Defective Relations
Make Poor Land Use
Defective landlord-tenant rela
tions is one of the major causes of
poor land use in North Carolina, ac
cording to Dr. C. Horace Hamilton,
rural sociologist of the N. C. State
College Experiment Station.
That this is the case is evident
from the results of a survey of 43
farms located in Caswell County.
One of the causes of poor landlord
tenant relationships, the searchers
found, is the fact that many of the
landlords do not live on the farm or
in the immediate vicinity of the
farm.
Dr. Hamilton said this makes fre
quent contact with the tenant diffi
cult or impossible. It is well known,
the sociologist continued, that fre
quent contact between the tenant
and landlord is necessary if the
farm is to be organized and operated
efficiently.
Another cause of poor relation
ships is the general absence of defi
nite rental arrangements. In a large
majority of cases, the arrangements
are oral rather than written, which
gives ample opportunity for misun
derstanding between the landlord
and the tenant.
The . present rental arrangements
do not include any definite provision
with respect to the details of organ
ization and operation of the farm.
On the contrary. Dr. Hamilton
pointed out, they merely stipulate
in general the types of crops which
shall be grown and the division of
the receipts that will be made. With
respect to minor details, the arrange
ments are partially defective.
Nor do the rental arrangements
provide for the production of crops
and livestock products for home
and farm use. This defect is of ma
jor significance, especially in low in
come areas such as Caswell Coun

Salary Payments
Show Big Increase
According to Department of Com
merce estimates, salary and wage
payments in the United States for
the seven months ending July 31st
increased 20 per cent over the same
months of 1940. In the same period
what are called "entrepreneurial"
profits?that is, profits of business
men and industrialists conducting
their own activities?rose by 8 per
cent ;and in the sam period dividend
payments by corporations increased
by 5 per cent. Which gives an idea
of where the money is coming from,
that accounts for the record-break
ing spending that has stimulated the
amusements and recreation fields,
and travel, as well as setting new
records in department store sales, au
tos, household appliances and sun
dries.

Sassafras Trees, Cut From Minis
ter's Crave, Were Used for Mak
ing Church Furniture . . .
Long ago, two sassafras trees were
cut from a church grave yard and
were used for making church furni
ture There is nothing unusual about
nary wood, but these two trees were
monuments marking the grave of
one of Carolina's pioneer Presbyter
ian ministers, Rev. Alexander Craig
head. They memorali/ed the life of
a man who experienced the hard
ships associated with frontier life in
western Pennsylvania, Virginia and
North Carolina.
When Braddock's Kngljsh Army
was defeated during the French and
Indian War, Alexander Craighead's
family and their neighbors were left
exposed to the incursions of the sav
ages. The frontier settlements were
broken up, and the settlers were
driven into the interior. The nar
row escape of the Craigheads was re
lated often by a daughter who mar
ried Rev. David Caldwell, famed for
his "log cabin"'classical school.
Mrs, Caldwell used to say, when
relating the hardships and perils of
frontier life in Virginia, that they
went out one door as the Indians
came in?the other. When they dc
parted, the Indians were close at
hand, and they narrowly escaped
with their lives. Time did not per
mit the taking of property and furn
iture.
Alexander Craighead came to
North Carolina and settled in the
Sugar Creek community, a few miles
