P. Parker as a representative of the North Carolina Cotton Association Mr; Parker, after incomplete reports were heard from the townships repre sented, spoka as follows: "The South is face to face, with a financial crisis such as it has not fac ed since the Civil War the , intelli gent co-operation of business interest of all degrees is necessary "to tide us over this era. and to measure to this responsibility is the duty of every cit izen. Agriculture is the basis of all prosperity and why should the farmer beg a pitance for the emolumentsbf his labor when nature has most favor ed him of all. Poor business manage ment, overcr oping, lack of understand ing are the factors which constitute the mill stone around the neck of the agricultural interests of the fair Southland. The movement for "de creased acreage and the policy to hold for thirty cents is a progressive step by the farmers of the South and every man is expected to rally support tc this cause which will turn the price of the staples upward." Continuing, he showed that "There was more cotton in the United States than ever before, that the brokers and mills were not buying and that the farmers of the state were holding 500,0.00 bales. The only way out of this quagmire is the adoption of a safe and sane method of farming by raising all foods and feeds needed upon the farm and to cut the acreage. The whole world needs cotton, and it is the concern of the farmers of this. Southland to organize and fight fora fair price." x Figures produced by the speaker showed that in 1910, $1,131,461 was expended without the bounds of War ren county for foods and feeds which could be raised here. This policy, he scored, was the poorest kind of man agement for the food and feed people were organized and dictated their prices while the southern farmer could not regulate the price of cotton. He scored the truth, now gaining ac quaintance over Dixie, that the live-at-home policy is the best and only (Continued On Fourth Page) mm JRRENTONTn. C, TtJE ; COURTNEK K.

COUNTY AGENT BASON HAS DATA FOR FARMERS USE Bulletin In His Hands; Urges Planting of Soy Beans By Far mers of This Section; Asks-To Let Hih Hear From You Now. The County Agent is in receipt of a, bulletin entitled: "Where Good Seed of Recommended Variety May Be Ob tained." Farmers in line for good eeds should call at the County Agent's office and get one of these bulletins.1 This bulletin carries a very long list of farmers who have soy beans for sale. In this connection, I want to urge; farmers of the county to plant some soy beans this year. When we con- sider that they are equal in feeding; value, pound for pound, to wheat bram and contain about five times asv much! protein as ii contained in timothy hay ... i . . j i we can better understand wny tney; are economical as a hay crog. If you need hay, then why not give the soy beans, which is an excellent hay crop and which is well adopted to our soil a trial? As a feed for hogs the soy bean is, unsurpassed when supplemented with corn or other feeds high in carbonhy-, drates. Besides furnishing food, fori the liogs the soy bean being a legume draws nitrogen from the air and ther by increases' the fertility , of the soil This crop is an easy one to grow and. deserves the' consideration of every; farmer in the county. However, there is one precaution that should be taken ; in growing soy beans, and that is good preparation of' the soil- Good prepa ration of the soil is - of cardinal r im portance with soy beans;, otherwise, weeds ? are; likely to choke - out the young -plants. The young plants of soy beans are unable -to push their, way through a , hard crust ; . so to 'insure a good start,', the seeds should be lightly covered with loose -mellow - soil. J.'

