SCOUT BUSINESS
OVER-EXPANSION
Reserve Board and Market
Committee Deny Full Re-
covery Is Here.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board sees no
evidence of "over-expansion Of busi-
ness or Of the use Of business credit" I"
A joint statement Of the board and
It's Open Market Committee, issued
after a study of the questions raised
by the fact banks have $3,310,O00 900
in excess reserves, said action on this
matter would be taken as soon as sit
appears to be in the public interest" !"
Continued improvement was found
in business conditions, although the
committee declared the Nation is still
short of full recovery"
Recovery Prime Objective.
The statement listed the further.
ance Of recovery as the primary OBJ
jective Of the Federal Reserve system.
"The present volume Of members
bank reserves. which have been great
ly increased by imports of gold from
abroad. continues to be excessive, far
beyond the present or prospective re-
quirements of credit for sound busi-
ness expansion" the statement said.
Therefore, the special problem
created by the continuing excess of
reserves has had and will continue to
have the unremitting study and at
tention of those charged with the re-
sponsiblity of credit policy in order
that appropriate action may be taken
as soon as it appears to be in the
public interest"
Reserve Reduction Urged.
In the statement, observers saw dis
inclination on the part Of the Open
Market Committee to follow the ad-
vice of the Advisory Council made ur
of business men in the Reserve dis
tricts. They had recommended that
Reserve banks sell some of their Gov.
ernment securities to member banks
thus reducing the excess reserves Of
the latter.
The Open Market Committee, COM
posed Of the governors of the IL Re-
serve banks, was said to believe the
Government bonds held in Reserve
banks represent the greatest earning
assets.
The present excess reserves-which
are sums in addition to the balances
which member banks are required to
keep on deposit with Reserve institu-
tions-are declared by some economists
to be the potential basis for credit
imitation.

HENDERSON COUNTY HAS OVER
$1,000 ACRES OF LAND WHICH
COULD AID FARM INCOMES
Wooded Acres, Says State
Expert, Challenge Farm
ers for Usefulness
By R. w. GRAEBER
Extension Forester, North Caro-
lima State College

Can the more than 1000 farm
ers of Henderson county make an
abundant living on the 4,136
acres of crop land and ignore the
opportunity offered by us on the
$500 acres of land which we now
control?" is the challenge of the
farm woods to the farmers of Hen
derson county.
These farm woodland acres
have in the past given you your
homes, barns and other buildings,
now valued at $2,964,807, as re-
ported by 1924 farmers. If a rea-
sonable standard of living is to
be maintained, these buildings
must be kept in repair and be re-
placed occasionally. To do this re-
quires material equal to five pei
cent of the value of the buildings
each year, or approximately $148,-
240. The farm woodland can sup
ply these building requirements,
if given a chance to grow timber,
Otherwise, the so-called cash
crops must supply funds with
which to purchase the necessary
building needs.
Again the farm woods give
Henderson farmers 23,SS4 cords
of fire wood each year for home
/ use, an average of II cords per
farm. Many farmers make wood
products a cash crop. As an ex-
ample, Al Henderson farmers re-
port sales of forest products to
the amount of $50,816, while all
farmers report cutting S118,552
worth of wood products for home
use and for sale. This is an aver
age of S59.71 per farm, an
amount equivalent to about three
times the average tax bill of the
farmer on all his holdings both
real and personal.
The woods make use of the
poorer, rocky soil types. and steep
rolling lands, not suitable for an
nual crops. They protect your
lands from erosion, aid in control
of water run-off and regulate
stream flow, give your open fields
protection from wind and aid in
preventing drought.
If you, as a farmer, concede
the above facts to be true, then,
is it not reasonable to give these
woodland acres reasonable protec-
ton and management, on the
same basis as you handle other
farm crops? You can't grow a
crop of corn by cutting down the
good stalks and leaving only the
culls, cripples, and weeds to car
nv on. In Henderson county you
will find many types and condi-
tions of forests. Some areas have
old growth of mature or virgin
timber which should be cut when
market conditions are right. This
may call for clear-cutting Oper-
