SOUTH'S BIG ASSET
IN BOYS AND GIRLS
Richmond Man Thinks Dixie's
Best Raw Material Is Wrapped
Up in Students.

The following. which is as true as
the Scriptures. Is taken from the
Raleigh News-Observer:
Tho South Is region of the great
est material resources. With just
pride we can tell of our coal and iron.
of our cotton and tobacco. of our
timber and our great water power. and
of the vast sums realized because of
these Our soil and climate are such
that we arc ablo to become the great
supply house of the world God has
been good to us in making the South
rich by His benefactions.
But these are not the best raw ma
tcrial which the South possesses, these
are great. but we have something
things are the people OF this favored
Southland. Its men and it's women, it's
boys and its girls. These are my
Jewels. the declaration OF tho Roman
matron. as she pointed to her boys,
can. indeed. be declared by the South
of its rising generation.
Only recently the Manufacturers
Record. on one OF its inquiry blanks,
sent out for information as to pro-
spcctive building enterprises in tho
South. asked concerning tho character
of product and daily output" In re-
sponse, a firm of Richmond architects,
which is preparing plans for new
building for the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute. answered students" And
that answer was one whose correct
ness cannot be disputed for from
these Is to. come greater South in
development. In enterprise in the utili-
cation OF all tho material resources
which are at hand in this Land of
Promise.
Our Students OF the South are indeed
our greatest raw material. and as they
are more and moro trained, as their
taculties are developed to tho highest
extent tho better 1t VIII be for all the
South. That full development is the
task which is set for tho present. and
just In that proportion in which we
meet IL, just so we are to see this re-
gion become prosperous in n degree
which viii be marvellous. or SEQ it lag
In tho progress of the world Great
Is tho responsibility Of tho men and
women In the schools and colleges
who are training these boys and girls
and young men and young women and
fitting them. to do their part in tho
world. Their work has never been
adequately appreciated either hnanci-
ally or In public recognition OF it's pre-
eminent Importance in tho welfare OF
the individual and of the country.
Training, that is what we must give
our boys and girls All our future is
wrapped up in tho finished product
which we mako up OF this raw ma
terial The South is in its swaddling
clothes In comparison to that stature
to which 1t can attain Our young
people must be trained. and educated
and directed into the right paths Tho
future must not find them uneduca ted

must be put into condition to take up

The Farm pemou,tro,or.

Tho Tazcwcll Republican is trying
hard TO get county farm demonstrators
Tor It's county. and in discussing the sub
jet, says:
Tho hard-hcadcd farmer is likely
to look with skepticism or suspicion
upon tho younRster whose head Is
filled with theories about farming, but
whose hand never knew the callous
worn by the pitchfork or in guiding the
plow. But some OF these young men
who have been brought up on the farm
and who have pursued the agricultural
course in college have that rare COM
bination of practical and theoretical
knowledge that produces what has come
to be termed tho scientific farmer
--or In other words the farmer who
knows" and does not guess.
Most farmers as we'll rs other bust
moss men need to continue their edu-
cation throughout life. But that edu-
cation must be specific and practical.

FARMERS TIME IS
WORTH BIG MONEY
Few Tillers of the Soil Seem te
Realize This Impor-
tant Fact.

a farmer. writing in the Charlotte
Observer. says:
a farmers time is worth money.
How much is your time worth n day,
How much is your time worth n
month? The merchant goes into bust
ness and says his salary shall be so
much month. and at the end OF the
month collects his salary. Tho banker
considers his time is worth so much
month, and collects his salary Mt
stated times, and so does nearly every
business man. except the farmer, but
he rarely ever counts his time worth
anything beyond what he eats and
wears. We saw farmer n few days

| ago who for 90 cents refused to sell
his milk to creamery, preferring to
churn, haul and peddle 1t around town.
lie valued his time, his horse. wear
and tear on vehicle and time of
churning the butter worth only 20
cents. He lived eight miles from town.
Giving him the largest margin pos
sible. he counted his time worth only
s2o.So per month, and that does not
allow for his horse, which ought to
at least earn that much.
We want to begin to figure our time
is worth so much per hour and then
work to accomplish the most in those
hours
We havo seen farmers vote against
n good roads bond because it might in
crease their taxes Il dollar or so, vet
we have seen those same farmers con-
tentedly haul cotton 10 market over
those same roads, when they were so
muddy that two bales made n heavy
load, and they had TO travel in a walk
all the way. With good roads they
could have hauled eight bales with
greater ease and saved the time OF
three trips to have been applied on
their farms. Suppose 1T took them
ne-half day to go to town and return.
With good roads they could have haul
ed eight bales in onc-half day, but as
1T was 1t required two days to get eight
bales in town
II farmer will set price on his
time and pay himself so much Il month
Tor his work he will soon begin study
ing how to mako his time count every
hour, at least, to tho extent of his
salary. Tho farmer will not BIO able
to collect his salary each month, but
by Keeping books ho can charge II
up to his farm and pay 1t to himself
In the fall.
Lets figure what our time is worth
and mako our farm pay it.
