The sub-committee composed of J. E. Winslow of Pitt as chairman, J. T. Valentine of Nash and S. E. Co:trane of Guilford will make a study of the centralized organiza tion contract as adopted in South Carolina, the de-centralized or fed eiation contract which calls for a;: central organization with federated groups formed in the different sec tions of the state. Thirteen members of the organi- i zation committee met in the offices of Dean I. O. Schaub at State Col-: lege on the afternoon and evening ; of February 11. At first there was, a lengthy, informal discussion a- ( bout conditions for the association in the various districts represented by the 13 committeemen. Not all of the reports were favorable to-, wards the organization of an asso ciation to market the tobacco crop of 1930 though some members did think it possible to get under way by 1931. The committee reported numerous obstacles and lack of en thusiasm on the part of growers and others. However, the com mittee, will report back to a mass meeting of growers to be called as early as possible. The sub-committee will work with representatives of the Federal Farm Board and with the Division of Co-operative Marketing of the Board in trying to offer the best contract to suit conditions in North Carolina. Dr. J. G. Knapp. econo mist at State College and Dean I. O. Schaub will also advise with the other committee in it* labors. * * + PERSONAL + + + , TTTT T rTTT-XTTTTTTTTTTTTTXT Hubert Turner of Raleigh visi ted his sister, Mrs. H. W. Scott here Monday.

SMALL INCOME PREDICTED FOR THE YEAR 1930 j Smaller incomes even than inj 1929 are in store for the farmers | of North Carolina In 1930, Dr. G.l W. Forster, head of the department of agriculture economics at North Carolina State College, cautions In an article on the farm outlook for! 1930, appearing in North Carolina I Farm Business, a publication of the State College Extension Service. Big carryovers from last year in cotton, tobacco and peanuts make acreage reduction in tobacco and peanuts and no further increase in cotton acreage necessary this season, says Dr. Forster. Indications point to fair condi tions for early Irish potatoes but for a very heavy yield and small prices for potatoes in general. Only for the production of hogs and strawberries do the conditions seem more than normally favor able. "If the acreage changes suggest ed by this outlook report are adopt ed," declares Dr. Forster, "a cur tailment in the acreage of cotton, tobacco, potatoes and peanuts will result. On land thus released, ad ditional hay, pasture and feed grains may be grown. Such feet} can then be utilized by hogs, poul try and dairy cows that will more nearly supply the demand in the farm home ar>d the nearby local ity. ? Two important benefits would fesulti. first, a better balanced diet would be available for the farm family; and second, more satisfac tory prices would probably be re ceived. "The 1930 outlook may appear a gloomy one, but to North Caro linans who are working for great er prosperity and better times for our farm population, it may be ad vantageous." Dr. Forster praises Governor Gar dner's "Live At Home" program and advocates a "farm plan" that will furnish more of the household and animal feed requirements. More than 1.600 hens have been blood tested in Forsyth county this winter preparatory to their use as breeders. T. L. Shelton of Madison county reports a yield of 864 pounds of high quality burley tobacco from one-half acre of ground fertilized with 400 pounds of a 12-4-6 mix ture. Chatham County farmers have ordered 10.000 pounds of lespedeza seed for planting this spring. Many farmers saved th~ir own seed last fall and will sow these on small grain. , I Harden Farm, South of Gra ham Sold to Pennsylvanian. It Is learned from Phil S. Dixon, real estate dealer, that he has sold the Harden farm, just outside the corporate limits of Graham on the south, to Mr. Geo. Gantz, of Route No. 1, Middletown, Pa., who is ex pected to arrive here next week with his family to make their home. The acreage purchased is about 200 acres and Mr. Gantz contem plates the purchase of other lands adjacent, all of which he will im prove and put in high class con dition. The community will welcome the coming of thrifty citizens of the Cantz type to help build up the waste places. Mr. Dixon bought this property of Walter R. Harden. It was own ed by the latter's father, John Will iams Harden, whose father was Col. John Harden. Here Col. Har den had his home and here he reared a large family consisting of five sons and four daughters, if we are correctly informed. The old home was remodeled some 25 or more years ago, but the greater part of this original home1 was preserved with its quaint, lit tle rooms and big fire places. It1 was more than a century ago that the original home was built and it is, at least, of local historic in terest. It was the property of three generation at least, of one family, i Our information about this old home is hazy and traditional, but it is probable that Col. Harden's father may have had his home here at one time, which would carry the