Reference to the road situation in my
last contribution has done some good
as the road authorities have visited the
road complained of and have promised
to repair it, Something ought to be
done in an organized way to remedy
the farm labor situation. 1t is simply
driving men out of the business of
farming, limiting production and rails.
ing food prices. So vital has it been in
my case that it seems MY work must stop
for lack of adequate and satisfactory
available farm labor and this brings up
the farm bureau idea. Why cannot this
county have an efficient farm bureau.
The best counties in the United States
haye these organizations and all counties
SO supplied, 50 far as have heard, are
succeeding in a satisfactory manner.
That there is work for such an organi-
cation in this county there can be no
doubt whatever. Farming is carried on
witho ut any marked degree of enter
prise or prosperity in this part of the
county at least Many farms are runious-
ly impoverished. That is the case with
the one 1 purchased, and the aid of an
energetic farm bureau agent to help me
put this place back on profitable basis
is assuredly greatly needed. 1 have re-
cited my problem to the experiment
| station, but as yet have received no So
| luton. l am greatly discouraged and
| that l shall continue to operate this
farm is extremely doubtful. Therefore
in this bewiIderment increased by the
fact that am SO years old and nc
| longer able to work strenuously, l am
anxious extremely so that any help
available be extended to me and to all
other farmers in similar condition.
A farm bureau in my judgement will be
the greatest help possible.

who braved the enemy bullets were
the subject of tender attention and

an opportunity to show true Carolina
chivalry and exhibit spirit or ap-
probation"
That was a demonstration of hu,
man interest. all right, but it was
more than that. 1t was brotherly
love. The soldier, whose wife and
baby were on their way to meet him,
had left them months ago to care
for themselves or be cared for by
others while he went to the front;
he had the confidence that they
would either care for themselves OF
be cared for. and his confidence was
justified as was evidenced by the
passengers as soon as they learned
that the father of that baby had been
on the firing line They could do
nothing for him but they had the
opportunity to 40 something
though very little it for his
loved ones. and they did it and they
were glad to do it and there are
many OF those passengers. Millions
