\ PARTIAL REMEDY SUGGESTED
FOR FAHMER8' ECONOMIC BILLS
(Hy.Ouy A Cardwell, General Agricultural
Agent, Atlantic Cojiat Uluu
Railroad Co.)
"I wUh I possessed some prophetic
vision that | might suggest an easy
way by which the agricultural Industry
could be relieved of ita distress
and started on a course of well-being
and profit. God hus not given ine that
power, but 1 think there is at least
a partial remedy which the farmer
himself can supply. That remedy will
start him on the only course which,
experience and observation convinces
me, any of us can hopefully anticipate,
the making of a comfortable livelihood.
When we find that on approximately
20 per cent of the farms iu
the United States there is not a milch
cow nor a chicken, and that on more
than 30 per cent there is not a hog,
and on approximately 00 per cent not
a sheep; when wo know further, that
on many farms in our large agricultural
states, no gardens are kept und
almost every article of feed Is purchased
at the store, we are forced to
the conclusion that the farmer, big
and large, is not farming as he should.
I know that there uro certain sections
where some ,or all, of these means of
increasing farm income cannot be applied.
but so far as possible, every furmer
should produce his own milk and
Jalry products, his own meat, and his
own poultry, raise his own garden
truck, and can the fruit und vegetables
he requires for winter use. Until
ho obtains from his farm every
Item for personal consumption which
It is humanly possible for him to produce,
he has not done his Job properly.
1'lgs and chickens and cows are
worth more to the Individual farmer
than all the government relief prograins
that may possibly bo conceived.
Once the farmer lives at home,
then I believe that whatever kind of
money crop he may produce, whether
It be large or small, the price high
or low, his major difficulties will bo
solved 'and his margin of income for
the necessities and luxuries ho so
much deserves will be greatly Increased."
This suggested standard, which ev
ery farmer should sU'lvo to bring
about, If possible, was sot forth in
an address delivered In 1932 by Melvin
A. Traylor, at that time president of
the First National Hank of Chicago
and the First Union Trust and Savings
Hank. Since that timo Mr. Traylor
has passed on to his reward, but
his words of wisdom should be kept
nlfVe In the agricultural south, along
with the better known advice of Henry
W. Grady, the famous Georgia
Journalist of a half century ago whose
often quoted advice to farmers In the
south still goes ringing down the passages
of time:
"When every farmer in the south
shall eat bread from his own fields
and meat from his own pastures and,
disturbed by no creditors and enslaved
by no debt, shall sit down among
his teeming gardens and orchards and
vineyards, and his dairies anil barnyardB,
pitching his crops In his own
wisdom and growing them in independence,
making cotton his clean
surplus, and selling It In his own time
in his chosen market and not at a
master's bidding; getting his pay In
cash and not in a receipted mortgage
that discharges the debt but does not
restore his Iruudonm?Liieil shall bo
breaking the fullness of our day."
Association Met At Baron DeKalb
The Parent-Teacher's association of
Haron DeKalb school met Thursday
ovenlng, October 27, at the school
building. The meeting was called to
order. "Come Thou Almighty King,"
was sung. Devotional was conducted
by Mrs. Curtis Ogburn. Piano solo by
Miss Nina Young. Miss Harrlette I-oo
Trucsdale, teacher of music gave three
selections. The guest speaker of the
evening was Dr. A W Humphries,
county health doctor. His discussion
was on "Tuberculosis." Many interesting
facts and figures were brought
out by this very able speaker It is
always a real pleasure to have Dr
Humphries with us. either as a speaker
or community visitor. Reports of
three chairmen of committees were
given. Mrs D A. Harfield, social; Miss
Minnie Hreedlove, welfare; Cyril H.
Huh hoe, membership. During a brief!
business session, Mr Husbee proposed!
as a meeting date of the organization,
each third Thursday evening of the
month. Proposal accepted. The meeting
adjourned to the home economics
room for a delightful social hour and

Single Tax Theory Long
Urged by Henry George
The single tux is a theory of taxa- |
tion propounded by the late Henry !
George, whereby all taxes are levied
on land values, and other forms of
direct and Indirect taxation are
ubolished. A summary of the theory
by George follows:
"We assert as our fundamental
principle the self-evident truth enunciated
in the Declaration of Independence
that all men are created
equal and are endowed by their
creator with certain inalienable
rights. We hold that all men are
equally entitled to the use and enjoyment
of what God has created
and of what is gained by the gen-1
eral growth and improvement of the
community of which they are a part.
"Therefore, no one should be permitted
to hold natural opportunities
without a fair return to all for any
special privilege thus accorded to
him, and that that value which the |
growth and improvement of the
community attaches to land should
be taken for the use of the community;
that each is entitled to all that
his labor produces; therefore no tax |
should be levied on the products of j
labor.
"To carry out these principles we
are in favor of raising all public
revenues for national, state, county
and municipal purposes by a single
tax upon land values, irrespective
of improvements, and of the abolition
of all other forms of direct
and indirect taxation."
