Grassland fanning, contour tillage
and reforestation are conserving
our soils and ushering in a new
era of good living on the land.
The South is setting the social
pattern for the rest of the nation.
The South's rural population is
young and vigorous. Due to the
high birthrate on Southern farms,
the South with only 27 per cent
of the nation’s total population
actually accounted for 59 per cent
of the national increase in pop
ulation of the United States, dur
ing the war period. We are rear
ing in many rural communities of
tho South four boys and girls for
each one that will be needed in
the agriculture of tomorrow. The
other three will leave the farm
and move to town to -make their
contribution to an urban civiliza- 1
tion. Industry is tapping this rich
rural resource which augurs well
for the future of Dixie.
Of the nation’s two million 4-H
Club members, 61 per cent live ]
below the Potomac. The South •
has 55 per cent of the 500,000 stu- l
dents studying agriculture in Amer- 1
ican high schools. It is upon the 1
broad shoulders of these informed ;
and inspired young folks that the
South’s agriculture is moving for- '
ward. Their far-flung projects to 1
educate and elevate the farm fam- 1
ily have written a thrilling chap

Superstitions,
Traditions Mark
New Year Scene
Traditions and superstitions
have long been a pail of the New
Year scene around the world.
The Chinese believe one must
pay up all their debts if the New
Year is to be a successful one.
The English, on the other hand,
consider it a good idea to start
a savings account on Jan. 1, since
what you do on the New Year’s
Day is indicative of what you will
do the rest of the year.
One of the most widespread
superstitions concerns the "first
footer”, the first person to enter
a household on New Year’s morn
ing. In early days, women and
light-haired men were considered
“unlucky” first-footers.
Ancient custom in Japan was to
scatter parched beans about the
house, supposedly driving away
evil influences and inviting good
luck to enter.
The Romans were accustomed
to hanging tiny masks of Bacchus
upon trees and vines, the idea be
ing to impart fertility to every
side of the tree to which the masks
were turned by the wind.

of the world once baked special
