FARM LEADERS^SWITCH VIEWS
Would Store Surpluses as Insurance
Against Another Shortage.
A bumper crop of corn and wheat,
with surpluses stored away as insur
ance against another shortage like |
the present, is being planned for next
year by the Agricultural Adjustment j
Administration. j
Instead of attempting to restrict [
plantings as they have in the past, j
AAA officials, now informally dis- j
cussing next year’s program, are in
clined to let farmers plant wheat and j
corn to their hearts’ desire and ask;
congress to authorize some, sort of j
crop insurance scheme that will en- j
able the government to hold farmers’ j
surplus grains until lean years.
The crop insurance plan was first j
proposed by Henry A. Wallace, sec
retary of agriculture, in Kansas City !
last month. He renewed discussion j
of it recently in Chicago.
Under the plan, farmers would pay
in a certain portion of their crops
each year as premiums. In poor years, i
supplies would be paid out from these
reserves to supplement lean crops.
Normally bumper crops of all food
stuffs follow a drought year, since
it is natural for farmers to enlarge
their plantings after a poor crop.
Unless the government makes some
effort to take the surpluses off the
market, prices are likely to slump.
Farmers Might Be Shy.
After their recent experiences with j
the drought, many farmers doubtless
would question the wisdom of com- j
plying with another AAA crop re- j
duction or soil conservation program }
next year. The crop insurance plan;
is expected to be more popular.
Howard H. Tolley, AAA adminis- j
trator is now holding a series of con- j
ferences in the field with county ag- j
ents farmers is to the crop insurance I
proposal. No attempt will be made to<
have such a plan put into effect un
less the majority of farmers show
they favor it.
Meanwhile, more immediate plans
for giving relief to thousands of
farmers whose 1936 crops have been
consumed by the drought went for
ward as the department of agricul
ture added twenty-six more counties
in Kansas and ten in Nebraska to the
official drought list bringing the to
tal to 965 in twenty-two states.
The resettlement administration
announced that it had extended aid in |
the form of grants and loans to 47,-
385 farmers in the drought area. A
total of 8750,381 had been advanced
in “subsistence” grants and in loans;
for boarding cattle on greener pas
tures.
The works progress administration
reported that 56,893 farmers had
been given work to date in nine great
plains states.
CCC Cuts Fire Losses.
While the drought has made tinder
boxes of many of the western forests, j
damages from forest fires will not be;
as great as it was during the dry
spell of 1934, United States forest
service officials believe.
Credit will go largely to the CCC,
which has built an increased number
of lookout stations where forest serv
ice “smoke chasers” can spot fires
and has trained its own members to ,
be experienced fire-fighters.
Approximately 6,000 men are fight- j
ing forest fires in the drought area
at the present time, the forest serv- 1
ice estimates.
You can’t please everybody; if you I
give them something for nothing
they swear there is a trick in the |
| idea, somewhere.
❖
There are citizens in Summerville
| who can run the government better
than any official that could be
j elected.

BACK-TO-FARM TREK NOTED.
Nearly Two Million Leave Cities For
Life in Rural Sections.
The back-to-the-farm movement of
the past five years has resulted in
j the calculation that one out of every
sixteen persons in the 31,800,907
farm population of the country lived
in cities, towns or other non-farm
residences five years ago.
Most of the migration has been to
small farms by families seeking to
produce at least part of the food —
particularly eggs, milk and vegeta
bles—needed for their own use. The
movement has increased by only a
small amount the production of farm
goods for sale.
The movement toward the farm has
been most pronounced in five regions,
the census bureau finds. The largest
1 is the Appalachian section along the
hills and mountains from Pennsyl
vania to as far south as Alabama.
In that region, it is explained, un
employed miners, lumber workers,
factory employes and other unable
to find work in industrial pursuits,
numbering between 250,000 and 500,-
000 individuals, returned to the small
; hill and valley farms which once
were abandoned or to farms operat
jed by their relatives or sympathetic
j friends.
i The movement has been largely
one of white persons, the nation’s
colored farm population declining
200,000 in the last five years.
Other Large Centers.
Areas around the industrial cen
ters of New England, New York,
i Michigan and Ohio are others where
| there has been a large farm migra
' tion.
The bureau finds that the move
ment has been largely one of whole
families rather than of single indi
viduals.
In support of this conclusion, the
report reveals an increase of about
500*000 in the number of farms dur
\ ing the same period of time.

