lone Campaign

eesrgh N. c. March,. 29-If
tthE money which North Carolina
is sending to other States each
year for food end feed products
were kept at home, the accumula-
ton would equal the value of all
the farm land and buildings in
!. the state in less than ten years.
This sticking statement appears
in a leaflet embracing an ana
lysis and summary Of the agri-
cultural situation in North Caro-
lima, together with the suggested
remedies being advocated in the
.Live-at Home" movement. The
leaflet was prepared by John
Paul Lucas, executive secretary
Of the Central Campaign Com
mittee and is being sent broad
cast over the state to members
of the county campaign COM
mittees, rural school teachers,
school committeeman, bankers
and others.
"We send to other states each
year for food and feed products,
most of which we could easily
raise ourselves, sum very con-
siderably in excess of the value
of our entire cotton crop: sum
almost twice as great as the
value of our combined crop OF
hay, peanuts, sweet potatoes,
wheat, oats, rye, soybeans, COW
peas, and sorghum. "
The two outstanding purposes
of the "Live-at- Home campaign
are declared as follows:
(1) To induce every farm
family in North Carolina to
raise at home those food and
feed products which are neces-
sary for the proper maintenance
Of the family and of the livestock
on the, farm.
(2) To promote the health,
the phi ysical efficiency,
the general welfare and happiness
of the people of North Carolina
through a balanced and more
varied diet, which can be assured
only if the necessary food stuffs
are produced at home and are
constantly available.
In order to accomplish these
purposes, the statement says,
it is necessary that every farm
family in North Carolina, white
and colored, shall;
Cd, Have an all-the-year
garden.
(2) Keep one or more cows.
90 Keep an ample flock of
chickens.
(4) Raise its own hog meat.
This is a very simple program
1t calls for nothing more in the
way of ener gy, outlay, or in
telligence than can be supplied
by SO per cent of the farmers in
North Carolina. This program
has been followed and is being
followed by tens Of thousands of
families in North Carolina. On the
other hand it is being utterly neg
lected by tens of thousands of
families.
Attention is called in the leaf
let to a number of important
bulletins and circulars prepared
by the Agricultural Extension
Service, relating to the tending
of gardens, the keeping of cows,
poultry and hogs, and to farming
generally under boil weevil con-
ditions. These bulletins may be
had without cost simply by ad-
dressing the Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, Raleigh, N. c., |
and asking for them.

Always Speculative

Question-Would YOU please give me
some information to. the best OF your
knowledge as to the oil stocks of the Owen
A. Wood. Owenwood Building Fort Worth
Tex? I have a very dear friend who has 8
taken fifty shares. but as vet has heard
nothing--only letters from them. telling
him to invest more, as they have struck oil
and want him in on pool No g. He ia in
doubt what to do, and as l am steady
reader of The Tribune I told him to wait
until wrote to your paper, so any In
formation received will be appreciated
w. McC.
Answer-The stocks Of producing oil
company whose operations are confined
to limited territory, as is the case
with the Owen Wood Company, are al
ways speculative, by reason Of the ma
ture Of the business. If you or YOUR
friend wish to speculate with your
money, you can doubtless have as much
amusement out of it by buying shares
IN this company as any other way. but
neither we nor any one else can fore
tell what the outcome will be except to
point out the fact that the great ma
jority Of people who have engaged in
speculative operations throughout the
history of the human race have lost
their property.

To Support the Market

Vuestton-Two years ago bought some
stock in the Automotive Corporation. man
ufacturers Of farm tractors and the new
Sun automobile at Toledo. This corpora
tion is about to put their stock the News
York Curb Exchange. and they have desig
their brokers, so what I wish to know Is .
If it is customary for stockholders to have
to pay brokers for the expense and support
Of market--as they put it? l must pay
so much, according to the number Of
shares hold. which means I must pay
slo as ! hold twenty-five shares. I have
$1,000 which I would like to invest in
centage as possible. but must be good as
regards safety l haven't had any expe-
rience concerning bonds in 1917 I bought
two Liberties. having spent two years with
me United states forces in Europe. which
have sold. What do you think of 5. w
Straus g. Co bonds. France 7i2 per cent
l94l, around 944, and Chicago Union Sta
Answer-The Straus bonds and Chi
cago Union Station 6lss are good in
vestlnents, in our opinion, and SO are
the French government bonds, al
though we think the latter are less at
tractivc at the present thine on ac-
count of the disturbed situation in
Europe. Asking stockholders to put
their money up for the support of the
market in a stock is an utterly in
defensible proceeding, in our opinion
and we advise YOU to have nothing to
do with it. We suggest that you sell
the shares you have for waht you can
get for them and let somebody else
support the market.

