PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
COMMENDS CO-OPS
Glad iiOjOOO Tobacco Growers Send
Representatives Abroad To Eypand
Markets.
(S. p. Frlssell)
A strong endorsement of cooperative
marketing by- President Calvin Cool
Idge and approval of the mission to
Europe upon which officials of the
Tobacco Growers Cooperative Associa
tions have gone with representatives
of 250.000 organized growers Is con
tained in a letter to Judge Robert W_
Bingham which has been made public
by the Burley Tobacco Growers Coop
erative Association whom Judge Bing
ham is representing on the commission
of the associated planters to the
? European consumers of Americr.n to
baccos. The letter of the President
to Judge Bingham as made public by
the Burley fobacco Growers Asso
ciation cental'#* the following com
ments on this endeavor by organized
American tobacco farceurs to expand
their foreign markets: ,
"My Dear Judge Bingham: It has ,
given me much satisfaction to learn
that your association is sending to
Europe a commission to represent Its
varied and highly important Interests.
I am sure that these cooperative to- ,
bacco marketing associations repre
sent at least 250.000 tobacco growers,
and that your commission Is going
abroad in behalf of the export busi
ness in American tobacco with the
purpose of establishing the most in.
tlmate and mutually helpful relations
with the tobacco industries of Europe.
"Having been for a long time pro
fondly impressed with the desirability
of developing the cooperative market
ing movement to its utmost possibili
ties in this country, 1 am especially
pleased to know of the mission upon
which you are going.
"Your mission suggests the possiblli
ty of that larger cooperation on an
international basis, which is the as
piration of all who hope for a better
organized, more productive and more
efficient civilization in this world.
Happily, nearly all cf us have passed
the time v-hen we Indulge suspicion
that the profit of one country, through
International trade, must Bornehow
represent the loss of some other coun
try. We recognize that the prosperity
and advancement of every community
are at last certain to be shared by the
other communities with which It main
tains relations. For this reason, your
embasr.y must be regarded as not only
a quest for business and profits, but
also has an unselfish effort to coordi
nate in a mutual advantageous way
the interests of our own country with
other communities.
"Feeling as I do profoundly assured
that this is the true measure of such
movements. I wish to extend assur
ances of my hope for the most sat
isfactory results, together with my be
lief that yours Is one calculated to
bring the world Into closer and better
understanding neighborship, which
Will be the most effective guarantee
of peace atid of the widest . expansion
Bf civilization.
Most sincerely yours,
CALVIN COOLIDOE"

SCHOOL CLOSES
Last Friday night the people of

church for the closing exercises of the
elementary school.
An epidemic of several diseases pre.
vented the pupils from presenting the
usual program. ~ "~
After the opening song, "America,"
the promotion cardswere given the
first six grades. Nearly all the pupils
made the grades, only a few who were
kept out of Bchool on account of sick
neBS failed to complete the required!
work.
Xext in order was a splendid dis
course by Judge Q. M. Beam of Louis>|
burg, who was introduced by Prof.
Crawford In a most fitting manner,
the subject "Over the Plate," was ably
handled. When the word 'baseball' was
Eounded It touched a receptive chord
in the hearts of the hearers and toned
them to appreciate the beautiful Illu
stration in parallel he made getting
"Over the Plate." to the home base
and getting throufh life to the "Home
Eternal." Vividly were described the
Importance of physical mental and
moral training needed to help one
"Over the Plate."
The speakers unique style con.
trolleda simplicity that entertained
and appealed to the little folks while
flights of fancy charmed the grown
ups when potraylng the parental ob
ligations and the opportunities of the
rural child.
The seventh grade pupils to receive
diplomas were Eugene Harper, Bruce
and Joshua Tharrlngton. These were
presented by Prof. Crawford In a most
appropriate manner.
Then came something on the pro.
gram entirely new |n the community,
readings, by a real artist given by
Mrs. James King of Loulsburg. A
little fellow near the front said: "She's
the whole show, I wish she would
keep on saying pieces." This remark
voiced the sentiments ofmany others.
The loud, continued applause after
each reading bespoke the appreciation
of the audience.
Last came the awarding of prizes
and medals. The custom of giving re
wards to the ones In each grade for

TWO CHOPS IRISH POTATOES
GROWN IN NORTH CAROLIN^
Raleigh.. May 12. ? There are two
general cropa of potatoes grown In
North Carolina. One crop la tor the
early marke grow in the eastern
part of the state, and the other Is a
late or general crop grown In the moun
tain section, explain horticultural
workers of the State College and De.
Bartment of Agriculture.
For commercial plantings in ' the
eastern part of the state, the Irish
Cobbler variety is used principally.
TJjis early crop is planted during
February or early March and harvest
ed the last of May to the middle of
June. Shipments are made to the north
ern markets. The seed for this crop
is usually purchased from, the pota
to growers of Maine and Canada. Some
certified seed are being used and there
is a tendency toward using more. The
certified seed potatoes grown In the
mountains of western North Carolina
have been tested against the northern
grown seed. Last year on 18 different
faru.H in three of the principal potato
qpctfons, the North Carolina Mountain
grown seed yielded an average of 174
tmshels No. 1 and 48 bushels No. 2
and culls per acre, while the northern
grown potatoes yielded 160 bushels
o. 1 and 51 bushels No. 2 and culls per
acre. 1 here was no difference in date
of maturity.
The home grown seed, that is po.
tatoes planted the preftons fall to be
tased for seed the following spring,
yielded more than either the northern
grown or "North Carolina Mountain
?gTown seed, but they -were a week to
ten days later tn maturity.
In the mountain section of the state
the Irish Cobbler Is grown chiefly for
tBe early crop. A few Early Rose are
grown every year. For the fall crop
the Rural New Yorker Is the main
variety Used. The crop grown for the
'table use Is usually shipped to south,
ern markets.
In the higher sections of the moun
tains the Irish Cobblers are being
grown for certified seed. The State
Department of Agriculture gives two
field Inspections and one bin lnspec.
tlon to the growers who want the in
spection service for certification.
SJast year the certified seed potatoes
sold at quite a premium over the table
stock. The outlook for the growing
of certified seed is very promising at
this time, as the growers of the early
and South Carolina are very much

FARMERS SELL 8UR
f- PLCS AT AUCTION
, Wadesboro, May 12. ? A practice be
ing developed by farmers In Anson
county is the holding of a farm auc- 1
tion sale at Wadesboro on the first
Monday in each month. As a result
several thousand dollars worth of sur
plus farm produce has been sold at

fat mers have enjoyed a closer relation
with the business men of the city.
The movement has been fostered by
the. Wadesboro Advertising Clnb coop

ers are Invited to list their products
the week before with the chairman of
the auction committee appointed by
the club, but as a general thing the
products are listed on the day of the
sale. All expenses are paid by the
liusme;? organization. The sales have
been going on now for about two
years and Interest has ben steadily
increasing So metimes only a few hun
dred dollars worth of produce Is sold
and on other days as much as one or
two thousand dollars worth changes
hands.
Mr. Camero states that the adver

mittee to get behind the sales and
push them along. He says also that
