SCHOOL DAY AT THIS FA lit
Kershaw County's biggeat "crop,"
marched down Broad Street into the
Fair grounds on Wednesday morning,
when the school children of the county
led by t-hair teachers, massed on
upper broad, formed in lines and
marched to the lower end of the
street and the Fair grounds. Several
ladies and gentlemen riding horsehack
and a number of beautiful lloats
from the different schools, of the
county lent color to the parade. The
B. & B. Shows, presenting the midway
attractions here this week, provided
a hand which furnished music
for the parade. A number of local
organizations took part in the spectacle.
The streets and windows along
the route were crowded with interest"ed
spectators.
After the school children were dismissed
at the Fair grounds they
spent a most enjoyable day there.
, The" daytime fireworks, the carnival,
the exhibits and other attractions
were witnessed by the eager eyes of
the hundreds of children, large and
small. It was a memorable day for
the boys and girls of the county and
they all went to their homes, tired
but happy, Wednesday night.
8 EL F18HN ESS
We went to church last Sunday and
listened to an able preacher as he
delivered a magnificent discourse on
Human Selfishness. Few pulpiticlans
that we have been privileged to hear
have to our mind treated a subject
so capably."
The sin of selfishness besets, we
believe, more people, rich and poor,
high and low, old and young, than
any other vice, and it is a wholesome
sight when a man of the Cloth is
willing to deal with it in the pulpit
fearlessly and comprehensively. The
trouble, though is (and that is another
human failing) that we all
think that the preacher is talking to
the other fellow and we don't let his
sermon come home to us. Practically
all of us are supremely selfish, caring
nothing, or very little, for the
well-being of our fellows. H\ by the
same token, we were not so .selfcentered
it would be so much easier
I'hr Us to apply to ourselves and take
profit from the words of wisdom and
warning that fall from the lips of
our teachers. ^
We believe that this same human
selfishness- operates as the chief obstacle
in the way of the Recovery
Program inaugurated by our President.
If we people as a whole could
for a moment forget Self and catch
the vision that he has caught and
realize that he is laboring for the
greater good to the most people, we
might then l>o better able to lend
him and his program our aid and encouragement.
WHAT ABOUT THE BANKHEAD
LAW?
So much feeling has been stirred
up over the Bankhead bill that it is
a highly ticklish subject to tackle.
One thing must be admitted. There
are flaws that should be remedied.
Another confession is easy. It is
impossible, in the present condition
of human nature, to dis|>ense equal
justice so long as consciences are
clastic, and the temptation to get
the advantage, so common. With
these confessions to start with, lot
us rt-minisie a little. The old lien
merchants busted, and went out <>f
business. Next the banks tried cut'.oil
advances, and most of them
elosod doors. fhe great majority of
farmer-, head over heels in debt.)
were thus left high and dry. I*. S.
Senator "Cotton Kd" Smith then
eame to t he rescue by putting "l.'nclc
Sam" into the lion business. That
being the case the old "Uncle" soon
.-aw his plight with a 10-million bale
.-urplus on hand, and cotton selling
at o and > cents a pound. That
brought about the plowing up crusade.
There were elastic consciences
then, as there are now, but it raised
the price of cotton. To avoid any
more destruction of cotton the Bankhead
bill naturally followed. J>or.'t
forget, ;n the meantime, that this pro.
e-s cos* many millions of dollars
that must be paid somehow. This (
was done for the farmers. More
tr.an 9 out of 10 farmers agreed to
tie requirements of the bill and
-1 g ' d The price of cotton went
from and >. to more than If) cents 1
h your. i. We forget another thing
Mi'*: : - weiv ;>a;d in cash for rent-!
ed land. We heard a farmer -ay |
tha* he had already received SO0
dollars ,n ca-h and expecting SOrt
more. That represents 1 five hun- ]
dred weight bales at "> cents a pound.
Vet he was howling and lambasting
he Bankhead bill. We o.-in't have all
candy in this world. We must take \ {
a little bitter along with the sweet. I
If not. then Uncle Sam should pull |(
up stakes and get out. bag and hag- .
gage. We have grave doubts about
theowisdom of his ever getting in.
He is no farmer, but he h?s certainly f
boosted (Tie price of cotton. Let us ]
be fair.?Calhoun Times. v
Idle Lands! Idle Hand*!