ownership back to pre Revolutionary days. It is at least historically true that Col. Harden or his father, maybe both, fought in the Revolutionary war. It is hoped that Mr. Gantz and his family will find this a pleas ant place to live and that his plans for the improvement of the estate may materialize to his entire sat isfaction. PHENOMENAL GAIN IN TRUST SERVICES By JOHN Q. DONSDALE President American Bankers Association SO phenomenal has been the Increase of trust business that statisticians are unable to keep a true record of us advancement. There are now something like 3,500 active trust departments i n banks In America, while In 1900 only 165 active trust departments had been established. In becoming the custodians or the guardians of the property of oth ers, bankers as sume what has Kaon fltHnrrlsr dnem John G. Lonsdale bo nnn ?# ??vu uiuugi j UGSV.HUCU ao v?uo ui IUC "most exalted human relationships ever created by law." They become at once a big brother, a big sister, an advisor, or a confessor, sworn so to conduct themselves that clients will be won to them by their ability and integrity. Thousands of little children have re ceived an education and have been started off right In life through the trust department's safe keeping and guidance of the family estate, number1 less widows have been protected from merciless stock swindlers, many thou sands of business men have been re lieved of troublesome details in the conduct of their business through the creation of a living trust and still others have safeguarded their busi ness enterprises through life insur ance trusts. The favorable reaction of the public toward trust department service is not accidental. It may be traced jointly to the growing intelligence of the American people in financial affairs and to advertising to the world at large the merits of trust services. Ad vertising used in a sensible, judicious way is necessary, a power that has ac complished much good for humanity. Among the detailed services, rei/ dered by a trust department the one that seems to be winning favor the fastest is the life insurance trust. Life insurance is the quickest known way of creating an estate. In reality it af fords the possessor the opportunity of. setting up a positive monetary safe guard for his family and then paying for It on the Installment plan. A married man is not fair to his family if he fails to carry life insur ance. I would say to the young man, "Buy Insurance before you buy the ring," and to the young woman I would say, "Marry no man so thought less as to scoff at life insurance." Two cars of fat hogs shipped from Craven county brought the top price of over ten cents a pound on the Richmond market. Oped Pate, a 4-H Club boy of Craven county, is selling carefully, selected tobacco seed saved in the1 field last fall, to buy a pure bred dairy calf. r i IF FEED IS SHORT SOW SPRING OATS I Oats provide one of the best grain feeds for workstock in hot weather, and the farmer with two or three mules to feed and no grain to supply them except what is pur-' chased, should plant a few acres early this spring. Spring-sown oats yield well in a favorable season. ! "A hungry mule will eat oats in the bundle with relish," says G. M. Garren, cereal agronomist at State College. "A better ration can be prepared, however, by getting out the old feed cutter and cutting the oat bundle, mixing this with some wheat bran, shorts or middlings.; Some work is involved but a fine feed for work animals is secured. Any moderately fertile, well- drain-. ed land is suitable for the crop.' Prepare it well by breaking six or' seven inches deep; harrow and then use about 400 pounds of an 8-4-4 mixture fertilizer, top-dress with about 75 pounds an acre of nitrate of soda.^ Mr. Garren advocates the Ftilg hum or Burt varities for spring sowing. Two and one-half bushels of seed an acre is suggested and the earlier the seed are planted after danger of freezing is over, the better crop will be produced. The young oat plantlet is easily killed just as it peeps from the ground. Ordinarily, Mr. Garren recom mends that oats be planted in the fall and he gives an instance where 77 bushels an acre was produced on 7.3 acres. If there is not enough feed on the place to carry the live stock until harvest, however, spring oats will save the situation and this year, when everyone should attempt to live-at-home, sowing spring oats is an excellent tempo rary measure. I Costly Road Building A good road, smooth as a billiard table, with neatly graveled shoulders and white-painted fences alongside, may be one of the ugliest things In a verdant countryside. Where It cuts a rocky hillside the blasting makes skeletons of living trees; where It grades a sandbank construction rips up the natural growth of roadside flowers and leaves a jagged scar; where It plunges Into a forest the Improved road seems by some un erring chance to demand the right of way from the finest old oak and inaple trees. When the work Is done the road Is merely a road leading somewhere?the lingering Invitation of the old countryside Is gone. NOTICE. Mortgagee's Sftle.

