WEEKLY MARKET NOTES Raleigh, March 12,?Some shippers of seed Irish potatoes coming into North Carolina alive used a white tag on their sacks with a general statcment"lTbout< the potatoes being, of choice srain and apparently free from di>:?ase with no proper official signing the statement. The State Di vision of Markets calls attention to the fact that such a certification is worth nothing and growers should see i that their potatoes have Jt blue tagW the sack and that the certi ficate is signed by a State Inspector in t\fc State where the seed potatoes were grown. Without such protection, the grower is liable to be disappoiid ed in his results. ' In calling attention to this im portant matter, George Ross, Chief of the Division of Markets says, "Potatoes that have been certified to by some state or government agency bear a blue tag giving the name of the State in a conspicuous place. These blue tags are also signed by the certifying State officer and carry the guarantee that the potatoes have been inspected while they were growing in the field, and that they have been inspected again after har vesting and have been found to measure up to the rules and regula tions laid down by the State Certifi cation Board in that respective state. "Properly certified seed potatoes have established a nation-wide rep utation in that they generally pro duce good stands and a higher yield per acre than uncertified stock. Naturally with this reputation in ba^k of then?, certified seed potatoes sell at a higher price than uneerii fied or table stock. As some few dealers are imbued with the idea of making as much money as they can from their product that they have resorted to the method of .tagging their product as certified, whereas Continued on page five O ' ' SYLVA GRADED SCHOOL TO BE STANDARD The committee to raise money to standardize the Sylva Graded Schoo has been at work with good results' The spirit of cooperation has bee.

V> - V TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND WAITING TO COME TO WEST ERN NORTH CAROLINA The Southern Railway is authoritV for the statement, that in addition to the people who spend their va cation period in Western North Caro lina now, at least 25,000 more will Hock here the first summer there arc accommodations to care for them: and that is only the beginning. If accommodations can be arranged for and these people are informed - and after spending their/'"vacation here, return to their respective communi ties satisfied with the accommodations and treatment afforded them, each one can be counted on to act as an advertiser of this section of our State as a vacation resort. So, the number of regular Western Norfh Ca;\lma vacationists will increase each year in proportion to our abili ty and willingnegs to care for them. The situation at present may be likened to that of the farmer who knows he has a productive and con scquently valuable piece of land and allows it to lie fallow. By ignoring the possibiities of providing the right kind of vacation accommodations for the thousands who would come here from such cities as Cincinnati, New Orcalns, Molnphis, etc, the citizens, and speak ing mrrc particularly, - the farmers of Western North Carolina - are practically refusing to. accept the hundreds of thousands of dollars T' these vacationists would leave here each season. We speak specifically of the farm er, because it is in large measure his opportunity that is being lost. Thousands of people in the cities mentioned cannot afford to live in high priced hotels. Thousands more, particularly those with children, do not care for the life of the/summer ! hotel?, but choose the change to. life 1 on the farm with its quiet simplicity 1 and closeness to nature, - providing the farm h^use is equipped witVthosc simple conveniences to which the city dweller is accustomed and consid ? ers fundamental and indispensable to his comfort, and that the food is whole ome, of variety and well cook ed. ?? ) | Western North Carolina, Inc., with r j jieadqua iters in Asheyillc w^is organ ized to serve all the ]>eople of this section of our State. Its Executive 'Committee and officers are confident that in natural 'scenic beauty and in vigorating yet equable climate, it i> ^surpassed in the United States. One of its objectives is to acquaint the people, particularly those who are ftecustomed to take a regular summer or fall vacation, with the accessibili ty, charms and healthgiving attri butes 'of these western counties of our State, then to induce them to come here and by so doing, to pro vide an added source of income for the fanner who is progressive enough to realize what that increase in income will add to his well-bjeing and .'that of his family. There are thousands of such farm ers in Western North Carolina, men of vision and capacity, who arc will ing, and what- is . more important equipped and prepared to accept fj"om two to ten paying guests this summer. But they have no means of advertis ing the fact. They are,! as it were, cflt off from a source of supply that means added comfort and increas -d pxpspcets. That is where Western North Carolina, Inc., can and will function for them. Western North Carolina, Inc., is now engaged in compiling a list of farm houses in this section, in which summer board ers can be accommodated with prof it to the farmer and satisfaction to the guest. In compiling this list, Western North Carolina, Inc., must, have the assistance of the progressive' fanners, in every one of our twenty-1 five comities. That assistance will cost them exactly two cents - the price of ]>ostagc to mail a letter in forming Western North Carolina, Inc.,'of this desire to increase their income by accepting summer board-, ers. , Western North Carolina, Inc., will, in -,4urn, answ er the communication, setting forth the minimti standard that has been adopted for fanu boarding houses, - inquiring as to rate.;, location, etc. - and will then, if the reply be satisfactory, list the farm home and recommend it as a vacation lifiiiie to some of those twenty-live thousand |>eoplc who seek to come here. \ Sit down - now and write your let ter - directing it to - Western North Carolina, Inc., (> Government Street, Asheville, N. C.