Meaning of "Ranking" in
Referring to Officials
In the United States congress
"ranking" is applied to the minority
member of a committee who would,
by the operation of the seniority
rule, become chairman if his party
had the majority. As a rule the
chairmanship of a committee is given
to the majority member who has
had the longest continuous service
on the committee.
The term "ranking" was borrowed
from American military usage.
"To rank," as used in army
and navy circles, means to outrank
or to take precedence of in respect
to rank. The President of the United
States, for instance, as comm
er-in-chief, ranks every officer in
all branches of the service. The
ranking officer of an outfit is the
senior officer, who outranks all others
because he is a higher grade or
holds a commission of earlier date.
Following this analogy, says a
writer in the Indianapolis News, the
chairman of a committee should be
the ranking member, since he outranks
all others; but as generally
used the term is applied only to the
senior member of the minority party
represented on the committee.
Occasionally the term is loosely applied
to the member of each party
who has served longest on the committee
next to the chairman, making
a chairman and two ranking
members on every committee on
which two parties are represented.
Th? Cross-Word Puzzle
Puzzles similar to the cross-word
puzzles were known to the ancients.
What is believed by some authorities
to be the oldest cross-word puzzle
was made by a Cretan about
2,000 years ago, a copy of which lies
in the archeological museum at
Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore,
Md. The puzzle is called the
Phaestus disk, and was found on
the island of Crete by an expedition
many years ago. The first genuine
cross-word puzzle of the modern
type was composed by Arthur Winn
and appeared In a supplement of the
Sunday New York World on December
2J, 1913.
Whitman's Tribute to Bible
Walt Whitman's tribute to the Bible
is as follows: How many ages
and generations have brooded and
wept and agonized over this bOok!
What untellable joys and ecstacies,
what support to martyrs at the
st&ke, from it! To what myriads
has it been the shore and rock of
safety?the refuge from driving
tempest and wreck! Translated in
all languages, how it has united this
diverse world! Of its thousands
there is not a verse,, not a word,
but is thick-studded with human
emotion.
Dickens' Visits to United States
Dickens came to the United States
in 1842. The result of this journey
is to be found in "American Notes,"
published in 1842. His second tour of
the United States began late in November,
1867, and lasted until the
middle of April, 1868. During that
time he took in as a result of his
readings a sum approximating
$100,000. During his second tour
he tried to correct his impressions
of America and publicly acknowledged
his change of feelings at a
farewell dinner (which cost $40 a
plate).
No Float, No Husband
The girls of a village in the Vosges
mountains determine their matrimonial
future by throwing pins into
St. Sabine's fountain, according to
an authority who reports that if the
pin defies gravity by floating, its
tosser believes that she will marry
soon. If, on the other hand, it sii^ks,
the young lady in question knows she
will not be married for at least a
year. Various strategies are used
to keep the pins afloat, but only
about a tenth of them remain on the
surface of the fountain,

Steel House For
Farm Projects
SU'ol went out on the farm today as
tho Tennessee Co?l, Iron and Itallruad
Company started shipping tho
that or 12 units of prefabricated metal
farm buildings to sites selected by the
Farm Security Administration In Alabama,
Georgia aud South Carolina.
Bach unit Includes five buildings
lu dwelling, barn, chicken bouse, outl
<ioor pantry, and sanitary privy. After
mouthk of research, designing and
experimental work by engineers of the
Teunessee Company and the Furrn
Security Administration, a satisfactory
type of steel farm building construction
was perfected. The FSA immediately
asked for bids and T. O. I. was
awarded a contract to supply 12 of
the units.
The dwelling contains Ave rooms?
living room, three bedrooms, and
combination kitchen and dining room.
Two large closets and a pantry are
Included and space Is available for a
bathroom If desired. Approximately
hIx tons of steel are uBed in the dwelling.
All of the foundation structure,
the frame, the sides, roof, extorion
door, and window trims and fireplace j
are of steel. Floors and doors are of i
wood. An Insulating wall board la us-1
ed as Interior finish for the walls and1
ceilings. This also serves as Insulation,
and is utilized in a maimer designed j
to lend to the uttractlveness of the
interior.
Approximately 12 and one-half tons
of steel are roquired for the unit of
five buildings. Tho outbuildings are
constructed entirely of steel".
Complete prefabrlcatlou enables
swift erection of the buildings by the
simple expedient of bolting together
the pre formed panels. It Is antlclpat-,
ed that such work may be performed
by tho farmer, or purchaser, with a
few helpers. Even tho foundations of
tho buildings are prefabricated. Tho
piers are formed from two hot-rolled
steel channel sections, shop-welded to
a steel footing plate, and coated with
asphalt by a hot dipping process.
Inside partitions of the dwellings
are insulating wall board surfaces
supported on steel frames. Steel joists
support the wood floor.
A steel fireplace with Jacket enclosure
apd circulating air featui es
provides a central heating ajstem.
This unit Is economical in operation
and furnishes a constant flow of warm
air throughout the house.
