"It is the feeling of our board,” said Mr. Whitney, “that industry must recognize an enlarging re sponsibility to the American peo ple on the part of American busi ness. The future of the country and all its citizens is closely bound up with the contributions of cor porate business to the job of mak ing democracy work. In our opin ion, there is a real need in busi ness for men with broad expe rience in current sociological and economic problems as well as ad ministrative ability.” ' This is not the first instance of a great corporation inviting to its council table an eminent student of social problems and human re lations, and it is not likely to be the last. Throughout the world of business, particularly in the industries commonly spoken of as “big business,” there is growing a neV sense of social responsibility. That is part of American indus try's growing respect for facts, ex perience and demonstrated judg ment. Today industrialists rely upon scientifically trained men to such degree that there is active compe tition among them for the services of the promising young graduates of the technical schools and uni versities. From that to bringing men trained in the field of social relations, both with workers and with the public, is a logical step which farseeing corporation execu tives realize they must take. X Soil Conservation Receives Emphasis In 1940 AAA Plan Soil conservation will have in creased emphasis in the 1940 AAA Farm Program, according to an nouncements following the Na tional AAA Conference in Wash ington, D. C., where recommenda tions were presented for the 1940 farm program. Next year’s farm program will also provide a better opportunity for operators of small farms to participate, and the responsibility of administration will continue irl the hands of farmer committees. An important recommendation affecting soil conservation, which should help small farmers take part in the program, was that there be established a minimum soil-building allowance of $20 per farm. Another important soil conservation recommendation is one that would allow farmers to earn up to $30 per farm for tree planting, in addition to the regu lar soil-building allowance for the farm. The national conference was held a month earlier this year than last. This will give farmers in 1940 a better opportunity than ever to know well in advance of the planting season what the program has to offer them. Recommendations adopted at the national conference will be used for drafting specific provi sions of the 1940 program. In gen eral, it will continue on the same lines as the 1939 program. Changes recommended are those which will simplify administration of the program, or make it more, •effective from the standpoint of j soil conservation. The conservation program pro vides for establishment of national allotments for soil-depleting crops and a national goal for soil-build ing crops and practices, which will be broken down to individual farms. Special allotments for cot ton, com, tobacco, and rice will be made later in the season when the 1939 crop is definitely known. Changes in rates of payment on these commodities will be made on the basis of the allotments. As in 1939, there will be two dif ferent payments which farmers may earn in 1940. These are the conservation payments, and the price adjustment payments. 1X2 “All Around The Farm” (By D. Austin Shelley, County • Agent.) “The first farmer was the first man and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land”.— Emerson. Would proper land use change your present farming op erations? “Corn needs man just as much as man needs corn.” Are you neg lecting your corn crop for cotton or some other crop? “Better take your own farm in ventory than let the sheriff”, eh? Did you ever try good fences as a means to keeping good neigh bors? Milk flows where clover grows. “More legumes for hay, pastures and increased soil fertility is the secret of financial success for many a modern farmer,” say the men who know. Limestone to make sour soil “sweet” is cheap insurance for a good stand of clovers or other legumes. Does your home show that you believe in comfortable living, as well as in good farming? Legume crops are the best soil- builders known, as well as protec tion against drouth. Have you given your hogs a job of shucking corn? It saves labor and adds fertility to the soil. Legume crops are not only wonderful soil builders but often turn livestock losses into profits. x May Make Appli cation For Loans Ansel E. McL. Talbert Writes Of Trip Over Ocean In Clipper Mrs. Carrie Talbert, of McCor mick, widow of the late Col. W. Jasper Talbert who for more than a decade was a colorful figure in Washington as congressman, re ceived an interesting letter recent ly, written by her nephew, Ansel E. McLaurine Talbert, staff cor respondent for the New York Her ald Tribune, who