room for 560 new farm families, al
lowing them 75 1 acres each after
retaining 50,000 acres for wood-lot
purposes. . An increase of fifty
per .'cent In farm population and a
afebr. balanced farm system by
small , nomerownlng, anners wjould
mean better' country churches, bet
ter 1 schools, better roads, greater
prosperity, better business for the
trade centers' and mora of social
life and spirit. '
Such are some of the problems
that challenge solution In Pasquo
tank ; They grow out of condi
tions' that affect every business and
very-body in the countyfarmers,
merchants, bankers, schools and
churches, la town and country alike.
. ' Co-operative Solution Of
. ; ' i County Problems
- Not one of these problems can be
solved by the farmers alone, nor the
merchants alone, nor the bankers
lone, nor the teachers alone, nor
the preachers alone. The larger In
terest of all these lies in collusion
Hot In collision? In co-operation,
not in contest. '1 If so be they are
an selfless servants of the common
good, there can le no strife and
truggle. ( Every good thing is
possible in a f community in which
community, welfare and , wejl-belng.
loom larger In the publlo mind than
tho unconcern : (the. greed of in
dividuals or classes.
Famers, manufacturers, trans
porters," traders, and bankers .are
closely knit Into an Intricate whole
of business dependence. They are
1 members Of one body; and when
one suffers all suffer.
' The farmer alone Is not likely
to bridge the gulf between , pro
ducers, and "consumers of farm pro
ducts. He needs the .help of the
boards of trade an J the transporta
tion companies., Nor can he alone
olve the problems of rural credit
He must have the- help, of the sup- j
ply merchants and bankers. t And
. the tenant farmer with the generous
ficlp of his landlord ' easily, . rises
into farm and 'home ownership:
ti(1 bard'y so otherwise.
On the oilier hand our city civil
ization is dependent' on our farm
regions. This year for Instance,
the farmers of the United States
have, contributed to the necessities
of the world six billion dollars
worth of newly made farm wealth.
WaU street he d its breath till the
last crop report came In and then a
riot of business confidence set In.
I'oor crops of poor crop
-prices in the fall 'mean
sad times in. our counting
houses and sorry balance sheets in
bur' churches. We depend pri
marily upon the farmer's field
and forest for food, clothing and
shelter that Jrintty of Inescapable
necessities in this work-a-day world.
The demand for these on the
one hand and the farmers supply of
raw materials for them on
the other furnishes for
manufacturers, railroads and
merchants their business and their
business opportunities and the bulk
of their fortunes.
We cannot blink the fundamental
Importance of our country civilisa
tion. The cities are dependent
upon the country-side for population,
tor the renewal of population, for
business and. business genius, for
civic and social conscience, and for
spiritual guidance. If the cities
were not re-inforced from the fields,
said Mr. Emerson, they would nave
rotted, exploded,' and disappeared
long ago. Three-fourths . of the
Wen in authority . in our city
churches were born, bred and ."but
tered in -the country; and the tame
is nearly true of our successful. In
fluential men of affairs, the mer
chants and manufacturers, the bank
ers and lawyers of our cities. Five
sixths of the college professors' and
sS-sevenths of the ministers of all
denominations in '' America were
born and reared in the country, says
Ashenhurst. Undoubtedly the
city is. the final challenge to Chris
tianity, but the country church is
the recruiting station for the war
fare, . It country 'churches . fall
into decay the 'spiritual well springs
of the nation have dried up.
, A countryside that is efficient
prosperous, attractive, and & whole
some is therefore fundamentally
important so in Pasquotank, and
so in the . Nation . Some seventy
cities in this country 'believe and
are acting upon the. belief that the
best -way to bniid up a city 'is -to
promote prosperity In, the surround
ing trade territory. A growing
city ought not to be like a .standing
army destructive to the region up
on which it subsists. Every city
ought to be the center of a well de
veloped food "producing territory
and soon every city (board of trade,
in sheer self defense, must nelp
the nearby farmer solve the local
markef problems of home raised
rood and teed supplies. Our farm
ers will raise such supplies in abun
dance whenever they cab turn' them
Into Instant ready .cash at a fair
price and profit; and not otherwise.
It is well to remember that no city
can safely grow fat in a lean coun
try side.
Chambers o Commerce no longer
oonflrfe their activities within city
limits; to Increases of population,
trad and real estate values; to
more factories a"nd larger pay rolls.
