Self-dependence will not endure

1t cannot stand the simple test Of

From birth till death, men and
women of every degree are dependen,

Everything worth having comes
from others.
Love, companionshlp, power and
fame are the priceless gifts bestowed
upon you by the kindly hearts and
generous hands Of those who are trayel-

not, are giving something of which
you are possessed to weld link in

These notes may pain sharply as

cultural statistician. In report Of the

longs to cotton and tobacco alone.
| Many states and authorities have
the idea that North Carolina is almost
solely given over to cotton and tobac-
co but according to the cooperative
crop reporting service of the state and
federal department of agriculture,
this state produces as great "a number
OF different crops on commercial
basis as any state in the union Corn
is valued at over IS million dollars:
nay at Il millions; sweet potatoes at
almost 10 and Irish potatoes neat six
millions, while peanuts stand at over
seven millions in value. Soy beans
equal over four, sorghum cane and
COW peas each over two million dol
lars. Fruit and truck run into the
millions, also, although the western
rugged counties do not produce many
or these crops In great quantities, the
farmers up there produce valuable
products from their mountain side pas
