OSE WHCT HUMBLY DREAM OF A ' —-LITTLE COUNTRY PLACE. The author of this artide was rear ed on a cotton farm and has worked on newspapers in Georgia, South ■Carolina, New Jersey and New York. In recent years he has engaged most ly in investigating and writing about •economic subjects, including agricul ture. In th e last four iponths he vis ited several hundred farms in the Carolinas and talked with many kinds of farmer s in all iparts of the two States. In a Ni rth Carolina village a black smith handed me record cards show ing that he had earned $800 to $900 a year off about 700 hens in his back yard. “Most of the work with the chickens i s done by me while my wife is preparing breakfast in the morn ing,” said he. A woman in South Carolina showed me through a chicken farm back of a home th e chickens had saved to the present occupants by adding about $1.25 a month to the family income. On the outskirts of a small North Carolina city the wife of a prominent business man has made as much as V> ,000 a year from a farming opera tion centering in an addition to the house in which she live?. The core of the operation is a hatchery that evolved from backyard poultry rais ing. When the hatchery was started there were babies in the home. “It had to be so that I could look after the hatchery and my babies at the same time,” say s the proprietor, who is the mother of eight children and now “mothers” about 75 sizable flocks of purebred chickens on farms that supply her hatchery with eggs. Good Layers, Good Money. Poultry operators reporting to the Nort h Carolina Extension Service made an average or around $1.60 per adult bird on their flock s this year. Some made as much as $4 to $5 per bird and not one reporting up to Au gust had lost money. - I could fill this column with cita- titjn s cf successful poultry enterprises I saw in all parts of the Carolinas this year. And many more columns with citations of other kinds of suc- cenaful specialty farming I saw in the two States. For instance, there are the aspara gus growers and the large-scale grow- vis of sweet potatoes for distant markets. I am<yet to be given an in stance of an operator of either kind losing money, though i# is doubtful that the sweet potato grower s fared very well this year. And the dairy ing enterprise -many of them that sell to households, were getting price* that, when reduced cost of feed is considered, were close to the profit eering level. 1 saw not one which /W thi s year as a whol e will not be profitable. ^ " Judging by underlying portents like bind stability, I’d say that the farming localities which seemed to be weathering the present depression best are the truck-growing districts near Charleston, S. C., and Wilming ton, N. C., respectively. The first region ha s been helped much by the rapid growth of motor tran-portation, wfeich, incidentally, is expending in almost revolutionary extent the mar- -keting opportunities of most kinds of specialty Farming in this part of the South. (“For goodness sake, don’t make it generally known, but a group of farmers in thi s county are cashing in fine on tomatoe- now being trucked to Florida,” a demonstration agent near the line between the Carolinas toid rne in September.) Motor trucks have shortened the distance between farms in this area and the big East ern markets, have made easily acces sible many markets, and expanded outlets for many products and varie ties thereof. Vn Alluring Field. " If you want to see specialty farm ing at its best, visit the Castle Hayne Colony community that wa s brought into existancp near Wilmington, N. "C., fifteen to twenty years .„ago by Hugh McRae. Dominated by folk having nn Old World heiitage of thormighness, frugality and industry, the CaAle Hayne'community is as de- presssion proof asi can be. in looking for examples of success ful farming in the Carolinas, I almost , j 1 4 ^ X' '■ r>u. ■atianK, tl^ere were so many of them und they were holding their own so vnafl under present conditions. In teresting ones were called to my at tention in every locality visited. I not one that was npt succeeding in at least fair measure.. ^ Of a great many specialty farm product? grown in the area this part of the South consumes more than it produces. Jfet the widespread pre- ot pellagra attests in tragic deficient consumption of dairy, and fresh vegetable products, il demand for such, products been increasing rapidly through- M out the countfy. ^ Disadvantages of production of them, in this area are doubly offset by advantages* It is a matter that should be ap proached with caution, but from what I have seen, I would say that it is feasible for specialty farming opera tions to be doubled and perhaps trebled in the Carolinas in the next few years. For person 8 fitted for it, I know of no more alluring opportuni ties anyhere than are those in Small- scale specialty farming .in, this part of the South. AMERICAN WORLD RESPONSIBILITIES By H. J. HAAS President American Bankers Association are ,n a changing world, with many now financial problems for which we have no precedents, and ■ many jold prob- ' lems which have so changed as to beunreoggrtlzable. American bankers have been called into world affairs to blaze new trails of unknown finance. We may expect these calls to be more nu merous in the fu ture than - they have in the past. We are the H. J. HAAS world’s financial leader and we must accept the responsibility which goes with it. Let us look to thje future with con fidence. Every one has experienced a great sorrow some time, perhaps so great we felt we could never over come it, but time is the great healer and eventually we have come out of it. As it is with individuals, so it is with nations. Our nation has had much sorrow in the 155 years of its existence. In that time we have passed through the major depressions of 1837-1857-1873 to 1879-1884-1893-1896- 15)07-1914-1921 and the ; present. I venture to state that in each of these periods there were those who had doubts of the future just as we have them today, but what happened after each depression? Our country recovered, to be better and stronger than ever. Its people were introduced to modes of living they never dreamed of, until today, notwithstanding our depression, we-’live on the highest plane of any nation in the world. Should we not judge the’ future by past experience? Surely our people are better pre pared, financially and intellectually, to cope with even greater problems than they have been in the past, so why not look to the future confident that fun damental social and economic prob lems will be adjusted satisfactorily?

