I. i ) Belief For Toe farmer. r It miiiii hm annarant ta nverv one who think about the matter that the present price of farm products are too low to be profitable to the farmer and healthful for the rest of the population. Inasmuch as the farmers constitute 85 to 40 per cent, of ye population of the country any condition that interferes with their buying power is a menace to the whole nation. The manufactu rer and the merchant depend large ly upon the agricultural class as an outlet for their trade. It is to their interest therefore that the farmer shall get a fair price for his crops There has been a considerable de cline in the prices of manufactured products, bat not nearly so much a has been the case with the products of the farm. Cotton that sold high as forty cents a pound has dropped down to around ten cents and tobacco that averaged in 1919 fifty-one and a half cents, in 1920 averaged twenty-one and a half cents Wheat, corn, oats and other farm products hsve declined In about the same proportion. ' .'. Manufactured products have gone down considerably it is true. You can buy a pair of $15 shoes now for $10, and those that were $10 are about 7 or t8 and so on. There has been a drop of about half in the prices of clothing and dry goods and some other articles of merchandise but they have not dropped like cot ton, corn and tobacco. . Skilled la bor has declined a little but not much. As a matter of fact the rail road man, the carpenter, plumber, bricklayer and so on is getting more itpdfly than he did during the war, because he pan ' live cheaper. He gets about the same pay as he did tften and buys his supplies for mich leaf whjch is equivalent to havwg his pay raised, y . " ' " ; .

The o))lpg place will be at the Usual polling plaoe io said district, which is the regular voting plaoe io Baileys township.. in the town of Bailey, North- Carolina W.

The farmer cannot ' con. troi the prices or his crops nor can the unskilled laborer regulate bis rate of pay. The interesting ques tion now i where shall the farmer turn for relief? The answer is that he muit depend mainly upon him sen and such cooperation as he can get from his neighbors., He must do Intensive farming; he must di versify his crops; he must raise more and better live stock and he must join the cooperative, marketing i sociation. ' By planting the best seed and using the best methods the farmer should try to get more from each acre that he cultivates. - By raising better hogs and cattle the fanner can increase his income with out much additional expense. B; joining the cooperative tobacco am cotton association he can help to get for himself and his fellow farmers prices for his products that will jus tify him in raising them. V In the meantime it is to the inter est of all whether they are farmers or not to do anything they can to help bring the great agricultural in dustry up to a profitable level. We are all tied up in the same bundle and no class can suffer long without other classes being disastrously af fected. Beaufort News.

Rocky Mount suffered another; se rious fire on Tuesday morning when a large storage warehouse belong ing to Messrs. W. S. and W. C. Vaughan and wherein "was stored many thousand pounds of tobacco belonging to Mr, T. S. McPearman, well-known' tobacconist of that city. Just how the fire originated appears to be a mystery however despite the fieroic efforts of the lo cal fire department within a very short time the building together with its contents was totally des troyed. The loss is estimated at ap proximately $100,000. ; The building and tobacco was partly covered by insurance. , i - The Graphic has been furnished wjth a detailed account of the work of the Nashville Civic ' League and a report of the funds that have been administered through this worthy organization for the past year or so.

The tobacco Association of the United States is sending out the fol lowing letter: The absolute importance of reduc ing the acreage of bright tobacco is becoming niore and more in evidence every dsy. ' ' " There is no demand whatever for low grades and will not be to any apprrciable extent until conditions in Central Europe become more sta bilized and their commercial and fi nancial situation very much improv ed, and there is nothing now to give any encouragement that this will take place anywhere in the near fa ture... As this chaotic conditions continues, the necessities of life will become more and more an essential to Europe and tobacco and cotton must wait. ' : : , There being two years' supply , of common tobacco now on hand will result in low grades of tobacco con tinuing to be way below tbe cost, of production, and the only salvation is to hsve a half crop planted, which will possibly make from ten to fif teen per cent more per acre than a full planting, with everv reason to believe that the result of this reduc tion In planting will be good to . fine tobacco, which is the only kind 1 that there is any chance of being in good demand.' Therefore every farmer should take this into serious conside ration and feel that the only way to have a reduction is fox everybody to reduce. . V tobacco Association of the U. S. CaMiitatt F Kayor.