The new keynote of auto booster
parties was sounded the other day
in Walworth County, Wisconsin. The
business men of Wentworth stood up
in their machines and said to their
country cousins everywhere in the
surrounding trade territory:
We are not' asking; you to come
and buy from us, but to come and
sell to us. We offer for for ybur
products the best markets and fair
est prices to be found 'in our end of
Wisconsin.
"Our library and high school ad
vantages are freely yours. We have
no ordinances against the peddling
of farm products. Our open market
spaces are free. Our - hitching
grounds and camping Sheds are
ample and comfortable. They are
yours without charge, fiaily mar
ket information can be bad af our
city headquarters over your tele
phone lines. No 'membership fee
is necessary.
Our rest rooms are equipped
with books and lounges, tables
and" chairs, toilet and lavatory
facilities. Ton and your wives
will find the latch string on the
outside.". ' 't'-'l
. But also country school facili
ties ought to be as ample and effi
cient .as the cities afford . But
V cannot be so without generous.
co-operation on the part of city
property ! owners "and . ' tax -payers!.
Just as very board of trade ought
to be county . wide i in. Its concent
and activities, so' ought public ed
ucation to be a county-wide affair; ,
and every dollar of wealth any
where 'in a county ought to be be
hind the . school In the poorest
country community as well 'as in the
wealthiest city ward.
County wide school systems in
this sense, have the sanction of
law in every county of Florida.
Every dollar of school taxes paid ,
in Jacksonville is shared with the
county schoo.s of Duval County.
We have in North Carolina one
such county-wide school system. I
speak of New Hanover Schools.
No law as In Florida lays tribute
upon Wilmington wealth to support
the country -schools of the county.
City support of country schools Is
uncompelled and freely generous.
It gives an eighth month term to
every country district; it .shelters
the children in comfortable houses,'
many of them handsomely ''built
of brick. (It gives them well paid
teachers and ample school equip
ments. The people of no city in
the world have ever set a nobler
example in. the whole history of
publlo education. County-wide
Icffbol systems, on a tax basis of
this sort are being proclaimed
far and wide by Dr. P. P. Clax-
ton, our Federal Commissioner of
Education, as the hope of our
country civilisation everywhere
Again the bankers of Elizabeth
City can do more In a single year
to promote a bread-and-meat live
at home farm system in Pasquotank
than our gospel of diversified farm
ing is likely .to effect In a lifetime;
" Tenants and small farmers in
volved In a supply-merchant time
credit system of farming are power
less. They raise cotton anr to
bacco because it is nominated in
the bond; they lack the Impulse or
opportunity to raise tny-thlng else
in adequate abundance. They fell
short of it in Pasquotank In 1910
by more than a million-, dollars.
And its loss makes everybody in
the - county so much . the poorer
year by year tenants, landlords,
tradespeople, and bankers alike.: If
it could be held down in the count:
ty, the total wealth of PasquW
tank county would be doubled . In
live years: ' . T. .' :
1 ; And the .Texas , bankers afe 'do
ing exactly the thing I have, in
mind. They 1 are forcing ihe'
supply-merchants to force the farm-,,
era into a ha f and naif system; of
tanning naif the acreage In food
and feed crops ' and half in money
crops. They are refusing to dis
count a merchants paper! when it
is protected by crop Hens based on
a cotton acreage alone. It changes
the character of the supply mer
chant's business;' but It Increases
its volume and bases it on principles
of safety instead of . principles
of hazardous risk.
It Is good business policy. It
hods down in Texas the $155,000,
000 that heretofore has gone out
of the State to swell the : purses
of the bread and meat farmers of
the middle west. The same pol
icy would work effectively In Pas
quotank. But 1 must not punish an indul
gent audience further. What I
am trying to say your own thinking
will supplement and complete and
apply far better than I could do it
at any length whatsoever.
In closing I might confess my
belief that democracy as Saint
Paul had it In mind Is the demo
cracy we, need; democracy of the
membershlp-ln-one-body sort; or
ganic democracy that is more con
cerned with duties than with rights,
"democracy that thinks more of ser-'
vice to ones fellow kind, than about
doctrines - of equality; .christian
democracy that solves - by the law ,
of ' love perplexing problems . that .
never can be solved by ,the law Ot
the land. No mathematician will
ever figure out 'the' ; producer,
righteous share of the J wealth", he
produces. No legislature and no
court will ever untangle the myster
ies of economic Justice. It , is a
problem far beyond legislation, but
it is within easy reach v of every
man who Uvea close to the Carpen
ter's Son. -
The high.ca'llng whereunto we
are called is the making of ' men
not the making of money; and we
are worthy of our, calling if we
be sons of men and not servants of
mammon. j
