VIEWS GIVEN
ON PROPOSED
CONSTITUTION
150 Pages Devoted to Tell
Principal Issues Involved
In Proposed Change
All of the issues involved in the
proposed constitution for North
Carolina are presented from a non
partisan point of view and are sub
jected to a searching analysis in the
current issue of ''Popular Govern
ment," the official organ of the Insti
tute of Government, which has just
been received by local county and
city officials and many members of
the bar. ? ? "
The study was made by Dillard S.
Gardner and Henry Brandis, associ
ate directors of the institute. The
comprehensive and fair treatment giv
en the proposed basic law has evok
ed much favorable comment from
those who have seen advance copies
of the publication.
of the booklet to tell the full story
about the constitution. It begins
with an historical outline of the con
stittttions of?North Carolina?past,
present and proposed. It compares
the provisions of the present and
proposed constitutions, the principal
issues involved and the main consid
erations urged for and against it by
its advocates and opponents.
The booklet is divided into eleven
articles under the following general
headings: "The Bill of Rights," "The
Legislative Department,'* "The Exe
sslhc?Department," "The Judicial
Department," "Revenue, Taxation and
Public Debt,** "Suffrage and Eligibil
ity to Office," "Education," "Home
steads and Exemptions," "Public
Welfare, Institutions and Punish
ments," "Agriculture, Industry and
Miscellaneous," and "Amendments,
[Existing I-awt and Offices."
"The Institute of Government
neither iponion nor opposes the pro
posed Constitution," said Albert
Coates, director. "It does propose to
stimulate free and open discussion of
this thorough-going revision of our
fundamental lam in free and open
forums throughout the State. In the
effort to make this analysis fair and
impartial Mr. Gardner and Mr. Bran
dis have (I) discussed it with Its lead
ing advocates and opponents, (2)
studied their public uttersnces, (3)
submitted the results to them in
manuscript form for further sugges
tions and criticisms, (4) quoted from
their own arguments in their own
words, and (S) tent advance copies
to representatives of groups of offi
cers and citizens throughout the
state in order to incorporate ail points
of view into the final printing. Other
issues and points of view which will
inevitably develop ai discussion pro
ceeds wilt be correlated and set forth
in subsequent issues.
MEET IN
WASHINGTON TO
MAKE NEW PLANS
Various Counties to Be
Represented at Meeting
August 16
North Carolina Emergency Re
lief Administraton farm and garden
supervisors, case workers and voca
tional agriculture teachers will meet I
in Washington, N. C., August 16 to
formulate plans for a fall and win
ter farming program under the Ru
ral Rehabilitation Division of the
NCERA. The meeting was called
by George Ross, State director of ru
ral rehabilitation, and Roy H.
Thomas, State supervisor of agricul
tural education.
Counties to be represented at the
Washington meeting are Beaufort,
Hyde, Dare, Tyrrell, Washington
and Martin.
?Aims of the program which is <
by the above named counties, and in
all sections of North Carolina, arc
to increase \hr vocational ability-?nf
farm families now on relief by teach
ing them better methods of curing,
storing and preserving foods.
The program also is aimed towards
giving instruction on rural problems .
and assisting in planning local rural
rehabilitation programs by planning
rotations, farm layouts, terracing,
pastures and other land improve
ments and instructions in new and
unproved practices for both iigricul- y
ture and local Industry.
The vocational agriculture teachers,
farm and garden supervisors, and
case workers in each coupty will di
rect the work of the program, and its
supervision.
Austrian Winter Peas
Suggested For Fall
Though?all three at. the winter
growing legumes commonly planted
in North Carolina each (all are nearly
equal in value for forage and soil im
provenicnt;~Tr appears that tins is the
year to plant heavily for Austrian
winter peas.
?"My reason,. for?making?th+??sug
gestion is that the seed of the Aus
trian pea U:^eon)paratively low in
price as compared with crimson clov
er and. vetch," says Enos C. Blair,
extension agronomist at State
lege. ''Field deinotistrati""s sfro^v
that when lblWrr fli'mgsrhVe iwpT
crimson clover, .vetch and Austrian
winter peas make ahout the same
yield ot hay. They also give ahout I
the same increase in soil fertility
when turned under; but, for some
reason crimson clover seed and vetch
seed are. high in prce this season and

if the winter pea* may be purchased
at a less price there it no good rea
son why they may not be substituted
for vetch"and clover."
Blair aays the price of crimson
ktover seed is nearly three times and
the price of vetch seed it over twice
that being asked for Austrian winter
peas. Assuming that 20 pounds of
either clover or vetch or 30 pounds of
Austrian peas is the right amount to
sow on one acre of land, the cost of
seeding the vetch is 50 per cent more
than for the peas and the cost of
seeding crimson clover is about 200
per cent more.
He suggests that all growers plan
ning to sow a winter cover .crop this
fall, investigate the possibility of j
planting the Austrian peas.
