Thla shows that the people are not so
much down In the mouth with the Co
operative Association, as the opposi

Why Should the Tenant Want
A Change
Why should the tenant (aimer real
ly ilsstre a change In the marketing
of hie (arm crops? Of course there
are exceptions to all rule*. However,
viewing this question from the stand
patet of the average farm tenant, we
don't believe there is any real desire
in his heart to make a change. We
don't mean that we donl believe
that all of them doo't want more tor
their crops than they 4re getting.
The fact is we think they do. But
are they willing to help make a new
system, or have they the confidence
in mankind to do them a benefit.
The average tenant has been held
down and become so Imbued by the
old system, together with hid expert
tnce in almost everything that he has
ever seen attempted In the name of
helping him. bringforth harder trials
and conditions that he Is naturally
skeptical. Adding to this the (act
that a large number of those whom
he has been dealing with in the old sya
tern telling him all kinds of propo
ganda, playing upon his prejudices
and fears it Is no wonder he has a
lack of confidence. Going a little fur
ther he realizes that his past in so
tar as crops are concerned, has been
a gamble between his landlord and
his time merchant with the odds all
in his favor, therefore why should he
care to take a chan<5fe at a change.
No doubt there are only a few like :
the fellow who said to the editor of
the Times one day "no he didn't want
to Join the Co-ops because If he did
he would have to deliver his crop to
it and his time merchant would get
all the money, hut out he could
carry off a lot, sell it and spend the I
money before his tilme merchant
found it out." But there are a large
number who know that if they can't
get enough money for their crop
to pay their advances they do uot
lose. The account is settled in a sense
with the sale of that years crop. These
conditions together with the hard
light 'hat is on, with this smaller and
possible prejudicial, and certainly
care.^as view point natuially makes
him question the wisdom of a change.
This attitude on the part of the aver
age tenant farmer, is generally known
to both landlord and merchant who
have invested a large portion of their
proflts in the past in the failures ot
the tenant, and through this Invest
ment made a voluntary donation to
those who have profited by the pur
chase ot the crops under the old sys
tem. In ?o other way would these
landlords and merchants make such
a donation to another persons profit
account. ?
It Is these facts that convince us
together with the fact that no other
line of business recognises the old
crop sale system as a profitable one,
that It is time for the landlord and
the merchant to require their tenants
and customers to sell their crops In
a way, Mt for one year only, but
(or a permanent plan that would
guarantee the payment of the cost
ot the supplies that It necessarily
takes to ]prodac4 them.

HOME SEED POTATOES
ARE BEST
Elliabeth City, N. C. July 18. Seed
Irish potatoes secured from growers
in the mountains o f Western North
Carolina demonstrated their superior
ity over those trom Canadian and
Maine sources in a teat recently con
cluded by County Agent G. W. Falls
of Pasquotank County. Mr. Falls put
out a demonstration with M. B. Sam
ple of this county early in the spring
in an effort to find out whether the
N. C. grown ??ed would do as well
as the Northern grown seed.
Mr. Sample reported that the yield
on the three plots was practically
the same, being at the rate of UOO
bushels of marketable potatoes per
acre. The -seed from Western Carolina
however, produced the earlier p'ants
and yielded a few more No. 2 stock
than the others. The Canadian stock
showed a tendency to he later bat
were well fruited. Since earllness is
an important matter in getting best
prices for new poatoes, it would seem
from Mr. Sample's results that the
home grown seed had an advantage
over the Northern cfop.
According to Dire tor B. W. Kll
gore of the Extension Service this
lest U in line with similar results ft
cured by the specialists of the State
College and Department of Agricul
ture. There is now no need for North
Carolina farmers to buy their seed
stock trom Maine or any other North
ern point because, now that seed in
spection work has been put on in the
mountains and tests show that heal
thy seed from this source is better
than imported seed, eastern farmers
may look to the western growers
for their seed to the mutual advant
age of both. .
