Union county may not be the
leading county in any one phase OF
farming but. take 1t al in all. there

eggs, grows chickens, sells tur-
keys, markets milk, uses only one
variety of cotton, mas increased it's
corn yield, or has accomplished
any number of other things which
entitle it to rank as leader among
all the good farming counties of
the United States. Tom Broom be-
gan campaign years ago to make
the soils of Union as fertile as crop
rotations with legumes could make
them and when he had given les
pedeza to his own people and then
to the state, he' began to work for
other things. The foundation on
which ne started has been main
tanned through the years. and now
his Woodworking assistant, T. M.
Mayfield, is proving 20 be equally

harvested with combines. To show
how small grain and lespedeza
work together, Mr.. Mayfield said
that, Albert Medlin of Monroe,
Route 4. had three acres in Victor
grain oats from which he produc-
ed 70 bushels an acre. After the
costs had been harvested, Mr..
Medlin gathered 100 bushels of
Kobe lespedeza per acre from the
same field. His oats at ST BUSH
ell for 70 bushels plus his lespe-
deza seed at $3.50 per oushel for
the 100 bushels gave him an in
come of $4,000 per acre for the
three acres.
But Union farmers also sold
over $4,000 fat turkeys last fall
at an average of S. to 81 bird.
They also had around 275,000 lay
ing hens from which they sold De-
tween 2 IL to million dozens
eggs. They grew over c1e-half a
million broilers and they are sup
plying at least so per cent of all
the milk going to the Albemarle
receiving station from some 900
patrons living on seven milk routes.
The county now leads the State
in the acreage of small grain grow
ing some 10000 acres each of oats
and wheat and about 1000 acres of
barley. Pastures are oeing inprov-
ed and seeded. There is an increas-
ed use of limestone and phosphate
with more than $4,000 tons of lime
stone being applied last fall. The
county has its own cotton storage
warehouses. grain elevators, poul-
try dressing plants, milk routes,
egg gathering trucks, and seed
cleaning establishments. It poss-
esses an energetic citizenship that
produced more farm products in
1914 with is percent less labor than
ever 1t is no wonder that Union
farmers smile when they hear
about the accomplishments in other
counties.

Carolina Farm Comment
By F. H. JETER

Elected to get new seed flesh from
the breeder each season. Their
fields are carefully inspected and
passed by the North Carolina Crop
Improvement Association and then
they sell their surplus seed to 9TH
ed good farmers who increase
them for general planting ever the
county. This means that no cot
ton is more than two years from
the pedigreed breeding farm. Union
county produced $4,000 bales on
the $4,000 acres planted in 1914 and
when one considers that this in
cludes the production o. tenants
and sharecroppers as well as own
ers, the record is good The long
staple cotton also does MOI yield so
highly per acre as does tile medium
staple. Mr.. Mayfield says that 30
farmers in different sections of
the county averaged $50 pounds of
lint per acre on $50 acres and that
10 farmers in Buford township
produced 40 pounds Of lint per
acre of the long staple on 96 acres.
Union farmers follow a sound
tWo-year crop rotation in which
small grain is followed by lespe
deza, which in turn IS followed by
cotton and corn. If the lespedeza
is cut for hay, vetch or winter
peas is planted and followed by
corn. Cotton usually follows the
lespedeza harvested for seed. The
growers fertilize >helr cotton at
the rate of 500 pounds per acre of
a 4-10-6 mixture and make side
application of 100 pounds CT nitrate
of soda and so pounds Of muriate
of potash.
Not only does Union do we'll
with cotton, but the farmers have
decided to push their corn yield up
to so bushels an acre. They will
use hybrid seed and do better fer
tilization. Mr.. Mayfield says that
So farmers picked at random over
the county produced an average of
IS bushels of corn per acre in 1914
Some of these men made go BUSH
els an acre and some made 20 but
the average was IS bushels. Since
1941, when the corn program was
begun, yields have jumped from
81 to IS bushels average which is
an increase of IA bushels.
eve see the need to increase our
acre corn yield" Mr.. Mayfield
said, $50 we have adopted a four
point program. First, We shall use
more hybrid seed, along with our
best varieties; next, we will ferti-
lie better. using more nitrogen;
third, we shall plant corn only on
our best land; and fourth. we will
plan our time of seeding so as to

