Industry’s Social
Responsibility
* In announcing the appointment
of Dr. Allen Valentine, president
of the University of Rochester, to
a seat on its board of directors,
John Hay Whitney, chairman of
the Freeport Sulphur Company,
expressed concisely the new and
growing feeling among the leaders
of business and industry that if
the capitalistic system is to sur
vive, its responsibility to the whole
social order must be recognized, as
well as its responsibility to stock
holders.
"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.

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.

“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.

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.
