Workers Health
In the Crisis

During the first four years of the
present crisis bourgeois experts
pointed to falling death rates as
proof that Tightening our belts
and leading the simple life" brought
great improvement in the general
health of the population, These
Pollyanna -chirrings make good cap
italistic ballyhoo but have no basis
in fact.
In the first place., the death rates
have been juggled by clever statis-
ticians so that the real figures would
have to be recalculated. And sec
ondly, lowered death rate has no
necessary connection at all with
public health. Mr.. George st. j.
Perrott, consultant of the U. S.
Public Health Service and research
associate of the Milbank Memorial
Fund, recently pointed out that cit
is dangerous to conclude that all of
the American people will escape
damage to vitality (as a result of
the effects of the crisis. 1t must
be realized that the death rate is
not a sensitive index of ill-health.
and does not promptly measure de-
creased resistance to disease" The
point, Of course, is that the average
worker or intellectual wants to be
alive and we'll, and not merely alive.
What the crisis has done to the
health Of workers in terms of hun
ger and disease has yet to be fully
studied and evaluated. But the
general i'll effects are fairly well
known. 1t is significant that Mr..
Perrott admits that insofar as dis
aiding illness is an evidence of ill
health, wage-earning families who
were reduced to poverty during the
depression actually suffered to a
greater extent from ill-health than
their more fortunate neighbors."
The significance of this remark
by Mr.. Perrott lies in the fact that
workers still have to face the full
impact Of the crisis upon their vi
tally in the years to come. Coupled
with this is the steady decrease in
public health funds, and starvation
relief. A national public health
plan and unemployment insurance
are necessary if the children of the
workers are not to become a
stunted generation. The increase in
the death rate of over 5 per cent
during the first six mcI,ths of 1894
as compared with the same Pc
riod in 1898, and the continual
growth Of malnutrition among chill

government figures) are grim re-

WILL INSPECT
IDLE ACREAGE
Committeeman to See That
There Are no Violations
of Reduction Contracts

RALEIGH, Feb. 1.-THE acres
of land removed from the produc-
ton of cash crops, such as cotton
and tobacco, and rented to the
secretary of agriculture for the
years 1884 and 1885, will be in
spected by local committeeman
and others to see that no viola
tions of the contracts occur, says
! Charles A. Sheffield, in charge of
the cotton reduction campaign
for the state college extension
service.
Many farmers are planning
how best to use the land which
they remove from cotton and to-
bacco and some of them believe
they will be permitted to grow
crops or livestock products for
sale. "This is not the case" Mr..
Sheffield says. "These acres may
be used to the utmost extent in
growing food and feed crops for
the family and all the tenants on
the farm. The acres may also be
used for soil Improvement crops
and for the production of grain
and hav for livestock food pro-
vided the livestock so fed is not
sold or the products from the
livestock is not sold. The acres
may also be used to prevent land
washing"
Mr.. Sheffield emphasizes the
fact that the reduction contracts
provided for southern farmers
are more liberal than those pro-
vided for northern and western
farmers. 1t is a known fact, he
says, that the south has not pro-
duced it's food and feed crops to
the extent that farmers in other
sections have. Therefore, a spe-
cial concession has been made to
the southern farmer to allow him
to get on a self-supporting basis
but he cannot violate this con-
cession by growing things to sell.
He can use his other land to
grow crops or livestock products
for sale but not the rented
acres.
For instance, one man who has
dairy in addition to his cotton
conceived the idea that he would
enlarge his pasture land and
thereby produce more milk for
sale. Mr.. Sheffield pointed out
to this man that such a proce-
dure would be a violation of his
contract with the government
since there is a surplus of milk
in the nation at this time. How
ever, he showed this farmer how
he could put this land to pasture
to produce the milk and butter
needed for his family and tenants
and use the milk produced on the
non-rented acres for sale to regu-
lar customers. As a result, the
mer-dairyman said he could
use nearly all the land taken
from cotton in this manner.
The same is true in growing
hogs, beef cattle, corn or other
crops. The produce made on the
rented acres must be used at
home. To be sure that this is
done, a careful check-up is con-
templated this summer after all
planting has been done, Sheffield
says.
