ment or eastern CAROLINE IdI III ldiuo'
/ North Carolina has twenty million
| acres Of unused lands, producing not
even a wood or timber crop. which.
| 7 owned and worked by a thrifty and
industrious people, would go far TO-
ward supplying the world with many
necessities Much of it is barren
through waste due to ignorance and
.upidity. 1t is to the interest of every
.itizen of the State, whether city or
country dweller, to Pit these idle
acres TO work; to let the world know
that we have land of excellent quail
lty and at a reasonable price to offer
our kindred of the North and West
40 are seeking homes in land OF
opportunity and wonderful promise;
that we are building systems of roads
and rural schools such as will make
country life profitable and desirable;
that we have the largest percentage
of native Anglo-Saxon people to Of
fer as neighbors and fellow citizens
be found in any State in the I'm
on and that we would welcome
hose of like blood and ideals to
hare the great opportunities and
blessings of this land upon which
Iod smiled in the making.
Advertising is what has made Cal
fornia and Florida great resort
}tates, the mecca of tourists. Taken
Is a whole, North Carolina has far
better soil and natural advantages
than either of these States she can
roduce commercially almost every
crop grown in the temperate zone, in
;luding the staples, small grains,
.ruck, fruit and other crops, cattle
md dairy products, etc; she has vast
.'aterpoWer resources which are even
low making possible an industrial
development that is the marvel of the
.'orld; to those who would cater to
he tourist our mountains, our sea
peaches and the many advantages of
he Sand Hills and other sections of
he Piedmont offer opportunities for
he development of both winter and
ummer resorts such as is to be
'ound in few other States; and we
lave range of temperature, al
wealth of scenery and natural beauty
If which no other State in the Union
ean boast a like diversity
Until recently we have Jagged in
he matter of schools and public
'oads. The last legislature generously
provided for both of these and it i.
he concensus of opinion that within
very few years North Carolina will
1so be Il leader in these respects.
This great constructive program fur
fishes such an opportunity for
aunching an organization for adver-
Using the State as will perhaps never
)e ours again. We cannot afford to
pass it up. Such Statewide gaency
would be a greater asset to every
inch of the State 1t would aid this
oass it up. Such a Statewide agency
section of the State to the others;
out even more important than this.
t would bring the resources an poss-
bilities OF the State to the attention
1orders; it would bring desirable
lomeseekers into the State to occup,
Ter idle farm lands; it would act as
IN agency through which those who
lave surplus capital to invest might
De brought together; it would en-
courage and promote such a mutual
interchange of ideas between all
'lasses of our people as will lead to
l cooperative and sympathetic eff |
OFT on the part of representatives of
very ndustry-agricultu com
-nerclal and industrial-to work to-
sether for greater commonwealth.
'ullt upon the solid rock of mutual
concession through understanding
sympathetic interest and good will;
ind finally, such an organization
could use its influence in securing
uch legislation and in formulating |
;uch state policies as would invite a |
tar-reaching development and a wise |
use OF the States natural resources
md erdowments.
III such an organization is to be
uccessfully initiated and administer
o. 1t must have the support of all
other State agencies, county organ
cations, municipal chambers of COM
nerce, boards of trade, clubs, etc.
ana or all individuals. Already con-
iderable interest has been awakened
IN various parts of the State in such
IN organization. This must be en-
couraged, interest aroused in other
sections and the whole brought TO-
sether and crystalized in one agency +
with the view of making North Caro- 8
ma greater North Carolina. Like :
