The Outlook for a Cannery FRANKLIN is being considered as a location for establishment of a cooperative cannery by the Tennessee Valley Authority, we have been inform ed by F. S. Sloan, county farm agent. Similar canneries already have been put in operation in several other Western North Carolina counties and, as a result, farmers of those counties have been, assured a market for their surplus truck, vege tables and fruit. Under the TVA plan, the cannery also is a mar keting center. Efforts first are made to sell pro duce at the best price it will bring on the market and only the surplus, for which no satisfactory sale can be found, is canned. Farmers are paid an advance price for their produce and also participate in any profits of the cooperative organization. Marketing developments of recent years have established beyond a doubt the necessity of some form of cooperation between small farmers if they are to receive the best prices for their crops and are to be assured of a market for their output. The sooner Macon county farmers band themselves together under the cooperative banner, the sooner will they achieve the profits to which their labors entitle them. And, needless to say, a cannery operated by experts, producing standardized prod ucts, will be of inimense value to the county as a whole. Unfortunately, Macon county farmers and busi ness men have had one sad experience in coopera tive marketing and canning; but it would be fool ish to allow this experience to dull our vision to the possibilities of agricultural and economic ad vancement which the cooperative plan affords. Co ops have succeeded and are still 'succeeding in many communities throughout the length and breadth of the land. Some cooperative groups have failed it is true ; but there have been enough instances of outstanding success to warrant the opinion that the failures have been the result of faulty management rather than clue to defects in the general coopera tive system. The TVA plan for cooperative marketing and canning is well worth careful study. The plan will be discussed in detail at a meeting in the court house at 1 :30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon of next week. It behooves every up-and-coming farm er in the county, and, too, every business man in Franklin who is interested in the agricultural wel fare of his community, to attend the meeting and get an understanding of the TVA plan. The TVA, we have been informed, is guided to a large degree in its program of aiding farmers to establish cooperative marketing associations and canneries by the local interest manifested. In oth er words, if a community is willing to do its part, The TVA is glad to help; but if the community is apathetic toward the program, the TVA is inclined to exert its efforts where they will be more ap preciated. The prospect of establishment of a co operative marketing Organization and cannery here may hinge upon the interest shown in the meeting to be held here .next Wednesday. It may be proved with much certainty, that God intends no man to live in this world without work ing; but it seems, no less evident that He intends every man to be happy in his work. It was writ ten : "In the sweat of thy brow," but it was never written : "In the breaking of thine heart." John Ruskin. He is not fk to live who is not fit to die, and he is not fit to die who does not know the joy and dutv of life.

SLAGLE, Sheriff D13 4tc ABSJ3 Abyssinian Danes in Churches In Abyssinia are strangely pre served many forgotten rites of the ancient Hebrews and the first Christians. After the Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon, it is said 12,000 Hebrews of the best families in Jerusalem settled in the land. The descendants of these people today form the aristocracy of Abyssinia and are Christian. On the other hand, another contingent of Hebrews came to Abyssinia af ter the destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem, and have remained faithful to the original Jewish re ligion. It is an interesting fact that the Abyssiniarts still dance in their churches,, as the Israelites did before the Ark. 8 Shopping Days UNTIL CHRISTMAS S&L 5 and II Cent Store FRANKLIN, N. C.