Prices Steady
In Irregular
Stock Market
Day of Uncertainty Featured
by Drop iii Money Rates;
Buying Lacks Enthusiasm,
However; Some Selling

Following two days Of reaction, sepa-
rated by an intervening day of re-
covcry, yesterday was a period of un-
certainty in the principal domestic
financial markets. There WAS a relaxa-
ton OF selling pressure, but irrcgu-
larity rather than frmness prevailed.
In a colorless day financially the
outstanding developments were in the
money market, which revealed further
the passing Of the era Of abnormally
high money rates resulting from the
extraordinary demands Of war require
mcnts and economic imitation. For the
first time since the fall Of 1917, time
funds were offered against Stock Ex-
charge collateral at less than per
cent. Although per cent remained
the prevailing rate yesterday, some
business was reported at AZ per cent.
Anticipating further easement in credit
for speculative purposes, brokers have
been dsinclined to make extensive
commitments in the matter Of time
loans. The recession resulted In
slight gain in activity. Call money
rates at the money desk on the floor
of the Stock Exchange late in the ses-
SION. for the first time since July %
last, was offered at 3h per cent. The
opening quotation was Az per cent.
The focusing Of attention on the
money situation resulted in no enthu
siastic buying Of stocks. The change
was for the most part ignored by
traders, and its only influence was in
negatively restraining further general
selling. Professional spectators who
were dominant in the quiet trading
yesterday were thinking primarily
about tho technical position of the
market, whose trend has been broadly
upward since August, and about the
ability Of business to steer its way sue
cessfully through the present test Pc
riod.
In the last hour selling was directed
principally upon the oil and steel
shares. Despite this, the final prices
were on the average shade higher for
the industrials, but trifle lower for
the railroad shares.
Final wheat prices were u to / cent
lower, and cotton quotations to 10
points.
Sterling and the Continental ex-
changes were firmer.

For a. Young Man

Question--PIessc Rivc me your opinion
on the following list Of bonds for per

for a young man, good position, taving
accumulated the bonds for a nest egg for
the future: One Grand Trunk Railroad So
due 1895: ono Portland, Rock Island &

1871? Would appreciate very much your
advice What two other bonds ] should
buy.-M. S. s
Answer-Thc bonds you have are
good investments, in our opinion, for
young man and we are glad to sug-
gest two more which we regard as
sound investments and which we think
will give additional diversification to
your list. We suggest Northwestern
Bell Telephone Is, 1941, recently sold
at 107, to yield over 61z per cent, and
Diamond Match Company 7ks, 1895,
recently seeling at 108, to yield
trif1e over per cent

Looking for a High Return

Question: would be much obliged If
investing $1,000 in Consolidated Textile 1s,.t 5 ;
per cent first mortgage bonds and $4,000
in Manitoba Power Company per cent
is all the money | have it is necessary l
should be Very. careful about investing it,
understand that al present public utili-
rate OF Interest," 5000 has been invested
In the bonds of the American Telephone
and co''aterais : per cent: bought them
Would YOU advise my selling them and in
vesting in the Manitoba Power Company
bhsse birn san~dian j.. bonds bring in such
csnadiar municipal Bonds - 1oS :. at1S McK. o.
Answer - Your American Telephone
and Telegraph collateral 5s are a high
grade investment. They are selling
below tho price at which YOU bought
them because money rates are ma
at that tsmc We would not advise
you to sci ltl.em for the purpose of
buying Msnitoba Power Is. which we
regard as of lower grade. Try TO
place your funds in sound investments
and do not look first at the rate of
return. AS general rule a high rate
OF return means lower factor of
safety. 1t seems to us that You would
be much wiser to put your $1,000 in
bonds like New York Central deben-
ture is, 1885; Brooklyn Edison general
Is, 1910. and Diamond Match Company
7!2s, 1886. You would secure a return
OF better than 6 per cent by dividing
your funds between these three bonds
and the factor of safety would be ma
terially greater than in Consolidated
Textile 8s and Manitoba Power Is, in
our opinion. Canadian municipal bonds
are good investfents, as general rule.

Reserve Banks New Home

Former Comptroller John SHELTON
Williams, it was suggested in the finan-
cial district yesterday. may see the
basis for a charge Of favorite son
against the New York Federal Reserve
Bank in the fact that Governor Har-
ding has specifically exempted the local
institution from the edict stopping
work on new Reserve Bank buildings.
But. then. Cleveland also was exempted.
Governor Harding points out that con-
tracts have been let in connection with
the construction Of these banks new
homes that cannot now be Cancelled

Gold Imports SIacken

A slackenng of the inflow Of gold
has been feature Of recent weeks,
rejecting, in the opinion of bankers,
not so much any decline in the ability
Of the United States to draw this metal,
as the approach OF exhaustion of the
free or floating supply of gold avail
able for shipment to this country. The
heavy movement which is now tapering
off has not, with the exception Of some
German gold in connection with repara-
tions payments. involved encroachment
on the reserves of European central
banks, the greater part being derived
originally from Russian sources. In.
dcation that the United States will
continue to take large part of the
new production is seen in The notitIca-
tion received by Kuhn, Loeb & Co:
yesterday, that S2,24o.0oO in gold would
be shipped to them on the Megantlc
and $40, 900 on the Kroonland. This rep
resents Transvaal gold purchased in
the open market in London.
