FORMER EDITOR SAYS BUSINESSMEN
AND FARMERS MUST WORK TOGETH
ER IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
Better Understanding Be
tween Two Groups Neces
sary for Better Business.
Noah Holloweil, former e iitor --i
the Hendersonville News and more
recently editor of a farm paper for
Western North Carolina is perhaps
the best informed writer and speaker
in this section on the question of the
relation of the farmer to the business
man and visa versa.
Recently Mr. Holloweil made a talk
on this question and in that talk he
brought out the reasons for the neces
sity of this mutual and better under
standing between the farmers and
business men. Mr. Holloweil speaks
from his personal knowledge of the
subject after many years of study
and work among the two groups. At
present he is Secretary' of Chamber
Ki Commerce at Hendersonville.
"The relation of the consumer, the
business man and the farmer is one
that embraces social, spiritual and
economic values, but these remarks
will be confined in the greater part
to the economic relation of these
great American groups. For the sake
of convenience we shall group the
farmers in one class and the con
sumers and business men in another.
Ihe consumer, unless he is a farmer,
is so closely allied to the interest of
the business man that he can be more
conveniently referred to as belonging
to the business group because his sup-i
port most likely comes from some
phase of business activity.
"Their relationship in concrete,
practical form, or in the language of
dollars and cents, perhaps may be
more clearly -understood bv reference
to a recent publication of the United I tni situation is a
States Bureau of Agricultural eeono- j- 'landing of the p
mics. This publication shows, today's
relative value of the farm dollar by
rassirg, discomforting and depressing
r.s they are, there is coming, an i
deru-e of this coming may be seen al
reaiy, a great benef.'t rich in social
soi.-itual and economic values. The
business man has come fully to rec
ognize the relation of his busir.es.
to that of the farmer. This is-videnc
tj by the activities ot organizations
fostered bv business men. Chambers
of commerce, merchants, associations
other service clubs and newspapers
are becoming very active in the inter
est of the farming communities
about them. The business man has be
come aroused to the importance of
working with the farmer and the
farmer is rapidly coming into the
ic-alization that there is a common
ground on which he and the business
man can meet and cooperate more
closely to their mtuual advantage.
"Perhaps the average business man
has not been moved until recently to
closer working relations with the
farmers, but it has been by observa
tion that he has been willing to co
operate when the possibility of mu
tual advantage was pointed out to
him. The main obstacle in the w
of closer working relations has been
that of lack of understanding of the
relationship of these groups.
"The farmers have not been suffi
ciently organized to take the mes
sage of their problems and burdens
.......
in concrete and intelligible form to
the business men. This has left the
Matter in a position where they could
not deal with the farmers collectively
and therefore it was impractical to
dea! with them indivually in the ef
fort to promote the interests of ag
riculture generally.
"The greatest need in ovcicor-ing
clearer under -iblems
of each
greater progress peace, happiness and
prosperity alike for the farmer and
the business man.

"It would be desirable if prices for
machinery and other commodities
could be maintained at a price level
fixed according to the price paid for
farm products but this is impossi
ble," says Mr. Weaver. "True it is
that farm products prices have some
effect on the wages paid to manu
facture farm machinery but such ef
fects are always slow. Wholesale
prices are slow in affecting retail
prices and retail prices are slow in
affecting wages."
-Mr. Weaver finds that less than
live cents of every dollar received I
for farm products was spent for new I
farm equipment during the years be
tween 1924 and 1930. Included in this
five cents were almost every kind

20 cents for automobiles; 20 cents

Additional nroof that farm machin

machines are imported despite tne
fact that no tariff protects the man

A number of letters have been re

as he has to those desiring further
information on the subject.
