PCA Association Collections Good Returning from Columbia where he attended a meeting of the presidents and other officials of the production credit associ ations of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, Paul J. Vestal, president of the Wilkesboro Production Credit Association says that reports at the meeting indicated that the officials were expecting 100 per cent collections in the tour states of this district this fail. “It T'as brought out at the meeting,” said .Mr. Vestal “that the collections from the tobacco belts of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia were good, many farmers having paid up their obligations to the associ ations with the proceeds from their tobacco alone. It is believ ed that the prevailing prices for cotton and tobacco will enable every farmer - borrower whose loan was secured by those two crops to pay their loans prompt ly in full. “The collections this fall from those four states have already mounted to over $1,600,000, in dicating a genuine desire on the part of the farmer-borrowers to wipe out their obligations as quickly a.s possible in order to protect their credit standing, save themselves interest charges and protect the value of their stock. “Mr. S. M. Garwood, produc tion credit commissioner of the Farm Credit Administration at Washington, impressed upon ns the fact that our first duty is to nrotect the Class B stock in the production credit associations— the stock held by the farmer- borrowers. He said it would ob viously be unfair to the farmer who paid his loan in full to have his stock impaired by permitting some other farmer-borrower to evade bis obligations. The fact that proauctlon cred it associations do not loan gov ernment money was stressed by Mr. Garwood. The Federal Inter mediate Credit Bank which dis counts the paper of these associ ations gets Its funds by selling debentures to the investing pub lic. Farmers borrowing through production credit associations are dependent on the market- In the account of a party giv en in honor of Miss Margaret Hendren, which appeared in Monday’s paper, It stated that she was a daughter of Mrs. Nell Hendren. She is a daughter of R. L. and Mrs. Nell "Hendren.

Mr. Garwood said. “The entire production credit system is established, Mr. Gar wood further brought out, with the Idea of making the low-cost credit of these financial centers, long available to other indus tries, available to farmers, and stockmen throughout the coun try through their own collective action. “If the production credit as sociations are to be successful, Mr. Garwood told us. "and to continue to meet farmers’ needs, the associations must continue to be run on a purely business basis that will insure the repayment of loans by borrowers and the ef ficient management of the asso- clati(3n. “Mr. Ernest Graham, the pres ident of the Production Credit Corporation of Columbia, also told us that he expected 100 per cent collections and Insisted that the associations must be run on strictly business principles.” “Farmers may file their appli cations at any time for loans on winter planted crops with the Secretary-Treasurer at the Asso ciation office.

Dr, H. G. Duncan, of Boulder, Colorado, native of Wilkes, who has become nationally known as a writer and educator, and who has traveled throughout the entire nation, writes The Journal-Patriot the following letter regarding hie native State: I was very much impressed! with your editorial, “Advertising Our State,” in “The Journal-Patriot” of September 6. It has long been my conviction that North Carolina has much more to offer in way of .scenic interest than out-of-state people are aware and that the na tives of the state are not awake to tourist possibilities. As you indicated, Pike’s Peak is famous not for its priority in height (there are 17 peaks in Colorado that are higher), but because it has had a Colorado Springs to advertise it, and) a private company to encour age tourists to use the toll-trip drive. On the other hand. Mount Evans, which we climbed the other Sunday, is hardly known outside the .state. Yet it has an altitude of’l4,259 feet and is 149 feet high, er than Pike’s Peak. The top of Mount Evans is reached by a free roai the highest automobile road in the United States. To he sure, North Carolina’s peaks are not so high as those of Colorado, but they rise from a low base, whereas Mt. Evans and, Pike’s rise from an ele vated plain which is itself over a mile high. What the Appalachians lack in barren majestic grandeur, they possess in forest-clad slopes, shady dells, and luxuriant under growth. Nor were comparisons less favor able on our recent 4,056-mile tour of the Rocky Mountain region— my eighth time across them. In fact the almost impassable nation al highway in some sections and the mile.s of desert waste caused us to designate a portion of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, eastern Washington, Nevada, and Utah as the land both God and the politi cians forgot. It is our conviction that a number of people from Wilke.s and adjoining counties, who sought their fortunes in these states, left a’statie of greater op portunities. Yet it must be admitted that our trip rr'vealed to us many beau ties of nature not found elsewhere. Mrs. Duncan an(i I left Boulder, Colcrado, and drove across barren Wyoming through the famous Jackson Hole country to Jackson the first day—a distance of 634 miles. The ndxt day we entered Yellowstone by the southern ent rance end passed through the Te. ton forest, flanked by the mighty Teton mountains. Boiling springs, geysers, lakes, water-falls, and roaring mountains greeted us and impressed us in a way never to be forgotten. Leaving Yellowstone we went to Glacier National Park in northern Montana and Canada. Driving over the famous Logan Pass we viewed glaciers and snow capped mountains, the like of which we had never before beheld. Pass ing on across Idaho into northern Washington, we visited Mrs. Dun can’s uncle. While there we made a trip into British Columbia, Cana da. Leaving northern Washington we came through Yakima and Yakima valley where a number of Wilkes people live. As we passed through Washington, snow-capped Mount Ranier loomed up in the west and Mount Hood in the south. Crossing over in Oregon we took the noted Columbia River down to Portland. Many waterfalls have we seen, but none so beautiful as these. Gross ing Oregon we passed through miles and miles of lava beds and caves where not a thing g;rows, al though volcanic action ceased hun dreds of years ago. Next we visited Crater Lake, a body of water some j six miles Ing and 2.000 feet deep, j which occupies the crater of anj extinct volcano. Leaving Oregon we passed down into northern Cali-1 fomia and viewed) Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen, the only active volcano in the United States. Wej then made our way to Lake Tahoe on the CalifomJa-Nevada line, and! continued through Nevada and Utah. The Great Salt desert in Utah reminds one of a vast stretch of glistening snow, the Mormon temple block of a hot house of rare flowers. On our way back jto Boulder, we visited Rocky Moun tain National park, for the second time, arriving this time just as the sun was sinking behind rugged, iee-clad mountains. Now, I feel somewhat qualified to pass judgment on the relative merits of my native state.
