REALITY

(From The Masonic Messenger)
We are forever being told that
we must read such book or see
such movie which describes and
depicts the actual, the ugly, the
debased, the horrible, or war as
it really is.
And many times 1 have Won
dered.
Is it always the horrible that is
the actual? Is it always debased
humanity? Should 1 dwell on
things that bring only the sting
of bitterness.
l have lived long enough to
know many disappointments, sor-
rows, loss of loved ones. All of
this must be a part of life. l
know they are possible.
But is there still another real
ity, or at least a line between the
so-called actual and the ideal?
If beauty and love and toler-
ance are not things to dwell upon,
and to look upon as reality, then
all life is futile.
Do we gain by going over, re-
viewing, stressing and enlarging
the picture of despair?

CHOOSE GOOD SEED FOR
HIGH SMALL GRAIN YIELDS

North Carolina farmers reached
an all time high with their aver
age yields small grain in 1856,
This new record was not produced
by accident. 1t was due to careful
planning by the farmers in their
efforts to grow larger yields of
high quality grains.
Extension Field Crops Specialist
George E. Spain at North Caro-
lima State College in Raleigh says
that farmers need to plan now for
even higher yields in 1867. He
believes that the application of
sound principles will continue the
upward rise in average state yields
that has been going on over the
last 20 years.
Spain claims that one of the
basic sound principles is the selec-
ton of a good variety. He points
out that the varieties of many
crops are quite specific in their
requirements of a proper inviron-
mental condition. The varieties of
small grains recommended by the
Experiment Station at Raleigh
have been tested for several years
over a wide range of conditions
and these recommended varieties
have excelled over other varieties
under the average of these condi-
tions. Your county agent can give
you a list of the varieties recon-
mended for your particular area
of the state.
No less important than the Sc
lection of a proper variety, says
Spain, is the purchase of the best
quality seed available. For, he
adds, the crop produced can be nc
better than the seed you plant
Spain believes that certified seeC
is one of the best bargains you
can buy as you plan your next
years crop of small grain.

How can the Republicans be
united when Southern delegates
stood hopelessly by while the
Northern groups wrote off the

leadership spurned the South, and
played up the civil rights issue to
gain certain votes in strategic
places. The Southern farmer was

The Republican convention a few
days ago in San Francisco offered
no great inducements to the South
as were offered in the way of off

DEPLORES TAKING OF
MANY CHANNEL BASS
Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch)

NNOflOlk LeuRer-DlSpdCcn)
A. L. Edwards, a native of the
Belhaven area, goes back home
each fall for a week of channel
bass fishing. He has just returned
from his usual trip, and for the
first time failed to connect with
one of the copper battlers.
He is greatly disturbed because
of report he heard while there.
He was told that a commercial
fisherman last Thursday night
caught SO huge channel bass in
his haul seine. The big red drum,
going from 80 to 65 pounds We're
brought in and sold at Swan
Quarter. He claimed he protested
that there was a law against TAX
ing the channel bass, but natives
there denied there is any law COW
ering the taking of saltwater fish.
The law, just passed, expressly
prohibits the taking of more than
two channel bass weighing more
than 80 pounds. This law applies
to both commercial and sports
fishermen. The seiner is law VIC
lator, and is running the channel
bass fishing for not only his fell
low commercial fishermen but for
the sportsmen as well. Law en-
forcement officers should be ad-
vised of the. violation and see
that all anglers and fish buyers
in that area are appraised of the
law.

TRACE ANCESTRY 500 YEARS
BUT NOT KIDS WHEREABOUTS
(Uncle Dan From Doodle,


in the Mooresville Enterprise)
This juvenile delinquency is git
ting to be a national problem.
Kids has even started killing their
parents. l reckon it serves some
of them right. l know of parents
who can trace their ancestry back
500 years but can't tell you where
their children was last night.
l see where the political can
didates is all talking about reduc-
ing taxes. The subject of taxes is
always popular. And to think that
the American Revolution started
over one tax! Today we got enough
of them to keep revolution going
indefinitely.
Speaking of taxes, / was look
ing over this official income tax
instruction pamphlet the guvern-
ment sent out. 1t says on one page
that a widower can file joint
return, and another page it says
that the joint return must be
signed by both parties. Just how
that can be done, l can't figger.
And a Teller from Los Angeles
told the tax assessor that if the
termites in his 40-year-old house
was to stop holding hands, his
house would fall down. l reckon
it's help fer termites to be ro-
mantle.
But found out long time ago
that it gifts you no place to argue
with tax assessor. His mind was
made up before he ever looked at
your property. It's worse than
arguing with woman, which is
about like trying to read news
paper in a high wind. I've give up
on the modern woman anyhow.
When we got girl bullfighters and
wimmen wrasslers l fingered it
was time fer me to call it day.
The older a teller gifts the more
he can stand, and l reckon girl
bullfighters and wimmen wrasslers
was put here by the Lord to test
mans faith.

would ship their fish to another
dealer to whom they owed no
money, or would ship in the name
of a child or other relative. To one
who has been shown the names
of some of the evaders of their
debts, it is revelation. One never
knows to what extent otherwise
apparently honest and self-respect-
ing people will go to avoid paying
just debt. The list of defaults
include people high in church
circles, in public life, and in local
politics, some of whom make
great pretensions to integrity and
morality of highest order.
Loans thus made would provide
mohey to buy nets, stakes and tar,
to fix up boats, to hire labor to
get going for the season, and
sometimes to pay other debts.
There is indication that the favor
was badly abused, and the faith
full, honest borrowers opportuni-
ties for aid were hurt by several
fragrant cases of chicanery. Very
little money is being loaned by
fish dealers these days, since ship
ments have dropped off to mere
fraction of their former volume,
and dealers no longer may look to
fishermen directly, as being any
great and important source of
supply.

Not only could fishermen oper-
ate longer and operate more
equipment, but they got paid cash
for their crop most of the time,
after trucks began picking up the
fish at the packing houses. But
fishermen lost one thing on which
they had leaned a long time. 1t
has been the custom for many
years for fishermen to depend on
the Northern Commission Mer-
chants for financial help. Nearly
all fishermen, at one time or an
other, and often throughout the
year, borrowed money against
their future catches Of fish, pledg-
ing to ship to the lender so that
he might deduct his loans during
the season. Sometimes poor sea-
son made it necessary to carry
the loan over. On the whole, the
dealers were pretty good to fish
ermen, and it would have been
tight going indeed for many of
them, without this timely and
liberal aid, for banks and other
sources could not lend money
without more solid collateral.
In some instances these favors
were badly abused. Some fisher
men could not bother to repay,
particularly if they went away in
to other work, and abandoned
fishing. In some cases, fishermen,
