This year was no exception, and press and radio have carried to our 130.00Q 000 people comment on the message of President Roose velt Any study of the address and any analysis of the comment that has followed, reveals clearly that the President’s message ciught the tempo of the times It was a message of hope It was a well-phrased appeal to individual patriotism.

In the first place I wish to say that I consider the Farm-Credit Ad ministration as It is si present set up, 1)ie major accomplishment of the present National Government To my mind It is the corner stone ii|son which American agriculture can build its own independence The Production Credit Association i' l port of this plan by the use of which our farmers can absolutely own and operate their own finan cial institution. through which they can borrow funds for produc ing their crops at a lower rate of interest than was ever dreamed of. The pier. I' so laid that as the As sociation grows It will eventually reach the point where you will own arri control it and judging from the progress made during the first three years of its operation this time is not fai off. It has been my nlcAsure to serve you during these l c a c I t c 1 1 c 1 three years as Secretary-Tree surer v and Genera!

You have elected to govfrn your 1 Association a strong board of di rectors from the beginning and at ' present there is no institution in the vicinity which has a more cap able set of men in charge. Having given three of the best years of my 1 life to the Goldsboro Production i Credit Association I am. therefore, I intensely ambitious for its contin- 1 lied growth and usefulness 1 I was bom in Wayne County, as was also my father, my grandfath- 1 er and his father, and all of them ' i sleep beneath it* sod today So you 1 are blood of rry blood and bone of < my bone and I say to you honest- ( ly that during the ten years I have < recently gone in and out among 1 you I have never brought you a ' proposition I did not honestly be- < lieve was for your best Interest*.
