Plaques Builders
In Money Squeeze

A lot of people have been tell
ing builders that the market
for the moderate-price house is
not as good as for the bigger
and better"-and more expen-
Isive-house.
Among these are officials of
the Nations lending institutions,
who have been making no secret
recently in their talks with
builders of their greater willing
ness to provide conventional
financing for upper-income FAM
lilies than for lower-and-middle-
income families.
Among them, too, are many
people who make the products
that can be sold to builders of
bigger homes.
This pressure, together with
the higher cost Of money and
the greater difficulty in finding
low cost land. has pushed build
lers generally into producing
more and more houses that low
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES people
cant afford to buy.
Builders increasingly recog-
nize this to be a dangerous trend.
They know that a high level of
production depends on keeping
the mass market. They know
that to keep the mass market
they must hitch their prices to
the income of average families.
They know, too, that if they
fail to do this they will be adj
versely criticized and may even
tually lose the initiative they
have gained in their battle
against public housing. Mort
gage people also realize that q
drift away from the mass mar
ket may have unfortunate re-
suits in the end.
Yet the drift persists-and is
being intensified daily-aided
and abetted by folks who will be
hurt if the BODYBUILDING BUSH
ness can't get back on the track
of building homes for the great
mass of the people, rather than
only for a small part of the
population.
Dangers Are Cited
This week a most conserva-
tive organization warned of this
very situation. Referring to the
tight money problem, Clarence
M. Turley, president Of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards, said:
There are several very dis
tinct dangers in this situation
which we must do our utmost to
prevent.
1.-THE first and most important
is to oppose and avoid the ex-
panSion of direct lending on
the part of the Federal Gov
=.
1.-The second is that the
public housers and left wingers

yet producing more than ever
before in history. Our farms in
these seven counties are truly
family-size farms, averaging
only % acres. 1t makes it a must
to grow crops with high per acre
income if we stay in the bust
ness.
l believe if we are to preserve
our family size farm that we
must concentrate our efforts i'm
mediatcly upon the growth and
marketing of good crops that
will provide income for some
displaced tobacco farmers, and
we must double our efforts to
provide industrial employment
for others.
Mechanical farming no long
er requires huge man power re-
serves - except in food crops
that still generally demand hand
labor. And mechanical farming
has witnessed vast growth in
these seven counties in recen,
years. In 1880 these counties had
only ABA tractors, in 1910 they
had ga. In 1850 the number had
jumped to 5,l3l and then in the
next five years, to 1855, the
tractors in the seven counties
increased to 1885.

ately here, and throughout the
tobacco belts of the
Carolinas, we do not have in

placed farmers. We are thus
steadily losing a part of our
population and even more i'm

OF the young people with good

suitable jobs in our area.
As this exodus away from the
farms sends our population to
industrial areas, persons in eve

as will churches, civic efforts
and community development.

made by a large delegation OF
businessmen and civic leaders

some figures on this movement
away from the family size farm:
In these seven counties previ-

farms in 1920 was 1888. This
INCREASED to 1889 by 1850
But from 1850 10 1855 II &c
creased from 22,932 to 22.916 OF
a loss of GIG farms.
The number OF farm owners
in these seven counties In 1920
was 1854. This jumped TO 49,
334 by 1850 and then decreaed
by 1913 from 1850 70 1855.
The number Of farm tenants
in 1920 was 5123. This increased
to 1877 by 1850 and then drop
ped to 6.826 by 1855, a loss OF
l249 and they did not become
farm owners either as the previ-

all these problems for us. We
have to do something to help
ourselves without too much de-

sides and other tax assisted
programs. These measures at the

ped unless we use some fore
sight and constructive thought
to do something for ourselves.
God has provided for his peo-
pie from the beginning of hist
DRY but except for the Garden
of Eden and the man and quail
TO the children of Israel, he has
demanded effort on the part of
his creation and man has been
forced to live by the sweat of
his brow. This effort will have
to continue in the future as it
has in the past, and in our area
we can not concentrate that eff
fort on the growth and sale of
tobacco to the extent we have in
the past.
This area has always been
able 10 adapt its economy to a
changing world. We started out
a generation ago with ton limb
cr, then the lumber and saw
milling business. later to turpen-
tine, then strawberries and cot
ton and in more recent years
tobacco. We can again shift our
emphasis on other commodities
and maintain high income and a
good standard of living. But we
do have problems and they are
increasing.
Last year the IL percent cut
in tobacco acreage forced about
600 persons off the farms of
Columbus county. Many left the
entire area for employment in
the North and West. This year
with another 20 percent cut, We
stand a very good chance of los

more from the farms of Column
