Tuesday, the 30th, at the home of
Mr*. N. B. Workman on the airport
road. The president being absent,
Miaa Margaret Feweli omitted the devotional
until later and told iih something
of her trip to the Farm Women
h CongreHH held in WuHhlngtou
dui'ing the first of June. Her route up
there included Chapel Hill by Duke
University, Natural Bridge, through
Virginia The congress committee
were expecting around Mix hundred
delegates or a possible thousund.
Seven thousand farm women from ail
parts of the world registered, which
threw them Into a quadary us to accommodations,
programs, badges, and

The first ufternoon there they were
given a reception by Mrs. Roosevelt
on the White House lawn, wher^ ph?*
in a very gracious manner welcomed
them to the capital city. The guests
were also addressed briefly by tire
president., lie* expressed to them his
hearty approval of the line spirit
shown by tin* Farm Women of the
World in their work. I'sing other
timely remarks and ending with'lifts
sentence: "I would like very much to
stay longer with you all, hut us I'm
very busy I must leave." "You all,"
a Southern expression, was probably
coined by liirn during his visits to the
South.
The agricultural building In Washington
not being large enough to accommodate
the huge crowd the D.A.R.
.building was rented In which
three sessions were held daily.- South
Carolina, we are proud to say, had a
representation of three hundred delegates,
and was on the program twice

naming sotno of their good
and bad points and habits. Also proper
tood, calories, clothing, urging
that they be taught good habits at an
early age. ,
I lie delegates were carried on a
tour of the college farm, entertained
by a theatre party. By bus they were
carried to Charlotte to visit "Morecraft,
the beautiful estate of ex-governor

them. Mrs. Truesdale commented
very favorably on the excellent food
served to them the entire week, she
ended her report, urging each of us to
attend next year if possible and enjoy
the short course week as much as she
did. We most certainly enjoyed Mrs.
Truesdale s report and hope more will
attend next year.
The vice-president. Mrs. Fallon

patriotic sayings by famous writers?
Chaoto, Longfellow and others.

I>orothy, served delightful refreshments.
after which we adjourned to
meet with Mrs. Frank Watts in July.
All who ar? interested in our Fair
booth are urged to be there. Visitors

Depression Places
Thousands On Farm
u %
t Depression days meant moving
days for a great many American families,
Nearly 2,000,000 persons uprooted
themselves from the unfriendly
city and Joined in a great trek toward
tlxMjpen spaces.
The magnitude of thin backto-theland
movement following the 1029
crash is revealed by a new report of
the United States bureau of the census
which shows that some 1,995,253
persons living ou farms on the llrst
day of January, 1936, had lived in cities,
towns or villages five years earlier
in 1930.
Between the lines of prosaic figures
in the census report may be read the
dramatic story of many a young Country
John who had started off for the
city with high heart to win his fortune
only to return later, discouraged,
to add y'et another human burden to
an already heavily taxed agricultural
region.
That John did not return alone, but
took with him a wife and baby is revealed
by the fact that the farms for
which this movement was reported
had an average of three new-coiuers.
"These families have returned to
farms once abandoned, to new farms,
and to unoccupied houses on farms
operated by their relatives and
friends,states the report.
John did not make his move to a
good farm?to one where he might
make a living for his family. Food to
fill the hungry mouths of his family
or even a part of what was needed,
was all he usked. To quote the matter-of-fact
wording of the report'
again:
"These families have probably augmented
very little the total production
of farm products for sqle. "
"Most of this migration of families
has been to small farms. There, these
families have sought to produce at
least part of the food, - particularly
vegetables, eggs and milk needed for
their own use."
Those migrating millions sought
out their own homes in live main regions.
The one attracting the greatest
numbers was the Appalachian
subsistence farming area extending
along the hills and mountains from
Pennsylvania to Alabama. This is a
region with agricultural income at its
lowest even in good times.
