ASK HELP OF SHERIFF

When Sheriff Nelson, Murray coun-
ty, was out cruising one night on the
trail of an alleged check passer, he
came upon a car careening from one
side of the road to the other, and fin
ally, it stopped.
"Hic-hic can you help u.s." asked
the driver of the car as the sheriff
pulled alongside. "Sure," replied the
officer, "just lcimb into my car and
you can go to Slayton with me and
explain to the judge your reason for
having intoxicants in your car and in
yourself to the extent that you en-
danger the lives of all you pass on
the road"

General Farming HeldKey to Problems

HE cotton farmer Is, like the wheat farmer,
] example of the economically unsound
practice of one-crop farming, in the opinion Of
agricultural experts He pins all his hopes of
prosperity on a good yield and a good price
for his cotton and, failing in these, he finds
himself in a precarious position financially at
the end of his growing season.
The development Of the present one-crop
system among cotton farmers is largely due
to system of financing the crops which has
brought insstence upon the part of the loan
ers that the money advanced be spent exclu-
sively upon cotton production.
1t is estimated by Federal experts that fully
IS per cent of the cotton raised in the South
is raised with the aid Of borrowed money. The
cotton crop makes fair security, for it is a crop
which cannot be stolen nor sold in part surrep-
titiousy. Naturally where thcre is the gamble
on the size and price Of the crop, fairly high
rates of interest are common. This means that
the farmer must bend all his energies to rails
ing cotton in order to obtain sufficient ca n to
pay his loans and have something left over
for his personal uses.
Owners of farms who rent to tenants also are
insiStent upon cotton as a crop, for it brings
in an assured cash return.
This continued growing of cotton year after
year without giving the fields rest results
in an impoverished soil yielding a poorer and
poorer crop as the fertility drops. Commercial
fertilizers on a large scale require money and
a farmer living from hand to mouth year by
year is in bad position to consider the financ-
ing of large-scaled fertilizing program
Because his time is al devoted to cotton
raising, the farmer has little time and little
acreage available to raise the food necessities
of his family and is forced to purchase food in
the stores. This is an uneconomic practice for
him, as he must pay several profits over the cost
of raising the food

Agricultural experts are urging the farmers,
whether cotton, wheat, dairying or other one
crop type, to change their tactics and bend
their efforts first of all to raise the food
stuffs the family needs to sustain it over the
year. The time and acreage left over beyond
this can be devoted to one more cash crops,
the income from which can be used for taxes,
upkeep, clothing and other necessities.
farmer planning his work, and often
the farmers of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
are cited as an example, will have some surplus
milk, wheat potatoes, apples and other fruits,
as well as other vegetables and products of the
poultry yard to SELL BY this means. the farmer
and his family are sure Of eating. They are
certain to have fuel for the wood lot supplies
the firewood. 1t bumper crop Of fruit has
brought the price Of fruit too low to yield
much in the way Of a cash return, perhaps the
poultry yard or the pig pens will make up the
difference. At any rate, with SO many lines in
which he has bit Of surplus to sell, the
farmer finds the question of cash far less I'M
certain and he seldom finds himself face to
face with an approaching Winter in which the
source of his food is a problem.

FowN|a)y to Bring Prosperity Back

uEREE men with the spirit Of American peo-
pie will not continue to tolerate an eco
nomic development with recurring crises throw
ing them out of jobs. They have to be taken
care of. Private charity is not the way to ham
die 1t. Americans resent the need Of asking
charity. Either industry must undertake to
provide for men who have lost their jobs or the
Government will be required to assume the
sponsiblty for unemployment and compel in
dustry to pay for its folly in not having planned
properly
Americans shy away from increasing the
social responsibility and the bureaucratic func-
tons of the Government. And industry be-
gins to recognize its obligation to provide for
the unemployed. the first step is TO attempt to
make unemployment unnecessary.
"A congress of American industry can begin
to solve this problem 1t can develop ways and
means to prevent underconsumption and keep
the people at work.
"DepreSSions are not inevitable nor ineradica-
ble Given the will and the vision there Is
enough human wisdom in our leaders to make
it unnecessary for any American to suffer for
the lack Of work wages"
