THE SUCCESS OF THE 5-10 YEAR FARM PROGRAM FOR WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA DEPENDS UPON COOPERATION The 5-10 year farm program which has been launched here in Western North Caro lina is not a new idea. This same program has been tried in many different sections of the country, and in every instance where coopera tion among those participating put their whole heart and soul into the campaign it was suc cessful and profitable for all concerned. This program, as we Understand it, is another name for diversified farming, although this Western North Carolina plan is to solicit the aid and encouragement of the business men and consumer. By this time Haywood County should be thoroughly convinced that diversified farming is what has kept her "head and shoulders" above the troubled financial waters during the past two years. When other counties are on the verge of bankruptcy, Haywood county comes along with the statement that it is in better financial condition that at any time during the past four years. The reason that other coun ties were "hard up" did not make this possible for Haywood to boast such a statement. One of the main factors was because the farmers of Haywood county were determined to raise better crops and raise more and better cattle, and not only were they determined, but they did, in spite of the fact that prices for their products in 19,12 were lower than in 1930 but even at that, ' approximately S'273'.OOO was brought into Haywood County from the sale of cattle and tobacco alone in 1931. In order for this farm program to be suc cessful, it will be necessary for every farmer, merchant and other business men to lend a helping hand. One can't afford to depend on another to take his or her place. There is a particular place in this worthwhile program for everyone, and if you fail to do your part it will mean someone else will have to work twice as hard and accomplish only half as much. In a program like this one, some are in-i-lined to tfet discouraged if results don't begin to show within a -few. 'months after a program of this nature is launched. One month will not see 'this;, program completed, a year, from how will see very little done toward actual changes, although the organization should be practically perfect by that time , but at the end of five years provided the right effort is put forth, will see drastic changes financially and: otherwise, in these mountain counties. Mr. Osborne, county chairman, in talking to the Mountaineer, said that it was going to take an almost perfect organization to accom plish the purpose of the program. It is also going to take a considerable amount of money to put the plan over, but as we see it. it will be one of the best investments that farmers and business men can make at this time. Farming has long been recognized as the backbone of the nation's prosperity. When the farmer fails the nation fails. Now is the time to begin to put a new foundation under the na tion's economic situation. When the founda tion is of solid material then this nation's fi nancial building will be sure, and less apt to rock and topple over. When you are called on in the future to do your part, do it gladly, as best you can and be patient in waiting for results, they'll come in due time. If you re still keeping your New Year's resolutions, pat yourself on the back. You are probably in a class by yourself. Many counties here in Western North Caro lina would sar business was very good if they could only have the business Haywood county has. v MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION WILL FILL NEED IN COUNTY THAT HAS BE FORE BEEN NEGLECTED , Another step forward was made Monday when the pastors of the churches of Haywood County formed a ministerial association. The motive was for a closer association and better understanding among themselves for the carry ing on of church work. No community or county can expect to ac complish more through its material resources than it in return devotes to its spiritual chaiu nels. A community without proper religious fa cilities and leaders is usually a community that few progressive people live. A survey of the churches and the work they accomplish is a mirror in which strangers can always look and determine the lives and thoughts of the com munity. This is a great move on the part of the pastors. More can now be accomplished than ever before, although every church has its as sociational organizations, but the combined forces from all the churches will, without a doubt, accomplish more. READ ALL OF THIS OR NONE It is a gloomy moment in history. Not for for many years not in the lifetime of most men who read this paper has there been so much grave and deep apprehension; never has the future seemed so incalculable as at this time. In our own country there is universal commercial prostration and panic, and thous ands of our poorest fellow citizens are turned out against the approaching winter with out em ployment, and without the prospect of it. In France, the political caldron seethes and bubbles with uncertainty; Russia hangs, as usual, like a cloud, dark and silent upon the horizon of Europe; while all the energies, re sources and influences of the British Empire are sorely tired, and are yet to be tried more sorely, in coping with the vast and deadly Indian insurrection, and with its disturbed relations in China. It is a solemn moment, and no man can feel an indifference (which, happily, no man pre tends to feel) in the issue of events. Oi our troubles no man can see the end. They are, ibrtunately, as yet mainly commer cial; and if we are only to lose money, and by painful poverty to be taught wisdom- the wis dom of honor, of faith, of sympathy and of charity no man need seriously to despair. And yet the very haste to be rich, which is the oc casion of this wide-spread calamity, has also tended to destroy the moral forces with which we are resist and subdue the calamity. Good friends let our conduct prove that the call comes to we, who have large hearts, however narrow their homes may be; who have nothing but manhood, strong in its faith in God, to rely upon ; and whoever shows himself truly a God-fearing-'man now, by helping wherever and however he can, will be as blessed and be loved as a great light in darkness. Now comes the remarkable fact. What you have just read was not written yesterday, about the condition of today but is a verbatim reprint of an editorial which appeared in Har per's Weekly on October 10, 1857. July of that year was normal. September ..marked' the beginning of depression. This edi torial appeared in October. Seventeen months later, in March of 1859. business was back at normal again. "Of our own troubles no man can see the end." They said it in 1857, and it has been; said many times, before and since. Depressions have occurred in American business since the Revolutionary war, and every one has looked black, and seemed unending. Every one has been followed by recovery and prosperity.
