Record of Near East Relief
Lauded as Work Nears Close

the huge contributions have been
handled, the Asburv Park Press says:
The Near East Relief has been adj
rirably managed and it retires from
the active field of operations in blaze
of public appreciation. That its di-
rectors have displayed the good sense
to disband upon the completion Of
heir task, instead of maintaining an
expensive organization beyond the DAYS
Of its real usefulness. Is not the least
Of the reasons for applauding the work
of this charitable undertaking."
In the announcement of fulfillment
Of the mission Of Near East Relief" the
Buffalo Times sees "a message Of pros
perity and peace" bearing witness that
"the 10 years refugee emergency IN
the Near East Is virtually at an end.
The protracted crisis Is over. Conmu-
nifty and commonwealth life in that
erstwhile distracted region has settled
into the normal"
Qualification that the affairs of the
organization are not TO be too abruptly
brought to a close is expressed in many
quarters. Typical remarks are those Of
the Bangor Commercial. which says.
The work of the Near East Relief Will
not be entirely abandoned, for there
remain some 10000 children 10 be aid
ed. These children will still be
cared for until they are able to sus-
tain themselves or are placed in homes,
cared for by local committees"

Advocates Farm Board
Funds for Education

To the Editor OF The Star:
Would 1t not be wise for the Presi-
dent and the Farm Board to use some
Of the funds set aside for farm relief for
the education of the masses to an I'M
derstanding of problems in the various
sections OF the country?
To illustrate my point: AS a travel
ing salesman through Western New
York. Pennsylvania and Ohio. find as
much ignorance prevails about prob
lens in the South as an isolated South
ern mountaineer could ever show about
how to adjust technical problems in
steel mill. or how to finance a Pitts
burgh alderman election.
Yet these people many Of them. hold
that the Southern farmers problems
have already been settled If they would
work. spent one Sunday afternoon
trying to convince the representative
of a Philadelphia publishing firm that
no cotton-p picking machine had ever
been invented that was considered
practical and, according to the De-
partment of Agriculture, it was hardly
likely that any machine could be in
vented that would operate cheaper and
more efficiently than the human hands.
He had seen pictures showing a ma
chine that was sweeping over a cot
throwing it into sacks without a min
ute's loss. Yet a 10year-old picka-
ninny, who had lived near a cotton
patch, could have told him that the
machine that was harvesting the cot
ton so efficiently was destroying at least
three-fourths of the crop that would
come on later.
The cotton plants must be nurscd
tenderly in a region where the climate
t. %raA
frost. The cotton grower must buy
expensive fertilizer. for which he is
often in debt several years, for no plant
impoverishes the soil as does cotton
A cotton crop consists of three or four
pickings, begun early in the Summer
and continued until late in the Fall
sometimes until December. On the
same plant are found ripe bolls. bios
SONS, buds and immature cotton in all
stages Of ripening. Any mechanical de-
vice that has so far been used destroys
the buds and blossoms and any I'M
opened bolls, reducing the crop in pro-
portion to the efficiency Of its one
present harvesting.
My friends opinion had been set be-
cause of one moving picture that he
had seen, making a very good test for
the time being without reckoning the
cost. I referred him to any standard
encyclopedia and have since sent to
him bulletins from the Department of
Agriculture setting forth the difficul-
ties of handling cotton, stating that no
cotton picking machine had ever or
probably every would be invented for
commercial use in the South because of
its attendant destruction. He still
probably prefers to believe the informa-
ton he received without sufficient ex-
PLANTATION. This is one Of the prob
lens the Farm Board will be up against
trying to break down false pre-
digested opinions which will hamper
them in many ways.

radios, automobiles and airplanes. The
underlying cause doubtless involves OBJ
scure and complicated sociological and
psychological phenomena which de-
serve the attention Of serious students
of such matters.
The witch epidemic apparently
started-at least 1t came generally to
the public attention first-in the rural
communities of York County, Pa, last
Winter. It had been slumbering there
for generations and needed only the
right combination Of circumstances to
fan 1t into flame. But there was
something catching" about it. Since
the York witchcraft trials in January
there have been persistent new out
breaks in other sections Of Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Ohio and Michigan. 1t is not
confined to remote rural communities
out of touch with the culture OF the
times. where it could be interpreted as
the result of the natural fear OF the
malevolent forces of nature which play
so prominent a part in the lives Of
country people. Quite to the contrary,
the most outrageous outbreaks have
been in cities in the glare of electric
street lights, which are presumed to be
the most potent antidotes for supersti-
tons.
1t is not unlikely that the underlying
cause is to be found in the breaking
away from old faiths and in the semi
mystical PHILOSOPHERS now current
which inferior minds can grasp only in
part. The mental outlook of thousands
of people has been upset. They are
cropping in the Oakland the witch"
killings are not an unnatural result.
The cure lies in a more fundamental
education in the eternal verities.
