EIGHTY PER CENT STATE FARMS ARE MORTGAGE FREE • Agriculture in North Carolina is still a billionaire and even a billionaire may wear a black eye but black eyes have a way of disappearing. Thus did Wheeler McMiilcn, as sociate editor of Country Home, sum marize the agricultural situation in the United States and bring his sum mary to fit North Carolina, in an ad dress last week before the 29th annual session of the State Farmers' Con vention. Eighty percent of the farms in this State operated by their own ers are mortgage-free and agriculture is still solvent. Mr. McMitlen said that the condi tion of agriculture was not so bad as it might be and he held out a rather hopeful outlook for the future. He did | say that this period of depression would have the effect of forcing the | incapable man out of the game but would leave ,tfhe alerit, /business-like j farmer on firm ground. Land taxes i must be reduced, however, for the' farms are still carrying too heavy a [ tax burden in comparison with the income from them. In this speech, Mr. McMitlen indi rectly took issue with Senator J. W. Bailey who declared agriculture to be prostrate in his address on the open ing day of the convention. Mr. Bailey said the national government must de vote its energies during the next 65 years to giving the farm the same at tention it had commerce and industry during the past 65 years. With 33, million persons having a low buying! power, the Nation cannot revive untill these persons are revived. President H. G. Ashcraft sounded a more optimistic note in his address when he declared his faith in the fu-j tur'e of farming and said lowered pro-j duction and better business will come to the aid of farming the future. "I' am sold on agriculture," declared the president, as he asked the 1,000 dele- Hates to strive for a better rural life. NOTICE North Carolina, Martin County—ln the Superior Court. P. L.
