plan for a lb-year campaign being
sponsored by the Southern Gover
nors’ Conference, says D. W. Wat
kins, director of the Clemson Ex

mittee.
“After four months of prepara-
ion the Southern Governors’ Con
ference has perfected organization
olans calling for Southwide, state,
and county committees to plan
and conduct this campaign for
‘Balanced Prosperity’ and steps
toward this organization are now
being taken in the several states”,
says Director Watkins. “Governor
Maybank will soon announce his
statewide committee.”
Five main objectives of the
Conference during 1940 towards
Balanced Prosperity” to make
the next 10 years “A Decade of
Progress” are:
1. A Southwide rural survey of
conditions.
2. Scorecard records for commu
nities, counties, and states as a
jasis for revealing and recogniz
ing progress.
3. Increasing farm income
through rural-urban cooperation
awards living at home, new
sources of farm income, better
financing for diversified farming,
markets for home-produced crops,
livestock, etc.
4. Balancing farming with in
dustries.
5. A Southwide meeting in the

plete plans for the remaining
