With the, soil rich with deposits of the river and with the $50,000 distribution of seeds and plarts by the Louisiana legislature, many planters al'e well on the road to recovery. The flood waters, which rove 40,-j 000 persons from their homes, sprea over thirteen parishes and caused a property loss estimated to exceed $10,000,000. Thc'levee sys-, tern, seriously damaged by the un precedented high water, now "is be ing patched lit a cost of several mil-, lion dollars.

The greatest thing we can do to raise the standard of public health, to increase the span of life and to cause our people to maintain the characteristics of I youth over longer periods, is to get ; them to use more, milk along with1 more green vegetables.

Cooperatwe system in Denmark and this country and paid thai out of ail the Cooperative systems in this country none of them had ever gone to the bad. From the statistics at Washington he said that there were now in operation in this country more than nine thousand of these systems. j He told his hearers not to be dis I heartened at the blunders that their ! Association had made in the past years as all of these systems had in the past similar experiences. He told them that the raisin growers made two utter failures but are now success ful,. He said that all great movements hail been started by visionaries but it took the business- man to put these ideas and visions into prae- . lie told those farmers present that unless they had an organization that would nut stand the scrutiny of the business world it would nevder .succeed. Cooperative marketing has passed the theoretical stage. lie tl'ci' proceeded to tell those parent the bad things about the present Peanut Exchange last year. no mm cr miiv iii'ii ltir I I ii'imi- marketinir. but it had em- - , barked on a gigantic peculation nd thereby lest out for he said when the association stored thd 800,000 bags of nuts it helped the other fellow out and not the grower. He refined to Mr. Birdsong as not a cleaner or a merchant and he said that all the directors weire hon est, upright men, who had just re ceived their -diploma in the Peanut had failed on the publicity end of the business. The growers had no machinery to tell the world of the organization and the consequence was that the morale of the organization Was dam agel. He refeiTcd to the criticism that had been made as to the matter of salaries. He said that the cleaners business was not a matte rof merchandise but simply a matter , of speculation.

Weather: Up until the last week,! the temperature averaged about; normal, with very little rainfall, The! drouth, of over five weeks duration,! was very hard on fall truck, and pastures, and planting of fall grains was prevented. However, the dry spell was good for harvesting hay and cotton, which is well advanced Rain has been abundant in central and western North Carolina during the last few days, with ht'avy showers in most parts of the eastern area, As much as two inches of rainfall has been reported in parts of the state. With most of the harvesting! done, these rains huvo donei more general good than harm, being es pecially good for late truck, corn,! pastures, etc. . Cotton: Cotton is turning out fairly well as a whole, notwithstand ing tho unfvorable growing condi tions. The dry weather caused shed ding and rapid opening of the bolls, which was advantageous for the pick ing of this crop. The boll weevil damage was greater than expected. Tobacco: The eastern counties have a short crop, both in weight and quality. Tho Piedmont section reports unusually good yields.- The Tohac.'o market is very active and the prices are about the same as a year ago fair. Truck: Late truck is general!1 good. Thc yield of sweet potatoes will not be equal to the average on account of the wet summer and dry fall. The white (irish) potato crop- is fair to good. The crop is abun-l dant this year, the price is corrc- spondingly low, being about 73 cent j ier tills!; eir ' ""' .. I Live-tick: the condition of cattle? and hogs is generally good.
