Entered as second-class matter November 14,1914, at the Postoffice at Chapel Hill, N. C., under the act of August 24, l&li studying the home state ! United Statesinl920.-UniversityNews " „ TT - 1 Letter, Vol. VIII, No. ^J2. This issue of the University News ! Letter is devoted to an exhibit of the studies of the home state at the Uni versity during the college year of 1921- 22—one hundred and sixty-nine in number, not counting the thirty-four studies by the North Carolina Club, of Home and Farm Ownership in North Carolina, in other states, and in other countries. There have been more than a thous and such detailed studies of life and livelihood in the home state, made by students in the department of rural social economics at the University dur ing the last eight years. And it has been a whale of a job for the staff of this department. Verifying the data, checking the calculations in the tables, inspecting the graphs, charts, and maps, guiding the interpretations, simplifying the results and passing ' these on in abc ways to the people of the state, calls for unlimited toil, time, and patience on part of students, teach ers, the seminar librarian, and the stenographer. One study alone has kept everybody busy in the department work-shop for more than eight months—the study of Imported Food and Feed Supplies in the state, in the counties of the state, and in all the states of the Union; this last to determine the status of North Carolina in this foundational concern of commonwealth progress. Assistance Needed We have all been brought to a keen realization that the task we have under taken—the task of helping North Caro linians to know North Carolina is far beyond the physical powers of four people, a full professor, an assistant processor, a seminar librarian, and a stenographer. If the department of Rural Social Economics at the University is to serve the state to the full limit of its possi bilities both now and in the years ahead, it must have the necessary, work-shop assistance. Which means, for the present, a full-time laboratory expert, competently acquainted with the whole field of social economics, natively in terested in the country-end of our civ ilization, and—what is rare—capable of constructively dealing with the problems and puzzles of actual life and business in North Carolina. The bookish man is not easily and usually a student of foUcs and affairs. The man we .need must be secured, properly salaried and con ditioned for service to the state till the end of his life, and held against tempt ing offers elsewhere. The need for such a man is urgent, if the worth of this department to the state is to move on toward a maximum. Without him, we cannot hope to serve North Carolina better and-better. And a man or a department that does not grow in magnitude and significance is not worth having at all. How Carolina HanKs 1 Farm Wealth Per Rural Inhabi tant.—E. W.

Who never to himself hath said. This is my own, my native land! Whose heart hath ne’er within him burned, As home his footsteps he hath turned. From wandering on a foreign strand! If such there breathe, go mark him well; For him no minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim; Despite those titles, power, and pelf. The wretch, concentered all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown. And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonored, and unsung. 15 Farm Wealth per Country Dwell- er.-University News Letter, Vol. VIII, No. 25. 16 Crop Values per Farm Worker. —University News Letter, Vol. VIII, No. 23. 17 Farm Production per Worker.— University News Letter, Vol. VllI, No. 18 Per Acre Crop Values in 1921.— University News Letter, Vol. VIII, No. 22. 19 Total Bank Account Savings m 1920. —University News Letter, Vol. VIII, No. 21. 20 Bank Account Savings per In habitant.—University News Letter, Vol. VHI, No. 19. 21 Books in Public Libraries.—Uni versity News Letter, Vol. VIII, No, 13. 22 Crop Wealth Produced in 1921.— University News Letter, Vol. VIII, No. 12. 23 Public School Expenditures, To tal and Per Capita.—University News Letter, Vol. VIII, No. 11. 24 .jFarms Using Gas and Electric Lights.—University News Letter, Vol. VIII, No. 10. 25 Farm Tenancy in the United States.—University News Letter, Vol. VIII, No. 4. 26 Debt-Free Homes.—University News Letter, Vol. VIII, No. 3. 27 Tenants and Renters, Town and Country.—University News Letter, Vol. VIII, No. 2. 28 Manufacture in 1919.—Univer sity News Letter, Vol. VII, No. 50. 29 Farm Crop Values in 1919.—Uni versity News l?;etter, Vol. VII, No. 46.