BANKERS WILL MEET 1
IN ANNUAL COUNCIL
Business Men Also Invited to
Present Their Views on
Services of Banks
to the Public
WASHINGTON. D C. -Robert V.
Fleming, President American Bank
ers Association, has anrnunced that
the organization’s annua' convention
will be held 1 Sai Francisco. Sep
tember 21 -M and it? program will
call in not only bankers but speakers
from various lines of business to
present their viewpoints and advice.
The plans for the convention dis
cussions take into consideration the
fact he said, that one of the major
problems of banking today is to de
velop its operations along lines that
will create greater public under
standing of its methods and services.
“It is my earnest conviction that
such public understanding of bank
ing is not oni> an essential defense
against attacks from whatevei source,
but i:. also requisite tc reestablishing
it upon a firm and satisfactory basis
of profitable operations,” Mr Fleming
said.
General Improvement Cited
“The improvement in general con
ditions which is now taking place
should be of material aid to bankers
in carrying forward a constructive
prog, am for increasingly lsefuJ rela
tionship' b“tweer ranking and busi
ness. as well as one of more helpful
personal business :ervices to all our
people Sound banking conducted m
ways the public need and understand
must be the aim of successful bank
management
“How can the banker make his op
erations anr policies more under
standable to the people of his com
munity? How can better and broader
financial services oe soundly provid
ed? How can oanking improve its op
erating method? and mcome? These
and manv similar questions demand
the earnest attention of all bankers.
They call for a fresh counselling to
gether and a o*>w interchange of ex
perience and advic? jmrnp the mem
bers of our profession
“With these ho light? in mind, we
have built th* convmtion prog
with the view of also calling into cui
councils speakers from various line?
of business to give us their view
ooints and advice i can say without
reservation t.ha' tHr ir to mv mind
one of the most crucial year? in the
evolution of \meri'-an hanking, ann
that we are pasyng through a period
demar'd’Tio K pt'r-re cuo^era
tion and mutual exchange of view
point among ">ur members and oth
ers.”
Wear bev« Clothe*
Inhabitants of liapa. southernmost
island of Polynesia, wear only loin
cloths, although the climate is bitterly
cold at times.
IN MEMORY.
God, in His allwise providence, has
again entered our ranks and taken
from us a classmate, friend and a
brother.
Ben E. Baker was one of the char
ter members of the Berean class and
attended upon the duties involved
upon him as such in a faithful and
courageous way.
He was ever ready to join in on
anything fostered by the class for
spiritual uplift and material needs.
We commend to the class, the
church and community his life as an
example of a true soldier of the
cross and may it serve as an incen
tive to us left behind to endeavor to
attain higher and nobler things.
The class extends to the bereaved
family and relatives our deepest
sympathy in this hour of sorrow and
feel that our loss is Heaven’s gain
for all things work together for good
to those that love the Lord.
Respectfully submitted,

SEPTEMBER FOR RELIGIOUS
EDUCATION.
The Church Teaching
In our church program the work
of religious education is emphasized
during the month of September. The
teaching function of the church is in
direct response to Christ’s command,
“Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you.”
The religious instruction befng fiven
in our Sunday schools today vitally j
affects the welfare of the church, the
community, the state and even the
entire nation. May this month’s em
phasis on religious education bring
us closer to Christ’s teachings, and
His methods of teaching; and give
us a clearer vision of the far-reaching
effects of Sunday school instruction,
so that we may be stirred to greater
endeavor.
The Teacher’s Real Mission
The Swiss have erected two stat
ues in honor of the great teacher,
Pestalozzi. The first one represents
the teacher with two children by his
side, a lad and a lassie. The face of
the teacher is turned down toward
the faces of his pupils. The children
have their faces upturned toward
their beloved teacher, their eyes fix
ed intently upon him. For some years
this first statue stood as the only re
minder of the great teacher. How
ever, as his disciples thought more
seriously about him, the more discon
tented they became. They felt it did
not represent Pestalozzi in all his
greatness.
A second statue was erected and
stands in Zurich, Switzerland. Beside
the teacher stands a single lad. As
in the former case, the teacher is
looking down toward the face Os his
pupil. He is in the act of pouring out
his very life for the enlightenment of
his pupil. But when one notices close
ly the face of the boy, It is discover
ed that his eyes are fixed, not upon
the teacher, but beyond, into the
heaven, upon his God.
Surely this should be the desire of
every church-school teacher. His own
life may be poured out in service for
his pupils, but the knowledge im
parted should inspire the pupils to
look beyond the teacher, onvjnto the
heaven, to the Great Teacher of us
all.
