The money which >iag been distributed in this section has done its part in stimulating local business recovery and, more import ant, prevented suffering among many people. The Enterprise is cognizant of an undercurrent of criticism which is somewhat sweeping in its general condemnation of relief workers. That many of them do not give a full day's work is not disputed because some of those on relief are not capable of performing the work of an average employee in good health. However, after mentally making allowance for this class of workers, we find some criticism remaining, with considera ble emphasis being placed upon the inability of certain employers to se cure the labor which they need and desire. In considering the criticisms which are heard, especially where the com plaint involves an inability to get laborers, one would be wise to ascer tain whether the real complaint is based upon a lack of willingness on the part of the workers to take other jobs or a desire on the part of em ployers to get workers at unfair wages. Too often, we fear, the basis of the grievance is the inability of an employer to get workmen at what amounts to starvation wages. We do not endorse the relief pro gram without any reserve whatever because it is impossible for us to be adequately and completely informed about its many details. Undoubted ly, in such a vast undertaking, mis takes have been made and errors committed. Basically, however, in view of the unemployment which ex ists in the United States, we think that the relief program has prevent ed wages from dropping delow the starvation level and thus not only served as a source of support to those included in the program, but as an insurance against excessive wage cuts to common labor engaged by private enterprise. The economic growth of this coun ty, as well as other sections of the United States, depends upon the gradual rising of the wage scale, particularly for common labor. Whe ther employers enjoy reading state ments like this or not, they should realize that the benefits which will flow to them will more than offset any seeming disadvantages.

Coggins, who left this week for her home in Spartansburg, S. C., is having the following recipe printed in these columns: Angel Re Beat whites of 4 eggs until stiff. Add to eggs, 2/3 cup powdered sugar and 3/4 cup granulated sugar and beat thoroughly. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Pour on brown paper in pie pan. Bake in slow oven 325 degrees, 45 minutes. When done turn upside down on plate. Spread 1 cup whipped cream and sprinkle with grated cho colate. Put in refrigerator for 3 hours. Miss Coggins, popular and beloved instructor of Home Be in the local school for several years, during which time she has almost worked a mira cle in the transformation of an un attractive dwelling into a lovely .and well equipped Home Ec Cottage, and the only one of ita kind in the State, is to be married on June 30. JOHN H. PRIYETTE Spring Hope.?John H. Privette, 56, died Tuesday morning in Duke Hospital after an illness of several months. Funeral services were held at his home near Spring Hope at 3:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon with the Rev. Dr. W. B. Cullom and the Rev. Jay Motley, pastor of Peach tree Church, officiating. Burial was in Pine view cemetery here. Surviving Mr. Privette are his wife, Mrs. Molly Annie Privette; four children, Lucille, Cornelia, Vev erly and Stephen Privette; two sis ters, Mrs. J. M. Whrieas of IWrflfe, Hope, and three brothers, W. W. and The welfare of the Nation largely ] is dependent upon the farm families ^ of the South. This keynote was struck at the j Older Youth conference held at State ,3 College last week and attended by 101 North Carolina farm boys and , girls from Perquimans County in the east to Haywood in the west. The family as an institution is the bulwark of the Nation, but in the hig cities the family is breaking down, said Dr. 0. E. Baker, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. While the birth rate is declining seriously elsewhere, it still exceeds the death rate on southern farms, and in 100 years, he said, most of the nation's population will have descend ed from southern stock. "You young people hold in your hands the destiny of the Nation," he declared, "and you have within your power the ability to build up a coun try that will endure through the ages." Col. J. W. Harleson, administra tive dean of the college, also stated that economic changes are bringing agricultural districts to front, while great cities built largely on wealth produced elsewhere have already seen their heydey. Dean L O. Schaub, director of the State College extension service, point ed out that one of the major prob lems of agriculture is how young people who wish to start farming can secure land of their own. Few have the capital required to buy and equip a farm of any size. The purpose of the conference, said R. L. Harrill, 4-H club leader at the college who had charge of the con ference, is "to give information, training, and inspiration which will help young men and women select intelligently the vocations for which they are best fitted." Besides the addresses and recrea tion, the boys and girls were given advanced instruction in agriculture and rural homemaking. Intelligent Farming Puts Grower On Feet Reducing a $6,500 mortgage on his farm to $325 in four years through intelligent use of his land is the story told by an eight-mule farmer of Halifax County to W. O. Davis, farm agent of the State College Ex tension Service. Asking that his name be withheld, the grower told how he raised noth ing but cotton, tobacco, and peanuts before 1932. Being a money crop farmer only, he bought all food and feed for himself, his tenants, and his livestock. A $6,500 mortgage held by a Bank in Halifax blanketed his farm when that bank closed. The note was sold to another bank which called for pay ments. All the farmer had left was one bale of cotton. This he sold for $19.35 which he gave as an interest payment When the AAA program was start ed in 1933, this farmer balked at the provisions but finally was forced to come in under the act However, once he signed he followed the pro gram to the letter from 1933 to the present time. By following the program and rais ing more food and feedstuff and less of the money crops, he has been able to reduce his note at the bank from $6,500 to $325. At the beginning of the present crop year, it was not necessary that From being a critic of the farm program, he has changed to ohe of ita most enthusiastic supporters. Agent Davis says this farmer recently came to him greatly distressed because he had heard reports that the program would be discontinued. ? ?- - Low yields and poor prices are reported by growers of Irish pota toes and snap beans. in Carteret County. ? The acre of hemp planted as a demonstration on the farm of W. D. Barbee of Seaboard, Northampton County, is up and growing niicely. Stokes County report the best small grain crop of recent years with excellent acre yields being secured at harvest. The spring hay crop of Rocking ham County, especially the barley crimson clover, oat and vetch mix tures have yielded tremendous pound- j age of high grade hay, reports the farm agent. I DR. V. H.
