= OUR SOIL ★ OUR STRENGTH =
By FRANK LOWERY
Something more than material
benefit is impelling American
landowners and operators to be¬
come conservation farmers or
ranchers. Something more than
the established fact that soil and
water conservation increases farm
buying power is motivating busi¬
nessmen and countless others to
support conservation work.
A farmer or rancher finds pleas
ure in the beauty of his conserv¬
ation-treated fields,
woodlands, and wildlife areas.
I feel that all the rest of us
share his pleasure a e
by or fly over his acres; or, when
we’re extra forti
chance to feel heal 1 or
or. us sod beneath c 2Y eat, or
the owner in harve sting a
crop more abundant now than
lew years ago.
But there is another
motivating force for
I believe it is the
realization in every community 1
know about that wise use
treatment of soil is a moral
ponsibility — that soil is a
of the Creator, and that we, all
us, have a steward’s
ty for it.
Unless we pause to consider
spiritual man, we may be
by this spread of the soil
ship concept in a time when
are troubled by temporary
surpluses and when only one
son in 25 actually tills the
for a living.

Unless we accept as a fact that
men do recognize the spiritual
values of soil and water conserv¬
ation, we are unable to explain
fully the personal sacrifices thou¬
sands uf them make to serve as
members of the governing boards
of nearly 2,700 locally-organized
and managed Soil Conservation
Districts. These men—and there
are some women on these govern¬
ing hoards—already are conserv¬
ation farmers or ranchers. They
already are, personally reaping
the material benefits of greater
net income, lower production
costs, and greater efficiency in the
use of labor and machinery that
comes with conservation.
But these local leaders cannot,
and do not, expect material gain
from their services as District
supervisors, ’ commissioners, or

continue to fight the movement to

along that line, the Geovrnor said:

Talmadge Favors
Women Re Paid
Equal Wages
Former Governor Herman
Talmadge said in Savannah
week that he favors amending
Federal Wage and Hours Act
require that women be paid on
same scale as men for doing
same job.
The Atlanta attorney and
joy farmer, addressing the
meeting of the National
taries Association, said that
en have proved themselves to
“an indispensable part of the
tion’s labor force” and that
right to compete on an equal
with men should be protected
law. He also stated that he
with favor upon the
amendment to the United
Constitution guaranteeing
rights to women in all fields
endeavor.
“The day when the
woman was the exception
since has passed and it is
that the United States faced
to that economic fact of life,”
traffic handed down in the
Carolina case is in keeping
the court’s policy heretofore
nounced in such cases.
“It is another example of
avert usurpation of the
of the people. The court’s
ion applies to intrastate
tation by common carriers.
*> We shall oppose this latest
cision just as we are
the decision in the school
gation case by all possible
means. it
madge said, U Where only a few
decades ago job opportunities for
women were limited principally to
teaching and clerical work, women
now are employed in virtually all
professions and occupations. They
have proved themselves to be an
indispensable part of the nation’s
labor force and without them our
business and industry would be
hard pressed to stay in operation.
“It cannot be argued with logic
or foundation in fact that women
should not be paid on the same
basis as men for doing the same
job. The criterion is not the sex
of the worker, but rather his or
her capability to do the assigned
task. There are, of course, some
jobs for which men are better
suited and the same is true of
women, but in those instances
where all things are equal, it is
only right and fair that a women
should receive the same compensa¬
tion as a man doing the same
job. ff
