College Extends
Broadcast Service
Five Stations Now Feature
Daily Farm Information
Radio Programs

The North Carolina State College
Agricultural Extension Service, searching
for new ways in which to spread its
information to farm people, has turned
to mans newest form of communication
radio.
The service was inaugurated in Sep
TENDER over one station, WPTF in Raj
eigh. Since that time the service has
been syndicated and now five other
North Carolina radio stations are using
the programs, which are known as Car
DINA Farm Features.
The broadcasts consist of a talk by
specialist each day except Sunday. The
talks are selected for their timeliness and
attempts are being made to keep them as
interesting as possible. The specialists are
secured from the State College School OF
Agriculture, the Extension Service, and
the Experiment Station.
Response from these programs so far
has been excellent. Many out-of-state
listeners have been writing in asking for
additional information on these talks.
One of the listeners wrote in recently:
1--WE enjoy your daily broadcasts and we
profit greatly by them" Another list
ener declared: "My husband and have
been on the farm about year. We are
anxious to get all the information we
can on the latest and most modern farm
ing methods. The talks which Mr..
Nance gave ON hog killing were the best
and the clearest which we have heard"

Thursday of each week has been
turned over to the Home Demonstration
Department, and these broadcasts put on
by the agents are proving to be one of
the most popular features of the week.
Requests from all over the state always
follow one of these broadcasts.
Monday of each k has been set
aside as animal husbs Try day and these
programs are getting favorable re-
spouse. The poultry department spon-
sors program each Friday and since
there are great number of urban poul-
trymen as we'll as those in the rural
areas, the response from these broadcasts
is always good.
Other departments which have pro-
grams are: botany, zoology, forestry,
horticulture, and agronomy.
Since Station WIT in Charlotte is
one of the largest stations in the country,
having $4,000 watts, probably more peo-
pie hear the program from this station
than any of the others, although the
broadcast there comes at $40 o'clock in
the morning.
ALI of the stations have been contacted
by Gene knight, who is in charge OF the
radio work for the Extension Service,
and they report that the programs are
being well received in their sections.
The stations and their schedule of
Carolina Farm Features are as follows:
Charlotte, WIT, $40 a. m.; Rocky
Mount, WEED, 1900 a. M; Durham,
WDNC, 1900 noon; Wilmington,
WMFD, 1915 p. M; Greensboro,
WBIG, IL 80 p. H.; Raleigh, WPTF,
1885 p. m.
Station WPTF in Raleigh, has al
lowed the Extension Service twenty
five minute program. After the specialist
gives his talk. there is period of news

Southern farmer has been subject to SELL
ing his products IN an open world market
III competition with the lowest class of
labor i'll the world and at the same time
ne has been required to buy practically
everything he uses in market designed
to maintain the American standard of
living.
Little wonder, therefore, that farm
wealth has not accumulated and that the
type of home now constructed on farms
IS poorer than that built SO to 100 years
ago. Little wonder either that so MANY
farm people have tried to get away from
the farm and migrate to the other end
of the economic scale where wealth has
accumulated. Little wonder that our
lands have been allowed to run down to
the point OF no longer supporting an
adequate or satisfactory type OF farm life.
Better Understanding
Young people who under ordinary
circumstances in the first quarter of this
century would have gone to the cities
are now being backed up on the FARMS
BY the year 1910, just four years hence,
it looks as if there will be one million
more farms than at the present time. Tn
less our agricultural craftsmanship is
alert this movement may be accompanied
by lower standards OF living for average
farm people. Most of the increase III
the farm population is likely to take place
i'll the South because OF the heavier birth
rate on Southern farms. Southern farm
people are going to have to fight hard
and intelligently to have for themselves
and their children a standard OF living
that is acceptable and wholesome.
As the situation stands today, this
country is not in need of any more COM
mercial farms. In fact, three-fourths of
the present number of farms could easily
produce all of the commercial farm
products for which there is a satisfactory
market. The country is fast approaching
stationary population.
Facing A New Era
Considering the factors OF population,
the development of substitutes, the i'm
probability of expanding foreign markets,
as we'll as the improbability of increasing
domestic consumption of farm products,
it looks as if agriculture is facing new
era in which it will be necessary to i'm
prove cultivated acres to a higher state
of productivity" Mr.. Watkins continues.
1T will be necessary to secure larger
yields per acre of all commercial crops

w fully the processes w h r y
wealth in various forms is con-
stantly being transferred from rural to
urban ownership he no longer wonders
that farm wealth has not accumulated,
says ID. w. Watkins, director of the
Extension Service of Clemson College.
The flow of rural population to urban
centers is the farms first contribution to
city upbuilding, Director Watkins states.
On this point he says:
In the largest cities of the country,
those having 10000 population and
over, the number of children being reared
is 20 per cent less than necessary to
maintain stationary population. On the
other hand, farm families are usually
much larger and the number of children
reared OH farms is SO per cent greater
than needed to maintain the farm popu-
lation.
1t costs a great deal to bring child
to the age when the home ties are broken.
1t has been estimated by competent eco
.nomiStS that this cost amounts to over
$4,000 per child throughout the United
States In the South it would be less.
During the ten-year period, 1920
1929, the net migration OF people from
farms to cities amounted to about o.
100000 persons. About 90 per cent of
all these persons left Southern farms,
and represented part of the South
contribution to the development OF the
cities of America. The United States
Bureau of Agricultural Economics est
mates that these 6,3oo,oOO persons rep
resent a contribution of fourteen billion
dollars"
Rural Estate Transfers
A second wealth transfer factor is the
moving OF rural wealth to town through
the system now in vogue for the division
of estates of deceased farmers.
Let us take the case, of family with
three children, one of whom has moved
to town." he suggests. The parents
pass away, and the estate is divided. Ihe
one who moves to the city takes his share
dllu lIIFColS IL III SOi1E& lily NA1ASA PAA oS'
One of the others may buy out the estate
and continue to operate the farm but
with mortgage of perhaps two-thirds
of the sale price. If he is able to pay
off the mortgage during his life time, and
leaves all unencumbered estate to his
children, the process of division and
transfer of wealth to the city is repeated.
In the aggregate it has been estimated
that this means of transfer of wealth
amounted to three or four billion dollars
during the ten-year period Io2O-I929.
Interest and Rent
"A further method of transfer con-
sists of the payment of interest on debts
owed by farmers to city people and city
institutions. Many of these debts may
have originated through division of es-
tateS to begin with, and were carried as
mortgages constantly accommodating i'll
terest. 1t is estimated that seven and a
half billion dollars was transferred in the
form of interest OH debts during the per-
riod 1o2o-1929..
Payments of rent by farmers to other
than farm operators amounted to approx
innately ten and half billion dollars for
the period 1o2o-1929." This makes a
total of about IS billion dollars moving
from farms to towns and cities during
the decade 1o2o-1929. Thus three
and a half billion dollar annual contrlbu-

