Friday, September 27, 1940. THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Page Thre* Long Term Leases For Tenants Big Advantage Practice of MovinK Each Year Costly to All Concerned, Proctor Points Out It’s land leasing time again for tenant farm families In Moore coun ty, but that shouldn’t always mean It’s moving time, W. T. Proctor, Farm Security Administration Supervisor, said this week. "For years many tenants in Moore ■county have followed the practice or custom of moving each year,” he said. “This has become such an ex pensive custom in the loss of human and natural resources that it has at- tracted the attention of agricultural leaders of the nation. ‘‘Surveys have shown that it costs the farmer $50 or more each time he moves and the landowner’s loss is even greater. The community also loses by so much moving, because the families do not stay in a community long enough to contribute to its well being. “In attempting to help the farm families rehabilitate themselves, the Farm Security Administration, in co operation with the Extension Serv- ice and other agricultural agencies, has worked out a flexible farm lease that provides a basis for longer term leases which benefit the tenant owner and community. “Many of the troubles of farm fam ilies are due to shortsightedness. Too t)ften farmers have planned on a one- year ba.sis because of a one-crop sys tem of farming. We have learned that this does not pay because it brings poverty to the people and steals the fertility of the sfeil. “Under the FSA’s rehabilitation program we are urging the farm tenants to secure long term leases— or leases with renewal clauses—and we are seeking the cooperation of the landowners in this program. Low in come farm families need long leases if they are to rehabilitate themselves and the land tJiey farm. “Owners know that it has been the practice of tenants to mine the soil each year—but with a long term lease, it is to the advantage of the tenant and the landowner to work to. gether to improve the fertility of the soil. The FSA aids too by establishing environmental sanitation programs in some counties where the tenants have long term leases.” Owners and tenants intere.sted in learning more of the flexible farm lease may obtain copies of the lease at the FSA office.

THIS BUSINESS OF •Y susanIthayiC “THE LONG AND BKTTER DAYS ...” Blank Books, Card Files, Desk and Office Supplier at Hayes.’ A great man stood before the mic rophone the other day In a city scar red by bombs. Fires were raging at the docks of tis historic river and tbore was a threat of greater bomb ing in the night to come. The man spoke calmly, courageous ly to the people of an harassed em pire. He told them of the situation as it stood that awful day and warn, ed them of the impending danger of an invasion. There was no effort to minimize the frightfulness of the or deal before them. Yet there was no sign of flinching. He called upon them to remember the greatness of their past and to realize the significance of the baitle they were waging. Then In closing that magnificent speech, Winston Churchill turned for a moment from the horror of the present conflict and, looking toward the future, spoke con fidently of “the long and better days that are to comei” If the Prime Minister of Great Bri tain, in suth an hour, could speak with confidence of the Future, how much more hopeful should we be, here in the United States. Not only because we are an ocean away from the actual conflict but because this country of ours was founded for the sake of those “better days" as they were visioned by our forefathers 20^ years ago. With our representative democray and our free enterprise system, we have already come nearer than any other nation to those “better days" of which great men in every age have dreamed. The highest standard of living the world has ever known . . . education for a larger per cent of our young and those precious priv ileges of being able to say what we please ... to write what we think . , . to go to the church we believe in, has made this land of purs the envy of the world. Yes, we have endured 10 years of “hard times’’ during which, for the I first time "in our history, we have j failed to advance our standard of living. But our country is still rich ! in natural resources . . . still under- I I populated . . . and we still have that genius for invention, production and I organization that has built up the greatest Industrial system ever knovmi When the world finds Peace again and Industry can once more devote itself to the production of the myriad items that make the life of the aver. age man and woman easier and%nore beautiful and our power as a na tion to an increase of individual op portunity, then indeed those better days will come nearer) 666 Checks MALARIA in 1 days and relieves COLDS Symptoms first day Liquid — Tablets — Salve Nose Drops Try “Rub-My.Tism”—* Wonderful Liniment.
