Evening M Thambek of commerce news. By the Secretary. ' Some very encouraging information comes to this nljftrp f rnm varioqs sources in Raleigh. For instance, we ^earti 'that North Carolina stands higest in farm food supply, as it Jttojt-ces 7S.4 on its farms, while Virginia is next with a percentage of 72. Xorth'Carolma ranks fifth ia tots! crop values, *542,637,000 and twenty-third in livestock,-^87,0Q0,000, the total of which in agricultural production makes the state rank 1 twelfth. Of course, cotton and tobac- ' CO' are responsible for some of the ! large figures, and the shortage of < livestock, production" of corn," etc.. ' help to pull nowp the liigh rank, but ' at ine same time .are a forcible ob- i ject lesson of cur needs. J In Buncombe County where the ' percentage of white farmers is 96.8, ' in a section where it became a say- I ing that there never,has been any ' money in., farming and ne^er would 1 be, there has been formed an"^>rganizdtion called the Buncombe County ' Farmers' Federation which is laying 1 a substantial foundation fo?? agricpltural p^sperity. They are working upon the "Live at Home" idea, and finding p market near hone for their < surplus, growing out of diversified ' crop?. They believe, along with jothei counties of advanced ideas, that ' -high freight rales nr? an encouragement to home markets, and that good roads and motor trucks are things to be made use of, in lieu of railroads. What that county is doing Person County can do as well or better: It can very well afford to fall in line with the program, started by the Extension Service and favored by the Governor. This program, briefly i stated, favors the increased* production of <fom, hay, velvet beans, clover, rye, oats, etc., plenty of milk and butter for" the family, and fruits. It also urges home conveniences on the farm that will lessen the burden of housekeeping, as well as the enrollment of the children in various clubs. ~~?????? This is especially timely iri~View of1 I the fact that The Peoples Bank au-1 thorizes. the statement that it will jkid all farmer V?b*-s,un:l girls?;n County who wish to join Pip:, .Gaif or; Poultry Chihs to pet their star:, pro-' ideri their parents will give. the nsc-j ; essary cooperation.-' Other bank? in the state are- using this plan of en-: i courngine the children in. the country. and it has proved very suwce3ij: ft?L ; .. The Chamber of. Commerce will bej-frre pared -in a few clays to give the! i details of the plan to the public. j : The Chamber of Commerce also. [commend? most highly the progres-! : sive step arrd hope? it will be met) with hearty cooperation on th'1 part1 ; of the agricultural population. ? COMMENCEMENT OF OLIVE HILL HIGH SCHOOL j -7-O? " .
