FARM BUREAU.

AS is known to our readers the
Farm Bureau workers have been in
the county soliciting farmers to join
The organization. In this movement
the Independent has no part at all
except a friendly interest in the
farmers and their welfare. There
is no business of any kind in the
county which has reached any de-
gree Of proportion which is not
organized. g.
The Farm Bureau Of the country
mas already accomplished great
good. 1t is calculated to accomplish
much more for the farmer and the
consumer Of farm products.
Joining the Farm Bureau and us
ing TIE organization for good is en-
tIrcly two separate distinct things.
Merely to Join this organization and
NOT taking advantage Of its opportu-
mites amounts TO but little. 1t would
seem that the farmers Of the county
should undertake two distinct
phases @! work. These might be
cooperative buying and selling.
What the farmcrS,buy in quaint
iic% could be bought in bulk in a
cooperative method at much less
price than when bought in small
quantities. What the farmers have
10 sell can be sold comparatively
at bctccr price in bulk than when
sold in small quantities and sep
a1>ately and often times 60 TO the
consumer at a less price.
These are all matters to be work
ed out and they require careful
study and business Judgement. The
great. business of the country is all
worked out on well laid plans and
farming being the greatest business
and I've real foundation Of all other
business, there is no reason why
,fr Farmer should not place MS
business on firm business principles
and contantly conduct his business
IN this manner. 1t merely requires
anltcd, consistent effort.
Here's trusting that lhc renewed
rarm Bureau movement in Green
'fIcr county may be Il permanent
success and that all the farmers
IdIy be benefited thereby.

FARM BANK.

There has been organized in
Lcwisburs this week a Bank under
the Federal Farm Loan Act, by en-
tcrprising public spirited men.
Under this act two classes Of banks
are authorized known cas- Federal
Land Banks and Joint Stock Land
Banks.
The bank organized in Lewisburg
comes under the later head and is
known as the Grcenbricr Joint Stock
Land Bank.
The officers and directors arc ii.
w. ComStock, President; w. r. Mel
son, OF Lcwisburg, II. +. Hines, of
Princeton w. Va. and W. + Com
stock, of Charleston, Vicc-PrcSi-
dents and II. r. lluntr, of Lewisburg
Secretary and Treasurer. 4. E..
Masters, member of the Loan Com
mittec. The following, also, arc
members of the Board of Directors:
II. G.. Skaggs, Lcwisburg; W. b.
Hines, White Sulphur; r. II. An
schultz, Lewisburg; L. E.. Hines, of
Princeton, and C.. b. Ncttlcton, Of
Covington, Virginia.
This institution is capitalized at
100000 including surplus, and
under the law is authorized to sell
bonds for fifteen times the capital
and surplus. This will make avail
able for farm loans in his vicinity
approximately S5,000,000.
Loans arc made on farm lands
with first mortgage security for a
period OF twenty years payable in
Semi-annual installments.
The bank is one of fifty organized
in the United States, three of which
are in West Virginia. The first bank
organized Of this character is the
Virginia Joint Land Bank, of Char
lesion, which is only four years old
and is doing a Hourshing business.
The great advantage Of this bank
in Grcenbrier county is that it will
bring all the money into the coun-
~ and the farmers will have the
benefit OF it in the way Of loans for
farm development in any enter
prise they may choose o enter and
develop.
While banks of this character were
first authorized by thc Farm Loan
Act of Congress during the Wilson
Administration they have been in
operation in Europe for more than
a Hundred years and are Il success
and no IN experiment.
These banks do not operate as Il
commercial bank but only as Il loan
f, feature and the money is carried in
L l. II, Il
vidual accounts.
The gentlemen responsible for
this institution in Lcwisburg and
Grenbrier couny deserve great
credit for their cntcrprisng spirit
and as it develops and its true worth
becomes known it will be apprc-
ciatd. 1t is the biggest enterprise
ever started in Grcenbricr county
and it will be a success because 1t
is what this section OF the State
has needed for years. ''
We are advised that the institu-
ton will be open for business in
about two or three weeks, Of which
full announcement will be made.

Editors independent,
Dear sirs:

EuHoTS independent,
Dear sirS:
l am sending YOU a few apples
winch were grown in the Smoot
community. They are, perhaps, not
the largest nor the best but will
give you some idea of what can be
grown in this section. They are of
the Grimes Golden, Northern Spic,
Roman Beauty. etc, the largest of
which measures IL - inches in
circumference. We have hundreds
OF acres of land between the waters
OF Meadow River and Grccnbricr
River that await the fruit growers
and this land can be bought at Il
very reasonable price and with de-
HelCpmcnt now going on in West
crn Grccnbricr We do moi know Of
Il better investment for men of small
capital than these lands. The "o,In-
~ is clean. healthy and progrc> Sivc.
Come and see.

Smcoi. w. VA, Nov. -, 1922.
We acknowledge with pleasure
The apples above referred 10 and en-
press cur sincere thanks.
In limited way. Trough The IN
dependent, we have been advocat-
ing fruit development in Grccnbricr
county. but we arc frank to say we
had no idea that apples Of such fine
flavor and texture could be pro-
duced in TIC county. In flavor. thew
SlnpaSs any of Ike Western APPLES
ana III size and form they ""c equal
10 them. Ii may be that the sun
SHINE on Inc Pacific slopes Of the
mountains produces finer colorcd
apple but the flavor can not Suroass
Inc West Virginia apple and there
Is no where letter suited for the
production of apples than sections
OF Grecnbrier county.
while Il few years must pass be-
Tore commercial orchards could
matu'c 10 bearing yet small fruit
could be raised in the meantime to
dellay tie expense. Orchards prop
erly located as to air, freeze and
soil in Grccnbrier county would be
