Seggeatien r'V'e The Nggeation of The People-Sen- tinel that the office of Home Demon stration Agent be abolished seems to have struck a responsive chord in the minds of a number of readers in var ious sections of the county, judging from the expressions ws have heard along this line since the last issue. It la understood from a reliable author- rRy that this office has been costing the taxpayers of the county about $1300 a yean. As was pointed opt last week, the county has 1 lost a large amount of money as tbs result bank failures In the past two years and a start towards saving must be ‘. made somewhere. The Pooplo-SeutM suggests that these who think is we do about this matter moke it a point to urge the members of the General Assembly nek to appropriate any money for this work next year and that they use every reasonable means in their power tm further curtail the expenditure of the tax-payers’ money.

To an axtent overlooked by many people, America’s prosperity depends npon her farmers. The migration of the country boys to the city in such groat numbers is s real and conatknt source of worry. Hera is s family that is evidently content with the farm. The Junior corn king is not likely to fall a victim soon to the lure of the bright lights. He has shown that he know* how to eoax tba soil into yielding him returns. His success is a good indication that be likes the life of s fanner. The eoortry needs more boys like him if it ia to continue to be prosperous. But the country needs also to pay more attention to the farmers’ proo- lems. When^he farmer gets a fair retarn for his products, there will be do need for “back-to-the-farm” move menta. Riley McNab. Ntr.th Grade*—Pauline Delk, Doro thy Miller.
