In 1933 the supply, of farm labor was reported IS percent' above normal on this date and fey January 1937 the steady decline had, reached percent ,or 12 . percent below normal for this date. At the same time the demand on farms for labor ers was 56 percent of a normal for this date. By January 1937; the slowly increasing demand had reach ed 89 percent or only It percent be low a normal for January. Along with this improving trend in the labor situation, the trend in wages paid has shown a correspond' lag improvement during the five-year period. On January 1933, the aver age wage rate for the State was re ported at $14.75 per month (without board) and by January 1937 had in creased from $.70 to $1.15 per day during the period. 3&Bu?ry te the trend in farm wage1 the flections of the coun- J try, the monthly wage rates in.North Carolina, Virginia Tennessee,- and Kentucky showed . increases during (the last quarter of 1936, reflecting the town prices being paid for tobac on, and the generally favorable agri- " vufftural situation in this area. How ever, the general level of farm wages in this section is still much below that for the country as a whole, On January 1, day rates (without board) still averaged $.80 in South 'Carolina, which is lower than that for any other state. Hie highest rates recorded were in the New Eng land and Northwestern states. Swine Erysipelas Is Found In This State Swine erysipelas, or diamond skin disease, is spreading in North Caro lina, according to reports received by Dr. C D. Grinnells, veterinarian at the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station. This acute, infectious skin disease which also affects the intestinal tract, kidneys, spleen, liver, heart, nd other muscular tissue is caused by a germ that is hard to control, Dr. Grinnells stated. It may result in lameness, enlarg d joints, sloughing off of the skin, and a general unthriftiness. In ways it is similar to cholera, swine flu, swine plague, and other associated diseases, he added. The disease is not restricted to hogs. Where it has gained a firm foothold, and the soil has been po- luted by infected animals, it may also attack sheep, cattle, and human beings. Vaccination will protect hogs against erysipelas, Dr. Grinnells pointed out, and in early stages of infection the eerum treatment will alee give good results in curing the disease. Dr. Grinnells and Dr. William Moore, State veterinarian, recom mend the following precautions for checking swine erysipelas: Quarantine all animals affected. Keep healthy animals out of build ings, lots, and pastures where infect ed swine, have been. Traffic in swine should be res tricted and placed under more rigid supervision to prevent the shipment of diseased animals which will spread the disease germs. Where the disease is prevalent, hogs should be vaccinated. Keep hogs and hog lots clean. Feed the swine an adequate, balanced diet to maintain the animals' natural re sistance.

L. Moody Tested Sincerity Job Seekers Chicago While D. L. Moody was secretary of the YjM.CA. in Chicago one of his ever-present problems was the shiftless unemployed. He liked to tell of his Chicago experience: 'They would tell me of their suf ferings and how they had no work and wanted help. At last I got a number of cords of firewood and nut it in a vacant lot, and got some saws and a sawbuck, but kept them out of sight A man would come and ask for help. "Why don't you work?' I would ask. " 'I can't get anywork." " 'Would you do anything if you could get any?' " 'Oh, yes, anything.' " 'Would you really work in the street?' " 'Yes.' " 'Would you sa wood?' " 'Yes.' " 'All right.' And then we would bring out a saw and sawbuck and start them out, but we would have a boy watch them to see that they did not steal the saw, Sometimes the fellow would say, 'I will go home and tell my wife I have got some work'; and that would be the last we would see of him. During the whole winter I never got more than three cords of wood sawed. tap? 1 v. The nation's a biggest social event, the celebration of Presi dent Franklin D.
