We 'are past the day of recommending that two blades of grass be grown until tlife one first grown is successfully mar keted. If the second blade is needed it will follow," says V. W^Lewis in an address recently delivered before the Craven County Farmets' Club. "Economic production and eflici ent marketing rather J+fan mass pro duction and indiscriminate handling of farm produce will determine if our farmers are to continue to suc ceed. We have recently been putting this into practice in many eastern Carolina counties by usging that farmers take the hogs and ]>oultry nowe on hand and market them to advantage. This has been done in several cooperative shipments. "These demonstrations have shown the possibilities of these various crops that so far have proved help ful sidelines. Both of these projects will grow to large proportions dur ing the next few years ? one limiiing factor for Eastern Carolina-^the ex tent to which the growers will pro duce teed. ' ' <5* '"> , \ ? Mr. Lewis stated that farmers' clubs over the State could well act as agencies for determining / the money crops to be grown in cert a1 v. s6f'tioh?, to help cornet economic ills in production and to sponsor the marketing of farm products. "Cjood farming practice," he said, "leads successful farmers to nui, at tempt too many monev^rop' but i?? limit othese say, to three? two majt.-i crops and one smaller one ? and 4 Ik t such farmers will become more e! ficient and will more nearly succeed 'with theui."

BUILDING AND LOAN IN CREASES 30 PER CENT IN STATE LAST YEAR ') Wilmington, Aug. 14. ? A healthy and satisfying condition, considered from tlie standpoint of citizenship in its border aspccts, is reflected in the report made to the National Asso ciation of local Building and Loan Associations, just held in Cleveland, by George E. Wootten of Hickory, E. T. Taylor and L. W. Moore of Wilmington, X. C., representing North Carolina Building and Loan League at this convention which re ports discloses assets of about 240 Associations in North Carolina of $57,930, '574. 00 and representing a gain in a single year of$l 3, 571, 540.00 or 30 per cent over the previous year. The annual report of the Secretary of the National Building and Loan Association League, also made pub lic at Cleveland, showed that tlie total assets of the 10,774 Building md Loan Associations in the United States reached the vast sum of $3, 940, 030, 880, 00.lt was further brought out that the Building and Loan cause last year aided more than 360,000 families to 'finance their homes. - _ . > . i a* .......orth Carolina showing' during the last year a most gratifying in crease. The increase in Building and Loan Associations la;:t year wa. greater than the total assess of all Associations in North Carolina just i0 years ago, making a 30 per cent > increase over last year. i North Carolina Build ng and Loan Associations have developed not by chance but genuine service to their communities. Any agency which aids the 'Masses of people to own their >wn homes deserves a full measure of success and rlj!ri|ld be frilly sup porte<l, for it thereby aids in up-, building the State and in raising the general level of society, and the Building and Loan Associations of Wrth Carolina are ^assuming their re-.il part in the development of the State.;| ,4 * REVIVAL ; ) ? By Ifev( O. J. | .tones It moans :i living sixain or a re ? ev.al of life. We seek and realize revivals in :> 1 1 fines of activity, h?:t to] ;he writer tlrn^ \v< rd has a religions ' j-igailicance. By ii revival I under, . tand .1 revival <>T religion. Tliat is, ! think it meaii-; becoming more re ligions, srelt in?*r ( ? liold/o1' religi; us principles and experiences mere vi tally. v ? ' y That is need very frequently. 1 think it is particularly needed now. There has been a perceptible lessen in- of interest in institutional {'hri.tianity. TJiat interest needs to !>.? revived. A; religious revival is in tended to quicken that interest. . The revival is not the channel through which the church is to do its work. It is rather an endeavor to ,:>t the church prepared and ready to do I lie work. A revival is of tho church. It is a 'requiekening of tin experience of Christian people. And that 'is the great need. Hap pilv the mind of the Southerner is ;)jkmi to the evangelistic message. But very frequently the ardor of a new found faitll is hr.pcleusly chilled in the fellowsliip ( ?) of an unrevived church. 1 think the outlook would be ??ansiderably. brighter if the chuic's i )lk.-. would got a better hold ot the r religion and work at it throughout the vcar, and not depend on a spurt in a special meeting. The great need for a revival is .just this need of rousing a listless church from its indifference and putting zeal into it. A church so revived may then be depended upon to attend to the work of or ganized religion. The increase of denominational numbers is never a worthy aim in a revival. A revival is not just to in crease the membership of the church, but its vajue is in getting the church ready to promote the kingdom. A denomination is never an end, but always a meansT' The success oi a revival can never be counted in the number of members it wins to the church, but only in the amount of spiritual experience and growth it occasions. Every saved ]>crs< n ought to join the church but any re vival that is entcrprised merely for the purpose of getting members is a failure to be-in with. r o KILLS LARSE RATTLER IN ANDREWS Andrews, Aug. 5.?
