Not only are all borrowers from the association, the holders of Class E stock, expected to be present, but a most cordial invitation is also extended to all farmers in the territory served by the Association, and it is hoped that a large number will accept the invitation.

Directors of the association for the ensuing year will be elected at this meeting, and every member of the association is entitled to cast one vote regardless of the number of shares he owns.

Secretary Ferguson states that the Wilkesboro Association lias completed a very successful yoar, with almost 10 per cent collections thus far.

Loans can also be obtained by stockholders for the purpose of enabling them to 7>Van?V -uuiiic dl LCt ailUllS, ltSm j pairs and improvements on farm dwellings.

For complete information on loans, W atauga farmers 1:103- communicate with S. C. Kggers, local secretary, in the Watauga Count3' Bank building. f FARMERS OF STATE EOSE ' RANDS TO BECOME TENANTS Farm tenancy is being brought about in these latter years by farmers losing their lands and sliding down the social scale from landowner, to renter ,to shore cropper, to laborer, and this means a new approach must be made to the problem as studied b3" agricultural leaders. "Fully 60 per cent of the farm laborers involved in a recent study made by the experiment station were once landowners," said Or. C. Horace Hamilton, rural sociologist at State College, in an address before the annual extension conference last week. "This indicates that we have been thinking incorrectly about the tenant problem. We have few cases where laborers got to be share croppers, cash renters and finally landowners. The trend is down the other way and it means that drastic action must be taken to rid the State and the South ot me tenancy evu. Dr. Hamilton said there were some good aspects of tenancy in that it allowed a division of labor and other advantages. He said also that tenancy is not a natural result of the type of agriculture in a section, yet he declared the system to be a blight on the development of a high type of rural citizenship and should be wiped ' out. Some of the suggestions he made for building a land-owning citizenry in the State included: easier credit for smaller farmers; a graduated land tax which would tend to break up the large estates; dive, fication of agriculture other than by production oon trial; payments of principal and interest OH to rr!fV index of farm income; eliminate the risk of foreclosure, and make former 4-H Club members and other such -persons a preferred group from which to build land owners. ^ MOTORS REPAIRED!

A General 1 OP ANY, Bflt PAGE THREE AN APPRECIATION The resignation and departure of our beloved pastor, Rev. J. C. Canipe, has brought to our minds the realization that all human ties and relationships, however pleasant they may be, must ultimately be broken. When he came to us seven years sgo with bis buoyant, optimistic personality?which had been cultivated, and ripened by years at the Seminary iiid in evangelistic work?wr- mnr veled at his thoughts and the elojuence of his tongue. He has done a .vonderful work. Each year lias many auiels to his credit - the membership greatly enlarged, the spiritual life ieepened. al3o the congregation has gone for,vara in a material way unJer his leadership. A lovely new house 5f ..orsbip has been constructed and the entire Baptist household of this vicinity has taken or. new life. Although our minds and hearts we're to some degree prepared for the inevitable, yet his resignation and departure was a shock of regret to the entire membership of the church. Be it resolved that we. the members if Siler City Baptist Church, in conference duly assembled, do hereby express to I-tev. Canipe and his splendid wife our sincere Christian affection ind our eternal gratitude for the faithful and efficient service which they have rendered unto the Lord's cause in this community, and our deep regret at their departure from our midst, a.id our earnest good wishes for their future welfare, happiness and success. And further, we do most whole-heartedly commend them to the Church at Sooue, North Carolina, and may God's richest blessings attend them as they labor in the newly chosen field. MRS. C. L.
