THE Ell CENTRO PRODUCTION
CREDIT ASSOCIATION

The annual meeting of the FL CentfO
Production Credit association this week
brings into sharp relief the benefit
derived from this cooperative organlza-
ton by the farmers of Imperial and
Yuma valleys. In the words OF w. ).
Tocher, vice-president of the Production
Credit Corporation at Berkeley, the ri
Centro association rates very high
among similar groups.
The Ell Centro association last year
put into its reserve fund a profit OF
$4,000, making a total of about $4,000
in the fund which will be used eventu-
ally to retire Glass A stock and vest
ownership of the association in its mem
bers, who are also the borrowers. 10
borrow from the association, farmer
must become member, subscribing to
Glass 3 stock. Class A stock is owned
by a government agency, which loans
money to the Production Credit asso-
citation at two per cent. The association,
in turn, loans to its members at five per
cent. When all Glass A stock is retired,
the borrowers will be doing business with
an association controlled by themselves.
One good feature of the association
is that farmers may borrow money as
needed, paying interest only on the sum
actually in use, and may hold their crops
for a good market, rather than being
forced to sell to meet their obligation on
a given date.
Success of the association during the
last year is especially gratifying to busl-
ness interests because the fact that no
loss was recorded seems to indicate
strong financial footing for agriculture
in this region.

OF OPPORTUNITY

Next time you hear someone lament
that America is no longer the land OF
opportunity for the 'little fellows" OF
business. you might tactfully suggest
that he come down off his soapboX and
consult the record.
Seldom in history have fewer new en-
terprises ended on the rocks than during
1886. Seldom have fewer little fellows
folded up. Incomplete Dun & Brad
street reports indicate drop in COM
mercial failures to at least 10 per cent
below the figure for 1885. Only twice
since 1894 were there so few failures
as in one recent month.
Frontiers of the gold rush and cover
ed wagon days may be gone, and large
businesses may now comprise much OF
our economic activity, producing our
autos. refrigerators, and radios that only
mass methods can provide at low cost.
But the figures pretty well explode the
fiction - particularly in the retailing
field-that large businesses are gobbling
M the small ones like a whale after
school of small fish. That is simply not
so.
Large retail organizations have grown
up because they serve our needs. But
opportunities still abound for the youth
starting out in the world with small
stake and high determination to get
somewhere on his own Or for the elder
ly couple who would set up their own
place with money they'd saved in life
time of labor. America is still the land
of opportunity.
Today, in fact, the rewards are excep-
tionallv great for the initiative, courage,
and good hard work of he American
hoeing his own row.
Many "little fellow in the world
OF business, as he takes January inven-
tory i'm his small shop or corner store,

WHITE OAK
 MILLS BOOM

HARRISBURG, Ill, Sept. 13.- Sawmilling, a pioneer industry of this territory. has been revived be- cause Kentucky's distilleries need whisky barrels.
 Landowners are shipping their white oak to two mills for from $5 to $l0 a tree. One of the mills turns out slaves and the other barrel heads. Nearly 80 men are employed at the two mills, which have a daily capacity of 10000 boards.
 The white oak which abounds in this section is a tall tree which requires about 100 years to mature but officials of the Forest Service say it is one of the fast growing hardwoods. The wood resists Wa ter and is also used for shipbuild- ing and flooring It is "aircured' about 90 days before it is shipped to the distilleries.

 The only spot where the Tigers could use York was at third. So the big fellow was sent to the hot corner. He was no sensation.
 His chance to play regularly came when George (Birdie) Tebbetts, the youngster who took over the catch ing burden when Cochrane was in- jured. faded from regular duty.
 Recalling that York had started out as a catcher, the Tiger man. ager decided to try him behind the plate. York baked at the sug- gestion, saying he was getting tired of filling in" odd positions. He was first baseman He wanted to play first base. When it was impressed upon him that catching offered him an opportunity to get in the game daily, York decided to have fling at the job.
 Perhaps the opportunity to get a closeup of American league pitch ing had something to do with the return of his batting eye. Perhaps it was merely the result of being in there day in and day out. At any rate. York started out by busting fences He has been going great ever since.

 York came up to the Tigers as first baseman, by way of Milwau- kee from Beaumont of the Texas League. He had quite reputation as a slugger. His powerful stick work enabled him to win the 1886 most valuable player award in the Texas League and the 1886 Ameri- can Association prize.
 He was recalled by the Tigers this spring mainly to fill in at first for Hank Greenberg Gin case Green berg's bad left wrist had not com pletely mended. When Hank re- ported ready to take over his old post Rudy became one of Manager Micky Cochrane's problem children. It was hard to keep York, who hit

history has such a welcome been
given a bishop or to any one of
Negroid abstraction as was given
to Bishop and Mrs. Wright.

for you. Now God has answered
our prayer" In response to DR..
Cow, Bishop Wright said: 81 bring
you the greetings Of 10000, 900 of
your fellows in America. l hope not
only to bring yoh the Gospel of our
Lord Jesus, but to have you be-
come acquainted with the progress

to have them know you better. In

a number of our best American
Negroes will visit you here. For
your benefit l plan to have in the
