(Ry Max .Abernethy)

Raleigh, May 27.-Proper ware
housing will save North Carolina far
mers from four to five millions an
nually on their cotton lin the opinion
of 1T B. w. Kilgore, director of the
Agricultural Extension Service in
this State, who yesterday made his
report TO the joint committee for ag-
ricu1tural work. @
North Carolina's share of the loss
through the country damage 20 cot
ton amounts to between four and five
million dollars annually,". he says,
''most of which can be saved through
proper warehousing in addition to
gains from sale on proper grades aad
comparatively in lots of considerable
quantity. Help has been given toward
bringing about proper. warehous1ng
and improved methods of selling
through warehouses, expert engineer
ing assistance in warehouse con-
structiOn, insurance and operation. ''S
Plans for the warehouse are being
furnished through the warehouse en-
gineer There are already 80 wares
houses being operated under the
State and Federal system, and some
SO, 900 bales have been warehoused
during the season.
California and New York joined
hands and forced North Carolina out
of fourth and into sixth place during
the year in the value of farm crops,
according to the direetoras report.
!. ..Agricultural1y from the stand
point of production the past year was
one of the very best in the history
of the State,'' DR.. Kilgore says, de
monstrating that we know how to
produce, the largest crops of tobacco
and corn and one of our largest of
cotton being grown, but the low
price for farm products here as in
other parts of the country, resulting
from defIation- and depreciation, have
had their effect on our farmers and
the farming industry, and the State
lost it's place as the fourth State in
the Union in the money value of it's
farm crops, California and New York
nosing it from fourth to sixth posi-
ti0n among the States in the Union" 4"
North Carolina may yet regain it's
lost position DR.. Kilgore thinks eff
we have the vision to look forward
and the good sense to look backward

COMMON HONESTY
COURAGE is NEEDED
American People Are Not
Buying Enough to Supply
Themselves Fully With Or
binary Comforts of Life AL
though They Have the Dis
position and Means to Do So.

New York, May 27.-A full return
to satisfactory business conditions
will be slow until the minority of
business men and workmen who have
ignored the principles of common
honesty are aroused to the necessity
of solid and decent standards of con-
duct according to Elbert H. Gerry,
chairman of the Steel corporation.
American Iron and Steel institute
Mr.. Gerry who is president said the
American people are not buying
enough to. supply themselves fully
with ordinary comforts of life al
though they have the disposition and
means to do So This he explained
was due toe opinion of the purchas-
ing public that there. has not been
complete and proper readjustment
of pricek.
''Ther4 is an abundance of new
and inclination to place it waiting for
further adjustment which will put
the cost of living, selling prices, wage
rates, and other general incomes on
relative parity:
Patience, courage and a fair dis
position will bring satisfactory condi-
tions in due time"
Present steel selling prices Mr..
Gerry declared will not permit any
reductions until wages are further
decreased. 1t would be unjust to fur
ther reduce wage rates before costs
of living are lowered.
