Soil Conservation
District News
By F. M. GLOVER, JR.

A group of farmers, owning
land in the Oakdale section, held
a meeting at Oakdale Church
November 7, to continue formu
lating plans for the proposed
drainage of Dobblers Branch.
A formal organization was
formed naming Simon Horne as
Chairman, John Wyatt, Secre-
tary, and James Todd as Trea.
surer. A motion was presented
and carried to form a coopera-
ton under the State drainage
laws.
The Lower Cape Fear Soil Con-
servation District promised the
technical assistance of the Soil
Conservation Service in survey
ing and designing the drainage
needed.
The Farm Improvement Com,
pany of Lumberton, who install
ed over $4,000 feet of tile in this
county last year, has promised
to send the same trenching
machine and operator to Column
bus County again as soon as
enough farmers get their drain
tile on hand and have their tile
systems laid out under proper
supervision. The machine will
move to a farm for as little as
1000 feet of tile installation. It
is important that farmers plan
ming to install tile this winter
purchase their tile now to avoid
possible delays in shipping later
on when the machine is at work
To date, Clyde Blackmon. A. L
Fisher, Charlie Fisher, T. F. Col
lier, and Bill Hooks, have each
purchased a carload of tile.
T. L. Enzor, conservation farm
err Chadbourn, Route, seeded
Kentucky 81 Fescue on two acres
of his tobacco land recently. He
plans to grow grass on this land
this winter, all next summer
and next winter, grazing when
the Fescue has enough growth
and where it is dry enough to
put his COWS on his tobacco land
eff quality tobacco will grow
after native grass and weeds, |
see no reason why I can't grow
quality tobacco after fifteen
months of Fescue grass. The Fes'
cue will furnish grazing summer
and winter where the native
grass is dead in the winter,
'Enzor said.
Nature requires about 500 to
800 years to build up one inch
of topsoil, according to the Soil
Conservation Service. If a field
has lost four inches of topsoil it
has lost more than 1000 years OF
natures work. The swamps have
filled up a lot in the last fifty
wears and the soil in the SWamps
come off the farms above.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER n. 1850

| Foreign Wars, the International
Association of Machinists, the
Jewish Welfare Board, the Amer.
lean Veterans Committee, the
Army, the Navy, the Air Force,
and the Congregational Church
Social Action Committee.
Mr.. Woods told the represent,
atives of these groups that the
new detectives should be extern
sion of rent control until June
80, 1852, elimination of the local
option provision of the present
law under which communities
may free themselves, and author
ization for the Expediter to re-
control any area he deems neces-
sary no matter how it was freed.
Under the current law, of course,
the Expediter does not have the
power to recontrol areas freed
by local action, but only those
decentrolled by himself.
Strategy of the propaganda
drive, Mr. Woods was reported
to have disclosed, would be to
work up and publicize horror
stories about the shortage of
housing around newly-activated
military camps, even though
they may be only temporary
training establishments. Camp
Atterbury, Ind, and Camp Pick
EFT. Va, are two of those already
selected to spotlight" Mr.. Ger
hok said. although Mr.. Woods
always fails to explain how rent
control will increase, or even
stimulate interest in, new build
ing around such camps.
1T is reported that Mr.. Woods
took the credit for the contem-
plated plan of the President to
call Congress back into session
early on Nov. Is, instead of Nov.
q, so that more time would be
available to consider a bill to ex-
tend rent control" Mr.. GerhoH
added.
CLOSED over at the meeting
was the fact that only four of
the 20 largest cities have seen
fit to vote for extension of fec
eral control beyond Dec. 81. The
fact that about 5000 cities thro-
ughout the nation. including
most of the largest cities, have
seen no necessity of acting to ex-
tend federal ceilings beyond Dec
81 shows that there is no nation
al need nor strong demand tc
continue this strait jacket over
the rental housing industry.
In fact, the city council of
the fourth largest city, Los An
geles. voted last July-three
months ago-to end federal con-
troll there. but Tighe Woods, fear
full that his empire is slipping
away from him, and exercising
a power he does not lawfully pos
sess, within the last few days re-
iected the council resolution.
In so doing he thWarted the
intent of Congress which was
that the local community was to
decide it's own case. and the Elk
pediter merely to approve the
resolution of it's governing body.
Moreover, Mr.. Woods insult