Raleigh, Mar. 9.?The- 1325 Gen eral Assembly goes down in history as one which followed the Governor more -than any other in recent years. Other I ?jrislatux-cs have been in fluenced by Governors but scarcely to the exttmt that the one just ended has hocused around by Governor Mc T can. The 1921 "and 1923 General As semblies were led '.'up the hill" bv Governor Morrison and the 1925 body 1 was "led down the till," in the path of economy, by Governor McLean A*:?l a if v - /.<?, for the action r?f its pwdeces.oi in following Mor rison, tiie 4>res;>nl body went eVen t'ufttlpr .than anv. before it had gone ? O and gave to the Governor greater powers than any executive in North Carolina has ever had and enacted measures at his.J?idding which will revolutionize the *Administration of the State government. \ Governor McLean sponsored or en dorsed 23 measures which were pre sented to the Legislative. Most ol them tfere enacted into law as orig inally written, one or two* were slightly amended, but all of any im portance, except one, got through during the last'two days of the body and those which came up this week were expected to be put across be fore adjournment Tuesday night.. Chief among the Governor's rec ommendations were the creation of an executive budget system placing all departments and institutions on a budget basis and making the Gov ernor the head in fact of the State's financial jblicies; transferring the auto license bureau, atid the insurance department revenue collecting powers to the Rcvenvp department in order to co rdiiUi. "? rovoyifc collecting agencies of the State :iad to elimi nate unnecessary employes; creating a state department institution out of state prison hi'herto oj>erated as a private coiflK>raiioii; creating a State depart, icin 4n ivrvat'on to ta^*" over the fi>J.?. vf the economic and geological survey; appointing an official executioner to relieve the warden of State prison of that dntv ? deposit daily wit) the State Treas urer of all funds instead of monthly as heretofore so >s to obviate to an extent short tenn financing and ave interest; creat'on of a "pardon at torney to assist Governor in in vestigating clcmei.ey cases; an edu cational commissi "'i to investigate the educational s\ ;tem of the" State; a wage investigati !i commission to go into the salaries p.;;:! State employes, eliminate useles employes, bring salaries irir li"'' :th actual wor>c done and establish a standard aslarv scale: a bond is ue for road'; ant! '>1 '?ev" measures of more or less imp: rtance. The Governor also recommended a constitutional amendment creating a pardon connnssion but this was pnt off last Saturday until the next ses sion after some difficulty over its term arose, {' e; Governor saying >e would try I..* pardon attorney for the i? xt . ?<nrs. , v Other meast?: >. which had the Governor's? 'T! ,<y" were to lim:t the time in which checks issued bv the auditor would be paid by Treas urer ;to declaim transfer of claims against the State- void if made be frre actual adjustment and allowance of such claims had been made; to price all charitable state institutions on the same basis and requiring those iblc to do so to bear the expenses heir care; to create a Judicial 0yv fercnce to study methods of practise md procedure; to create an Advisory Commission to investigate and report on freight rate discrimination; to re duce cost of public printing and a number of proposals having to do with his program of economy in governmental affairs.
