THE CANNING FACTORY. t A Home Institution of Great Benefit n to the Farmer. To the Editor of the Observer. Bet:..- This new enterprise of Charlotte is ^ovr in its second year of operation, IT R and promises to be one of the leadR ing industries of the developing wave that the states of North and South Carolina are now experiencing. The Rgu . president of this new concern for sevRv era! years has been endeavoring to Bcfe ~ think out a plan that will give the cotSi*../.;. ton-growing farmer a crop that wil" r~r ;i? . get the cash that farmers in the past have looked to cotton for. In time past#there has been nothing I aa^v-: but the cotton crop that could be! counted a money crop. In the year rv:. 1921 Mr. Thomas interested enough . of* the farmers of Mecklenburg county gjo build a little plant. In the sumi? rucr of 1921 they run about two or two 1% ^ ahd a half months canning quite a lot ?11 of fruits and perishable vegetables, : and for which they found a ready Rr . market at a good price, thus selling all rc the product that they packed. To the' |fc ' present time there has been no kick B&v. whatever on the quality of the canned - product or the quantity. and has l&i* proved to be one of the leading lines P?" carried on the shelves of the best re , tail stores in the city, and the surH rounding towns, finding a ready sale. K This new concern could have sold ten times as much of the product as it Be ._ did. The whole of the output was K":' sold in the two Carolinas, delivered by j truck, eliminating all railroad freight ! rates, sexuiis <*t a uncaps [J1 iv;c uiaa can products packed in foreign states. The soil in the surrounding territory grows as good products, if not better, than those that are raised elsewhere, and this new concern has had -tetter after letter of inquiry, asking about this year's pack and wanting to .buy blanket order, for future delivery. ? .. Seeing the great opportunity that the new enterprise offered and seeing that there Is a great future for , it, and #that it will some day be a landmark, to the betterment of this state and the south at large, bringing to you the means by which to create a new money crop to give you the ready cash, for the ever-present need3, which comes to all, the company has this year brought here a man to super-1 intend the plant, look after the acre- { I age, and the culture of the growing j . crops, and at a great expense, offers j to the farmers of Mecklenburg county' his services, gratis, until harvest.

BARRON j. a ? r! wmmmmmmmmrnmmmm company has already ordered the very latest improved machinery for the plant?T-power hoists, a tracking transferring system through the plant, and are putting in one sealing machine that will close 1,200 cans in ten hours. With this modern equipment they will be able to handle all the contracted crop, a big surplus without delay to the parties delivering products. They will offer and put in the shelves of your grocer, the very best line of can ned goods and fruits that can be found in any up-to-the-minute store. Under the supervision of their expert this product will be second to none, in the south, north, or west. At the same time when you carry home this line of foods you are boosting a home I institution, helping your' farming friendse to a new base by which to overcome this cotton evil that has gotten to the point of bankruptcy for the great south, and if there was no diversification would ruin all the southern states. It is the duty of every home-loving person in our state to not only boost but put a shoulder to the wheel and push. The Thomasboro Canning company offers great opportunities to the farmers as wel las the man who sells this class of goods, also the man that want.4 to invest in one of the most wideawake concerns in North Carolina. Right now is the time to line up to a bigger future, and a future income. Investigate this new concern. Go out and see the home of this enterprise, talk over the matter with the managing force, then ask your banker his opinion of its outcome. He will not mislead you. Ninety per cent of the world live out of tin cans and paper sacks, so do your part to fill these cans and sacks, as a grower, a retailer, or as a financier. Some one does, somewhere, at all times. Why not you? We invite your co-operation; we solicit your good-will and support; we agitate the slogan, patronize a home concern, toot your own horn, boost your state, buy a home product if there is one.

KUUt RIOLEAU, Se cretary and Trea: ' over the state intensive efforts are t being made to secure contracts to the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative Association. Over 4,000 fart mers who have already joined the association. have pledged to take the I field this week and endeavor to have their brother farmers who have not i yet joined to enlist under the eoop' erative banner. It is hoped to sign over 100,000 bales this week. Letters from prominent bankers all ! over the state strongly endorsing the asociation and calling on all bankers ; and business men to assist in putting the campaign across were received by the assocaton last week. "I am most heartily in favor of the cooperative marketing of cotton for the reason that it helps all those living in the cotton belt," wrote C. G. Rowland, president of the National Bank of South Carolina at Sumter. "I sincerely hope the campaign to organize the state may be a decided success. If the cotton producer has to buy from those who are organized and sell to those who are organized and he0himself does not organize, who is the loser? What affects the farmer affects all of us." Prom J. S. Stark, president of the Planters Bank of Abbeville came the following: "The organization of the cotton growers cooperative association is the greatest movement for the benefit of the farmer ever undertaken in this state. It wil ldo more to prevent him from holding cotton for a lower price than any plan that has ever been presented . Where it has been tried it is a success and I earnestly hope that the organization will soon be completed in this state. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. By all means let us have the proof." P. E. Clinkscales, president of the Bank of Anderson wrote: "I have gone fully *$nto the plan of the cotton co' operative marketing association and j most heartily approve of it. It ap pears to be a step in tne ngnt direction and in my opinion it will prove beneficial both to the grower and buyer of this cotton. The assembling and classifying according to grade alone is certainly the most economic plan for marketing. Its distribution and sale as needed by experts is wise." Sure Sign.

A celerated revivalist came to address his flock, and before he began to speak the pastor said "Brother Jones, before you begins this discourse, there are some powerful bad negroes in this here congregation and I want to pray for you," which he did in this fashion: "O Lord, give B/other Jones the eye of the eagle, that he may see sin from nfar Olne his ear to the erosnel tele- I phone, and connect him with the central skies. Illuminate his brow with brightness that will make the fire of hell look like a tallow candle. Nail his hands to the gospel plow and bow his head in some lonesome valley where prayer is much wanted to be said, and anoint him all over with the kerosene oil of Thy salvation and set him afire."?Congressional Record.
