W. 7. Couch Offers Plan To Aid
Southern Agricultural Problems
University Press Director Believes
Is Simple"; Proposes Establishment of Numerous Farm
Colonies to Be Fashioned After Those in Tennessee.
o
A farm colony plan which he
believes is as sensible as it is
simple has been advanced by W.
T. Couch, director of the Uni-i
versity of North Carolina press,
who has recently edited a book
embracing a symposium of
views on "Culture in the South,"
which has attracted national at
tention. His proposal calls for the
establishment of numerous farm
colonies which would be fashion
ed after those formed in North
Carolina by Hugh Mc-Rae of
Wilmington and by the federal
government at Norris, Tennes
see. Couchi, however, would
establish the farming village on
a different principle from Mc
Rae's and would have it less in
dustrialized than the Tennes
see colony.-
Method Proposed
Of the six "million farmers in
the United States, approximate
ly one-half are in the south. Of
this number one half are cotton
farmers. By & further reduc
tion, according to Couch, one
half of these could raise suf
ficient cotton both for lA6m use
and for export. But this would
have to be on the condition that
they till soil best suited for cot
ton production and employ the

Murchison Has Cold
Dr. C. T. Murchison of the
school of. commerce has been
home sick 'since Friday with
bad cold.
Plan to Be "as Sensible as It
most improved farming meth
ods.
"Texas can raise cotton sev
eral cents cheaper than the
states located in the southeast.
Although other sections might
later become able to produce it
as cheaply," he says, "the only
sensible thing to do at present
is to let Texas raise more.'V
. The press director explains
that the , majority ,of cotton
farmers are of , the tenant class.
This is significant due to the
fact that many tenant families
have been displaced as . a. result
of the governmental plan for the
reduction of cotton acreage.
Landlords, instead of reducing
the number of acres held by
each tenant, found it more prof
itable to dismiss some of the ten-
Pants . and allow the acreage of
Ithe remaining ones to be the
same. . . . . ..
Government Hurt Farmers
"While federal aid has been a
good thing," Couch goes on to
say, "it has hurt the tenant
farmers a great deal. If allot
merits were made on the basis
of the family-sized ff arm, then
the family farm as an economic
unit could be protected. But