"This definace of the federal

ing body is understood to be

had been able in the past to en-
list in his propaganda drives for

'Noisiiest' Band

HOLLYWOOD, CALF. - The
cash registers steady jingle is
drowning out the cowbells, door
bells, trolley gongs, ringing
anvils, bicycle pumps and tuned
flitguns of the worlds noisiest
orchestra.
Spike Jones, the comic band
leader with the concave face, has
made music depreciation an art.
And how this changing, banging
and squealing pays off is a wonder
to behold:
On tour last year, Jones' outfit
commanded $4,000 for 16 days
at the Texas state fair. They got
$12,500 a week in big hotels at Las
Vegas, New. and St. Louis, Mo.
The smallest tops among a hun
dred cities guaranteed So, 500 a
night. or 60% of the gross. The
average, except in the largest
spots. was $4,000 night. College
towns got off with flat $500. In
Milwaukee Spike drew 5000 to
the Coliseum at the state fair
park.
Spikes recording of a single
number. 1.-TWO Front Teeth" sold
10000 copies in six weeks.
RCA Victor sent him a golden
record, framed, and an extra
frame for the second golden rec
ord RCA expects him to win with
sales Of the reissue of the same
number.
Jones has just signed with pro-
ducer Harry Sherman to make a
comedy western, Spikes seventh
film but his first as the star.
The 1948 tour, 125 one night
stands, crossed over $1,000 900.
Spikes junket in 1949 nearly
matched that figure although the
band "took it easy" by staying
longer in some cities.
This is big business for a guy
who started with washboard and
a $40 set Of cowbells. The revenue
isn't all gravy, however. Spike
takes about 40 people on tour,
augmenting the band with singers,
acrobats and comedy acts. They
travel in a chartered train of two
pullmans and a baggage car.
Spike estimates travelling ex-
penses at $500 a day.
Salaries come out Of the gross,
too, and Spikes side men are ex-
pensive. They have to be good
musicians to kick a piece around
the way they do. Jones' travesties
may sound like uproar to the un-
initiated. but they are very care
fully arranged.
His style is corn, but it's sharp.
His most steadfast admirers are
sophisticates not hillbillies.
Among Spikes fans are conduc-
tors Arthur Fielder and Leopold
Stokowski.
In Boston the entire member
ship Of that city's symphony
orchestra attended Spikes con-
cert. Fielder has a copy of every
record Spike has made. In Austin,
Tex, Spikes concert was a bene-
fit for the local symphony orches-
ira.
Spike likes to take a classic,
play it straight for a few meas
ures, then scramble the whole
thing with blasts from the auto
mobile horns, pistol shots, burps,
hiccups and sirens. For some rea-
son, "Dance Of the Hours made
him think Of an automobile race.
So he incorporated one. with a
narrator. Tchaikovsky's Nut

Hoover Report
I'm WASHINGTON


EVERYBODY who knows anything
about the recommendations Of
the Presidents committee for the
reorganization of the executive
branch of the federal government
thinks they are a good thing for the
country and will save the taxpay-
ers a lot Of money if put into eff
feet and the taxpayers are for
that.
The trouble is, 68 per cent of the
taxpayers or the people know moth
ing about this report or its recon-
mendations and congress seldom,
If ever, takes any action on any
subject about which more than two
thirds Of the people are ignorant.
The Gallup poll says this is true,
that of the 81 per cent who do know
something about the report, Is per
cent favor the main suggestions,
2 per cent were opposed and four
per cent had no opinion.
But what's wrong when thou
sands Of dollars have been spent
and millions of words used in
newspa apers, magazines,
phamplets, etc., and on the
radio and television to tell the
people about this report ..
better known as the Hoover re-
port?
Several months ago it was re-
ported in this column that some Or
carnations were seeking to play
politics and make the Hoover re-
port an issue in this congressional
campaign. They still are. Although

Axes TO Grind

But what has happened is this:
Several large organizations sup
porting the program have certain
axes to grind. Newspaper releases
almost invariably read like an in
dictment of the Truman admins
tration with such phrases as "sin-
full waste and extravaganza of the
vast army of bureaucrats'' or
despite recent improvements in
many agencies of government, the
1851 budget still covers up much of
the waste, duplication, payroll pad
ding and inefficiencies exposed by
the Hoover commission"
Now payroll padding" is
felony. Congressman J. Parnell
Thomas recently went to prison
for payroll padding in his office.
But the publicists for the Hoover
report do not spare the adjectives,
nor the inuendoes, nor outright
libel such as was pointed out above.
The United States chamber of
commerce, through its president,
engages in a dog fight with the
powerful American Legion over
recommendations on veterans ex-
penditures . other organizations
castigate the department of agri-
culture when the big farm organ
izations like the department.
Mr.. Hoover, the only living
former president, is featured
throughout the publicity when
most Americans remember his
unfortunate administration. He
is even featured before congress
sional committees as a govern
mental expert, although many
Americans will never admit to
his experience In governmental
affairs.
Despite what many of these or
CARNATIONS may believe, the av-
erage American does not take kind
ly to attempts to make his govern
ment leaders look stupid, dishonest
nor his government the unholy
mess the publicists have attempted
to picture as a result of the Hoover
report. And this is not to say that
there are many instances of dupli-
cation, of waste, and even of in
efficiency in some branches of the
government.
But this is to say that if brickbats
are to be thrown in connection with
the Hoover report or any other re-
port, then they should be aimed at
the source of all waste, extrava-
gance, employment and govern
ment money, namely the congress.
The executive branch of the
government cannot spend what
congress does not appropriate,
nor can it initiate spending ac-
tivities which congress does not
authorize, nor can it hire per-
sonnel, unless congress gives
its approval and furnishes the
money.
Congress appropriates the money
for the executive branch of the
government to spend. Congress
creates all these boards and COM
missions and agencies, says how
much money they shall have pre-
scribed their duties and services
and how many people they shall
employ, governed strictly by the
appropriation given.