Union county farmers have de-
finitely decided that lespedeza is
one crop that will always have a
place in their farming. Last year
the growers had 47G0C acres, and
left 1000 acres to second-year sod.
There are five large seed cleaning
establishments in the county and
all of them stay busy either with
Union lespedeza or that shipped III

@. What Is the estimated return
on the original investment in the
purchase of Alaska?-E. L. H.
A. According to the Division of
Territories and Island Possessions
such figures are usually derived by
comparing a compilation of the total
value of gold, fish, furs and other
commodities produced in Alaska
with the original purchase price
paid by this Government for the
Territory. For the f1ve-year period
preceding the war the average an
nual value Of products of Alaska

times the purchase price.

In the course of two years, nor wa.
the supreme atrocity any one Of the
outrageous incidents reported from
within Germany and from Russis
and other countries which the Ger
man armies overran The supreme
atrocity occurred much earlier.
1t occurred when the Nazi politica
leaders decided to launch this wal
and sat down with their military
leaders to plan it.
Clean War Impossible.
That is the supreme atrocity, the
supreme crime against humanity, OF
which the Nazis stand guilty. All
the rest, all the horrors now coming
to light, were consequences of that
decision. The Germans could not
plan their aggression without plan
ming atrocities. They could not plan
clean war. nice war, for there
cannot be war without killing and
the killing cannot be restricted to
the enemy's troops, even if that
would make war clean or nice. No
war the men about that table in
Berlin could plan could avoid the
certainty of killing women and
children and old and helpless people
No such war could avoid the GER
tainty of destroying cities and towns
and villages, of causing starvation
and spreading disease.
That is the atrocity, complete in
itself, with which the nations now
meeting in San Francisco have to
deal and with which they are COM
petent to deal if they have the
courage and the will.
They can make it impossible for
Germany and Japan ever again to
loose the scourge of war upon the
world. And they can make 1t diff
cult for any one of themselves to do
so. That will be the more important
task and the harder, but failure to
accomplish it through lack of try
ing will be a crime chargeable
against those who contribute to the
failure.
We must not delude ourselves.
Our principal undertaking is not to
disarm two countries that are Ger
tain to run amuck again unless dis
armed and kept disarmed That
must be done. Of course. but it is
the easier undertaking. The more
important and more difficult one is
to protect ourselves against our
selves. to make 1t well-nigh impos-
sihle for any of the United Nations
ever to run amuck, ever to become
an aggressor nation. That is the
problem to be solved at San Fran
cisco If World War II is to be the
last great atrocity.
1t confronts us Americans as
much as any other people repre-
sented at the Golden Gate.
Forget Relationships.
Sometimes we fool ourselves. We
like to think we are wholly different
from all other people, particularly
from our unhappy cousins in the
various countries of Europe. We
forget how close the blood relation
ship really is, how directly We stem
back to that troublesome continent.
We are sure that circumstances
never can arise under which we
would lose our heads and our pres
ent high purposes. This could be
a delusion.
Whatever may happen. of course
we never will be guilty of Germany S

FIRMS IN BETHEL PAY
 UP, 0vER(HARGING

AS result of OPA enforcement activity in smaller and outlying communities in the Territory, cash settlements for overcharges were recently made by two well known trading posts in the Bethel area.
 The Oscar Samuelson Trading Post of Bethel made payment to the U s. Treasury in the amount of $43737, representing two and a half times the proved overcharges on sales of ammunition and traps to residents of that area.
 In the case of Bowles vs. Louis Moncher, another Bethel merchant, the sum of $23233 was paid to cover two and half times the overcharge on sales of certain cost of living commodities in violation of price regulations governing such sales.
 The violations in both cases were proved after investigation by OPA enforcement officials and settle ments were made out of court.
