THE INVESTOR WAKES UP

Investors in public utility securities have besn
taking it on the chin along with other investors
the past three years. But now other investments
have begun to recover-not public utilities.
A few inqusitive investors began to inquire why.
They found that utility investments were still stag
nant because tbs government was apparently try
ing to ruin the utilities. They found excessive and
unwarranted taxation biting large chunks out of
earnings; they found the government going into
the power business and suborning municipal own
ership agitatops all over the country.
Fhe investors decided to fight, and they are
fighting hard They have shown that utility invest
ments are not only in the hands of some 10000
600 individuals, but that savings banks, insurance
companies, church funds, educational funds, and
many other types of trust funds have suffered
tremendously because of the governments advo-
cacy of tax-fnanced and unsupported competi-
ton
The battle has just begun, but it may be ex-
pected that the investors, even those who are ir-
direct investors through savings bank deposits and
insurance policies, will make themselves felt, anil
that the nationwide campaign of destruction will
be halted.-Publc Service Magazine

HENDERSON FARMERS ARE PLAYING
SAFE

Plans for holding down production ON
the land are not meeting with favor IN
Henderson county A trip through the
county will convince any observer that
Henderson county farmers are not eonsleir
ering less but more production. They are
at work on the land and land which has
been out of cultivation and some clearings
are being prepared for cultivation this sea-
son. Henderson farmers are taking the
right course. The way to better conditions
for them is in bigger and better crops; and
that is the way of producing more and bet
ter yields on the land. 5... 1sa
DIR. j. G. K. Mcclure and other Western
North Carolina farm leaders have been
pointing out for years past that in spite OF
diversified farming this section of the State
does not produce sufficient food for the use
of it's own population. All kinds of foods
and all kinds of feeds for stock are shipped
into Western North Carolina from other
sections of the country. So long as our
farmers do not feed the people of this sec
ton, it would unquestionably be the most
unwise policy that, could be adopted to
decrease production and buy from other
sections of the country the things which
can be grown Oh our own lands. 81.
These things would cost more than the
cost of producing them here, because our
people would be compelled to pay the
producers elsewhere a profit for their Ia
Dor and handling and the additional costs
of shipping into this section: and, if our
people do not maintain themselves and
produce something to- sell elsewhere tn
bring money into, the section: where will
they obtain the cash to pay for the prod
uets of other sections? a.,- VS.,
The highest possible development of the
limited farming land area of Western
North Carolina, and the production of the
largest possible crops, will open the road
to prosperity to the rural people of this
section. They will never attain prosperity
by laboring to grow smaller, crops, or by
planting and then destroying growing
crops, or by working FIVE hours day and
for the farmers of this section is that Of
hard work, according to plans Whlch every
farmer must make to meet his own needs
and conditions. Prosperity will come as
our farmers become more efficient in
growing and marketing their crops; as
they improve the land and raise the quality
of their products: It will not result froln
sloVenly methods, haf-hearted efforts =
determination to labor but little, and de-
pend on other people or the goyernmen MT

themselves in order to be successful as
business men, ~ -
large number of Henderson county
farmers are on the right road. There ~
room for, all ON this road. 1t is the way Of
farming to make a living at home and