The finest Fisher bodies Chevrolet hss ever introduced. And the ssme qualities of reliability and economy that have won the approval of millions of Chevrolet owners. All these you will find in the new Chevrolet Six at one of the lowest prices in the market! That’s why the new Chevrolet Six is the Great American Value for 1932! V V I. John Pointing out the Lamb of God (vv. 19-34). Through the testimony of Jofin the Baptist, his disciples were directed to Jesus. His theme was “The Lamb of God, the Sin-bearer of the World.” II. Two of John’s disciples Fol lowed Jssus (vv. 35-37) J As a result of the Baptist’s testi mony, two of his disciples left him and followed Jesus. One- of Jhese disciples was Andrew (v. 40) and pre sumably the other was John, the apos- Jle. When. John_pointed out Jesus-as- the Lamb of God, the long-expected Messiah, these disciples sought fur ther acquaintance wUh Jesus. Through John's testimony, they looked upon the Lord. When they looked, they be lieved. The proof of their belief was their following after him. John speaks, the disciples hear and follow. The whole plan of salvation is wrapped up* in this simple testimony and action. III. The Two Disciplos Abiding with Jssus (tv. 38, 39). 1. Jesus’ question (r. 38). Seeing the disciples following him, Jesus most kindly inquired as to their object. 2. JThe disciples’ reply (v. 39). They answered his question by inquiring as to bis dwelling place. Their reply showed their desire to go apart pri vately where they could disclose their hearts to him. Knowing their hearts, he invited them to his place of abode. Therefore, for the remainder of that day they held sweet Intercourse with the Master. IV. Th« Disciples Bringing Others to -Jesus (vv. 40-46). This portion of the lesson is one of ^the most inspiring passages of the Bible for the encouragement of soul winning. The very genius of Christianity Is self-propagation. The usual method is to begin with those nearest,us—home folk and relatives—and then pass out to ever widening circles. The disci ples, who were with Jesus In blessed fellowship, go at once to tell others of the priceless treasure they have found. 1. Andrew brings Peter (vv. 40-42).

Confidence is not established by any , one thing but by an accumulation of | erly _ affection, expressing Itself in things. If we can get confidence started [ bringing another to Christ. The best on its way, gathering a little here and there, it will accelerate its speed as it goes along. This is not the work of any one man to perform but Is the cumulative effort each and every one of us. What we are in the future is not the result of what we have done on any one day but the result of all that we have done for all time. The American Bankers Association is en deavoring to do its part. Individually our efforts may not count for much, but they are part of the whole plan and taken in the aggregate they amount to the sum total of all our efforts. PUBLIC BY BANK GOSSIP National Association Declares Community Interests Demand Protection Against Idle Rumors FJOTH in their advertising and ** their direct contacts with in cus tomers and others, bankers should ‘‘consciously and persistently devote more time and thought to keeping people mindful of the fact that while the bank lias many obligations toward its custodiers, equally is it true that the depositor also has certain obliga tions to the hank to enable it to prop erly maintain its position in the com munity,” a recent statement # of the American Bankers Assciation de clares. „ “A bank admittedly is a semi-public institution and, there is a mutuality of obligation resting upon both thq banker and his customers to maintain the effective functioning of that insti- p specialty types of oper- tutipn that 4a superier- ter tbe persomtt interests of either," it says. *. Bankers- might well consciously de vote greater effort to building up the public viewpoint in their communities that duello their public obligation^, and biu^en o£'. ipblic Interest, the banks are entitled., to protection against ill-informed or malicious gos- ilp and rumors, the etatement says. “As to banks in some states, bank Blander laws afford this protection,” it points out. “We recommend that this protection be availed of by definite action wherever practical both as a matter of immediate expediency an -also to awaken public opinion aa to' the dangers of Idle gossip about a community’s banking institutions.” place to begin our testimony to Christ is among .our kinsfolk (Luke 8:39). This was a great piece of work for Andrew, for I’eter became one of the pillars of the church of God. This was in keeping with what Christ an nounced, for when Jesus beheld him he said, “Thou art Simon, the son of John. Thou shait be called Cephas”— meaning a stone. 2. Philip bringing Nathanael (vv..43- 46). Christ found Philip the following day as he would go forth into Galilee. Philip followed him in response to a personal invitation. Then Philip found Nathanael and witnessed to him con cerning the messiahship of Jesus. He said unto him,’"We have found him, of whom Moses in the law and- the prophets did write, Jesus of Naz areth” (v. 45). Christ is the sum and substance of the Old ^Testament. Na thanael was somewhat skeptical, but was honest. The proper thing is to invite the skeptjeal to put Christ to a test. Christianity welcomes inquiry. . V. Nathanael Seeing and Hearing Jesus Testifies to His Deity (vv. 47-49). As soon ns Ngthanael heard and saw Jesus, all his doubts rolled away. Jesus proved that he was the omnis cient One. We do not know what Na thanael was doing under the fig tree. Perhaps he was praying for heavenly light and guidance. Jesus saw him while there. He who Is willing to be led shall surely come to the light (John 7:17). He who acts upon the light given shall see greater things (vv. 50. 51). Angels ascending and descending upon th§ Son of man with the open heavens show that Jesus Christ is the means of communica tion between earth and heaven (Heb. 10:19, 20; Eph. 2:18; Gen. 28:127. This narrative concerning the expe riences of the first disciples exhibits the following stages of Christian ex perience : 1. Hearing about Jesus (v. 36). 2. Looking upon Jesus (v. 36). 3.
