NEW YORK, Jan. 6. (UP).-
Despite opposing comment aroused
in the United States by the an
nouncement of Germany's laws
providing for mass sterilization OF
the unfit to improve the race, a
survey showed today that many
of the 4S states have laws on
their statute books which, if in
voked, would be almost as sweep

Where such laws were designed
to prevent mentally weak or crim-
inally insane from adding to the
worlds unfit population are in eff
feet, they have generally been adj
ministered with extreme caution
with the rights of human safe
guard. In Wisconsin, for exam
pie, fully 500 weakminded persons
have been operated on since the
law became effective. In Della
ware in ten years, $50 have been
sterilized. L.

tus. This. he was said to believe,
would nullify the savings under

visions regarding wage restora,

such a stand would be sufficient

after the conference, went fully
into all phases of his financia
program. The meeting was the
first of a series he will hold witt

farm SURVEY
COOPERATION
TERMED GOOD
Directors Say Only Three
Families Have Mis-
understood Aims

The federal rural housing sur
vey is well underway in Hender-
son county, A. l.. Gurley and
Miss Evelyn Haynes, in charge
of enumerators, said today and
the cooperation of farmers has
been excellent. Concerning the
work, Miss Haynes said:
A few people have understood
that this survey is preparatory
to a federal loan. The purpose
of the survey is to obtain infor-
nation on farm housing condi-
tons in the United States. Since
the government has undertaken
farm relief program we may
anticipate that farm people may
be able to make farm home i'm
provementS within the next few
years and it is desirable to have
some idea as to these needs. This
survey will show what improve
ments are most needed in order
that plans may be worked out
whereby such improvements as
water systems, bath rooms and
built-in-equipment may be in
stalled in farm homes at low
cost.
"The survey or sch .dule is
made up of approximat ly three
hundred questions, the answers
to which will give picture of
housing conditions in farm
homes.
Except fof three homes, this
purpose has been understood and
cooperation has been given in
securing a perfect picture. TO
make the survey worth while, it
must include every home in Hen
derson county as we are the only
county in the mountain section
having such a survey and thus
the other counties and their
needs will be judged by the COM
plete survey in Henderson coun-
ty. We will therefore ask all
farmers reading this to explain
to their neighbors so that when
the enumeration calls there may
be a complete schedule possible.

PERIOD MARKS END OF
EXTENSIVE FARMING

AMERICUS. Ca, Jan. 6. (UP)
Small farms operated on a scien-
tifc production basis without any
aim of making a large amount of
money will remedy the ills of ag-
riculture. in the opinion of DR..
John M. France.
DR.. France outlined his views
to the United Press as he prepared
to assume his duties as general
manager of S1,000,000 farm
colony being established in Geor-
gia through a loan from the Fed
eral Subsistence Homesteads Cor
poration. He has been president
of Georgia Southwestern College
here for II years.
Farmers in the past have made
money on the extensive program,
exploiting their lands and their
labor" DR.. France said. but
that day is past. No longer will
it be possible to make very much
money in agriculture. The farms
of tomorrow must be places where
a man can make a good living,
raise a good family and where
Aaron's golden calf will not be
set up"
The Georgia Farm Colony, aim
ed to point the way for similar
projects on comparable southern
lands will be established on a
10000 acre tract of land in the
Piedmont region of Georgia. Fam
lilies will be invited to establish
homesteads by taking over small
tracts for farms to be rented from
the government for a period OF
five years after which they can
be bought"
