TODAY and
TOMORROW
\ (By Frank Parker Stockbridge)
Canada
' Canada's census of 1931 bas just
been completed and it shows the tot
al population of the Dominion to be
almost exactly ten million persons.
That is an average increase of about
fourteen percent in ten years, which
is a fairly rapid "growth?a faster
rate, in fact,, than the United States
showed between 1920 and 1930. It is
not very many people, however, to
populate Canada's enormous area.
The Dominion has 3,600,000 square
miles, which is 6G0,000 square miles
larger than the United States. Our
population i> aboft thirty-eight per
sons to the square mile, and Canada's
is - fewer than throe persons to the
Kqusre mila.
r- This vast and largely undcveloj>ed
area to the north of us still holds im
mense possibilities for the pioneer
and the explorer.
Vitamines
We hear a, lot about vitamines uud
the necessity ot eating foods con
taining them, but few people ,"*re able
to keep the list in mind. Here is a
simple, concise list of the common
foods which contain the vitamines es
sential to health:
Vitamins A?Milk, butter, fresh
clieese, eggs, green, vegetables (spin
ach, lettuce, etc.), yellow vegetables
(carrots, yellow com). Vitamine B.?
Germs of cereals, liver, yeast, lettuce,
raw fpeau its, YitamSne C?Lemins,
oranges, grapefruit, raw cabbage,
and sauerkraut, sprouted grain
peas, tomatoes, lettuce, watercijfcss,
iiuuip? or fcfccu peppers. A itamine
D?Liver and cod liver oil, egg yolk,
snails,sunshine (that is sunshine on
the body actually causes vitamine D
to ^appear in the body, which aids
botae growth, prevents rickets,' pre
other vegetable qHs, freah meat and
animal fat, tresh lettuce. Vitaminie F
>?Same foods as vitamins B. Vin^
mine G?Fresh or evaporated milk,
Kver, preen vegetables, fresh or can
ned, tananas and yeast.
Gas
I,
Enough natural gas is being pro
duced in file United States today to
provide six times as much energy as
all of the electric power stations put
together..
New Natural gas fields of enormous
volume bare been discovered and de
veloped in the past two years in
southern New York and northern
Pennsylvania, and fn many other sec
tions of the United States. I know
some counties in which almost every |
farmer has his own gas well.
i Probably enough natural gas has
been allowed to go to waste in the
'past fifty yews to supply the whole
ration with fuel for a hundred yeais
' A great many gas fields have "peter
' (jd? out, but new ones are constantly
being brought in. Eventually natural
gas seems likely to be our chief
source of power.
Jobs
*
The hardest problem that commun
ity committees on unemployment have
to face in using the funds raised for
unemployment, relief is linding or
making jobs for the class often called
''white colLr workers".
It is comparatively easy to make
work for J he manual laborer. New
York is doing this by all sorts of
street, park and waterfront improve
raehts. A good many wh|ite collar
workers are being provided work in
collecting information which various
public and senu-public anstilfut^ns
need, buPin ordinary times hare felt
they could not afford to collect. One
New York business house suggested
a house-to-house canvass of the city
to find out how many domestic elec
trieal appliances of all kinds were in
use, and on condition that this in
formation should be available to
every distributor of electric appli
ances, one of the unemployment relief
agencies put a thousand men and-wo
imen at work on salary, ringing door
bells and gathering these statistics.
There is no community so small
that some work of that general na
ture cannot be found for unemployed
who are not able to do manual labor,
and who arc unwilling to fake charity

Launch Plan
To Increase
Farmers' Pay
Farmers, farm agents, vocation*
al agricultural teachers, home demon
strators, merchants, editors and civic
leaders from all over Western North
Carolina will hold a get-together
meeting in Ashevilb at the Plaza
Theatre Monday evening, December
14 at 8 p. m. to hear Frederick F.
Murphy, publisher of the Minneap
olis Tribune, and Charles F. Colli
son, its agricultural editor, explain
how the world-famous "Minnesota
Plan" can. bring a new era of pros
perity to this mountain region, and
how parts of it can be applied Iwre.
The underlying purpose of the
movement itsrto teach the city and
town business men to cooperate with
the fanners in building better agri
culture and creating better markets
at home find abroad. There can be
110 real prosperity without a pros
perous agricultural population.
The program, which will be launch
ed at the. meeting to be held under
the auspices of the Ashcvillc Citizen,
The Ashcvillc Times, ana station
WWNC, through the cooperation <>t
fartu agents and other jSUtito and
county officals, is one that is ex
pected to challenge the imagination
of the forward-looking farmers and
point the vay to permanent agricul
tural prosperity in -western North
Carolina. The North Carolina Exten
sion Department has moved uk an
nual two day regional meeting to
Asheville to be held in conjunction
wiih the big get-together meeting on
December 14th.
The speakers are regarded as the
foremost leaders of profcfiBsive farm
thought in America today, the men
who advocated the pkm which begins
the rehabilitation of thefanfter in
fefa Uro ioiwi in &c
cavernous ? halls ofi fhe legislature.
They are the men who took a coun
try that was virtually wrecked every
time the fluctuating price of 'wheat
dropped below a certain figure, and
transformed it over a period of a
few short years into aTancL of steady
production and steady~income, pros
