 Force Changes in U. s.
 In doing all these things, the CO., ops are forcing certain changes upon American business. The CO., op idea is taking hold.
 It may mean that the people through their cooperative organi- zations are going to capture the major part of the retail business of the nation. Or 1t may mean that they are going to force American business to reform along co-opera- tive lines.
 In any event, the co-ops have come to work deep and far-reach- ing changes. One cannot evade figures. And the figures of co-op gains are being written up for all to see.

Hints TO Gardeners
by Lyman White
Ftiower Expert
Ferry Seed Institute
Soils Flowers Prefer

GROW better flowers by planting
VI them in the kind of soil in
which they can perform best. Even
though your soil may be good and
rich, there + certain flowers which
will not do as we'll in it as they
might in poorer soil.
Some Of the flowers that do best
in a rich soil are the zinnia, petu-
MIA, portulaca, sn~apdragon, stock,
h%eliotrope, marigold and SALIVA.
Soil that is heavy and which con
tains clay is good for sweet peas,
pansies, stocks, carnations, scabio-
sas, s~napdragons and most of the
popular perennials. In general, a
heavy soil retains more moisture
and is cooler than a light soil. so
that the same plants that like a
heavy soil also like cool. moist
weather.
Flowers that prefer a light soil
include petunia, %portulaca. celosia.
hollyhock, love-in-a-mist, annual
phlox, calliopsis, nicotiana and all
the climbers. This type of soil is
good for the varieties that like
warmth and do not require much
water.
For flower gardens that are par.
TALLY shaded, calendula. balsam,
mlgnonette. pansy, vinca and many
of the perennials are advised.
The following, which require COM
paratively little moisture, can be
grown we'll in gardens which dry
out quickly: Little Gem alyssum,
African daisy, cosmos, petunia, por-
tulaca, kochia, sunfower, verbena
and vinca. They will often thrive
during drouths.
The most satisfactory flowers for
soil that is generally poor are mas
turtium, Notwithstanding, Joseph's
coat, celosia, alyssum, California
poppy, calendula, love-in-a-mist and
hollyhock. .~ ~.~>-.

FARMERS FIND
LABOR SCARCE

Richmond, Va.,-Employmen,
conditions improved more in the
past six weeks than in any similar
period since the beginning of the
depression, the Federal Reserve
bank of Richmond said in its
monthly business review today.
"There is actually a shortage of
labor in many rural sections, and
farmers are finding it difficult to
secure sufficient help to plant
their crops" it reported. IRE
lief rolls have been drawn upon SO
heavily that in many lines of work
calls for employees cannot be filed
with suitable men.
There is greater activity i'm
residential construction than, at
any time for several years, and a
considerable volume of industrial
building also is being DONE"
The report said road repair and
construction programs had given
employment for hundreds of men
not absorbed in private industry.
Retail trade for March, as re-
Elected in department store sales,
exceeded the same month in 1895

than for the first quarter of 1885.
All five leading wholesale lines

larger seasonal gains in
March as compared with Febru-
ary than they showed for the
same period last year. Collections
also were better than last year.
Building permits issued in leading

totaled $6,587,201 as compared
with $3,416,265 for the same
month of 1885. The number of

NATIONAL BANK DEPOSITS
REACH AN ALL-TIME HIGH

A new all-time high record of
$24,S59,455 900 in national bank
deposits was reached on March 4,
the last call for bank condition
statements, as revealed in reports
received by the comptroller of the
currency from the 5,3S1 active
national chartered institutions. The
figure exceeded by $11,722,o00, or
COS per cent, deposits reported on
December Fl, 1885 and by $512,-
O75 900, or 2.10 per cent the total
of December 81, 1928, the dates
of the two previous high records.
The deposits on March 4, 1886,
were $S,0S5,340,o00 or 1920 per
cent above the amount reported by
1902 licensed national banks on
June so, 1888, in the first call
after the banking holiday of March
that year. The total assets of all
national banks on March 4th last

RALPH w.
CANDIDATE IN THE
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

Raleigh-The strength of Ralph
W. Mcdonald, leading candidate
in the Democratic gubernatorial
primary, has been bolstered con-
siderably in the industrial Pied
mont, according to reports reach
ing campaign Headquarters here.
Further testimony to his popularity
was found in the capacity or over
flow crowds that have greeted Nc
Donald at his appearances in the
Piedmont during the past week.
DR.. Mcdonald struck a sympa-
thetic note with industrial workers
everywhere when he assailed the
sales tax as an unfair, vicious tax
upon poverty. Declaring that the
Democratic party of North Caro-
lima has always opposed a tax
based upon consumption instead of
ability to pay, DR.. Mcdonald gra-
phically pictured how payment of
the sales levy actually meant less
food on the tables of povert-strick-
en- families in this State.
Social security is another Nc
Donald issue hat found favor in
the Piedmont section. He pointed
out that the INDECENT old folks of
North Carolina are entitled to rea-
sonable pensions to aid them in
their declining years, and that
Federal funds are available for this
purpose if the State will enact
suitable conforming legislation.
Managers Of the anti-sales tax
candidates campaign are spending
this week in completing their Or
ganization throughout the State.
Practically all of the counties are
now organized with leading citi-
.ens in key positions. After a 10
day visit with Mcdonald leaders
in western counties, Manager w.
L. Lumpkin predicted that his can
didate would lead the field by a
large margin in the June { primary.