The barn contains a corn crib, two
compartments for animals, a compartment
for Implement storage and a
hay loft. It is twenty feet wide and
thirty-two feet deep.
The poultry house, ten feet by
twelve feet, Is designed for fifty fowls.
A steel mesh panel in front provides
ventilation. Chickens enter through a
door which drops from the front of the
structure to form a ramp. This can be
I closed and locked when the fowls are
Inside. A larger door at the side provides
entry for cleaning and other
purposes.
The outdoor pantry is eight feet by
twelve feet. Three and one-half feet
of roof overhangs one side, forming a
shelter that can be utilized as space
for washtubs, work-bench or any purpose
desired.
An optional plan will provide for a
smaller barn, which will include the
chicken house, two stalls for livestock,
a granary, storage space for
wagon or truck and a hay loft.
Both dwellings and outbuildings
will be available in several attractive
designs and dimensions. This type of
construction readily lends Itself to expansion.
If the home owner wishes to
! add a room, this is easily dono by
' making the dimensions In multiples
j of four, Bueh as eight by twelve feet,
1 twelve by sixteen feet, etc.
The metal construction renders
'the buildings lightning-proof, noncom|
bustlble. and vermin-proof. The build-j
1 ings are weather tight through tho
use of overlapping crimps, or grooves, ;
in the metal sheets.
The dwelling walls have a lower:
I conductivity value than ^a thlrteen;
inch brick wall, meaning in simple (
language, that It requires longer for.
heat or cold to penetrate to the inferior
of the steel dwelling, as constructed
by the T C. I., than to an in-1
: closure within brick walls thirteen
inches thick. This is achieved by tho
Insulating wall board and by a novel
method of ventilating the attic and
the area between the outer and inner
walls.
It is the intention that buildings of
this type be placed within economic
reach of the farmer, or other purchas-;
er, who needs housing. Inasmuch aB
long-term financing may be required I
in some cases, ranging up to forty j
years, steel appears to have an.^ad;J
vantage over other materials, duo to
its durability and low maintenance
cost.
Theso buildings, as developed by
Farm Security Administration and
T. C. I. engineers, brings the cost of
prefabricated metal construction down
to a competing level with bulldingB
of other materials for the first time.
Use of steel in housing construction'
eliminates waste. Metal lends itself
to preciso machine forming with low;
applied labor costs. It is nonporous
and. therefore moisture-proof. Steel
is adaptable to manufacturing in large
sections, thus reducing the number of
pieces or parts that must be assembl-|
ed in the field.
I
The two units shipped today went
to a site belonging to the Alabama!
Tenant Security Project in Walker
County, near Jasper, home of Senator
John H. Bankhead and House
Speaker William B. Bankhead, both
proponents of legislation designed to
aid the farmer.
. The remaining ten units will be con-;
signed as follows:
Two to the Georgia Tenant Security
Project, one to be erected near Jackson,
in Bntts County, the other in
Jackson County, near the town of
Winder. j
Two to the Flying River Farms
Project in Georgia, both to be erected
near Montezuma, in Macon County.
Two to the Ashwood Plantation
Project in South Carolina, both to be
erected ne^r Bishopville, in Lee
County.
Two.to the Orangeburg Farms Pro-(
ject in South Carolina ,both to be erected
near Orangeburg, in Orangeburg
County. j
Two to the Prairie Farms Project
in Alabama, both to be erected near,
Tysonville, in Macon County.
Both Jasper units are expected to
be ready for occupanco within five
weeks, while the last of the remaining
units will be completed within eleven
weeks.

NEW PLAN8 AVAILABLE
FOR F/\RM BUI LADINGS
Clemson, Nov. 7.?South Carolina
farmers realize the importance of using
suitable plans in constructing farm
"buildings, thinks C. V. Phagan, extension
agricultural engineer, pointing
, out that this fact was clearly demonstrated
during the State Fair when
hundreds of farmers visited the better
farm buildings exhibit put on by
| the Clemson College Extension Ser!
vice. In this exhibit different kinds
| of farm buildings were illustrated with
models and plans.
Sixty-flve farmers requested plans
i of the more popular kinds of buildings
shown, the specialist states. However,
the number requesting plans was
, by no means the measure for Judging
the interest or the value of such an
exhibit. Numbers of farmers, in studyj
ing the models, stated that they were
not so much interested in plans as in
getting certain ideas in building arrangements
and construction.
The poultry laying house, the cattle
barn, the machinery shed, and two
| general purpose barns proved to be
the most popular models in the exhibit.
Considerable interest was also
shown in the gambrel roof 'barn, a
j type of roof that has two slopes on
; each side. The gambrel roof 1b easily
made self-supporting, which gives it an
unobstructed loft space. It also
I has a greater hayloft capacity than
the common gable roof.
; Plans of various types of farm ho us
es and farm buildings are available
to farmers of the state for use in constructing
buildings on their farms.
These plans may be obtained through
county farm.and home.demonstration
agents. ?
