Hundreds Go Back To Rural Sections Mor? new farmers have begun operation In the lust live years than In preceding thirty years, according to a atudy Just completed by the Hesettlement Adinlnlstrutlou, new deal agency set up to extend a helping hand to competent farm families now unable to establish themselves permanently and profitably on the lund. The trend toward rural occupation lias sullied headway despite the fact that during the past ten years farming has been less profitable than ever before in the nation's history. Increasing farm population on the one hand, and decreasing farm opportunities on the other, explain, in part, the situation that brought Resettlement luto the picture. AltnoHt a million farm families, a fraction under fifteen per cent of the total number, have gross incomes of less than 1400 annually, and that figure Includes what they grow for consumption on the premises. Many of these families with sub-murginal incomes are victims of sub-marginal land, from which Resettlement hopes to remove them to more productive i acreage, converting their present farmed-out or eroded fields to trees, grasses, or other economically sound uses.^ The new farmers are not, as a rule, native to the city. They have grown up on the land, or returned to it after having had employment for time in the city. The natural increase In rural population in the United States is about one million a year. In predepression years there was a pronounced flow from rural to urban centers* but that flow now has been cut In half because there are not so many jobs to be had in the city, nor Is there any immediate prospect that the city can take care of its own natural increase, and also of the surplus farm population. In the opinion of Resettlement officials, the land must support an increasing number of persons, but it cannot do this unless land be intelligently used, and practical help be extended to hundreds of | thousands of farm families. The Rural Resettlement Division of the Resettlement Administration now is aiding 350,000 farm families. Of these 22,292 are in Alabama;. 7,192 in Florida; 12,105 in Georgia and 6,362 in South Carolina, the four states in tlfiT"Fifth Resettlement Region. The temporary policy is to make loans, which must be repaid, for the purchase of urgently needed supplies and equipment; the ultimate goal is to establish as many of these families as possible upon lands of their own. This, too, will be done through loans, to be repaid over a period of years. 80UTH CAROLINA NEWS Ben L. Rhodes, of Walterboro was appointed sheriff of Collet Ion county by Governor Oltn I).

Mrs. Itena Johnson won a verdict of $24,000 against the Alantic Coast Line railroad for the death of her husband, who was killed when his engine ran Into an open switch and overturned at Hennettsville in December, 1923. The switch had been opened , by a negro boy of low mentality, who afterward was arrested and confessed. EGG8 8CARCE Conway spent a week end without any eggs. This was something that is unusual. But It is only a natural result from the program of scarcity that was picked out of all the plans that could be laid to make the price high for poultryinen. And look what it has done to the public in general. Of course there wero a few eggs here and I yonder but you had to hunt for them and might b6 disappointed even if you tried to borrow any and the. price was thirty-five cents the dozntL and at this season of the year. You remember [ I what we wrote and told you. All the | chickens are being caught and slaughtered and eaten up on account of the price of beef. Eggs may go as high as fifty cents per dozen by Christmas, j ?Conway Herald.

There are those who believe that the present, or late, but certainly la-1 mented, depression had for its chief cause the installment buying, in tremendous quantities of automobiles, radios, cooking ranges, dining room suites, beds, rugs, farming machinery, and nearly everything else on the installment plan. This is recalled by the following in the column of Julian S. Miller, in The Charlotte Observer. Credit is desirable and & vital asset | in the world's business and that of the world's individuals. Hut credit, like everything else, can be abused and generally 1b. * Fathers quit advising their sons 25 years ago "never to go in debt." Since then, it's the fashion to plunge in neck-deep and in ail too many cases wholly over one'B head. Ten per cent of the total volume of trade in 1910 wub on credit?90 per cent paid for over the counter and carried home. In 1929, when the bubble burst, 50 per cent of the retail business of this ooujitry, amounting K9 billions of dollars, was charged on the books. America could obviously use a few Benjamin Franklins today. It looks as if the Inost urgent reason the people of this cotrutry want the depression to get over is In,order that they have the privilege of 'burying themselves again under an avalanche of personar debt. In that respect, we acquire good sense with pathetic slowness. Deerskins As Exchange Columbia, Oct. 12.?Sixteen heavy dressed deerskins for four yards of course, flowered calico?such was the price Indian women had to pay at the trader's rate of exchange, according to a thesis, "The Catawba Indians from Karliest Times to the American Revolution," submitted by J.

A gallon, of rum could be had for four skins, a pound of bends for three, and a gun for sixteen.