In this connection the. following facts, compiled from the " Tinis Dis patch are of much interest: v The centenary has several .different phases considered as f a great national movement. Its first objective i to in crease the prayer life of the church, and, by" deepening and intensifying the""spiritual life, to bringthe-church back to the evangelical spirit and at titude as the only hope of the world. Second, to enlist men and women for service, and thus broaden "the vision of people to the world's needs. Third,' the- consecration of material possessions,- emphasizing ' the idea of stev -: srdship of what has been intrusted and bringing people to see that as stewards they1 should i render tithes of i their possessions for the glory of God and for the spread of His kingdom cr. earth. ' . There are 6,000,000 Methodists in America, besides those in -, Canada, itsJ is stated authoratively by the leading; Methodists. One object of the move ment is to have at least v 1,000,000 tithers in America. ' Wealth of Southern Church The actual wealth of the Southern Methodist Church is $5,365,000,000 ; with an annual income of $1,073,000- 000. In the United States the wealth per capita of Methodists is $2,439, with an annual. income ' of $488 per capita. Statisticians have compiled figures showing that the membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church is giving today but one-half of one per cent of material possessions, and only ; one fifteenth if its i tithes, which should be 10 per cent. ; ' V ! In : reply to- the pertinent question : "What are you going to do with the $35,000,000 V the southern Methodist Church makes the, following appor tionment: , To mountain people and negroes, in dustrial reenters and neglected inhabi tants of larger cities in the South, $2, 850,000; for building churches and in stitutional plants in -foreign lands and missionary institutions at home, $2, 140,000; for a more adequate supply for home missionary fields, $2,500,000; for the 'extension of missionary activ ities in foreign fields, $7,780,000. - The allottment for women's work in foreign landsis $3,000,000; for Wesley houses and '. institutional work' in the United States? $1,290,000; to aid in re building of churches in war zones and among stricken peoples, $5,350,000. which, leaves $10,000,000 to supple ment work already undertaken. The rest is extension work. SINGING CLASS AT NORLINA, 29 The Oxford -Orphanage Singing Class will give a concert in the School Auditorium; Norlina, N. C., at 8:30 o'clock p. . m., March 29th, .1919.

THE COPY m or SAYING A LITTLE FROM DAY TO DAY IS SURE WAY Thrift Necessary For Individual Happiness and National Pros perity is Point Stressed By Ec 'onomic Authorities. Do you want to be a capitalist ? . It's easy. This is the definition or howscapital is originally acquired, as framed by Hartley Withers in his au- thorative textbook "Poverty and relate. ''Capital is defined by economists as wealth set aside to be used in produc tion. A certain amount of it is nec essary before any industry can begin its work; because industry implies making or growing v something, and during the, process of making or grow ing, those who are at work have to be kept alive out of a store that Ijas been set aside beforehand to that end. Pro fessor Walker's well-known example is that of a member of a savage tribe living precariously on fish caught from the rocks which jut into the sea, which lays up: a store of dry fish, and keep ing itself alive thereon, akes him self a canoe, and thereafter can paddle in it out of the banks which lie two or three miles from shore, where in one day he can get as much fish as he could catch from off the rocks in a week." - - "His store of dried - fi'sh was- his capital, which he reserved from con sumption and kept to live on while making his canoe. Having done so, he has put his capital into a canoe and can let it out to his neighbors, taking payment from them in the form - of part of their catch, on which he can live, while, he himself builds more ca noes andsefis them in exchange for labor of the rest of the tribe. The point at which he left off being a mere hand-to-mouth worker and consumer and became a capitalist, was, when, in stead of eating all the fish he caught, he saved some and dried them so that he might be kept alive while he car ried out his canoe building venture. At every step of its progress, says Walker again, capital follows on law. It arises solely out of saving.". Every man, woman and child can lay aside a part of the "proceeds of his labor, beyond what is necessary for his present maintenance, and thus start on the road to capital. The safest and soundest, way - of putting aside your "dried fish" today lies in the purchase of War Savings Stamps. Even the smallest sums can be put into Thrift 'stamps which grow into War Savings Stamps. Capital arises from thrift, and so thrift means; future happiness. The New Salvage iWorb of Red Cross Through seven "depots, in northern France and Belgium the American Red Cross is now conducting its task of distributing clothing to the desti tute refugees of those countries. The work is growing and during the last week of March there will be a nation wide collection of used clothing, shoes and blankets to meet the imperative needs of the refugees in Allied coun tries. Cable reports to the National Head quarters of the' Red Cross show that distribution depots are in operation at Lille, Amiens, Laon, Mazferes and Verdun, 'in France, and at Adinkerke and Bruges, Belgium. Refugee gar ments shipped during January to these depots totalled1 229,060 separate ar ticles: Some of the largest items were 23,000 . men's shirts, 22,500 children's petticoats,- 44,000 chemises and 16,000 blouses. In addition to the work at the seven ' distributing depots : . 8,600 garments were given to the needj in Paris during the month. Every survey that has been made in Europe shows that the lack of clothing- is one of the most serious problems faced by the population struggling with reconstruction. To help them, the American people will be asked to donate a minimum of ten 'thousand tons of cast-off garments. Ivli! 11 IfllUlJE) xJll