BANKERS REPORT I DROPIN SAVINGS Lure of Stock Market Partly to Blame, bijt Slackened Specula tion Expected to Bring Return , to Thrift The first recession In the nation's savings account In banks In the twen ty years during which records In this field hare been kept by the American Bankers Association was disclosed lor last year in the recent annual compila tion prepared by Its Savings Bank Division. The shrinkage amounted to over $195,000,000, on the basis of fig ures for the year ending June 29, 1929, whereas a year earlier the reported in crease was over $2,300,000,000, the largest ever recorded. The number of savings depositors also decreased during the year covered by more than 500,000 accounts. The lure of the stock market and affiliated activities are cited as part of the explanation for these changes. The association's statement says that savings deposits In banks and trust companies of continental United States on June 29, 1929, stood at $28, 217,656,000. The recession In savings, j It declares. Indicates a fundamental change In the savings situation. Irre spective of whether It Is temporary err not. How Savings Used to Grow *""* "In 1926 savings deposits Increased $1,562,000,000, In 1927 almost $1,400, 000,000 and in 192S over $2,300,000, 000," It says. "It appears now that some Influences In one year have taken the gain that might reasonably have been expected In savings deposits for 1929 and lowered tbem from the high mark of the preceding year. This re cession Is not one coming as a result of drontb, famine, unemployment or conditions outside of the United States. "A year ago It was stated: The year closing June 30, 1928, registered the largest gain In savings deposits in banks and trust companies of conti nental United States ever recorded In the history of this country.' What a difference one year makes! From a gain of more than 2 <4 billions of dol lars in savings deposits to a loss of al most 200 millions! "The loss In savings deposits Is re flected also In the loss of savings de positors. The year 1929 showed a to tal of 52,664,127 depositors, against 51,188,348 for 1928, a loss of 524.221. "Industrial production was much higher last year than the preceding year. Factory payrolls were consld- ' erably greater. In production, em ployment and trade, advances were made over the preceding year. In the farm areas the Improvement noted for 1928 did not recede In 1929 and the livestock Industry in all Its branches was prosperous. The Causes of the Drop "The causes of the recession are | possibly multiple. There Is scarcely i any reason to doubt that one of the Important factors draining away sav ings and decreasing depositors has Been the lure of profits to be made In stocks. For a number of years the people have been, regaled with stories of profits made In stocks In all types of companies. During the last few years there has been a specious phi losophy preached that panics such as formerly occurred were no longer pos sible. "It It was the lure of profits In stocks which cabled the recession In savings, then a factor In fnture sav- j lngs will be the success attendant upon this venture of savings depos itors in stocks. If the experiment did not prove generally successful, then 1 another year will doubtless witness an Increase In savings deposits as well as In savings depositors." HELPING YOUNG FOLK TO BECOME BANKERS Through the American Institute of Banking, which la the American Bank era Aaaociation'a educational section, the banking profession la educating 35,000 back men and women In the technical and scientific departments of their work. The e studenta are en abled by this Institute, which la entire ly non-commercial in Its operations, to obtain a grasp of 'be finer pointa of j banking without interrupting their employment or interfering with their earnings. In their bank jobs. The courses given. Including bank ing economics and law and bank ad ministration in all the departments, hare been worked out under the di rection of senior college educators and the lectures are always glren by practical men, such as lawyers in the . legal courses, experts in banking oper atlons and college professors in the economics courses. There are chap ters with meeting rooms in over 200 1 cities and also a number of smaller study groups are fostered with cor- ' respondence aid. It has been said that the A. L B? as It Is familiarly known throughout the banking field, is the greatest adult ed ucational organization in the world and Is supplying the banking bnelness with the largest supply of trained workers each year that any eompir- 1 able line of business is receiving. The organization holds an annual conven- j tion attended by hundreds of young . bank workers as well as senior bank ! officers actively lnAbested In further- | Ing the institute's educational work, i at which numerous technical subjects of practical banking application are presented and discussed. This year's convention will be held at Denver, Colorado, June It to 30. K^?8|- ? ? SUCCESSFUL W?1HOMEMAKING \ By GRACE VIAll GRAY THE UNEXPECTED GUEST It's a simple thing to revive Grani ma's Idea of the ever-filled cookie jar In these days of self-rising flour! The modern housewife can have cookies of all descriptions ready for the unex pected guest. Grandma's Idea was Just a tradl tion of her time, that no one shoui^ leave her house without food or drink. Grandma always expected the unex pected guest That was hospitality. That was neighbor!Iness. That was courtesy of the most genuin* sort. And Grandma handed down her fine old tradition to daughter and son. and to her descend ants to the third and fourth generation. Grandma's idea is h sacred legacy to the modem housewife, and hospitality lives again throughout the land. Of no small Importance in this renaissance of graciousness are the modern "bakin' ma kin's." With self rising flour. Grandma's heir or heiress can have on tap a variety of cooki??. cookies simply made and in less than half an hour. Then, when some on* drops In unexpectedly, there will be no need of sneaking out for Ice cream and delicatessen cake. Self-rising flour Is a home tabor saver. ready for use, reliable, nutri tive. It is a soft wheat flour to which the baking powder and salt have been added. Self-rising flour Is an Insur ance against all baking haz.nl*. Try filling up your cookie Jar with this recipe: Lemon Cookies. H cup butter 1 lemon. Jufoe an-1 1 cup sugar grated rind. 2 eggs 1 tap. lerr.on ?x cup milk tract. 2 cups self-r : -? fiour Directions: Cream the butter ai ! sugar together. Add unbeaten eg.s one at a time. Beat until thorough y blended. Add flour and miik alter nately. Then add the lemon juice, rind and extract. Drop by teaspoonful on a greased baking sheet and bake In a moderate oven about *J0 minutes.
