Weekly Items OF Interest To
AShe Farmers
BY McLAURIN AND GREENE

Will Baldwin, of the Baldwin
community, says he is convinced
that the advice given him by the
New River Soil Conservation Dis
trict in regard to blowing his steep
hills is good advice. From now
on what row crops tend will be
on my small bottom patches, or
on fields that are stripcropped,"
Mr.. Baldwin said. II cannot af-
ford to buy a new farm every few
years because I failed to take
care of the soil 1t is cheaper to
conserve and improve the farm
I have than to let it wash away
and have to buy a new one," Mr..
Baldwin continued.
Many farmers in Ashe county
who seeded sericea lespedeza this
year are we'll pleased with the re-
suits they have gotten. In addi-
ton to many woodland borders
seeded this year, w. L. Mcmillan,
Lester Stump, C. F. Dickson and
others report that field seedlings
on their farms are looking extra
good. Many farmers who seeded
woodland borders two or three
years ago have been able to har-
vest a crop of excellent hay from
the plots that were only CALLED
areas before seeding serecia
c. C.. Dixon, of the Nathan's
Creek community, has demonstra-
ted that only a small amount of
work on pasture will not only
change the looks of the field, but
will increase the amount of graz
ing enough to pay for the trouble.
Mr.. Dixon cut the briars and
bushes from a pasture field on his
farm last spring and reports that
the increased benefits from this
years grazing have more than
paid him for the time it took to
do the work.

Soldering Events

IN our own country prevent the true
observance of Christmas.
Christmas observance has never
depended on tranquility in the world
or upon attainment of universal
justice and brotherhood-for if it
had been so, there never would have
been Christmas.
Christmas means something big
ger and better than the POSSES,
SION of happiness.
It means the ASPIRATION to
happiness, persisted in through all
manner of adversely.
THERE were earnest and comfort
Il ing and inspiring observances Of
Christmas during the recent war,
not only in our anxious and grieving
homes but in the foxholes where men
had died and where other men were
doomed to die.
There is a Christmas observance
this year, not only in peaceful and
grateful America but in deSpairing
Poland and in all the nations of the
world where the meaning of Christ
mas is understood and it's spiritual
values are priced.
Christmas is a promise of time
on earth when men will live entirely
by ways of peace and justice and
brotherhood and compassion.
But men would be of little faith
if until the time of the fulfillment of
that promise they were insensible
to the Christmas happiness that
abounds in the home, in the intimacy
of the family, in thoughtful relation
ships between friends.
This is Happy Christmas-not
because we have won war, but
because throughout the war we kept
safely in our hearts the faith in God
which saw us through Ii. .
1t is good and beautiful Christ
mas-as it has been in all the years
before, whether war or peace pre-
vailed-because we persist in that
faith, and are made worthy by it and
find our happiness in it.

THE problem that most dis
l. turbs the American mind is
how TO get rid of our atomic
bomb.
The most strongly supported
plan is 10 deliver ii into the
keeping of the United Nations
Organization as soon as this
body is sufficiently organized 10
control its future production and
employment as weapon OF
destruction.
To most advocates OF this
plan, this step seems so essential
that they simply assert that this
transfer is imperative.
They make no argument As 10

ance its consequences.
They simply assert that if the
secret of the bombs production
is not widely communicated, an
other world war is certain.

this view is an informed one, or
whether it is based on ignorance
and unreasoned trepidation.
l have just had the privilege
of attending panel or discus
sion of the atomic bomb, ar
ranged by the Army Industrial
College and the American Mill
tary Institute in Washington.
The speaker able 10 contribute
most to our knowledge of this
weapon was Maj. Gen. Leslie r.
Groves. who was in charge of
the project which produced it.
Gen. Groves of course revealed
no military secrets, but he made
some matters clear which should
be generally understood.
THE method of fracturing an
Il atom with the consequent
prod &c ion Of unprecedented
heat or energy is known TO
large number of eminent scien-
fists in many lands. The phe-
nomenon has been studied for
many years and is an interna-
tional discovery
What is not generally known
is less problem of physical

science than of engineering
ingenuity.
1t is the mechanism by which
this explosive power can be
transported and explode d.
where and when it is intended
TO mortally hurt an enemy
people.
Like other mechanical inven-
tions this discovery required the
overcoming of a great number
of obstacles.
The project, in popular lam
guage, was full of bugs" When
these were all resolved the
atomic explosion became A cons
trollable weapon
II took three years and more
of time. an enormous amount
OF expenditure. the work Of
10000 technically trained men,
laboring in specially constructed
plants which cost hundreds Of
millions of dollars. and occa-
Sionally the the contribution Of
some singllaFly gifted discover
ers, TO find the solution.
TT APPEARED to be Gen.
L Groves judgment that the
discovery how 10 harness atomic
explosion into weapon, was
something that could not be
easily repeated elsewhere, or
anywhere IN time of peace
II was an achievement pos
Sible only under the urgency
and lavish expenditure of war
And il was possible TO this
nation only because OF eXCep-
tional conditions that exist in
this country, and are present in
equal measure nowhere else.
This conclusion of an engi-
neering officer who undoubtedly
knows more about It than any
other living person, should carry
great weight.
The countries outside OF the
United States. Canada a and
Great Britain, who have the re-
sources. the engineering equip
