Soils And Souls Discussed At Rural Life Meet One of 15 rural life meetings and agricultural tours conducted under the direction of Vladimir E Hartman, field secretary of the Council of Southern Mountain Workers, was held here Thursday at First Baptist church. W. M Landess, of the Agricultural Rela tions department of TVA. was the principal speaker. He illustrated his lecture by the use of slides on the soil and its relationship to the soul. In concluding his remarks, Mr. Landess quoted the following from a recent story he wrote on "Soils and Souls": "The two great mysteries thai intrigue the human mind are soils and souls. Out of the darkness of earth in some strange, unfathom able way comes growth, life's mani festation. From soil, air and water are drawn the crude elements that life constantly enriches until we finally call the form they have erected man. "All his physical beinr is bor rowed from these great 'stores in nature and in the end all are re claimed into the original store "Out of another mysterious un known world comes that equally little understood, highest part of man we have termed his soul. If these physical elements we regard lightly are guided in nature through processes of enrichment we call growth, then certainly those highest attributes of the human being must likewise be grown through some mysterious process of development and finally garner ed into the store of treasured things. "Great strides have been made in soil knowledge during the past few years, yet no one can yet ex plain how ?dirt' is transformed into plant, animal and finally human in tricacy and grandeur. We do know that quality of soil determines quality of human life in a real, ma terial wa\. We. likewise, know human beings grow and thrive in those mysterious attributes we call his soul. If we can link together in our every day work and tasks these two great common growths, then man's personality can reach its highest form and enjoy its rich est life." Following the morning meeting, luncheon was served at First Methodist church, and then a tour to several farms in the county was I made. Attending the luncheon w ve ;Mi. Hartman. Mr Landess. Rev.
