THE DANBURY REPORTER. Established 1872. LETTER FROM CO. AGT. SEARS l GOOD ATTENDANCE AT THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS TO EXZPLAIN THE NEW PRO GRAM IT IS SIMILAR IN MANY RESPECTS TO LAST YEAR'S PROGRAM; The. community meetings that have been hi Id for the purpose of- explaning the '37 program have been well attended. During the past week 4 meetings were held wjth a total attendance of 3SO. Another meeting is scheduled for Thursday night at Sandy Ridge at which large attendance is expected. Two of the meetings were held in connection wjth the showing of a movjng picture .by the Soil Conservation week before last. At these two meetings 625 people who have heard the 1037 a total of approximately 1 people who hafe heard the 1837 program explained since Mr. Floyd spoke at Walnut Cove on February 20, this, I think, is an dication of the interest the farm ers of Stokes have jn their farm program. Program Differs Slightly Front f That of Last Tear. .. 1 r Thp '37 program i 3 sj.niliar in many respects to that of '36, the principal difference concerns the soil conserving crops necessary on each farm was determined on a percent basis. For example, the amount of soil conserving crop for a farm should equal 20 per oent of the tobacco base plus 15 per cent, general soil depleting base, but this year the amount of soil ronserving irops necessary will depend upon a soil conserv ing base established for the farm by the committee . This base is being established on the basjs of of what the farmer has been do ing in the past. If a soil conserv ing base of 10.0 acres j 3 estab lished for a farm and if 25 per cent of the tobacco base is 4.0 acre 9 and the farmer declines to reduce the full amount, then the amount of soil conserving crops necessary to get the maximum payment will be 14.0 acres. However, if the supervisor on checking the Farm finds only 2.0 acres of soil conserving crops the 2.0 acres is all the farmer can pay for reducing his tobacco. | Ho can not get payment for re ducing the other 2.0 acnea. In other words, the payment for reducing tobacco will not be made on an acreage greater than the mt conserving acreage on any farm in 1937. The soil conserv ing crops that ar« counted soil conserving, are about the same asflast year. We can still use L soybeans, velvet beans, field peas, HmdA eowpeas, even though they K*r« cat for" hay. Last year credit Rpnillfl not be given for eowpeas or buy other legume sown broadcast Bp* eoiu. but this year credit can Pl» 'ghtfifc ,>T&e ,«nt|ra- a~*ftge tried ih this manner will be os mi and the takb * Jlk* Volume 66 Death of Jas.

People Interested in Soil Con serving Picture. ( Mr. B. D. Robertson and Mr. |A. C. Metz of the Soil Conserva tion Service at High Point showed I a talking picture on soil conserv ation work at a number of places jin this county. The picture, since it has been out, has been in great demand and has been shown over a wide area. While they were in this county, the picture was shown at Sandy Ridge, Walnut Cove, and Pinnacle schools to a total of 1,075 school children. It was shown at Francisco and King at general farm meetings. While in the county, it was shown approximately 1,760 people. The picture was veity educational as well as entertaining and it la hoped that we will be able t 0 show a similiar p*cture in liie other parts of the county. It is realized more and more than ever that visual education is one of the best ways to teach adult people and" the United States Department of Agricul ture in co-operation with Exten sion Service is doihg more along this line every year.

QUOTED. i Washington, March 17.—The P. ??.idciit's program with refcr ! cnco to the Sunreme court of the i United States continues to over | shadow all other national issue. - !. • ids appeal to the country in the lorn c-f one of his radio "fireside hats" is being widely discussed. J Hearing? on his proposal are | drawing large crowds to the i • ooms of the Senate Committee 'ri the Judiciary. Proponents and I ipr!r>Ti?nts of the measure are hawing the'r line for battle. In •ther v.'or '? another important i: American history is being waiter:, vhatever that chapter say fir a' 1 • record, j In t' i" connection it is interest ing to ithe oath of members of the Supreme court. It follows: "I do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to I the poor and the rich; anj that I will faithfully discharge all th 2 duties incumbent on me a=s Judge, according to the best of my abili ; ties and understanding, agreebly !to the constitution and laws of the United State 3." Whatever may be the viewpoint of any individual with regard to the present Supreme Court issue, considerable stress must be laid on the last sentence of the above oath reading "agreeably to the Constitution and laws of the Unit ed States." Frcm this it would seem that the laws of the United States—and the laws are the acts passed by the Congress and sign icd by the President —have equal standing with the Constitution. The President contends that they have not been given- such stand the current and widely-discussed ing by the eminent Supreme court justices, and here is the basi3 of issue. Let me quote what others have 1 said. The illustratious Abraham Lin con, declared in his first inaugur al: "The candid citizen must con fess that if the policy of the gov ernment, upon vital questions af fecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litiga tions between parties in personal actions the people will have ceas ed to be the>r own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent "tribunal." The great Justice Holmes, who I ever held aloft the light of justice for all said: "It must be remembered that of people In quite as great a legislators are the ultimate guard ians of the liberties and Welfare (Goatia«4 m 4* Ifcff# Thursday, March 18, 1137 PIPE LINE FROM DALTON TO KING THIS IS BEING LAID TO RUN' WATi-;R FOR Ni:w ROAD BE ING BUILT NEWS ITEMS 1 Ol' INTEREST FROM K'.NG. !
