Where would you look
for a lonely farm2

TITY folks used to think farm life lonely
~ life. /
Today, automobiles telephones, and above all
electricity have nearly ended loneliness the farm.
Electricity turns dark into day. pumps water milks
cows, grinds feed-does dozens of other chores
brings entertainment and market reports.
Who brought electricity to farms?
The business-managed sef-supporting electric
companies began the job some 80 years ago. They
did the pioneering developed methods ans,
equipment learned to meet the problems Of
weather and distance and continued to bring
better and cheaper electric service to and
farms
For years this company has had liberal rural
extension policy. We will build electric lines to supply
power practically any farmer group of farmers
within the We pay all the costs Of
making these line extensions and deliver electricity
to farmers the same low electric rates that paid
by city In instances rural customers
pay moderate increase in the minimum charge.
Electricity does all the chores around farm better
and cheaper-at the time it trees manpower and
increases farm profits.

Prudence And Thrift
In Hiqhwa Spending

With increased ownership and use
of motor vehicles, atomotive tax re-
ceipts r reaching unprecedented
heights and making more money
available for more roads to serve
more people than ever before.
Realizing that this highway fund
prosperity is no excuse for needless
spending, officials in several states
have taken a realistic approach to
the highway problems inherent in
present high prices and shortages.
They r most sensitive to these
shortages and high costs in drawing
up their highway plans.
In speaking to his State Legisla-
ture, the Governor of one of our lar
ger States declared: There are GER
tain limitations that necessarily must
be imposed on any highway con
struction program--We must mea-
sure the need against prevailing
prices, availability of materials and
labor, our opportunity to obtain COM
petitive bidding, and our capacity to
design and supervise new high
ways"
In another large State the Cover
nor told the legislature: 1--WE must
weigh carefully the use of scarce ma
terials and the inflationary effects

clares bluntly that unless our current
civilization can provide the pri-
mary necessities of life for its peo-
pie, it cannot endure. And today,
mot more than 20 to IS per cent Of
the population of the world enjoy
food, shelter and clothing on a health
standard" This the challenge of Sir
John Boyd Orr, director General of
the Food and Agricultural Organiza-
ton of the United Nations, the one
man officially responsible for carry
ing out measures to end the wide
spread mass hunger which has con-
tinued three years beyond the actual
fighting war.
The food issue made its appear
ance at the timely hour when the
United States Senate was voting on
final amendments to its European
Recovery Program. The House of Re-
representatives. faced the same re-
sponsibility. No thoughtful American
should fail to read the March II is
sue of this magazine.
AS a contribution to this decision,
Survey Graphic has collected evil
dence and testimony from around the
world--the drop in rice production in
Burma, India and China, shortage of
fertilizer throughout Europe, child
rem in dozens of countries whose
fatal and ~unsatisfied need is for a
bare minimum of milk.
The Marshall Plan is recognized
as the immediate and specific hope.
Beyond that, however, the issue
points out the FAC conferences this
winter and spring in Baguio, P. l.,
and Cairo, dealing with needs no less
insistent than those of Europe.
Paul Kellogg, distinguished edi-
tor Of Survey Graphic, in his for
ward, emphasizes the INTERPOLATION
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1948-04-01

of high construction costs against
the urgency for a particular project,
Actually, we have reached the point
where we must deliberate case by
case. Increased tax rates." he said,
would encourage the free spenders'
to make even greater demands on
our State Government"
These sentiments were strengthen
ed in the Presidents recent message
to Congress on the extension OF FED
eral highway aid to the States. Mr
Truman said: 1--WE must limit ex-
penditures to avoid excessive costs
resulting from overtaxing the cap
acity of the construction industry
and to avoid inflationary pressure on
the national economy"
Yet a hint of future tax demands

between the worlds needs and its
SURPRISES, the "tinder for discon-
tent" in hunger's external and in
ternal pressures, and warns that ito
plan peace and not reckon with food
is to build on q~uicksand."
The current food issue is the four
teenth in Survey Graphic's notable
Calling America" series of jumbo
sized numbers, extending back at the
rate of n or two each year to the
original calling America" issue OF
February, 1889, which shook up the
country to recognize the overhanging
threat of Hitler's war. Appearing
each time as the current monthly
number of the magazine, these spec
ials have brought together authori-
ties for full discussion of whatever
subject was most acute at the mo-
ment.
Among those dealing with various
angles of the food crisis in the cur
rent Survey Graphic besides Sir
John Orr and Mr.. Kellogg are Wis
count Bruce, chairman of the new
World Food Council of the FAC, Sir
Norman Angel, Assistant Secretary
of State Willard Thorp, Under Sec
rotary of Agriculture Norris E. Dodd,
Professor Joseph E. Chamberlain,

He reviewed the obstacles that all
honest nations have encountered,

nation that not only refused to CO.

peace, "but--even worse, has actively

the fact that Russia has vetoed Il

able this system is. We find, of
course, that Negro workers re-
ceive many millions of dollars
less pay than the same number
of white men doing similar jobs.
But that is only part of the
profits from Jim Crow.
We look further and we find
that southern white workers re-
ceive far lower wages than their
brothers in the north. 1t is then
that we get some measure of the
tremendous fortunes which are

The fight against monopoly
