added new interest TO the question OF
securing desirable farmers and farm
laborers to develop tho South's agri-

been pointed out In preceding articles
the recent immigrant has found a pIac.

most instructive object lessons along
this line. Is furnished by the North

Valdese, North Carolina.

OF Burke county. North Carolina, about
six miles east OF Morgantown, the
county seat 1t is In the foothills OF

and IS miles west OF Salisbury.
About so North italian families and
from $50 to 500 individuals are at this
zine living in the colony. Twenty Of
:he families constitute the village of
Valdese. and no family lives farther

The farms OF the colonists are small.
usually ranging from 8 to 100 acres.

found banks in only the cities and larg-
er towns of the State. Now t..erc are
but few towns. or even villages, in
the Stat, that do not boast 81 one or
more banks. and they are banks that
are strong and capable of doing the
business demanded by the communi-
ties in which th.y are located.
There are in Virginia to-day o4S in
corporated State banks. with total
assets OF close to $4,000, 10000. and
there are 1870 National banks in the
State. with total assets amounting, to
considerably over $4,000. 10000.
