The Farm Problem.

Friday at the call of J
Jones, commissioner of agri
that the majority senti
JMBt favored a government subsidy
ea that portion of the crop
mmmmi domestically, with no re-
edriftinna whatever on production
-of cotton.
Ml view of the fact that Presi
Amt Roosevelt, in agreeing to t
caap ken and subsidy on the six-
i bale crop insisted that
enact some form of crop
at the next session as
for financial aid and
Wallace, in his ad-
r+mm aft Memphis Friday, empha

Thar Home Service projedt,
sponsored by the WPA, will re
sume its operations in Barnwell
County on Monday of next week,
after having been idle for the
month of September. Mrs. 0. H.
Best, under whom the projest is
carried out, stated that 19 women
would go back to work on the
project Monday morning.
The present work center is in
the cottage owned by Mrs. Lena
Davies and located on Washington
Street in Barnwel^. The object
of the work is to show the people
of the county how cheap it is to
keep their homes neat, clean and in
good repair. One of the rooms is
also used as an office for the
worker* *
In the work, the people are
shown how rooms can be papered
by use of heavy brown paper
such as used in lining box cars;
how a stain can be made from the
bark of trees and applied to the
woodwork, giving it a brightening
up which is most pleasing to the
eye; how easy it is to make a
house snug by the stopping of
cracks and small patches and how
much more invhing and livable a
house is when it is kept neat and
clean. These women are doing
these things in the house and at
the same time Holding institutes
to show the people how easy it is
done

WHAT -AILS- THE FARMER.
SUPREME ISSUES PENDING.
I have sold some cotton today—
two bales—for $85.84 for the two
I turned back in my ledger and
read (1886) two bales $140.08—
about the same weight and grade.
Quite a difference! The seed
brought $23.20 in 1936 and only
$7.86 today (SatUFdiyn —
Now, that’s what ails the farm
er. He could do very well with
those dollars of difference. Every*
thing the farmer used this year
cost him more—fertiliser, labor,
tools, implements—all, but he him
self is at the mercy of all the fac
tors of trade. Even today the
former is paying as much for
harvesting the cotton as he paid
when it was selling for 13 cents!
What is the matter with the
United States? Why are stocks
tumbling on the stock exchange?
Why are commodity prices (cotton,
etc-.) tumbling, too?
I know that moat commodity
prices are fixed in a world market,
but the world market isn’t causing
the drop in the New York stock
market. No, not this tiase. Now,
then; what is the trouble? Wliere

try is planning to speak for the
farmers of South Carolina with an
authentic voice. It is convinced
that the highly vocal farm organi
zations of the Middle West are the
dominant influence in national
form legislation. Southern farm

Smith as Chairman of the Agricul
tural Committee of the Senate
speaks often on the problems of
agriculture in the South, but he
and the other political figures have
no substantial backing by us at
home.

have a problem peculiar to us, what
is the problem ? Are we concerned

called the mother from the field
and laid the facta before her—that
she was depriving the childien of

selves in life without cost to them.
After our discussion she sfreed to
send the group to the nearest
school and on the following day
they were enrolled.
What seemed worse to me a-
bout this particular case," Mrs.
Paiker continued, "was the fact
that they were operating a two-
horse farm and making only four
bushels of corn to the acre and piac-
tically no cotton. These people
are in dire need.
“Other families investigated
have shown a similar need 1 of the
necessities of life and yet, after
a discussion of the matter, every
one of the parents has agreed to
send their children to school."
The students, the trustees, the
parents and the faculty members
have shown every indication of co
operating fully and making ‘the
plan successful in this county, Mrs.
Parker stated. She also predicted
that with a continuation of the in
terest shown, the enrollment in
Barnwell County will be the largest
this year in the history of educa
tion in this county.

everything
farmer is
problem of
agi icultural labor
Shall our
government recognise a standard
of farm living as well as a stand
ard of industrial living? If we
have minimum wages for indusry
snd short hours shall we have it
for farmers and their "hands"?
All these considerations for indus
trial labor are charged to the
farmer in higher prices for what
he buys. Who will guarantee him
a share in the high standard of
living? And how shall it be done?
Undeniably greater buying power
on the part of the farmer would
make for prosperity, as the farm
dollar is widely distributed and
invigorates all the processes of
business.
Supreme issues for agriculture-
in the United States are now
pending. The South should be
heard. South Carolina should have
a voice. But who speaks for the
farmers of South Carolina? Do
the farmers themsleves agree on
their problem and on a solution?
No; nobody knows what the South
Carolina farmer thinks or what
he wants. Twenty-five prominent
farmers may speak, but the poli
ticians have done most of the talk
ing in this State.
The Farm Council will recruit
its membership from practical,
cutstanding formers in each coun
ty of the State. At least 50 men
for each county, studying separ
ately snd together will constitute
a symposium on South Carolina
