In memory of our dear son and
brother, Dale Wesley Michael, who
passed away Sept %, 1914
We miss you dear son
From the old familiar place
We do not hear your footsteps,
Nor see your cheerful face.
We miss you at the table,
We feel your absence there.
And oh what sorrow pierces our
heart
To see your vacant chair.
Our home is sad with out you dear
Dale,
How desolate our heart,
o, could we hear your voice again,
What joy it would impart.
We miss you, Oh we miss you
Which ever way we go
The stroke of death that snatched
you hence,
Has filled our heart with woe.
MIR. and Mrs. Dale Michael
and Betty.

ficient officer personnel in the past,
cannot meet these essential needs.
They have not, as a matter of
fact, met them fully in the past, and
especially did not meet them in the
recent war.
The scientific superiority which
our armed establishments achieved
in the course of this war, and of
which our ultimate and complete
victory was the fruit, was not
product of West Point and An
napolis.
At the very beginning of the war,
the army and navy realized the in.
adequacy of their existing officer
training facilities.
With wisdom, and in haste they
created emergency schools for officers
on the Pacific Coast where space was
without limit, where climate was
favorable in all seasons for all man
ner of operations, and where topog-
raphy was ideal.
TT WAS fortunate that was done,
for otherwise the American nation
would not now be enjoying victory
and peace but would be facing many
more years of hard and bloody and
uncertain war.
Since our greatest national as.
piration now is for PERMANENT
peace, why do we not make perma-
nent use of the instruments which
enabled us to have peace?
The army and navy must realize
that they cannot go BACK to the in
adequate methods and establish
ments which left them unprepared
for the recent war.
The American people, wanting a
lasting peace so earnestly, will not
consent to that.
The Congress must act according
to the realizations of the army and
navy and the aspirations of the
people.
Detroit evening times., 1945-09-17
The Lessons Of War

THE legislative measures now be-
= fore Congress for establishment
of permanent military and naval
academies on the Pacific Coast have
not been made less urgent but dis.
tinctly MORE urgent by the ending
of the war.
They are of the greatest and most
vital Importance, not only to the
Pacific Coast but to the whole nation.
These measures are increasingly
urgent and nationally important for
the most obvious reasons.
The army and navy of the United
States must be maintained, if the
peace we have won is to be secure, as
highly proficient military and naval
organizations; and moreover, as great
SCIENTIFIC organizations.
Accordingly, the officers of the
army and navy must be trained and
proficient scientists.
The great war from which we
have just now emerged has proved
the truth of these facts beyond all
question.
A MEXICAN superiority in the
n many sciences related to the
field of aviation was one of the pillars
of our victory.
Our successful and timely quest
for the secret of atomic power was
instrumental in achieving victory.
Scientific research, and scientific
superiority, and scientific perfection
as near as that may be attained
are the keys to security and peace,
not only for the United States but
for the whole world; but of course
our FIRST interest as Americans is
IN America.
The fine old academies at West
Point and Annapolis, upon which the
army and navy of the United States
have relied for trained and pro

Obituary
HERSCHEL F. HALSEY

Herschel Fielder Halsey, son
OF William and Ludema Halsey,
was born December Is, 1881 and
died in Lee Memorial Hospital,
January IS, 1945.
He was married to Mary Eliza
beth DeBord on May 8, 1903. He
IS survived by his widow and the
following children: Mrs. r. v.
Delp and Mrs. B. L. Duncan. of
Oxford, Pennsylvania; Corporal
Victor c., Of Fort Lewis, Wash
ington; Staff Sgt. H. F., Jr.. Of
Amarillo, Texas; Sgt. William F.
(now overseas), and Lucien D.,
Of Mouth of Wilson. Also surviv-
ing him is one sister, Mrs. John
Dixon, of Aid, Ohio. A son,
Leigh, and two infants preceded
him a number of years ago.
He received his education at
the old brick Oak Hill Academy

He was converted during a re-
vival in January, 1920, and on

every family living in town eth
er has a fertile sunny plot or &C
cess. to a vacant lot.
The following points are the
main reasons for growing Victory
Gardens:
i. GARDEN FOR VICTORY.
Gardens that supply 1915 Of our
fresh vegetables are essential to
win the war. Though all of us
can't dig fox holes over there,
we can still dig-in our gardens
| over here-for Victory"
2. GROW YOUR OWN AND
PLAY SAFE. If you have your
own fruits and vegetables you
don't have to worry about crop
failures in other parts of the coun-
try, bottle-necks in transportation
or distribution, or anything else
that might otherwise keep you
from getting what you want when
you want it.
3. SAVE MONEY. You can
supply your family with fresh
vegetables for a whole season at
a very little cost except the work
you put in.
4. BUILD YOUR HEALTH
There's nothing like exercise and
better meals to improve your
health, which is doub1y impor-
tant in wartime. Vegetables
right out of the garden have the
most food value because for most
vegetables there is a rapid loss in
certain vitamins after vegetables
are taken from the soil. For an
adequate diet, the average Amer
lean needs about 500 more green
and yellow vegetables and about
2O% more tomatoes and citrus
fruits than were available in 1914,
according to nutritionists in the
Department of Agriculture.
Our average garden is without
small fruits as strawberries, rasp-
berries, and grapes. These can
be very easily grown by following
a few simple cultural practices.
Information for gardeners is
available at the county farm and
home agents office. Make use

with annual lespedeza, after cut

Mr.. Hartzog states that he was
advised not to cut the hay by
several farmers as it would be a
waste of time. MIR. Hartzog went
ahead and cut the hay. He said
he got all he could pile on his
pickup three times. He was also
pleased with the quality of the
hay. He plans to seed l u acres
of his good land to alfalfa on his
home farm. This will serve as
a source of excellent hay and also
asa fuffer or protection strip for
some bottom land just below.
He also plans to establish III
acres of sericea on some less pro-
ductive soil on his river farm.

'In my opinion Mr.. Littlewood
said, ''by spacing your crops in
strips approximately so feet apart
you allow more sunlight to get
into your growing plants. Since
sunlight is a big factor in grow
ing healthy, VICIOUS plants, this is
one of the many advantages re-
ceived by strip farming"

it takes more ammunition"
In emphasizing the vital need
for the continuation of the Vic
tory Garden Program, Marvin
Jones, War Food Administration,
said at the Victory Garden con-
ference held recently in Washing
ton: Food is just as necessary as
guns, tanks and planes. Home
gardeners produced over 1870 of
the fresh vegetables this year and
we are asking them to equal this
record in 1915 There will be
$3.50 less canned vegetables avail
able to civilians in 1945 than in
1914 We are likely to need
tremendous quantities of food
long after the war is ended. We
cannot afford to take a chance of
not having enough. Better have
more than enough than less than
enough. The man or woman who
grows a Victory Garden not only
serves his country but himself"
Our Victory Garden goal for
Ashe County in 1915 should be to
have a garden for every farm and
town family, which would total
5000. This is possible, and high
ly practical, as every farm fami-
ly has sufficient garden plots and

One reason for the great enjoy

Soybeans-Prospects are fair for
good crop. While weather condi-
tons have not been favorable, ap-
proximately 250,000 acres will be

crop was valued at $4,395, 900.
Hay-Tame hay prospects on
June were slightly below those
reported at the same time last

Grain hay made about an average
