The greater portion of this money, he said, has come from to bacco growers, but cotton growers also are - now making payments of their loans. Indicating the # splendid manner in which the farmers are repaying their loans, Mr. Graham pointed out that the Horry Production Credit Association with headquar ters at Conway, S. C., has already collected 97.4 per cent of the money loaned by it; the St. Johns associa tion with headquarters at Hast ings, Fla., has collected 95.5 per cent of all of its loans; the Marion association, with headquarters at Marion, S. C., 94.4 per cent; the Lake City association with head quarters at Lake City, S. C., 93.8 per cent; the Kinston association with headquarters at Kinston, N. C., 90.1 per cent and the Adel Association with headquarters at Adel, Ga., 83 per cent. Farmers of North Carolina, which has the biggest tobacco area of any of the four states, have already re paid approximately 50 per cent of their loans from the production credit association, Mr. Graham said. “The farmers of this district are showing that they appreciate the credit service which the production credit associations offer”, said Mr. Graham, “and that they desirt to maintain their credit standing with them. Likewise in paying their loans promptly they are saving themselves additional interest charges and they are enhancing the value of their Class B stock in the associations. These associa tions, or farmer banks, because that is really what they are, are de signed to be permanent institu tions to furnish the farmer season al credit for production purposes on attractive terms.” x Carolinas Mav it Look For Boom COLEMAN W.

After a great war, a great peridff of prosperity, and a disastrous de pression, the Carolinas today are not only facing complete recoveijp but also are entering an era thai. will witness a migration to the tw» states within the next few years, that will exceed anything America, has seen since the opening of the west, according to Coleman YL Roberts, of Charlotte, N. C., execu tive vice-president of the Carolina*,, Inc. # “Carolinians have awakened -ta> the necessity and value of starting a ‘Carolina crusade; and the na tion is already becoming conscious: of this Carolina crusade,’ th*' speaker said,” and this crusade » going to be a tremendous succes* because the Carolinas have the re sources to back it up. “The Carolinas are today the envy of the nation because of the rapidity of our recovery, all of which is the result of the initia tive of our patriotic and loyal citi zens. Prosperity built on a polil- ical foundation cannot be perman ent. Prosperity built completefcr on a relief program is temporary,, except where able, patriotic, antf creative citizens recognize and as sume their individual responsibil ity to carry on to the limit of their resources. “The Carolina crusader idea is tat arouse a greater enthusiasm among; all Carolinians for the Carolina* by developing a greater knowledge of our resources and opportunitier and by taking the initiative ‘In promoting development. • “tret’s humanize the Carolinas. If we could humanize ^the charac teristics of all Carolinians it would be the finest thing we could do to impress the stranger# and newcom er with our section. We Carolm- ians by birth or adoption pride ourselves on our southern hospital ity. We pride ourselves on it but do we exercise that characteristic frequently enough? We too often try to emulate the characteristics: of other sections. For instance; have you noticed how difficult it Is to find honest-to-goodness souttft- ern cooking and southern dishes in our hotels and cafes? Yet Hdc south was once famous for its dishes. Nothing in the world wiH so impress the newcomer or strang er as a little unsolicited courtesy or hospitality. • “Our states make up a peculiar region with possibly the widest variety of opportunites of any sec tion. We who live in the Carolinas are so close to these opportunities and resources that we cannot ap preciate them as do visitors. This country was not given to us to hold exclusively for ourselves. It is our responsibility to share these glories, wonders, resources and opportuni ties with other people. “The way to reduce taxes is to increase our ability to pay them, by developing one of the greatest nat ural industries with which any sec tion has been endowed, and fay bringing into the Carolinas a great number of people to share these taxes with us. “If we must have millions every year to run our governmental unit* the same people must pay these taxes in whatever form they are disguised, but when we induce an other half million people to become residents and investors in the Carolinas and when we develop » $500,000,000 tourist industry, omr taxes will be proportionately re duced for every taxpayer. “We overtax motor vehicles m the Carolinas, and car owners evade the tax by purchasing else where, and a lot of them get by with it. “Favorable tax laws can do more than most anything else to devel op the Carolinas.
