for this work is absurd, when they
get paid by the day or job. The
county commissioners usually reckon
this work in adjusting pay. It is all
required as one job, and paid for as
such.
That the listers object to this is
natural. Most people prefer to do less
for mere. Public pay should warrant
doing a maximum service for, the time
paid.
The ultimate value rather than the
immediate inconvenience aim.
Rarely do farmers object to report
ing thejr crops if requested in a pleas
ant manner. The purposes are simple
and should be simply explained.
Here ?,"e tie principal proven pur
poses: .
each year, it has been proven that l' .
farmers do take more interest iu crop
reports. Thus they have unconscious
ly built up a better knowledge of
what they really have. (Inquiry of
farmers in adjoining states prove. this):
6. The Educational Department now
includes the yearly results of the
Farm Census in their rural high
school studies.
7. The Federal Department of Agri
culture, accepts the North Carolina
Farm Census as standard.
8. This is the only dependable means
for providing' yearly county farm
data. These county facts are the
envy of all states' not having them.
9. It is no longer thought of as be
ing collected for speculative and tax

value is well proven.

Bank of Franklin Fails
To Opens Doors Tues.
On , Tuesday morning the 16th The
Bank of Franklin failed to open.
While coming as a shock and dis
appointment to many, it was an event
that had been somewhat feared for
some time in a general way.
' The ' Press learns from several of
the county officials that the county
funds, a sum of about $20,000, is pro-.
tected by bonds and that there is no
anxiety on the part of them that
schools and other county business will
not go on as usual. The state bank
ing department will have a represen
tative here in a few; days to take
charge of the affairs of the bank.
Until then Franklin is without banking
facilities, as the Citizens Bank had
only recently merged with the Bank
of Franklin. A statement from the
banking officials is published in , an
other column and may be regarded
as the official status of the bank
for the time being.
are to show trends' of production.
(This prevents unscrupulous private
agencies from issuing biased reports).
2. The county agricultural leaders
may . have current guidance in their
advice, teaching and plannings. Thus
individual farmers receive an indirect
but more valuable service.
3. The farm leaders are provided
with alphabetical and classified lists
of active farmers by townships. Thus
is provided a means of reaching their
farmers in an impartial way with a
maximum service. Such lists are con
fidential and not available except for
local benefits of farmers).
4. A great weakness of our farm
situation is the lack of records and
interest in such constructive bases for
correcting faulty programs. Farming
is now the only industry working un
der such obsolete methods.
k 5. By reporting their crop acreages
Summary: North Carolina farmers
are in distress. They don't know
where to turn. They have no records
to guide their future planning. 'The
Department of Agriculture helps them
through the Dasic Farm Census
formation. It is indispensable.
