To this fend he . advises the employment of expert tobacco men "to help ' the farmers in this section in their efforts to. ' properly produce, cure .and market their to bacco." . . iV-'y;-:.:' ' -The part of Mr. McLean's report bearing upon these; conditions fol lows: " :,.: V "The conditions which will , prob ably exist during the present year, and probably for ' several years to come, make it highly important that the affairs of the bank shall be con ducted in : even a more conservative and careful manner than heretofore, for the reason that the. advent of the boll weevil promises to revolutionize the agricultural and Business activi ties in .the territory which the Jbank serves. The experience of other sec tions of the cotton belt operating un der boll weevil conditions ' should serve as an emphatic ' warning to those 'whose business depends upon the production of cotton, that . they must readjust their business practi ces to meet the changed conditions. From personal observation and also from information which I have re ; ceived from others in other sections of the cotton belt, the severest loss es have occurred on ' account of the . fact that cotton producers, and those who finance cotton producers in the way of supplies and cash, on account of their failure to realize in time the '.great damage which will necessarily ensue from the depredations of the boll weevil.: Most of these losses Have occurred during the second and third years of the presence of the - boll weevil, by reason of the fact that everyone seemed to be inclined to try : to raise a big Cotton crop pnee 1 more, as they usually express it. based upon the production, of cotton. Business ' conditions generally j throughout the : country continue un favorable.

Sheep and cattle are- bringing "about 25 pee cent to 33 1-3 per cent of what they brought . two years ; ago, and there is little demand even at these sacrifice,' prices. I believe that one of the. main factors in the continued prosperity- and development of this section, especially hvview of the ad vent of the-boll weeviL; is the pro duction of more tobacco 'of better grades. In order to do this there must be a complete . change , in the methods of marketing tobacco in this section.

I . earnestly urge upon yon and the other business men in this community to Undertake at once the rehabilitation of the to bacco market here upon an entirely different basis from that which has existed heretofore. Every farmer should be encouraged to plant some tobacco and to: make tobacco of a bet ter grade, as only the rood srrades will bring good prices. In this ' con nection I believe it very important for the business interests of the town of Lumberton to employ " one or more expert' tobacco men from other sec tions to help the farmers in this sec tion in their efforts to" properly -produce, cure and market their tobacco. I know of no one thing which in my opinion would contribute so largely to the maintenance of the . agricul tural nrosperity of this ' immediate section, under the new conditions that now confront us, as the one I have just mentioned." . - " WBT nE "BUSTED , Be Looked as wise as an owl, did he, . , , ..
