U many producers on th? farm should express thedr res thoughts, they would say that the man In the town had no higher pur pose than to hoy their products n* the lowest prleee and sell then1 something In returp a( the higher price. Unfortunately, there'Is somi has la of truth for the Indictment Taking the country as a whole th' products of the farm form the hasl of our wealth and control Interns tlonal exchange. In North Caroltnr agriculture Is the dominant Indue | try. and almost 10 per cent of th' people are still rural. This emphs sises the important relation of ag riculture to our proeperlty. Whcr | the farmer prospers, when be mske large crops and realises substantia I nst profits, the towna and cities nee I easarlly share largely ln this pros '| perlty. It could not be ^otherwise. Pertinent to this line of. though* Is an article which recently appear ed in the Baltimore Son, showinr that the business men of this grest Southern City aro coming to realise their true relstlonshlp to the men on the farm. I quote from this ar tlele one paragraph as follows: ? "One hundred representative . Baltimore business men and ex perts from the Agricultural De partment at Waahlngton gath ered at the Custom Hsssa yes terday afternoon with the ob ject of evolving plans to bring closer together the mercantile business interests of the city and the agricultural business Interests of tfte Maryland far mer." ?t this meeting there waa an In teresting discussion and a perma nent compilttee wag appointed to In vestigate and report a plan of prac tical cooperation between the far mers of Maryland and the business men of Baltimore. A movement was also Instituted to Increase the num ber of Cbunty Agents of tke Far mer s' Coopers 11 ve Demonstration Work, to the end that they might be provided for every county in Maryland. The committee was also directed to investigate and report a plan of cooperative marketing. 1 have taken the liberty of thrusting this subject upon the at tention ef the business man of Waehlngton, with' a view to suggest ing a larger dsgree of oooperatlon among the business men of this cky. Our business men did a very hsnd some thing severs! years ago In raising sbdut 11200 to assist In the employment of a County Demonstrs tlon Agent. This good work should be continued and our activity should .be extended into other lines of co operation. The proposition requires no srgument. The onlf question Is whether there eiists among a reas onable proportion of ottr business men a suAclsncy of clvls spirit to eooper?ts snd organise fo? promo tion of sgrloullural Industry In tbi-* County. Personally, I believe the disposition exists, and tlN* It Is only a question of organising It for ef-' fectlve action. Very reepectfully. JNO H.

Id ?pire of Uie many complaints and pro teats that have been made, our po lice officials apparently do not care to take the trouble to stop the au'o speeders at the west end of towu. Two or three accident? have already occurred. One old lady was abdly hurt last week. Others have had narrow escapes. In spitp of thi.i. however, it is very seldom that an officer is seen up here. Immediately after crossing the Atlantic Coa9t Line track?, eight automobiles out of every ten begin to increase their speed They tear up Second and Main streets at a I speed greater than that allowed by law, endangering the '.Ives of chil dren and adults who happen to he crossing the streets. It certainly would seem that some ?teP* .taut.*#* to rem*i*ahla matter. If the mayor and* board o' alderman would only Instruct 'an of ficer for about two hours every day, 1 believe that the question of speed ing would soon be settled. Very truly yours.
