Farm Production And Profit

In theory successful farming consists
simply of three operations: planting, Guilt
waiting and harvesting. In the end the
farmer sells his crops, figures out the net
difference between costs and sales value,
and pockets his profit.
But this is only in theory. In practice
the farmer has to contend with hundreds
of different problems and each one of them
can become so great as to bring about
loss at the end of the season instead of
the profit that the farmer hoped for.
In practice a farmer has to plant the
right kind of crop in the right kind of soil.
He has to plant his crops when the wealth
er is and has been just right, not too much
rain or yet again too little.
In the days that follow the farmer must
and rain, coming at just the right time,
in order to bring about the right kind of
growth from his maturing seeds.
The harvest must be taken at just the
precise moment when the crop is fully
grown. Rain coming at the wrong time
can upset all calculations. And after the
harvest the farmer then has to worry about
prices about the particular economic prob
lens of the moment, and he finds him
self entering into trading market as COM
pick and as confusing as a thick fog on
dark night.
Besides all this the farmer has sundry
other problems: help shortages; shortages
in trucks, tires and farm equipment, and
plaques of bugs, insects and disease, to
name but few. Frequently, when the
harvest season is over, the farmer has dis
covered to his own unhappiness the mean
ing of the term: "The high cost of nothing"
Among all the farm crops there is only
one that can grow in any kind of soil, in
all kinds of weather, that needs little tend
ing, and that can produce an assured an
nual harvest for which there is a constant
demand. That crop is pulpwood and other
forest products. 1t is little wonder that
the far-sighted farmer insures himself
against crop failure by devoting part of
his land to woodlot of top quality pulp
wood.

Dairy Month

June is national dairy month and Ashe
North Cardinals leading dairy county
should feel particularly proud of the vital
role she is playing in this all important
Industry.
Governor R. Gregg Cherry has issued
The following proclamation regarding the
month:
ITO all to whom these presents shall
come: Whereas, Dairy products are es-
sential to the maintenance of human
health and efficiency, and
Whereas, Dairy farmers and the en-
tire dairy industry are exerting every
possible effort towards producing the
maximum amounts of these products and
still are unable to meet all the 'publc's
pressing demands, and
Whereas, Due to the shortages OF
some important dairy products, there IS
great need of better understanding OF
the problems of the dairy farmers and
the dairy industry and the Importance
of dairy products in the human diet to
the end that the battle against malnu-
triton, both at home and abroad, may be
waged with undiminished vigor,
Now therefore, !, R. Gregg Cherry,
Governor of the State of North Caro-
lima, do hereby proclaim the month OF
June of the present year as Dairy Month
throughout the State of North Carolina
and request the citizens of this State to
join me publicly in recognizing that this
industry and it's products are vital to the
worlds peace.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
of the State of North Carolina to be
affixed.
Done at the Capitol in the City OF
Raleigh on this twenty-seventh day OF
May in the year of our Lord one thou
sand nine hundred and forty-six.
Like Governor Cherry, we believe that
food, and particularly dairy products, are
vital to world health and peace. We urge
Ashe county dairy farmers to re-dedicate
themselves to continuing their efforts IN
the production of this vital product.

SEVERAL. GROUPS GO

all requests, but no official ac-

Carolina high school patrons
were asked to make further in

ton of the necessary expense will
be borne by Grayson county, Vir-
ginia, since this school serves
children in two counties and

A number of routine claims
and other regular matters were
attended to.

A Job In Service

While Congress celebrates and studies
the proposals placed before its members,
we do not know what the size and compO-
sition of the peace time military and naval
establishments of the Nation will be.
World conditions continue in state of
unrest to such an extent that we do not
need the statements of Ninitz and Eisen-
hover to convince us that something def
mite should be done and that very
shortly-about reaching a definite judg-
ment on matters of such grave national
concern When decision is reached it
should include, a clear picture of how our
military and naval forces shall be formed
to give force and effect to our declarations
on international relations.
Meanwhile the plan Of The American
Legion for universal military training for
national security is, with other national
defense programs, before the Congress.
Universal military training now has been
approved by wide segment of our mill
tary and naval experts and by a support
ing body of public opinion.
Fortunately there is an alternative de-
cision which young Americans can make
now which will inure to their future in