Bull did fight, say the other Indians,
for he was pre-eminently man of
peace. He was buried on the prairie
with the soldiers who had died at
the fort. A few years later the bodies
of all these were moved to military
cemetery at Keokuk, Iowa. Five
cities fought for Sitting Bulls body,
as a trophy. The Indian office de-
cided to leave him sleeping all alone
in the desolate land he had died to
save-that is, in the minds Of the
Indians.
For 40 years Sitting Bull, alone out
there in the prairie, was about the
deadest Of all dead heroes. Whites
remembered him only to execrate his
memory. He was blamed for every
supposed attrocity for which no other
culprit could be found. His name
was almost a cuss word. The Indians
themselves forgot him-purposely to
a degree because they didn't think 1t
was safe to admire him in the hear
ing Of agents or soldiers.
A few years ago they discovered,
greatly to their surprise, that they
could say anything they pleased and
| that, far of in the East and in Europe
Sitting Bull was being regarded as
a hero rather than a william. Then
the old folks began searching their
memories of the sort of man he
really was. The great droughts OF
1884 and 1886 have brought it all
to a head Out OF the memories and
the rationalizations emerges the saint
and the prophet.

ATTACKER SOUGHT
Grover Cleveland Alexander
Found Unconscious in
Street.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, August l.
Detective Sergt. Albert SEEKER said
tonight police here were seeking a
man believed to have slugged Grover
Cleveland Alexander, one of the all
time great pitchers OF the major
leagues, and to have left Alexander
lying unconscious in street early
today.
SEEKER announced he was working
on a theory that Alexander ana tne
unknown assailant had made a round
of local amusement places before the
attack took place.
Alexander remained unconscious IN
a hospital until late today. Police said
he mumbled incoherently about being
struck by a hit-and-run driver, but
later mentioned being with the al
legged assailant. Alexander, according
to the police, then said he did not
know whether he had been dubbed
or struck by an automobile.
DR.. Joseph Willis, attending physi-
clan, said he believed the former hase
ball pitcher has fractured skull.
Alexander has been here for sew
eral weeks, speaking on a radio pro-
gram and giving tips to youthful send
lot base ball players.
A National League pitcher for ~
years with the Philadelphia, Chicago
and st. Louis clubs, Alexander played
IN three world series, the first with
philadelphia in 1915 and subsequently
with the st. Louis Cardinals in 1876
and 1928. He held major league rec
ords for lowest earned runs game
most shutouts in a season and 1or
consecutive victories.

upper teeth. She returned to her
home after treatment. Helen Bruin,
7-year-old daughter of the couple,
suffered q fractured elbow, but did not
remain at the hospital.
Turner received q broken right
arm. Nine-year-old Betty Anne

happened, escaped with a slight arm
laceration. She was riding in the
Bruin car.
Mans Arm Amputated.
One person was critically injured
and seven others suffered minor hurts
in a triple crash on Snake Hill road,
miles south of Alexandria.
Charles Rohr, an employe Of the
Aero Automobile Co. of Alexandria,
was reported in serious condition
at Alexandria Hospital. His left arm
was amputated. He suffered severe
head injuries. His wife suffered a
fractured jaw and their two small chill
dren escaped injury.
The others were Mr.. and Mrs. FL

more than once, and admits he was
rather dignified, impressive old In
dian-but he didn't like him. The
five policemen killed in the attempt to
arrest Sitting Bull were Father Bern
ards parishioners and recent con-
verts. One of them died in his arms.
They all are buried in the little ceme-
terry behind the little green-steepled
church on the hillside above the fort,
and the old priest has placed there a
fine monument to them. Father
Bernard also is an idol of the Indians,
to the deathbeds of whose fathers he
has ridden on horseback over scores
of miles of snow-swept prairie in the
night. The Sitting Bull who lives in
the minds of the Indians today seems
to be a sort of combination of the
real medicine man of the Sioux and
Father Bernard himself.
Remembers Warriors Funeral.
Father Bernard remembers when
the ghost dance fervor of the nineties
was at its heighth. He remembers the
Indian policemen being sent to Sitting
Bulls headquarters on the Grand
River to bring him into the reserva-
ton. He remembers the funeral cor
tege coming back with the bodies Of
Bull and the five policemen. 1t proba-
bly, wouldn't have happened. he says,
If Sitting Bulls l7-year-old son, Crow
foot, crazed with a night and a day
of ghost dancing, hadn't thrown the
word coward" in his fathers face.
Sitting Bull had to fight and die in
order to keep the respect Of his own
son.