We use a locality to point a moral.
Here in Louisiana, nearly one-fifth
the total population will be, this
winter, dependent upon "government
dole" for its bread and meat. Most
of it will be eaten in idleness, or by
pretense work, which leaves nothing
tangible of value behind it. j
Here in Louisiana, thirty per cent
of the average cotton acreage was |
blanked from cotton. Twenty per cent
of the rioe acreage wus blanket! from
lice. Not over half the potential
'sugar acieage was in cultivation.
I Throughout the old "pine belt" are
hundreds of thousands of ucrea of
fairly good "bottom lands" on which
corn, beans, peas, cabbages, potatoes,
all of a sort, and in quantity of a
sort, might be produced for producers'
consumption, hogs and chickens raised,
cows pastured.
To say that the workers among
the ;i?U,0U0 to 400,000 needy and nonself-supporting
population of Louisiana
could not, under available tutelage
be taught in one season to get
their bread ivJ.w' "M-'at ant* greens, out
of the soil of Louisiana?is to say
that whioh past American "and Louisiana
history proves to bo stupid and
I foolish.
A million perfcons more than those
who do, could produce their own shelter
and sustenance, out of Louisiana's
soil without limiting by one ton of
sugar, one pocket of i ice or one pound
of cotton the greatest yields of those
crops the state has ever witnessed!
And demonstrably, here in Louisiana
there is enough money wasted in
the extravagantly organized and op-,
orated state, parochial and municipal
governments to finance the establishment
of a system of self-support of
the idle lands upon the idle acres.
Multiply the near half million
Louisianians by forty?and you have
the present total of the nation s
needy. Multiply t'he idle lands of
Louisiana by forty, and you have
about the number of idle acres available
across the fertile distances of
America. Multiply Louisiana's money
waste by fifty, and you have the sum
of the needed moneys.
There's no sin in sweat.
I There's no more humiliation in digging
in the soil to get beans, than in
standing in a line to draw a meal
ticket.
And there's a far better chance that
the sweat and the digging by the now
work less multitude will bring the day
when again there will he jobs a-plenty
and profit for the farmers whose business
it is to farm. ?Francis liickjnan.

Tree Belt Meets Obstacles
After fending off numerous attacks,
President Roosevelt's tree belt plan
received a telling blow from Comptroller
General McCarl who sliced
$14,000,000 off the $15,000,000 allotment.
But this is really one of the
least of the many obstacles confronted
by the scheme. A 100-mile-wide
belt of trees running from the Canadian
border to the interior of Texas,
through" the semi-arid regions of the
Middle West, is quite an order and
will require vast amounts of money.
But the difficulty encountered in raising
this money will be nothing when
compared to the difficulty which is
to bo encountered in trying to make
trees grow where nature herself failed.
Critics of the venture ask how *
trees are expected to grow in the
region now with the water tables
lowered almost to desert level and
the soil stripped of its absorbent mat
of grass, when they would not grow
under much more favorable conditions.
In spite of all the criticism and the
claims that it is a wild and impossible
scheme, however, forestry experts
>ay that it i> not impossible. The pic:iin
fcthey paint makes it apparent
that the planting of the millions of
tree. i> onl\ a small part of tho job.
The first step in a successful plan
would he to conserve moisture by
p-eventing the rapid run-off of the
scanty rains falling in that region.
In order to accomplish this the er.g neers
would have to emulate nature
to the fullest extent. Natural streams
whose crooked and debris-clogged
courses retard the flow of the water
and cause more of it to find its way
into the ground would be imitated in
all streams and draws within the holt.
All hillsides would have to be terraced.
drained sloughs allowed to recert
to their natural state, lakes and
ponds fringed with trees, and irriga- <
lion practiced wherever possible.
Such preparations would bring the
water tables within the reach of the
tree ro<J^ and greatly decrease the
mortal itjWamong the young trees, j
Taking previous attempts at the formation
of the region as examples ]
proves that nothing short of an intel- i
gently thorough ?*nd complete job i
ar. even hope for success. There is
almost general admission that once i
the trees were planted and growing 1
they would hi- of incalculable value in t
preventing drought by controlling and \
distributing the rainfall. No one contends
that the Ik* 11 would increase ,
he annual precipitation, but rather ,
that it would cause it to he put to
setter use.?-Pathfinder.
The death toll as the result of a '
