Pope, FSA Supervisor for ' i Chowan, Gates and Perquimans coun C ' ttoi, brought home - soma interesting .v ; sidelights from tht Joint meeting of Extension and Farm Security on,- en w hich he attended last week u Raleigh. At this meeting, which lasted from. Tuesday through Friday, tome 800 eounty agents and other extension workers and 100 FSA eounty taper visors heard a number of farm leaders and took part in round-table discussions, the purpose of which was to helg them to do a better Job fot the communities they serve in 1988. Mr. rope said the discussions cen tered around the theme, "Rebuilding North Carolina's Rural Life" and special emphasis was laid on farm tenancy and soil conservation. He stated that he was favorably impress ed with the fact that the farm lead ers whom -he met and heard are so thoroughly sold on the idea of mak ing the way easier for tenants and small farmers to help themselves to improve their lot, and in that way to improve conditions generally -in the South. '' Governor Clyde R. Hoey, for in stance, said "we will not lift North "Carolina to the high level it ought to . . occupy until we touch the tenant sfarmer Or. Will W. Alexander, of Wash . ington, D. C, Administrator of the Farm Security Administration, traced historically the gradual advance of democracy in the South and showed -JuJiow little attention was given, until -recently, in both literature and gov-v-Msment to the rank and file. A na ve of the South, and a close student of Southern life, Dr. Alexander spoke of the over-emphasis which the ear lier writers and most of the early statesmen placed upon slave owners to the neglect of a large portion of the people of the region. The South, Mr. Pope quotes the Administrator as saying, has been pictured as a land of slavery ana colonial plantations, when as a mat ter of fact "only 30 per cent of the white families of the South owned -; rtaa we fcf every- plantation there were hundreds of small farms and humble cabins. From these the bulk of our native white population has descended. We have not yet learned enough of the non-slave owning Southerner of whom Walter Hines Page, in his "Letters" was one of the first to write, Dr. Alexander said. Then, too, below that middle class group men tioned by Page was another larg group, still more neglected, most of whom have never known the better things of life. According to the in augural message of a South Carolina governor as early as 1856, there were "more than 50,000 white South Carolinians in poverty." Mr. Pope gave only the high epots of the remarks of Dr. Alexander, who pointed out that for a period . -of nearly 200 years ell the governors in one Southern state came s from about 16 families and that as late as 1880 the record shows an amazing number of people in the South who could not read and write. The com ing into power of a new and more representative group of statesmen in the person of such leaders as Varde- man, of Mississippi, Tillman of South Carolina, the Taylors of Ten nessee and others, improved the situ ation as to education, but the prob lems we are working with today among our low income groups reaches back, without a doubt, to those early days when schools for all did not ex ist, and to that long . period when little or no opportunity was given the poorer people to, learn the skills so much needed today in building their own farm houses'and In making other needed improvements. , The French farmers, with little r no more mon ey than our Southern farmers, have better houses, "But they have skills that we have lost, skills that we must regain," Mr. Pope quotes Dr. Alex ander as saying. . , It is a matter of statistical fact that the big Industrial centers of the .country, due to low-birth rate, re l failing to replenish their populations . from within and the deficit in the ties is being .made up from the farming sections, particularly the ru- :. Ml south. It is, therefore, of inv tense concern to the .whole nation ' that more attention be given to the : iKauui m but runu people, was we ! reach, more and mora of them through ( s? practical education and that we help ; them recapture their skills. Dr. Alex- ander told the supervisors, adding that the reason North Carolina hat gotten aiong so ... muen Doner sum state has had a stronger and more - d Tninant element of the middle' class ' of which Pag wrote and which used ila influence earlier for better educa- y' A man tltet ' knows how to ' mix tfbasures wilh business, is never en tjely possessed by them.