was one of the American representatives at the Aviation Conference in Rome, Italy. He was aboard the Atlantic Clipper when he wrote the letter, 800 feet above mid-ocean, travel ing 130 miles pier hour on his re turn to America. There were seven passengers aboard this luxurious airplane which compares to a Pullman car in its every comfort and convenience. “As a matter of fact,” says Mr. Talbert, “while cruising from 800 to 1,000 feet over mid-Atlantic a striking illustration of being a- board a surface luxury liner is created. The absence of any ob jects such as boats, whose size would be an aid to 4 the eye in measuring height, causes the ocean to seem much nearer than it is, and those looking out from the ‘bridal suite’ in the Clipper’s tail, deceive themselves into thinking that they are looking from the upper deck of a steamship.” ' Determined to see that air travel over the Atlantic was not wanting in social grace, the three women passengers, Mr. Talbert said, turn ed out for the evening meal at tractively attired in evening clothes and frowned at their com panions for not following suit. They were undaunted by wind and rain during their round trip of 26 3-4 hours in the air. Mr. Talbert described the sleep ing comfort of the Clipper as 100 per cent. “Since the motion of the craft causes drowsiness, and re membering the unhappy experi ences in the upper berth of a European passenger train several Farm Tenants, Sharecroppers, Laborers And Other Families Who Can Qualify May Make Apr.:!'cation For Loans To Buy Land. “Farm tenants, sharecroppers, laborers and other families who ive in this county and who can qualify under the provisions of the ‘Bankhead-Jones Farm Ten ant Act’, may make application for Federal loans to finance pur chase of family sized farms this year,” said E. Hanvey, county FSA Rehabilitation Supervisor. This county was designated to have the tenant purchase loan program in addition to the other services of assistance to low in come from families included in the FSA Rural Rehabilitation pro gram. Families in this county who wish Federal aid to purchase a good farm may visit the local Re habilitation offices in McCormick. Information and application blanks may also be secured from the county agent. The applica tion period will be open for all who are interested and tftey are advised to act without delay. Ap plications made in this county are submitted for examination of the local FSA Advisory Committee, composed of residents of this county. Approved loans will be certified by this committee within the limits of the funds available for the present fiscal year’s pro gram. Land must be bought at reason able prices and must be caoable of affording an abundant living for the family and margin of profit necessary to meet loan payments. FSA will list land for sale, said Mr. Hanvey. Options may be taken for land only after the proper investigations have been made. The FSA will recognize no obligation to buy until after ap praisal of land and official ap proval of the purchase proposi tion. Farm and home plans will be made out for each farm consider ing the available family labor and the production possibilities of the farm to be bought. No loan will be approved in this program where the farm and home plan does not reveal sufficient proba ble income to justify adequate farm buildings. All services of the Rural Rehabilitation program will be made available to farm families who acquire land in this program. evenings earlier, I deliberately chose an ‘upper’ aboard the Clip per for a nap after lunch. I slept four hours without waking.” As for the crew of this remark able ship, Mr. Talbert stated that their lives proceeded in much the same even manner as those of the passengers. “Despite the popular belief that a trans-Atlantic aviator constant ly battles the elements, Capt. Wal lace D. Culbertson and his assis tants are able to avoid any tense ness even while at the controls, because of the operation of the Clipper’s Sperry automatic pilot. This keeps the aircraft flying at an even keel on its course and needs only occasional corrections.” “This morning,” says Mr. Tal bert, “for the first time since Pan- American Airways has been oper ating across the Atlantic, bearings were taken by radio from the station of St. Pierre and Miguelon off Newfoundland, and these were cross checked with those of Swedish steamship Oslofjord, then more than 900 miles out at sea off the American coast. These showed the Clipper to be exactly on its course.” This being the first trans-At lantic air voyage for young Tal bert, who is the son of Ansel D. Talbert, former McCormick resi dent and native of this county, many friends were interested in reading this letter to his aunt. His parents now live in Washing ton, D. C., and he, with them, has visited McCormick relatives -and friends a number of times. DR. HENRY J.
