SIX Resettlement To l Familes I Farm families in North Carolina wno are aided by the Resettlement Administration will be advanced funds for the purchase or lease of land, equipment and subsistence goods, according to Horner H. B. Mask, of Raleigh, director of rural resettlement for Region IV, which is made up of Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and W. Virginia. "All advances will be properly secured by mortgages on real property, on personal property or on crops, and are repayable within a reasonable period," Mr. Mask said. I "The Resettlment program has two main phases," Mr. Mask said, "rehabilitation, the temporaryphase. and resettlement, the permanent phase. "Rehabilitation," Mr. Mask ex planed, "was inherited from the' FERA, which had taken 290.000 w.cn/lor cure' rhirino" the taiiiiiico " ?0 year ending July 1, 1935. These families had been taken from direct relief, and helped to become, in part, at least, self-supporting. A farm and home program had been laid out for each such family. Agricultural extension work- , ers have now assumed joint re- , sponsibility with the Rural Re- , settlement division for planning , and supervising this program,, which is being continued as the i temporary phase of the Resettle- ] nne.it Administration activities. t "Resettlment deals with four Jna.n groups, as follows: j "1. Farmers living on lands ivhich car.not be cultivated to the advantage of the farm family or ( the nation. A preliminary survey , by the National Resources Board J indicates that about 450,000 farms , including 75 million acres of land, j should be devoted to uses other i than arable farming in order that j both the natural and the human ] resources of the nation may be < conserved. 1 "2. Those among our 2\'2 mil- t lion tenant farmers who are ca-1 pable of rehabilitation. "3. Young married couples with I farm experience. j' "4. The more capable and in-1' clustrious of the 'rehabilitation' fa-j* mil.es. 11 "The purpose of Resettlement Is not only to help the farmer himself but to help the nation as a whole by stabilizing that seg, mc-iit of the nation's population which has been shifting back and forth between country and city? i comprising in times of depression a large percentage of the total unemployed. "A good many rehabilitation' and resettlement families will be i placed on individual tracts. However, a number of group settle-1 ments have been planned, a few j completed and occupied, and others under construction. Projects begun under FERA and the Department of Interior have been turned over to Resettlment Administration. "It is the heart of the resettlement program to rectify many of the mistakes made during this nation's great, unguided rush for farm lands. But not everything I the resettlement administration is going to attempt is in correcting j errors made by previous generations. Thousands of families are now living in what were not dis- j advantageous locations at the time they were settled, but the economic scene has so shifted ;nce the day of their settlement \ lat these areas are no longer j ipable of providing a satisfac-1 Pffll % I have sold mor M than all other r been satisfied.

"An illustration of this type of thing is to be found in the Appalachian and Ozark mountains. At the time the first settlers entered these mountains, there were natural resources there, upon which the pioneers lived, but which are no longer in existence. In the first place, these pioneers were not farmers in the sense that we think of farmers today. They were largely hunters and trappers and survived on the basis of plentiful game and fish. Shortly after they settled in the mountains, the lumber industry began, and for a generation, and in some cases two or three gen- j erations, they made quite a decent living, working in the woods and in the lumber mills. In a great many places there were coal mines, zinc mines, copper mines and other mineral rcsour-1 ces. "Now the game is gone, the timber is largely exhausted, the iron, coal, lead, and zinc mines are in some places closed. The result is that the population which moved in to do certain tasks, or to exploit certain natural resources t is now left stranded because the resources are gone. The people of this ?roup constitute one type of Am-1 jrican farm families that will be | served in the resettlment pro-. jram.
