C, on October 30, was printed in full in the issue of the Progressive Farmer for November 10th. This address was one that every farmer in Madison County should have heard; it was one that (very farmer could have heard with benefit to himself and to his community and his county if he would put its ad vice into practice. Because' of the value of this to the farmers and because we believe that even those who listened to Dr. Poe can read it with even great er profit because of having hepr the address we are ask ing that the Editor publish Dr. Poe's address in full. The address follows : I am glad to be here today In re sponse to y6ur call. It it were not for the unusual nature of your meeting, I should not have felt that I could afford to leave much urgent business to attend this meeting.

In your case, however, I know that much preliminary work has already been done. You have already been do ing considerable business in the co operative purchase and distribution of fertilisers, seeds, and feeds, mad the business gives promise of sufficient growth to justify the building yon are considering.-After any trips to Europe, studying agricultural cooperation in Denmark, Ireland, etc., some ' years ago, I often stressed the fact that far mers should grow into agricultural cooperation rather than go into agri cultural cooperation, and this is still sound doctrine. The fact that our cot ton and tobacco cooperatives have not been more successful is largely due to the fact that it was a case of going into cooperation rather than of grow ing into it. I have always been tre impressed by what a English authority said yon make your farm business a a result of this policy, the more money you have for baying everything lse your merchant has to sell.' Hence, our Southern merchants themselves should recognise the fact that la the case of these three lines of gooos-- fertilixers, seeds, and feeds-arnusri are haI ' ttntftttnf ' itfffiniiw mAWtitiftlA articles but are llv knvini -ia 'ri WINTER QUARTER TO OPEN AT CULLOWHEE STATE NORMAL ' WITH REGISTRATION DEC.' 19.1 i Registration for the (winter traarter will be held at Cullowhee State nor mal on December 18th.

No higher duty rests on our agricul tural leadership today than that of discovering where farmers are will ing to take the lead in various forms of business cooperation and then giv ing these groups all the encourage ment and aid which such an endeavor ao well justifies.

This was the explanation : "They failed because they disre garded the primary truth that no large political or social reconstrucion can be successful unless it is established on some prior preparation in the hearts and minds- of men." You are fortunate in that your en terprise represents a growth "a prior preparation in the hearts and minds of men" and that having been faithful over a few things you are now ready to undertake somewhat are entitled to buy on dealers' terms that is to say, at wholesale prices.1 There are, in short, two compelling reasons why farmers should coopera tively buy the fertilizers, seeds, and feeds that they need, as follows: 1. Yon can select your material more intelligently. 2. Yon can buy whatever yon se lect more economically. Let us consider the first point first.

Like every other fine piece of machinery, it will serve you better and longer If given proper care. One of the best ways to do this is to take your car to the Ford dealer every 500 miles for oiling and greas ing and a cheeklng-up of the little things that have such a great bearing on long life and continuously good performance.
