!" For the next four
years the Commander-in-Chie will
again occupy the White House and
will be able to meet with the other
leaders of the United Nations and ar
range for lasting and permanent
peace" And they should be sure that
q permanent and lasting peace is fully
guaranteed, and that Hitler, Goebbels,
Himmler, Mussolini, old TOTO and all
the other criminals get everything
that is coming to them-and we don't
mean maybe!

An economic system based on pri-
vate enterprise, Americans believe,
can better serve the common good, not
because it enables some men to en-
rich themselves, but because it devel-
ops high and rapidly rising level Of
living. 1t can best insure the Ameri-
can prosperity so vital to world pros
perity and to world peace. 1t can pro-
vide the maximum economic opportu-
nifty for the largest number of individ-
uals of the community. 1t can foster
the development of the native capac-
ity, ambition and resourcefulness of
the individuals of the community, and
protect the personal freedom and well
being of the individual from the dam
gers inherent in too great a concen-
tration of either private or public
power.

The Lincoln times., 1944-11-16

The privilege and responsibility Of
every citizen in democratic society
is to share in defining the common
good as well as in giving service to
it. The economic system is a tool for
achieving the common good, and in a
free society is shaped, maintained,
and modified by the free choice of the
whole community.
The Lincoln times., 1944-11-16
III

The economic system chosen by the
American community is loosely (often
too loosely called the free-enterprise
system. This system, when it func-
tions properly, permits the maximum
freedom to the individual consistent
with the common good. 1t supports
and reinforces political liberty and
provides the greatest opportunities
for the development of all men and the
attainment of their individual as we'll
as their common aspirations.

To compensate for the weakness of
their individual bargaining position,
wage earners need the right to COM
bine into organizations for collective
bargaining. Provided that the power
of these organizations is not permit
ted to stife technical progress, or un-
July to limit access to jobs, os in othen
ways to be abused, labor unions can
serve the common good,
The Lincoln times., 1944-11-16
".

In democracy there is no place for
private enterprise and there is place
for public enterprise, and it is neces-
sary to clarity basic lines of division
between them. The area for private
enterprise should extend to limit of
the ability of private individuals bet
tel to serve the common good. Beyond
this limit, government enterprise can
better serve that good.
The Lincoln times., 1944-11-16

In that part of the economy where
private enterprise can better serve the
common good, the people through
their government must devise and en-
force rules of the game-reasonably
stable rues that will encourage pri-
vate, voluntary enterprise-rules to
which government itself will adhere
and which government will enforce
rules That intelligent and forward
looking men can understand and un-
der which they can operate for the
common and their own good.

that everything will turn out for the
best and that permanent and last

instigators of this war will receive an
adequate and just punishment.

President Roosevelt has so far been
very emphatic in his statements that
as far as this country is concerned
there would be nothing accepted from
Germany or Japan except "uncondi-
tional surrender" And we believe our
President will see to it that our coun-
try stands firm on that demand, and
We believe with his overwhelming vic
tory over Gov. Dewey, that the Presi-
dent will have greater prestige in the
coming meetings with ChIcchill and
Stain, and we are of the opinion that
the President will see to it that
America does not get the "hot end" Of

opinion that Stain will be much more
bitter toward Germany and will de-
mand severer punishment of the in

Roosevelt or Churchill But, be that
as it may, there will be two to one

Alfalfa Harvest
Needs TOO Men

1t is estimated that 1t will re-

This estimate was reached in Ell

Last year 900 men were needed
to cut, rake, bale, and stack the
baled hay during the 130-day main
harvesting season. Since a 30 per
cent increase in the hay produc-
ton of the valley is expected this
