^11 PUBLI5ME.D BY TML hOR-TM CAROLIMA 5TATL BQAgP s^MLALTM Vol. XLIX FEBRUARY, 1934 No. 2 Notes and Comment The month of February has two points of significant interest for at least two classes of people of North Carolina. One is Saint Valentine's Day, which interests the young folks; the other is Garden Planting Month, which is a responsibility of the householders of the rural districts of the State, or certainly for the southern half of the State. The old-time farmer and gardener of North Carolina looked upon any neighbor who failed to begin his garden planting in the month of February as not living up to the traditions of a tiller of the soil. For our State it is very probable that in no year since 1865 has it been more important for the people to begin early and to continue every day throughout the year to plan and cultivate just as many of the food crops as it is possible to raise. The cultivation should be thorough and intensive and should cover every available plat in the State capable of producing vegetables and other food crops. The expenditures of the National Government at the rate it has been going for the last few months cannot continue forever. Prosperity may be here by December, nobody may be without a job, cotton and tobacco may sell at a high price, the crops may be bountiful; if so, no harm will have been done. On the other hand, jobs may be harder to secure than ever before, money may be scarcer, cash crops may sell for less; but food which is raised and saved will be capable of saving life and preventing hunger for all the population. Such diseases as pellagra and such conditions as malnutrition among children can be entirely prevented by proper attention to the production and distribution of the food crops which can be raised anywhere in this State. From the standpoint of health, happiness, and prosperity nothing could be more important than attention to this matter by all our people. * :ie * SOMETIME ago Senator J. W. Bailey had a very interesting article in some of the daily papers under the general title of "What Is the Matter With North Carolina?'' In the course of his article Senator Bailey mentioned the fact that North Carolina could easily care for a population of five million or more, provided the industrial and agricultural population were properly balanced and foreign markets for surplus products developed so as to assure a productive occupation for every individual constituting such a population. On the same date in which Senator Bailey's article appeared in the papers a dispatch from Japan was published in one of the New York papers. The Japanese article was confined largely to a discussion of the rapidly increasing population of Japan, the rate of increase being placed at between 400,-000 and 500,000 a year. In fact, last year the increase was more than a million. The population of that country on October 1 was placed at more than 66,000,000. The average Japanese farm is 2.7 acres in extent and supports an average family of six people. The statement was made that Japan is more crowded than any other country in the world, being nearly three times as thickly populated as Belgium. The reader can understand something of
