In Charlotte a local regulation re-
quires pedestrians crossing the streets
at independence square to go straight
from corner to corner. Walking4diag-

United on account of the danger to
pedestrians from street cars automo-
biles and other conveyances. The
day Judge Boyd, who was hold
Ing court in Charlotte, started diagon-

by a policeman he didn't turn back
hut went on the way he had started
and was allowed to go without arrest
because he was a judge: Fol that
very reason he should have set the
example of obedience to law by re-
tracing his steps. It's amazing how
'insufferab1y small some so-called big
men can be. They think law is made
for everybody but themselves and
that they are superior to the regula-

This is next to the lowest of all the
results obtained from similar surveys,
made in the course of the same inves-
tlgation, of areas in Vermont, Ohio,
New York, Kansas, Pennsylvania.
Iowa, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Texas,
the average for all these areas being
$176. In particular the charges for
house rem and house labor were far
below the average. What chiefly dis
tinguishes the North Carolina area
from the others studied, however, is
the extraordinary extent to which the
farms there were self-sustaining.
Each of the North Carolina farms
supported an average of As persons
ct an annual cost for maintenance of
approximately $146 for each person.
In n way and another, then, in or
der to supply the needs of the family
a revenue of 1857 had to be obtained
from the farm. Of this, however, only
1914 or almost exactly one eighth,
took the form Of cash; the rest consist
ed of things created and consumed at
home. In no other Of the areas
studied was money an equally unim-
porlant part of the farmers income.
Tie explanation is tWo-fold,
Throughout the greatest part Of the
South natural conditions, the mild
climate that provides a ~long-growing
season., favor the production of large
quantities of fruit, vegetables, poultry
and other forms of food. In this par
ticular area of North Carolina, more
over the remoteness of the farms and
the scarcity of markets compelled the
farmer to rely upon themselves to a
greater extent than is the practice
elsewhere. It must also be remem-
bered that these families were all
white and it is the negro farmer who
is most insistent upon making the
store and not the farm sustain him.
Food is of course the great factor in
the cost of living. OF this the average
family in the North Carolina area
consumed $4O1.93 a year, the farm
furnishing 1928 per cent. Nowhere
else was this percentage so great, and
in New York it was only 5O.4. The
average for ten acreas was oS per
cent. If indeed it had been possible
for the farmers to produce the neces-
sary groceries to the same extent tnat
they produced other classes OF 1oods.
the farms would have been pract1callS
self--sustaining. AS it was, q potb
consumed a relatively smaller proper
ion of groceries and produced "a larg-
err percentage of what they did con
SUM in any other area.

NOW IS TIME TO BEGIN
TALK FOR A COUNTY FAIR.
Progressive Farmer.)

If you are going to have a county
fair next fall-and your county GER
tainly ought to have one-now is the
time to begin planning for it. Talk
it over with your local editor, your
business and professional men, and
Jour teachers, and get your county
F armers' Union and your town cham
bers of commerce interested.
1t will not be hard to get up the
prizes. You will need some cash
premiums and some prizes in the
form of goods, etc., donated by mer-
chants and others for the older peo-
ple; then some p%ure-bred pigs or inn
proved machinery offered as prizes for
the corn club boys and some books,
magazines subscriptions, etc., for
the Canning Club girls. Then, as for
the rest, the honor of having beaten
all competitors and carried off a blue
or red ribbon or an engraved certifi-
cate in proof of victory will be attrac-
ton enough for other prizes. 1t is
the winning and not the thing won
which most stimulates pride and .ef-
fort. AS the Asheboro Courier says liz
urging a fair far it's county:
"No costly buildings are necessary;
plenty of oom can be found with lit
lie expense. 1t will take some money
to be sure, to purchase the prizes, but
that can be had. Fairs bring people
together: old friends greet each other.
and new acquaintance are made. A
fair encourages the exhibitors and
others to further effort. Nothing adj
vertises d~esources and possibilities Of
a county like a fair. Household, agri-
cultural and school exhibits can be
nade a great success in this county.
and livestock exhibits will be excel
lent.
Think about the county fair idea;
: we must have it"
