The underlying conditions largely causing these differences is not hard to find.

My observations are, that to a large extent they are fundamentally conected with differences in the pro ductiveness of the soils of these different communities. Does not this then, unmistakably point to the fact that the greatest and most fundamental necessity of North Carolina farming is that of securing and applying information that will aid in the economic building up of the productiveness of soils of the State?

She is Miss Kathleen d'Olier of Rochester, X. who established the first and only child welfare center in Athens. Greece, in 1920. That center was established under the American Red Cross nursing service.

Miss d'Olier is in Washington now where she will remain until leaving for Porto Rico where she will undertake the establishment of the first child welfare center for the United States.
