As noted In Tuesday's Gazette Hon. W. P. G. Harding, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank, who was to have been the principal speaker here on Tuesday at the Stated meetini? of bankers, commercial secretaries and farmers, was prevented from coming on account of tbe press of important business. However, be sent a-letter to Secretary Roberts outlining his message and 'The Ga zette takes pleasure in reproducing it below, believing it well worth. thA time, and consideration of our lurm-ei-H'nnd business men. It follows' It was with keen regret that I felt obliged to telegraph you this morn ing that I could not go to Gastonia tonight in order to he present at the most interesting occasion in your city tomorrow. I had looked forward with much pleasure to the privilege of meeting and addressing; the mer chants, farmers and bankers of th Carolinas, and was particularly anx ious to avatl myself of the opportuni ty of pointing out to them the very great value, especially in times like the present, of the Federal Reserve System, which has enabled the coun try to withstand without the slight est financial tremor all of the shock and sensations that It has experienc ed during the past two yaars. many of which would doubtless, under old conditions, have been followed by se rious consequences Our prepared ness from a military and naval standpoint is now engrossing the at tention of Congress and of the Na tion, but I wish you would inform the audience which I expected to ad dress that, from a financial stand point, the country is already fullv prepared and is ready to meet any contingency that is likely to arise so that therexneed be no upeasines whatsoever on that score t had desired particularly to sav u few words to the farmers by way of urging them not to become nerv ous or alarmed because of an threatened temporary interference with ocean transportation. I wished to point out to them ths while in these fateful times, when it is beyond human power to forecast even the immediate future, we should remem ber that after all the only real wealtn comes from the soil. A character in Greek Mythology tK Antaeus, of whom It is said that he could not be overcome in wrestling, for' whenever he was brought to'hii knees he received renewed strength from Ills mother, earth, and was en bled thereby -to arise in his migni and overcome his udversarv. Througn out the world millions of men hav? been withdrawn from their or'dinarv avocations and are devoting them selves entirely to military duties. It seems to me it is clearly the duty of the farmers of the United States in t.he planting season fast approaching to prepare for the largest crops of all kinds that It is possible to pro duce. No farmer should devote hint self to a single crop alone, but h should diversify, with the idea or growing as far as possible on his own land, everything necessary tor the sustenance of his family and of his domestic animals Three years have elapsed since our fertilizers have contained an ade quate supply of potash, and under present conditions it isliardly proba ble that an excessive supply of the Youth's greatest staple crop, cotton, can be produced. Virginia. North and South Carolina. Georgia and Al abama are now great cotton manu facturing states, and their annual consumption of raw cotton f greater than that of England, and greater than that of New England and Can ada combined. If the farmers of the South will practice diversification they need have no fear as to the price of cotton. for any conditions which will maAe exports of v cotton impossible will likewise render im practicable exports of food staffs. It follows, therefore, that If the price of cotton should decline, the price of ceeals. grain and bay. will decliae also. A few weeks ago cotton w selling at J10O a bale and more. Tbe College of Agriculture of the Univer sity of Kansas pointed out at the time these prices were effective that while cotton had advanced in price it advanced merely in terms of gold, and it made an Interesting compari son as to its price In terms of other commodities. It estimated the pur chasing power of cotton in an ordi nary year and on the basis of $100 per bale, and It demonstrated statis tically that even at 1100 per bale the Southern cotton planter who had not planted in a manner to provide for his necessities in the may of food stuffs was in a sorry plight, for a bale of cotton will buy In an average year wffh cotton at from 150- to $60 per bale, 89 bushels potatoes at 70c. 750 pounds lard at 8c. 22 barrels of flour at $4.30. 37o pounds bacon at 16c. 6 tons of hay at J0 30 pair or shoes at $2, 720 yards cloth (cot ton) , 100 bushels .of corn at 60, and this at $100 a bale it wHI buy44 bn potatoes at $2.26.

C. Kirkpatrick and Others. I i Reported for 'The tiazette. I The farm demonstration agents arrived Monday night and Tuesday 'morning and installed, exhibits from each county in the exhibit hall kindly arranged for by the Gastonia Cham ber of Commerce.

Con sidering the crop year, ode will nave to go a long way to find a finer ar ray of corn than was to be seen nere. The other products exhibited were or good quality and well worth an one's time to study. The most inter esting feature of tbe entire exhibit was the county maps prepared uy the agents of their counties showing the location of the various activities of the agents. These maps brought out many interesting features of the work in a concise way that It would have been hard to have shown ui otherwise. To the agents and all wno heard It. the address or Mr. Bradford Knapp. of the I nited States Depart ment of Agriculture Tuesday arter oioon in the court house was the out standing feature of the week's im portant addresses and discussions. Mr. Knapp Is a man of nation-wide reputation bb a clear thinker and u doer of great things in the develop ment of the I'nlted States agricultur ally and otherwise. His lnterpreto tion of the conditions prevailing iu this country now and the important part that the business men and far mers are going to take in the future of our nation was well worth anj sacrifice made by his bearers in coat ing to Castonla to attend the series of conferences held in this city thl week. The ugents met Tuesday night To their first session. Mr. C. C. kirr Patrick of the International Harves ter Company gave a very Interest ins outline of plans followed by the workers of his company In organis ing communities into good working organizations lor the general im provement of the entire community. At this same session Mr. Bradford Knapp gave one of the most instruct ive lectures that it has been the pleas ure of the agents to hear In some time, lie took up in detail the work the county agent Is supposed to do and showed by clear-cut Illustrations how this work can best be accom plished. Wednesday morning the agents met at K :::o. Mr. Uan T. Gray, of the Animal Husbandry Division of the North Carolina Experiment Sta tion, gave a very instructive talk on hog raising under average farm con ditions. He went into detail con cerning the grazing and cropping By stem that should ie followed to get the best results. At lo o'clock the 2M' agents and about 2.

Work was given in Judging as feeders and as breeders At I::0 the agents and :!2 farm ers visited the Gastonia Dairy to study dairying under actual rarm conditions.

At the same time Mr. Allen G. Ol iver. Poultry Club agent, gave a lec ture and demonstration on farm poultry at the exhitrULhall. Quite a number of farmers anq farm women attended this meeting. Much inter est was shown in this work. Mr. Ol iver took up housing, feeding and the general care of the poultry on the farm. He also took up more or less in detail the points to be looked for In the Reds, Rocks, Wyandottes and White Leghorns He bad good individuals of each of these breeds there to illustrate these points. These birds were furnished by breeders of Gastonia. , Wednesday night Messrs. T. K. Browne and A. K. Robertson, toon up some phases of the club work in the State. Thursday was spent almost entire ly in hearing the reports or tne county agents and in the discussions on the most interesting work carried on by these agents. Diversified farm ing, introduction of livestock and community development are tne three .most important matters that these agents r are taking up. The progress that Is being made by all tne agents in these matters is exception ally good. At Thursday night's session tbe following resolutions were unani mously adopted: Be it Resolved: That the county agents of the Western District of North Carolina tender their hearty appreciation for the many courtesies shown to them while in tbe city of Gastonia.
