June 22.—Steady migra tion from farm to city — particu larly from poorer farming areas, i» making federal support for education necessary, according to Prof. New ton Edwards of the University of Chicago. i Edwards said the need was most ' actute in that 25 per cent of the population which had moved from I home states. This group constitutes more than 25,000,000 persons, 3,000, 000 of whom are negroes, he said. | There has been a heavy movement ’ from the underprivileged areas of I Ute South to the metropolises of the North, he said. Many of these, he said, are chil dren and youths under age. and their education in the towns and cities to ; which they have moved is a vital problem. "It is of no slight significance." Edwards said, "that the youth of th» nation who are being provided the most meager educational opportuni ties are the ones who, in which they were born. "Sound social policy,’ he said “re quires an extension of educational I opportunity for a large part of the , rural youth of the nation, I "What is needed is an orientation of rural education to meet the educa tional needs of both those who live in the towns and cities and of those who will require financial support from the federal government."

The Landlord Tenant Problem During the next few months Con gress is almost certain to adopt some far-reaching policy for improving landlord-tenant relations and for helping capable tenants buy farms. In this situation the following edi torial from The Progressive Farmer should be of interest not only to far mers but to all business men who deal with farmers or who have agri cultural interests: — "Here farm organizations have a tremendous opportunity for helping Congress make its legislation both progressive and practicable. Every body of course is hound to admit that living standards of Southern tenant farmers are shockingly low A tremendous proportion of that one third of the nation that is "ill nour ished, ill clad, and ill housed' i9 right here on Southern tenant farms Yet the blame for this condition can not justly be charged either to the shiftlessness of tenants' to which ex tremists on one ide ascribe it or to the greed and oppression of land lords on which another group of ex tremists lays all the blame. The truth is that cotton has not heen profitable enough to give proper re turns either to landlords or tenants. Cotton growers have had to buy v erything nnneded to make cotton on the basis of a high-priced protective tariff home market and sell the cot ton on a low-priced free trade world market. Ground between these uppet and nether millstones, ’tndlords have not prospered. On the eontiary I runny of them have lost feit farms. "Nevertheless while recognizing all these basic facts, we must also recognize two other important basic facts as follows: (1) landlord-ten ant contracts should be modernized to encourage longer rental period#, live-at-home programs, soil im provement. strict account keeping, ; fair credit charges, etc. (2) More | definite help should be given amtl i tious and worthy tenants who wish 1 to achieve the security and dignity ! of home ownership". Ten Rules For A Long Life I If you would live to a ripe old ago. j here are ten rules given by Hygeia on how to live 100 years, which the current Progressive Farmer quotes as part of its campaign for better health: 1. Breathe fresh air, both day and night. 2. Exercise your larger muscles reetilprlv every day. 3. Look on overfatigue as your enemy, and on rest as your friend. Take at least eight hours of sleep. (The voice of wisdom says one one should turn off the radio at 10). 4. Drink plenty of water at meals and also between meals. 5. Eat temperately, partaking of vegetables and fruit for “roughage” and healths sake, and sparingly of meat and sugar. Avoid overweight. 6. Have regular bowel habits. 7. Avoid infection from both out side and inside sources. Make a thor ough recovery' from colds and sor# throat. 8. Wash your hands before eating. (That the. teeth are to be cleaned night and morning is taken for granted.) 9. Think wholesome thoughts. Face unpieesant situations frankly and sensibly, and dont worry. Keep your play spirit. I 10. Have a health examination by i your physician each ypar; ask his | advice and follow it. —The Progressive Farmer. BRIEF NEWS ITEMS Strawberry growers of Duplin County who graded and packed their berries poperly this season have re ceived from 25 to 50 per cent more in price than for those not so pre pared. Eight dairymen of Yadkin county recently ordered nine bushels of Eureka ensilage corn seed and seven other dairymen later ordered ten bushels for demonstration purposes. T. R. Roberson of Prices Creek community in Yancey County told county agent George W. Smith that his wheat this year is the best that he has ever grown due to the use ->f ground limestone. Gus Edwards of Cane River. Yan cey County, paid $900 for a seven year-old Spanish Jack weighing 900 pounds. The animal was purchased in Kentucky. Joe Brown, 4-H eluk member in Watauga County, reports that his baby beef calf gained 108 pounds in 30 days. The animal is being grown for the beef cattle club show at Asheville this fall. Bennett Gilbert, a 4-H club mem ber of Catawba, reports an average of 26 eggs a. day from a flock of 32 Rhode Island Red hens. He has sold 17 dozen eggs to the local hatchery at a price averaging 15 cents above the local market price. Crotalaria Is Good Soil Building Crop Crotalaria, a legume which has been used for several years by farm ers in Florida and in the Carolina sandhills to build up poor, thin soil, has been introduced on several farms in the Huntersville erosion control area, according to agrono mist H. O. Beck of the Soil Conser vation Service. Agronomists of the Service recoin mend that crotalaria be seeded on sandy soils which are low in fertility and deficient in organic matter and which are unsuited to the production of lespedeza. It is not advisable to seed crotal aria near the barn, pasture or poul try range. Beck warned, as the seed of certain strains (such as Crotal aria spectabilis) are poisonous. This should not worry farmers, however, since livestock will not eat the fol iage. In the Piedmont region crotalaria (should be seeded broadcast at the rate of 25 or 30 pounds to the acre though good results have been ob tained from 15 to 20 pounds per acre On the farm of J. L. Choate, tw?J miles south of Huntersville just off the Charlotte highway, a seve^ly e roded, sgndy 4-acre field which was seeded in crotalaria last year sup ports a dense stand of p'ants avera ging 6 feet in height. In the event the crotalaria does not re-seed itself in that section, Choate will plow it under and seed the area to another crop. The crop which follows will be benefitted greatly from the increased nitrogen supply added to the soil by the leg ume and by the increased organic matter which improves the physical texture of the soil. TAXOGRAM One way to figure your share ot the cost of government is to take the total tax bill for the federal, state and local governments and di vide it by the number of people ‘n the country to get the per capita share. In 1933, taxes actually paid per person amounted to $59.C4 and in 1934 $69.24. It has been estimated that in 1930 total taxes per person will reach $92.25. Multiply this by the number of persons in your fami ly to figure what your family’s share in the cost of government is.
