Service Teaching
Sound Principles
"Extension work is based upon the
philosophy of helping people to help
themselves?of showing them how to
make the best better. And what is
more conducive to the growth of an
individual, or a group of individuals,
than to make it possible for'them to
progress through surpassing their
own former efforts?"
Thus did Dr. T. B. Symons, dean
of agriculture at the University of
Maryland, contrast some present day
philosophy in farm affairs with
some sound teachings that have been
proven by more than 25 years of act
ual testing. The occasion of making
the contrast was the annual exten
sion banquet attended by all ex
tension workers of the North Caro
lina State College meeting in annual
conference in Raleigh.
Dr. Symons said extension work
is faced with a critical situation in
its development but declared that he
viewed the situation with optimism.
"I have confidence that sound ex
tension work will meet such chal
lenges and will continue to develop
as an outstanding factor in the agri
cultural economy of the country,"
he said
The extension system is challeng
ed. he said, by the constantly ex
panding system of direct contact be
tween the U. S. Department of Agri
culture and its employees operating
in the several states and counties.
"A system of direct Federal con
trol and operation is contrary to the
system which has proved imminent
ly satisfactory and successful ir
many lines. I could mention the Pub
lic Health Service, the Public Safe
ty System, the National Guard, and
the public schools." he added.
"The Cooperative Extension Serv
tee system helps farm people to be
more independent, to exercise great
er initiative, and. through education
stimulates greater enterprise."
Farmers Asked To
Sell Scrap Metal
Although farmers are asked to sell
their scrap metal as a service to the
Nation rather than as a way of mak
ing money, they are not expected to
give it away, says Dr. I. O. Schaub,
director of the N. C. State College
Extension Service.
Price, ceilings have been set for
iron and steel scrap by the Govern
ment as a means of preventing prof
iteering and keeping down the cost
of defense For a farmer "to know
what a fair price would be locally,
he must knpw the prices paid at pri
mary points, the differentials be
tween these points and his area, and
he must understand how the metal
is handled
Dr. Schaub explained that scrap
collected by dealers must be "pre
pared." Different kinds of scrap have
different {Aes and, therefore, must
ed men.
Then it must be put in a form con
venient for shipping and handling
at the mill. For example, bulky
scrap is compressed into bules, and
heavy awkward shapes are cut by
torches and shears into material that
can be bundled and shipped. The
average cost of this preparation is
$2.50 per gross ton (2,240 pounds).
The Office of Price Administration
has established that the maximum
price of unprepared scrap is the max
imum price for the corresponding
grade of prepared scrap minus $2.50
per gross ton.
Farms have long-been one of the
most important sources of scrap sup
plies, the Extension director pointed
out. It is especially important now,
he went on, that the flow of scrap
from farms be increased to the high
est possible point.

Walter Hines Pace Rejected Theory'
of the Decadence of the Enfliah
People . . .
A Fayetteville wedding, July 5,
1849, comes to mind with a renewed
interest during this era of a second
World War; for the American am
bassadorship to Great Britain is one
of the most important diplomatic re
sponsibilities in the world.
That July wedding united Allison
Francis Page and Catherine Shirley
Raboteu. To this couple a son was
born at Cary, August 15, 1855. This
was the birth of Walter Hines Page,
who, during the first World War, was
Wood row Wilson's appointee as am
bassador to Great Britain,
War crises add expanded power,
prestige, and responsibility to the
appointment that takes an American
to the London Embassy. It was an
honor to North Carolina for a native
of the Old North State to serve the
nation in that all important position
during the World War.
A few of Page's experiences and .
impressions will help the reader
form a closer acquaintance with this
native son.
His first and last experiences were
those impressions that only the
thunder of war and dead man can
engrave upon a person's memory. As
a lad, he had tried to believe that
what he heard of Civil War and its
horrors was a hoax. He had been
fooled about Santa Claus.
Soon he knew the war was real,
fur the trains brought large boxes,
coffins, containing the bodies of lo
cal men who had been killed in bat
tle.
A second impression of "Wat" Page
is to be gained from the Randolph
Macon College campus. He won the
Greek prize, and the Sutherlin med
al for oratory. He carried the prac
tice of his classical learning into a
solemn compact with a fellow stu
dent. They held all conversations in
Latin, and agreed to a heavy penal
ty for a careless lapse into English.
At forty-three Page became editor
of the Atlantic Monthly. That was
the "top" in journalism. He was pic
lured as having had enormous self
confidence, impatience of failure, and
us "being devoted vto his country,
his family, his craft?a strong, bluff,
tender man." ?
Just before the outbreak of the
World War, from his London Em
bassy, Page rejected the much dis
cussed idea of the decadence of the
English people. He reported that he
could find no "reason to believe in
the theory of decadence." He added,
"I can't see that the race is breaking
down or giving out."

Rent Green Feed For
? Poultry During ff'inter
Cured alfalfa, hay, clover hay. or
lespedeza hay make good gTeens for
winter use as a poultry feed provid
ed the green color is retained. An
other satisfactory feed is alfalfa leaf
meal, and again it is important to re
tain the color, according to poultry
specialists of the State College Ex
tnesion Service. They say, however,
that alfalfa leaf meal should not con
stitute more than 10 per cent of the
mash. All the hays should be fed in
racks since the birds will eat only
the leaves and the stems can be
thrown in the litter.
