Anderson Sees
Revolution On
South S Farms
Urges Balanced,
Diversified
Program For Area

WASHINGTON - (SNS) - De-
clarine that a r evolution IN the
Southern farm economy Is uiloer-
wav. Secretary of Agriculture Ciiii'
ton p. Anderson told farmers III an
address at North Carolina state
College last week that a "eil-pai-
anced, diversified agricultural pro-
gram is the pattern for the future
in the South.
The Secretary praised the white
and colored farmers OF North caro-
lima for the leadership which they
have taken III the farm reVolutlop
Of the South. Colored farmers OF
that State number $1,000. making
up 90 percent OF all farmers III the
state. They farm 2,728,000 acre. or
Is precent of the States iarin
land.
Reviewing the progress which the
North Carolina farmers have made
in diversification. Secretary Ander-
son said. Just think back TO the
North Carolina OF 20 years ago
Then your dominant crop was cot
ton. For so years cotton acrt age
had gone up-up and up until IN
1926 North Carolina harvested close
to two million acres Of II. Cotton
was the king or North Carolina just
as il was king Throughout most OF
the Southland.
And cotton was a tyrant n the
South. making demands that were
hard on both the people and the
land. Cotton. IN a world that was
coming TO be run by mechanical
nower. required hand labor. and
from il an economy based on the
unit Of a man with chopping hoe,
On a man with a mule. Cotton de-
creed clean-tilling. and erosion fol-
lowed the cotton rows, as night
follows day. stripping the mantle
Of topsoil from millions of acres. ="
Continuing Secretary Anderson
said, Furthermore, too much cot
ton and the system of farming that
cotton encourages, usrped acres
needed for the development of the
highly diversified agriculture of
which the South is capable; it held
back the production of milk, eggs,
meat, and vegetables needed to
provide a full, nourishing diet for
your farm and city people"
Pointing 10 the diversified farm
ing program of North Carolina, the
Secretary said, But in the past 20
years the farmers of your State,
among ctne,$, have maze dec
mirirr alive positions in higher
headquarters, the most recent of
which was with the Theauer Fiscal
Director in General MacArthur's
headquarters. AS Representative
of the Fiscal Director he toured the
Pacific Theater from Australia to
Manila via air promoting savings
among Negro troops.

vices. Should / change Jobs?
Ans: Your job is especially fitted
to YOU and you have found it inter-
esting and enjoyable for all these
wears and il should really upset you
mere than you think to give it up
now. Knowing your employer as
we'll as you do, you might discuss
the matter and il is very likely
that an increase in pay can be ar
ranged. The manner in which you
approach this subject will probably
determine whether you will get this
matter handled fav0rably so go
about ii in as courteous, and pleas
ant a manner as possible. If you do
not succeed the first time it will at
least be under consideration with
your employer which will be step
i'm the right direction. In the mean
time, shcw that you are deserving
of raise.
L. j. ST. am deeply in love with
a man and he is going with anoth-
er woman. She gives him her mon
ely and / want TO know if he loves
me or does he cares more for her?
Ans: Regardless of his feelings
for you if he is going with and ac-
cepting money from another wO-
man, you do not want to get too
deeply involved Draw the line right
now. . either he gives uD the 9TH
er lady or you let him know that
you intend to get out and make
new acquaintance. Choose a friend
who is able to stand on his own
feet financially.
