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."
