SELF HELP IS BBST HELP
It is forecast that the government
is going to make a change in its
policy toward agriculture. It will
have less to say about what th? farm
er should do and not do ? and will
leave more up to the f aimer himself.
Progressive American farmers will
welcome tih&t change. And they will
also welcome the chance it will give
them to show the stuff they are made
of. Farmers face great (problem^ ?
and the only way they will eve? be
satisfactorily solved !s t>y the efforts
and work of the farmers themselves.
Even if government, by fiat, could
make all rosy in the agricultural
world, it would be of small worth if
the farmer became a financial and
mental dependent in ttie process.
Today several millions of farmers
are banded togeQvter in cooperative
associations, handling dairy products,
cotton, walnuts, wheat and other
goods. The co-ops are controlled by
the farmers ? they reflect farm senti
ment and farm aJmbtions. They re
present real private initiative through
collective action that doesn't ask for
favors, that doesn't depend for exist
ence on government, and that gets
results. Cooperatives are the best
weapons the farmer could have for
fighting depression.
f A LOGICAL GOVERNMENT
UNDERTAKING
In his address to Congress on pro- j
(posed public works for the current
year, the President laid down certain
broad principles on which he wished
the program to be based. Among
them were: That projects be deter
mined on the basis of the amount of
direct labor they would provide: that
the Highest possible percentage of
ithe money spent go into pay envel
opes; that the work produce things
that would be of definite public use
fulness; that the projects be of a type
that would not compete with private
endeavor.
Few public works projects could
better fit those principles than grade
crossing elimination. The great bulk
of every dollar spent would go to la
bor, both on the job and in (hteavy in
dustries ? paint, cement, steed, etc. ?
providing necessary supplies. No
private business would be haitned.
And the pujblic would not only receive
the boom of stimulated purchasing
power, but would be benfitted in an
jother vastly important field ? safety.
Thousands of people have been Wil
led at grade crossings; each year
brings its heavy toll. Only a small
proportion of the thousands of exist
ing crossings are adequately protect
ed. Past campaigns to eliminate
crossings have produced some resultB
? ? but lack of funds has brougtof such
work almost to a stop.
No work is more in the public In
terest than grade-crossing eliminat
ion, and its cost should be borne en
tirely by the public instead of the
railroads because everyone In the
country would reajp th? benefit.
FIFTY YEARS OF SUCCESS
We (believe that every Southern
man takes pride In any outstanding
achievement of a Southern industry,
such as the F. S. Royster Guano
Company of Norfolk, Virginia, which
this year is celebrating its Fiftieth
Anniversary.
The Royster Company was started
at Tarboro, Edgecomb County, Nortib
Carolina, by Mr. F. S. Royster in
1885, and for ten years all the feri
lizers manufactured by the Company
wore made at Tarboro. At this time
the demand for Royster goods had
increased so rapidly that it became
necessary to build a rnjuch larger
plant. Norfolk being the nearest
port, it was only natural that the
Virginia city should be selected ? as
tiho site of the new plant. 'IWs,
however, was only the beginning of
Royster growth, for so rapidly did
the demand fo* Roystef Fertilizers
spread that factories were noon built
throughout the South ? in South Car
olina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississ
ippi in addition to those in Virginia
And North Carolina. And then furth
er demand required modern plant* at
Baltimore, Maryland, and a* far west
B4 Toledo, Ohio.
The success of the Royster Comp
lany has <been phenomenal; and we
wish to extend our congratulation* to
the Company, one of the South'*
outstanding institutions in whose suc
cess the entire South should take prl<T
THAT FEELING OF UTTER
HELPLESSNESS
? ? 1 '
As the ourrent year gets underway,
tihto belief grows that times are 'better.
Recovery may not be just around the
corner ? but it may be within sight.
One of the ways % expedite recov
ery ? a way t(h!at is in the power of
every citizen ? is to reduce fire loss.
Fire ia the great destroyer. It is the
enemy of all the things that make
prosperity, employment, lndusrtia\
activity, business expansion, home
and fami development. -The dollars
that go up in Knoke are lost beyond
recovery ? they represent a complete
and utter waste of financial life- 1
| blood.
A fire that destroys a factory may
cause a direct loss of but $10,000 ?
and an indirect loss of ten times that
amount, in lost jobs, destroyed pur
chasing power, higher taxes for the
community. Cases ajre otn record
where a single disastrous fire has
brought progress in a flourishing
town to a definite halt ? and set it
back a generation in its develop
ment. Insurance may take cars of
the direct loss ? Ibut nothing can com
pensate for the indirect waste.
Resolve to do you* part in prevent
ing fire. Inspect your property and
correct hazards. If -you are building
or rebuilding, make certain that an
up-to-date, approved building code is
followed undeviatingly. It will take
little of your time and the cost will
be small ? and it will mean dollars in
your pocket.
One never experiences a greater
feeling of helplessness than when ho
sees his (home or place of business
being consumed by flames and no ad
equate fire protection available ta
Bave his property and possibly the
lives of loved ones.
All persons should cheerfully join
in fire prevention and fire protection
measures.
CODE LAWS VS. ECONOMIC LAWS
The President has stressed the
need for <m?re adequately applying
the fundamental principles of the
anti-trust laws and the result has
been either unjustified prico gains, or
the squeezing out of small businesses
Wttrich could not survive^, once the
opportunity of offering lower prices
was denied them.
It seems to bo an escapablo fact
that efforts to eliminate the ancient
laws of sup|ply and demand are
doomed to failure.
