S. High Questions Answered About Resettlement | 'ThiR i.i question Two of a series of questions and answers about the Resettlement ; Administration which are being published each week in the Democrat. Is the program of the Resettlement Administration Communistic or Uto- { dan? Answer: The program of the Resettlement Adntini?tr?tirtri is in no, ense of the word communistic. It is in attempt on the part of an agency ' >f the government to offer new op- j >ortunilies in rural areas. In order j .0 do this Resettlement is advocating ! 1 live-at-home program of diversified j arming, which encourages the own- 1 ?rship of small family sized farms. I [f we can make home owners out of i >ur rural population we have pre- j served one of the strongest bulwarks ( >f a democracy. The Resettlement i Administration is encouraging the j levslopment of cooperatives among he farming population, but far from >eing communistic and radical, the . :oonerative movement is as old as! America; in fact older. Cooperation; vas established when the first fam-\ ly worked together to get the house- ! lold tasks done. A cooperative is just a private busiless owned by all those who use it. Cooperatives are not experimental; hey have done a constantly increasing business in America and in near- j y every country in the world for 11 any generations. The program of the Resettlement Administration is a practical, busiless-like way of helping destitute and ow income farm families. The rehabilitation program is primarily concerned with making loans ;o needy farm families. But Resetdement is practical about these loans. JVc know that many farm families lave failed because they did not have .he proper training. After providing oans by which they can obtain proper land and proper equipment. Resettlement undertakes also to see hat tliev have the advantage of ex-! aert assistance. A farm and home 3lan. is worked out for each family ,vho receives a loan. If the plan is; mtisfactory, the family can be put' :>ack on its own feet, will no longer be on relief, and will be able to re3ay its debts to the Resettlement Administration and to other creditor j The Resettlement program first of! ill sees that the families who move from poor land to good land are capable of producing a fair rciuiu per acre. The farms are large enough to furnish enough acreage for a profitable full time farm. The families selected are those who are capable of operating a farm of their own. The families are given forty years in which to pay for their farm9 and the interest is three per cent. They are provided with well-built homes in arder that the maintenance costs will lot be great.

JinUTE WSTK ?vi * I*' ATTRACTS THOUSANDS j ^ After an absence of two years, j m farmers and farm women flocked to T the State College campus July 27- rt 31 to participate in another success- tc ful Farm and Home week. ci Cancelled last year because of the h; state-wide outbreak of infantile par- in alysis, the event this year attracted thousands of both old and new at- tl tenders from ail parts of the State. G The season was somewhat marred V by adverse weather conditions, first T by a heat wave and then by rain. Had it not been for these inclement eon- f ditions, the attendance probably would have been boosted by several hundred. Those attending went through a g five-day period of education anil re-' a creation. During that time they heard! tl many prominent agricultural leaders j tl speak on various phases of farming.! is Among the speakers were: J. B. Hut son, director of the Soil Conservation v program in the east central states; tl Edwin A. O'Neil, president of the p American Farm Bureau Federation; Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Pro- v\ gressive Farmer and Iiarry A. Caton. o ac-rci&iy ui tue i\<iuon<ti orange.

J., widely known folk- j song and ballad collectors, were at Pinnacle Inn all last week. Mr. Henry's latest work ''Beech Mountain Folks Songs and Ballads" 3 on which he collaborated with Mau- .( rice Matteson, director of inusic at the University of South Carolina, has t just come off the press. ^ The ballads in the book were col- a lected arranged, and provided with n piano accompaniments by Mr. Mat- a teson. The text were edited and the foreword written by Mr. Henry. e: The frontispiece of the book is an h etching of Beech Mountain bv Ruth h Doris Swett. It also contains a plio- 31 tograph of Nathan Hicks of Sugar b Grove, Beech Mountain, N. C? with his dulcimer, with which he accom- " panied the ballads he sang for the '< collection. 3 In his foreword Mr. Henry says: y "Beech Mountain, North Carolina, the 0 district in which the songs in the col- " lege were recorded, is one of the ' shorter cross-ranges lying between the Blue Ridge and the Alleghany mountains. It looms up near the e borders of both Tennessee and Vir- c ginia, and looks across the Elk River ^ valley directly into the majestic face ' of Grandfather mountain. The entire region is rich in history and tradi- 3 tion. It is an unspoiled corner of the world. Its people are the descendants of some of America's finest pioneer stock. They have inherited their ballads, preserved through oral transmission, from their ancestors, who 3 brought them from the mother coun- ~ try, just as they brought their high spirit." The collection contains 29 mountain ballads with their airs. "A ballad without the air." Mr Henrw states, ''is but half a ballad," Effective August 2, your BALTIMORE SUNDAY AMERICAN will not go on sale until Sunday morning.

IRE PRECAUTIONS LISTED BY SERVICE Dry weather is adding to the daner of forest fires in many timbered reas. according to reports made to ic United States forest service. In ; ic southern states high hazards cx-! it over wide sections. Emphasizing that each day of score drought increases fire dangers.! o r> J ic forest service lists a number of recau tions. Smokers are urged to smoke only j hile stopping in a safe place, clear f all inflammable material, and j ever while traveling in the woods, j latches should be broken, to be sure Iiey are out, and pipe ashes am! cigrctte stubs should never be thrown : lto brush, leaves or needles. The service suggests that campers j crape all inflammable material from spot five feet in diameter before utiding a fire and place the flames ii a hole in the corfter of this spot way from trees, logs or brush. In breaking camp, fires should be j xtinguished with water, drenching j oth the coals and small sticks and 1 overing them with dirt. Brush should j icver be burned in windy weather I /hen there is any danger of the fire j p reading. Where possible small forest or ! irush fires should be put out, while ! 11 conflagrations should be reported ! o the nearest warden or ranger. HEED AND COVER NEEDED FOR BIRDS The farmer whose land is well tocked with trees and broomsedge ften wonders why he should make ujjiuvcuiciiui igi wikiiuc. George Becker, junior biologist of be Soil Conservation Service, says hat woods do furnish some cover nd food, but they must be supplelented by other food cover more suitble to the needs of birds. Broomsedge fields In general, he xplains, supply the birds with very ttle food and cover. Since they arbor such predators as rats and nakes. they cannot be considered the est sources of wildlife food. Winter is a difficult season for on-migratory birds. They are often :ft in a weakened condition in the pring to raise and protect their oung. This weakened condition, ontinues Mr. Becker, leaves the birds lore susceptible to diseases and atncks from enemies. As a large part of our birds are ist through agencies of storms, disase, and enemies, he points out, we an reduce this loss a great deal by lanting shrubs and sowing grains for ood and cover, while at the same ime helping to control soil erosion nd improve the farm from the aeshetic and economic standpoints. Crooked husbandry lines are the ule in Europe, but in the United Itates, especially west of the MLsissippi. straight lines are common.
