M by private capital under the terras of the Federal Housing Admin ytrction's Insured Mortgage System. The dividing; line separates
-th two sections of the development. In the foreground is Colonial Village extension, which was added to the original operation (in the
. y twckground) due to the housing demand of the area.

price.
The Times all these years has been
preaching living at home and board
ing at the same place. It has point
ed out that regardless of how much
money a farmer may have, if he is
compelled to pay it all out for a liv
ing he has profited nothing. It has
tried to show our farmers how it
will, pay in every way. to first pro
vide for their living and then t
plant tobacco and cotton in a rea
sonable way in order not to break
down the price, for if more of any
crop is raised than can be absorbed
or consumed the price of that crop
will be reduced in -value.
The Times has tried to impress the
fact that if a farmer raised his liv
ing he automatically reduced his to
bacco and cotton crop for the very
good reason that sufficient time, de
voted to his hogs, cows and other
stock on the place, together with food
crops for man and beast will take
sufficient time away from the cotton
and-tobacco crops as to force a re
duction in his money crops, for if he
tries to take on more than he can
properly care for he will spoil all
and make nothing. In other words
the entire crop will lose by reason of
not receiving the attention it re
quires, and when it requires the at
tention necessary to brinsr a fair
yield.
: If all the farmers of this section
will follow this rule, then thev will
make their living, which will pre
vent the necessity for spending all
their money crop to secure a living,
and they will have nearly all .their
money crop left to put to the bank,
invests in land, , or - other-, properties
which; will bring . , them an income.
The tnoney, which has been "going
away; to buy food, automobiles and
other ' things ,? that rare not made or
raised here, has of course drained
our section of Jts substance and pre
vented us from creatlnir . 1 innrie ini
8ikctpre,that will enable all of our
farmers, bankers, and business men
of all kinds to collect sufficient capi
tal to provide for the needs of the
community.
A tremendous responsibility rests
on the farmers of Eastern North
Carolina, since practically all of us
are dependent on the farmers, for
agriculture is 95 per cent of all we
have on which to subsist, and unless
our farmers take care of us by pru
dent management, which guarantees
a financial surplus in our communi
ties in Eastern North Carolina, we
will have nothing left over to carry
on with after we have sent our mo
ney away to buy the things we can
not make or create in this section."
