The County Problem
The following statement from
R. W. Scott of Mebarie deserves,
in our opinion, the careful con
sideration of readers of this
newspaper:
The people are apt to overlook at
the coming June primary the selec
tion of a man to fill the most Impor
tant position. Agriculture Is our
most Important Industry?a great
majority of our people are engaged
in it and all the peopc are depend
ent and Interested in its success.
Our greatest problem today is the
"county problem"?how to make
better crops, get better prices and
better homes, schools and so on.
We stand fifth in the value ofl
crops, but after we produce this
wealth it largely goes to enrich oth
er states. This condition must be
changed and our people must prac
tice a system of farming that means
living at home and that will keep
the thousands of dollars here that
go to buy what we can and ought to
produce on our own farms.
We need at the head of the Agri
cultural Department able leadership
?a man of vision, of ability, and
above all a man who has himself set
the example and pointed the wny out
of the wilderness and can show how
to do It.
If the next commissioner is to
have the influence and leadership
that he ought to have he must have
the confidence of the farmers. He
must first be a success himself and
he must know agricultural condi
tions and problems of the various
sections of the State.
1 would like to believe that we
have such a farmer In the State and
1 would like, so to speak, see the
people go out to the farm and take
the next commissioner from behind
the plow handles. I want to see a
real live dirt farmer made Commis
sioner of Agriculture.
Mr. Latham, I believe, meets these
conditions. I have been on his farm
several times. He is a success, grows
crops of all kinds, raises live stock,
lives at home and practices a system
of farming that if more farmers of
the State would follow would, in a
few years, put North Carolina In the
very first rank of all the states. Mr.|
Latham is in the prime of life, full
of energy and enthusiasm, a business
man and farmer?a man who is plain
of speech and action, who says what
he thinks and does what he thinks
is right and best to be done, regard
less of consequences.
Mr. Latham bas also had sufficient
legislative experience, having served
his section in the State Senate. I
have had opportunity, being a mem
j ber of the Board of Agriculture, to
observe Mr. I.*tham'R work on the
board?(he having been a member
for 13 years). Hp understands well
I the needs of the department and he
! knows well the farm problems of the
j State. Community life and co-oper
atlon is an Important factor In rural
i development, mid Mr. Latham has
been very helpful In promoting all
i activities that would help and build
up his community.
Another 'thing that Impressed me
[ about Mr. Latham: He Is encourag
ing hit aon to atay on the farm by
making him a partner In hla bual
naea. I thought thla fine and I wlah
hla example along thla line would be
followed more than It la and that
the bora and glrla of our State would
be more Intereated In farm life. The
Department of Agriculture needa Juai
audi a man to ra-organlta It and
make' It more efficient. Hla leader
ablp and example would atlmulate
and encourage the farmera and give
greater confidence In the work of the
Department of Agriculture.
Dr. Brooke, an educator and
?cholar. haa been aelected to lead
State College Into greater uaafulneaa.
Dr. KIlKore haa been made dean ol
agriculture at the State College. The
of our State require the 8tat<
Collage. United mat? Oorerntm-nl
the Agricultural Department tc
e In their work, In order tc
it duplication.
W* need a man of practical farnr
experience aa Commlaaloner of Agrl
culture to oo-opermit with tha Col
lege Extension Service. With Dr.'
Brook*. Mr. Kllgore and Mr. Latham 1
we would have agricultural leader-]
ship that I feel sure would give the i
State the very best, and with such
leadership in time greatly change ag-l
ricultural conditions.
I know of no man that will comc ,
nearer meeting the needs of the sit
uation than Mr. Latham, and I am
asking the farmers and others Inter-I
ested in seeing the State go forward,:
to support Mr. Latham In the pri
mary, June 7, and get others to do
the same. R. W. SCOTT.

IXTKREHT (JKOWS IX MEETIKfO
KKKK WILL BAPTIST CHURCH
'?The Greatest Question In the
Bible" will be the subject tonight of
Evangelist J. C. Griffin who is con
ducting a meeting at the Free Will
Baptist Church here.
Mr. Griffin brought another strong
message to his congregation Thurs
day evening, his subject being "The
Reasonable God and the Unreason
able Man." taking as his text the
18th verse of the first chapter of Isa
iah, "Come now and let us reason to
igether with the Lord." The even
I geltst showed that God had aever
imposed an unreasonable thing upoi
,his followers; but rather that it was
| the unreasonableness of man that
has always evoked the wrath of God.
j"The Individual today." the speaker
'said, "who rufueee to reason with
iGod Is surely brtagtng the inevitable
'wrath of God upon himself." The
serviees are being well attended and
j Interest is growing In the Meeting.
(AGRICULTURAL MAP OF

Spreading the good news about
I the Carollnas Is the purpose of-a
j new agricultural map just Issued for
:general distribution by the State
jand City Bank & Trust Company, of
j Richmond, Va., copies of which have
l been received here. The map gives
acreages, live-stock census and prin
cipal Industries, (mining, trucking.
I fisheries, poultry, timber, etc.) for
every county in the State. The
bank announces that It will be glad
? to mail copies of the map without
, chargc to anyone asking for them.
In addition to the county statis
tics, the map carries several tables
showing state totals as to crop
acreages, production and crop val
ues. together with a sales chart
? which indicates when each of the
j principal crops is sold for market.
! All the figures, the bank states, are
' from official Government records.
j The maps are being mailed to a
I large number of banks,' mills and
factories, colleges and libraries,
'chambers of commerce and boards of

being to advertise the Carolinas as
leading agricultural, as well as in
