Expecting Big Response

Governor Cameron Morrison
and his little daughter, Angela,
were the first two people in
North Carolina TO answer the
Annual Roll Call of the Amer
lean Red Cross. Checks to
cover their memberships for the
year 1923-1924 were received
by the Raleigh chapter four days
before the membership cam
paign opened Sunday. November
IL.
THE Red Cross ought to be
nourished and sustained and
kept strong to meet disaster
and emergency when it comes"
Governor Morrison stated in a
letter accompanying the check.
1T is the greatest organization
in all the worlds history for the
relief of those plunged into sud-
den disaster and suffering. |
hope North Carolina will be
generous in contributing to it's
support"
1,130 members is the goal
set for the annual membership
campaign in this state which
will be held beginning Armis-
tice day, November II, through
Thanksgiving. The 1875 Red
Cross Chapters in North Caro-
lima will conduct local campaigns
in as many communities
throughout the State between
these dates.
1--WE are expecting the biggest
response to this years Roll Call
that the organization has had
since the turbulent days of the
war, Joseph C. Logan, Mana
ger of the Southern Division,
stated today, "And this will
mean an increase in the organi-
zation's ability to serve those
who suffer-"
Money raised through men,
berships is used for carrying on
local activities in communities,
such as public health nursing,
assisting hx-soldiers, conduct
ing classes in first aid and life
saving, home hygiene and care
of the sick, and nutrition.
Fifty cents of every membership
received is sent to national
headquarters to carry on activi-
ties which it would be impract-
icable for the local chapter to
undertake. These include dis
aster relief work in communi-
tis stricken by destructive floods,
fires. tornados, and storms; and
furnishing supervisory aid to
chapters.

that went speeding thousands OF

,sibe before the invention of the
electric telegraph, says the
United States Department of
Agriculture.
The earliest experiments in
forecasting with the aid of tel
egraphic reports were probably
those Of Prof. Joseph Henry,
of the Smithsonian Institution,
made in 1S49. The first nation
al forecastng service, however,
was established in France in
1855, and was the result of an
episode of the Crimean War.
In November, 1854, severe
storm did much damage to the
French and British warships in
the Black Sea. The French as
tronomer, LIE Verrier, director of
the Observatory of Paris, made
study of this storm and came
to the conclusion that, with the
aid of telegraphic reports, it's
eastward progress across Europe
might have been predicted so
that the disaster to the ships
could have been averted. This
idea led to the foundation of the
French meteorological service.
In this country the establish
ment of similar service was
frequently recommended by
scientific authorities, including
the famous Lieutenant Maury
and Dr.. l. A. Lapham, of Wis
consin, and finally, in 1869, an
experimental service was estab-
lished in the Cincinnati Obser-
vatory by the late Prof. Cleve-
land Able, with the aid of the
Western Union Telegraph Co..
Professor Abbe's experiments
in weather forecasting were so
successful that Congress was in
duced to establish national
service, one of the principal
duties of which was forecasting
the weather This service was
originally attached to the Sig
nal Corps of the Army, but
since the year 1890 it has been a
branch of the Department of
Agriculture.

Modern Weather forecastins

In connection with the modern
system of weather forecasting,
it is interesting to know its ORR
gin and history. Scientific
weather forecasts depend upon
the rapid collection ofthe reports
of meteorological observations
taken at places scattered over a
wide expanse of territory. This
process was not, of course, pos

culiarly fortunate in her agri-
cultural industry this year is
proven by the high Yields and
generally satisfactory prices of
the farmers commodities this
yea rs reported by the State
Cooperative Crop Reporting Ser
vice. In keeping with this trend
it is also observed that the fall
outlook for The nations crops is
the best since 1919. The corn
in the middle west that sold so
cheaply two years ago is now
being worked more advantage
ously into livestock production.
In fact, the whole country is
inclined to a general livestock
increase so that much of the for
mer surplus Of grain crops will
this year go into the production
of more meat. Some Middle
Western States contemplate diff
ficulty in bringing their herds
through the winter at any profit.
The agricultural position is
improving, The purchasing
power of farm products, though
still low, is at the highest point
it has reached in three years.
Best of all, farm prices are now
better just at the harvest season
This means that the farmers
have passed the struggling stage
Of the last four years, during
which time they have been
drawing on their reserves of
cash, equipment. supplies and
even land value. North Caro-
lina's condition. or agricultural
purchasing power among the
states of the Union, Is unusual
| ly high.
COTTON
The cotton report released
last week brought out that Nor
tn Carolina holds second rank
as 4 cotton state. In fact, the
value Of lent and seed makes the
crop worth S174,960,000, basing
the v&lue Of lint at S.32 and seed
at s 800 per ton. This means
the crop in this safe is worth
Owe, i9 percent more than last
yeas value and more than 100
percent than the 1920, or 1921
croH 1t further means that
North Cardinals cotton crop is
worth more than 10 percent of
the entire crop of the United
States. The nearest competi-
tors in the value of cotton are
South Carolina and Oklahoma,
whose total value approximate
S126,000.000 each. A further
observation is that for the first
time since 1919 the cotton crop
OF the South distinctly holds a
larger percent of the value of
all crops.
SUMMARY
With the fine diversification of
North Cardinals crops, and es-
peclally with cash crops, so we'll
distributed over the state we
are particularly fortunate in our
agricultural interests this year.
Cotton, OF course, leads with not
only a big value but with a high
purchasing power Wheat and
corn are big assets with good
values. Tobacco's large yield will
help out wonderfully. All to-
gether the state has an advan-
tage over any southern state ex-
cept the Texas empire and, area
for area, we have that state
completely overshadowed. Ir-
vim S. Cobb said that North
Carolina needed a press agent
but according to inquiries COM
ing in from large industrial in
terests, the Tar Heel activities
and actions speak for themsel-
YES. The largest problem is 60
ing to be for the farmers to real
ize their advantage and to use
it to the best purpose.

WINTER WORK THE BIG

Alaska will never retain it's population or acquire any wealth until it provides winter jobs for it's working men. Tn too many instances a man will come to Alaska and work thru the summer, only to find that if he would live through the winter he nut go to, the states for employment.
 As the working man is the producer of all the wealth of a community, it stands to reason that he should be provided with an opportunity to labor in case he desires. There is no money made in working a few months and being forced to lay up all winter.-Seward Gateway.

DISTRICT CREATING

Highly commendatory ex- press'ons voiced by leading m ming men and engineers in recent editions of the Alaska W ely disclose that there is 2 constantly enlarging faith in the minds of those who know the mining game that the Port ] n Canal district is due to be- come a great mining section with further development.
 4 dozen or more articles of this character have appeared in that we'll known journal in recent weeks, each emanating from someone prominently con- rn"ted with the mining indust- ry, every one of which have b zen strongly commendaFory ce the district and it's possibil- ities for mineral development. And, most significant of all, each one of them is strong in the assertion that the section is 8 snlendid field for mining investment.
 It is indeed true,as all who core to investigate the district must speedily realize. The Fly der field will stand all the in- vestigation possible to give.
