STORY DENIED ] BY THE FIRM Bowles and Bass Are Solely I Responsible For the Peoples J. R. Bowles found a story icoing the rounds to the effect that .Howies i & Bass are not the real lessees and ? managers of the Peop'es Brick Ware- 1 house, which is now open for the sale i of leaf tobacco in Conway on the aue- I tion or independent plan. 1 The details of thrt story were that the Peoples would be run by A. C. i Thompson. 1 The firm of Bowles & Bass ran a 1 large advertisement stating; that they A have leased this warehouse an<l that ^ they, only, are in char.ire of it and ore running1 it this year in their own way | and withouu the dictation or advise of j | anybody. j1 The warehouse belongs to A. C. 4 Thompson but last year he leased it j for the term of five years to the Cooperative Marketing* Association. It was operated and kept open last year by i1 the association under their five year^ )ease. It turned out that the association did not need the warehouse in or- > der to take care of its business here, as it had two other houses, the Farm- J ers and the Horry, these two are am- 1 .ply able to take care of all the tobacco 1 of the members in this section. So the association leased the house* to Bowles $- Bass for the remainder of ' the lease which they have in writing, j it is understood, and Bowles & Bass , expect to continue to operate the j house for three years after this pres- . ent seaaon. I The story was being told with evi- .1 dent intention to iniure the Conwav 1 Tobacco Market. This is the reason < "why Bowie's & Bass found it necessary < to advertise t^e truth throusrh the col- < limns of this naner. and it is the rea- s son why the Her ?ld is publishing the 1 facts as it understand'? them. The peo-11 pie should not he nt a Hi^ynntprre in I' the placing of their product for sale 1 on the Conway market. * li At first the story was looked upon ' as a mere idle report going- through the community as such things often do. Later it was seen that this false story as to the relation of the ware- ' house in tho tobacco trade this year, 1 was being put out with a sinister pur- 1 pose behind it. } SOME RULES FOR I AVOIDING FIRE i Ashes, whether inside or outside the house, should be placed in metal receptacles.

They announced this fact by ^ neans of a half page advertisement ? >egrinning in the last issue of the Hor- ^ y Herald.

FARMERS WILL LIVE AT HOME A recent issue of the Extension Farm News, published by the Agricultural .Extension Service of the State College of Agriculture and En i ii r? i?? a. gmeci IIIK, uuu me oiuie uepui imeut of Agriculture, carried an article under the following caption: "Farmers will Live at Home" 2,278 Tar Heels sign the pledge to carry out suggestions of the Extension Service. If you read this article what was your mental reaction thereto ? The thought that first came to my mind was to the effect that here is a movement which offers immense possibilities. If these nearly 3,000 farm families, unquestionably leaders in their communities, treat seriously the obligation signed, will not these safe farming demonstrations attract the attention of their neighbors, and will they not soon lead to the establishment of permanently stable conditions on many thousands of farms? If these things come about North Carolina will truly become a land of milk and honey. The Pledge I will raise enough corn and hay to carry me through 1924. I will raise enough meat to supply my family this year. I will have a twelve-months-in-the year garden. I will provide milk and butter for my family the whole >^ear through. I will keep an average of 30 hens on my farr throughout the year. . I will im; ove my orchard by setting out fruits, small fruits and berries. I will work for richer lands by planting legumes and other soil improving crops. I will enroll at least one of my children in club work. W.W/.VWAVAWA'AWiV. .. C.

This constructive program has met with favorable comment at home and abroad. In a recent issue The Norfolk Ledger Dispatch published tl>e outstanding features of the program and commented thereabout as follows: . "Many good, ideas as well as loads of good people come from North Carolina." "This is a program which will commend itself to the farmers of every state in the. union. It would be hard to improve upon." Dr. B. W. Kilgore, Director of Extension, has this to say in announcing the results of this "Live at Home" movement: "On February 22nd most of the white school teachers of the State, through the cooperation of the State Department of Education, were requested to hold a meeting at their >;choolhouse, at which blanks were distributed showing ten important things .which North Carolina farmers might do towards living at home. Only short notice was given the teachers to prepare for the meeting, but most.of the blanks were distributed, and though 2,278 farmers have agreed to carry out the suggestions of the Extension Service, it shows that North Carolina has made a start towards living at home. Of courss, many other farmers will take part ft the movement, .though we will have no official record of their work. Those farmers who faithfully perform seven of the ten things asked will be given an official "Certificate of Honor" signed by fv, ** riAVAtmAt* f U Q finnt*iTviAn^Anf /~v f I "II* VJW^l liv/l ^ Vll^ Kjupct IIIV^IIUUHW VI Education, and the Director of Extension. It is stated, these 2,278 farmers will be visited during the year by the county agents, who will advise with them about any problem confronting the farmers in carrying out the provisions of the pledge. Of these signing, 820 were from the Piedmont District, 489 from the northeastern section, 464 from the southeastern section, 398 from the central part of the State, and 107 from the mountains. In support of this Agricultural Department program, the writer would like to suggest the following business creed for banks and other interests which finance, and therefore become, in a large measure, responsible for our cropping system. The creed is strictly in harmony with the program, and its adoption and practice will hasten the coming of our day of great and permanent prosperity. The Creed 1. I believe that the future welfare of my state is, in a large measure, dependent upon agricultural prosperity: Therefore, it witl be my purpose to encourage those farmers with whom I have influence to do those things agriculturally which they WWVVNWMWAWUV^AVWi W.

I believe that soil fertility is \ fundamental; and knowing that the 1 Coastal Plain soils, generally speak- j ing are deficient in organic matter, I , will strongly advocate the improvement thereof by drainage, liming and by the planting of leguminous and nonleguminous cover crops; and by ( intelligent crop rotations. 3. I believe that every farm should < be self-sustaining: Therefore, I will , urge and encourage the growing of < food and feed for the family, for the ; work-stock and for all domestic animals on the farm, with a small surplus for a cash income. 4. I believe that no farming system is complete without livestock: Therefore, I will encourage and help those farmers worthy of credit to get more and better livestock, such as milk cows, hogs, sheep and poultry, in order that each farm shall have a well rounded system of agriculture and may have an income independent of the money crop or crops. 5. I believe that the scrub animal, .and the scrub field-seed should be discarded; therefore, I will encourage the use of better sires and better seed, for bigger profits. 6. I believe that no time should be wasted in making a safe, sane and well balanced farming program; therefore, I will use the intelligence and power with which God has enr dowed me to bring about, in due season, the realization of "The Fullness of Our Days," as expressed by that eloquent and gifted Georgian of a former generation, the Honorable Henry W. Grady: "WJien every farmer in the South shall eat bread from his own fields and meat from his own pastures and disturbed by no creditors, -and enslaved by no debt, shall sit amid his teaming erardens. and orchards, and .vineyards, and dairies, and barnyards, pitching his crops to his own wisdom and growing them in independence, making cotton his clean surplus, and selling it in his own time, and in his chosen market, and not at a master's bidding, getting his pay in cash and not.in a receipted mortgage that discharges his debt but does not restore his freedom, then shall be breakingthe fullness of our day."
