The Poets Corner
Next Door To 4 Star
By St. Clair Kirton

INSPIRED while on board an American Airlines fla
ship en- route to New York City,.
Text door to a star looked from aloft
And viewed with amazement our dear Mother Earth;
Her glittering adornment something to
AS she posed in exquisite ingenious worth
Her layout was perfect - precise in detail,
And she proudly displayed all there to be
perpetual carnival of froIic and fun
Designed by the subjects Of this gracious Queen
Next door to that star peaceful and sweet,
Engrossed in contentment IfelI in a doxe;
And when awoke was nearing the earth
My hop was completed. L felt like rose!

Employment in U. 5.
AT Peak in September

Total employment in the United
States, excluding farm workers, do
mestics and armed forces personnel,
set a new record of 1886, 900 in
September, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported. yesterday.
This was rise of 1000 over
August and gain of about 1900, 900
during the previous five months, de-
spite some slackening in several soft
goods industries Seasonal employ
ment for Christmas probably will
bring further increases, the bureau
said.
While contract construction en-
ployment was at a peacetime peak
of 2,257 900, it leveled off last month.
A feN building material industries
such as lumber, brick, lime, cement
and gypsum showed slight employ
ment drops.
Shortage of castings normally
supplied by strike bound firm was
one factor in keeping automobile
industry employment at a some
what lower total than a year ago,
but the industry had small gain
during the month, the bureau said.
Food industries reported the
largest employment gains in the
non-durable division. Employment
in textile and leather groups de-
creased, especially in cotton, wool
en- and worsted Anills.

Our Farmers Lose Another Round

wi FdImGIS Lose HnOtnef KOunQ
WHEN the ST. Groix Agricultural Association offered
its prosperity, personal and real for public sale, St. Croix and
the Virgin Islands, suffered a setback, more significant and
farreaching than many people think about The offer to sell
was an admission that the Association had failed in its initial
purpose, and was ready to close shop.
THE St. Croix Agricultural Association is a cooperative
sponsored by the Farmers Home Administration, formerly the
Farm Security Administration, for the purpose of helping local
farmers find added income by producing and using in differ
ent ways, farm products. 1t was the initial idea that a one
crop system is detrimental to any farm economy, shown time
and again, and proved by statistics. While cane was the best.
cash crop local farmers had, and it served its purpose, yet
that purpose was not too narrow, and all things considered, it
was not serving the small farmers as well as it might. Vege-
table crops, including tomatoes, could be grown in short
time, with little effort, and would, at the same time, give
the farmer something to supplement his cane, and thus
raise his level of living. These vegetables could be sold
fresh, and the surplus canned and sold locally and exported.
HAVING given careful thought to the program the
Farm Security Administration set out enthusiastically on its
dream. But snags were soon met. Local squatters and small
holders did not accept the idea fully. They hemmed and
haWed, twisted and turned, and for a long time could not
see anything in the world but cane, and still do not see it.
The result was that they did not give their fullest support.
and the program fell through. Enslaved with the idea that
vegetables should be produced in only small quantities and
bring high prices, small farmers could not see that it would
profit them to produce tomatoes, for example, at between
one and two cents a pound. They insist on believing that
tomatoes should bring 10 cents and Up. With this THOUGHT
they failed to produce, and the result is shown by the an
nouncement Of the sale Of the canning factory equipment.
TO disprove the faIlacy of the idea that we can do
nothing beside plant cane, the Experiment Station under

P. Q. Box I3I. Frederiksted
, 1948-04-13

Director Ben Foster has ex-
ported tons and tons of to-
matoes, and has done a fine
job. Why, then, could not the
small farmers do he same
coperatively.
THE time is coming when our.
people must stop enslaving
themselves, and learn that
there are other things to be.
done, and other roads to be
followed. The Farm Security
Administration, in an uphill.
fight tried to wedge its way
into the life of the small far
mer showing another, and I'm
doubtedly better way. 1t
tried to show the value of ami
mails, the advantages Of crop
diyerSification, and the bene-
fits of a live at home program,
but the work was necessarily
slow, and not at all spectacu-
liar. The reasons for this are
obviously, the principal ones
being the age level Of the far
mers, the dyed-in-the-wool at
titude towards cane, and skep.
ticism towards anything and.
everybody new.
EaI
IT WAS a sorry day for.
St, Croix when the AgricuItur-
al Association was forced to.
sell its equipment. By 50 do
inv it lost a golden opportun-
ity to help itself and the far
mers Of st. Croix, who, Lord
knows, need all the help they.
can get. But it is nothing new.
that the Lord will only help
those who help themselves.
