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

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
