News and Comment From Raleigh

THOMPSON GREENWOOD
WAGES Farmers of North Car
olina are paying twice as much for
their hired help as they paid three
years ago $2.50 a day now as
against $1.25 in 1940. This may
seem high, but in the State of
Washington farmers pay $8.00 ia
day for their help; North Dakota,
$7.90; California, $6.90. The $2.50
paid per day in this State is the I
average: higher in the East and
lower in the West. It all depends
upon the distance to the nearest
big-wage defense area.

time before moving to New York
State, Park, who is around 35 years
old, was editor of Carolina Co-ope
rator, organ f the Cotton Growers
Cooerative Association. Raleigh
he found too slow for his talents,
and he has moved into faster com
pany and is making the grade.
STORK The other day Army
paratroopers were practicing their
jumps down in an isolated section
of Hoke County, about 40 miles
from Fort Bragg. A pharachutist
floated down over a field in which
lived an old farmer and 15 chil
dren. One of the youngsters saw
the parachute floating down with a
man attached to it, and he ran into
the house yelling, "Bring your shot
gun, pappy that blamed stork is
bringing 'em in full-grown now!"
NOTE The rural poppulation
of North Carolina in 1940 was 237,
019 more than in 19302,597,448
for '40 as compard with 2,300,429
in '30.
RURAL Rural population, say
the statisticians, is that population
that is situated in tho country and
in towns less than 2,500. The
"rural'' population, then, is 74 per
cent of the total North Carolina
population. However, the strictly
farm population is only 48.4 per
cent of the total.

FEDERAL AID Dr. Frank P.
Graham, president of the Greater
University of North Carolina, de
clared recently that "in 1930 the
farm people in the United States
obtained nine per cent of the na
tional income and yet supported
3 per cent of the Nation's children."
Dr. Graham is for the proposal of
Federal aid for education as an
equalizing measure. Senator J. W.
Bailey remarked a few days ago
that he is against it, but he did
not say why he is against the bill.
Many hot-headed Southerners and
some who are not so hot-headed
are afraid Federal money for the
schools will put control of educa
tion in Washington and will result
in white and colored children go
ing to the same schools.
OUR PART If the bill provid
ing Federal aid to the states for
public schools passes, North Caro
lina will receive about $13,000,000
of the approximately $300,000,000
which will be provided annually.
This is just about half of what the
teachers in this State receive dur
ing the fiscal year ending last June
30. During the past year this Old
North State gave 84.30 per cent
of the $30,442,359.17 expended for
education to its teachers.
Winter Weather
Hit Haywood Over
Past Week-End
Old Man Winter blew his first
wintry blast on Haywood over the
week-end, sending the official mer
cury down to 18 on Monday morn
ing, while a blanket of snow as
deep as three inches fell on some
of the higher peaks in the lower
end of the county.
Max Patch had a heavy blanket,
while Crabtree Bald, peaks in and
around Fines Creek and White Oak
were covered. About an inch fell
at Cataloochee Ranch over the
week-end.
This is the earliest snow that
some of the oldest residents of
the county can remember.
Numerous pipes were frozen,
and much trouble was experienced
in getting some cars started. Sev
eral school busses ran late Monday
morning because of trouble with
frozen gas lines.

I Haywood milk producers will re
ceive approximately $100 per day
j above present milk prices, since
the government has provided a
subsidy of 40 cents per hundred
j pounds on milk from the farm.
The plan went into affect October '
first, and will be under the juris-!
diction of the AAA, who will make i
payment direct to the farmers for;
the extra money earned. j
Under the plan, the present retail
prices of milk will remain the same,
it was pointed out here.
The congressional action set up
65 millions of dollars for the in
creased payment to producers to
help take care of the increased cost
of production.
County AAA officers pointed out
the importance of keeping an accu
rate feed cost for the period of
October 1 to December 31. This
will be studied by agricultural offi
cials, and their findings will deter
mine the continuation of the sub
sidy plan, and also the amount to
be paid later. The program is de
signed to take care of increased
feed costs and stimulate increased
production, and it is to this end
that the government is studying the
actual costs of each producer in
evtry section of the country.
Producers will benefit from the
plan on all milk produced in Oc
tober, and the local AAA office will
prepare checks covering each pro
ducer when the complete bookkeep
ing systtm is set up.

Farmer Well, I dunno, we ain't

One Job Well Done Begets Another
np HERE S no satisfaction in all the world like the feeling of
having done a jod wen oj oeing a Die to see the results of
your work. This is one thing that all producers of useful things have
in common:
And those of us whose job is production whether of goods on
farms and in factories, or of services in stores and banks and utilities
can best see the results of our work in the high standard of living
which we have helped to create in America. For this standard it
built on our ability t,o produce more per person than any other
nation on earth. And the people of every country, who are looking
hopefully to us for food and weapons, can count on America because
it has this great productive might.
After the war is over? Many people are talking about a richer life
for all of us then. And they're right! For that richer life will be
brought about, not by promises, but by hard work on the part of
America's producers. And they those who grow and make and do
things can do this post-war job better if they work together and
inderstand each other. Central Electric Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
