yf if VOLUME XLII, NO. 27 Today and ' Tomorrow By FRANK P. STOCK BRIDGE , P Oranges In California 78 per cent, of the orange and lemon growers ship through co-operative organizations. In 11*30 California grew 30 per Sent, fewer oranges than in 1020, and got fifteen million more dollars for it. In Florida more than 100 different shipping agencies control the *! shipment and sale of oranges. Flor- ^ ida growers, except a few large one? ' maintaining their own marketing organizations, make very little money for their work. They are nearer p the great orange-consuming centers, but they have never been able to organize co-operalivcly and pull to- li gether. => < ^ Inventors ? An "inventor" was indicted in \\ New York the other day oil the charge 7 of swindling gullible investors out of more than a million dollars in the ft! past four years. He had an in veil-1 tl tion which would revolutionize auto- n mobiles and airplanes, a hew kind D ?f ?;rigine?so he said. The great cot- T poratioiis were trying: to steal it d; from him, but he wouldn't let them, ti Instead, he wan letting; the common a neoole have a share in the enormous U a l'of its ' which the invention would t! earn. ii That was his story, and the common people, hit, as usual. Nothing tl s more persistent than the error- i? -otis belief that the great industrial !c companies always try to rob the in n ventor. The fact is just the other f< way. There is no Limit to the. price S which nay one of a dozen concerns f< would pay for an engine which could io what, this inventor claimed his- en- J't sine could do.

NORTH CA Depositors it Banks Sigt |n times of financial stress almost everyone begins to appreciate the value of banking institu- j lions and to understand what it means to a county when it becomes difficult to borrow money. Many barks over the . country onve closed their doors in the last year. A very small per cent, of these were forced to close because of unusual business methods dur- ) ins; the times of easy money and flush business, such as inflated securities ar,d stock market speculation. A large percentage of these bank failures were caused, not by ??; uusMiina oanKing melliods or fault whatever on the part of the banks or theiv officials, but nothing more nor less than just talfc, which produced a feeling of suspicion and uneasiness, followed by excessive withdrawals by depositors, which made it necessary to close at least temporarily. Many of j them arc now reopening since the people awolcc to their folly. The banks of V/alau&a County ! (while they are in excellent condition, having reduced their loans in the past year more than $135,00C), seeing some slight indications of spreading uneasiness j among the people which was cal- ' culated to cause heavy withdrawals bj' those wbo might not understand the real situation, in order to protect their depositors and ' in order to protect the people of 1 WEATHER DATA FOli IS COMPILED BY LC -i.

' Best Intere sts of Northwe ROLJKA, THURSDAY, JANUARY i Watauga i Agreement the whole county against the i wholesale destruction that must | follow the closing of banks, decid- j ed, after much deliberation by j many good citizens, as well as the bank officials?in order that these banks might be made absolutely safe against any dangerous withdrawals until the uneasiness is passed?to ask every person doing business wit.\ these institutions to sign an agreement not to with- j draw any moneys now on time deposit before October 25th, 1931, j and to maintain their chocking balance at 85 to 90 per cent, of what I it was at the close of the year 1930, until October 25th. These articles of agreement were j circulated by public-spirited men | without cost to the banks, in every community of the county. No such response has over been witnessed in this or perhaps any ot'icr coun- | ty. Qui of more than a thousand ! people who were asked to sign the agreements, those who refused to affix their signatures could be counted on the fingers of your two hands. All others who havenot had an opportunity to sign j; will be seen as q*iickly as possible. if unanimous response is given, as it appears will be, to this plan worked oul by the business men of the county, it will be to the best interest of every man and woman in the county. Every citizen will love his county and his neighbor better by reason of such heroic devotion to the common good. k TV 1 nm miVTrx ? ? i-rAST TWO YEARS I ICAL OBSERVATORY: 9 W 1 local Weather Biivi>aii. has mciuued 'ear? 1929 and 1920, and a fiance onvuiee the reader that the "weathc*' or Watai'H'a County during thai Mine: 1929 1930 . _ . - &. - - 01 a 7 i51 - ... 51 17 entire year. -J,.- 90 SO &S~ _ 17 IS mow (inches! 58.05 -10.! 1..8I 3.;!? fc j oar. .. .. o.hi 0.11 ... . ... 7.OS 5.55 W* l|2 .... 2.25 1.051 . ... 10.85 I 1.50 .. . ... 10.75 ! 0.25 8.00 15.00 precipitation. _ . . ..170 120 month 10 20 ontli __ to wKZ a sr. ....... . 1717 100 month 17 22 ^>I\th .fes : G 9 entire year - -120 1 09 in any month- 19 21 ' any month \ 0 1 year. __10X S7 | r numin . _ __ Ifi. 1.4 i nonih 0 1 12 15 ! : - J '!! | !l S j <j:i 70 | ... ?

First, they can ho grown! e'" at little expense, ana sijiond, the, 1,1 grower can tell whether they are pVjS free, of disease. 1 "The purchase of j'argc quantities;]1 of both major and minor seeds hy yf] growers- caetg year is tremendous." say.: Dr. R. F. Pooh. plant <hs:a>e' *roeCja.Mst oi' the N:o'S CaroBa F"-'ri,> lui'inunl station. "This outlay #?|g0 money is phi ;&0a#;pir.g with the.j -la aims T our. live-at-honie program.

I About the only attention necessary is to keep, them in modern telv drv' storage arid in tight containers. Seed a may he saved from the finest qual-j111 ity fruits without losing the edible P' parts. and. home grown, well matur- ! ed and properly stored seed will always give a high percentage of gey-j mination. ;0 By growing seed at home, the jv" grower can be assured that they are j w free from disease. This is not soj 1" easy in rainy seasons when heavy in-1 feet ion occurs before maturity; how-!{>ever. a few trials will give any'01 giowc a satisfied understanding of i 01 how stands and quality may be bettered by small effor.t For instance. 01 says Dr. Poole, the early bunch bean crop last season was entirely free of anthraenose and bacterial spot. No better seed stock could have been ^ obtained from any source, yet most\ '' of these fine beans were plowed un-i*^ dev. The grower will this season purchase his beans from another snureel ^ at a higher price when he could have J ^ had them very cheaply from a homej^1 supply. j ^ ' p' PHILIPPINE GOOD TURN i .
