In Matter Of Soil Con

Made
Raleigh, Dec. 8.?Addressing
ie annual session of the Norti
arolina State Grange here 01
Wednesday night, Dec. 9, H. H
ennett, Chief of the Soil Conser
ation Service, Washington, D
told members that in the las
nv years the country has mad<
far greater advance toward th<
mservation of soil resource;
ran in all preceding years sinci
re United States became a na
on.
"The national program of soi
nd water conservation now ii
rogress has carried us into i
ew era of land use," he said
Land defense is replacing th<
Id system of land waste ant
tploitation."
In North Carolina alone farm
s representing more than 400,
30 acres are cooperating wit!
ie Soil Conservation Service ant
ie State College Extension Ser
ice to conserve the soil, Bennet
sclared.
Accomplishments in Norti
arolina are typical, he said
lot only of work here but alst
i Virginia and South Caroliru
ad on to the Pacific and Can
:lian border."
Describing his observations or
3,000-mile inspection tour ol
ven southern states, Bennetl
atecl that "the condition of oui
?ricultural land in southeasterr
irming states is grim evidence
lat people of this youthful naon
have squandered their rich
ritage of productive land more
ipidly than any other nation
vilized or barbaric, of which we
ive any record."
Bennett pointed out, however
lat a tremendous area of good
>il throughout the region is stil!
rtile and productive. Many arts
that have been damaged only
oderately can be safeguarded
om further decline through the
:e of proven measures for conrving
rainfall and controlling
osion, he said.
Continuation of the present
ilicy of working agreeably and
i-operatively with farmers and
ate and federal agencies will
orthwith" bring a solution to

"Our public officers are not no
1-1 minated by a dictator, nor ap
le pointed by a king, but we selec
re them ourselves, in free elections
,y held quietly, with no armed sol
jt' diers posted at the polls. The;
Ln are our officers", the .Judge de
rC clared.
ij, "I present to you your new of
rc ficers", said Judge Cranmer, "an(
ra X commend them to you and con
gratulate the county upon th<
to | selection of a band of men
n_ i know to be fine fellows, all up
a 1 standing and outstanding men o
ls i the community. They will servi
ie well, for public office is a publii
le trust."
,j.! He then came down from thi
bench, remarking he is "no prca
is cher," and in a conversationa
r. tone discussed certain sections o
n, the state constitution.
w I He first quoted the preambli
;g and said it shows that the gov
Id ernment of the state is based 01
a- the sovereignty of Almighty Go<
and of the people. Referring t(
re the section which declares al
a- men "are created equal", he sai<
n, this refers to the equality of al
to men "before the law."
"When the humblest man it
ie the state, whether he be whit<
iy or red or black, is not protect
t. j ed by the law, then the governoi
rs! in his mansion must tremble foi
Id his safety, for when all men art
in not equal before the law, ther
the end of safety for all is al
rt hand," he declared.
,y j Quoting the section relating tc
a. i liberty, he said he thinks the fin
;e j est and most accurate definitior
re of true liberty is "a due regarc
id for the rights of others". He exid
plained that the constitution does
e not guarantee happiness, but lea>;
ves to each man the privilege
iof seeking his own form of hapr,!
piness, guaranteeing "the pur
id suit of happiness."
t- Discussing religious frcedorr
I that is guaranteed in the constir
tution, he called for tolerance
d | saying, "Remember that in exerit
[ cising each of us our inalienable
right to worship God according tc
d the dictates of our own consciil
once, our neighbors and all othr
ers have the same right."
He said under the constitution
fjno human authority has the
l-1 right to interfere with the dic?f
j tates of the individual's conscio1
ence.
d I Though he did not refer to the
n special session called to enact
n Social Security legislation, Judge
j Cranmer stressed the fact the
i-1 state constitution sets forth exi-!
plicitly the duty of the state to
n care for the poor, the unfortun -
ate and the orphaned. He told
d of these functions of the state,
'and said he feels that a mark of
civilization is the rejection by
government of the theory of the
'survival of the fittest and the
5 care the state gives its aged, infirm
and orphaned. He expressed