Parker News

Continued rains and excessive
cloudiness are rapidly lessening
the prospects for successful crops
throughout this mountain section
and unless there is more favor
able weather for finishing plant
ing, cultivation and plant growth
than we have had so far this
spring, we are faced with prac-
tically a crop failure this year.
With a rainfall of 6.97 inches
during the month of May, and
not single clear day, q years
of recorded record was broken.
There were II cloudy and IA
partly-cloudy days with only ap-
proximately Is per cent of sun
shine, the necessary element for
plant growth. Only a small per-
cent Of the tobacco crop has been
set and it is reported that the
plants in the beds are rapidly
detariorating and unless there is
sunshine in a few days, they will
DC total loss.
MFR. and Mrs. Glenn Gentry and
son, Paul, Of Lenoir, visited MIR.
and Mrs. T. r. Gentry at this
place the last week end. Togeth-
er, both families attended a fam
lily reunion on Sugar Creek, near
-aurel Bloomery, Tenn, Sunday.
The Highway Department Of
12nn. is constructing a road
rom the Forge Creek highway to
The top of Stone mountain, at
Pleasant Hill church, and the
road officials of North Carolina
should connect with it at the
earliest possible date.
T. r. Gentry made a business
trip to the Jeffersons, Wednes-
day.
There has been quite a "mad
dog" scare just across the state
line in Tenn. It is reported that
a dog affected with rabies has
bitten several hogs, dogs and 9TH
er stock in the Forge Creek Sec
ton.

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Labor
leaders, led by John L. Lewis,
have finally brought upon them
selves legislation which will curb
them much more than they have
ever been curbed before. The
senate, stirred up by public opin-
ion, has at last agreed that it
must do something - and the
house is now in a mood to ap-
prove any curbs which get
through the senate.
Although the new legislation is
not basic, and does not establish
a new government labor policy
it should realize that the public
welfare still comes first with our
government. It should also con-
vince them of the fact that public
opinion is still the strongest force
in America-and that they can
not hope, in the long run, to put
over any programs which are op-
posed by the public.
John L. Lewis attempt to force
employers to hand over health
and medicine funds to unions has
been thoroughly quashed by con-
gress. Even the majority of pro-
labor members Of congress baked
at the idea of permitting a union
to tax employers. Congress has
made it clear that whenever there
IS new taxing to be done it wants
those taxes to flow to the public
treasury.
Congress, because of its desire
to close up for the summer, is
not expected to try during this
session to revise the Wagner act,
out unless the labor
ment picture is a lot brighter by
next fall, complete revision of
this law is anticipated. The Wag-
ner act, originally passed Tor the
purpose Of promoting labor peace,
IS now considered 10y many con-
,ressmen to have been one of the
thief factors in encouraging the
strike epidemic.
Statisticians here are gathering
together all kinds of figures to
try to find how much production
mas been delayed by the coal
strike and the railroad strike. The
figures haven't yet been analysed,
out it is indicated that the dam
age done may take many months
20 repair. And the end is not in
sight-over 1000 new strikes are
low on labor's program.
Although the labor crisis has
overshadowed all other consider
atoms here, there is much
speculation on the navy's revela-
ion that it has a new weapon
which puts the atomic bomb in
the horse-and-buggy class. From
the little information that has
been released, it seems that this
terrible new weapon is a biolog-
ical one-probably a means Of
destroying masses of people by
the spreading of deadly germs.
It is understood that this weapon
(which those who know about
are praying will never have to
be used-is completed in every
detail. So far as is known it is
a discovery which is entirely an
American secret.
During the war it was feared
on many occasions that the Ger
mans, in desperation, might start
germ warfare, since they were
known to have done much re-
search in this direction. But ap-

Washington Doctor
Found Dead

Washington, d. G. - (NNPA). -
DR.. Ralph G. Wright, 80, physician
here for II years, was found dead
early last Friday morning in his
home, 514 T Street, northwest, with
bullet wound in his head. A .3S
calibre pistol lay nearby.
According to police, DR.. Wright
had retired to his second-floor room
telling his wife Caroline to go
downstairs because he was feeling
"despondent and irritable About
two hours later a shot was heard,
and Mrs. Wright discovered her
husband dead, she told police. The
physician had been i'll for the past
year, police said.
A native Washingtonian, DR..
Wright was graduated from Lin
coin University, in Pennsylvania, in
1888. Besides his widow an infant
daughter, Carol Ann Wright, sur
wives him, as we'll as his mother,
Mrs. Gertrude Wright, of the same
address.