THE BALANCE CANNOT BE
T O

Some way must be found of as
surfing the individual worker his
chance. This 1.-THE problem of re-
employment Is not an issue hat
can be settled by hurting partisan
investive or making exaggerated
accusations o. unleashing political
rancor. 1t is a task for both bust
ness management and political
management. 1t is a task rot be
met if business restricts its outlook
to the four walls of the counting
room or particular industries meas
ure national progress in terms of
their own cash balances. 1t can
only be met by hard, cooperative
work and the exercise of that most
valuable attribute-still deep-root-
ed in the American people-com-
mon sense"
Many times since his Inaugural
ton, frequently during his cam
paign in 1882 and while serving as
Governor of New York, President
Roosevelt has stressed the obvious
obligation of business men in meet
ing the harrassing problem of the
unemployed.
But this time it is not the Presi-
dent of the United States speaking.
This clarion call for teamwork
and plea for prompt abandonment
of aloofness and studied selfishness
that has characterized the continu-
ing attitude of many of the coun-
try's largest employers is from Mr.
Harper Sibley, the president of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, delivered at its 24th general
session in Washington.
And as though he felt that he
had not covered the subject thor
ughly, Mr.. Slbley, In what amounts
to a complete vindication of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's persistence in
keeping ~eternally at his task of
driving home the plain duty of Big
Business to absorb as many of the
unemployed as possible from their
restored earnings, declared:
"The balance cannot be restored
by setting off the demagogue
against the ruthless profiteer."
The public will watch with in
terest the result of this long delay
ed indication of a break in the log
jam which has SO delayed partici-
patton in the Presidents recovery
program since the early days of
commercial convalescence in this
country. The definite 1o-point
plan proposed by Secretary Roper
to the U. S. Chamber points the
way and meets the case, as Mr..
Sibley's implied endorsement of it
plainly indicates.

PETROLEUM RATES CUT
BY FOUR ROADS

Raleigh, May = Chairman
Stanley Winborne of the State
Utilities commission announced to-
day four North Carolina railroads
had filed sharply reduced rates on
fulk petroleum shipments, the
cuts amounting to so per cent
in some cases.
The State Supreme Court last
week upheld the rights of railroads
to cut their rates in deciding an
action by oil trucking concerns
seeking injunctive relief to bar rail
reductions.
The new rates affect gasoline
and kerosene shipments by rail
from Wilmington to about 200
North Carolina cities and towns,
freight rate experts for the COM
mission stated. They were effec-
tive as of May 5.
Drastic reductions were shown
in rates to towns along the Cape
Fear river, where water t%ransporta-
ton completes with the railroads.
The rate to Fayetteville was cut
from IS to seven cents per hun
dred weight.
Winborne said he saw mo rea-
son why the retail price Of gaso-
line should not be lowered as a
consequence of the reductions and
the benefits passed on to consum-
ers." He said, however, that gaso-
Line companies did not cut the
price of motor fuel as a result of
freight rate reductions last August
amounting to about one cent per
gallon on petroleum shipments.

Dowell Predicts
Large Vote

Raleigh, May 1.-The larges,
primary election vote in the his.
tory of North Carolina is the pre-
diction of Willard L. Dowell, can
didate for State Auditor, who ha.
a penchant for figures. Not the
largest election vote, for it otter
happens that more Democratic vote.
are cast in a general election than
in the preceding primary election:
according to Mr.. Dowell, but the
largest primary vote.
Mr.. Dowell recently took time
out of his strenuous campaign for
the Democratic nomination for
State auditor to figure on the cleo
ton outlook. Looking back into
the past, he found that 234,77o
votes were cast in the 1884 contest
between Senator Josiah w. Bailey
and the late Governor Angus w.
Mclean for the gubernatorial nom
nation. Max Gardner was I'M
opposed in 1923, but it was another
story in 1882. In hat strenuous
campaign for Governor, with three
candidates, there were cast 1857
votes in the first Democratic pri-
mary and 351,026 in the second
primary.
Not less than 100000 votes is
the forecast by Mr.. Dowell in the
first Democratic primary this
year. He bases this prediction up
on the keen interest already mani
tested in the four-cornered con-
test for governor and in the strenu-
Gus campaign for other offices ini
Guiding that of State Auditor in
which Mr.. Dowen is letting no
grass grow under his feet. Pos
sibly never before has there been
such a lively interest a month pre-
vious to the election.
"a remarkable coincidence is the
fact that the second primary date
comes on July Fourth, independence
day." said MI. Dowell, speaking
of the possibilities for a large vote.
"The law says if a second pri-
mary is required it shall be held four
weeks after the first one. 1t may
be a second primary will not be
required, but indications are now
that it will, and if SO, doubtless
the fact that it is held on July
Fourth will cause many voters to
go to the polls who otherwise would
stay at home.
Eat any rate, independence ap-
peals to a great many North Caro-
lima voters, and from the interest
so far manifested this year, l be-
lieve they are going to exercise a
larger amount of independence in
their voting. And they are going
to vote, make no mistake about
that, in larger numbers than ever
before"
