THE GREAT FARM
LABOR RESPONSIBILITY
Raleigh, N. c., March-A com

Raleigh, N. c., March-A COM
munication just received by the
Administrative Office of tie Agri-
cultural Extension Service from
the Secretary OF Agriculture paints
in candid colors the acuteness OF
the farm labor problem. Says the
Secretary, There will be farm labor
difficulties to overcome this year as
last, and that in certain sections,
especially in the neighborhood Of
large industrial centers. the difficult
ties will be acute
The farm labor problem is not the
problem of the farmer only. 1t is
the problem of the man in town as
well. In many communities, city
organizations lave been perfected
to help solve this farm labor prob
lem. Some OF these organizations
are accomplishing things.
Many Of thsm are making sur
yeys of their farm communities,
possibly for the fir; t.no in the
history Of those cor1mnnIti Some
are assisting in chitlinS labor from
one community to ,ano,h and
from one State 10 another others
are promoting fuller cooperation
among the farmers themselves. All
are making an effort to see that
there is no obstacle iii the way OF
greater production of food and feed.
States the Secretary again, If the
soldiers are willing to serve in the
trenches, to dig bitches, build rail
roads, and risk their lives. many
civilians can we'll afford to pare a
part of their time to serve in the
burrows and in the harvest fields. :"
At any rate there is the plea that
the opportunity is at hand for urban
people to study sympathetically and
constructively the farm labor situa-
ton and to render all possible as,
sistance. The great farm labor
responsibility falls upon every one.

BALLEW's CHAPEL.

It has been several years since l l have had the pleasure of writing to The Independent, the best paper Tn the country-but here 1 come boys again.
 The severe weather which began last Thursday caught lots of our peo- pie without wood and put them to hustling.
 The thermometer stood sixteen be- low zero Friday night. Lots of peo- pie was uneasy for their stock be- cause of the open barns in this part of the country.
 Brother l.. c. Doyle started for Lawrence county, but was overtaken by the snow storm at brother A. J. Roulctte's home near Swifton and re- turned home Saturday and reported cold trip on horse back. The pie supper at Ballew's Chapel Friday night was called off on ac- count of the heavy snow. But we ex- pect to have it in the near future and would be glad if everybody would at tend.
 On account of the extreme cold weather lots of people around Grubbs and Ballew's Chapel lost lots of canned fruit but J. R. Ballew took the advantage by staying up and keep ing fires, which saved his apples and potatoes. We believe J. R. is fine fireman.
 Garland E. Land. the candidate for county superintendent is our teacher at Ballews Chapel and we hope to see the voters of Jackson county ralley to the front on the day of the pri- mary and give him good vote for we believe he is the man for the place. ! Master Dick Tubbs is the only rabbit hunter at Grubbs. He reports he caught five by four o'clock Satur- day.
 J. R. Ballew and family of Grubl)s were visiting L. c. Doyle of Ballew Chapel.
 Peck Hosford is the champion rabbit hunter of Ballew's Chapel. He reports he caught eighteen Sun day. Hurrah for you Peck, you are good rabbit hunter.
 Rev. H. McCollum and Geo. Sinks of Newport were in our community one day last week on business.
 Mrs. J. N. Mccoy purchased a library set one day last week. The S. I. A. will meet at Ballew Chapel next Friday night, and are

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS

Jackson county is in the midst of banner hog-killing year. Vaccina- tiop has prevented the dreaded hog cholera, and the farmers in every township are putting up meat.
 The writer has noticed several homemade inventions that are con- venient and could be used by other farmers to advantage. Ire most unique of these is one which makes he fsapdfng easy.
 The scalding barrel is placed in shape to put the hog into it easily, but the water does not have to be heated in a pot. An eight foot pipe is put into the side of the barrel and the end of the pipe capped.
 With the barrel half full of water and the fire built around the pipe

going to have good program. Every body is invited.
 4 w. l.. Sullins of Ballew Chapel will move in a few days to the Dodd Farm, four miles south of Grubbs. k Beorge Holm and M. V. Hosford, have the largest woodpile in the com munity. Ed Murphy says if the weather don't moderate he is going to borrow from them for he believes in being neighborly. tAle@ ti | It doesn't look like the cold wave is braking up. It sleeted all night and is still sleeting this (Tuesday) morn ing. Everything is coated with ice. There is two cases of scarlet fever reported in our country and one case of smallpox in Grubbs.
 We will give yod a long better letter next time.

some distance from the barrel, the water in the barrel is. heated in an easy manner. The water in the pipe goes into the barrel as fast as heat ed, acting on the principle of all hot water heating plants. So efficient is this circulation of water that the en- tire barrel of water has been heated to boiling in twenty minutes after tie fire was kindled.
 The Farmers National Bank of Newport is interested in the use of good seed corn by the Jackson County Boys Corn Club. A quantity of the very best seed corn has been order ed by the bank to be distributed by County Agent Banks to a limited number of the club members.
 This corn is without cost to the boys, but must be taken care of under the instructions of the U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture. Then at the end of the season an exhibit shall be made of the yield. Each boy receiv- ing this corn for seed is required to give some other corn club member enough select seed corn to plant an- other acre.
 By careful selection and cultiva- ton, and this "endless chain" system of distribution, MT. Banks hopes that the generosity of the bank will re- suit in a vastly improved corn yield in the county.

CAN YOU SEE ANY JUSTICE?

A few days ago woman across the line was arrested for having liquor in her house and sell ing it to visitors. She was fined and ordered to leave the country, which punishment we main- tain is just, according to law. But what about those who bought the liquor; are they innocent of all wrong?
 The liquor was in the woman's possession and she sold it or gave it away, whatever the case may be. When the purchasers became the possessors of the liquor, didn't they become as liable to punishment as the original owner? It would seem so.
 Those women are across the line, which is no crime per SC. They commit crimes only when they have visitors From that it should follow in justice to all that the visitors should be pun ished also. A diamond in the window of jew elry store is an attraction and invites thieves. If thief stees it, he is the one punished and not the owner. The women across the creek with the liquor furnish the attractions, but men are necessary to commit crime Then why not keep the men away or at least punish them as accessory to the crimes.
