SWEET POTATO GROWING
SHOWS UPWARD TREND

Vans have always been favor
lite Southern food. And there
shouldn't be any shortage in the
future. H. M. Covington, horticul-
ture specialist for the N. C. Agri-
cultural Extension Service, says
North Carolina farmers are show
ing more interest than ever in
growing sweet potatoes CONNER
cially this year. But don't let your
enthusiasm get the better Of you.
Covington says growers must be
able to think in terms of being
able to sell their field-graded prod
uct at harvest time for SITS per
bushel--and still make a normal
profit.
Covington admits that there's
only one way to do this, producing
high yields Of a good product and
thus cut unit cost. He says that
growers should aim for 800 bush
els per acre. Such yields require
good management.

WIN HIGH PRAISE
Four N. c. Congressman Get Ger
tificates Of Appreciation at
Congressional Banquet
By SENATOR w. KERR SCOTT

By SENATOR w. KERR SCOTT
Washington.-Last week, at the
annual Congressional banquet of
the North Carolina Democratic
Club of Washington, l had the
honor of awarding certificates of
appreciation-in behalf of the Club
to the four Congressman from
our State who serve as Committee
Chairmen in the House.
think it was fitting that the
N. c. Democratic Club of Washing
ton decided to make such awards
of appreciation for the fine public
service that has been rendered by
these outstanding men, Reps. Har-
old Cooley, Graham Barden, Carl
I. Durham and Herbert Bonner.
No one in the history in our
State has done more for the ad-
vancement and betterment of North
Carolina than these Representa-
tives in Congress.
In the almost four years have
been in Washington, l have found
each one of them most cooperative
in working on projects and prob
lens that affect the people of
North Carolina and the Nation.
Congressman Cooley is recog-
nized as one of the Nations most
informed experts in the field of
agriculture. AS Chairman of the
House Agricultural Committee,
Congressman Cooley has been in
strumental in the passage of all
beneficial farm legislation that has
gone into effect during the past 25
years. Nowhere is there a stronger
advocate Of the Importance of u
sound farm economy.
Congressman Barden is one of
the most powerful men in the
House as Chairman of the Com
mittee on Education and Labor.
First and foremost, he is a strong
believer in the rights of the indi-
vidual. A rugged individualist him
self, he has done a great deal to
bring into being many valuable
programs and projects that have
been important to the growth and
development of North Carolina and
the Nation.
AS Chairman of the Joint SEN
ate-House Committee on Atomic
Energy, Congressman Durham &C.
cupies one of the most important
positions in the Nation. Military
and scientific leaders alike have
deep respect for his knowledge of
the atomic energy program and his
devotion to duty.
Congressman Bonner is recog-
nized as the Nations outstanding
expert in the fields of water trans
portation and commercial fisheries.
AS Chairman on the Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries,
Congressman Bonner has been a
key figure in the development and
success of the Nations merchant
marine and fisheries industries.
1t has taken a great deal of
hard work, and a long time, for
these four North Carolinians to
reach the positions of leadership
they hold today.
AS North Carolinians we should
remember that these men make up
the largest group of Committee
Chairmen of any State delegation
in the House. Together, they have
81 years of service in the House.
All of us, regardless of political
party affiliation, ought to be proud
of these men. They are doing a
great deal for their State and
their Nation.

IN THE CORNER -. We noted
the other day that State revenues
are down and that prospects point
to further declines.
A few hours later leaders of
United Forces for Education said
that, despite the recession, they
were laying the groundwork to ask
for more money. They did not
suggest where to get it-or where
to look for it. That is where they
are fortunate. They leave it to
others to do the finding. It now
looks as if three per cent tax
on food is on the way-as if your
food bill were not already high
enough.
If you spend $50 per week for
food, your food bill is $1,560 per
year. Add the three per cent, or
S46.80, and your food bill goes to
a total of $1,606.SO.
The trouble in North Carolina
is this: it is difficult to be against
an increase in taxes without being
placed in the corner of being
against education and the poor.
Why? Because roughly 70 per cent
of our General Fund budget is
spent for education and welfare.
FOOD? ;. When the leader of
a big business organization pro-
phesied at his annual meeting in
Raleigh last week that the 1869
Legislature would likely be long
and rough, one of the things he
doubtless had in mind was the
battle building up between these
forces:
Those wanting to keep the tax
off food and those wanting to
keep9off industry's shoulders the
i5,00OUO0 lifted from these Shout
ders by the 1867 Legislature.
For eight years-from 1888 I'M
til 1941-we had sales tax on
food. Gov. j. M. Broughton's first
Legislature removed it. Will Gov.
Luther H. Hodges last legislature
put it back on?
FLOUNDERING With its
chairman in declining health and
on the verge of retirement, oper-
ating on only about three of it's
five cylinders, and losing it's ace
telephone Investigations man, the
State Utilities Commission is not
a bed of ease these days.
It never has been, as for that
matter, for it has been kicked
about, changed, and played with by
4 long string of governors, as
previously noted here. But it is
stated by good folks, blessed by a
stabilizing load of hard work, and
will come out of its present state
of confusion in good shape.
CROSSING We heard the
other day that the head of GER
tain college in North Carolina
girls school-had been bothered
because the students kept crossing
the street right in front of the
school instead of going down to
the corner. He tried everything,
but nothing worked,
Finally he persuaded friend of
his working for the State Highway
Department to let him have one of
those signs reading "Cattle Cross
ing"
